Chapter 50: Critically Ill National Thief
After learning about the details of the flower and bird manuscript, Pei Min immediately felt that one head was two big.
He has wiped Li Longji's butt more than once, and he has long been used to many things.
I also understand one thing: everything is a double-edged sword. If you have a good side, you will inevitably have a bad side.
When I got into a strange emperor like Li Longji, I was extremely convenient and inevitably had unpredictable accidents.
The matter of flowers and birds making Pei Min a little sad.
This is the most troublesome thing that Pei Min encounters...
Even as Wang Hui, a popular hot chicken, Pei Min doesn't care much about it.
Because he has the traitor Li Linfu, he has a transcendent status and power, and is more than enough to deal with Wang Hui.
Moreover, Wang Hui also has a teammate of pigs, Yang Jieyu's dark history, which has become their biggest handle.
This time it's different!
The flowers and birds made the public resentment, although it was because the group of eunuchs and eunuchs were mentally perverted and caused trouble, but if we investigated, the real culprit was Li Longji and Gao Lishi.
If Li Longji was not lustful, he would not be able to eat without a concubine Yang and could not sleep at night; Gao Lishi would not have made flowers and birds a bad idea.
Li Longji is extreme in protecting his shortcomings and nepotism.
Gao Lishi is the eunuch who is closest to him. Li Longji's feelings for Gao Lishi are no longer limited to his subjects, but are more of a family meaning.
Li Longji had nothing wrong with Gao Lishi, and only Gao Lishi was there could be peace of mind.
When facing an unreasonable emperor, whoever dares to touch Gao Lishi will be self-evident.
Pei Min didn't feel that he could beat Gao Lishi, nor did he want to be enemies with Gao Lishi head-on.
This matter has also become extremely troublesome, but Pei Min cannot sit idly by.
In history, An Lushan was able to sweep half of the northern country in a short period of time, although it was because of his strong strength, and the Tang Dynasty's freedom and virtue were also one of them.
Li Longji was addicted to enjoyment in the second half of his life and was squandering his money.
Every time Li Longji takes advantage of rewards, he often costs tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.
Especially Yang Guifei's family, which was full of power and was squandering at will. There were 700 craftsmen in the palace who weaved brocade and embroidered brocades for the imperial concubine's courtyard, and Yang Guifei's three sisters cost millions of dollars a year. The Yang family crossed the street and the fragrance could drift for several miles.
Although Chang'an is prosperous, this prosperity is exchanged for the blood and sweat of the people.
It has not reached the point where officials force the people to rebel, but the lives of the people are not very good. Everyone hates Yang Guozhong to the core.
An Lushan raised his troops south to worry about the danger of the country, saying that he had been secretly ordered to attack Yang Guozhong. The people along the way cheered and opened the door to welcome An Lushan's rebels.
It can be seen that the Anshi Rebellion did not happen overnight, and hidden dangers have long existed.
If I indulge in this matter, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will follow in the footsteps.
When Pei Min was worried about this, a secret letter of urgent imperial edict engraved with gold lacquer and fire seals suddenly arrived.
A messenger rushed directly into the conference hall of the county prince's mansion, holding up a secret letter of urgent edicts.
Pei Min's face changed when he heard this. This urgent letter of imperial edict and secret seal was one of the most urgent communications of the court. It was one level higher than the urgent report of wars on the front line.
An envoy holding a secret letter of emergency can go anywhere and meet anyone until the information is conveyed. During this period, if anyone dares to stop him, the envoy has the power to kill.
Usually, this kind of urgent and secret letter is used for the royal edict. Only when a major event happens like a bandit army that is facing the city will a level of urgent and secret letter will be issued with gold, lacquer and fire seals.
"What happened in Chang'an? Is it necessary to mobilize all the troops with such labor?"
An ominous premonition appeared in Pei Min's heart, and he strode in front of the walkway messenger and whispered loudly: "My minister Pei Min received the order!"
The messenger solemnly handed the secret letter of golden lacquer and fire seal to Pei Min.
Pei Min first checked the correctness of the golden lacquer and fire seals and whether there was any damage. After that, he teared the golden lacquer and fire seals and took out the secret inside.
The secret decree has only a short sentence, "Your Majesty is critically ill, enter Beijing quickly!"
************
Xingqing Palace!
As the place where Li Longji travels and works, the huge palace is now full of solemn atmosphere.
The eunuch in the palace was so proud that the palace maids did not dare to breathe, and were busy with the things they were doing.
The closer you get to Li Longji's bedroom, the deeper the guards are.
In this deep palace courtyard, it is like facing a great enemy at this moment.
Li Longji lay down with a gray face, his abdomen was a little swollen, and he was abnormally swollen. He had no vitality on his body, and he felt a lifeless feeling.
In the huge bedroom, there are only two people, Li Longji and Gao Lishi.
Li Longji said in a hoarse voice: "General Gao, do you say Jingyuan, will he come?"
Gao Lishi rubbed his eyes with tears in his eyes and said sobbingly: "If you know, the prince will definitely do it."
Li Longji opened his mouth and said for a while: "I think he can do it, but, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart. I don't doubt Jingyuan's loyalty, but can he treat the crown prince the same as I am? Crown, will the crown prince treat Jingyuan the same as I am? Cough cough, Mencius said one thing: "If the king treats his ministers as brothers and feet, then the minister treats the king as his heart; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats the king as a countryman; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats the king as a enemy'..."
He was silent for a while and said, "I have always believed that I can be in line with Jingyuan's monarch and ministers, just like Jiang Shang assisting King Wen, King Wu, and Zhuge Wuhou assisting Liu Bei, creating a good story and becoming a model for future monarchs and ministers. But I don't want... God will treat me like this. Jingyuan now has heavy troops and lives in the northwest... How can the prince and him have no kindness and virtue? Once he is forced to force Jingyuan, with his ability, how can he be Jingyuan's opponent? The prince is not me, and the prince is not me..."
He was so anxious that he was furious that he coughed several times, and blood spilled out of the corners of his mouth.
Gao Lishi was frightened and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty! I believe that the prince will definitely come..."
Li Longji calmed down for a while and whispered: "Actually, if he doesn't come, I don't blame him, I really don't blame him. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to come. After all, Chang'an is about to change. For him, this is a dragon's den, and if he comes, he may not be able to go back. However, General Gao, listen. I will go there no matter when. If Jingyuan doesn't come, you will pass on my oral order. Announce the Weiwu County Prince as a traitor and summon the Jiedushi of the world to fight against the thieves."
"Your Majesty..." Gao Lishi looked terrified!
