Xiao Qubing rode on a horse, and the little red horse's hooves flew like flying, galloping towards Huaqing Palace like a red lightning on the white official road around him.

Rao is a little red horse is such a miracle horse, but he was delayed in Chang'an City for nearly an hour, and when Xiao Qu arrived at Huaqing Palace, he was still almost half an hour later than Wang Ji and Li Linfu.

Greeting him at the gate of the palace was Sun Liu.

Seeing Xiao Quai's illness flying over, Sun Liu hurriedly greeted him, and said anxiously: "Fuchen, why did you come, Wang Ji and they have all arrived at two o'clock!" ”

Xiao Quzhi jumped off the horse, took off the strong crossbow, handed the reins and two silver coins to a small eunuch next to Sun Liu, and said, "Please help me take me for a walk, collect the sweat, and brush the hair again." After settling the little red horse, Xiao Qu was sick and pulled Sun Liu to ask as he walked: "Brother Sun, what's the situation?" ”

Sun Liu whispered in his ear: "General Gao wants me to tell you, saying that His Majesty was shot by Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Servant (Li Linfu), and Zuo Xiang The three of them have been arguing for a long time, and they are already quite impatient, and they are ready to turn this matter into a small matter, and I want you to be mentally prepared in advance." ”

"Gao Weng?" Xiao Quai's illness is a little strange, why does Gao Lishi help himself so much. He believes that there is no such thing as hate without a reason in this world, and there is no love without a reason.

Linghu Liuyun and Yue Mufeng helped them because the Maoshan Louguan faction wanted to learn the cultivation method from them, but Wu Yun and Xiao Xuanyu were embarrassed to speak directly, so the two of them each sent the next most proud disciple to Xiao Quai's helper. Before this, Mu Fengliuyun and the two of them vaguely expressed this meaning, with such a good thing, Xiao Quzhi naturally would not refuse.

In the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism and Taoism were parallel, especially during the Tang Xuanzong period, Taoism was faintly the head of the three religions, and even Confucian students like Du Fu went to visit the Tao many times. No way, who told Emperor Li to believe in Taoism. Therefore, Taoism was a very strong force at this time, and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty was led by the Louguan School and the Maoshan School. Being able to get the help of the Louguan faction and the Maoshan faction has almost won the support of the entire Taoist community, not to mention that the kung fu of Hu Liuyun and Yue Mufeng is not bad, so why not do it for themselves.

But Gao Lishi helped himself so much, which made Xiao Quai's illness a little incomprehensible for a while. Could it be that Colliers is optimistic about himself? Immediately shook his head again, Gao Lishi is cautious by nature, well-behaved and smart, he is the most trusted person and the most popular person in Tang Xuanzong, even if he is optimistic about himself, he can't please himself.

Xiao Quai's mind was racing, and he soon roughly guessed Gao Lishi's thoughts, he was not helping himself, but worrying about Li Longji.

Compared with Li Longji, who did not think about politics and politics in his later years, he was drunk and dreamed of death, but Gao Lishi has always maintained a clear mind. He has a clear understanding of state affairs and the ministers of the DPRK and China. He was drunk with Li Longji's life and death, and completely entrusted state affairs to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong, two traitorous ministers, and he saw An Lushan in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Colliers has taken the opportunity to advise Li Longji many times. For example, when Li Longji entrusted the affairs of the world to Li Linfu, Gao Lishi once said: "...... (Moreover) there is no dummy in the world, and who dares to speak (who can restrain him) when the authority is established! ”

Another example is Yang Guozhong's lying about the military situation and Li Longji's great favor for An Lushan, Gao Lishi also reminded: "I heard that our army has fought several defeats in Yunnan. The soldiers of the north are fierce and powerful. Does Your Majesty have any good plan to subdue them for these side affairs? I'm really afraid that I won't be able to stop it. ”

Another example is that later (referring to ten years after Tianbao), Yang Guozhong controlled the government and found an ear full of rice to deceive Li Longji and said: "Although there is a lot of rain, it will not harm the crops." Li Longji lied to himself in his heart, and later couldn't help but ask Gao Lishi again. Gao Lishi said: "Since Your Majesty handed over the power of the government to Prime Minister Yang, the rewards and punishments are disorderly, and the yin and yang are out of balance, can things in the world be safe?" I can only judge the situation and keep silent. ”

However, Li Longji did not listen to Gaolishi's advice once. Li Longji's reaction to Li Linfu's remarks was that the emperor was displeased, so Gao Lishi had to kneel down and plead guilty: "The heart is crazy, and the words are wrong, and you deserve to die." In the latter two remarks, Li Longji adopted an attitude of avoiding problems and deceiving himself.

Although the Gu Sui incident has not happened yet, Gao Lishi should have seen Li Longji's current state more clearly, that is, he can pretend to be confused and get by, just deal with the affairs of the government and politics, and I still have to pursue pleasure and longevity, and Yang Guifei Qingqing and me.

Gao Lishi is a shrewd and cautious person, although he is worried that the state affairs will become out of control when he sees Li Longji like this, so he is anxious, but he will not keep talking in front of Li Longji. Li Longji was angry, so he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, Li Longji avoided the question, and he didn't bother to say more. Do not disobey the emperor, self-preservation is the first place in Gaolis.

Xiao Quzhi thought to himself, maybe it was his determination to report to Li Longji that time, and his enterprising and well-planned performance made Colliers feel different, right? In addition, sometimes after accompanying Li Longji to fight boxing, he told him some foreign anecdotes, and once talked about how Western Rome perished, Gao Lishi should have heard the meaning of Xiao Quai's words so cleverly.

Xiao Quzhi thought to himself that if this is the case, this Gao Lishi is worth making friends with and can be used as an Olympic aid. I don't need him to help himself, just report a letter and say something at a critical time, or even say two good words in front of Li Longji, which is the greatest help.

Sun Liu nodded, and Xiao Quzhi asked again, "Do you know why Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji is hostile to me?" I don't even know him. ”

Sun Liu blinked and whispered: "It's not your errand that made trouble, listen to General Gao, before you came to Chang'an, Your Majesty was going to hand over the matter of the Anxi Army's increase in troops and immigration to the river to Wang Jie?" Now that it's given to you, of course he holds a grudge. Don't you know, after Wang Ji gained power, he has always been domineering, and he doesn't even pay attention to us. and his younger brother, that son, is even more lawless. ”

"Ah, there's still that." Xiao Quzhi sneered. He really didn't know about the previous things, but he knew everything about Wang Jie's younger brother and son arrogantly causing trouble to Wang Jie. Wang Jie's son and younger brother relied on Wang Jie's momentum and were arrogant to the point of almost being brain-dead.

Wang Zhun, the son of Wang Jie, even Li Linfu's son, had to bully, and led a group of gangsters to hang out and meet a horse captain, who knelt on the ground to salute him, and he also used a slingshot to shoot people's hats and crowns, and break people's hostas for fun. Doing this kind of thing that offends people and does not do you the slightest benefit to yourself, isn't it brain-dead? Listening to Sun Liu's meaning, it seems that Wang Jie, a brainless son, has bullied him.

Wang Jie's younger brother Wang Jian was even more arrogant enough to want to be emperor, and also conspired with Xing Wei, the head snake of Chang'an, to launch a coup d'état. In another time and space, four months later, Wang Ji was implicated by his younger brother and collapsed.

Xiao Qu thanked Sun Liu for waiting and reminding, the two stopped talking, and hurried all the way to the hall where Li Longji was. On the road, I met Yang Guifei's two personal palace maids, probably waiting there on purpose, and both of them were startled when they saw Xiao Quai's appearance.

Li Longji probably did wait impatiently, and was relieved at first to see Xiao Quai's illness enter the hall, but then he was greatly surprised, and the other four ministers were also stunned.

Li Longji couldn't help but be surprised, Xiao Quai's impression in his impression has always been out of the dust, his spirit is flying, and his eyes are as bright as stars. That complexion, that look, made Li Longji feel jealous every time. But now what he saw Xiao Quzhi was haggard and tired, his eyes were dull, and his face was frighteningly pale, just like when he went out in the morning.

Originally, he was still a little angry with Xiao Quai, as the emperor, Xiao Qubing was still the first person to make him wait for a long time. But now, as soon as he saw Xiao Quai's appearance, this anger suddenly disappeared, and he became a little guilty.

Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, and Chen Xilie were stunned, but they saw the military crossbow in Xiao Quai's hand. As for Wang Jie, he was not only stunned, but also weak-hearted.

Xiao Qubing didn't say anything, in the surprise and astonishment of everyone, Xiao Qubing slowly walked to Li Longji and knelt down, put the military horn bow and crossbow with three stones and seven buckets next to him, and then was silent.

Li Longji was stunned, and Wang Jie, Li Linfu and others were also stunned. In the Tang Dynasty, under normal circumstances, it was not necessary to kneel and worship, unless it was to receive a holy decree and other big bows, and at other times, both the ministers and the people saw the emperor and made a move.

At first, Wang Ji and Li Linfu thought that Xiao Qu would complain to the emperor as soon as he came in. They had already prepared a set of rhetoric, and with Chen Xilie's help, Xiao Quai's illness had no evidence, and he couldn't say anything about them. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qu didn't say anything as soon as he came in, just bowed to the ground and couldn't kneel. This has only one meaning, to show that he is very wronged.
