It was late autumn, and the north wind suddenly picked up a slight chill. Yang Guozhong was walking beside the chariot and sincerely praised Li Longji's martial arts and martial arts. Li Longji pretended to be reserved, but his face was filled with pride.

"Guozhong, you may be sharp-tongued, but you still need to put more thought into government affairs. I will not hesitate to support you, but you can't let me down." Li Longji stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I will be diligent and dedicated, and will never let His Majesty down." Yang Guozhong humbly agreed.

"After the spring begins, I will give you a few more part-time official positions. You must become familiar with the affairs of the court from the three provinces to the temples and departments as soon as possible so that you can take on important responsibilities in the future." Li Longji said solemnly.

Then Li Longji suddenly thought of Li Linfu and asked: "How is Li Linfu's health lately? Does Guozhong know?"

Yang Guozhong looked sad and whispered: "I heard that Mr. Li is seriously ill and is gradually unable to eat. Considering that Mr. Li is already over seventy years old, I'm afraid..."

Li Longji had no expression on his face and gave a faint hum. Then he turned and ordered Gao Lishi next to him: "General Gao, send someone to Prime Minister Li's house in the afternoon and give Li Linfu three century-old ginseng plants, some warming medicine, and golden ten

Two, one hundred pieces of silk..."

Gao Lishi took the order.

After walking in silence for a while, Li Longji suddenly said again: "Let the imperial doctor from the Imperial Medical Office go to Li Linfu's house to have a look. If there are any results, come and report to me immediately."

Gao Lishi was stunned and immediately agreed.

The corner of Yang Guozhong's mouth curled up, and then his expression quickly returned to a sad expression, as if he was mourning that the country was about to lose a pillar.

Li Longji also sighed sadly, his regret was beyond words.

The monarch and his ministers played against each other and were very involved in the performance.

When they were only a few tens of feet away from the Huae Tower, they suddenly heard a crisp click. Li Longji and Yang Guozhong raised their eyes and saw that a dragon flag held high by a guard suddenly broke in the west square in front of the Huale Tower.

The imperial guard still held up the bare half-section of the flagpole with a confused look on his face, while the bright yellow dragon flag, which represented the symbol of the emperor and was embroidered with a golden dragon with teeth and claws, fluttered melodiously to the ground.

Li Longji was shocked. He stood up from the chariot and shouted: "Stop!"

Li Longji got off the chariot, walked to the dragon flag with a gloomy face, leaned over and looked at the dragon flag quietly.

The guard holding the flag was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

Li Longji ignored him, only took the half of the flagpole from his hand, and stared at it for a while.

The flagpole was a bit old and the fracture was irregularly jagged. It was obvious that the flagpole break was just an accident.

But the breaking of the dragon flag was very serious for Li Longji.

Ancient emperors were usually very conflicted about some weird phenomena. Some were superstitious and some were not. But what is certain is that the emperor would definitely be superstitious when faced with some not-so-good weird phenomena. He would think it was a gift from God.

His warning was often related to the rise and fall of the country, and no emperor would turn a blind eye to it.

If the dragon flag suddenly breaks, is it considered a miracle from heaven?

Of course it counts, not only does it count, but it is very serious. The dragon flag represents the emperor himself. If the dragon flag suddenly breaks, does it mean a disaster or an abnormality in the emperor's body?

Li Longji is sixty-five years old. He is already an old man. The older people get, the more afraid they are of death, especially the emperor. He has not had enough good days to rule the world. How can he die? He can obviously still survive.

Live another five hundred years.

Li Longji had a gloomy expression and said nothing, but the eunuchs and eunuchs in the guard of honor were so frightened that they all knelt down. Yang Guozhong also knelt down, his heart beating very fast.

The dragon flag was indeed broken. This Gu Qing... was so courageous. If he missed it, he would kill the Nine Clan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The breaking of the dragon flag was just an accident. Your Majesty, please don't think too much about it. Your Majesty is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period. Our Tang Dynasty has no worries at home or abroad. This is not a celestial phenomenon, it is just an accident." Yang Guozhong knelt on the ground and said hypocritically.

comforted.

Li Longji's eyes were still staring at the broken dragon flag, his eyes sharp and sinister. At this time, he could vaguely see the domineering eyes that once dominated the world.

For a long time, Li Longji came out with a few words coldly: "Call to Qin Tianjian to inquire about good or bad luck."

After saying that, Li Longji walked into the flower calyx building alone with his sleeves rolled up.

Gao Lishi stood up and called the officials of Qin Tianjian anxiously. There were all the eunuchs kneeling in front of the flower calyx building, but they still didn't dare to get up. Yang Guozhong also knelt on the ground and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was like this

He was scared. What scared him was not the broken dragon flag, but Gu Qing's audacity.

"This kid... is a ruthless character." Yang Guozhong said to himself.

Officials from the Qintian Prison hurried over soon. At this time, Li Longji and Yang Guozhong were sitting in the flower calyx building. The officials from the Qintian Prison entered the building, and after bowing their hands, they stood respectfully, glanced slightly, and quickly looked at Yang Guozhong.
