In the midst of such suspicion, Gao Lishi actually came to the Tang Dynasty in person and came to his Zhongnan Tang Mansion, with more than a dozen retinues, purple ribbons, and the uniforms of first-class officials

"Grandpa Gao, what kind of wind blew you here, please come in?" Tang Chao hurriedly greeted him, and Tang Dynasty had to be very humble to himself, his top boss.

Gao Lishi leisurely stepped off the carriage, walked into his Zhongnan mansion, praised it, and came to the living room with the Tang Dynasty, the maid sent a little fragrant tea, and retreated, Gao Lishi took a shallow sip of tea, and said: "This is Nanzhao's Pu'er tea, good tea, good tea!" ”

Tang Dynasty didn't know what his purpose was here, so he had to be humble, and then instructed the special letter: "Special housekeeper, go get some good Pu'er tea, put it on the Gao Gong bus, and bring it back later!" ”

A smile appeared on Gao Lishi's face: "Then thank you, Lord Tang!" Actually, I came this time, it was the emperor's intention, the emperor wanted to have a good talk with you, this sitting is just a messenger, but thinking that the Tang Dynasty is my subordinate, there are some words, I still have to tell you in advance, so as not to answer the emperor's intentions, and hinder your future! ”

"Father-in-law Xie Gao!" The Tang Dynasty squatted on one leg and immediately gave a deep salute to Gaolis.

Gao Lishi hurriedly lifted him up, and his expression was very kind: "Lord Tang, what happened that day, the emperor asked me to bring the palace guards to your house to get the 'Pegasus Tayan', which originally asked me to copy your house, but I think that the relationship between you and me is very good, for so long, you have always listened to my Gao Lishi, so the net is open, but now, in addition to the emperor's reward, you really have a lot of gold and silver in your family?" ”

"Yes, Gonggong Xie Gao's subordinates are merciful!" I was also angry in my heart, how could I put away the bribes, and I was unrelenting?

I only listened to Gao Lishi: "Lord Tang, to tell you the truth, there are so many people in the court, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed, when you receive the gift, how long a heart, I came in on purpose, and I want to tell you this is the case, and, after meeting the emperor, what does the emperor ask, you have to answer truthfully, the emperor is a very smart person, if you are not careful, no one can save you?" ”

"Yes, thank you for your care!" When he said this, the silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver had already arrived in Gao Lishi's hand, Gao Lishi pretended to excuse himself twice, and then accepted it and said goodbye, but urged the Tang Dynasty: "You change into court clothes, this"

Where did the Tang Dynasty still have so many silver tickets in their hands?

In fact, during the Six Dynasties, Lingnan has been prolific in gold and silver, the Fang and Yi people live together, and gradually become rich, and the cave owners have gradually supported the army and self-respect, to the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan has been used silver, gold and silver mine cave owners have become a prince, and the Tang court has a huge contradiction, war, repeated prohibitions, Kaiyuan years, Zhang Jiuling governance of Lingnan, is because of the way to make money, Li Longji will promote him from a festival to the prime minister, although there is a value for his ability, but good at making money, It is also an important weight.

In the Tianbao years, the process of silver monetization intensified, and gradually appeared "Jiaozi", that is, the silver ticket mentioned above, however, the name changed, the Tang Dynasty was rewarded by Li Longji twice, a total of 2,000 taels of gold, and after coming back, he had already called the letter to take it and replaced it with "Jiaozi", so as to facilitate the use of gifts.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty had already worshiped the heavyweight ministers of the court almost next to each other, but two thousand taels of gold was more than enough for gifts, and there were not a few gifts received by the Tang Dynasty, so now he took out 10,000 taels of silver, which is not a difficult matter.

At that moment, the Tang Dynasty hurriedly changed into court clothes, straightened his clothes in the bronze mirror, came to the door, sat in the carriage of the letter, and went to the Daming Palace.

It was noon, the spring sun was already a little powerful, and a premature child in the imperial garden was singing lazy songs, and a bush of peony flowers was fluttering with many butterflies.

Li Longji met Tang Dynasty by the spring full of butterflies, with a smile on his face, watching Tang Dynasty approach step by step.

As soon as he arrived at Li Longji's side, Tang Chao was about to bow down, but the elderly emperor stopped him: "No courtesy, no need!" ”

During this time, the Tang Dynasty also gradually figured out the personality of Li Longji, he spoke neatly, he didn't like to drag mud and water, he called himself not to worship, it was better not to worship, if he ignored his words and worshipped, naturally he wouldn't

Condemn your own sin, but you must think in your heart that you are too pedantic.

At that moment, the obedient only made a gesture, and then said, "Emperor Xie." ”

Li Longji looked at Tang Dynasty and said with a smile: "Tang Dynasty, you can kill a lot, but do you know, why didn't I kill you?" ”

"I don't know." Tang Chao's legs were a little flashy, but he didn't really bow down.

Li Longji looked at the expression on his face interestingly, and suddenly smiled: "Because, I did it on purpose, haha!" ”

"What, why is the emperor, why?" Tang Chao's voice trembled a little.

Gao Lishi was by the side of the Tang Dynasty, and when he heard this, he was also shocked, and I also felt strange, it stands to reason that such a person in the Tang Dynasty was killed, why did the emperor forgive him again and again, it turned out that the emperor did it on purpose, but why did he do it? Only the dust in his hand keeps swinging.

Li Longji laughed for a while: "Tang Dynasty, you listen to what crimes you have committed, first, you are a high-ranking official of Nanzhao, but you came to be my Huangmen squire of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know, once I know, it is a crime of rebellion, killing you is famous, is what I said reasonable?" ”

The Tang Dynasty finally couldn't hold it anymore and knelt down: "Back to the emperor, it's reasonable!" ”

Li Longji didn't care about him, and continued: "Second, you killed me Jian Yuwei, exchanging your life for your life, the second capital crime. ”

"Yes, the emperor is right." Tang Dynasty had no choice but to prostrate and say.

"Third, if you dare to hold Li Chenxiang hostage in the courtroom, you should be punished for your crimes."

"This, this Weichen is just, it's just" Tang Dynasty was very conflicted in his heart, and he didn't know whether to admit it or not.

But at such a time, Li Longji stopped him: "Tang Dynasty, you don't have to lie to me, these things, even if you don't say a word, I know the ins and outs of the matter even if I close my eyes, because I want to kill you, I don't need to be charged." ”

"Yes, Weichen understands!" Tang Chaodun, he knew that this was indeed the truth, if Li Longji didn't let himself go, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Li Longji looked at Tang Chao funny: "Tang Dynasty, then I am going to ask you, up to now, why did I let you keep this head on your head?" ”

Countless thoughts immediately flashed in Tang Chao's heart, but he finally said: "Your Majesty, you are talented, wise and wise, as deep as the sea, what do you think in your heart, the minister is really unfathomable?" ”

When Li Longji heard this, he frowned a little, but when he heard him say that his heart was like the sea, it was in line with his heart, because he often compared himself to Cao Cao, known as "Little Apu", and his favorite words to listen to compliments were the four words that were as big as the sea, and now they were euphemistically said by the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't help but be happy. He didn't know that during this period of time, the Tang Dynasty was messing around in the inner palace and the court, making friends, and the emperor's hobbies were clearly understood, but when he answered, he was to the point.

Although Han Xiu thinks very highly of himself, he has a bit of an old-fashioned feeling, but he does have real talent and learning, and he taught the Tang Dynasty's four-character mantra "Guess the Holy Will", and the Tang Dynasty thought it was true.

When Li Longji heard this, he was very happy, and pointed to the east of the Imperial Garden: "Tang Dynasty Aiqing, let's go over there for a walk!" ”

Saying that, when he went out first, Tang Dynasty followed, and came to a green grassy turf, a bit like the grass as big as the sports field before the crossing, and a few peacocks saw the brilliant imperial costume of Li Long Fund, and immediately competed for beauty, and the colorful feathers exuded the color of the sun, brilliant.

"Hehe, this place is very good, these peacocks, I have been feeding them for nearly twenty years, every time I come to see them, they will open the screen to me, they can be regarded as good friends." Speaking of this, the words changed, "Among the most beautiful things, there are often the most dangerous things hidden, although this peacock is beautiful and colorful, it contains poison, Tang Aiqing, you should always know this?" ”

Tang Chao hurriedly chimed in: "What the emperor said is peacock gall? ”

Li Longji said: "Yes, I also heard that a plant called cherry corn is produced in your Nanzhao, and when it opens, the clouds are brilliant, but it is highly poisonous?" ”

"Yes, the minister has also heard of it, but the emperor, the Tang Dynasty is now a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and he has broken off with Nanzhao." Tang Chao thought to himself, Mom, what "you Nanzhao", if you don't distinguish it, I'm afraid you will be guilty, and the emperor may be using this sentence to test me.

Li Longji showed an appreciative smile on his face, looked at Tang Chao, and thought, this kid is exquisite, I am so hidden and still seen through by him The true meaning, it is really suitable to follow me, but it is still too young, I need to sharpen it more, otherwise, it will be difficult to control it in the future, and said with a smile: "I believe you, what I said just now was just said casually, you don't have to be afraid." Actually, to tell the truth, even if you are a spy of Nanzhao and listen to all the secrets of my Datang, if you start a war, Tang Aiqing, what do you think Li Gesang has a chance of winning? ”

Tang Chao hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the strength dictates it, and the conspiracy and tricks are useless after all. ”

Li Longji nodded and said: "Yes, the strength is there, if he wants to avenge me for canonizing him as the king of Erhai County, at most it will be by surprise and occupy a few states and counties, and then, my army will come in a steady stream, and he will definitely be defeated in the end, so when I know your identity in Nanzhao, I am not surprised, and I don't take it to heart at all, in my heart, although Nanzhao is a foreign land, but it is still a subject of the Tang Dynasty, I have been for so many years, and I can't afford to fight, not only will I not invade Goryeo Baekje, I also don't want to provoke the surrounding ethnic minorities, that's because I am a benevolent king, I have crossed the canyon and occupied the countries of Nanzhao, Tubo and Turkic, in fact, with the strength of the whole country, it is completely possible to conquer it in a few years, but Nanzhao is a mountainous area, Tubo is a plateau, the Turks have the danger of mountains and rivers, and the bloody men and fierce horses left by the Huns are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it takes ten times the strength to conquer it, it is just to get a ruin, the taxes are thin, the people are stubborn and difficult to control, and in the end it is not a peaceful recovery, and the war has been going on for many years. The government and the people have suffered together, the rebellion in Lingnan in recent years is an example, these ethnic minorities, they can't be killed, they have been rehabilitated, and they have spent countless money and food on the army, but it still has no effect, hey, if it weren't for the prolific gold and silver in Lingnan, I would have withdrawn the government army a long time ago, managed these remote places, worked hard, and spent a lot of money from the central government, and what I got was just a false name, so that when the envoys of Dashi and Persia came to publicize the vastness of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the rest was a burden. I Dynasty Taizong Li Shimin, wise and martial, attacked Goryeo, although a little credit, but in the end retreated, but also because these foreign people are barbaric and difficult to control, even if they are defeated, occupied, it is not difficult to control, when Zhuge Kongming pacified the Southern Barbarians, obviously can occupy the land of the Southern Barbarians, but seven capture and seven verticals, but it is just to subdue its heart, now my Tang Dynasty is strong, all countries worship, pay tribute on time, I will not be very much for myself, everyone is safe. Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu Aiqing said to me, you have a very high status in Nanzhao, it seems to be a third person in addition to Li Gesang and Wolf Zhengxuan, you have repeatedly committed serious crimes, I don't want to kill you, I just don't want to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and at the same time I have the idea of loving you, you are indeed a talent, whether Nanzhao or I Datang, we need talents like you! ”

"The emperor has won the award, the talent of the minister, compared with Li Bai, is like a firefly and the sun and the moon to win glory!" At this time, the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to think of worshipping his brother Li Bai, hoping to return to the court because of his recommendation, so this sentence suddenly popped up, and when he said this, he actually had a lot of things on his mind.

Li Longji's face became serious: "Li Bai is a person I know very well, I really kept him at that time, I didn't expect this person to be too arrogant, and he actually left me, such a person, I can't add an axe to his body, I am afraid that the world will say that I have no room for people, but such a person can not be used, once I use it again, people in the world will say that there is no talent in the Tang Dynasty, hehe, Li Linfu Aiqing told me that according to the news he sent someone to find out, Li Bai once helped Li Gesang to quell the Nanzhao rebellion, and you were also with him at the time, compared to some interactions, However, since you have to work under me, it's better for you not to associate with people like Li Bai in the future! ”

"Yes, the emperor, the minister will do it!"

Li Longji smiled: "Hehe, I told you this just now, Tang Aiqing, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister understands that the emperor wants the minister to be an official in the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly and be loyal to the emperor."

Li Longji said: "Not bad! During this period of time, the current court is unstable, even a big man like Wang Ju was killed at home, and yesterday there was another incident of you kidnapping Li Chenxiang, although I have no evidence for this matter, and Li Linfu Aiqing has no evidence, but I know that Li Aiqing has never lied to me Between you and Li Aiqing, what is the enmity between you? I don't want the court to have an accident like this in three days? ”

Tang Dynasty's vest was in cold sweat, and he knew that the emperor really suspected that he had killed Wang Ju, but there was no evidence. I didn't dare to hide it at the moment, 1510, I told me that I had offended Li Linfu because of saving my life, and of course I concealed that I was a brother with Niu Monk and Children, and the rest of them were all said in one go, and even Tie Murong and these people said it, and every sentence was true.

Li Longji looked at the green grass and listened to Tang Chao's words, his face became more and more gloomy. He obviously couldn't imagine that Li Linfu, the minister he had always trusted, was such a domineering person, who sent people to assassinate court officials at every turn, and was domineering.

The emperors of all dynasties hated such courtiers.

The Tang Dynasty dared to kidnap a big man like Li Linfu, regardless of whether there was evidence or not, as long as Li Longji was convinced, it was a capital crime, but Li Longji obviously had not reached the point of mediocrity, and after listening to Li Linfu's words, he did not immediately kill the Tang Dynasty, but personally inquired about the matter. The third son of Tang Ruizong, who had grown up in intrigues, had a special love for strategy and a keen insight into the battles of these courts. Although he has been happy with Yang Yuhuan in the Palace of Eternal Life all these years, his ability to overthrow Princess Taiping, the iron-blooded heroine, has not declined, and he suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as Li Linfu said to himself, most likely this minister was rejecting dissidents, and now it was.

When Li Longji was the former crown prince, he once supervised the country, and helped his father Tang Ruizong deal with the promotion of officials of the sixth rank and below and the matching of prisoners. In view of the unstable situation in the imperial court in the past few days, although he was lazy about Sele, he still attracted great attention, so he did not hesitate to personally go out to accurately find out the movements of all forces in the court.

A young man like the Tang Dynasty, although he is smart, is like Li Longji, who has been rolling in intrigues and tricks all his life, and a few amiable words fooled him, and any secrets are hidden under Li Longji's eyes.

But fortunately, Li Longji felt that the Tang Dynasty was a simple person, just a smart and slightly immature young man, but he had momentum, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he dared to fight against Li Chen.

The art of balance has always been one of the power techniques that Li Longji has successfully used as an emperor. During the Kaiyuan period, what Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Jiuling, Han Xiu and a large number of prime ministers, no matter how good they are, they can only be for four years, and they must be replaced after four years, in fact, they are afraid that some ministers will hold power for a long time, and then threaten his throne, and now, he is also considering, should Li Linfu be replaced?

However, as he deepened his understanding of power, he felt that he was capable of controlling any situation, so he wanted to try a new way of controlling power, power checks and balances!

He wanted to divide the court into two opposing factions, when one faction did something, the other faction would definitely oppose it, as if the enemy was similar, but he controlled the balance in it, sat on the fisherman's profits, smiled at the wind and clouds, hugged his Yang Guifei, and enjoyed his glory and wealth.

Because, if there is any problem or contradiction, just like the Tang Dynasty and Li Linfu, they will eventually tell him the old man, so he knows everything, and he will not be embarrassed when he deals with it.

What he was trying now was such a new way of governing, he was an emperor who liked novelty, and he felt that he could use everything freely, and he used it well, and nothing could go wrong.

"Hehe", in the end, Li Longji laughed, "Tang Dynasty, I know that you will not kidnap Li Chenxiang for no reason, before, you helped me find the concubine, this great achievement, enough for me to spare you a few times not to die, okay, don't panic, hone the young man's ambition in the future, don't be impulsive, in the future, you will be your Xihuangmen waiter, if there is anything about Li Chenxiang, you must report to me as soon as possible, do you agree?" ”

"Obey the order!" Tang Chaozi knelt down happily, he knew that the emperor really spared him today and called him to come, just to ask about the situation, and he did not suspect that he had killed Wang Ju.
