Gloris?

Pei Min paused when he heard this name.

This figure who was considered a storm back then had already withdrawn from the stage of history because of Li Yan's deliberate alienation.

But Pei Min knew in his heart that with Gao Lishi's ability and strength, with Li Yan's alienation, he could not become a marginal figure immediately.

Gao Lishi was unwilling to be enemies with Li Yan and willingly gave up everything he had. This is the reason why he became a marginal figure.

When it comes to loyalty, Pei Min thinks he is not as good as Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi belongs to the kind of person who is loyal to death, and he has the idea that the king wants his ministers to die and his ministers die immediately. Pei Min belongs to the normal relationship between the king and the ministers, just as Mencius said, "If a king treats his ministers as his brothers and feet, then the ministers regard him as his loyal heart; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as earth, then the ministers regard him as enemies."

Li Longji was so confident that he was arrogant and trusting Pei Min unconditionally, which made Pei Min willing to give everything to the Li Tang Dynasty.

Pei Min had a complicated relationship with Gao Lishi: he went to the West and talked to Gao Lishi specifically about Li Heng, making him beware of one or two things.

As a result, Li Heng kept making moves, using Li Yan's trust and incompetence to mess up the situation in the East, especially forcing Li Yi to death.

Pei Min didn't believe that Gao Lishi had no idea, nor did he believe that Gao Lishi really had no way to do anything.

As for why Gao Lishi did nothing, Pei Min didn't know and did not plan to pursue it. The only thing he could be sure of was that Gao Lishi did not collude with Li Heng.

After calculating the time, the Tang Dynasty is now in a mess and cannot spare much free time. Now Ge Shuhan’s money has not yet arrived, and once the money is in place, there is no time left.

Thinking that it was still early, he said, "Send someone to tell Eunuch Gao that I will visit you later."

After sorting out and changing into comfortable and neat casual clothes, Pei Min rode his horse toward Gao Lishi's mansion.

Gao Lishi still lives in the most prosperous area of ​​Chang'an, but his deserted house is completely different from his past years.

Pei Min couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Gao Lishi again. The gray-white and old-looking person in front of him did not look like he was the same?

He was a sick old man on the street. How could he see the shadow of Gao Lishi, the general of the Cavalry who was in a turmoil?

"Eunuch Gao!"

Pei Min shouted in a moved manner: "Are you?"

Gao Lishi sighed and said, "Let's talk in detail!"

Pei Min and Gao Lishi entered together. Pei Min found that when he came to Gao Mansion before, there were many maids and servants, but today they were hard to see one person.

When they arrived at the private room, they took their seats.

Gao Lishi straightened up directly, bowed heavily to the ground, and cried, "If it weren't for Pei Xiang, Gao Lishi would have caused a disaster. I had no face to see Pei Xiang, and I had no face to see Your Majesty. I wanted to die and felt ashamed..."

He couldn't get up and cried loudly.

A person in his fifties and sixties cries like a child.

Pei Min stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Is Eunuch Gao because of Li Heng?"

Because Li Heng had been demoted to a civilian and was exiled to a foreign land, Pei Min called him the name of a civilian here.

Gao Lishi wiped away the tears in his eyes and sighed: "Yes, Pei Xiang should know that His Majesty intends to let Li Heng ascend the throne before his death?"

His Majesty in his mouth naturally refers to Li Longji, rather than the current emperor Li Yan.

Pei Min nodded.

Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty has no doubt about Pei Xiang, especially because Pei Xiang ignored the changes in the capital and insisted on entering the capital, which made Your Majesty feel very moved. It was Pei Xiang who insisted on choosing His Majesty and gave up his plans. In fact, Your Majesty has always been puzzled in his heart. Why are you so persistent in the establishment of a crown prince? Can't Pei Xiang really see that His Majesty today is just an A Dou who can't be helped, and a rotten wood that is hard to carve?"

Pei Min didn't know how to explain it, and Li Yan couldn't catch up with Li Heng in terms of talent and ability, but Li Heng was like Yang Guang. The stronger his ability, the greater the harm. On the contrary, although Li Yan was a little mediocre, given the situation at that time of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he was stable, he could maintain a prosperous era for a long time.

If you say this, I believe that no one will believe it, but this is the fact.

Gao Lishi said: "Everything is exactly the same as Your Majesty's worries. His current talent is not enough to be the king of a country. Everything needs Pei Xiang's support. When Pei Xiang goes out to fight, he feels like he has lost his backbone and lacks his opinion in everything. Especially when chaos arose in the north, he is at a loss. In a certain heart, Your Majesty is always the first. Although Pei Xiang is powerful, it is thousands of miles apart compared to Your Majesty. I feel that Pei Xiang is wrong in choosing a throne, and Li Heng, who Your Majesty likes, is the best choice."

He said bitterly: "Li Heng can tolerate, have strategy, and have lofty ambitions, and have great style as His Majesty back then. Some of his things, some of them have understood ones and two things, but they have not asked about them, and they have not studied them in detail. Some of them think that their ability today is not enough to quell the rebellion of An Thief. If Li Heng can correct the situation at this time, it will undoubtedly be the right thing for His Majesty to do. However, I really didn't expect that Li Heng was one of the sources of everything. I was wrong..."

"I only thought some of his small actions were big ambitions, but I didn't expect that this was not ambition, not ambitions, but a thief who harmed the country."

"If someone had listened to Pei Xiang's words and restrained them and investigated them, he would have been able to detect and avoid the current situation. It was me, my indulgence that led to Li Heng's misconduct."

"I failed His Majesty and destroyed the great country he captured..."

When Pei Min heard Gao Lishi's words of self-blame, he also understood in his heart, understanding why Li Heng plotted against the plan in Chang'an and was unscrupulous.

There are only two people who can deal with Li Heng except himself.

One is Li Yi and the other is Gao Lishi.

Especially in the palace, Gao Lishi's strength was deeply rooted. Even if Li Yan didn't like him, he wouldn't have captured all his power in one fell swoop. It was just that Gao Lishi turned a blind eye.

Strange?

Looking at Gao Lishi who was crying like a child, Pei Min couldn't even scold him, and sighed: "All this is fate. The matter has passed. Besides, there is no point in saying this! The eunuch should ensure his health. Now the world is gradually recovering. Although Your Majesty is stupid, he understands the doctrine of the mean. Someone is still young, and Your Majesty is also young. We have enough time to cultivate the future emperor."

Gao Lishi sobbed, "After Your Majesty, I had a long-term intention to die. I planned to die and follow Your Majesty and survive in the world with your Majesty's trust. Now I dare not die, and I am ashamed of seeing Your Majesty, so I have this body. Now I know that the deadline has come, and I have completed the inventory of the savings in the mansion. After deducting part of it to the Lü family, the rest are all used as the national treasury. I have been wronged by the Lü family over the years, and I hope the Duke can take good care of him."

Pei Min responded sadly: "Don't worry, eunuch, I will handle this matter properly."
