Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 542 An Old Dog
Li Longji used to be well aware of their manipulation of power behind them, their corruption and bribery.

But he didn't shake the foundation of Datang, so he just turned a blind eye.

After all, their abilities are good, which is good for him to master Datang.

But they didn't expect that their indulgence made them more and more courageous.

Now, the corrupt ink has reached the treasury.

This is shaking the foundation of Datang!
No matter how old and dizzy Li Longji was, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the serious and the serious.

Looking at Li Linfu below, the courtier who had followed him for decades, Li Longji was very disappointed, and even more angry in his heart.

And Li Linfu, hearing Li Longji's disappointed tone, cried out in tears, "Your Majesty, the veteran will never dare to covet the money in the national treasury. Please check it out clearly and return my innocence."

"Your Majesty, I don't know who slandered me, but your Majesty must not fall for it. This person definitely has evil intentions towards Datang!..."

"Brother, do you still remember the oath you made when I met you?" Li Longji was still unmoved, and asked melancholy.

"Old minister, remember..." Li Linfu, who was full of tears, suddenly froze, looked up at Li Longji and nodded.

It seemed to be brought into memory by Li Longji's words, and he said in a very complicated voice, "The minister said at the time that the prosperous age when he founded Taizong with His Majesty even surpassed the rule of Zhenguan."

"Yes, at that time, after hearing about it, I tried my best to rule it. Although it cannot be compared with Taizong, it also brought the Tang Dynasty back into the prosperous age." Li Longji sighed.

Immediately afterwards, the conversation changed sharply, and he asked Li Linfu sadly, "But what about you, in this prosperous age, you have become so close to me that you don't even know yourself. You think that in this prosperous age, you have to do it for yourself." Your own hard work, to seek due benefits."

"And I think you have worked hard and let you go, but why can't you hold back, become greedy, and become obsessed with power."

"Forcibly dragging the prosperous Tang Dynasty into the abyss of ruin, and destroying your own oath with one hand, don't you have any regrets!"

After finishing speaking, Li Longji thumped his chest and said, "I have also been flattered by you, reporting good news but not worrying, which made me confused about the facts and became what I am today."

"I hate myself, why my heart floats with you, I can't stabilize the prosperous world I created, I'm so wrong!"

"Brother, you answer me, how should I choose!..."

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows his mistakes and is willing to be punished." In Li Linfu's heart, there was a dead silence, and he kowtowed heavily on the ground.

He finally understood.

Li Longji is making use of the problem, trying to get rid of his power.

Because he was really old, already unable to do what he wanted, and he would not let himself continue to turn upside down in this court.

"I've missed you for decades. Confiscated two-thirds of the family wealth for your contributions to the Tang Dynasty, dismissed all official positions, and returned to the mansion to live your life." Li Longji waved his hand wearily, closing his eyes.

It seemed that he couldn't bear to watch the lonely figure of this old minister who had been with him for decades when he walked out of the hall.

"Caomin thank you Your Majesty, may my Tang Dynasty be prosperous forever." Li Linfu bowed to Li Longji, trembling and stood up.

Looking around, all the officials at the moment turned around and walked out of the hall in a self-deprecating manner, looking like an old dog, walking toward the twilight.

And the officials who saw all this, not only did not have the slightest look of joy, but all of them looked ugly.

Everyone is at risk.

How come they don't know the tricks in it.

A pair of very complicated eyes were revealed, watching Li Linfu leave.

Among them, Fatty An's face was even paler, the fat on his face trembling, and he had an urge to flee Chang'an City immediately after returning home.

Even Li Linfu, who was the minister-in-law of the court, was dismissed from his official position by Li Longji regardless of the consequences, and returned to his family to provide for the elderly.Then the soldiers of his three towns were defeated and retreated one after another, if it wasn't for the fact that he held the military power in his hands.

I'm afraid he will be beheaded directly by Li Longji.

A sense of panic filled his heart.

The same is true, and Yang Guozhong.

Down there, she kept wiping the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeves, and she was also quite frightened, afraid that it would be her turn next.

But just when Li Linfu stepped out the door.

A figure quickly ran past him and shouted, "Report, Your Majesty, great food victory, Turkic victory, Mingzhou victory!!"

Before the voice fell, the whole court exploded in an instant.

They stared at each other, and the bad people who stepped into the hall immediately widened their eyes and opened their mouths in shock, unable to believe what they heard.

The extremely rapid change of mood also made their facial expressions a little weird and ugly.

"What are you talking about, Dashi, Turkic, Mingzhou Great Victory!!" Li Longji opened his eyes instantly, stood up excitedly and said, "Quickly tell me in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The villain knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice, "His Royal Highness Tang's general Hua Xiong and others killed 30 Dashi soldiers within five days, recaptured the city of Baghdad, and are continuing to advance into Dashi. .”

"Among the Turks, General Baiqi led more than [-] iron cavalry, and ordered a surprise attack on the Turkic royal court within seven days, resulting in the destruction of the Turkic royal court and the royal court gods, and the beheading of the priest Ash Desunong."

"In the Huber Grassland, apart from the Astard royal family, there is also the Ashina royal family, and the Turkic Khan has not surrendered. At this moment, the entire Turkic family has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"General Guo Ziyi of Mingzhou, with the help of the soldiers under King Tang, swept the soldiers of the East Island all the way and drove them to the coast."

"His Royal Highness King Tang is about to arrive in Xiahai Town, Mingzhou."

"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Li Longji was stunned for a while, then clapped his hands again and again, and said excitedly, "The soldiers of the king of Tang are indeed very fierce. With him guarding our Tang Dynasty, why should our Tang Dynasty not be strong? What a relief!"

The officials of the court also came back to their senses and exclaimed in surprise.

"I didn't expect that the Four Kingdoms' attack on Tang, which caused me a lot of headaches, would allow His Royal Highness the King of Tang to destroy the Three Kingdoms so easily."

"I have no words to speak of the horror of His Royal Highness Tang."

"How long has it been? The battles in the three places have resulted in great victories. Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Tang is the God of War?"

"Conquer the Turks, crusade against the big food, and subdue the surrounding small countries. The territory of our Great Tang will be doubled. How big is this territory? How big is our Great Tang?"

It is hard to imagine the current court officials.

This is beyond their knowledge.

But at this moment.

Li Linfu, who was standing at the entrance of the main hall, said loudly, "Your Majesty, the life and death of the grassroots are not important, but the king of Tang must not stay, otherwise I will no longer belong to your majesty in the future!"

Wow! …

The court officials, who were extremely excited, trembled with fright at Li Linfu's words, and their complexions gradually turned black.

It's like having a meal.

A fly flew into the mouth, which made people very sick and lost their appetite.

Moreover, Li Linfu's words were words of condemnation. They were intended to make Li Longji's life unhappy, and they were also a way of alienation.

If I have a hard time, I want Li Yi to suffer too!

"You are presumptuous!" Li Longji was furious when he heard the words, raised his finger and shouted at Li Linfu, "The king of Tang is so loyal and saved my Tang Dynasty from the fire and water, how dare you slander me like that!"
