Even Li Cangyu himself felt that he was talking nonsense.

But Niannu just looked at him with a look of "I'll just watch you perform quietly", neither reprimanding nor exposing it. Her expression was similar to the eldest sister in the family who was naughty and was speechless when she was speechless.

Li Cangyu felt a little embarrassed and laughed, "Master Zhai, you'd better say it, you'll say it."

"You are very capable and have heard of the Duke and Marquis overnight." Nian Nu said lightly, "But you can also cause trouble. How many people in the capital want you to die now, do you know?"

Li Cangyu nodded, "I know."

"Have you ever thought about how to survive?" Nian Nu asked.

Li Cangyu raised his head forty-five degrees and looked at the beautiful flying geese candlestick above his head, "You can't hide back to the mountains."

"Speak well."

Li Cangyu coughed awkwardly and thought, although I don’t know why, Niannu is clearly helping me sincerely, otherwise he really doesn’t need the emperor to hear my name too. How can Wenda Yu Duke and Marquis compare to Wenda Yu Tianting?

"I'll ask the master of the vegetarianism to save me!" Li Cangyu bowed, very sincere and honest.

Niannu finally showed a slightly satisfied smile, and his expression seemed to be saying - it seems that you are still a little impressed in your heart!

"Now you have two choices." Niannu said, "The first one, you have rejected it."

Go to the Yiwang Mansion to be a free official?

Li Cangyu was slightly stunned and asked directly: "What about the second one?"

"Feed to Li Linfu."

Li Cangyu's brows suddenly frowned deeply.

Indeed, almost no officials in the Tang Dynasty could escape, and Li Linfu, the ten thousand-year-old spider spirit, was controlled by Li Linfu. Especially the officials in the capital, if they wanted to stay here, they would not dare to go against Li Linfu. Strictly speaking, even loyal and upright officials like Li Guangbi and Yan Zhenqing are now obediently surrendering to Li Linfu's power and dare not be out of line.

But... I want me to defect to Li Linfu?!

"This won't work!" Li Cangyu refused decisively.

Niannu was not surprised and asked calmly: "Why?"

Li Cangyu thought for a moment and asked back, "I want to ask the master of Zhai first, why do I want me to surrender to Li Linfu?"

"You offended the Emperor's Imperial Guard. If you cause such a big disaster, only two people in the world can protect you. One of them is His Majesty the Emperor. I have tried it, and he has no time to care about you at all. Then there is only another one, Li Linfu, who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people." Nian Nu said calmly: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"It sounds like nothing is wrong." Li Cangyu said, "but if you think about it carefully, it's very wrong."

"Oh?" Niannu was a little surprised, "Then I'm curious. Why don't you ask for some advice."

"This... is not a question of guidance." Li Cangyu smiled and said, "I would like to ask the master of Zhai, Li Linfu lives a long life this year?"

"...It's about seventy." Nian Nu blinked, and obviously began to think seriously.

"Seventy." Li Cangyu smiled slightly, "It's rare for a person to live in seventy years."

"Even if Li Linfu's reign won't be too long," Nian Nu said, "but if you don't surrender to him now, you will be finished immediately."

"Is that true?" Li Cangyu smiled, "Then I can only do it at most, avoid him and not go against him, just like those of Li Guangbi and Yan Zhenqing. But if I want me to openly surrender to him and be able to achieve glory and prosperity under his support, then I would rather hide back to the mountains."

Nian Nu frowned slightly, "Why are you so disgusted with Li Linfu?"

Li Cangyu was slightly stunned by this, and he couldn't help but think of some important things.

In fact, many famous people in history only gained a clearer understanding of him many years after his death. For example, Du Fu, who is not very famous now. Among the many poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he can only be considered to be of medium status at most. Du Fu became famous in history fifty years after his death because the prime minister and poet Yuan Zhen read his collection of poems.

The "famous treacherous prime minister" Li Linfu is actually the same.

In later generations, when everyone talked about Li Linfu, they all unanimously believed that he was a treacherous minister. But in fact, Li Linfu's reputation is not bad now. He has a strong desire to force his power and persecuted many people, but there are no political struggles in which dynasty and era. Even famous wise ministers like Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Jiuling have time to settle political enemies.

But at present, it is really difficult for the people to know the truth if Li Linfu did something quietly. It is like Li Cangyu learned about Li Linfu's true character through reading history books. But he could not know what illegal and irregular activities the Ouyang Captain who was very close to him had done.

Li Linfu really became a treacherous minister because the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion destroyed the prosperous Tang Dynasty. People thought about it in turn and realized that Prime Minister Li Linfu had to bear great responsibility for the Anshi Rebellion.

In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu is not a "traitor" at all, but a powerful and prestigious official in the world. In addition to those political enemies who were defeated and attacked by Li Linfu, people generally have a relatively positive evaluation of Li Linfu.

Because of this, Niannu felt puzzled by Li Cangyu's disgust with Li Linfu.

Li Cangyu had to organize the language and explain it carefully.

So he said, "When I read the "Book of Han", it says, 'I am despising the Venerable'. The thoughts and behaviors of great people are not something that I can understand thoroughly by the civilians like me. I just instinctively feel that Li Linfu is very dangerous. I don't want to get close to you."

"Dangerous?" Nian Nu frowned, "Where does this start?"

Li Cangyu said, "Li Linfu has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and is inferior to ten thousand people. He is powerful and has many enemies. I heard in the army that as long as he goes out, he must have the troops of the Jinwu Guard to warn him. He is seventy years old, how long can he remain in power? Once he falls down, how can he be finished? I am still young, and I don't want to take the initiative to come up and bury him for his life!"

"..." Niannu suddenly fell into deep thought.

Li Cangyu said that "there are many enemies" and "the Jinwu Guard pioneered the way" were well known in Chang'an, and of course Niannu knew about it. In fact, there were many other rumors that Li Linfu installed iron plates and mechanisms in the mezzanine of the bedroom to prevent assassins because he was afraid of revenge. Every night he had to change several places, and even his family didn't know which room he slept in. Niannu also knew about these ordinary people.

After thinking for a moment, Niannu said, "Unless you really plan to retreat to the mountains, you must find a real backer in the officialdom as your support. Although Yi Wang and I can take care of you, neither of us has real power."

Yes, real power!

Li Cangyu seized this keyword and thought to himself: King Yi is noble, Niannu has energy, but neither of them has real power. To put it bluntly, both of them are just "parasitics" of imperial power. If I want to make some achievements, I can treat "parasitics" as ally, but I must never parasitize them on parasites anymore!

In today's court, although Li Longji fully entrusted Li Linfu to take charge of the national affairs, he did not let him be the only one. Playing with political balance has always been Li Longji's specialty.

Li Linfu is a typical representative of the "official sect" of the Tang Dynasty. He only truly rose by killing the literary school represented by "Zhang Jiuling". Now, the "foreign relatives faction" represented by Yang Guozhong is rising, which has launched an impact on Li Linfu's position. In addition, there have always been a large number of border generals and military governors forming the "military martial faction" and are controlling Li Linfu.

The official sect, the foreign relatives sect, the military sect, and the three kingdoms fought each other, and Li Longji was the referee. With such a simple operation, Li Longji played the entire country of the Tang Dynasty in applause. The Tang Dynasty has always been prosperous and there are no troubles. Therefore, Li Longji had plenty of time to play with Yang Guifei in the world. He was really comfortable as an emperor.

But Li Linfu, the official sect, was almost over, and Yang Guozhong's foreign relatives' faction was also a junk stock that was prosperous on the surface. So Li Cangyu's ideas have always been very clear!

"I'll still insist on joining the army." Li Cangyu said decisively, "Even if the capital really can't survive, I would rather go to the border military town and fight on the battlefield!"

"Are you so stubborn?" Nian Nu frowned, as if there was a hint of anger.

Li Cangyu bowed and bowed, "Zhaizhu, everyone has their own ambitions."

Niannu took a deep breath, and the anger on her face disappeared in an instant. She nodded, "Fortunately, I specially brought you here and asked about this."

Li Cangyu said in confusion: "What the master of Zhai means is..."

"To be honest, King Yi ordered me to find Li Linfu to open the joints for you." Nian Nu said, "When the limelight of fighting and killing passes, you will be allowed to find a job under the guise of Li Linfu."

Li Cangyu nodded, "Thank you, Lord Zhai, and tell me the truth."

"No need to thank me, I haven't done anything yet," Nian Nu said. "The limelight of fighting and killing has not yet passed. The Captain Ouyang, who is responsible for training you recruits, has just been removed from his post and sent back to his hometown to farm."

Li Cangyu's heart lit up. If he had to capture a typical example on the Jinwu Guard and balance the anger of the imperial guards, the Chief Ouyang Master would indeed have to bear great responsibility. If it weren't for his poor control and improper handling, the martial arts competitions of a few small soldiers would not have caused bloody fighting. Furthermore, such a killing can also achieve the effect of serious military discipline of the Jinwu Guard... Li Guangbi's handling of this trick is quite beautiful!

"There's another thing." Nian Nu said, "What are you going to deal with Zhang Xu's affairs?"

Li Cangyu was immediately amazed and laughed, "No matter what, I will not let him become a disciple!"

Niannu also smiled, "But why don't you be his student?"

Li Cangyu raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up. He really saw the same thing as a hero!

"Yes, it seems you've thought about it a long time ago." Nian Nu smiled slightly, "On the side of King Yi, I'll reply to you first. In fact, he can be considered righteous to you. But you repeatedly rejected his kindness. You have to think about it yourself and how to deal with it next!"

Countless cups, rice bowls, chopsticks and shoes flashed through Li Cangyu's mind, and his head suddenly became bigger.

That crazy prince!

What exactly does he want to do?!
