Cui's letter is not accurate, at least, it ignites those who used to only dare to whisper behind their backs, shake their heads and sigh. In the recital, Cui did not hide his identity as a daughter of the Yang family, and even confessed that he was arrogant and rude to King Guangping at the beginning, but when he finally mentioned the death of his husband, he was heartbroken and grief-stricken. I don't know who secretly copied her article from the political hall, and for a while, many officials in the three provinces and six ministries could even read it. Those words that are obviously not ghostwritten by masters, but come from the bottom of their hearts, naturally moved many people.

Therefore, when Gao Lishi went to the political hall to relay the message of the Son of Heaven, what he got was Pei Kuan's wry smile. Pei Kuan did not directly make a generous statement, but patted the tall stacks in front of him, and said lightly: "General Gao, Your Majesty can abolish a princess of Guangping, but there are a total of seventy or eighty grievances here, there are high-ranking officials like Shangshu Shilang, and turbidity currents like white-clothed officials, can they still be discarded one by one?" ”

Colliers knew that this was the result, and took a deep look at the mountains of notes, but in the end he remained silent. Before the rebels besieged Chang'an, he had already said all his heartfelt words, but Li Longji didn't listen. Now, he doesn't expect the Son of Heaven to become the wise king who humbly accepted advice in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Therefore, he even refused Pei Kuan's request to hand over a few volumes of music for him to take a good look at, took a step back and arched his hand, and then turned around and walked out.

"General Gao, if Your Majesty really refuses to give you an explanation, but since he has summoned Du Xiangguo back, he should also appoint a prince as soon as possible!" Pei Kuan hurriedly chased after him, and when he reached Gao Lishi's back, he whispered, "Since General Gao reluctantly returned to the palace again, I implore you to persuade Your Majesty to come back for the sake of the common people in the world!" ”

Pei Xiangguo thinks that His Majesty will admit that he mistakenly killed the crown prince and the king of Guangping, King Jianning? If that were the case, the last bit of prestige would be gone. For him, who is going to be strong all his life, how can he accept such a result? Gao Lishi didn't look back and said this sentence, and found that there was no answer behind him, only Pei Kuan's heavy breathing, and after a moment of silence again, he whispered, "Your Majesty has been in the world for forty years, and now you have suffered heavy setbacks one after another, not to mention that the more frustrated you are, the more courageous you are, but you will never give in, this is what I have followed Your Majesty for so many years of experience." ”

Until he left the political hall, Gao Lishi did not reveal a word about the people Li Longji had seen and said in the past few days. Because he knows the people he has seen, Dou Yi and Jiang Du, who guard the gate of the palace, also know, and what the Son of Heaven has said to people, he doesn't know, and the people involved will definitely not say it.

He has been dating Du Shiyi for decades, initially for Du Siwen's sake and Du Shiyi's generosity, but in addition, he has a good impression of Du Shiyi's style of dealing with people and things, so sometimes he even does not hesitate to violate his purpose of only icing on the cake and not giving charcoal. However, he has served Li Longji for decades, and it is even more impossible for him to betray the Son of Heaven.

He can only watch from the sidelines, and he can only watch from the sidelines.

Sure enough, when Gao Lishi returned to the Xingqing Hall of Xingqing Palace, he reported what he saw and heard to Pei Kuan without the slightest embellishment, and truthfully reported it to Li Longji, all he got was three words without the slightest emotion - I know. This is a very common situation between the two of them now, so he didn't have any mood fluctuations, and when he was about to retire, he was stopped by Li Longji.

"When you weren't there just now, the inner chamberlain sent a message that Yuan Siyi had been discovered and had been escorted back to Chang'an, and he was originally going to join the rebels! In addition, Li Jingren Lin recruited a few people, and also went to Jincheng County to ask for help, saying that he had been held hostage by rebels before. Speaking of these eunuchs who were deeply favored by him back then, Li Longji had mixed feelings in his heart, and when he saw that Gao Lishi raised his head slightly, his face did not change much, so he said in an aggravated tone, "In addition to them, there are also Chen Xilie and Da Xixun who were escorted over by Luoyang, how can I treat them badly, they all disregard the grace of the saint, and they are even officials who have been sealed by An Lushan!" Damn, all damn it! ”

When Li Longji said this, he was already furious. But the words asked by Gao Lishi made his face freeze suddenly.

"Your Majesty wants to make an example of a hundred, so that the officials and people in the world dare not have two hearts?"

"Yes and what? This Tang world is my world! ”

Thinking that Du Shiyi and Guo Ziyi jointly wrote a letter, and actually said that although Chen Xilieda Xi Xun had lost the minister's festival, but in order to quell the rebellion, please also be lightly dismissed, dismissed from the official position and demoted to a civilian, Li Longji roared angrily, seeing Gao Lishi bowed deeply, and the whole person looked as if he had bowed into a prawn, but he had no way to give birth to any satisfaction of being a human king.

He was already powerless against the court, even if he liked the feeling of everyone prostrating down the steps, he couldn't hold on to such a long court. Now Du Shiyi is back, but the battle situation in Hebei has not stagnated, several large armies that did not listen to his orders at all have been inserted into Hebei, and the rebels have been in a stalemate in several directions, but Du Shiyi has not won!

You must know that after Wang Chengye was driven back to Chang'an from Taiyuan Wolf Bèi, he once ran to him to cry and complain, and what he could say to this self-appointed envoy of Hedong Jiedu was only comfort, and he couldn't even make a decree to severely reprimand Cheng Qianli, because in the eyes of the vast majority of ministers in the court, counterinsurgency is the most important!

Li Longji slammed his fist on the armrest, and said word by word: "Since Du Junli has come back from the front in his busy schedule, I don't want to delay his efforts. Tomorrow, Chen Zheng summoned him to wait in front of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, and followed me to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion. ”

Cui's letter, the reactions of hundreds of officials one after another, and the countless sighs of the people for the death of the crown prince Li Heng...... Seeing that this wave was as high as a wave, like a tide, the offensive swept towards the Son of Heaven in the Xingqing Palace, and Du Shiyi, who rushed back to Chang'an to meet the "seriously ill" Son of Heaven, sat in Diaoyutai in the first two days after returning to Beijing, and did not even go to the political hall.

However, the military newspaper from the Hebei front line was sent here non-stop through those post stations that had been restored to operation, so he simply summoned a few former Muzuo to help deal with it, and he watched Xue Song and Li Huaiyu toss the Hebei sand table, and closed the door without leaving home.

And Du Youlin was also soaked in the Flying Dragon Stable, and he didn't even come back to meet Du Shiyi, who was a father. Du Xianhui brought her husband and daughter once, but she couldn't find out what was going on from her father's mouth, and she didn't stay long before the boss left unhappily. She is still like this, and it is even more difficult for others to see Du Shiyi when they visit her, and in the eyes of others, she naturally only thinks that Du Shiyi is thinking about the front line, and she doesn't want to get involved in the chaotic things in Chang'an.

When Gao Lishi came to the door of Du's house, he saw several people who had no choice but to go home. And the street, which was once full of traffic, is now empty. He came to the door with only two entourage, and said his identity directly, and the porter hurriedly smiled and sang a big song.

"General Gao, please, Xiangguo is studying."

When the few people who had just been stopped heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads in unison, and happened to see the scene of Gao Lishi entering the door. They didn't have the heart to turn around and reason with the porter, and after exchanging glances with each other, someone muttered in a low voice: "General Gao? Could it be that he was once in power and opposition? It was he who came to visit in person, could it be that His Majesty was finally going to see Xiangguo? ”

"We just want to be a pawn under Xiang Guo, I hope Xiang Guo will go back quickly, preside over the battle ahead, and don't stay in Chang'an to take care of these bullshit things!"

Gao Lishi used to see Du Shiyi, mostly in his own private house, or in the palace, and visited here very rarely. When he came to the study guarded by the tooth soldiers under the guidance of the servant, he only heard an extremely unfamiliar voice from inside: "Where did I say something wrong?" If An Lushan dies and An Qingxu steals his position, then he must rely on those who helped him design and do this, and at the same time find a way to wrest military power from those generals. After entering Hebei Province, Ji County is not conducive to holding on, but Ye County is different. This place has always been a battleground for soldiers, so he will definitely try his best to send reinforcements from Shi Siming's department! ”

"If he wants to adjust Shi Siming, he can move it? Li Huaiyu, you are still too tender, Shi Siming is An Lushan's brother, if he dares to say that he is the second in the Youyan army, then no one dares to claim to be the first! Don't look at Cai Xide, Cui Qianyou, Li Guiren, An Shouzhong, these are all known as generals, but if you really want to say that you are fierce in war, not afraid of death, and strict and brutal in governing the army, you can count Shi Siming! He will not obey An Qingxu, an incompetent person, this is the opportunity for our army to win! ”

Hearing the two people arguing here, Gao Lishi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open. Seeing that Du Shiyi was standing with his hands folded for a long time, he only bowed his head slightly at his arrival, while the middle-aged man and the young man who were arguing just now stared at him in dismay, and they all closed their mouths.

"Okay, you two step back first, continue to study the sand table well, when you convince each other, when will you come to see me again!" After sending Li Huaiyu and Xue Song away in a few words, Du Shiyi stepped forward and closed the door in person, and then looked at Gao Lishi and said, "General Gao is here, but His Majesty wants to see me?" ”

Gao Lishi narrowed his eyes slightly, and only after a while did he speak: "Junli, let me ask you one last time, so far, you have achieved fame, standing at the top, can't you take a step back when facing Your Majesty?" ”

"What do you mean, General Gao?" Du Shiyi raised her eyebrows and said without giving an inch, "The front is at the most critical juncture, but I still rushed back because of His Majesty's summons, is this not enough?" ”

"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Princess Guangping is just an ignorant woman, if it weren't for people, how dare she let her maid take her own music to beat the drum? Instead of such a thing, how could so many people follow the book to speak for the crown prince and the king of Guangping, King Jianning? Wang Chengye, as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, was expelled by Cheng Qianli and the Hedong soldiers, is this also accidental? ”

"General Gao is right, there are no accidents in this world, all accidents are just bound to be strung together." Du Shiyi didn't want to continue the debate with Gao Lishi, so she said bluntly, "In a simple sentence, it is because His Majesty planted one cause after another, so now he has reaped one fruit after another." ”

Colliers was speechless. He sighed, and then said bitterly: "Your Majesty has summoned you to wait in front of the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace tomorrow, and I want to go to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion with you." ”
