Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Inconspicuous Colliers (Two in One)

What Wang Maozhong said was not ordinary arrogance, but also pointed.

Li Longji employs nepotism.

In addition to Gao Lishi, Pei Min, Wang Ju, Wang Maozhong, Jiang Jiao, Li Lingwen, Wang Shouyi, Li Shoude and other old people, the people closest to him are naturally eunuchs.

For some reason, Li Longji was in power, and the power of the eunuch was great.

In addition to Gao Lishi, there are also Yang Siqiao, Li Jingren, Lin Zhaoyin, Yin Fengxiang and others.

Yang Siqiao held the festival crusade, Li Jingren and Lin Zhaoyin were ordered to send envoys to announce the communication, and Yin Fengxiang was in charge of the academy. The rest of Sun Liu, Yang Ba, Niu Xiantong, Liu Fengting, Wang Chengen, Zhang Daobin, Li Dayi and others, such as the head of the palace, the supervising army, the entry into Tibet, the teaching workshop, and the meritorious master, are all appointed to important positions.

For these eunuchs and servants, it is slightly called Li Longji's intention, that is, to confer the three grades of generals.

However, Li Longji is still in control of this degree, and the status of the inner servant is only limited to the third grade.

Even Gao Lishi is also the right guard general of Sanpin.

From Wang Maozhong's tone, I can completely hear the contempt for Gao Lishi, which is simply saying, my son is a leader and a real man, you Gao Lishi is a man who is not a man, why is his status higher than my son.

It turned out that the civil and military officials who participated in the banquet were shocked by Wang Maozhong's words.

Wang Maozhong despised eunuchs and eunuchs, and everyone knew it.

But they really couldn't imagine that Wang Maozhong would humiliate Li Longji's most favored Gao Lishi in front of everyone.

They looked at each other one by one, and suddenly regretted in their hearts, why did they come to this banquet.

Gao Lishi didn't seem to hear the sound outside the strings, and still smiled kindly: "Ling Lang is less than a month, thinking that he is a five-rank rank, and he is a unicorn born in nature. Compared with a certain person, he was wronged by Ling Lang. This civil and martial arts star descended to earth, and it may not be necessary to become the second Pei Guogong. ”

Gao Lishi's answer made the civil and military who participated in the banquet couldn't help but praise it in their hearts.

Eunuchs have not been liked by the public throughout the ages, but Gao Lishi is gentle and humble, looks up when he is good, and holds great power, but he is not arrogant at all, even if the harsh scholars have no ill feelings towards him.

Wang Maozhong's arrogance is even more knowledgeable at this moment.

This is praised as Pei Guogong's second, and it is also a very heavy praise.

Pei Min is twenty-eight nine this year, Wen Cheng is a martial artist, and he is an indispensable Optimus Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of Wenzong, and he has great prestige in the court scholars.

Figures like him, even if you look at history, are very few.

Just like Huo Quzhi and Zhuge Liang in history, they are very legendary.

Words of praise.

But when he heard Wang Maozhong, he felt harsh in his ears.

Wang Maozhong had a deep grudge against Pei Min, and he left a long-cherished grudge when he robbed him of his temperance.

Later, Pei Min openly accused him of corrupting military discipline in front of Li Longji, and removed his most powerful assistant Gao Guangji, which made his strength in the army frustrated and his hatred deepened.

Pei Min's second is a great compliment to others, but in Wang Maozhong's eyes, it is humiliating.

Gao Lishi's concession made Wang Maozhong even more unscrupulous, and said arrogantly: "My son will not allow you, a eunuch, to be noisy in the future, and thank Your Majesty for going back for me." ”

People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

This is not true at all, Wang Maozhong hates Pei Min, but he doesn't dare to speak ill of Pei Min openly.

Colliers retreated everywhere, in exchange for only an inch.

Gao Lishi came from afar, Wang Maozhong sneered, but did not have a word of good words, not to mention wine, he didn't have to sit, and he drove people away.

Colliers didn't care about it either, and said goodbye and left.

Wang Maozhong smiled contemptuously, teased the child in his arms, and continued to greet the guests to play.

A few sensitive officials are already planning to sneak away.

Pei Guogong's Mansion!

Wang Maozhong has today's wedding banquet, all of which were designed by Pei Min.

Deal with everything in the palace, pay special attention.

After learning what Wang Maozhong had done, Pei Min couldn't help but laugh and said, "This guy and I have too much tacit understanding!" ”

Although he knew that Wang Maozhong's temperament would explode at a moment's notice, he couldn't imagine that Wang Maozhong would be so unscrupulous, and he didn't even need to brew emotions.

Sun Zhou sighed and said: "It is also a high servant who is generous, if it were me, I would be so humiliated, and I would definitely make this banquet surnamed Wang unable to continue." ”

Pei Min listened, smiled, and said: "There is an ancient hero in my hometown, he said a sentence 'There are three kinds of people on the rivers and lakes that cannot be provoked: monks, women, and children', I add a sentence, I would rather provoke them all than provoke the eunuchs." Gao Nei is not generous, he is the same as me. No, even more ruthless than me. I just wanted to pull Wang Maozhong off the horse, and he ...... It's to want Wang Maozhong to die! ”

Pei Min has crossed paths with Gao Lishi many times, and he knows that Gao Lishi is a good person and a character.

is humble and open-minded, low-key and self-sufficient, not as disgusting as those villains and eunuchs in later movies and television.

But it would be a mistake to think that he was friendly and deceitful.

Is it easy for a person who makes Yu Wenrong, Li Linfu, Li Shizhi, Gai Jiayun, Wei Jian, Yang Shenjin, Wang Jie, Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, An Sishun, Gao Xianzhi and others work hard to be the first to be attached?

Gao Lishi can make a big fuss, with his current power, he can make Wang Maozhong very uncomfortable.

But no matter how much they make a fuss, it's two dogs biting.

At best, it is a Tibetan mastiff with strong combat effectiveness.

The results were all mediated by Li Longji.

Li Longji intervened in mediation, what can Gao Lishi do?

But Colliers has suffered all the grievances and humiliation today, and he has not said a word or a word.

How could Li Longji sit idly by and watch his favorite person suffer such humiliation?

Li Longji personally was ashamed of Gao Lishi, and he had a big trouble with Gao Lishi himself, it goes without saying who is more terrible.

With Gao Lishi here, Wang Maozhong is cold nine times out of ten.

Palace!

Colliers returned to the palace.

When Li Longji saw Gao Lishi coming back, he laughed and said, "Why did you come back so soon, and you didn't sit down to ask for a glass of water and wine?" ”

Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Wang Guogong is a little unhappy and does not stay with his ministers. ”

Li Longji asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" I decreed to congratulate him, and he was still not happy? ”

Gao Lishi wanted to speak and stopped, and then said: "Wang Guogong is disgusted with the official given by His Majesty, and he said that his son must be a third-grade official......"

Li Longji was instantly furious.

The official positions of the Tang Dynasty were analyzed according to their clothing, and there were four watersheds.

From the first product to the third product, it is called the third product, and the color of the official uniform is purple; From the fourth rank to the fifth grade, the official uniform is a red robe; From the sixth grade to the seventh grade, it is a green robe; From the eighth grade to the ninth grade, wear a green robe.

These four watersheds also symbolize the difficulty of promotion.

Especially the three products, even if they are prime ministers, they are only three products.

Wang Maozhong opened his mouth to ask for a third-grade official, this is no longer a pampered and coquettish, it is rampant......

The crazy has no score, the crazy has no bounds.

has faintly exceeded the limit of Li Longji's patience.

"Great work! Stand down! ”

Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to go down to rest, and thought about everything alone in the temple.

Wang Maozhong is one of his most trusted people and his playmate house slave.

After Wu Zetian came to power, Li Longji was freed, and according to the pomp of the King of Linzi, the imperial court assigned him a criminal slave as a servant.

Wang Maozhong was with Li Longji at that time, and he was the first batch of people to follow Li Longji, even Gao Lishi was not as early as Wang Maozhong.

At that time, Li Longji never thought that he would become the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the king of a country, and he would take Wang Maozhong to walk his dog and make eagles all day long, and do nonsense.

Wang Maozhong is also responsible for Li Longji's horse camel eagle dog, which is his most intimate playmate.

Back in Chang'an, Li Longji had the heart to do something big, and the first thing that came to mind was Wang Maozhong, who arranged him to Wanqi to win people's hearts.

Along the way, Wang Maozhong has certainly cheated him, but as a courtier, he is still very qualified.

Li Longji thought that Wang Maozhong accompanied him all the way, and when he really wanted to do it, he couldn't bear it in his heart, "Come on!" ”

He summoned Li Jingren and asked him to go to Wang Maozhong's mansion and secretly invite a minister to the banquet.

In the palace, even Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao, the two eunuchs with the highest status and the most favored, were inevitably humiliated by Wang Maozhong, not to mention Li Jingren.

Li Jingren did not call someone from the military, but a civil minister, or a civil servant of the ministry.

The officials had no enmity with Wang Maozhong, but the second-in-command of the officials was demoted and punished out of Beijing because of the direct impeachment of Wang Maozhong.

Whether it is Li Jingren or this official of the ministry, they don't have a good impression of Wang Maozhong.

Hearing their report, Li Longji's face suddenly became gloomy.

At the first time, Li Longji called Gao Lishi back and said, "General Gao, you have been so humiliated in the palace, why don't you speak up to me?" ”

Gao Lishi smiled: "The old slave doesn't want to embarrass Your Majesty, Your Majesty values love and righteousness, and Wang Guogong is the earliest person to follow Your Majesty, but it's just a matter of saying two words, and the old slave doesn't mind." ”

"You!" Li Longji pointed at Gao Lishi and said, "The biggest problem is that I am too good at thinking about me...... In the past, Wei Shi, the head of the thief and the rat at both ends, almost fell short, and his life hung by a thread. I don't want to say anything. Jingyuan told him to corrupt the morale of the army, and I forgave him. did whatever he wanted before, made a big fuss about the Criminal Department of Jingzhao Mansion, and shook his face. I'm not left to care. Congratulations to him today, but he complains with a child, and humiliates my messenger like this, which is unbearable. ”

"No!" Gao Lishi's face changed greatly, and he stepped forward to bow and speak: "The Northern Ya Forbidden Army is under the control of Wang Guogong, the Southern Ya Forbidden Army, many generals and colonels are also closely associated with him, and the East Palace guards are also under his control. ”

These words went straight to Li Longji's heart.

It made Li Longji break out in a cold sweat.

Li Longji had 100% trust in Wang Maozhong before, and he would not doubt his loyalty at all, so he didn't care how much power Wang Maozhong had.

Now, after Li Longji has tolerated again and again, when he couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly realized that he was shocked when he thought of the power held by Wang Maozhong.

Wang Maozhong is so arrogant, not without confidence.

The guards of the imperial city were fully responsible for the Northern and Southern Forbidden Forces.

The Beiya Forbidden Army is the left and right Yulin Army, the left and right ten thousand horsemen,

Wang Maozhong controlled the left and right Yulin armies, while his in-law Ge Fushun controlled Wancai, and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army was under Wang Maozhong's control......

Lu Longzi, the general of the left prison gate, Tang Diwen, the general of the right prison gate, Cheng Jihou, the general of the right military guard, and Wang Jingyao, the general of the right guard, are all Wang Maozhong's people, and part of the Nanya forbidden army is also controlled by Wang Maozhong.

There is also Wang Maozhong's eldest son, the prince's servant Wang Shouzhen, the second son, the prince's family, Wang Shoulian, and the third prince's command, Wang Shouqing, they also control the military power of the East Palace......

As soon as Wang Maozhong raised his arms and shouted, most of the soldiers and horses in the imperial city would move.

The more this is the case, the more Li Longji can't tolerate Wang Maozhong's arrogance, and said loudly: "Immediately pass Pei Guogong into the palace!" Immediately afterward, he prepared more than 20 appointments in a row.

"The general of the auxiliary state, the general of Zuo Wuwei, the middle supervisor of the palace, the prince of Huo Guo, and the supervisor of the internal and external stables all made Wang Maozhong arrogant and arrogant, and acted recklessly, and I forgave his ignorance and dealt with it lightly. In the foreign minister of the driver's office, the officers and soldiers were escorted to the post, and they set off on the same day......"

"Geng Guogong, the general of the left leading army, Ge Fushun, don't drive outside the ...... of the degraded state members"

"Lu Longzi, the general of the Left Prison Gate, don't drive outside the Zhenzhou ......"

"Tang Diwen, the general of the right prison gate, degrade the governor and don't drive outside the ......"

……

In one breath, more than 20 edicts degraded the officials who held military power in Wang Maozhong's hands and sent them out of Beijing, and ordered them to leave immediately.

Only at this critical time will Li Longji show his vigorous and resolute side, and his methods are particularly strong.

Pei Min came to the palace and met Li Longji.

With Pei Min beside him, Li Longji instantly became confident and issued more than 20 edicts together.

Wang Maozhong was still immersed in joy, and suddenly got such bad news, and the whole person was furious, shouting to see Li Longji.

But Li Longji is also ruthless.

As soon as he made up his mind, he paid attention to Wang Maozhong, no matter how much he favored him before, he didn't leave any leeway.

Wang Maozhong had neither the opportunity to appeal nor the possibility of preparation.

Finally, Li Longji's guards had already controlled Wang Maozhong, and did not give him a chance to conspire with his henchmen, and directly escorted him to Yingzhou to take office.

Wang Maozhong's in-law Ge Fushun also received the same treatment and escorted the soldiers to their posts.

The rest of the generals had a chance to breathe, but they had no leader, and Li Longji did not give them the opportunity to enter the palace to contact the soldiers, and directly used Wang Maozhong's banquet to wipe out all the military power in Wang Maozhong's party.

At the same time, the news in the palace was blocked, and competent and credible people were arranged to take over the vacant forbidden army of the North and South Ya.

Let Pei Min enter the palace in case of emergency, so as not to threaten himself by a few people who are loyal to Wang Mao Zhong and Ge Fushun.

A series of actions, leaving no gaps, used the means of scheming to the extreme, so that Pei Min couldn't help but admire.

Watching Li Longji seriously clean the moths of the forbidden army, Pei Min thought in his heart: "I hope that these newly promoted people are all useful cadres and can govern the atmosphere in the army, so as not to really appear a situation where the outside is strong and the inside is weak." ”

In fact, Pei Min knew that the situation of being strong on the outside and weak on the inside had appeared, and the current central forbidden army, once it was on the battlefield, it was not vulnerable, but it was of no great use.

"Jingyuan!" Li Longji looked at Pei Min.

"The minister is here!" Pei Min came back to his senses and stepped forward.

Li Longji said: "Look at you listening leisurely, give you a task, this time to seal the Zen, all the way safe, you are responsible!" ”
