Chapter 216: The Son of Heaven remembers the old friendship

In Xingqing Palace, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, was restless, as if he was waiting for something. After a while, someone finally entered the hall gently, and it was the chamberlain in the palace.

"Sage, the people sent have found nothing, General Gao, he, he ......"

The waiter's voice became smaller and smaller, but Li Longji asked impatiently: "Say, what happened to Gao Lishi?"

"General Gao, he's gone!"

After Li Longji heard this, the whole person staggered back two steps and almost fell back on the couch.

"How did you disappear? I was arrested by the prince, or was it ......?"

"Slave maid, slave maid doesn't know, according to the house slave in the general's mansion, the general does not say goodbye until nightfall, until the curfew begins, and there is no news!"

Until the words "no news" came out of the mouth of the waiter, Li Longji couldn't hold back anymore and sat down on the couch.

Where is Colliers? Could it be that even the most trusted person has turned his back on him?

A huge sense of frustration and loss surged up in an instant, like a flood that burst the embankment, completely destroying Li Longji's psychological defense. At this moment, he completely understood that he had reached the point where the tree had fallen and scattered, and there was no one willing to rely on his big tree to accompany him to death.

"Why are you still here? Why don't you leave? All go, all go!"

Suddenly, Li Longji broke out, hysterical, and reprimanded the innocent eunuchs around him without any scruples.

A group of eunuchs had never seen the Son of Heaven so angry in disregard of his majesty, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground one after another, and kept saying, "Slaves and maids are guilty of capital crimes, slaves and maids are guilty of capital crimes......

After venting for a while, Li Longji struggled to get up from the couch steeply, but after two strokes, he couldn't get up. And the eunuchs who were kneeling in front of them all cried for mercy, but everyone came up to help them.

Li Longji couldn't help but feel sad, but he wanted to cry without tears, all he felt was the cold to the bones!

Under the grief, Li Longji was not as angry as before, and gradually calmed down. He finally got out of his couch and staggered to the door of the temple.

If in the past, there were already eunuchs who opened the palace door, and the stars of the palace were waiting before and after, and everyone was afraid that they would be slow, and they were all vying to leave a good impression in front of him, in order to be able to rise to the top. But at this moment, those scenes are no longer seen, and the eunuchs are all afraid of him like hiding from the flood beast, instinctively keeping a distance from him.

This huge psychological gap is undoubtedly a huge humiliation and torture for Li Longji, who is sensitive and suspicious by nature.

He stretched out his thin hand, and with a gentle pull, the well-maintained door of the temple opened.

The cold air outside poured in, which made Li Longji feel a little more comfortable. He has read Chen Xuanli's proclamation more than once, although it is mixed with strong selfishness, but in all fairness, there is no lack of truth.

The old Son of Heaven glanced at the deep night sky, perhaps the dark clouds obscured the stars and the moon, and there was not a trace of light as far as the eye could see.

"Saint, saint, it's cold at night, don't blow your body. ”

One of the chamberlains actually took a collar and draped it over his shoulders.

This is just an ordinary scene, however, Li Longji's body trembled, and when he looked back, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old semi-eunuch, waiting for a pair of black eyes, looking at him.

is a handsome young man, if he hadn't entered the palace and became a eunuch, after he was crowned an adult, he was afraid that he would have a dignified appearance.

Li Longji inexplicably had some unrelated thoughts in his heart.

"What's your name?"

Li Longji had a good impression of this young eunuch, and when everyone avoided him, this sense was greatly strengthened.

"The slave and maid have no name, and everyone is called the slave and maid Yu Si. ”

"Only ranking?" Li Longji seemed to have a conversation with him, and seemed to be talking to himself, "How can you become a big name without a big name?" Why don't you call Yu Zhongsi in the future!"

"Really?"

The young eunuch seemed incredulous, and asked stupidly.

"How could what I said not be true?"

The young eunuch was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank the Saint for His Name......."

Then he quickly got up, his face full of happiness and joy, as if the mutiny outside the palace tonight had no effect on him. After all, the young man is a young man, and he is so happy that he dances in front of the Son of Heaven, if it is any more usual, this Yu Si will definitely be dragged out by Li Longji's cronies and eunuchs to make rules. But now, the building is about to fall, the trees are falling and scattered, who still has the heart to show his face in front of this soon-to-be-finished emperor?

Li Longji's mood seemed to be affected by this young eunuch, and a smile appeared on the old man's face.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered his fake son Wang Zhonghei.

Wang Zhongji was only nine years old when he entered the palace, and his father, Wang Haibin, was killed in Songzhou in a battle with Tibet. Li Longji also likes and values this fake son very much, and after Wang Zhongji grew up, he really lived up to his high expectations, and defeated the Turks and Tubo people all over the world, and the officials went to Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, and Hedong to make envoys.

However, the greater the credit of the fake son, the more Li Longji dislikes him, and he is even full of jealousy and suspicion towards him.

Because he touched Li Longji's sensitive nerves a little, Wang Zhongji has been friendly with the crown prince Li Heng since he was a child, and more than one person in the court accused him of wanting to serve the prince.

The false son of the old son of heaven, Wang Zhonghei's fate can be imagined, under the bitter pleading of his subordinate general Ge Shuhan, he was finally spared death, demoted to Hanyang Taishou, and died of depression after more than a year.

After the person died, Li Longji remembered his good again, especially at such a desperate moment, if Wang Zhonghei was still alive, how could those ghosts and ghosts do anything wrong?

But it's too late to say anything now. However, even if Li Longji is given another chance to choose, maybe he will still kill Wang Zhongji without hesitation, no one can still live in the world for his throne, let alone a fake son, even if it is a parent.

But people are not cold stones after all, Li Longji is also a flesh-and-blood person, after experiencing the ups and downs of his heart, his coldness seems to be melting.

And the young man in front of him reminded Li Longji of the fake children raised by himself, but not those parents and children from his blood.

Finally, Li Longji was in tears, there was no father and son in the heavenly family, he had lived for more than 70 years, and he had been an emperor for more than 40 years, and he had never been depressed and sad at this moment.

As the son of the Tang Dynasty, he is rich all over the world, and it seems that no one in the world can match it, but who knows the unspeakable taste?

Since then, although Li Longji is an imperial family, he has been living in fear all day long, for fear that one day when an edict from the Great Sage Emperor comes down, they will be exiled with their families, or their families will be ruined.

In fact, Li Longji's mother was mutilated to death when he was young, and he never enjoyed a moment of parental warmth, and since he can remember, he has been surrounded by killings and intrigues.

Therefore, this rich son of heaven must take strict precautions against all his relatives, even parents and children, for fear that the slightest negligence will fall into a situation from which he will never recover, and follow in the footsteps of his fathers and ancestors.

If it weren't for An Lushan's rebellion, perhaps Li Longji's career as emperor would have ended brilliantly in this kind of repetition day after day, but this was already a luxury for him. Perhaps after dawn, he will end in an even worse way than his father.

Even if Gao Xianzhi and his men can hold Xingqing Palace for a month and a half, but the entire Chang'an City is in the hands of the prince, as long as they trap the palace to death, then he will be the second King of Zhao Wuling.

After the despair reached the extreme, Li Longji's mood was as calm as water.

He chatted with the young eunuch with great interest.

"Where is the ancestral home, and who else is in the family?"

The young eunuch had not yet recovered from the excitement of the Son of Heaven's name, and replied in a somewhat high-pitched voice: "The slave maid has been in the palace since he can remember, and I don't know who my parents are, and I don't know where my ancestors are, maybe, maybe the slave's parents have long been dead......

Watching the young eunuchs chattering, Li Longji knew very well in his heart that eunuchs like Yu Zhonghe, who had grown up in the palace since childhood, usually only had two sources, either the sons of prisoners or young children of prisoners of war.

In Li Longji's view, this young man is also a real hard-working person, but the young eunuch does not feel bitter, but because he has received the name of the Son of Heaven, he is so happy that he seems to laugh for a few days and nights.

"Yu Zhonghei, from today on, you will follow me, and you will never leave me. ”

The young eunuch couldn't believe it, and asked again, "Really?"

It was the first time Li Longji had seen such an unruly chamberlain, and he didn't know which careless chamberlain sent him to the palace.

However, at this moment, the expression of this true temperament was very angry with Li Longji's temper, not only did not think it was angry, but said patiently: "The mouth of the Son of Heaven is never false! From today on, you will be the young eunuch of the Inner Palace." ”

The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty also had grades, and the young eunuchs of the inner government were the fourth grades, which was a step to the sky for the young eunuchs, who were of the fifth grade.

Seeing him happily thanking him again, Li Longji felt a trace of regret in his heart.

Let this boy rejoice for a moment, maybe when the sun rises, everything will be a flash in the pan for him.

"Go, prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I have a book to send!"

The young eunuch Yu Zhonghei went to prepare at the request of Nuo Mali, and after a while, Li Longji sat behind the imperial case, picked up the pen and hesitated again and again, and finally fell down heavily, and a book could be written.
