Chapter 148: The killing machine of the old emperor of the Spring Festival
Tianbao 12 years Yuan Zheng. Years of division. Afternoon.
The old emperor Li Longji, who had suffered a stroke on his sickbed and had been in a semi-coma for most of the time, suddenly woke up.
Gao Lishi is taking Li Jingzhong to command a few eunuchs and palace maids to set up the imperial study, wearing red and hanging colors, although the old emperor is sick and bedridden, but the festive atmosphere should still create a little, and it can be regarded as a joy for the old emperor.
No, Gao Lishi, an old minion, is loyal to the old emperor, and the sun and the moon are clear, and no one can compare.
Colliers was telling people to do this and that, when he suddenly heard a soft sound from inside, like the sound of someone knocking on the bed.
Gao Lishi was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Li Jingzhong, "Jingzhong, bring someone to place it, and a certain family will enter Your Majesty." β
"Waitβgo and send the Imperial Doctor quickly." Colliers took a few steps forward and turned back to instruct.
"Whoa." Li Jingzhong bowed down, and when Gao Lishi hurriedly walked inside, Li Jingzhong looked up at Gao Lishi's back and groaned slightly.
The old emperor had been half-dead for a long time, and he was just hanging out. The imperial doctor came every day to push down the medicine for the old emperor's acupuncture, and Gao Lishi took two close palace maids to personally turn over and move the old emperor, change clothes and wash, and wait for ironing.
When Gao Lishi walked into the inner room, he immediately saw the old emperor's open, normal and slightly shining eyes.
Li Longji stretched out his hand with great difficulty and beckoned to Gao Lishi, and then hung down weakly.
Colliers was ecstatic, immediately burst into tears, rushed over a few steps and bowed to the ground and cried, "Everyone! Everyone! Old slave Lux is here to serve His Majesty! β
Li Longji stretched out his cold and weak hand and slowly grabbed Gao Lishi's hand, and the light in his eyes gradually flourished.
His lips trembled, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't speak, and for a long time, his face turned red before he spit out a slurred word: "! β
Gao Lishi settled down and understood that the old emperor wanted him to report on the recent situation in the Tang Dynasty. It seems that although he can't speak normally, his mind is still a little clear at this moment.
Colliers choked up and said softly, "Everyone! Everyone suddenly fell illβ¨ Xuan and Yang Guozhong supported the establishment of the crown prince and the country, and kept the news of His Majesty's illness secret...... Now, the crown prince is in charge of the government with the assistance of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong, but it is also calm and calm, and there is no incident. β
"Everyone still has to raise the dragon body, and the old slave has summoned the imperial doctor to come and treat His Majesty."
When Gao Lishi came here, he suddenly noticed that the old emperor's hand was trembling violently, and he looked up at the old emperor, and saw that the corners of the old emperor's mouth twitched violently, and his eyes flashed with anger.
Gao Lishi thought that the old emperor was dissatisfied with the crown prince Li Heng in charge of the country, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Everyone will raise the dragon body first, and the prince will supervise the country is just an expedient measure." When everyone is healthy, the prince will naturally return to the East Palace. β
Gao Lishixin: Everyone, even if you don't like Li Heng in every way, the situation at the moment is that you can't help but let Li Heng take the position. Li Heng has the support of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong, even if the old slave wants to veto, he can't do anything. The other princes want to take this piece of country in the hands of Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong, it is too difficult and too difficult.
"Paste...... Tu ......" The old emperor struggled with all his strength and squeezed out two vague words, panted violently a few times, and said softly again, "Come on...... Kill! β
Colliers was startled, and suddenly a cold sweat flowed, and his back was wet with sweat.
Gao Lishi has followed the old emperor for decades, and his understanding of the old emperor is too deep, and the tacit understanding between the two is too deep. Although the old emperor was just a look in his eyes and a few vague words, Gao Lishi still really felt the killing intent of the old emperor.
Why did everyone kill Zhang Xuan? This Zhang Xuan is clearly the minister of the humerus who assisted the next generation of the Tang Emperor with his efforts to destroy and cultivate, the minister of Tuogu, and an important chess piece to balance An Lushan and Yang Guozhong......γ...... Why is that?
Gao Lishi clearly remembered that before the onset of the disease, the old emperor still favored Zhang Xuan...... This?
The old emperor gasped for breath and slowly closed his eyes.
But although he closed his eyes, his mind, which was not completely awake, always echoed the scene that made his blood boil, and the extremely muffled sound was always circling in his ears.
Zhang Rui and Yang Yuhuan never dreamed that the moment when the two of them hugged and kissed on the side of the screen in the imperial study that day, they happened to be heard by the half-mentally and half-confused old emperor.
It's just that the old emperor was angry in his heart at that time, but he couldn't speak. And he also knew that he was seriously ill at the moment, and if he was poked in front of him, it was likely to cause Zhang Xuan to take risks, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
originally wanted to settle accounts with Zhang Xuan and Yang Yuhuan after the autumn after he was well, but then his body was not as good as day by day, and he fell into a deep sleep and coma most of the day, and his heart was weak. Until today, his spirit was slightly better, and he was impatient to call Gao Lishi in as soon as possible, and reluctantly expressed his meaning.
Colliers gasped, stared at the old emperor, and didn't say a word.
The old emperor slowly opened his eyes again, and his lips trembled hard, "Ning...... Constitution...... Beautiful jade...... See me ......"
Gao Lishi was stunned and understood that the old emperor wanted him to let Li Lin, the son of Emperor Ning Wang Li Xian, enter the palace to enter him.
Don't...... Gao Lishi suddenly woke up, do you want to pass the throne to the descendants of Emperor Li Xian?
In the past, Li Xian, as the eldest son of Emperor Yu, gave up the throne to Li Longji, but now Li Longji wants to pass on the throne to his nephew and return the imperial power to Li Xianmai.
Emperor Yu Li Dan has a total of six sons, and to be honest, the love between Li Longji's brothers is still deep. Li Xian is the eldest son, and the throne should have been passed to the eldest son, but Li Longji not only has but also talent, and is the most suitable candidate for the emperor among the brothers.
In order to preserve the love of brothers, Li Xian would rather abandon the throne.
Therefore, Li Longji treats Li Xian's direction very favorably, with a certain sense of compensation. According to Li Xian, when Li Xian died of illness in the 29th year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji wept and grieved and couldn't help himself. Subsequently, according to Shang Shan's "let", and his virtue and gentleness were called "let", and Li Xian's reputation of "let the emperor" was posthumously remarked.
Li Lin is Li Xian's first son, and the eldest surviving son of Li Xian's sons, he is bold and hospitable, good at riding and shooting, and has a high prestige in the royal family.
The old emperor fell asleep again with weariness.
Colliers looked forward and thought for a long time, and after a fierce ideological struggle, he secretly made up his mind. Although he admired Zhang Xuan more, he was the old emperor's loyal dog, and at the critical moment, he could only choose to obey the old emperor's secret order.
Gao Lishi slowly walked out of the inner room, stood in the outer hall and beckoned to Li Jingzhong.
Li Jingzhong walked over respectfully, bowed and said, "General! β
"Jingzhong, you quickly leave the palace and go to pass Li Lin, the son of the emperor and the king of Ning, into the palace, and everyone must summon him! Remember, this is everyone's secret message, and don't say it! Gao Lishi lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "If there is a trace leaking out, Xinyou's head!" β
"Yes, I don't dare." Li Jingzhong's heart was agitated, and he hurriedly responded with his head.
Now although Li Jingzhong is also the chief eunuch in the palace, and his powerful position in the palace is second only to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi is still Gao Lishi after all, far from being comparable to him. After years of accumulation, he didn't even dare to resist.
Li Jingzhong did not dare to slack off, and immediately left the palace to go to the Sining Palace.
It's just that on the road, Li Jingzhong's mind flashed and he thought about a lot of things. He didn't understand, this is a good and dignified festival, Li Heng, the prince of the prison on the other side of the East Palace, is summoning the ministers to the palace to drink and feast for the New Year, but the old emperor suddenly woke up and wanted to summon Li Lin, the son of Emperor Li Xian...... What does this mean exactly?
It seems a little weird.
Li Jingzhong suddenly seemed to think of something, and the brilliance in his eyes suddenly enlarged.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth, and told the coachman to immediately change his route and go to Zhang Xuan's General's Mansion.
Li Jingzhong hurriedly and secretly came to the General's Mansion and asked to see Zhang Xuan. But Zhang Xuan was not there, and Zhang Xuan, a subordinate in the house, had already gone out, and seemed to have entered the palace.
Li Jingzhong was a little disappointed, and in desperation, he had to change the route again and go straight to the Si Ning Palace.
Zhang Xuan did not enter the palace, because he was going to enter the palace later to accompany the crown prince Li Heng and the courtiers to celebrate the New Year's banquet, so he had to return to Zhang's mansion in advance and ask his mother-in-law Liu's family for peace.
When Zhang Xuan arrived, Cui Ying also arrived early, and was talking affectionately with Li Xiuxiu around the Liu family.
Seeing Zhang Xuan come in, Cui Ying got up with a smile and greeted gently, "Husband! β
Li Xiuxiu also got up and bowed down obediently and respectfully, "Xiuxiu greets my brother!" β
"Hehe, sister Xiuxiu don't be polite. Mother, the son asked his mother to come here. Zhang Xuan bowed to Liu's elder.
Liu smiled gently, "Xuan'er, get up." Xuan'er, isn't it going to enter the palace today to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison Country and the courtiers to have a banquet and celebrate the New Year, and the social affairs are very important...... Mother here, accompanied by Xiuxiu and Ying'er, let's go to the palace with peace of mind. β
During the conversation, Zhang Huan's wife Song and Zhang Ning's wife Jiao also walked in with a few children and smiled.
When the Song family and the Jiao family saw Zhang Xuan, they hurriedly bowed to the blessing, "The concubine is here to meet the general!" β
Although Zhang Xuan is the elder of Zhang's mansion, his official authority is heavy, and although Song and Jiao are sisters-in-law, they dare not slack off, and they are a little disrespectful.
Get up, now the Zhang family is all dependent on Zhang Xuan to get to where it is today, and the attitude of the Zhang family towards Zhang Xuan is mostly in awe and gratitude.
Zhang Xuan didn't dare to accept the full courtesy, so he quickly hid to the side and said with a smile, "Two sisters-in-law, isn't such a big gift to kill my brother?" β
