Chapter 50: The True Master of the Green Dragon
Gao Lishi glanced at the forgetful Li Longji and said softly: "Do you remember the original agreement?" β
Pei Min groaned slightly, and said, "But an appointment to go to Gaofu for a while?" β
Seeing that Gao Lishi agreed, Pei Min said: "Of course I remember, I have always regretted it." The chamberlain is too busy, and His Majesty can't do without you. There are only a few days a year when I can go home, but I don't know when I have free time? β
Gao Lishi said: "Three days later, His Majesty authorized a certain person to return to his home to visit relatives. β
Pei Min said without hesitation: "After those three days, Min came to visit. β
Gao Lishi bowed and said, "A certain sweeper is waiting." β
The two made an appointment and watched Li Longji's performance together.
It won't be until dark.
Because he knew something, Pei Min's actions became more and more cautious.
After returning home, Pei Min immediately repaired a letter and asked Sun Zhou to send it to Liangzhou through their own channels to ask for help from Liangzhou.
Then he waited in the house until it was completely dark.
Pei Min was relieved to climb over the wall and sneak into Sun's mansion.
Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi thought that there was no progress, Pei Min would not come tonight, and the two sisters were ready to sleep.
They took a shower and changed into loose bedclothes.
For Pei Min's arrival, the two hurriedly added a set of coats and came out to meet each other.
"I'll go to sleep first!" Gongsun Xi planned to avoid suspicion as always, and glanced at Pei Min with a bit of resentment.
Pei Min hurriedly said: "Miss Xi, don't go, I found you a special discovery today, let's refer to it together!" β
Gongsun Xi didn't say a word, and found a seat to sit down.
In the past, she would sit next to Pei Min very affectionately, but today she is far away.
Pei Min didn't expect to have a better relationship with Gongsun You, but he became estranged from his relationship with Gongsun Xi, thinking about this matter, he had to talk to her well.
Seeing that Pei Min was so cautious, Gongsun You said with a little joy: "But there is news from Jingzhao Mansion?" β
Pei Min shook his head and said, "It's a new discovery, a problem that we have been ignoring." No, I should have misled you, been misled by the obstacle. That's why the truth is getting farther and farther away from us...... In fact, you have come close to the truth for a while. β
Gongsun Xi was confused when he heard it.
Gongsun You was the first to react and said, "Is it really Gaolis?" β
Pei Min affirmed: "On this point, I am not wrong, Gao Neishou is not a villain. There is no doubt about His Majesty's loyalty. I believe there is no other person in the world today who is more loyal to His Majesty than him. β
He also didn't sell Guan Zi and said: "Qinglong originated from the internal guards of the Empress Wu period, and as the eyes and ears of the Empress Wu in the past, the number of people can be said to be all over the Tang Dynasty. The Shenlong coup d'Γ©tat, the five kings restored the Tang Dynasty, and the Empress Wu was forced to hand over power. It seems to be a major political victory, but in fact, of all the people who participated in the coup, only Princess Taiping was the winner, and the others ended in defeat and belonged to the losers. β
"Even if Zhang Cambodia, Jinghui, Cui Xuanwei, Yuan Shuji, and Huan Yanfan received a short period of glory and were named kings with different surnames, they couldn't escape the fate of death in the end."
"There is only Princess Taiping who can inherit the inheritance of Neiwei, so it is natural for Qinglong to be controlled by Princess Taiping!"
"So who is the beneficiary of the demise of Princess Taiping? Who is entitled to take over the inheritance left by Princess Taiping? β
"Saint!"
Gongsun Xicheng's mansion was not deep, and he directly exhaled in a low voice.
Even Gongsun Xi reacted, Gongsun You couldn't guess it, her face had already become ugly.
Pei Min closed his eyes and recalled everything that had happened in the congenital coup d'Γ©tat.
Congenital coup, in which he participated, even had a decisive weight.
But at that time, he did not enter Li Longji's core team at all, and he was deeply valued. But Li Longji just regarded him as a capable minister, a useful minister, just like Yao Chong......
A lot of things, he doesn't get involved in it.
For example, the purge of the Taiping party, the receipt of the huge wealth saved by Princess Taiping over the years, etc., are not something he can intervene in.
Qinglong, this power that originated from the martial queen, really exists, can Li Longjiyan let it go?
Pei Min always thought that Li Longji was in the palace and didn't understand the situation, because someone else took over Qinglong from Princess Taiping.
It was only today that Pei Min realized that he had completely underestimated Li Longji, the emperor.
Qinglong is under Li Longji's control, and he deliberately hides it.
That's why it's unknown, even a henchman like himself hasn't heard of it at all.
When I think about it, there was actually a little sign before this, but I didn't care.
Back then, in order to make him more thorough, Yao Chong officially did it to himself.
And he happened to have a grudge with Liu Qiwu at that time, so he took advantage of the situation, stabbed Yao Chong, and pulled out one of his henchmen.
This is officially an enemy, but it has not yet officially faced off. Li Longji acted as a peacemaker and beat them.
It can also be seen that Li Longji is very clear about going up and down, and many things are under his control.
"This ......" Gongsun smiled bitterly, "It's unlikely, that's true." But our opponent is a saint? At the foot of this Son of Heaven, the saint wants to deal with us, and it takes so much trouble? β
"No, our opponent is not Your Majesty. You can rest assured of this! β
Pei Min stretched out his hands and slammed them downward, reassuring the Gongsun sisters. In the feudal era, unless it was a troubled time when the imperial power was falling, it was self-defeating to be an enemy of the emperor......
He smiled and asked, "How did you suspect Gao Neishi?" β
Gongsun Youdao: "We peeled off the cocoon's investigation and found that the other party's information flowed to the palace, and this clue was finally terminated by Gao Lishi...... Our Jianghu forces can't go deep into the palace, and we can't investigate. β
"That's it!" Pei Min patted his thigh and said, "The clue is not terminated at Gao Neishi, but at the hands of His Majesty." What is the status of Your Majesty? Do ordinary people say they see it? β
"Even if I haven't been summoned, if I want to meet His Majesty, it will take a lot of trouble, let alone an ear and an eye? Gao Nei is the most trusted person of His Majesty, and there is no one. β
"He is His Majesty's hands and feet, and if I am not wrong, the information is transmitted to His Majesty through him. That's why you're pointing the finger at Gao Neilao......"
"In other words, there is another person, he is responsible for the operation of the Blue Dragon for His Majesty......" Gongsun You's eyes lit up, "This mysterious person is our opponent." β
"Not bad!" Pei Min clenched his fist with one hand and said: "I understand Your Majesty's temperament, he will not personally control the Qinglong, he will hand over the Qinglong to someone he trusts." And this person he trusts does not seem to be doing things for His Majesty in a down-to-earth manner, but has ulterior motives. I can't guess what he has in mind. But one thing is certain, those who can win His Majesty's trust, and the Blue Dragon will be controlled by one of them......"
