Chapter 459: The Great Purge (5)

Li Mi sighed lightly: "General, please!" ”

Kong Sheng turned over and dismounted, holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in one hand, and smiled slightly: "Li Xiang, please!" ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Mi's mouth, knowing that this matter should still be based on himself, he did not hesitate any longer, and strode into the main gate of Xingqing Palace. www.biquge.info In Li Mi's opinion, the reason why the emperor arranged for Kong Sheng to come over to "supervise" is that to put it bluntly, the emperor is not at ease with his own meaning.

In fact, when Li Mi brought people here, the old emperor inside already knew about it. In fact, the emperor sent the prime minister of the court and the central government to come over in person, and after the Xuanzheng Hall incident, not to mention the old emperor, even the servants around the old emperor can understand what is going on.

The essence of the Xuanzheng Hall incident was a cruel and bloody palace coup, which was just an attempted coup. Although the coup d'état was planned and carried out by the eunuchs in the palace, in fact, everyone understood that the old emperor also played an unbearable role in it. It can't just be done. The Emperor's Autumn Reckoning will not come too late.

After returning to Xingqing Palace from the Xuanzheng Palace, the old emperor was disappointed and terrified. Yu Chaoen's gang of eunuchs died innocently, but it affected him - the old emperor didn't dare to imagine how he, the son of the emperor, would deal with him, but judging by the city where he had been the emperor all his life, Li Heng should not be able to kill his father, but he must have been imprisoned in eighty percent.

The old emperor felt that he was only a little bit lucky, and he was about to get the throne back, but the existence of Kong Sheng's variable led to a total loss. As soon as he thought about it, the old emperor hated Kong Sheng to the bone marrow.

Therefore, the old emperor was actually fully mentally prepared.

It's just a matter of Colliers, which makes him a little uneasy.

The old emperor knew that at least to outsiders, it would be difficult for Gao Lishi, who "jumped up and down" in this coup d'état, to escape this catastrophe. After all, Colliers is a minion, although he has the title of duke, but this is a royal reward, the reward can be given to you, the wealth and glory can be given to you, but in the blink of an eye, everything that you are deprived of, including life, is a matter of fingers.

This is the sorrow of a minion.

This is the means of the superiors.

In order to protect the safety of the old emperor, Gao Lishi cooperated with Yu Chaoen to do some unbearable things, and did his best to deceive, deceive and disrespect the emperor, and played a more helpless, embarrassing and dangerous role than the old emperor in this rebellion. Not to mention Gaolis, even the old emperor himself realized that the emperor's revenge would definitely come, it was just a matter of time.

Basically, Colliers is going to die.

It's just that the old emperor hesitated to save Gaolishi or not. It's not that he's mean and unkind, but that the stakes are high, and he will pay a heavy price if he wants to save Colliers. The emperor may give in, but what does the old emperor use as a bargaining chip in exchange for the emperor's concessions?

Gao Lishi prostrate on the ground, his voice choked and desolate: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid know that the death penalty is inevitable, and they should confess their guilt." The slave and maid are not afraid of death, but the slave and maid will no longer be able to serve by Your Majesty's side in the future, and please take care of your Majesty's body and open your heart, so that the slave and maid will pray for your Majesty's longevity even when they go to the Netherworld......"

"You old thing...... I...... What do you say? I feel very sad in my heart, you have been by my side for so many years, but at the critical moment, I can't protect you, just like the concubine I loved at the beginning......" The old emperor sighed, thinking of what happened to Yang Yuhuan in the past for a while, and couldn't help but sigh with sadness.

At the beginning of the Ma Weipo mutiny, Li Heng led everyone to force him to comply, and the old emperor was forced to kill Yang Guifei, which has become the biggest hidden pain in his life. People all over the world are criticizing him for his madness of greedy beauty, but in fact, few people can perceive the existence of sincere love between him and Yang Yuhuan.

It is also said that the dignified emperor, there are countless women around him, what kind of beauty he wants is a matter of a snap of his fingers, and no one can understand it for the sake of a Yang woman.

Li Longji is rarely emotional, he is a hard-hearted person. It's just that once this person is old, his feelings are easy to be opened and touched, Gao Lishi has been loyal to him for decades, and there is no one in the world who can be so loyal to him like Gao Lishi, and he has lost Gao Lishi's meticulous service and care, how can he be embarrassed? Can he stand it?

The days when the old emperor took refuge in Shuzhong, if it weren't for Gao Lishi's care and companionship, I am afraid that he would have collapsed a long time ago.

People are emotional creatures, and thinking of the many benefits of Colliers, Li Longji burst into tears, hiding his face and crying.

"Please Your Majesty cherish the dragon body, the old slave is gone!" Colliers wailed and kowtowed to the ground one after another.

General Chen Xuanli's expression was complicated, and he hung his head and was silent.

What happened in the Xuanzheng Palace, he also just learned about it, and he was very shocked. Yu Chaoen and his gang of eunuchs made trouble, and even colluded with the old emperor and Gao Lishi...... This...... Chen Xuanli secretly complained in his heart, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are so confused! How can a eunuch and eunuch succeed with Yu Chaoen? Who can't believe it, you have to trust a group of eunuchs?

Chen Xuanli didn't know that the old emperor was also passive at first. It's just that later, he was scheming and began to push the boat down the river, and in turn used the madness of Yu Chaoen and others to help him succeed.

Yan Zhenqing also figured out the truth at this moment. Although he was loyal to the old emperor, he was also dissatisfied with Gao Lishi's deception and offense. The rebellion of the fish against the eunuch party is even more rebellious. In Yan Zhenqing's opinion, although Gao Lishi has all kinds of reasons, he should not offend the emperor and cooperate with Yu Chaoen to force the palace.

Of course, these people support the restoration of the old emperor, but what they believe in is to pursue legal means, and they will never do anything like this to plot rebellion and rebellion, and shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, there are so many people in Xingqing Palace, and no one speaks for Gao Lishi.

Colliers' expression was sad, and his shoulders trembled slightly. Although he is not afraid of death, he still has a concern for his current bleak end. has been a loyal servant for a lifetime, and has worked hard for the Li Tang royal family and died, and in the end, no one is willing to say a word or two for him.

Chen Xuanli hesitated for a moment, feeling that Gao Lishi had been loyal to the old emperor all his life, and had contributed to the Tang Dynasty, and should not have such a bleak end, so he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although King Gao Jun has had it, he has been loyal to His Majesty for decades, and in this rebellion of the eunuchs in the inner palace, King Gao also has the merit of transmitting news to Kong Sheng-if there is no King Gao Jun to spread the message to the outside world, I am afraid it will ...... Therefore, His Majesty should issue an edict to forgive his sins. ”

Chen Xuanli originally meant that the old emperor should fight with the emperor for Gao Lishi, at least to save Gao Lishi's life. But the old emperor's face changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He suddenly complained about Gao Lishi, and said in his heart that if it weren't for this old thing to eat inside and out and report to Kong Sheng, maybe he would ...... And it was done!

The old emperor's abrupt changes in expression, mood and psychological changes, how could he hide Chen Xuanli and others, and Gao Lishi was even more insightful. He has been by the old emperor's side all his life, and he knows this ruthless master who is stubborn and self-serving, and interests are supreme.

As soon as he thought of this, the sadness in Gao Lishi's heart was even more uncontrollable. "The slave and maid are gone, please take care of the dragon body of Your Majesty, and the slave and maid will knock farewell to Your Majesty!" He slammed his head three times, then got up and stumbled out of the hall.

Including the old emperor, everyone in Xingqing Palace looked at the lonely and sad back of Gao Lishi, and no one said a word.

Chen Xuanli sighed secretly, shook his head, and lowered his head. He said everything that should be said, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Yan Zhenqing turned his head. In my heart, Yan Zhenqing, these Qingliu celebrities, look down on the existence of eunuchs, even if Gao Lishi is a loyal person among the eunuchs, he actually does not have his due status. It is impossible for Yan Zhenqing to intercede for a eunuch.

Two tears slipped from the old emperor's cloudy old eyes, his hands were clenched, and his shoulders were trembling violently. The old emperor wanted to leave Gao Lishi several times, but he was not sure that he would save Gao Lishi's life, so what could he do if he was allowed to stay?

Kong Sheng's guards surrounded the main hall.

Kong Sheng and Li Mi slowly walked into the main hall and bowed to the old emperor who was sitting on the Dan Qi: "The ministers have seen the emperor!" ”

The corners of the old emperor's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand gloomily, but he didn't say anything. He knew what Li Mi and Kong Sheng were here for, and he was ready to bear it a long time ago.

Chen Xuanli, Yan Zhenqing and others saw that Kong Sheng actually brought armor into the palace to see the old emperor, and their faces changed. Kong Sheng's situation is obviously unusual, which may mean that the emperor's treatment of the old emperor is even harsher than they imagined.

"Li Mi, Kong Sheng, and others came to see me, what's the matter?" Although at this time, the old emperor still held the majesty and shelf of the Emperor Taishang, word by word, and maintained his due dignity and dignity.

Kong Sheng smiled and did not speak, and Li Yu came forward to answer. In his opinion, the old emperor clearly had a bit of a strong and inward-looking taste.

Li Mi's expression was calm: "Back to the emperor, the ministers and General Kong came to Xingqing Palace, mainly to read out His Majesty's edict. ”

The corners of the old emperor's mouth twitched.

"Your Majesty's dictation, please ask the Emperor Taishang to move to the Lishan Palace early tomorrow morning to recuperate. All eunuchs, palace maids, miscellaneous guards, etc., who belong to Xingqing Palace, will follow. General Chen Xuanli, Yan Zhenqing in the Imperial History...... Stay with the car. The palace of the Emperor Taishang recuperated, and it was forbidden by the forbidden army to stay in the palace. Li Mi didn't talk nonsense, and straightforwardly repeated the emperor's words in the original words.

The old emperor opened his mouth, and his face changed suddenly.

He thought a lot about the emperor's "cold treatment" of himself, but what he never expected was that the emperor would drive him out of the capital in such a hurry. Lishan Palace? What's that? It's okay to go on vacation and relax once in a while, and live in Sri Lanka all year round, so what's the difference between that and imprisonment? The old emperor Nuo is old, how can he be willing to leave the prosperous Chang'an City? When you go to the deep mountains and old forests, how can you still drink and enjoy singing and dancing?

The old emperor raised his hand and pointed at Li Mi, and said angrily: "Li Mi, you dare to deceive me like this!" ”

Li Mi smiled bitterly and bowed: "Emperor Taishang, how dare the minister?!" This is His Majesty's edict, and the minister is just being ordered to convey it! ”

Chen Xuanli felt a little cool in his heart on the side. He didn't know about the Xuanzheng Palace incident and never participated in it, but he was still implicated, but for Chen Xuanli, being closed in Chang'an City is actually similar to being under house arrest in Lishan Palace, and he has long given up the idea of interacting with the outside world, so although he feels uncomfortable, he can still accept it.

Only Yan Zhenqing became emotional.

He asked himself to be an old minister in the court, and he was also a model model for the scribes in the world, he had never violated the rules and regulations, he was loyal to the Li Tang royal family, and he had a sense of distress to the people of the world, and he was worried about the country and the people, and he could be called a good minister. However, the emperor sent him to the Lishan Palace, which made him a little unbearable.

But Yan Zhenqing couldn't question the emperor's decision, so he could only use the excuse to make trouble.

Yan Zhenqing strode out, and said in a deep voice to Li Mi and Kong Sheng with a dark face: "Li Xiang, Yan doesn't believe that this is His Majesty's will!" The Emperor Taishang is very old, how can he go to the deep palace of Lishan to withstand the wind and cold? His Majesty is the most benevolent and filial person, and it is impossible to put the Emperor Taishang in such a situation! It must be your Majesty's edict ...... falsely."

Li Mi's face darkened, and he said in his heart Yan Zhenqing, Yan Zhenqing, you can be regarded as an official all your life, why is your political mind so naïve, this kind of thing, the identity of the old man, and on this occasion, dare to fake the holy decree?

Of course, Li Yu also knew that Yan Zhenqing should be venting his dissatisfaction under the pretext of making it difficult. The so-called borrowing the topic to play is just messing around.

Li Mi also has some regrets about what happened to Yan Zhenqing and others, but there is no way, who has already labeled them as the old emperor - and in fact, they themselves are the old emperor's sworn henchmen, since they have the loyalty to support the old emperor, they should have the consciousness to withstand the emperor's suppression.

Li Mi said lightly: "Lord Yan, if you don't believe Li Mi's words, you can ask General Kong." Your Majesty said that if there is a disobedience and disobedience, it will be handed over to Shenlongwei to deal with the law, and it will not be tolerated! ”

Li Mi lightly kicked the ball to Kong Sheng, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines.

Kong Sheng was a little ridiculous, but he couldn't help but accept this trick, after all, this was one of his missions, and it was also the key to the emperor's letting him come to town.

Yan Zhenqing aimed his angry eyes at Kong Sheng.

In fact, Yan Zhenqing is half-true and half-false, and there are most elements of acting and deliberately making trouble. He looked at Kong Sheng coldly and said proudly: "General Kong is really a big show, he dares to bring armor into the palace to meet the emperor, so disrespectful, what should he be guilty of?" ”

Kong Sheng's expression was indifferent, and his expression was even more indifferent: "Lord Yan doesn't have to show off his tongue, Kong doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, in short, it is His Majesty's edict, if you are not convinced, Kong can give you a chance to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty to justify." But if you make a fuss here to disobey the order and obstruct Li Xiang from carrying out His Majesty's will, you will not blame Kong for turning his face and not recognizing anyone! ”

Yan Zhenqing was furious: "Shaft, dare you?!" ”

"Presumptuous! Kong Mou is the Marquis of Chang'an, the general of the third grade of Shence, and the governor of Shenlongwei, and the official of the fourth grade of Ru Yijie dares to speak wildly and humiliate the official? ! Kong Shengyang pointed his finger at Yan Zhenqing, and his voice was fierce: "If you dare to speak ill of each other, don't blame Kong for taking you down and putting you in prison!"

Kong Sheng immediately sneered: "Yesterday in the Xuanzheng Palace, it was Kong Moujie who led dozens of warriors to sacrifice their lives to save His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang, and like loyal ministers like Lord Yan, crying dad and shouting at his mother to run for his own life, what kind of face does Lord Yan have in front of Kong? ”

Kong Sheng didn't think much of himself, but Yan Zhenqing's posture of standing on the commanding heights and looking down on all beings with such a benchmark of truth and morality made him very unhappy.

Yan Zhenqing's face changed suddenly, and the colors of shame and embarrassment alternated, unable to hold on, and speechless. (To be continued.) )
