I have been the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for 19 years. People in the world say that I, Li Linfu, is a traitorous prime minister. But they don't know that under my governance, the power of the Tang Dynasty has gradually grown, and people from all over the world have conquered it. Before my death, An Lushan was always trembling with fear and did not dare to have the slightest hint of rebellion. They only saw me eradicating dissidents and exerting power over the government and the opposition, but they could not see my painstaking efforts to balance the court and stabilize the borders. Those Qingliu scholars scolded me for speaking sweetly and using swords, but without thunderous means, how could I suppress the arrogant and powerful generals and balance the forces of all parties? The afterglow of the prosperous Kaiyuan era is supported by me alone and has been able to last for nineteen years. I don't care about the infamy rolling down my back - in this prosperous and stable world, I bear the infamy, but they enjoy the benefits.
