Yang Shenjin stood outside the Xingqing Palace gate with his eyes squinted, waiting for the news to be heard inside.

His three brothers were all handsome and stood there like a handsome tree, with a very ministerial body. However, when he saw someone behind him, he frowned and said unhappily: "Wang, you are not working in your own government office at this time, why are you going here?"

At this time, the one who arrived in front of Xingqing Palace was the King of the Censors who held several positions at the same time. In terms of official positions, although the king was under Yang Shenjin, he was also a minister of the court. Why is it disrespectful to call him a name? However, the relationship between Yang Shenjin and the King's king is different. The two families are relatives, and Yang Shenjin and the King's father are cousins, so the King is his cousin. Although the King was Li Linfu and was promoted to the Censors' Headquarters, Yang Shenjin, who was the Censors at the time, also made great efforts in it. Later, the King was also promoted to the Censors' Headquarters, which was equivalent to Yang Shenjin's official position. However, Yang Shenjin relied on his elders and was kind to the King, so he was quite rude to him, and he called him the name directly.

Hearing Yang Shenjin calling him like this, the king's expression remained unchanged, but he just smiled and realized: "The Minister is not in the office."

"Irregular, it's indeed the son of a slut." Yang Shenjin was currently dreaming of the prime minister's spring and autumn. He was very dissatisfied with Wang Bujing calling himself uncle and scolded him now.

Wang's expression suddenly froze, but after he glanced at Yang Shenjin, he did not respond.

Yang Shenjin has always been like this to the king. Perhaps because he is too familiar with it, there is no respect at all. Although the king's father was Yang Shenjin's cousin, his mother was just a maid of a humble background. Yang Shenjin often insulted the king with this.

Seeing the king looking at him, Yang Shenjin was a little annoyed. He was waiting for the emperor to receive him in front of Xingqing Palace. If the emperor wanted to see the king for the first time and made him lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what a pity would it be. Therefore, he scolded again: "If the maid is born, you have not retreated, what should you do in front of me?"

The blue veins on the side of the king's forehead leaped straight, but at this time, Yang Shen was so arrogant that he could only swallow his anger and retreat.

The king left, and a small eunuch appeared in front of Yang Shenjin: "Shilarious Minister Yang, the saint summoned you to the palace to meet you."

Yang Shenjin tidied up his clothes, especially rubbed his face, making him look very energetic, and then he entered with great enthusiasm.

Li Longji chose ministers and valued appearance. If he was not outstanding in appearance, he would be much slower in his promotion and transfer, and he was even not qualified to become a core senior official. Yang Shenjin took big steps while walking, making him look agile.

After a while, he arrived in front of Li Longji. After he finished his salute, he heard Li Longji ask, "What are you doing if you want to see me?"

Li Longji seemed a little unhappy, but Yang Shenjin didn't care. He asked Li Longji for instructions on the excuse of allocating food and wages in the northwest. Li Longji was halfway through hearing this, and then became impatient and waved his hand and said, "You can report this to Li Xiang. After defeating Xiao Bolu, you will report the results of the battle..."

Yang Shenjin hesitated for a moment and then said, "I have just come from Prince Li's house. Prince Li seems to be in a state of discomfort and is unable to deal with this matter. The food and salary of the soldiers in front of him is of great importance. If they do not make a decision quickly, they may cause trouble. Therefore, they have to disturb Your Majesty. Please forgive your crime."

"Don't feel well?" Li Longji heard Yang Shenjin say the same thing, and couldn't help but look somber: "How can you feel unwell? Why can't you even do official business?"

"I heard that Mr. Li suddenly became dumb for several hours today. When I went to visit him, Mr. Li woke up, but he couldn't recognize who he was. He mistakenly thought that he was Yang Zhao and asked him to use his son-in-law to do so. I thought that the saint knew about this... Could it be that Mr. Li's family made a mistake in their busy lives and forgot to report to the saint?"

Yang Shenjin buried a trap for Li Linfu in a small way. Sure enough, when Li Longji heard this, his eyebrows frowned: "I'm afraid that his family was not busy... General Gao, go to the Li Mansion for me to see what happened?"

If Li Linfu's family deliberately concealed Li Linfuru's condition, then the nature would be serious. If Li Linfu instructed his family to conceal it intentionally, the nature would be even more serious. The prime minister is the cauldron of the country, and only the emperor has the right to use it. If he privately grants and receives it, the national law will be difficult to tolerate.

Gao Lishi hesitated a little, looked at Yang Shenjin and found that Yang Shenjin was full of confidence. He also believed in 70% of the statement that Li Linfu was sick, but out of his usual caution, he still said: "Why do I go?"

"It just so happened that Ye Chang offered a batch of cotton cloth produced in Liaodong as tribute, so he gave half of it to Li Linfu." Li Longji said.

At this time, the price of cotton cloth was more expensive than silk. Although it was no longer as high as it was when it was called white stacked cloth in the past few years, ordinary silk was still not as good as cotton cloth. After hearing Li Longji's instructions, Gao Lishi knew it and bowed and left.

He was familiar with the road in Xingqing Palace. He prepared cotton cloth before long and rushed to Li Linfu's mansion. When he arrived at Li Linfu's mansion, it was already afternoon. Gao Lishi asked him to come forward and call the door. After a while, the door of Li's mansion opened wide and saw Li Linfu's son Li Xiu greeting him.

"Why is General Gao free to come today?" Li Xiu looked tired and looked like he had encountered something very tired just now.

"The saint asked me to give cotton cloth to Li Xiang... Where is Li Xiang now?" asked Gao Li Shi.

"Oh, General Gao came a bit unfortunate..." Li Xiu looked a little strange.

Gao Lishi smiled and yelled, but muttered in his heart. It seemed that Li Linfu was really sick.

"Please take me to see Mr. Li," said Gao Lishi.

"This father is a little...inconvenient now, he is not in the mansion." Li Xiu looked a little embarrassed.

"Oh, where is that? The emperor gave rewards and welcoming them in person, so as not to lose the rudeness and arouse the saint's anger. It is not beautiful. When I go to see my husband, I will first issue the saint's decree."

"General Gao is right... Since that's the case, General Gao asks me to change his clothes."

"Change?" Gao Lishi said in confusion: "Why do you change clothes?"

“It’s more convenient.”

Then someone presented clothes, but they were just ordinary clothes, not the eunuch clothes that Gao Lishi often wore. Gao Lishi wore them outside, and was still thinking in his heart what Li Xiu said meant. What was the convenience that Li Xiu said meant?

After he changed his clothes, Li Xiu led Gao Lishi to the east and went straight into the gate of the east city. Gao Lishi said in surprise: "Is this... my husband really not at home?"

"I'm not at home, can General Gao know about Guan Yun, the chief of Dongcheng City?"

"Chief Guan Yun of Dong City... I heard about it, what?"

The so-called Guan Yunchang of the East City is a football team in the East City. Since Ye Chang founded the football match in the first year of Tianbao, although Chang'an's football market has not developed much, there have been many more teams. At first, the teams were often named after the market, such as the West City Football Club, Qinglongfang Football Club or Jing'an Football Club, but later several teams appeared in the same market. If you want to distinguish them, you must name them again.

At this time, "Embroidered Souls of the Three Kingdoms" was very popular. A football club in Xishi took the lead in a Zhao Zilong football club in Xishi. Dongshi was not convinced, so he established a Guanyun long football club in East City. Then, for Zhao Yun or Guan Yu's strength, the two sides developed from debate to adding up their punches and kicks last year. Last year, someone suggested that the two sides should not decide which one is stronger by the game.

This proposal is very good, so the two football clubs held a "No. 1 Player of the Three Kingdoms" competition on March 13 last year, and the Dongshi Guanyun Long Football Club won. Zhao Zilong was not convinced and made an appointment to fight again next year. The agreed time was today.

"You mean... Li Xianggong is watching the football game?" Gao Lishi was shocked.

"This is exactly... my father did not want to be known to others, so he came in vain and asked General Gao to be in vain, which is for this."

Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, and then looked behind him. He was surrounded by two little eunuchs, both of whom had changed clothes, and Li Xiu, who was wearing ordinary clothes, was no different from ordinary people on the streets.

This experience made Gao Lishi a little new, but his attention was mainly focused on what Li Xiu said just now: Li Linfu was watching the football game.

I have never heard of Li Linfu's interest in football games before, but if what Li Xiu said was true, Li Linfu should be in good health and there would be no hidden diseases such as strokes. In recent years, dozens of elderly people have died of stroke or heartache while watching football games because they were too intense and nervous.

The East City has been renovated since the previous year. Just like the West City, the original cross streets and alleys in the city remained unchanged, the roads remained spacious, but the greening was more green, and the road surface was basically hardened. In the northeast corner of the East City, there is the stadium. Because it is separated from Xingqing Palace, it is a street, sometimes Li Longji would take Yang Yuhui and others to look here on the Qinzhengwu Building to watch the fun of ordinary people.

Gao Lishi was brought here, and there were crowds of people on the stairs made of cement. There were at least ten thousand people gathered here to watch the football. There were more than 200 soldiers and servants patrolling back and forth in batches, while vendors with various stalls were constantly hawking. At this time, the whistling of the ball viewers was as loud as the sea waves.

"My father is here...but there are many people here, so we can't find anyone for a while." Li Xiu led Gao Lishi up the stands and said in Gao Lishi's ear.

Gao Lishi's eyes turned and saw the crowded crowd yelling with his arms, his heart moved slightly.

If Li Linfu was interested in not seeing him at home, he would ask Li Xiutui to say that it was among these football watchers...

Thinking of this, Gao Lishi sneered in his heart. It was really not easy for tens of thousands of people to find Li Linfu, but he didn't need to find him here.

"Since Mr. Li is watching the game, we don't disturb him and have fun with the people." Gao Lishi smiled and said, "Just go to your house to wait. According to Ye Shi's certain rules, a game will last at most half an hour, and with the intermission, it will not last more than an hour. Now the game is about to end, right?"

Li Xiu laughed with her: "There is still a small half."

"In this way, we will also take a look at the football here. After the game is over, we will go to your mansion to meet Mr. Li."

Gao Lishi is a fence-bearer. Between Li Linfu and Yang Shenjin, he did not want to choose a side to stand. Since Li Longji's order was to see Li Linfu, even if he spent more time and prepared for Li Linfu, he would still see Li Linfu.

At first, he just wanted to watch the football here and let the Li family prepare, but as he watched it, he felt different. He lived a pampering life in recent years, like now, he was among the common people, and he had almost never seen it before. Therefore, after watching the half-court, he felt a little happy. If it weren't for the serious business, he would be even happier.

After the game was over, Li Xiu did not delay and led him to the south gate of the stadium, and then stopped. Gao Lishi said in surprise: "Why can't you stop?"

"If my father comes out, he must go out from here, just wait here--Please, General Gao, please see, my father is there."

Gao Lishi was shocked and suspicious. Could it be that Li Linfu is really watching the football here?

He followed what Li Xiu was looking for, and saw Li Yu and Li Mao walking out of the crowd, one left and one right. They were all dressed in ordinary people. Perhaps because they were too excited just now, Li Linfu was a little tired and sweaty on his forehead, but he was still in good spirits.

When Gao Lishi saw him, he also saw Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi was very self-aware of himself. As a eunuch, even if he was named a general by Li Longji, he was just a servant of the royal family. However, the prime minister was not the case. He was the emperor's guest minister and managed the affairs of the world for the emperor. Therefore, as long as Emperor Li Longji did not show any dissatisfaction with the prime minister, he must remain respectful to the prime minister.

Especially prime ministers like Li Linfu.

The two have had a lot of cooperation and many open and secret struggles, so Gao Lishi has given up his hand from afar.

Li Linfu pushed away the help of his two sons and stood by himself, saluting Gao Lishi.

Then Li Linfu's second son helped him and walked slowly over. He arrived in front of Gao Lishi. Li Linfu smiled and said, "I never thought of meeting Gao Gong here. Do you also love the ball?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Gao Lishi looked at him again when he heard Li Linfu's words.

"Oh, now I'm a little weak in energy. I'll squeeze in the crowd for a while and then I'll be like this." Li Linfu laughed: "In my early years, I was also a player who could play on horseback."

Thinking that so many people were crowded together just now, no matter how old Li Linfu was, he would not be able to sweat under such circumstances, most of the doubts in Gao Lishi's heart were gone.

"This place is not a place to speak. I am here to find Mr. Li. Please ask Mr. Li to go back to his house and talk about it." Gao Lishi said

Li Linfu nodded, then, under the help of his second son, he got on the carriage on the side of the court. Gao Lishi could only follow behind, but fortunately he was not far from Li's mansion, and he returned to Li Linfu's mansion soon.

Hearing Gao Lishi's intention, Li Linfu thanked him, and his second son mixed him up again. Gao Lishi was really puzzled, and the doubt that had just disappeared arises again. He thought for a while and said, "Today, in the palace, someone said that Li Xianggong was a little uncomfortable. Although my husband's spirit is slightly worse than before, he is still healthy... I don't know who made this rumor."
