"Saint, the night is cold, don't be soaked in the cold......"

I don't know when, Gao Lishi was already standing behind him, and Li Longji suddenly realized that he came to the door of the hall barefoot at some point, looking at the outside of the black hole and was stunned.

"I'm fine......"

Another heavy, long sigh, which seemed to have become the habit of the aging emperor since the end of last year. Li Longji's throat grunted twice, and he wanted to say something but was choked up, and asked in a low voice for a long time:

"Your body is a lot better, you must take care of it, you must not walk in front of me, do you hear?"

The voice of the voice was slightly trembling, which made Gao Lishi's shoulders twitch involuntarily, and the muddy old tears gushed down.

"Saint...... Long live the saints, old slaves, old slaves......"

He wanted to say how he could walk in front of the Son of Heaven, but his emotions were so excited that he couldn't cry for a while.

Obviously, there is good news from Tongguan and Hedong City, and the two old men who are one master and one servant are so sad.

In fact, this is also a vent after long-term suppression of emotions, and the good news of Tongguan has eased Li Longji, who has been nervous, a little, and it is not surprising that his emotions are a little out of control.

Moreover, Gaolis, who originally seemed to be terminally ill, miraculously improved, not only able to walk on the ground, but even to deal with some simple affairs in the palace.

The loss of this loyal old servant is something Li Longji has always been unwilling to face, and now he sees that Gao Lishi's fragmented body that has been delayed for more than half a year is gradually healing, and his mood is also improving.

"Long live the ages, those are the words of the courtiers to fool me, although I am old, I am not confused, from ancient times to the Son of Heaven, down to the pawns of the peddlers, no one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, I have seized the throne in the prime of life, and I have been in the world for more than 40 years, there is such a lifespan, and the people who can be compared with it for thousands of years, I am afraid that it will be counted on one hand......"

As he spoke, Li Longji stretched out his right hand and gestured in front of Gao Lishi, then lowered his tone and continued:

"Contentment is always happy, I am very content, now there is only one wish, as long as I can put down the rebellion of the Quartet, even if I go to see the ancestors and ancestors immediately, it is enough to blind my eyes......"

Gao Lishi was greatly moved, he had served Li Longji for nearly 50 years, and today was the first time that such a discouraged word had been uttered from this son of heaven, who boasted that his martial arts were second only to Taizong.

"The saint has the protection of the mandate of heaven, the thief is just a clown who jumps off the beam, Gao Xianggong won a great victory in Tongguan a few days ago, and he may be able to go out of Tongguan next month and recover the eastern capital......"

In fact, what he said was to comfort Li Longji, saying that he would be able to recover the Eastern Capital next month, and even Gao Lishi himself did not believe it.

Li Longji's expression revealed a bit of a wry smile.

"You don't need to comfort me, it's already a blessing to be able to recover the Eastern Capital within a year. ”

Gao Lishi was speechless, he had no unique views on military affairs, and he said some nice things just to make Li Longji happy, and as for how the situation of the war would develop, he could only rely on the people in the court who knew the soldiers to make a decision. He has this advantage, he never rushes to interfere in matters that he can't reach, and he is extremely sophisticated, which is also one of the reasons why he has been able to stand in the Tang Palace for more than 40 years.

However, Li Longji changed his words.

"Worm Niang is sixteen this year, and the eldest princess of Huo Guo mentioned her marriage to me before......"

Hearing Li Longji suddenly mention the insect girl, Gao Lishi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, the eldest princess of Huo Guo once came to the palace to be a matchmaker for the insect girl, he knew it, but the candidate for the horse was obviously not suitable after the mutiny, but what does the Son of Heaven mean by bringing up the old matter again at this moment?

Gao Lishi was not sure what Li Longji was thinking, so he asked tentatively:

"Does the saint have a person of choice?"

Li Longji's face was as usual, and he lightly spit out two words:

"Qin Jin ......."

Then, he ignored Gao Lishi's shock, and said to himself: "I thought about it for a while, maybe it's a good choice to entrust the insect girl to this person......

Worm Niang is the daughter born to Li Longji and Hu Nu in the Western Regions, and her status in the palace is not high, and even now there is no decent title, and she has always been called the milk name Worm Niang. It's just because Li Longji is old and has a daughter, and taking such an innocent daughter with him can always easily relieve his various boredoms, so although the insect girl is not very favored, she is well taken care of......

All in all, Gao Lishi loves and takes care of this princess who has not yet been named, and now he hears that Li Longji is going to marry her to Qin Jin, and a trace of gloom fills his brows. However, what could he say? The daughter of the royal family did not have the right to choose freely, and if the situation required it, let alone marrying Qin Jin, even if she was marrying the snow-capped mountains and grasslands of the Western Regions, she could not say a word.

Obviously, Li Longji's intention to marry the insect girl to Qin Jin was not just out of appreciation for Qin Jin, or how much of that little appreciation would be left until now, it was difficult to say.

Seeing that Gao Lishi was silent, Li Longji turned his head and glanced at him.

"Why don't you speak? There are not many people who can rely on the soldiers now, do you want to count on people like Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen?"

Li Longji rarely lost his words, but what he blurted out was indeed sincere. In the final analysis, he used Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen to consolidate power, and if he really wanted to fight to restore the rivers and mountains, he also had to rely on talented people such as Gao Xianzhi and Qin Jin.

Li Longji has always boasted that he has read countless people, and there are no courtiers he can't control, from Ge Shuhan to Gao Xianzhi, such a veteran of destroying the country, which one is not him rubbing and kneading. If it weren't for An Lushan's rebellion, I'm afraid this kind of self-confidence would have continued. However, it was Qin Jin who really sank his confidence to the bottom.

seems to be an ordinary young man, Li Longji can't see through what this person wants. In the past, it was necessary to see through the needs of the courtiers before they could prescribe the right medicine, some people sought wealth, some people sought fame, and some people sought profit. For these people, he can use them freely according to his talents.

However, this Qin Jin alone always seems to act unexpectedly, at first Li Longji felt that this human being was loyal to the prime minister, but later this person personally overturned this impression, but if this person seeks fame and fortune or is ambitious, he is often restrained and does not use unscrupulous means.

Since Qin and Jin were released, Li Longji has clearly realized that in this chaotic situation, it is better to suppress than to encompass. As long as the world is calm and all the initiative is returned to the Tang court, it is natural to free up his hands to deal with courtiers with different aspirations. But now is far from the right time.

It was precisely because Gao Lishi saw through Li Longji's thoughts that he had a trace of pity and sympathy for the future of that innocent girl. There is no doubt that after the world is settled, the first thing Li Longji wants to clean up must be Qin Jin. In the final analysis, Li Longji, out of various considerations, still has to push the insect girl into the fire pit with one hand.

In fact, it was also Gaolishi who watched the insect girl grow up every day, and he felt pity for her. Royal women should have made sacrifices when needed, from the former Han Dynasty to the present more than a thousand years, is this not the case, how can the insect girl be an exception?

Li Longji can say it now, and it is obvious that he has already made a decision. Colliers is the best at figuring out the mind of the Son of Heaven, and knowing that this matter cannot be changed, he will naturally not waste his lips and tongues needlessly.

"This matter must be handled by the eldest princess of Huo Guo, and the eldest princess will be summoned into the palace early tomorrow morning, and I will personally ...... it."

Between the chatter, Li Longji leaned on the soft couch and snored softly.

Li Longji felt little, and it was extremely rare to be able to fall asleep, and when Gao Lishi saw this, he hurriedly covered his body lightly with the brocade quilt, and quietly retreated without a sound.

……

The next day, Yang Guozhong was summoned into the palace, and suddenly found the carriage and horse of Princess Huo Guochang outside the Xingqing Palace, and couldn't help but be very strange. The eldest princess of Huo has always been low-key, has no desire to interfere in politics, and rarely asks to see her brother of a mother, Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, for private matters. As long as she enters the palace to meet her, there must be something big.

But what big deal can the eldest princess of Huo Guo have? Yang Guozhong was puzzled, seeing the fat eldest princess hugging her out of the palace gate in front of the palace people, he only shook his head slightly, what can this old woman do, maybe it is for her unsuccessful son to intercede.

Pei Jizhi, the only son of the eldest princess of Huo Guo, is a typical eat, drink and merry person in Chang'an City, who does not learn and has no skills, and will always cause some trouble at the two ends in three days, if it were not for the eldest princess to protect his neck with both hands from time to time, I am afraid that he would have died dozens of times.

Yang Guozhong could easily foresee that the eldest princess of Huo Guochang was also old, and if she died one day, it would be the day Pei Ji's end.

It's just that this kind of rumors in Beijing is just a matter of thinking about it, and what really gives Yang Guozhong a headache is how to return to the position of Zhongshuling. Although he is also the deputy prime minister's errand now, the same three products under the Zhongshu Sect are not the head of the prime minister after all......

"Yang Xianggong, please enter the palace with the slave maid, the sage has already asked several times......"

Yang Guozhong reined in his mind and followed the Yellow Gate into the palace to meet the Tang Emperor.

"Yang Qing, after Tongguan reported the victory, how should the imperial court respond, whether to continue to hold on, or take the initiative to send troops, do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing the Son of Heaven ask, Yang Guozhong's heart pounded, since he asked so, then he must have the idea of fighting back, at this time, if he didn't follow the Son of Heaven's will, it would definitely not work, but if he followed the Son of Heaven's will, how easy would it be to send troops to fight back? It is naturally good, and someone must stand up and be responsible.

Yang Guozhong didn't want to offend the Son of Heaven, but he didn't want to carry the black pot.

After having a plan, Yang Guozhong said:

"The minister thought that he should first consult Gao Xianggong, who had just won a battle in Tongguan and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and should have the clearest and most detailed understanding of the overall situation. ”

After hearing this, the Tang Tianzi nodded in approval.
