"Huairou, are you willing to recognize Lishi as your adoptive father?" Emperor Li Longji looked at Gao Mang and suddenly asked.

Gao Mang couldn't help but be shocked. What happened?

Li Longji smiled and said, "Huairou, you and Li Shi have the same surname, and they are all people close to me. If you can become Li Shi's adopted son, I'm afraid no one will treat you badly."

Seeing Gao Mang still stunned, Li Longji said a little displeased: "Boy, can you, what prejudice do you have against Lis?"

Gao Mang hurriedly shook his head, stood up, saluted to the emperor, and then saluted Gao Lishi, and then said to the emperor seriously: "Sage, General Gao is loyal. He does not oppress good deeds like other eunuchs. Instead, he does not do good things for the court and the people. After the boy went down the mountain, he received General Gao's care many times. He admired and respected him in his heart. How could he have prejudice when he regards him as a close elder?"

Gao Mang said it in his heart. Gao Lishi in history was a loyal man, and he was loyal to Emperor Xuanzong all his life. Although he was powerful in the court, he did not call the wind and rain and cause trouble in the court like other eunuchs in history, but instead kept his duty.

Of course, he was also greedy for money and accepted bribes, but who is not? He values ​​friendship and the Wu family was kind to him back then. He still cares about it and has taken care of Concubine Wu Hui and others.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong was lucky to Shu, and Gao Lishi was with him.

After the two capitals were recaptured, Emperor Xuanzong was placed under house arrest by his son, and Gao Lishi still stayed with him by his side.

Later, Gao Lishi was exiled to Qianzhong and forced to leave Xuanzong. On the way back, he learned about the death of Emperor Xuanzong, and knelt north and vomited blood and died.

Later generations praised him as "the most loyal official in the ages", and his name is loyal, and he deserves his reputation.

In Gao Mang's life, Gao Lishi took good care of him and helped him a lot in public and secretly. How could Gao Mang have prejudices?

This is not because he sang slogans such as "Everyone is equal" and "caring for the disabled", but because the Taoist Zhuangzi's idea of ​​celibacy is too high.

With one finger of heaven and earth, all things are one horse, all things can be united, life and death can be united, where can they be divided into genders, and where can they be divided into old, weak, sick and disabled?

Li Longji smiled and nodded, puzzled: "Then why do you have to hesitate?"

Gao Mang scratched his head and said, "I heard that General Gao has accepted many adopted sons, and they are all small eunuchs in the palace."

puff!

Li Longji sprayed out the tea he had just drunk into his mouth, and laughed so hard that he fell back and forth. Wang Jixin laughed out loud.

Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, looked embarrassed, "There is nowhere to go."

Li Longji coughed twice, pointed at Gao Mang and cursed, "It's because you are afraid that I will send you into the palace as a little eunuch. Boy, Li Shi wants you to inherit the serious family lintel of the Gao family and pass on the family line. It's different from those miserable people who depend on each other in the palace. Do you understand?"

Gao Mang nodded suddenly and said, "It's not that he would be able to lead the sword quickly, and he turned from a little immortal master to a little father-in-law."

Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi again: "Lishi, are you satisfied with my adopted son for you?"

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Gao Lishi knelt on the ground with a thud, burst into tears, and almost burst into tears.

His original surname was Feng, and he was born in a prominent family. His father served as the governor of a state. After entering the palace, he was afraid that he would insult his ancestors, so he changed his surname to Gao.

Now that he is old, he is not thinking about recognizing his ancestors in the future. It is better to pass on the Gao family to be considered as giving an explanation to himself in this life.

Because of this, a few years ago, he married the daughter of Lu Xuanwu, the daughter of the swordsman Lu Xuanwu, and formed a normal family.

It is not a novelty for eunuchs to marry their wives. Since Kaiyuan, eunuchs have become popular. Half of eunuchs have married wives and concubines, and some even have more than one.

If you have a beloved wife and a family, you must have a descendant of inheritance, right?

In recent years, Gao Lishi has also been looking for candidates, but he is Xing Yu's person after all. The people he likes don't like him, and the ones he looks down on him instead flocks to him. As time goes by, he becomes a little annoyed and his thoughts fade.

But as the emperor said, his surname is Gao, and Gao Mang also has a surname. What a good fate.

Gao Lishi had been paying attention to Gao Mang for a long time and liked this child from the bottom of his heart. However, he knew that Gao Mang was the closed disciple of Sima Chengzhen, a little immortal master praised by the world, a genius boy with talented superpowers, and a controller of the Tianyun Department in the future. With so many halos, he could not even dare to accept Gao Mang as his adopted son.

But now the emperor suddenly asked Gao Mang to worship him as his adoptive father. How could Gao Lishi not be surprised, how could he be excited, how could he not cry bitterly?

Gao Mang walked forward obediently, knelt in front of Gao Lishi, and said frankly: "The adopted son Gao Huairou, have seen his adopted father!"

Wow,

Gao Lishi burst into tears and quickly helped Gao Mang to get up, crying and smirking: "Okay, OK!"

Looking at the adopted son who was awake in front of him, Gao Lishi liked the more he looked at him. Suddenly he thought of something and quickly touched his body.

Such a big thing was too sudden. If he had known that he would have prepared a big meeting gift. But he couldn't help but want to wait until he took Gao Mang home to formally pay homage to Mrs. Lu, and it would be too late to make up for the gift.

Gao Mang looked at Gao Lishi who was surprised and confused, and sighed in his heart. Since he couldn't be the little immortal master, then he should be Gao Yanei.

Until the Anshi Rebellion, Gao Lishi was the first confidant around the emperor, a heavyweight in the harem of the previous dynasty, even bigwigs of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong in the future, they did not dare to be arrogant in front of Gao Lishi.

When he, the yamen, arrives in Chang'an, where the tiger's den, it is absolutely fine to walk sideways with his adoptive father's sign. But relying on his adoptive father's power, he can do too many things.

Gao Mang gradually understood the emperor's intentions, which was nothing more than a different way to restrict him and indirectly control the Tianyun Department. In fact, the emperor was still reluctant to delegate power.

After understanding this, Gao Mang had no way to refuse, otherwise the emperor's plan would be lost, and there would be no benefit for him, Yu Tianyunsi.

The task is arduous, but finally one big step has taken.

Next, the emperor arranged for him, the "dead man", and the position of the alcohol envoy must be explained.

Alcohol is responsible for the brewing of Vulcan liquid, which is not only related to huge interests, but also to national strategies, so there must be a capable person to take over.

Gao Mang thought for a while and recommended the Emperor the Minister of Works, He Daqian He Zhizhang.

He Zhizhang?

The emperor was surprised and thought about it and nodded in a smile, accepting it happily.

He Zhizhang is old and needs a safe place to enjoy a peaceful life. He is so good at drinking, and alcohol is the best for him.

This time, He Zhizhang was involved in the rebellion of the Yin soldiers planned by the prince. He always had to give an explanation. He demoted He Zhizhang to a fifth-rank alcohol envoy, which not only safeguarded the dignity of the court, but also protected He Zhizhang.

On this point, Li Longji and Gao Mang coincided with each other.

"Sage, then my little immortal master's mansion?" Gao Mang looked at the emperor with a gaze.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "A mere house, can your adoptive father treat you badly?"

Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, smiled and nodded. He didn't dare to say anything else, Gao Mang wanted money and wanted a house, so he could do as much as he wanted.
