Chapter 1162: It's Time to Abdicate
"A Duke of Chu State, a Duke of Bohai County, it turned out that Elder Gao followed Jiang Si, and I was still thinking about who this Duke of Bohai County was!"
Hearing Du Shiyi come forward with a smile and say such words, Jiang Du, who had been in a good mood for several days, was even more overjoyed, strode up and back, and actually hugged Du Shiyi fiercely, and then said with a smile: "If you don't report to Chu Guogong, do you still want people to report Guangluqing?" I'm afraid you'll never remember who it is! As for the Duke of Bohai County, when Gao Lao was driven out of the palace by His Majesty, he took the post of the general of the right prison guard, and he was idle at home. ”
Du Shiyi smiled and punched Jiang Du in the shoulder, and then looked at Gao Lishi. However, I haven't seen him for more than a year, and this former first eunuch who has always been well-maintained actually looks very old, his face is wrinkled, and only his eyes are still bright. He and Gao Lishi have been dealing with each other for a long time, and they have become closer because of Du Siwen's relationship, but even so, through the various generous gifts given to Gao Lishi by his hand, I am afraid that he will already reach all the net worth of a high-ranking official. However, compared to the help and support he received from Colliers, the effort was undoubtedly well worth it.
Facing the high-spirited Du Shiyi, Gao Lishi only felt mixed feelings. Up to now, even if he doesn't know that Mobei was in chaos for a while, and the news was completely cut off from the smoke bomb released by Du Shiyi, he can at least understand that after the battle of Chang'an to relieve the siege, the huge Du family has officially torn off the hazy veil of the past and completely revealed it in front of everyone! This time he was able to defend Chang'an City, although Pei Kuan also mobilized a lot of officials, but as the mainstay, it was completely the Du family - from Du Shiyi's youngest son Du Youlin, son-in-law Cui Peng, disciple Yu Wenxian, in-law Jiang Du, and drinking friend Dou Yi, everyone played a crucial role.
However, Gao Lishi, who once put aside the gains and losses of his interests and pleaded for Li Heng, in his bones, was loyal to the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty after all, so he was not very good in his heart. At this moment, he sighed deeply and said, "I thought that the next step was just to wait for death, but I didn't expect such a turnaround." With Shuofang Guo Dashuai personally leading the army to pursue, the rebels will definitely withdraw from Guanzhong. I heard Wei Xianggong say, there has been a large army breaking into Hebei to outflank the thief's lair, and then Du Dashuai will personally lead the army and fight a decisive battle with the thief rebel army in Heluo? ”
Colliers has already met Wei Jiansu so soon?
Du Shiyi suddenly laughed, but did not speak. It wasn't until Gao Lishi was obviously a little out of breath that he said word by word: "Elder Gao, we have been dealing with each other for decades. Don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, even if you think it's a big rebellion, but I have to say it. In fact, when your majesty is old, it is time for your children and grandchildren to come out and take care of things, and enjoy the blessings yourself! ”
Although there was already a bit of speculation, Du Shiyi spit out such a sentence directly, and Gao Lishi still gasped. He glared at Du Shiyi angrily, and wanted to scold the other party with a straight face, but in the face of his gaze that did not dodge or shy away from looking directly into his eyes, it was not the first day he had dealt with people, and he knew that Du Shiyi had obviously made up his mind, even if he really fought for his life, it was impossible to change the other party's decision. He could only look at Jiang Du helplessly, lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Shilang, you have received the emperor's grace in the world, do you also see that Du Jiulang will not be able to embark on this road of no return?" Forcing the monarch to retire, where is the etiquette? ”
"By the Emperor's grace? Elder Gao, what you said is a bit wrong, the last thing I believe is that the thunder, rain and dew are Jun'en! Back then, His Majesty wanted to abolish the queen, but he wanted to be a bitch but he still had to set up a memorial arch, while discussing with Grandpa, but on the other hand, he still wanted to hide it. So as soon as Wang Shou found out about the matter and leaked the news, he immediately pushed Grandpa out as a scapegoat! Can't be punished by doctors, can't be courteous to people, exiled after a heavy cane, how old was my grandfather at that time, how could he withstand such humiliation! Not to mention my grandfather, over the years, there have been fewer ministers of the DPRK and China who have died under the sticks, is this the etiquette and morality? Besides, if he, the Son of Heaven, had really had etiquette, he would not have forced Princess Taiping to death in the first place, and then forced Emperor Ruizong to abdicate! ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Du laughed again: "Elder Gao, you were just icing on the cake in the past, and you didn't give charcoal in the snow, but this time you pleaded bitterly for the matter of Prince Li Heng, I admire that you are still loyal to Your Majesty at that time, but it's a pity that people don't appreciate it!" When he escaped from Chang'an with Yang Guozhong and those people, did he remember you? If it weren't for Du Shijiu's timely arrival, Chang'an City would have finally withstood the rebels' offensive, maybe you would have become a piece of fat in the rebels' mouths along with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City! ”
When Jiang Du's words came to an end, Du Shiyi opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Gao, I don't know if you saw the scene when Your Majesty entered the city today?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Colliers immediately fell silent. Even if he was settling down with Jiang Du in Xingqing Palace and Daming Palace before, but the situation in the outside world, Mai Xiong and the servants in the family saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and quietly reported it to him, plus what he heard when he stayed in Chang'an before, how could he not know that Li Longji was not far from losing the hearts of the people? So, he took a deep breath, lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "I heard that when Du Dashuai was in Ma Weiyi, he once stopped the generals from committing violence against Princess Guangping and the two concubines of King Guangping, could it be that he planned to support the eldest son of King Guangping?" ”
This time, even Jiang Du was inexplicably surprised. He immediately turned his head to stare at Du Shiyi and asked incredulously, "The son of King Guangping?" In terms of seniority, he is the great-grandson of His Majesty! But that's right, I think that after Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, the enthroned Emperor Xuan is not also the great-grandson of Emperor Wu! ”
Seeing that Jiang Du was already seriously considering this matter, Gao Lishi was angry and funny, and had to increase his tone: "But Don't forget, Du Dashuai, although you have some connections with the Yang family in the past, but this time Concubine Shu and Yang Guozhong died, and the officials and people hated the Yang family deeply. ”
"Princess Cui of Guangping is a married woman, and the Yang family's sins naturally have nothing to do with her. However, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is unforgivable, as her mother-in-law, she left all the other concubines and children of the King of Guangping in Chang'an, how immoral she is, and if she can keep the position of the princess, she should celebrate with her hands, how can she think about anything else? In addition, such as Mrs. Qin Guo of South Korea, and Yang Guozhong's wife Pei Shi and other daughters, stealing their orders to high positions, now that Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuyao are dead, these titles such as Mrs. Guo should also be taken away together to reassure the people. ”
Such a thing should have been decided by the Son of Heaven, but now Du Shiyi said it in a tone like eating and drinking, Gao Lishi only felt that his temples were bursting suddenly, and his whole head seemed to explode. He just wanted to test whether Du Shiyi was planning to support the son of the Cui family, but Du Shiyi not only did not answer this question, but wanted to directly attack the Yang family whose chicken dog ascended to heaven. The Yang family has fallen, how can the son of the Cui family still have that possibility?
"Since Du Dashuai has already made up his mind, what do you want me to do?"
Seeing that Gao Lishi had obviously given a blow to the left and the right to the right, Du Shiyi said lightly: "Elder Gao must also be worried about His Majesty's safety, so go back to the palace to provoke the girder of the inner guard." If there is something you can't figure out, you can also persuade from the side. This world is not the world of one person, it is the world of the world!
As for what you just said about forcing the monarch to retreat, I just said that if Your Majesty really doesn't want to, then I naturally have nothing to do. But you have seen the situation outside, His Majesty can still be decent now that he has retired, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the dragons and phoenixes who have been suppressed for too long in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion will also be able to toss! By the way, by the way, His Majesty fled west this time, and the high-grade eunuchs of the inner prison followed almost all of them, and there was no one left of the prison gate general, Jiang Si and Dou Shi would be reluctant to be the left and right prison gate generals for the time being. ”
Over the years, all the generals in the prison gate have been eunuchs, and Du Shiyi's just this sentence is equivalent to depriving the eunuchs of their control over the palace gate. However, he had heard too much of the rebellious words just now, and he was no longer able to argue about anything. When he staggered away, his back looked extremely gloomy.
"Colliers is old." Jiang Du sighed casually, but then changed the topic and asked, "But the question he just asked, I also want to know, do you plan to personally lead the troops to fight against the rebels?" ”
"It'll be revealed soon." Du Shiyi saw Jiang Du glaring at him in annoyance, so he smiled and said, "Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be changes in the court." ”
"The one in the palace looks like this now, can he go to court early?" Jiang Du's eyes widened, and when he saw Du Shiyi's meaningful expression, he suddenly realized, "I see...... No wonder you let Colliers go back to the palace! ”
The precarious days of just a few days have become a thing of the past, and the people in Chang'an City are ecstatic, but the people who are even happier are in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion. Because he walked in a hurry, coupled with the unexplained violence of the crown prince Li Heng and the king of Rong, not every dragon son and phoenix grandson was able to follow the Son of Heaven to flee west. Some of them also wanted to follow after hearing the news, but when Pei Guangren beat gongs and drums in the city, he vigorously announced that Shuofang's reinforcements would arrive soon.
Now that such a frightened day has finally come to an end, they can in turn laugh at those brothers and sisters who fled with the Son of Heaven and have not yet returned. However, there was laughter and laughter in many mansions, and even quietly summed up who would be the owner of the ownerless East Palace again.
But for the concubines and children in the palace of the crown prince Li Heng, although the threat of death has passed, all that remains is gloom and despair. Especially Zhang Liangdi, who is the granddaughter of Mrs. Deng Guo and was once favored by Li Longji, has no spirit at all.
Even if her life can be saved, what is left of her? Li Heng is dead, she has no children, and the best ending is only to be taken back by her mother's family, but how can she live the rest of her life? Not everyone is as good as Jiang Du, the heir of Chu Guogong, who can be so good to his sister Jiang who escaped Wei Jian's difficulty!
"Liangdi, Liangdi!" Li Jingzhong rushed into the room quickly, and when he saw Zhang Liangdi looking at her expressionlessly, he came to her side with a wind under his feet, and said in the lowest voice, "Dou Shilang is here." ”
