Chapter 144: When the Surprise Happens

When Gao Lishi raised his head to look at the Son of Heaven, he found that the Son of Heaven's body was shaking violently, and he found a long-lost fear in the Son of Heaven's scattered gaze.

The last time Colliers discovered fear in Li Longji's eyes, he had not yet ascended the throne, and the crisis of the palace change was everywhere, and that sense of precarious fear could even completely collapse a person who was not very strong-willed.

Now, Gao Lishi once again saw this fear in Li Longji's eyes, and the gray-haired old slave was also terrified. You must know that Li Longji has been a Taiping emperor for more than 40 years, and his self-confidence and experience are no longer comparable to the king of Linzi back then, so what can make him so out of shape?

The answer lies in this secret report in his hand, Ge Shuhan led an army of 200,000 entrenched in Tongguan, and the Tang army led by him was almost the last elite force of the Tang Dynasty, and the elite soldiers of Longyou were Ge Shuhan's old troops were also among them, and they were the backbone. If Ge Shuhan raised his arms and shouted, would he know that his old department would not gather Jingcong?

"Saint, saint and rest assured, this, this may be a ...... chasing after the wind"

Li Longji trusted Gao Lishi, but he was afraid that his own son would not be enough, so he sighed.

"I also hope to chase after the wind. However, just before you came, Yang Guozhong also ran to me to cry, and the content of the cry was the same as this secret report, could it be such a coincidence?"

Gao Lishi was speechless, and didn't know how to respond, so he could only lie helplessly on the ground and beg him to take care of the dragon's body.

"As soon as the knot in my heart is untied, the dragon body will naturally take care, and your body will be better. ”

Gao Lishi has been plagued by the wind and low fever these days, and he has not recovered until now, and he has not come to the forbidden place to serve, and he is also afraid that the bad luck of the sick body will be passed on to the Son of Heaven, and when he heard Li Longji ask, he couldn't help but be moved to tears.

"The saint is still thinking about the slave and maid, and it is difficult for the slave and the maid to repay for their death, and the body is no longer in serious trouble, but it is a little weak and unable to make it stronger. ”

"It's okay, I have a very important secret matter that I need you to do, and I can only trust you in this matter!"

Gao Lishi held his breath and quietly waited for Li Longji to order the most important secret matter.

Early the next morning, the battle situation in Hebei Province reached Chang'an City without warning.

Changshan Taishou Yan Gaoqing was defeated and killed, and the head has been hung at the head of Luoyang City, and the fifteen counties of Hebei Province, which were boiling for a while, have been completely annihilated.

Suddenly, the government and the opposition shook up and down.

The defeat of the imperial court in Hebei Province will mean that the back road of the thieves against Hu will gradually recover, and once the back road of the thieves is lifted, then it is foreseeable that the rebels will once again launch an attack on Tongguan.

As a result, from Hebei Province to the contrary, the Kunshan fire burned up tens of thousands of Cui Qianyou's troops, and even Cui Qianyou himself became a prisoner.

Although Qin Jin had been prepared in his heart for a long time, he was still so shocked when he heard the bad news that he didn't say a word for a long time. After calming down, he just wanted to know what the imperial court and the Son of Heaven thought.

Now that the situation in Hebei Province has become irreversible, what should we do next?

However, at this time, the court was like a huge and clumsy machine, everyone could hear the howling and panting, but the officials were only concerned about the panic all day long, and would rather be worried about it day by day, and no one could make decent suggestions.

Wei Fangjin was the prime minister of the political affairs hall, and Qin Jin specially visited this person again for this reason. Unexpectedly, after seeing Qin Jin, this old guy actually grabbed him and asked him, but there was a way to deal with it.

Although Qin Jin was born as a Jinshi, the places where he left an impression were all in military affairs, so in the eyes of Wei Fangjin, Qin Jin was already one of the few people in the court who knew the soldiers.

From Wei Fangjin's attitude alone, Qin Jin can also deduce one or two, presumably the political affairs hall has no plan to deal with the changes in the situation in Hebei Province at all, and this kind of outrageous behavior of corpse vegetarian meals is really unacceptable. If the imperial court continues like this, won't it follow the old path of the previous life?

The shocking news was not the only one, just when everyone was immersed in the defeat of Hebei Province and couldn't extricate themselves, an edict from the Son of Heaven made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military suddenly shake.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict, with Gao Xianzhi leading the Pinglu Festival envoy, and adding the same three titles under the Chinese book.

At this time, in Chang'an City, who didn't know that the Son of Heaven had planned to punish Gao Xianzhi, and even his mansion in Yongningfang had been raided, and all the men, women, and children in the mansion had been imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion.

According to the convention, this is a typical sign before the big crime, Gao Xianzhi's fate has been determined, the lightest is the dereliction of duty, and the family members are all exiled thousands of miles away in Lingnan, and they will never return to the north. The worst case is the rebellion of the Zhu clan, the men of the family, both young and old, are beheaded, and the wives and daughters are slaves and maids of the Xun family.

However, the Son of Heaven always acted so unexpectedly, and an edict lifted Gao Xianzhi from the outcast of fate to the position of the prime minister.

Zhongshu Men is the de facto prime minister, and let Gao Xianzhi also lead the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, which has a strong symbolic meaning, and will be in charge of the army to crusade against Pinglu, which An Lushan stole from.

Gao Xianzhi is known as a constant victory, and has the merit of destroying the country. The Son of Heaven reactivated and reused this person with a force beyond mortals, and the originally panicked and restless hearts gradually stabilized again.

In the current political hall, in addition to Ge Shuhan, who is leading the troops, there are already three prime ministers, Zhongshu Ling Wei Jiansu, and Wei Fangjin, who is a servant under the door, compared to only Gao Xianzhi's own official is somewhat inferior, and he is still the original imperial doctor.

The officials of the DPRK and China also secretly speculated, "This may be intentional by the Son of Heaven, after all, the Son of Heaven gave birth to Gao Xianzhi and gave him the name of prime minister, but did not give him a relatively equal official, in order to prevent him from time and space." ”

"It shouldn't be said that the Son of Heaven is a great talent that is difficult to come out of a hundred years, how can we ordinary people like us speculate? Look at it, the great action of the Son of Heaven will not stop here!"

The officials who gathered in private laughed at the official, who knew all the nonsense he spoke.

"It is difficult to speculate on the heart of the Son of Heaven, why is it so sworn and conclusive speculation, isn't it a shield to attack oneself with the spear of the Son?"

After speaking, everyone laughed again.

The official who was ridiculed was not angry, but only smiled lightly: "You love to believe it or not, you will know at first sight!"

Compared with the peace of mind and relaxation of the officials of the outer court, there is a person in the inner court who is eager to smash everything in front of him, and the little eunuch standing beside him has become this person's angry thing.

Whenever he bumped into it, he would be scolded with his head and face, and the heavy responsibility would be handed over to the court to do hard labor.

This person is the prison gate general Bian Lingcheng, among Bian Lingcheng's many godsons, Jingyou is lucky, he only received a scolding, and because the time on duty came, he escaped from the sea of suffering.

Bian Lingcheng had such an attack, and there was a reason for it, and the means he had carefully planned were completely useless because of an edict from the Son of Heaven. saw that it was about to happen, but there was an accident at this critical juncture.

However, Bian Lingcheng was not reconciled. He knew the Son of Heaven's intention to reactivate Gao Xianzhi, but this did not mean that the Son of Heaven would unconditionally trust and connive at it.

Previously, the secret letter that arranged for Jing You to secretly put in Gao Xianzhi's mansion should be useful. He specially ordered someone to investigate, and the things confiscated by the Gao Mansion were now temporarily detained in Yu Linwei, and it was calculated at that time that if Gao Xianzhi was punished, half of these belongings would be used as Yu Linwei's military salary.

Now that Gao Xianzhi has been reused, and even ranked among the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, naturally no one dares to make up his mind about these items.

Of course, except for one person, that is Bian Lingcheng. Bian Lingcheng led several chamberlains, accompanied by a Yulin Guard, and searched through the Gaofu items for a whole afternoon before he found the silk book sealed with fire paint.

Holding the silk book, Bian Lingcheng smiled: "I found it, it's this thing." ”

Yulin Guard Brigade Leader wondered, "Why does this thing make the general so happy?"

Bian Lingcheng looked sideways at the brigade and said, "This is evidence of a crime, go, go with Bian Mou!"

……

In the hall of Daming Palace, the Son of Heaven is entertaining Gao Xianzhi with tea.

"Gao Qing has been wronged!"

Gao Xianzhi was covered with wind and frost, which was incompatible with the graceful and gorgeous palace. I saw him reply:

"The heart of the minister's fist can be expressed by the sun and the moon, but it is a crime to abandon the land of the defeated army, and there is no grievance in prison!"

"Sage, General Bian begs to see!" a chamberlain eunuch suddenly entered the hall.

The Son of Heaven was not very satisfied with Bian Lingcheng's recent performance, so he said, "Let him come back tomorrow!"

The eunuch hesitated and did not leave, and Li Longji reproached dissatisfiedly: "Go down!

"Sage, General Bian has 100,000 urgent things to do. ”

Seeing this, Li Longji had no choice but to order the eunuch to bring Bian Lingcheng in.

After Bian Lingcheng entered the palace, he was shocked with a word.

"The slave has evidence that Gao Xianzhi colluded with the thief to rebel against Hu, and the saint must not be deceived by this Gao Li slave's coy behavior!"

In this regard, Li Longji was taken aback, he never expected Bian Lingcheng to have such a move. If it is said that Gao Xianzhi and An Lushan colluded, to be honest, Li Longji did not believe it. These border generals are handsome, all of them are talented, but they are proud of no one. It is already an open secret of the DPRK and China that several major festivals are secretly competing, and no one looks down on anyone.

Accusing Gao Xianzhi of colluding with An Lushan is as ridiculous as accusing Ge Shuhan of colluding with An Lushan.

Li Longji only suspected that Gao Xianzhi was self-respecting, and his prejudice against the Goryeo people played a more or less role. The decision to reactivate Gao Xianzhi also shows from another side that he does not suspect that Gao Xianzhi is suspected of colluding with An Lushan.

Now Bian Lingcheng suddenly jumped out and accused Gao Xianzhi of colluding with An Lushan, what kind of trouble is this?

Li Longji stared at Bian Lingcheng coldly and asked:

"Where's the evidence?"
