Speaking of it, Li Linfu had little personal relationship with both Zhang Shougui and An Lushan.

At first, when he received friendly letters from both of them, Li Linfu refused.

But he couldn't resist the fact that they offered too much.

Moreover, Zhang Shougui was cunning, while An Lushan was reckless.

The two of them occupied Youying and Bingzhou, colluding and conspiring, clearly aiming to overthrow the current dynasty.

Li Linfu always prided himself on being able to see the current situation. At first, even though he didn't agree, he didn't outright refuse, leaving room for both parties.

"Your Majesty is unkind, so we naturally have to find another way."

Everyone present was his confidants, so he naturally had nothing to hide.

"Gentlemen, are you willing to join me?"

Everyone present immediately gasped, although most of them were young and hadn't experienced the political turmoil of the previous dynasty, they were officials and knew a lot about the internal situation. Even if they hadn't experienced it personally, they understood the dangers involved.

Now, whenever Li Linfu opened his mouth, it was earth-shattering. These people didn't dare to casually agree.

The study room fell into silence.

Li Linfu was not in a hurry. He sat steadily, not looking at the people in the room. Instead, he casually picked up his tea and took a sip.

"Prime Minister Li, about this matter... do you have confidence?"

Someone asked.

Li Linfu chuckled, "Whether I have confidence or not, what does it matter? Do you all still want to sit and wait for death?"

As he spoke, he put down the hot tea in his hand. As his gaze shifted several times, it became even more profound.

"His Majesty is no longer reliable. We must find a way out for ourselves."

There was no choice, and the possibility of losing one's head was imminent.

Everyone present was afraid of death. When they heard his words, they were still worried, but they didn't dare to risk their lives.

After a moment of silence,

someone forcefully slammed the tea cup on the table and said firmly:

"Let's fight!"

One person took the lead, and the rest naturally followed.

In the end, there were a total of seven people present, and they all agreed to Li Linfu's "invitation".

Li Linfu showed a satisfied smile and immediately wrote a reply to Zhang Shougui and An Lushan, asking all the people present to sign their names on it.

After sending the letter, Li Linfu raised his tea cup once again.

"Today, I will toast my colleagues with tea instead of wine, and I wish all of us success and prosperity in the future."

Everyone raised their cups in unison.

At midnight.

Madness and anxiety pervaded the study room.
