Wang Mao Zhong, who was once extremely promising, died and became famous, and all his henchmen were sent to Lingnan and other places to serve as other officials, and his sons were all degraded to distant places, such an ending was just a ruthless method of secretly awe-inspiring the Son of Heaven to kill decisively and disregarding, and for the military ministers, they had to be vigilant that they could not sit on the old merit book and get carried away, but for the eunuchs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although Gao Lishi has long been the general of the right prison guard, although Yang Siqiao has long been the general of the auxiliary country, the real power of the forbidden army is in the hands of those Tang and Yuan heroes, but now Wang Maozhong, Ge Fushun and others are gone, and the rest such as Chen Xuanli are all old and idle and do not compete with others, and they gently and skillfully included the real elite of this arch guarding the forbidden palace. Gao Lishi is far from having such a prominent military exploit as Yang Siqiao, but he can't help but have a closer relationship with Li Longji, and now this tide is rising, and there are countless people who cling to him in the civil and military forces, but compared to Wang Maozhong's complacency back then, he still rarely returns to the magnificent imperial mansion.

Gao Lishi clearly knew that his foundation was all in the Son of Heaven, and if he did not have the trust and reliance of the Son of Heaven, he would just be one of the many eunuchs in the inner palace.

Because of this, even though he is no longer the eunuch who needs to do everything, he still takes care of Li Longji's daily life and diet, and spends a lot of time in front of the palace every day. In this way, Li Longji, who had a little worry about handing over all the forbidden troops to the eunuchs, and from time to time remembered the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants in the Han Dynasty, gradually became relieved, but felt that it was a wise move for him to take down Wang Maozhong.

In the evening of this day, when Gao Lishi stayed in front of the imperial palace until Li Longji went to Concubine Wu Hui after dinner, he returned to the Inner Servant Province. As soon as he sat down, he saw a little eunuch probing his brain, and immediately called someone in angrily, but when he asked, he learned that it was Mai Xiong, the housekeeper of Xingningfang's own mansion, who sent someone to inform him that there was something at home, and he couldn't help but be surprised. His biological mother Mai has passed away, Mai Xiong is the nephew of Mai, he is deeply trusted, knowing that this person will not be disturbed by trivial matters, he left a letter for Yang Siqiao, and returned to the private house before the palace gate was under the key. But when he saw the big bag of things in the study, he became suspicious again.

"That's what you're asking me to come back for?"

"Yes, Jia Weng, this is sent by Governor Du Shi of Daizhou for thousands of miles to be sent urgently."

Hearing Mai Xiong's explanation, Gao Lishi immediately opened the baggage with three strokes and five divided by two, and when he saw the thick stack of folds, he couldn't help but be even more puzzled. After checking them one by one, he raised his head again and asked Mai Xiong, "Does Du Changshi have a letter?" ”

"Yes, it's in the copper cylinder next to it."

Only then did Gao Lishi notice the copper cylinder next to him with a bit of patina. Scratching the wax seal with his fingernails and taking out a roll of paper inside, he glanced at it and immediately stared. Although he has always been moody in front of people, he couldn't help but be angry at this moment, and slapped the bookcase in front of him, which made Mai Xiong caught off guard and was taken aback. However, Gao Lishi reacted immediately, raised his head and glanced at Mai Xiong, and then lightly ordered: "Go out and guard." ”

Although they are still relatives in the final analysis, Gao Lishi was kidnapped by the army when he was a child, sent to the palace as a slave, and then was expelled from the palace again to become the adopted son of other eunuchs, and even changed the surname of his ancestors. As soon as he left, Gao Lishi read the letterhead in his hand with a cold face, and finally sneered angrily.

Du Shiyi gave him a heavy gift, and he also found out that the Son of Heaven really just wanted to teach Yu Wenrong a lesson, so he took the opportunity to mention it, so that the Son of Heaven finally gave an amnesty edict with all the punishments below the prison sentence, but Yu Wenrong didn't even reach Yanzhou, and he had already died on the way. If it's really bad luck, it's just that, Yuwenrong was obviously infected on the way, and he returned to Guangzhou to recuperate, but he was forced to be caught on the road by Geng Renzhong, the governor of Guangzhou, Li Longji was still talking about the lack of treasury a few days ago, Yuwenrong's death, wouldn't it become useless for him to do so many things?

"These people who only care about party strife and ignore the overall situation deserve to die"

After losing his temper, Gao Lishi finally understood that it was useless to get angry at this time, so he settled down and slowly browsed the manuscript of Yu Wenrong during his stay in Lingnan forwarded by Du Shiyi, as well as the recital that he did not have time to present to the imperial front. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that it was a pity that this person died, but at the end, he suddenly realized that Du Shiyi was able to get Yu Wenrong's manuscript in such a short period of time, and it was by no means as simple as Yu Wenrong entrusted.

"Didn't Du Junli send someone to accompany Yu Wenrong? If this is the case, he is really benevolent and righteous, and he is giving gifts to beg me to turn around, and he is sending people to accompany him, and he has made several recommendations before to accommodate Yu Wenrong's family...... Not to mention, now he has sent Yu Wenrong's posthumous manuscript to me, and he also said that he has sent another transcription to the Duke of Guangping County. When the news of Yu Wenrong's death reaches the Imperial Palace, I'll do it for him."

The news of Yu Wenrong's death spread from Yanzhou to the Imperial Palace, two months after his death, that is, ten days after Du Shiyi sent his posthumous manuscript to Gao Lishi. First, he is no longer an official of the imperial court, and secondly, because of the various concerns of the local magistrates, it is naturally not as good as Chibi and Yuwenrong's eldest son Yuwenrong After dealing with the funeral, he rushed from Yanzhou to Daizhou almost sleeplessly, and then Du Shiyi sent messengers from Daizhou to Chang'an. Therefore, on this day, when Gao Lishi sent the fold that needed to be sent to Li Longji, he deliberately put the news of Yu Wenrong's death at the top. Sure enough, Li Longji was shocked and angry when he saw it.

"At the end of last year, Yuwen Rongliu Yanzhou, and now he actually submitted a document saying that he died of illness, what is going on

"Everyone's angry." Gao Lishi did not have any substantive comfort, and then said softly, "His death is at the end of the first month, and it has been two months now. ”

"At the end of the first month, he died at the end of the first month, could it be that the escorts abused him halfway, or did other people assassinate him?"

Li Longji's extension was immediately endlessly suspicious. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more annoyed he became, and when he went to Zuihou and threw it to the ground, he was furious. Seeing the expression of the Son of Heaven like this, Gao Lishi said in a low voice: "I picked out this piece of music, and it was originally pressed at the bottom. In fact, if it weren't for today's Daizhou Du Changshi ordering someone to send Yu Wenrong's posthumous manuscript to Beijing, I wouldn't have paid attention to this news. ”

"Du Junli? How could Yu Wenrong's posthumous manuscript be in his hands? Li Longji frowned.

"Everyone, Du Junli sent a henchman to accompany Yu Wenrong to Lingnan, and took care of him in many ways along the way, so Yu Wenrong had a safe journey in Zhaozhou before, you know, with his five servants in Lingnan, three ran on the way." Seeing that Li Longji was obviously very angry with those disloyal people, Gao Lishi added fuel and vinegar to make Yuwenrong sick on the way from Zhaozhou to Yanzhou, and transferred to Guangzhou to try to recuperate, but was forced by Geng Renzhong, the governor of Guangzhou, and had to turn around again and set off for Yanzhou.

"Okay, it's good, Zhang said that he was dead, and now Yu Wenrong is also dead"

As soon as Li Longji thought of the previous Hubu Du Zhi Zhi copying people on his back, Pei Yaoqing, the head of the Hubu Army, who was still overstretched even though he was capable, and the others were making waves with his anger at Yu Wenrong, he only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart. However, Gao Lishi did not mean to continue to burn this fire, but said softly at the right time: "Do you want to see Yu Wenrong's posthumous manuscript?" ”

"At your place?"

"Yes, in duplicate, one copy for me and one copy for the Guangping County Princess, all of which were transcribed by Du Junli himself, for fear that the original manuscript would be lost on the road. The prince of Guangping County has already been presented, and it seems that Du Junli really wants to seek justice for Yuwenrong. ”

Hearing that Song Jing also got it, Li Longji immediately understood. He didn't care who sent it to him, and took the thick manuscript and quickly flipped through it. Just from the huge number of words in the copywriting, he could see how much effort Yuwenrong had put in, and he was still a little unclear about those highly professional financial terms. Seeing Zuihou, he threw the manuscript on his desk, pondered for a while, and then said, "Send someone to Daizhou and bring back Yu Wenrong's original manuscript." Even though Yu Wenrong is guilty, he has a merit for the country after all, not to mention, I originally planned to continue to use him. ”

When he said this, Li Longji was really a little distressed, but soon, he temporarily pressed down this lingering chagrin: "First give these transcripted manuscripts to Pei Yaoqing, the household servant." And then...... Decree in the book province, the proposed purpose, posthumously presented Yuwen Rong as the history of Taizhou Thorn"

Although Taizhou Thorn Shi was not a high-ranking official, Yu Wenrong was once a prime minister, but before that, he was just a streamer. When such a meaning was conveyed to Zhongshu Province, Zhongshu really surprised Xiao Song, and immediately recruited Pei Kuan, a member of Zhongshushe. In the face of such an unbelievable order, Pei Kuan said indifferently: "Since Bixia remembered the old love and posthumously gifted Yuwenrong, Xiangguo and him have no personal enmity, so it is necessary to draft the purpose according to Bixia's meaning." On the contrary, this order is to be issued from under the door, I don't know what kind of expression Pei Xiangguo will have when he sees this."

Xiao Song immediately came to his senses, and immediately nodded knowingly: "You are right, Yu Wenrong is neither early nor late, but he died before the amnesty edict arrived in Lingnan, I think there is always someone who needs to be responsible."

Pei Kuan, a member of the Zhongshu House, wrote a wonderful pen, and soon, the order to posthumously gift Yu Wenrong arrived in Menxia Province. Sure enough, as Pei Kuan expected, although Yuwenrong and everyone were dead, in the face of this posthumous order to give him the history of Taizhou, Pei Guangting only felt that it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly. And what made him even more difficult to let go was whether the Son of Heaven suspected that this matter was his own handiwork. Knowing that the Son of Heaven must have a grudge in his heart, he naturally would not set up any more obstacles for this decree, and when he was sure that this decree would be issued after the court meeting the next day, he had no choice but to invite Li Linfu to his private house again in the evening of that day.

"I've heard about it."

Although it has not been a day or two since he was estranged from Yu Wenrong, Li Linfu's ears and eyes are among the best in Chang'an City. Therefore, he said unhurriedly, "This matter is caused by Geng Renzhong, the governor of Guangzhou, and Bixia will be annoyed, and it will be sent to his head on another day." Moreover, Zhang Jiuling is the governor of Guizhou and the envoy of Lingnan Province, whether it is Yanzhou or Zhaozhou, all of them are his subordinates. Originally, we haven't done it before, so why bother to carry the black pot for others? ”
