Chapter 437: Palace Change (6)

Gao Lishi hurriedly walked alone on the secluded palace path. On weekdays, Gao Lishi didn't feel anything, but now he was restless, secretly complaining that the palace was so deserted, where did the group of palace maids and eunuchs go in the past?

It takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the Xuanzheng Yuan to the Lin De Palace where the emperor is located, which is not too far. But Colliers is old and frail, and he rarely walks, and he feels out of breath after walking for a while.

But at the moment, he couldn't care about this, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. If you don't deceive the emperor, there is danger on the old emperor's side, but if you deceive the emperor for the sake of the old emperor, this is also a very dangerous thing - in the future, how will it end? Will the emperor spare him?

Fortunately, he soon met three eunuchs, and he recognized them as the stewards of the imperial dining room at a glance. The three eunuchs carried the food box in the direction of the Lin De Palace, and it seemed that the emperor was going to have an afternoon meal.

The rules in the palace are strict, and the eunuchs perform their duties and cannot be chaotic at all. Whose business is whose business, no one can do it for him.

The three eunuchs also recognized Colliers.

Although Gao Lishi is no longer on an errand in Daming Palace, he can be called the predecessor of all the eunuchs in the palace, and he is the first eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, and he is very well-known.

Gao Lishi gasped and approached, and the three eunuchs hurriedly bowed down to make way for Gao Lishi. One of the middle-aged eunuchs in his forties respectfully said, "King Gaojun, the slave Zheng Kun is polite!" ”

Gao Lishi's heart moved, he stopped to look at the eunuch, and suddenly his face was happy, and he recognized it as his old subordinate in the palace in the past, Zheng Kun, the deacon of the celebrant eunuch.

His mind flashed, but he didn't know if this person had anything to do with Yu Chaoen, and he didn't dare to expose his true thoughts easily, so he smiled and casually tentatively said: "Xiao Zhengzi? Zheng Kun, who was the celebrant back then? ”

Zheng Kun was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Gao Lishi to recognize him, so he smiled and saluted again: "King Gaojun, the slave is Zheng Kun who was the master of ceremonies back then!" I didn't expect that when I said goodbye, the demeanor of King Gao is still the same! ”

The emperor and the old emperor parted ways in Maweipo, and the eunuchs in the palace were automatically divided into two factions, one followed the old emperor into Shu for refuge, and the other followed the emperor to Lingwu to claim the emperor's name and start anew.

Gao Lishi sighed: "The miscellaneous family is already old, what kind of style is still there?!" Zheng Kun, aren't you in the celebrant supervisor, how did you enter the imperial dining room to listen to the errand? ”

In the palace, the celebrant is considered to be the real power department, and the imperial dining room is at most a service department, and the two are not the same. Zheng Kun was reduced from the ceremonial supervision system to being a steward in the imperial dining room, which shows that he is not very good in the palace now.

And as long as it is not mixed well, it is obviously not treated well by Yu Chaoen.

Zheng Kun sighed: "King Gaojun, the slave and maid are soft-spoken, and they are not liked by the fish provincial prison, and they were inexplicably beaten by the board the month before last, and then they were sent to the imperial dining room to listen to the errand, but the slave and maid are also content." King Gaojun, where are you going? ”

Gao Lishi smiled, "The miscellaneous family is going to meet Your Majesty and pass on the Emperor's message." ”

Zheng Kun sighed, and respectfully continued to let Gao Lishi walk in front.

Colliers walked slowly, his mind flickering. He wanted Zheng Kun to help him pass the news out of the palace, but he was worried that Zheng Kun was actually Yu Chaoen's gang, once he angered Yu Chaoen, his life would be lost, but it would be very bad if it affected the emperor.

But he didn't have many opportunities, as soon as he met the emperor, he had to accompany the emperor to the Xuanzheng Yuan, the emperor's life was at stake, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Colliers turned into the palace gate of the Lin De Palace, and showed the guards and eunuchs his waist card - in fact, his face was an unimpeded pass, and everyone recognized him.

Gao Lishi walked on the corridor of carved beams and painted columns, and when he saw that there was no one on the left and right, he gritted his teeth, bit his fingers and took out a white brocade from his arms, and hurriedly wrote three blood characters of Xuanzheng Yuan on it, and then wrapped it in a brocade bag, and hurriedly turned back, stopping Zheng Kun at the end of the corridor.

"Zheng Kun, the miscellaneous family accompanied the Emperor Taishang to recuperate in the palace, and he had no chance to leave the palace in the past two days. The miscellaneous family has something to worry about the general Kong Sheng, please take this bag and the waist card of the miscellaneous family out of the palace and go to Chang'an Houfu to hand it over to Kong Sheng in person, how about it? Gao Lishi's expression was solemn, and he handed the bag to Zheng Kun, then shook Zheng Kun's hand, pretended to sigh, and turned to leave.

He is actually gambling, he is gambling on his prestige and character, as well as Zheng Kun's heart. If Zheng Kun looked at his face and went out of the palace to find Kong Sheng, with Kong Sheng's power and scheming, he would definitely be able to understand that something had changed in the palace. And as long as Kong Sheng led the army into the palace, the emperor and the emperor would be saved.

But if Zheng Kun is Yu Chaoen's person, then this matter will inevitably be known by Yu Chaoen, causing him to react violently, and maybe he will do even more crazy things. At the very least, he will kill himself to vent his hatred.

But Colliers can't help it. If he wants to trick the emperor into going along with the conspiracy of Yu Chaoen and others, he can't do it. Although he was loyal to the old emperor, he also took into account the overall situation, and had a great sense of distress, knowing that this kind of palace change was very easy to induce turmoil in the imperial court, and if one was not done well, the safety of the emperor and the emperor was worried. And more importantly, the current Tang Dynasty can't stand any toss. The palace change led to the alternation of imperial power, and the damage to the world can be imagined.

In case the rebels of An Qingxu and Shi Siming seized the opportunity to counterattack and turn defeat into victory, Datang would be in danger.

At first, he originally wanted to ask the general Chen Xuanli for help. But he also knew that Chen Xuanli's influence and power in the current dynasty were insufficient, and at this critical juncture, except for the crown prince Li Yu, only Kong Sheng had the ability to turn the tide.

Gao Lishi did not dare to ask Li Yu for help.

In Gao Lishi's opinion, once the news reaches the East Palace, Li Yu will definitely take advantage of the situation. With Li Yu's means, he will definitely not let Yu Chaoen and others succeed, but Li Yu will definitely not give in like Yu Chaoen, and at the last moment, I am afraid that Li Yu would rather sacrifice the lives of the emperor and the emperor than give in, and agree to the presumptuous demands of Yu Chaoen and others.

In fact, the emperor and the emperor have both died, which is more in line with Li Yu's political interests, and he can just take the opportunity to ascend the throne as emperor and put all the blame on Yu Chaoen, a group of crazy eunuchs.

Therefore, if Li Yu gets this news, he will make a decision that is more in line with his political interests in the shortest possible time. With Li Yu's means, he used the hands of Yu Chaoen, a group of rebellious eunuchs, to kill the emperor and the old emperor, and then he took the throne as the only legal heir to the throne and became the emperor, so he would naturally be supported by the courtiers.

Gao Lishi weighed the pros and cons, so he could only choose to ask Kong Sheng for help.

It must be said that Gao Lishi has not been in vain in the palace for decades, he has been far-sighted, and at the critical moment, he made the wisest and most correct decision. (To be continued.) )
