Tang Dynasty: To win Yang Guifei, they asked Emperor Xuanzong to die.

Li Linfu really couldn't understand it.

It's astonishing that such a lowly captain would be noticed.

He even felt that Li Mao already knew this person was deliberately asking him at this time.

In reality, Li Mao had no idea.

He simply wanted to find someone with a low rank but strong abilities, preferably someone who had suffered humiliation in the imperial court.

Such talent is easier to recruit.

So Li Mao smiled faintly and asked, "What is this person's character like?"

Li Linfu thought carefully for a moment and said, "The outside world says that this person is brave and fierce, but in reality he is a filial son."

"The reason why he offended the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was because the son harassed Wang Chong's mother-in-law in the street. This led to the conflict."

Li Mao thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't understand why a young man would flirt with a middle-aged woman.

Moreover, judging from his family background...

Countless young and beautiful girls would fight tooth and nail to enter his mansion and stay by his bedside.

This doesn't make sense at all.

But it has already happened. Perhaps it's because the son of the Vice Minister of Personnel has a unique taste?

"Seeing is believing, Lord Li. I would like to trouble you to think of a way to persuade him to join my ranks."

"I obey my orders."

As soon as Li Linfu finished speaking, the carriage came to a stop.

He lifted the carriage curtain and looked up to find himself in his own residence.

Although it was just a simple detail, it revealed a lot.

It's about controlling time, controlling people's hearts, and controlling future planning.

To see the whole picture through a small part; to understand the big picture from a small part.

A sense of fear even crept into Li Linfu's heart.

At the same time, he felt that his little tricks were utterly insignificant in front of His Highness Prince Shou.

"Go home."

Li Mao rode in a carriage that swayed and rocked as it headed toward the mansion.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "This person holds a low-ranking official position, so he won't be easily noticed."

"Moreover, there has never been an upper limit to the establishment of an online army."

"If we bring them under our command and build a large army that can operate both on land and water, we can openly expand our own forces."

Thinking of this, Li Mao shook his head to himself.

Naval officers were as numerous as hairs on a cow.

It's not necessary to keep an eye on this person.

However, this person is the closest, and currently, all the conditions meet the recruitment criteria.

Everything else depends on how Li Linfu handles it.

After returning to his residence, Li Linfu quickly changed his clothes.

He was thinking about a question.

How to get Wang Chong to willingly serve under Prince Shou.

No matter what, he was a member of the Wang clan of Taiyuan.

Although he was from a collateral branch of the family, he still held an official position, which meant that he possessed the arrogance unique to aristocratic families.

Therefore, we must wear down his arrogance, break his pride, and make him willingly submit to Prince Shou's command.

Thinking of this, Li Linfu already had an idea.

As evening fell, he hurriedly carried a generous gift, boarded a dilapidated carriage, and drove away.

at the same time.

Li Longji has already woken up.

He stretched lazily, glanced back at the wine jars scattered on the ground, and felt a strange sense of pride rise in his heart.

He even wanted to have a good drinking session with his civil and military officials.

He especially wanted to compete with the military generals in the army.

However, Li Longji still sighed when he thought about this.

Of all the officials in the court, who dares to disrespect me? Even those who can drink all hide it, for fear of losing their composure in front of me.

The invincible yet lonely feeling made Li Longji want to pick up the wine jar again.

“Tap, tap, tap~”

The sound of orderly and heavy footsteps outside the door caught Li Longji's attention.

A sense of panic even rose in his heart.

"Somebody come!"

Upon hearing Li Longji's angry shout, a maidservant rushed in from outside the door.

The moment he opened the door, Li Longji peeked through the crack and saw armored soldiers outside.

An invisible aura of imperial power emanated from Li Longji.

He was filled with anger, stood up abruptly from the low couch, and shoved aside the maid who hadn't even spoken yet.

"Why have you all gathered here? Do you perhaps intend to rebel?"

Li Longji roared angrily, and all the imperial guards stopped in unison, turned around in a neat semi-circle, and knelt down on one knee with their fists clasped in front of Li Longji.

"See Your Majesty!"

The orderly shouts of "Respectfully yours!" made Li Longji feel somewhat dazed.

The palace guards are clearly loyal to me, so why are they gathered here?

Could it be that an assassin appeared while I was asleep?

So, they're here to protect me?

The Imperial Guard Commander Wei Ting hurriedly rode over, dismounted in the blink of an eye, knelt on one knee before Li Longji, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"What happened?"

When Li Longji asked this question, everyone was stunned.

However, they quickly realized what was happening.

His Majesty was clearly suffering from a hangover and couldn't remember anything.

The commander of the Imperial Guards said coldly, "Your Majesty, before you rested, you personally issued an order to heavily guard the Imperial Study."

"This is His Majesty's personal order; please investigate it carefully, Your Majesty."

Li Longji looked at the tiger tally and order in Wei Ting's hand and couldn't recall ever issuing such an order.

Li Longji patted his head impatiently and said, "You may all step back."

"According to the order!"

After receiving the order.

The imperial guards withdrew in an orderly manner.

Li Longji staggered back to the imperial study.

He doesn't remember what he did or who he met.

He only thought he had drunk too much and was having a hangover, so he didn't suspect that he had been poisoned.

Xianglan observed everything from the shadows, a cold smile playing on her lips.

"His Highness Prince Shou's medicine is working; I'm afraid we'll need to increase the dosage in the future."

Thinking of this, Xianglan quickly returned to her palace and freshened up her clothes.

First, notify the imperial kitchen to prepare a special meal, and then contact the eunuchs that Li Mao had placed in the palace to deliver the message.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

When Xianglan, dressed up and smelling wonderful, came to the Imperial Study.

Gao Chen happened to be there too.

"Your Majesty, strong liquor is harmful to your health. I have prepared a soup for you to warm you up."

As they were talking, Xianglan slowly walked in.

Li Longji glanced at it and didn't find it familiar; instead, he found it novel.

If yesterday she was alluring and charming, today she is fresh and elegant, even giving off a fairy-like feeling, coupled with her resemblance to Consort Wu Hui.

Li Longji kept his eyes fixed on the orchid, and even considered placing it directly on his bed to savor it properly.

Gao Chen naturally felt Li Longji's gaze.

For a moment, he was also somewhat incredulous.

Having served the Emperor for so many years, I have witnessed firsthand that even when the Emperor was with Consort Wu Hui herself, he was never so infatuated with her.

What makes this fragrant orchid so special?

Before he could think it through, Li Longji turned around and looked at Gao Chen with a gloomy gaze, saying, "This is a trivial matter. We can discuss it tomorrow. You may leave."

Gao Chen left reluctantly.

As soon as they got back to their lodgings, Xiao Xizi came running over excitedly and said, "Grandpa Gao, there's good news! Great news!"
