Open guns are easy to hide, dark arrows are difficult to defend, and villains like to trip people behind their backs, and they can't be defended. Those who have achieved something in this regard have to say that Li Linfu, the prime minister of Xuanzong, who is known as the "sword of the mouth and the belly".
Li Linfu was the chancellor of the Tang Dynasty, and his great-grandfather Li Shuliang was the cousin of Li Yuan, the emperor of Tang Gaozu. He served as Emperor Xuanzong's chancellor for nineteen years, the longest reigning chancellor during The reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. In the later period, he excluded dissidents and suggested the reuse of Hu generals, who were the key figures in the Tang Dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline.
He excluded dissidents, one set in front of his face and one set behind his back, and people gave him the title of "Mouth Honey Belly Sword". Here are three examples.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > Xuanzong's horseback riding posture was beautiful, and Li Linfu designed it to demote it</h1>
Tang Xuanzong once watched the music and dance in the curtain of the Qinzheng Building. Lu Xuan, the soldier's attendant, thought that Xuanzong had left, so he rode slowly downstairs on horseback. He was personable and praised by Emperor Xuanzong.
When Li Linfu learned that he was worried that Lu Xuan would be used seriously, he summoned Lu Xuan's son and said to him: "Your father is well-known, and there is now a shortage of capable officials in Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and other places in Lingnan Province, and Your Majesty intends to let your father go." If he refuses to go to Lingnan, he will definitely be demoted. I will give you an idea, it is better to let him go to the eastern capital Luoyang to be a prince guest or a prince Zhan Shi, which is also a prominent position of Qing Gui. ”
Lu Xuan did not want to go to Lingnan, so he took the initiative to take up his post in Luoyang according to Li Linfu's suggestion. Li Linfu, fearing that he would go against the expectations of the people, appointed him the Assassin of Huazhou, and soon after he played the role of Emperor Xuanzong, saying that he was ill and could not be a member of the council, and demoted him to the position of prince and a foreign official.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > fearing that Emperor Xuanzong would use the degraded Yan Tingzhi, Li Linfu designed it so that he could not return to Beijing</h1>
Tang Xuanzong once asked Li Linfu, "Where is Yan Tingzhi now, this person can still be used." Yan Tingzhi had previously been demoted from the imperial court, and was now serving as an assassin in Daizhou.
Li Linfu was worried that he would be reused, so he summoned his brother Yan Zhizhi and said, "Your Majesty respects your brother very much, why don't you let your brother go to the book, just say that he has a wind disease, and ask to return to Beijing for medical treatment." That way he could go back to Asahi. ”
Yan Tingzhi did not know what the plan was, and indeed wrote to Xuanzong according to his suggestion. After Li Linfu got his sonata, he said to Xuanzong: "Yan Tingzhi is very old, and he has recently suffered from wind disease, so he should be given an idle official position to let him recuperate with peace of mind." Emperor Xuanzong sighed for a long time and sent Yan Tingzhi to Luoyang to serve as crown prince Zhan Shi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > designed to frame and fight for power</h1>
Li Shizhi competed with Li Linfu for power after worshipping him, but because of his rough personality, he often fell into Li Linfu's trap.
Li Linfu once said to Li Shizhi: "There are gold mines in Mount Hua, and mining can enrich the country, but the emperor does not know it yet." When Li Shizhi went to court one day, he informed Tang Xuanzong of the Huashan Gold Mine, and Xuanzong asked Li Linfu. Li Linfu said, "The minister already knew, but Mount Hua is His Majesty's Honmei Mountain, which is where the king's qi lies, and it is not suitable for excavation, so the minister did not mention it." ”
Tang Xuanzong thought that Li Shizhi was not doing things well, and said to him angrily: "When you play things in the future, you must first consult with Li Linfu and do not advocate on your own." Li Shizhi has been gradually alienated since then.
In a thousand years, Li Linfu has been an ancient man, but his soul still exists in the world today, and his "spirit" is still being learned by some people. Most of these people are close to the company's leaders, and they cannot easily offend. Even if you don't make a big mistake, but let him (her) be unhappy, he (she) will play right and wrong in front of the leader, and wear small shoes for people, which is really invincible.
