Chapter 305 Li Dai's New Official
At the same time when Gao Lishi visited Yang's Mansion, Li Ye also met his grandfather. Li Linfu was no longer the prime minister, but an old man who retired from office.

The front of the mansion was deserted, and there was no more official who came to pay their respects. The front door was deserted, which was in stark contrast to the busy Yang Mansion.

The various retirement benefits that Li Longji gave Li Linfu are good. The mansion he lives in is an official house, and Li Longji directly gave him a private house, and also gave him a ten-acre garden house, which is located by the Qujiang Pond , which is equivalent to a villa for summer vacation and leisure.

There is also the high salary and various benefits of a first-rank grand master, and the land of Jin Guogong.

Li Linfu's Jin Guogong is a real title, and the title has land. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, there were many lands. At that time, the titles all had land, and officials without titles had positions.

In the middle Tang Dynasty, the land was almost merged, and the newly appointed titles no longer had land. Like Li Ye's Gaochang County Duke, Yang Guozhong's newly appointed Wei Guogong also had no land, and Li Linfu was a special case.

He has [-] hectares of Juetian, as well as manors that have been rewarded over the years and manors he has merged. Li Linfu's actual land is [-] hectares, which belong to five large manors, four in Guanzhong and one in Hanzhong.

As for how much wealth he has accumulated over the past few decades, I don't know. So Li Linfu retired, but the power of Xiangguo was cut off, but his wealth did not move, which is regarded as a safe landing.

The so-called inability to land safely does not mean that Li Linfu will be executed or the like, generally he will not be executed, but all his official positions and titles will be dismissed, all wealth will be confiscated, and he will be reduced to civilians. In the end, they were so destitute that they were not even as good as pheasants. For example, Cai Jing, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, died of starvation in the end.

Li Linfu no longer wore official uniforms, but changed into a loose fine linen Zen robe, wearing a gauze hat, sitting in front of the steps in the yard of the study, watching the breeze blow up the fallen leaves all over the ground.

"sit down!"

Li Linfu pointed to the steps beside him.

Li Ye sat down beside him, smiled lightly and said, "Grandfather is very relaxed now!"

Li Linfu nodded, "It's a little relaxed, but also a little bit lost. I can't even see the court memorials. The habit of decades suddenly disappeared, and I didn't get used to it all at once."

"Grandson was granted the title of Duke of Gaochang and served as the first governor of Hezhong, General Yunhui. Thank you grandfather for fighting for grandson."

Li Linfu showed shame on his face, shook his head and said: "You earned this by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. If I fight for you, you will be crowned king of the county. At the last moment, I still gave the opportunity to the eldest son and his wife Grandson, Ye'er, grandfather is really sorry!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Then I can feel more at ease."

Li Linfu nodded, "That's the reason. What you earn can last forever. What others give you is easy to get and easy to throw away. Yeer, you also got a manor?"

"In the south of Mei County, it is close to the Xiegu River and very close to Zhongnan Mountain. It seems to be [-] hectares."

"That's all Huangzhuang. What you got should be a Huangzhuang. It's very good. Twenty hectares is [-] mu. When do you plan to go and have a look?"

"Wait for your parents! Take them with you, and grandpa too."

"I won't go, lest those idiots say I'm biased and give the land to the fifth child."

After a pause, Li Linfu said again: "There is one more thing, your father is going to be transferred back to serve as Jingzhao Shaoyin!"

Li Ye was taken aback, Jingzhao Shaoyin is not easy to be, the city is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, no one can afford to offend, the famous splint officer, the officer who is angry, the current Jingzhao Shaoyin Xu Lin is because of Yang Xi. The assassination case was demoted to Huarong county lieutenant, his father's weak character, can he be Jingzhao Shaoyin?Yang Guozhong would first put small shoes on him.

"How did you think of letting your father be Jing Zhaoyin?"

"I don't know either. I originally thought it was Yang Guozhong's intention. Later, Gao Lishi told me that it was decided by the emperor, and it was decided before you came back. I don't know why?"

Li Ye had no choice but to stop thinking about it for the time being, and asked again: "Then who is Jing Zhaoyin?"

"Xianyu Zhongtong, he led the army to attack Nanzhao but failed, and lost troops and lost generals. Yang Guozhong interceded with him and transferred him to Beijing to serve as Jing Zhao Yin."

Speaking of the failure of attacking Nanzhao, Li Ye remembered some sayings of later generations, saying that Nanzhao rebelled during the Tianbao period. The army was killed in Nanzhao.

Later, Yang Guozhong sent people to attack Nanzhao again, and more than 20 people were killed in battle again, and nearly [-] people were killed in two battles.

Looking at it now, these records are obviously exaggerated. The total strength of the Jiedu Mansion in Jiannan is only a little over 3, and more than half of them are stationed in western Sichuan to defend against Tubo. The maximum number of troops that can be used is more than [-].

Moreover, suppressing a local ethnic minority rebellion without using the army in the center of the imperial court is itself the responsibility of the Jiannan Jiedushi.

Xianyu Zhongtong led more than 1 people to attack Nanzhao. It should be that he failed to achieve his goal, and thousands of casualties are possible.

But if it is said that Yang Guozhong concealed the truth of the defeat from the emperor, and recommended Xianyu Zhongtong as Jing Zhaoyin, this is a bit nonsense. The tenth year of Tianbao was when Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong fought fiercely. Yang Guozhong wanted to conceal the truth of the defeat. Li Linfu Now, how could Yang Guozhong hide it?

If Xianyu Zhongtong loses miserably, it is even more impossible for him to become Jing Zhaoyin, and Li Linfu will not let him go, and will definitely take the opportunity to cut off Yang Guozhong's arm.

So the truth is that some historians hated Yang Guozhong, and in order to show Yang Guozhong's incompetence, he deliberately exaggerated his defeat in the Battle of Nanzhao.

The fact should be that after the fierce battle between the Tang army and the Nanzhao army, neither could win, and the two sides reached a compromise, so the war ceased, which is more reasonable.

Li Linfu said again: "You happen to be in the capital during this time, so help your father and stabilize him."

Li Ye nodded silently.

After coming out of Pingkangfang, the drums to close the gate of the workshop sounded rumblingly. At this time, it was too late to return to Taipingfang, so Li Ye immediately rode to the old house of Changlefang.

"Come in! This is our old house. No one lives there. I will stay here temporarily tonight. Go home tomorrow!"

Li Ye's two subordinates are Guan Pei, from Yong County, Qizhou, and Xu Chunsheng, from Zheng County, Huazhou. After staying in Chang'an for four months, Li Ye asked the two of them to go home separately and come back in the spring.

There are many rooms in the old house, each of them packed up a room, put down their luggage, fed the horses, arranged for the horses to rest, and then went to Changlefang to eat and drink together.

Li Ye didn't need their company. He remembered something and almost forgot.

Li Ye tidied up a bit, climbed up the city wall, and ran all the way. He didn't see any guards on the top of the city, nor in the lanes, but there were many guards on the side of Chunming Gate.

Li Ye rushed to the top of Furong House in Shenglongfang Quan, and found the small suitcase and dagger from a hole in the city wall. The suitcase was quite heavy, weighing at least twenty catties. He returned with the small suitcase and dagger old house.

Quan Furong and her maid were executed this afternoon, and the mansion and other properties were confiscated by the government. Only this small suitcase and dagger were not confiscated by the government. I wonder what is inside?
Under the light, Li Ye put the small suitcase aside first, and drew out the dagger. The dagger shone coldly and was extremely sharp, with two seal characters engraved on the spine of the sword.

Li Ye recognized the two seal characters and was stunned.
