Chapter 143: Colliers' Night Visit to Li Linfu (Part I)
Words, the definition of 'under one person, above ten thousand people', it can be said that the emperor said that he was the prime minister, and it could also be said to be a prince, but under one person in the four years of Datang Tianbao, there was only one person, who was neither the prime minister nor the Tai, but Li Longji's personal eunuch Gao Lishi.
No one will doubt his power, he can review the performance for the emperor, and decide on his own in small matters, Li Linfu did not dare to touch his tiger beard, and Li Heng also lowered his eyebrows in front of him.
He seems to be Li Longji's hand, his mouth, and even a part of his brain, arranging food and sleep for him, sharing worries and solving problems for him, Tianbao twenty-five years, after the death of Concubine Wu Hui, Li Longji was restless day and night, lonely and sleepless, and there were three thousand beauties in the harem, all of which were not in his eyes, but Gao Lishi knew what kind of woman he needed, so he took a bridge and let Li Longji see the empathetic and beautiful and intelligent Yang Yuhuan, so that Li Longji and the youth shook hands for the second time.
This is a person who knows him better than Li Longji himself, and decades of speculation have allowed Gao Lishi to see through Li Longji, and when Li Longji ordered him to return the impeachment of Li Qing to Li Linfu, he sensitively captured the subtle changes in the mood of the superiors, and the emperor began to be a little dissatisfied with Li Linfu's arrogance.
Gao Lishi carefully sent Li Longji back to the harem, and he didn't care about fatigue and illness, dragged his heavy body to the outside of the palace, and he could only go home after finishing the things the emperor had explained, he hurried to the Zichen Palace, planning to take the music from the emperor's imperial study and go to Li Linfu's house, at this time it was almost dusk, the light on the hall was dim, and Gao Lishi sneezed twice. Cold sweat began to break out on his body, just as he approached the imperial study, his head suddenly became violently dizzy, he was unstable on his feet, his hands were grasping in the air, but there was no strength, and the few little eunuchs who followed him were far away from each other, and he couldn't help him. Seeing that he was about to fall, a tall figure stepped from the side and grabbed him, "Ah Weng must be careful." ”
Colliers shook twice before he could barely stand up straight, and he closed his eyes. It wasn't until the dizziness disappeared that he opened his eyes and looked at the person who supported him in time, but it was Yang Zhao again.
"It's you again, thank you!"
Gao Lishi was anxious about what Li Longji explained, so he only bowed his head slightly, and was about to enter the imperial study, but at a glance, he saw Yang Zhao holding a fold in his hand, and couldn't help but stop and ask, "Who sent it?" ”
Yang Zhao's waist was almost bent to ten degrees, and his hands held the song high in front of Gao Lishi. Bi respectfully said: "This is the king of Yushicheng:}.> preview!" ”
"Wang:=.
Gao Lishi took it easily, but his eyes stared at Yang Zhao. Naturally, there is a eunuch on duty, he is a small officer of Jinwu Weidi, he has exceeded his duties and does not understand the rules, but for his sake of supporting himself in time, he does not care about him.
"There you go! Be on duty in the future, don't run around, this Zichen Hall is a confidential place. It's not good for you to come in casually. ”
Since the last time Yang Zhao went to Li Linfu's house for a meal, he regarded himself as the prime minister's party. Be willing to be a pioneer in everything, but it's a pity that others are humble. Energetic but can't do it, today he is on duty, just the king of the imperial history: =.supervisor, at this time the emperor has returned to the palace, the guard is loose, he looked at the air, slipped into the Zichen Palace, he also knew that the Zichen Palace can not come in casually, when he hesitated, he heard footsteps coming, quickly dodged to the side, but just helped Gao Lishi.
Yang Zhao couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw that he was gentle, and hurriedly replied: "Yang Zhao has just entered the palace on duty, and he doesn't understand the rules, so he is willing to listen to Ah Weng's teachings." ”
"It's okay, I'm about to go to Li Xiangguo's mansion, so you can be my guard!"
Gao Lishi saw that Yang Yuhuan's entry into the harem was a foregone conclusion, so he also became a little interested in her cousin, and saw that he was respectful to him, and his good impression was preconceived, so he planned to help him too.
Yang Zhao was in ecstasy, and immediately straightened his chest, and the posture was as if this palace had suddenly collapsed, and he was going to hold it up.
Gao Lishi smiled slightly, and walked into the house, saying that it was the imperial study, but in fact, it was composed of more than a dozen rooms, with layers of cards, heavily guarded, and several rooms were filled with all kinds of commonly used books and classics for Li Longji's temporary reference.
Gao Lishi took the fold he wanted to give to Li Linfu, and just about to leave, his heart suddenly moved, and the fold that Yang Zhao took just now was also the king:#
Thinking of this, he hurriedly opened the recital and read it carefully, but his heart was taken aback, the content of the recital was actually to impeach too conniving to slander the important ministers of the imperial court, and the thing was that on the way back from Li Qing, Li Jiao said the sentence because of anger, "Do the poisonous and filthy behind.
There are more than a dozen clan disciples below to draw evidence that Li Yin's scheming is quite similar to his father Li Linfu, and he smiled and promised Li Qing not to pursue the matter, but as soon as he turned around, he immediately found Yu Shi Cheng Wang Jiao, who was resting at home, and told him Li Li's slanderous words, Wang: < saw another opportunity to strike at Taidi, and immediately wrote a chapter to impeach Taizong for ruining the reputation of important ministers in the court.
In a sense, Colliers is supporting Taidi, on the one hand, he is too humble to him, and secretly promised to ensure that he will be prosperous and rich for life, on the other hand, he also understands that Li Longji has learned the lesson of the tragic death of the old wife Li Ying, and will not easily abolish Taidi, but this does not mean that it will never be abolished, if Li Longji's dissatisfaction with Taidi accumulates to a certain extent, he will still be abolished.
And this twist and turn seems to be a trivial matter, but it is precisely the life of Li Heng, Li Jiao is Li Longji's eldest grandson, smart and lively since childhood, and is liked by Li Longji, although he was born to a palace maid, but Li Longji still named him the eldest grandson, Li Heng also because of his father's nobility, sat on the throne of Tai, if Li Jiaoren is filial piety and courtesy, the image of being polite is destroyed in Li Longji's heart, and Li Heng's position will be difficult to protect.
However, Li Longji wanted to personally review the recital of the imperial history, and he couldn't overstep his bounds, so after thinking about it for a long time, Gao Lishi decided to go to the East Palace to inform Tai first, so that he could prepare early.
Hearing that Gao Lishi was visiting, Li Heng was surprised and delighted, and came out to greet him in person, seeing him with a sick face, he couldn't help complaining: "Second brother."
, just rest at home, if there is anything to ask the little eunuch to do it, and he flashed for this, tomorrow the emperor blames it, wouldn't it hurt me. ”
After speaking, he smiled, looked up, but saw Yang Zhao who was guarding on the side, Li Heng's face immediately became gloomy, this person was recommended by Zhang Qiu and Qiong to himself, for the sake of being the cousin of Princess Yuzhen, he was ready to reuse him, but before the hair grew, he immediately took refuge in Li Linfu, the inferior character is really shameful, Li Heng couldn't help but think of another Li Qing who was also recommended by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, he misunderstood him so much, he still didn't take refuge in Li Linfu, and helped himself a lot in Nanzhao, immediately saw the superior, Li Heng couldn't help but feel a burst of remorse, he really shouldn't have been so ruthless in the first place.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
Gao Lishi saw that Li Heng was a little distracted, so he called in a low voice twice, Li Heng immediately sobered up, so he grabbed his arm and smiled: "Go!" I happened to have an urn of good wine, so let's go and drink a glass together, drive away the cold for my second brother, warm my body, and get better when I am sick. ”
"Your Highness is too polite."
Gao Lishi patted his hand lightly and smiled: "I have a holy metaphor on me, it's not good to delay, I'll drink it another day!" ”
After speaking, he pulled Li Heng into the door, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he said in a low voice: "Wang: Fold, impeach His Royal Highness for conniving at King Guangping on the street to insult the prime minister of the dynasty, if the emperor knows about this tomorrow, he will inevitably blame King Guangping, His Royal Highness must plan early." ”
He looked up at the sky. He hurriedly said: "It's late, I have to leave quickly, this matter can't be delayed, we must deal with it carefully before the emperor sees the fold tomorrow!" ”
Li Heng didn't seem to hear his words, his face was cloudy and uncertain, but his heart was shocked and angry, and he was about to remind Gao Lishi to beware of Yang Zhao's words and threw them out of the clouds, waiting to send Gao Lishi away. He immediately asked a few eunuchs who followed, and only then did he know that the news was true, Li Heng was immediately so angry that his face was like gold paper, and he shouted: "Come on, quickly go to Baisun Courtyard and arrest that little beast for me!" ”
The Baisun Courtyard is close to the imperial palace, and like the Ten Princes' Mansion, it is the place where Li Long used to place the emperor's grandson. Li Jiao lived in it, and there were special people to take care of them, and there were also masters to teach them knowledge.
Not long after, Li Jiao was brought over, he was studying, but he heard that his father was looking for him in an emergency, and he only thought that his father wanted to ask him about picking up Li Qing today, and rushed all the way over, but saw his father's gloomy face and his face like ice. He didn't know what was going on, and his heart was in a state of panic. He was about to speak, but he heard his father shout angrily. "Kneel down and talk to me!"
Li Jiao had no choice but to kneel, Li Heng stared gloomily and asked, "Let me ask you, what did you say to that Li Yin today?" ”
When Li Jiao heard this, his head 'banged', he was dumbfounded, and he looked at his father blankly, as if he had lost his soul. "How did Father know about this?"
"You don't study well, but you wander all day long. Do you want to cause trouble for me, do you know that what you said has been written by the imperial history, and report to the emperor, if the emperor asks me tomorrow, how can you let me answer! ”
Speaking of this, Li Heng gritted his teeth, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
Li Jiaoxin scolded Li Yin for being despicable and untrustworthy, but he said stiffly: "Although the words are not good, but what the child said is true, he Li Linfu murdered the former wife, drove Zhang Ling away, and forced Li Shizhi to death, which thing is not despicable and shameless, I dare to do that, but I am not allowed to say it?" ”
Li Heng was so angry that he almost fainted, his face was suddenly like gold paper, his face was pale, and he was angry and angry, he was chased and intercepted by Li Linfu a few days ago, and the resentment he had accumulated finally broke out at this moment.
He sat upright in the chair, his thin chest rose and fell sharply, and his originally pale face became even more ugly because of his rage, and he pointed at his son and said angrily: "Little beast! I even dared to talk back, bring a rope stick, and gag me and beat me hard! Whoever dares to show mercy to his subordinates will be killed immediately! ”
The eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace were all frightened and trembling, so angry, for the first time in these years, more than a dozen powerful eunuchs immediately came up to turn Li Jiao over, blocked his mouth with broken linen, pressed him on the stool, and greeted him on the leg like a rain of thick sticks, only hit a dozen times, a large blood stain had seeped into the buttocks and shins, Li Jiao's eyes were blood-red, he gritted his teeth, and without saying a word, large beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead.
Gao Lishi meant to let Tai be ready to deal with the words, and when the music folded to Li Longji, he asked, as long as there was a good reason, he would scold him a few words at most, and then scold his master, and then end the matter, but Li Heng was already a soldier at this time, he was originally an introverted and cautious person, after sitting on the throne, he was even more cautious every day, walking on thin ice, and the long-term depression actually made him a little nervous, everything he had to be linked to his Tai position, and what Li Li said was his heart, He seemed to feel that he was stripped naked in public, and he was worried in his heart, for fear that Li Linfu would seize this matter and finally endanger his position.
Beat hard, exchange pathos for sympathy, and wipe himself out, this is his consistent style.
Li Heng's henchman eunuch Li Jingzhong saw that Li Jiao's face was already pale and weak, and his heart secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness! I can't fight anymore, if I fight too hard, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to explain it. ”
Li Heng saw that the fire had arrived, so he waved his hand, stopped the beating, and ordered someone to carry him into the house to take medicine, Li Jingzhong was just about to follow, but Li Heng made a look and stayed, and when he saw that others were gone, he lowered his voice to Li Jingzhong and said: "Later, you will personally send him back to Baisun Courtyard, take a long detour, and go to Li Linfu's mansion, do you understand what I mean?" ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter will definitely be handled properly!" After speaking, Li Jingzhong slowly retreated, turned around and went into the house to make arrangements.
Looking at the remaining blood stains on the ground, Li Heng let out a long sigh and said to himself: "Father, I don't know if you can be satisfied if I do this!" ”
As the sun set, Li Heng slowly walked towards the inner palace with tired steps, the golden afterglow reflected on his back, pulling out a long oblique shadow, looking old and tired.
