Gao Lishi stretched his waist, and then gently tapped his waist with a small wooden hammer. ¡°Although I really don¡¯t want to admit it, I can¡¯t accept it anymore He still has the strength to serve Li Longji, but after a while, he will feel severe pain in his back. Li Longji also sympathized with him, and now some chores were handed over to the young eunuch. To a greater extent, he just chatted and had fun with Li Longji. "General Gao, Gao Lishi" A voice calling him came from the hall. Gao Lishi responded, put down the wooden hammer, and ran towards the main hall. The seventy-year-old old man could not be seen at all. Seeing Gao Lishi appear in front of him quickly, Li Longji smiled and said: "You old guy, your legs and feet are still very flexible Tell me if you have any interesting things in the past two days." "This, I really didn't listen. What an interesting thing." Gao Lishi said. "You just hide it, you think I really don't know. I heard that Ye Chang beat An Lushan's son again in the restaurant?" Gao Lishi smiled bitterly. Ye Chang is really not a law-abiding guy. He just beat An Lushan a few days ago, and yesterday he went to beat An Qingzong. It's right to think about it. Ye Chang, the dandy in Chang'an City, beat him a lot and even had his legs broken. "This guy is really fooling around. Let him wait behind closed doors at home. He stayed in the West Market." , he even got into a fight with someone in the street, you will send someone to fine him fifty kilograms of copper later Just fine him money, fine him ten thousand kilograms, and pay for Anqingzong's soup and medicine. After all, Anqingzong is also the husband of the princess, so he has to pay. Save some face for our Li family." Li Longji spoke with some enthusiasm. Although he punished Ye Chang, he did not really blame him. In Li Longji's view, Ye Chang had restrained himself. After all, he only beat An Qingzong with a black nose and a swollen face, rather than killing An Qingzong in public. "Yes" "There are too many things happening this year, and the country is not at peace. I hope they will stop making trouble and let me live a peaceful and peaceful year General Gao, you and I are getting older, and every year is less and less. "Li Longji suddenly said, "Gao Lishi was heartbroken and said with a smile: "Why did the saint say this? I feel a little old, but the saint has a good health and looks like he is still in his prime, why do he say he is old?" Old age means old age. You can't accept it." Li Longji smiled and said, "Xincheng and Jianping came to the table today, did you see them?" Gao Lishi heard about this, Princess Xincheng and Princess Jianping. These two princesses had a grudge against the Yang sisters. It was said that their families had been bullied by Yang servants, and they did not dare to complain, so they petitioned Li Longji to request temporary residence in a villa in Zhongnan Mountain. Because the Yang sisters were involved, Gao Lishi was unwilling to get involved too much, but deep down in his heart, he hated the Yang sisters. Princess Xincheng and Princess Jianping's family members would respectfully call him "Gao Weng" when they met him. When the Yang sisters were in a good mood, they called him "General Gao". When they were in a bad mood, they would call him here and there, as if he were really a slave. Even if they are slaves, they are only slaves of the emperor. Who are the Yang sisters? How dare they be so rude. Thinking of this, Gao Lishi said: "I have seen you, slave." "I agree to this, so as not to cause any trouble in the capital. "It disturbs my mood." Li Longji said calmly: "I will have a lively New Year's party next year." "The sage said that it should also be festive and wash away bad luck." Finally, there is no danger. I will go to Ye Chang's house in person later. If the saint wants to celebrate, he must make a fortune, otherwise he, the number one rich man, will be advantaged." I heard that Gao Lishi was going to exploit him. Ye Chang and Li Longji laughed happily. It is always a happy thing to ask Ye Chang to pay for it. It is rare that that boy is very good at making money "But don't go too far, you have to leave some for my family's longevity." Li Longji said: "I heard that this year's safety The Dongfang Chamber of Commerce is not doing well either. "Yes, I heard that their dividends this year are less than half of last year." Gao Lishi said with a little envy in his eyes: "But it's not too small. Many of our farms have nothing this year." What kind of harvest can you rely on? " "I shouldn't let you quit" Li Longji said slowly. "Well, this servant already has a lot of property, it doesn't matter whether he gets his dividend or not." The two old men chattered and talked about some anecdotes in Chang'an City. Gao Lishi always felt that although Li Longji was in a happy mood, he seemed a little unhappy. However, he observed carefully and found nothing unusual, so he could only regard this as his own illusion. After talking for a while, Li Longji became tired and asked Gao Lishi to step back. Gao Lishi went out and felt his feet were numb because he had stood for a long time. When he was sitting in a shelter from the wind and asked the little eunuch to help him live his feet, he saw a eunuch hurriedly walking past. "Who is that? Why are you so flustered? What's the matter?" Gao Lishi was bored when he saw that the man looked familiar and drank. The man stopped and looked this way. He realized it was Gao Lishi and hurriedly came up to salute: "?This is General Gao, and this servant has paid his respects to the general. " "It's youCheng Yuanzhen. "After careful identification, Gao Lishi recognized this person. He vaguely remembered that this guy was a person close to Prince Li Heng. Why did he appear in Xingqing Palace at this time? "What are you doing here? "Gao Lishi asked. "This slave is here to pick up some things as ordered by His Highness. " Seeing Gao Lishi's puzzled face, Cheng Yuanzhen smiled and said: "Don't you want to celebrate the New Year? The East Palace is somewhat insufficient" "I see, you go ahead. Gao Lishi waved his hand: "Go and do it quickly, don't miss His Highness's business." Prince Li Heng always respected Gao Lishi and called him "Brother Gao", and Gao Lishi also secretly protected Li Heng. At the beginning, Li Linfu was At the time of the meeting, Li Hengling was very anxious and forced the prince to separate from the two princesses. The prince was in danger and did not dare to spend his daily expenses. Gao Lishi led Li Longji to the East Palace and let Li Longji see the East Palace. Therefore, Gao Lishi did not have much doubts about the situation. Gloomy: "It's so dangerous that I met this old guy." Not long after Cheng Yuanzhen left, Gao Lishi saw General Longwu Chen Xuanli with a smile on his face, followed by General Longwu Army walking and talking. After seeing him, Chen Xuanli. He cupped his hands and said, "General Gao." Gao Lishi smiled and nodded, but his eyes turned to the man following Chen Xuanli: "It turns out to be General Luo. Luo Yuanguang stepped forward and saluted Gao Lishi: "If you don't dare, General Gao can just call the villain by his name." "Now that Yuan Guang is serving under my command, I have to give him advice." Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "The future is formidable and the future is boundless. " Gao Lishi nodded, but didn't say much. In his heart, he looked down on Luo Yuanguang. Ye Chang treated him very kindly and gave him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but he went to join Yang Guozhong - although it was said to save his adoptive father, Gao Lishi always felt that this man's behavior After all, it is not what a loyal person should do. "When it comes to guarding matters in the palace, I often ask General Gao for advice. The saint has been having trouble sleeping recently, and cannot fall asleep unless General Gao is on duty. Yuan Guang, you are now gradually assuming an important position" Hearing them talking, Gao Lishi walked away. He curled his lips. When he left the palace, he saw a group of people and horses coming here, surrounded by An Lushan and his son. There were more than a hundred people in the group, and all of them were wearing armor and holding soldiers. They looked very majestic. Gao Lishi shook his head: "I'm afraid of being beaten by Ye Chang." In the past, An Lushan and his son were not so majestic in Chang'an City, but now when they go in and out, there are many guards, and everyone knows that this is because they were Ye Chang beat him. Thinking of the father and son, Gao Lishi smiled bitterly, Ye Chang was really capable of causing trouble. However, this guy himself was not having a hard time. Originally, he did not have many people in his family. After beating An Qingzong, he immediately ordered that the people who were placed in the village outside Chang'an city be transferred to Chang'an. Obviously, Ye Chang was also afraid of An Lushan. revenge. Originally, Jing Zhaoyin would keep an eye on these two families, but now that Jing Zhaoyin is from Yang Guozhong, he is eager for Ye Chang and An Lushan to fight, so he naturally turns a blind eye to the matter of recruiting servants from both sides. Only one eye. Without greeting An Lushan, Gao Lishi got on the carriage and ordered the charioteer to leave in another direction without meeting An Lushan. As a result, halfway through, he heard the noise in front of him. Gao Lishi lifted the curtain and saw that it was an extremely gorgeous ceremony. There were a thousand people, about two hundred or so each, wearing the same clothes, swaggering through the market. In the entire city of Chang'an, the Yang family is the only one with this kind of style. Gao Lishi frowned. Seeing that the other party had no intention of avoiding him, he ordered his guard of honor to move to the side of the road. Walking in the front was Yang Guozhong's guard of honor. When his carriage passed by Gao Lishi's carriage, there was no movement in Yang Guozhong's carriage. Gao Lishi's face sank slightly. He didn¡¯t believe that Yang Guozhong¡¯s companion didn¡¯t tell him that he was here. As the prime minister, Yang Guozhong was understandable for not giving way to him, but he knew he was here, but he didn't come out to say hello, and didn't even raise the curtains to raise his hand His contempt was so. In the past, Yang Guozhong was also arrogant, but he still If you weren't so arrogant, why would you be like this today? Gao Lishi thought about it for a long time. After the Yang family passed by and his charioteer was about to drive forward, an idea suddenly came to Gao Lishi's mind. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong¡± ¡°Turn back, go back to Xingqing Palace¡± Gao Lishi said. Naturally, his charioteer would not ask too many questions, so Gao Lishi returned to the Xingqing Palace after a while, but he did not go to see the emperor, but sent someone out. Not long after, a eunuch came to him. . "Have the Yang family entered the palace many times in the past two days?" Gao Lishi asked. The eunuch felt a little strange. Wasn't he asking questions knowingly? As long as Li Longji was in good health, almost everyone in the Yang family wouldEvery day came to the palace. Hearing this answer, Gao Lishi snorted and asked, "Where is King Yong?" "King Yong comes often these days." "Did he follow the Yang family when they came?" Gao Lishi asked again ask. "Yes" "Okay, you go ahead and be tight-lipped." After sending the little eunuch away, Gao Lishi's face turned gloomy. He looked up at the sky and felt that the sky was as depressing as his own mood. "The position of the prince is troublesome" Previously, Yang Guozhong's number one enemy was Ye Chang. Although Li Heng and Ye Chang had a bad relationship, they had to admit that it was Ye Chang who could help the prince Li Heng share the pressure of the Yang family. Now that Ye Chang has been completely dismissed, even if Li Longji did not delve into his thoughts, in Yang Guozhong's view, it is already very difficult for Ye Chang to make a comeback. A typical example is the two princesses Xincheng and Jianping. They are now hiding out of Chang'an to avoid the Yang family's aggression. Therefore, the Yang family can focus on the prince. As Li Longji gets older day by day, the Yang family's plan becomes more and more clear. They want to support King Yong to replace Li Heng as the crown prince. Gao Lishi understood the reason why the Yang family did this: their wealth was entirely tied to Yang Yuhuan. If Li Longji died and Prince Li Heng succeeded to the throne, Yang Yuhuan would have to live in the cold palace for the rest of his life, and Yang Guozhong's position as prime minister would not be jailed. , this is on the premise that Li Heng does not care about them. The greater possibility is that Yang Yuhuan ordered his death, and Yang Guozhong and the Yang sisters ransacked their homes and exterminated their families. Therefore, the Yang family set their sights on abolishing the establishment. If King Yong can be supported to take the throne, but King Yong has no mother, he will be grateful, even if he does not view Yang Yuhuan as a mother, at least he will remain respectful to the Yang family. Ever since the attempted coup in the eleventh year of Tianbao, the Yang family has been thinking about this matter. In that attempted coup, King Yong's performance was also admired by Li Longji. On the contrary, Prince Li Heng was somewhat lost by Li Longji. trust. After that, King Yong's respect and filial piety to Yang Yuhuan can really be included in the list of filial sons. It can be seen that King Yong himself is quite ambitious. "That's it, that's it No wonder the saint's expression is a little weird today. Maybe they are planning this matter together." After Gao Lishi thought about it in his heart, he suddenly became alert: "There is a noble concubine inside, and Yang Guozhong outside. Coupled with the fact that An Lushan has been very close to Yang Guozhong recently His Highness the Crown Prince must have noticed something, so Cheng Yuanzhen appeared in the palace at this time, not really to get anything, but to pay tribute to the Crown Prince. "His Highness ordered me to come here to inquire about the news." "If so many people join forces to create a momentum and find an excuse to blame Li Heng, Li Heng's position as crown prince will be really difficult to keep. "No, no we should think of some ways Chen Xuanli's side that's not right." Gao Lishi suddenly remembered that Chen Xuanli had become so close to Luo Yuanguang just now. Doesn't this mean that Chen Xuanli might also be on Yang Guozhong's side? ? He and Chen Xuanli have been colleagues for many years, and they have cooperated and fought with each other, but they can generally be regarded as old brothers who launched a coup with Li Longji to seize the throne. He believed in Chen Xuanli's loyalty, but his support was a rare feat. It's hard to say whether this old guy will be moved by this. "No matter what, you have to make some preparations. Even if they succeed, they can't and they can't let me suffer." After pondering for a while, Gao Lishi got up with a gloomy face, went to the door again, and ordered the charioteer to send him away. The charioteer was just thinking about why General Gao had given orders so repeatedly today, when he heard Gao Lishi say: "Go to Ye Chang's Mansion."
