Chapter 458: The Great Purge 4 Li Heng's cold voice echoed in the empty hall, and in the early hours of the morning, the hall was extremely silent, which made his laughter sound particularly strange and gloomy, and Li Mi and other courtiers were solemn in their hearts, shivering, and did not dare to say anything.
There is only one thing the emperor wants to do at present, and that is revenge and purge.
"Li Mi, the old slave of Gao Lishi deceived me Shengsheng from the Lin De Hall to the Xuanzheng Yuan, and the reason why Yu Chaoen, a group of eunuchs, was able to plot a rebellion and rebellion, and almost killed me, is closely related to Gao Lishi's cooperation and collusion.
This old thief is deeply guilty of my sins against the court, and he should have executed the Zhulian Nine Clans in Ling Chi, but in his love for serving the Emperor Taishang for decades, I opened a face to Li Mi, you personally go to Xingqing Palace to announce my oral message, and early tomorrow morning, escort the Emperor Taishang to Lishan Palace, as for Gao Lishi, give him a glass of poisoned wine, and let him judge himself. ” The emperor's gloomy voice sounded, Li Mi sighed lightly, and bowed down: "The minister obeys the order" The emperor's understatement decided the fate of the most famous eunuch of the dynasty, Gao Lishi.
Colliers has been loyal to the Li Tang royal family all his life, and in the end, such a tragic end, how can he not make people sigh Kong Sheng went to maintain law and order in Chang'an City after the chaos and arrested some suspects who were implicated in Yu Chaoen.
Li Mi went to Xingqing Palace to announce how to deal with the old emperor and Gao Lishi, and took responsibility for the matter to the end.
Zhu Huiguang was busy dealing with the suspicious spies in the Inner Servant Province, and he wanted to clean up the entire Inner Palace according to the emperor's requirements.
The courtiers were ordered to leave in turn, and only Li Heng and Li Yu, father and son, were left in the palace.
Li Hengyin's gaze was firmly fixed on Li Yu's face, even if there was any slight emotional change on Li Yu's face, it was difficult to escape his observation.
Li Yu's expression was calm, but he sneered in his heart.
Li Yu has no fear of his father, even if Li Heng sometimes shows the hegemonic monopoly and the deep side of the city, Li Yu is not afraid.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became oppressive and dreary.
Li Heng suddenly said softly: "I was the crown prince in the past, I was cautious for decades, guarded the door of the East Palace, and never dared to slack off.
The Emperor Taishang was strict with me, and even tried to depose me as the prince several times, but I never dared to complain. ” Li Heng suddenly said this, and the corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched, knowing that the emperor was hinting and beating himself.
But this kind of words, Li Yu couldn't interject, he could only listen, anyway, the emperor must have the following, just listen.
"When I think about it now, the past is like a dream.
However, I am now not flustered in dealing with national affairs, and I know how to forbear three points when encountering problems, which is the heart tempered in the past.
Therefore, I am grateful to the Emperor Taishang to this day, if it wasn't for the beginning, I would not be where I am today."
Li Heng slowly got up.
Li Yu said in his heart: Temper a hammer, you are cowardly to the emperor's grandfather, how can you ever have a trace of gratitude, and some are also resentful, but Li Yu still bowed silently and said respectfully: "The son is willing to abide by his duty and listen to his father's teachings."
Li Heng smiled slightly: "What I did in Maweipo in the past was also forced by the situation, and I was forced to do so.
An Lushan rebelled, the Tang Dynasty was in danger, the Emperor Taishang was bewitched by the traitorous ministers, and had to flee to Shuzhong, I had to stand up for the sake of my ancestors' family business. ” Li Yu sneered in his heart: I can't wait to come forward, take advantage of the fire to rob Speaking of which, you should be grateful to An Lushan's Hu'er, if there is no An clan's army, how can you and my father and son be today "Now that we have today's situation, it is only a matter of time before the imperial court is stable, the rebellion will be quelled, and the Tang Dynasty will return to its former prosperity.
Therefore, I hope that you and I, father and son, can work together to maintain the stability of the world, create a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and lead all countries to the dynasty, do you think so" Li Heng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Li Yu.
Li Yu sighed in his heart, understanding that the emperor had made his words clear, and he wanted to calm down and keep his duty as the prince, if there were any more signs and signs of "not being able to hold his breath", I am afraid that the emperor would not continue to maintain a certain degree of tolerance.
But Li Yu never felt that he had anything excessive.
The matter of the Xuanzheng Yuan before was also forced by the situation, so could it be that any eunuch in the palace would coerce and manipulate the ancestor's Jiangshan Sheji into the hands of a eunuch, which was impossible in any case Li Yu sneered in his heart, but his mouth was very respectful: "The son must obey the will of his father."
"Go ahead, I'm tired and want to sleep a little longer."
Li Heng waved his hand, and his voice became obviously old and tired.
Li Yu knew that his bitter words, full of warnings and hints, Li Yu didn't really take it to heart.
But Li Heng still has to say that he really doesn't want to face the bloody scene of father and son seizing power in the future.
Li Yu bowed down: "Father and emperor take care of the dragon body, and the son will retire" Li Yu hurriedly walked out of the main hall, and outside the hall, Li Yu, Li Shi and others were waiting for the East Palace Guards.
Li Yu threw a hint at Li Shi, Li Shi understood, and hurriedly ordered the East Palace Guards to quietly evacuate from the Xuanwu Gate and leave the Daming Palace.
Donggong Wei led the Nuo people into the palace, although there was a name for counterinsurgency, but it also caused the emperor's taboo.
The emperor didn't say it, but he was still unhappy in his heart, if Li Yu didn't know the current affairs, I was afraid that the emperor would take advantage of the excuse to clean up the East Palace.
This time, the crown prince Li Yu did not seek any benefits in this rebellion, and only got a false name for guarding the palace ban.
Xingqing Palace, outside the main entrance.
After a storm, Xingqing Palace is in line with the master's mood at the moment, and it is silent.
The night was as cool as water, and the eastern sky was white with a fish's belly, and the dawn appeared.
Li Mi stood outside the palace gate with a few entourages, but his expression was complicated and hesitant, and he was reluctant to enter.
Under the strict orders of the emperor, he was responsible for supervising the old emperor to leave Beijing early tomorrow morning and be placed under house arrest in the Lishan Palace in the future.
To give Gao Lishi so many things is undoubtedly a deep blow to the old emperor, and Li Mi can't even imagine whether the old emperor can still hold on to it after this toss.
Li Mi didn't know what to say or how to face the old emperor, so he hesitated.
After all, he was also a vassal of the old emperor in the past.
In the early hours of the morning, in the streets and alleys, there was a sudden dense sound of horses' hooves, which was slightly harsh.
Li Mi frowned, looked back, and saw Kong Sheng in white clothes and bright armor holding his iconic Fang Tian painting halberd, majestically and murderously leading more than 100 escorts to gallop over.

When he got closer, Kong Sheng immediately bowed his hand to Li Mi and said: "Li Xiang, Kong was ordered by His Majesty to come to Xingqing Palace to cooperate with Li Xiang. ” Li Mi gasped.
The emperor sent Kong Sheng to supervise himself, and he was afraid that the old emperor would disobey his orders, so that Kong Sheng would lead people to cooperate, in fact, the old emperor was escorted out of Beijing in disguise to Lishan Palace to recuperate, which was equivalent to imprisonment.
In this way, the emperor has indeed made a determination beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Otherwise, Kong Sheng, who was armed with weapons and armor all over his body, led the army to Xingqing Palace and mobilized the crowd to Xingqing Palace Li Mi took a deep breath and returned the salute: "The general has worked hard."
Kong Sheng smiled: "Kong is not hard, but Li Xiang's body is a scribe, and he works all night, so he has to take care of his body."
Okay, Li Xiang, Your Majesty is still waiting for a reply in the palace, I'll wait for this to enter Xingqing Palace."
Kong Sheng meant that the emperor couldn't wait, and he would send the old emperor out of Beijing early tomorrow morning to be confined in Lishan, and if he hesitated any longer, it would definitely make the emperor suspicious.
The emperor did not secretly observe the matter behind the scenes.
It's just that for the shadow guard, the emperor's self-confidence, which was originally too strong, has been somewhat reduced.
In fact, the emperor did not sleep peacefully in the palace as outsiders imagined.
This night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
The old emperor has become a thorn in his heart, as long as he does not remove it for a day, he will sleep and eat restlessly.
As for the ambitious eunuchs in the palace, the emperor thought that he could purge them.
But the old emperor is a blatant threat, if there are any more people in the court who use the old emperor as a guise to talk about things, or plot rebellion, next time, will he get out safely Li Heng was afraid when he thought about it.
This is the key to the fact that he can't wait to deal with the old emperor's affairs. arranged for Li Mi to come to announce the edict, but he was still not very relieved, worried that the old emperor and his sworn friends would disobey the order and rebound, so he added the edict and asked Kong Sheng to lead the army to cooperate with Li Mi.
The emperor's dictation conveyed by Zhu Huiguang was to let Kong Sheng lead the forbidden army to purge the remnants and cooperate with Li Mi, Kong Sheng only brought more than 100 guards this time, which was already a marginal game.
Originally, according to the emperor's edict, he was asked to lead the forbidden army to besiege the palace.
Kong Sheng didn't want to alarm the government and the opposition, and he didn't want to bear the infamy of persecuting the old emperor, so he played a sideline ball and only brought more than 100 guards to Xingqing Palace symbolically, which was not considered to be disobeying the emperor's will.
In fact, the siege of the forbidden army was too trivial in Kong Sheng's opinion.
There are only a few hundred palace guards around the old emperor of Xingqing Palace, and these people are all hardcore old men who follow him in Shu, but these guards are loyal and loyal, but they dare not disobey the emperor's edict at all.
As for the general Chen Xuanli and Yan Zhenqing in the imperial history, they are even more insignificant.
As long as Chen Xuanli is not a fool, he knows that the matter has come to this, and he can only obey and accept his fate, once he disobeys the order, his hundreds of people can only hit the emperor's knife.
Being content with the status quo and bearing the mandate of heaven is the key to Chen Xuanli's close door and never interacting with the outside world since he returned to Chang'an.
If he still had ideas, he would have had frequent contacts with the courtiers of the clan who had been friends in the past.
These days, he's all about two points and one line.
Xingqing Palace is on duty, and then goes back to the house to make fun of his grandson, and he is happy.
The emperor wants to give Gao Lishi death, and Kong Sheng has just gotten the news.
From the bottom of his heart, Kong Sheng felt sorry.
He didn't have any ill feelings towards Gao Lishi, but Gao Lishi did something helpless at a helpless point in time, touching the emperor's bottom line, even if Kong Sheng had the heart to intercede for him, he would not be recognized by the emperor.
If you can't say it, it's better not to say it. oshow7 t1706231537:
