Chapter 53: I Want to Die but Don't Dare to Die
Colliers?
Pei Min paused when he heard the name.
This was a powerful figure back then, but because of Li Yan's deliberate estrangement, he has withdrawn from the stage of history.
But Pei Min knew in his heart that with Gaolishi's ability and strength, with Li Yan's estrangement, he could not immediately become a marginal figure.
Gao Lishi is unwilling to be an enemy of Li Yan, and is willing to give up everything he has, which is why he has become a marginal figure.
When it comes to loyalty, Pei Min thinks he is not as good as Colliers.
Colliers belongs to the category of die-hard people, with the idea that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister will die immediately. And Pei Min belongs to the normal relationship between the monarch and the minister, just as Mencius said, "The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as enemies."
Li Longji was so confident that he was conceited, and his unconditional trust in Pei Min also made Pei Min willing to give everything for the Li Tang Dynasty.
For Gao Lishi, Pei Min has complicated feelings: he went to the West, and specially talked to Gao Lishi about Li Heng and asked him to be on guard.
As a result, Li Heng still kept making moves, and he would use Li Yan's trust and inconspiracy to make a mess of the situation in the east, especially forcing Li Yi to death.
Pei Min didn't believe that Gao Lishi didn't know anything, and he didn't believe that Gao Lishi really didn't have any way.
As for why Gao Lishi didn't do anything at all, Pei Min didn't know it and didn't plan to pursue it. The only thing he was sure of was that Colliers did not collude with Li Heng.
After calculating the time, the current Tang Dynasty is in ruins, and there is really not much free time. Now Ge Shuhan's money has not yet arrived, and once the money is in place, it will be even more empty.
Thinking that it was still early, he said, "Send someone to tell Gao Nei that I will visit in a while." ”
After tidying up and freshening up, changing into comfortable and neat civilian clothes, Pei Min rode his horse to the Colliers mansion.
Colliers still lives in the most prosperous area of Chang'an, but the deserted courtyard is the same as in the past.
Pei Min couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Gao Lishi again, where did this gray-haired and old-looking person in front of him have the slightest original appearance?
On the street, he is a sick old man, how can he see the shadow of the hussar general Gao Lishi?
"Gao Nei Waiter!"
Pei Min shouted movingly: "What are you?" ”
Colliers sighed and said, "Let's talk about it in detail!" ”
Pei Min and Gao Lishi joined in, and Pei Min found that when he came to Gaofu before, there were a lot of servants and maids, but today it is rare to see one.
When they came to the private room, the two of them took a seat.
Gao Lishi straightened up directly, bowed heavily to the ground, and sobbed: "If it weren't for Pei Xiang, Gao Lishi would have caused a big disaster." A certain faceless to see Pei Xiang, even more shameless to see His Majesty. Wanting to die and being ashamed to die......"
He fell to his feet and wept profusely.
A man in his fifties or sixties cries like a child.
Pei Min stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Gao Nei is because of Li Heng?" ”
Because Li Heng has been demoted to a civilian and assigned to a foreign country, for a civilian, Pei Min calls him by his name here.
Gao Lishi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "Yes, Pei Xiang should know that His Majesty intends to let Li Heng ascend the throne before he dies?" ”
His Majesty in his mouth naturally refers to Li Longji, not the current emperor Li Yan.
Pei Min nodded.
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty has no suspicions about Pei Xiang, especially Pei Xiang's insistence on entering Beijing despite the changes in Gyeonggi has greatly moved Your Majesty. It was Pei Xiang's insistence that he chose the current His Majesty and gave up his plans. In fact, His Majesty has always wondered in his heart, why would you insist so much on the matter of Lichu? Can't Pei Xiangzhen see that today's Majesty is a dou who can't be supported, a rotten wood that is difficult to carve? ”
Pei Min doesn't know how to explain it, Li Yan can't catch up with Li Heng in terms of talent and learning ability, but Li Heng is like Yang Guang, the stronger the ability, the greater the harm. On the contrary, although Li Yan is a little mediocre, with the situation of the Tang Dynasty at that time, as long as it is stable, it can maintain a prosperous era for a long time.
I believe that no one will believe this statement, but it is true.
Gao Lishi said: "Everything is really the same as Your Majesty's worries, and today's talent is not enough to be the king of a country." Everything needs Pei Xiang's support, and when Pei Xiang goes out to fight, he is like losing his backbone, and he lacks assertiveness in everything. Especially when the north was in turmoil, he was at a loss. In a certain heart, His Majesty will always come first. Pei Xiang is certainly powerful, but compared with His Majesty, it is thousands of miles away. A certain person felt more and more that Pei Xiang was wrong in the matter of choosing the prince, and Li Heng, who His Majesty fancied, was the best choice. ”
He said bitterly: "Li Heng can be forbearing, strategic, and ambitious, and has the demeanor of His Majesty back then." Some of his things are a certain thing or two. But he didn't ask about it, and he didn't study it in detail. A certain thought that today's ability was not enough to quell the rebellion of the thieves, and if Li Heng could set things right at this time, it would undoubtedly be right for His Majesty. It's just that I really can't imagine that Li Heng is actually one of the sources of everything. I was wrong......"
"I only thought that some of his small actions were big ambitions, but I didn't think that this was not an ambition, not a big ambition, but a thief of the people and a thief of calamity to the country."
"If you listen to Pei Xiang's words early and restrain you to investigate, you will definitely be able to detect one or two and avoid the current situation. It was me, my indulgence, that led to Li Heng's misdeeds. ”
"It was I who failed Your Majesty and ruined the great ...... Your Majesty"
Pei Min heard Gao Lishi's words of self-blame, and he also understood in his heart, and understood why Li Heng was plotting in Chang'an and was unscrupulous.
There are only two people who can deal with Li Heng except himself.
One is Li Yi, and the other is Gao Lishi.
Especially in the palace, Gao Lishi's strength is deep-rooted, even if Li Yan doesn't like him, he will not wipe out his strength, it is simply Gao Lishi who turns a blind eye.
Blame?
Looking at Gao Lishi, who was crying like a child, and looking at an old man who was dying, Pei Min couldn't scold, and sighed: "It's all fate, the matter has passed, and there is no point in talking about it anymore!" The inner servant still takes good care of his body, now the world is gradually recovering, although His Majesty is dull, he knows the golden mean. So-and-so is still young, His Majesty is also young, and we have enough time to cultivate the future Son of Heaven. ”
Gao Lishi sobbed and said: "After Your Majesty left, I had already had the intention of dying, and I planned to die and follow Your Majesty, so that I could live in the world because of Your Majesty's trust." Now I don't dare to die, I am ashamed to see Your Majesty, so I have this crippled body. Now I know that the time limit has come, and I have finished counting the savings in the house. A part of the deduction is reserved for the Lu family, and the rest is filled with the treasury. I have wronged the Lu family over the years, and I hope that Guogong can take care of it. ”
Pei Min was a little hurt and said, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly." ”
Gao Lishi paused and said: "Pei Xiang still remembers the covenant of the year, my righteous son Zhe'er has been wise, Pei Xiang is willing to accept him as an apprentice?" ”
