Meticulous and tolerant, this is the quality of many founding monarchs and many famous ministers, but as a eunuch, Gao Lishi has never lacked this.

From the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Li Longji began to really take power, Wang Mao Zhongfei Huang Tengda, until now you are the three divisions of Huo Guo's public mansion, a full eighteen years have passed in a flash. Gao Lishi secretly fought with Wang Maozhong more than ten times eight times, but failed repeatedly, the last time he thought he would win, but he also lost Qi Chao, who had always been with him. However, he was quite patient, because he had always regarded himself as a slave and maid in front of Li Longji, respectful and careful, and even if Wang Maozhong won the holy favor again, he would never be able to serve the king every day like him, so even if Wang Maozhong was suspicious of him because of Qi Chao, he still cried out to him in vain.

Because of this, when Wang Maozhong was happy to have a son again, and then had a big banquet and celebrated, he went to present the reward on behalf of the Son of Heaven in person, and gave Wang Maozhong, the youngest son, the rank of Wupin Wensan, because he drank too much wine and listened to too much flattery, Wang Maozhong, who was already a little unclear in his mind, actually drunkenly made wild remarks. He was silent in front of him, and immediately added fuel and vinegar to Li Longji after returning to the palace. He had long been suspicious of Wang Maozhong, and he was no more suspicious than Li Longji at the beginning, and he confirmed from the people next to him that this was the case, and he was very angry.

Xiao Song and Pei Guangting, the two prime ministers, the former was almost calculated by Wang Maozhong to lose the position of the secretary of the military department, and the latter hated Wang Maozhong for daring to frame himself and his relatives Pei, and their attitudes were conveyed to Gao Lishi by Li Linfu. Seeing that the Son of Heaven really couldn't tolerate Wang Maozhong's part, Gao Lishi no longer hid his backhand. After he pressed it for a few days before, Taiyuan Shaoyin Yan Tingzhi impeached Wang Mao Zhong for asking for the Northern Capital Armament Supervision Weapon, and was suddenly stabbed in front of the king. This is a serious situation that is far better than Wang Maozhong's rampant lawlessness before, and sure enough, after Li Longji summoned Xiao Song and Pei Guangting, the two prime ministers to discuss, naturally fell into the well at the same time.

Whether it is Pei Guangting or Xiao Song, the techniques of falling into the well are all ingenious to the extreme. The two tactfully pointed out the most important point by interceding for Wang Maozhong. Wang Maozhong has close contacts with many generals in the North Gate Forbidden Army, and Ge Fushun is still in-law, and the Son of Heaven needs to consider the consequences of moving the whole body, and it is better to forgive Wang Maozhong this time.

Because of this, when Wang Maozhong went to the court meeting early in the morning, he was immediately taken down and placed under house arrest in front of the Xingqing Palace. Immediately after, the magnificent Huo Guo Mansion in Xingning Fang was also surrounded by the Praetorian Guards. At the same time, Ge Fushun, Tang Diwen, Li Shoude, Wang Jingyao, Gao Guangji ...... One by one, the senior generals of the North Gate Forbidden Army were summoned to the palace, and then they were placed under house arrest, and Chang'an City shook for a while.

It must be known that compared with Jiang Jiao, who was to blame in the past, Wang Maozhong's favor is as good as that, since Li Longji Kaiyuan was in power, he has been the highest-ranking official in the Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions for fifteen years, except for Yao Song and the father of the abolished Wang family, there is only one Wang Maozhong. Just a few days ago, the Son of Heaven was still giving the fifth rank official when Wang Mao Zhong's youngest son was washing the third, why did he suddenly make a big move?

However, Wang Maozhong is arrogant and domineering, almost no one among the civil officials looks down on him, and among the military attachés, he has won all of them, such as Gao Lishi, these lieutenant officials, everyone hates him to the core, plus Wang Shouzhen also framed Concubine Wu Hui because of Liu Ximing's instigation, and the actual harem master hates it...... In the huge Chang'an City, there is no one who can really speak for him. In contrast, when Jiang Jiao was sent to Lingnan by the cane, there was always Du Shiyi who spoke up. Therefore, the two wives of Wang Maozhong, who had two wives and unparalleled honors, were placed under house arrest in the mansion.

After only one day of waiting, the Chinese book was drafted, the Son of Heaven approved it, and the book made by the door was delivered to this once famous mansion. Mrs. Guo Guo took the demeanor of the eldest woman and worshiped the book, and when she took it, she fell down and fainted. Mrs. Huo Guo Li on the side was startled when she saw this, but at stake in the lives of herself and her children, she couldn't care about that much, so she grabbed it and took a look, and she was also stunned for a while. Seeing Wang Shoudao, the eldest son of the eldest concubine on the side, looking at her with a worried face, thinking that he was so good that the head of the left prison gate was also implicated and was about to be degraded to Fuzhou to join the army, she only felt sad from her heart, and suddenly cried bitterly when she hugged her son.

When the Wang family was in chaos all of a sudden, Wang Maozhong, who had been under house arrest for a day and a night, was finally in uneasiness, waiting for someone he was familiar with. Although Colliers was still polite and smiling, he instinctively smelled a deep crisis. Therefore, he didn't say a word about the far derogation of the state officials, not even the job and so on, but roared fiercely: "I want to see Bixia What grievances, I have never had"

"General Wang said this late," Gao Lishi smiled, slowly stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "If you didn't use the means to ask Bixia for the post of secretary of the military department, if I went to Linglang on behalf of Bixia to award the five-rank Wensan official, you didn't drunken say that your son couldn't be a third-grade official...... Or, if you hadn't forced Xiao Xiangguo to resign from the Ministry of War, and Pei Xiangguo had to break his wrist and force his own people to death, otherwise you would have been charged with murdering an officer, and you might not have come to this day."

Although the first few were shocked and angry, Wang Maozhong was suddenly startled. Almost instinctively, he stretched out his hand to grab it at Colliers, but for a day and a night, the rice did not drip, and he had no strength and grabbed a void. He could only stare at Gao Lishi with resentful eyes, and asked in a hoarse throat, "What is the plot to kill the imperial court officials?" ”

"I forgot that this is not the first time General Wang has done such a thing. When Du Junli returned to Chang'an from Luoyang to Jingzhao Mansion to try, didn't Ling Lang once direct a good show with Liu Ximing of the Liu family in Hedong? You don't have to admit it, those soldiers of Yulinwei are dead, and they can't rely on you. But you shouldn't have allowed your son to send someone to Daizhou to make trouble for Du Junli this time, and even colluded with some insatiable local people in order to murder Du Junli again. Because of this, Pei Xiangguo was furious, plus Xiao Xiangguo, you are pushing yourself into the fire pit."

Wang Maozhong suddenly only felt a loud bang in his head, and he didn't even have the strength to scold his son, and he didn't even notice that Gao Lishi left triumphantly. Even if he knew that he had come to this point, this matter was not the most critical, but Xiao Song's attitude and Pei Guangting's attitude undoubtedly became a straw that broke the camel's back

He was always tough, and he couldn't help but slam his head against the wall, hating and regretting for a while, but who would have thought that the voice of Colliers came from the window next to him.

"By the way, General Haojiao Wang learned that Bixia has a life, and he will select the relatives and guards to escort you to your post and leave in the afternoon. You don't have to harm yourself, otherwise those guards will be forced by the holy order to tie you to the back of a horse, and they will also let you leave Chang'an quickly."

When Gao Lishi saw Wang Maozhong return to Nanxun Hall to restore his life, he found that Li Longji was standing in front of the throne with his hands in his hands, staring blankly at the carving on the screen behind him. Gao Lishi didn't look at it and knew that it was a picture of civil and military heroes carved by Li Longji himself after Li Longji really took charge of the government at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Now, Liu Youqiu, Wang Ju, Jiang Jiao, Wang Shouyi and others have long been ancient, and Zhang Shuo, a minister who has won the heart of the Son of Heaven, has also been retired at home, and it is said that his physical condition is getting worse. And those prime ministers at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, except for Song Jingyuan Qianyao, almost all the rest died. Thinking of this, he had a number in his heart about how to recover his life

"What did Wang Maozhong say?"

"Returning to Bixia, General Wang burst into tears and kowtowed to apologize, saying that he should not live up to the grace of God." Seeing Li Longji's melancholy expression, Gao Lishi lowered his head and said, "General Wang also said that he is willing to be a pawn in the army and atone for his sins, hoping that Bixia will allow it." ”

Hearing that Wang Maozhong was guilty of his guilt, Li Long was basically slightly moved by compassion, but when he heard that Wang Maozhong wanted to serve in front of the army, his expression tightened. Jiang Jiao was to blame because he wanted the matter of the abolition of the land to be detected in advance, and it was all over the publicity, he couldn't get off the stage, and he wanted to save his reputation, so he had to take Jiang Jiao to blame. But this time he took down Wang Maozhong, but it was because the North Gate Forbidden Army was about to be surnamed Wang, and Wang Maozhong, played by Taiyuan Shaoyin Yan Tingzhi, asked for a battle, which he absolutely couldn't bear

Therefore, he immediately hardened his heart and said coldly: "Pass the order and let the guards escort Wang Mao Zhong to set off immediately." One hundred and sixty miles a day, no less than that."

Wang Maozhong's family, who was watched by the guards and couldn't go out and didn't know the news from the outside world, didn't even have time to meet Wang Maozhong, and learned that Wang Maozhong had been escorted to Yongzhou, and at the same time, Wang Maozhong's four sons, who were demoted, were also urged to go on the road. Even if Guo Shi, the wife of the Kingdom of Qiu, who was holding his eldest son Wang Shouzhen and his second son Wang Shoulian, even if she cried and grabbed the ground, she couldn't stop the reality that the two were taken away immediately. And also watching his son Wang Shoudao being taken away, Huo Guo's wife Li had an indescribable panic in her heart.

To say that it is just a demotion to an official, not an exile, but how can the Son of Heaven take people away so urgently seems to be more severe than exile?

In a hurry, Wang Shouzhen, who was demoted to the state household, only brought an entourage Xiao Guang, and he didn't even have time to sort out his clothes, so he was taken out of the palace as if he was escorted. However, as soon as he got out of Chang'an Mingde Gate and went to the official road, he finally came to his senses in a daze, and for a while Le Ma stopped and shouted to the left and right: "I am a degraded official, not exiled, are you treating me as a prisoner?" ”

"If you are exiled, if the prisoner rides a horse, you only need to travel seventy miles a day, and now although you are a degraded official, but the saint ordered that the daily itinerary should not be less than one hundred and sixty miles, and we are already lenient with Wang Gongzi" The officer who was the leader burst out with a smile and burst out such a sentence, seeing that Wang Shouzhen was suddenly furious, he actually lifted the horsewhip and hit himself, he only laughed, and after giving way to the sideways, he grabbed his horsewhip and swung it sharply, it was actually Wang Shouzhen's wrist, and he couldn't pinch the horsewhip anymore when he saw his miserable howl, The whole person almost fell off the horse, and he smiled coldly.

"When death is on the verge of death, do you dare to play tricks?"

Seeing that the young master was so unwise, Xiao Guang secretly complained to himself for a while. But it was all the more important to have nothing to take himself out at the moment, and his eyes were suddenly turning to find an excuse to leave the group, but the officer's eyes suddenly turned to him.

"Whip the guards, for the sake of the saint's explicit order, spare you once and drag his entourage slave off his horse and give him forty lashes as a punishment."

Seeing that the two guards dragged themselves off the horse, and then dragged them behind the bushes, and saw the whip raised high, Xiao Guang was not possessed for a while, but at this time, a reminder came from his ears.

"Why don't you hurry up and beg for mercy?"

Xiao Guang was stunned for a moment, until the whistling whip sounded, but it was the bush next to him, he suddenly woke up, hurriedly begged for mercy and cried out for pain, and after some play, the guard who was holding the whip just now smiled at him, and then walked away with another person. Through the bushes, he could only hear the whip guard replying nonchalantly: "This slave has broken his strands and back, and he can't get on the road, so let him fend for himself here."

Wang Shouzhen didn't expect that he was just angry for a while, but he couldn't whine his anger, but he not only let himself be whipped, but also let the only slave he brought out was beaten to death. By the time everyone gathered around him again, his mind was blank and he couldn't think about what the future would hold.

Penniless, not even a change of clothes, not a single slave to follow, what should he do?

And when Xiao Guang staggered out of the bushes, the group in the distance had long since disappeared. Although he didn't understand too much why these guards who didn't take Wang Shouzhen seriously at all would let him go, but now it is important to find a good place to hide. It must be known that this time the matter is urgent, he was trapped in the palace and lost contact with the outside world, if it weren't for Wang Shouzhen completely losing his square inch and pulling him by his side every day, he was able to follow out this time, I am afraid he would still be trapped inside and unable to move. To say that he is not a slave of the Wang family, nor is he given by the government, he was bought by Wang Shouzhen, as for how to gain a firm foothold and gain favor

That was ordered by others, and he worked hard to endure some hardships, but his family was able to live a good life

Originally, there were a lot of people coming and going on this official road, but because Wang Shouzhen's line of work was too fastidious, others deliberately slowed down so as not to cause trouble. So, when Xiao Guang was in a worried mood, dragging heavy steps, turning back and heading back to Chang'an, it didn't take long for him to see a few riders galloping towards this side, he lowered his head and was about to turn sideways to make way, when suddenly he only heard a voice overhead.

"Xiao Guang"

"Huh?" Xiao Guang suddenly raised his head, and found that there was a vaguely familiar face in front of him, he was suddenly surprised, and then waited until another servant-like big man brought an empty mount, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward and climbed on the back of the horse. When he looked at the man who was the leader again, he suddenly realized that he was the benefactor who had provided for his mother and sister and sent him to the palace

"Good boy, if I hadn't kept an eye on it, you would have to go to Shizhou to suffer your aunt and sister, I have already settled in Weinan County, Huazhou, you should go and reunite with them earlier"

Speaking of which, Wu Jiu was very satisfied with his arrangement. Can I be regarded as doing what Du Shiyi ordered, and I can't cross the river and tear down the bridge in everything?
