The army returned triumphantly, and Lishi returned to Beijing with Li Qianli. In the morning when the army entered the city, he lined up solemnly outside Mingdemen
General Right Jinwu was in the middle, and the attack commander Li Qianli was beside him
Li Shi put on a military uniform and was listed on the right side of Li Qianli as a follower.
Li Shi seemed very excited when he rode on the horse. He was stunned by the majesty and beauty of the capital, and did not feel any cold at all.
When the sun came out, the street drums in the capital were solemnly ringing
In order to make the queen like him, Li Qianli had to teach Lishi some court etiquette and opened up the Sigongtai to pass on the message on his behalf.
On this day, Li Qianli personally led a team of men to Dacien Temple to pray for the Lishu to cleanse the sins of the Lishu. The next day, he sent the steward to send the Lishu to the palace.
Sigongtai was the eunuch in front of him, and there were more than a thousand eunuchs under his jurisdiction, each performing his duties.
Lishi found that the division of labor of eunuchs was very detailed and very strict. Most eunuchs only worked in errands, such as cleaning, meals, clothing, carriages, horses, food, grass, flowers and trees, etc., and were the eunuchs.
Only a few people can truly serve the emperor, and even fewer people can be favored.
Lishi heard that some eunuchs had been in the palace for more than ten or twenty years, but they didn't even know what the emperor looked like.
The eunuch who died of old age in the palace, rolled up a broken straw mat, was carried out like a dead dog, and then buried it.
Li Qianli asked him to get used to it in the palace for a few days before he said to him: I will take you to meet the emperor at this moment. If the emperor can take a fancy to you, it is your fate that you must be careful when you make a mistake. If there is a slight mistake, you will be beaten at the worst, and you will be beheaded at the worst. You must do your own thing.
Lis nodded quickly
Li Shi followed Li Qianli, guided by the eunuch, passed through several corridors, and finally came to Wu Zetian's bedroom.
After the eunuch went in to report, Li Qianli led the strong men into the palace and bowed together: Li Qianli, my minister, bowed to the emperor, wishing me long live long live long live long live long live long!
Wu Zetian was wearing gorgeous casual clothes, surrounded by a bunch of flowers, and was less majestic, but more charming.
Wu Zetian, who was in her seventies, was covered in makeup, but her head was still covered with black hair, but she didn't see a single white hair.
She smiled and said: Is there anything I want to report to me today?
Li Qianli said: I have reported to the emperor that I have found a private confession from Lingnan. I dare not use it myself. I will pay my respects to the emperor.
A private lewd?
Wu Zetian asked with interest: What is private vain?
Li Qianli hurriedly said: Your Majesty, the local people in Lingnan called the cleansed child a private official who came to Lingnan this time and happened to find a masterpiece.
When Wu Zetian heard this, she slowly sat upright: "Good quality? OK, let me see!"
Li Qianli waved his hand and said: Li Shi, come here to pay homage to the emperor!
The strong man did not dare to neglect and knelt down quickly: I bow to the emperor and wish my emperor a long life!
Wu Zetian frowned. She hadn't noticed the eunuch behind Li Qianli just now, and said in surprise: Isn't this... this slave in the palace?
Li Qianli said: Please forgive me. After this child came back from Lingnan, he did not understand the etiquette in the palace. I sent him to the palace for training, so I still had time to report to the emperor.
Wu Zetian nodded and said: It’s easy to raise your head and let me see clearly!
Li Shi raised his head respectfully and stood without squinting eyes
Wu Zetian looked carefully up and down
I saw the child in front of me was burly, handsome, and full of vitality
Wu Zetian smiled
Wu Zetian's every move fell into Li Qianli's eyes. He couldn't help but feel at ease and listened to the queen: It's a good child, but it's a pity that she has cleaned herself.
As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, she felt that she had lost her words and said hurriedly: Since you have the will to purify yourself, then stay!
Li Qianli bowed to thank him, and then said: Emperor, this child not only knows calligraphy and etiquette, but also knows a little boxing skills, so he can relieve the emperor's boredom at any time.
Wu Zetian was immediately excited: Oh! So there is this trick!
She could not deny that Li Qianli was indeed good at judging his thoughts. Just looking at the private liar sent by today, she was not only handsome, but also virtuous, and she didn't believe it in the palace.
Li Qianli said: If the emperor is interested, he can let this child perform.
When Wu Zetian heard this, she wanted to see what he had. She said immediately: OK, let him show his skills.
She waved her hand, and several eunuchs immediately took action and sorted out an empty space in the venue.
The strong man knelt down to Wu Zetian and said: "I'm so ugly."
After saying that, he clasped his fists with his hands, then he jumped up and kicked his legs, and punched like the wind. Although he didn't see any skills, he also found that his skills were good.
Li Shi has practiced some martial arts with his father since childhood, and has never stopped after leaving his mother. Although he has not made great progress in the past few years, he is now very sensible and worthy of being a famous general.
Wu Zetian also applauded while watching, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him also agreed.
After the Deliver performance was finished, Wu Zetian asked: What is your name? What is your father's name?
Liss said one by one, very clever
After hearing this, Wu Zetian smiled and said: Aren’t you like a strong man? Or is it better than Feng Yuanyi, Feng Ang, a man, I have heard of him. He was a hero of the previous emperor. No wonder you can play with fists and sticks. It turns out that since the master became a famous family, why did he cleanse himself?
When Li Shi asked, he said it briefly
After hearing this, Wu Zetian asked: Do you know what crime his father committed?
The strong man quickly knelt down and kowtowed: I am a fashionable and young man, but I don’t know what his father committed? The wise man is wise and peaceful in all over the world, and his father was guilty of his own fault.
Wu Zetian said expressionlessly: You are very good at speaking and your father is guilty, and it may not be the fault of his own.
Then he passed the imperial edict orally, named Li Qianli the Right Jinwu General, and said with a smile: I have accepted your gift, I didn’t expect you to have such good eyesight!
Li Qianli thanked him repeatedly and left Li Shi and became Wu Zetian's close servant.
There are many people serving the queen. Just count it, there are dozens of people.
Because of his strength, Lishi is in charge of the Queen's bathing position
There were more than a dozen people serving the Queen, each performing their own duties, and the task of Lishi was to prepare water
Wu Zetian bathed in the morning and evening every day. Each bath required more than ten loads of water. First, the eunuch of the coarse eunuch took over and sent it to the door of the bedroom. Then Lishi was responsible for lifting the water to the bathtub.
Next is to debug the water temperature, add spices, and finally sprinkle fresh petals on the pool water, and the task is completed
After all the work was ready, Lix stood outside the bathroom to serve, wait for the queen to finish bathing, then go inside to release water and clean the bathhouse
Other things such as changing clothes, bathing, etc., if the queen has something to do, she will pull the golden bell, and a palace maid will answer.
After spending a long time in the palace, Li Shi gradually got to know Wu Zetian a little
Wu Zetian is a brave emperor and a very lewd woman
The day when the strong men entered the palace was the time when Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were favored
Lishi saw that the two Zhangs deliberately dressed up every day, applied makeup, painted eyebrows, drizzled with chicken tongue, and put on magnolia bags. They made them look like they were both male and female, which made them disgusting.
The debauchery in the palace made the strongman feel chaotic, and the cruelty in the palace made the strongman even more frightened.
He was careful in doing things everywhere, but he still annoyed Wu Zetian
One day, Li Shi went to Fengchen Mansion for something. As soon as he arrived at the garden outside the mansion, he saw several entourage teasing a palace maid.
When the palace maid saw someone coming, she shouted loudly: Father-in-law, help!
Lishi knew that these worshippers were all from Er Zhang, and they were a group of robbers who could not afford to offend him. Although Lishi heard the palace maid shouting, he pretended not to hear it, and lowered his head and walked on his own.
The palace maid screamed a few more times, and a worshiper smiled and said: What kind of father-in-law? It's just a rootless duck, an eggless chicken, a fake man, have you taken a fancy to him? OK, I'll give you my wishes!
Pointing to Li Shi, he said: Come here! She wants you, father-in-law to help you, just save her and let us men watch Lele on the side
The other two worshippers followed suit and pushed the palace maid into the arms of Lishi: Come on! Let's see if you are a real man or a fake man
The more powerful listened, the more angry he became, he clenched his fists with both hands, and he endured his words.
Seeing that he was silent, the three worshippers thought he was easy to bully, they came up to take his pants and said, "Let us see, don't get into a real man and defile the harem."
Even the clay man has a rustic nature. When the strong man heard this, he could no longer bear it. He punched a sacrifice on the nose and suddenly he was bleeding.
Seeing this, the other two worshippers rushed forward at the same time, one hugging his head and the other hugging his feet, trying to drag the strongman over.
After all, Lishi had some skills. He swept his legs and kicked one over, turned his hand and hit the other one in the belly. He turned three times and four times, and three worshippers were beaten to pieces and fled in panic.
Li Shi knew that he had caused a big disaster and hurriedly left. Unexpectedly, he left Fengchen Mansion, and the palace guards followed him, rushed forward, and tied Li Shi tightly together.
Finally, he was sent to the second Zhang of Fengchen Mansion. Two Zhang ordered three worshipers to fight back and beat and kick the strong man. However, he still couldn't relieve his hatred, so he asked Wu Zetian to send him to the Magistrate's Court and hand him over to Lai Junchen for trial.
The person who was tried by Lai Junchen can be said to have a life of death. Even if he does not die, he will have to peel off his skin.
Wu Zetian pondered for a while, on one side was her face and her close servant. No need to compare, the close servant was her life, and the close servant was just a rag
But recalling Li Shi's good face, it was a pity that Lai Junchen was deposed, so he said: There are rules in the palace in the palace, so there is no need to send Li Shi to the Magistrate Academy to the first offense, and he will be beaten twenty, and he will be driven out of the palace.
That's it. Lishi was expelled from the palace. Three days have passed in a blink of an eye. During these three days, he has been lying on the bed of the small inn. The whip on his back is really painful.
Although the whip was not healed, he knew that he could not continue to be beaten because he didn't have much money and could only last for a few days at most.
During his bed recovery, he felt very regretful about his punching and offerings, and he shouldn't be so impulsive.
I am a rootless grass and an eggless chicken. If I make a few scolds, why should I beat you tightly? So what if I take off my pants for someone!
Just let them make fun of it
Since becoming a castrator, will there be less teasing these days?
Now that he has left the palace and has no place to settle down, he knows that it is not easy to make a living alone. In the palace, although he is a humble slave, he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and does not have to worry about everything. However, he has only been away from the palace for three days and is already in a panic all day long.
Liss took out the ruby from the bracelet from his pocket, and the gambling thoughts about people, his mother, brother and sister appeared in front of him. They don’t know where they are now?
Lingnan is six thousand miles away from the capital, and I am afraid there will be no chance of reunion in this life!
Thinking of his mother's decline, his father's death due to accusation, his family's accident, and his own experience, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his clothes were wet.
He calculated that it was only half a year since he entered the palace. Although it was short, in the past six months, he had seen all the corruption, debauchery, shamelessness, and cruelty in the palace, which were far beyond his imagination.
After thinking about it, Li Shi finally had an idea and planned to find Li Qianli, the commander of the attack. He sent himself into the palace, hoping that he could talk to him and let him return to the palace.
In the past six months, he has not seen Li Qianli, nor has he heard from him. I wonder if Li Qianli feels ungrateful?
While thinking about it, Li Shi found Li Qianli's mansion in his memory
Finally, he found this familiar door. Li Shi asked the concierge to inform him with a happy face. Unexpectedly, the concierge only glanced at him and told him that Lord Li had been promoted and had been outside Beijing for half a year. There was no decision on when he would come back.
When Lishi heard this, he lost his mind and his only hope was lost.
If you touch the small amount of money in your bag, you will have less than one day. How can you survive in the future?
He left Li's mansion and staggered on the streets of the imperial city
The streets are green on both sides, and there are deep courtyards everywhere. The courtyards are deep, but the spring scenery in the garden cannot be locked. Peach blossoms and apricot blossoms all poked their heads out of the wall to report to passers-by.
But in Lishi's heart, it was as cold as falling into an ice cellar
These days, the Lishi has been wandering around the imperial city for a few days. He has visited the mansion of Princess Taiping, King Wu Chengsi of Wei, and King Wu Sansi of Liang, waiting outside the door to wait for them to enter and exit, stopping their horse sedan chair, hoping that they will take him in, but before they even approached the opening several times, they were bombarded by the guards with swords.
Lishi finally gave up. So what if he saw these people? He was just a eunuch with no identity in the palace. Lishi certainly knew these big men, but these big men did not know him.
The more he thought about it, the more he became discouraged. He thought that he would be empty in one or two days, and he couldn't help but lose the confidence to live.
On that night, Lis paid the money for the store, bought some wine and food for the remaining money, poured and drank by himself. In the middle of the night, he slipped out of the small inn
He didn't want to die in a small inn with little profits, so as not to cause trouble for them. Besides, the inn might not bury him. He couldn't say that he would just roll a straw mat and drag it out of the city to feed the wild dogs.
Even if you want to die, you can't let the wild dogs get dismembered. The strongman told him
He walked aimlessly and came to the north end of the east city. This area is home to high-ranking officials and nobles. At the door of a mansion with red green tiles, he saw a big tree emerging from the wall with vigorous and upright trunks.
Liss took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to tie the straps on the tree, and brought a few bricks to him, and then put the straps into his neck, and his feet were suddenly hugged.
Li Shi looked down and found that it was a few guards with swords and cursed: Where did you come from? How dare you come here to hang yourself during the curfew? If you want to defile our prince, you will be able to do so.
Several guards of the palace did not want to say anything, put his arms on the right and left, and took him into the palace, intending to hand him over to the head of the government.
At this moment, a voice sounded: What happened?
Looking in the sound, I saw two people slowly approaching. One was an eunuch over forty. Next to him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
The guards of the palace hurriedly said in unison: Prince, Eunuch Gao!
The eunuch asked: Who is this person?
A guard of the palace puts his feelings one by one
After listening, the eunuch walked to Lishi and said: Raise your head!
Li Shi looked up as he said, and when he looked closely, he felt that the eunuch in front of him was very kind, thinking that this person must have seen him in the palace.
And that young man, I believe he is the prince. Judging from his appearance, he is about his age, but he is majestic, handsome and majestic, and indeed extraordinary.
The eunuch looked up and down the Li Shi and said: I seem to have seen you somewhere, what are you doing?
Li Shi told him about his experience. Both of them nodded after hearing this. The young man said angrily: It was the good thing that those two guys did again, but you are wrong. Even if you are desperate, you can't seek death. As the saying goes, it's better to live than to die. You have to survive and then start from scratch.
Then he said to the eunuch beside him: Eunuch Gao, let's keep him
Then Eunuch Gao said justice: Yes, let him follow me
It turned out that this young man was Li Longji. The eunuch named Gao and his name was Yanfu. He was poor and was sold here as a slave. He was deeply trusted by the Prime Minister Li Dan. When Gao Yanfu was in his twenties, Li Dan found a position in the palace and served as Xi Guancheng, an adjutant of the Sigongtai, who was responsible for dealing with old age or illness. He was promoted to Xi Guanling several years later.
Recently promoted to the Palace Order of the Palace Bureau, responsible for serving the Palace, entering and leaving the keys, and serving as the supervisor of the visitor, serving as the post of conveying the emperor's imperial edict.
The official order is a sixth-rank official. In the palace rules, all eunuchs who are ranked first are allowed to marry and get married. Although eunuchs marrying are a decoration, if they have a wife, they have a family, and they can live a family life like ordinary people. At the same time, they can adopt adopted sons, adopted daughters, and have wives and children, which is not inferior to ordinary families.
The next day, Gao Yanfu called Li Shi and said: Child, according to the rules of the palace, it is impossible for those who have been expelled from the palace to enter the palace again. Why not do this? I can take you in as my adopted son, would you rather?
Li Shi was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed: If Lord Meng refuses to abandon him, the child is willing to recognize him as his father and serve him for life.
Gao Yanfu was very happy and set up a ancestral spiritual seat in his home, lit incense and candles, let Lishi give a big gift, and formally adopted him as his adopted son.
Gao Yanfu said: My ancestors and ancestors are above. From then on, my son’s surname is Gao and his name is Gao Lishi. Can you remember it?
Gao Lishi kowtowed again: Dad, my son Gao Lishi remembered
Gao Yanfu, as a palace commander, did not forget the kindness of the old master, often went to and from Li Longji's mansion to serve him.
Gao Yanfu took the initiative to ask Gao Lishi to help him in Li's house
Li Longji said to Gao Lishi: Even the people around the emperor dare to bully those worshippers, so he deserves to be beaten!
A word made Gao Lishi feel warm and grateful to Li Longji
Li Longji didn't dislike Gao Lishi being a eunuch. He talked and laughed with him. Over time, the two of them became very familiar with each other.
Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji practiced military martial arts from time to time, and he was itchy when he saw it. He also practiced with Li Longji several times, which won Li Longji's applause.
During the conversation between the two, Li Longji learned about Gao Lishi's life experience, one year older than him. Li Longji said to him with regret: You are truly worthy of being a famous general. Unfortunately, you have good martial arts skills but cannot serve the court. If you are not a eunuch, I will promote you well.
Gao Lishi said in tears: The prince is too rewarded! A scholar dies for his confidant. If the prince dies without complaints in the future, if there is a place to be useful for the servant, please ask the prince to give instructions, and the servant goes through fire and water, and he will never refuse!
Two Qingqing men, although they are one master and one servant, have the same spirit
Two years later, Li Longji was sent to Luzhou for a business trip. He only went home once a year, and the two met less, but every time they met, they had a very happy conversation.
It was not until the first year of Shenlong that Empress Wu Zetian officially gave way to Li Xian, and the fifty-year-old Li Xian ascended the throne again
Gao Yanfu still retained the position of official order. Taking advantage of the opportunity of changing dynasties, he introduced Gao Lishi to the palace and placed it in the palace bureau to serve as the position of palace chief.
During his days when he returned to the palace, he witnessed the dirty things between Queen Wei and Princess Anle with his own eyes, and also saw the baptisms of blood and fire in the palace.
The five kings were falsely accused of the prince Li Chongjun's rebellion in a coup, and he was all in sight. The one who sighed the most was Li Qianli, who had first entered the palace gate, sacrificed his life in this prince's rebellion.
Gao Lishi did not participate in this coup, but in his heart, he really hoped that the coup would be successful because he hated Empress Wei and Princess Anle too much.
In this palace coup, Empress Wei was not weakened, but became stronger and stronger, with greater power than before. The status of Wu Sansi's clerk Zong Chuke and others in the past was also consolidated than before.
However, it is directly related to Gao Lishi. After the coup, the status of the eunuch was improved. Eunuch Yang Sixu was favored by Li Xian and Empress Wei because of his contribution to rescue the emperor in Xuanwu Tower. He was first appointed as the Inspector of the Ministry of Eunuchs, and later was appointed as the Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, a third-rank official.
Li Xian and Empress Wei began to trust and use eunuchs. The eunuchs with some backing gained a lot of benefits.
Gao Shili has no merits and no mistakes, and he is still the palace chief in the palace bureau.
But he directly felt that few people made fun of eunuchs now, and this was the only thing that Gao Lishi deserved to be happy about.
General Right Jinwu was in the middle, and the attack commander Li Qianli was beside him
Li Shi put on a military uniform and was listed on the right side of Li Qianli as a follower.
Li Shi seemed very excited when he rode on the horse. He was stunned by the majesty and beauty of the capital, and did not feel any cold at all.
When the sun came out, the street drums in the capital were solemnly ringing
In order to make the queen like him, Li Qianli had to teach Lishi some court etiquette and opened up the Sigongtai to pass on the message on his behalf.
On this day, Li Qianli personally led a team of men to Dacien Temple to pray for the Lishu to cleanse the sins of the Lishu. The next day, he sent the steward to send the Lishu to the palace.
Sigongtai was the eunuch in front of him, and there were more than a thousand eunuchs under his jurisdiction, each performing his duties.
Lishi found that the division of labor of eunuchs was very detailed and very strict. Most eunuchs only worked in errands, such as cleaning, meals, clothing, carriages, horses, food, grass, flowers and trees, etc., and were the eunuchs.
Only a few people can truly serve the emperor, and even fewer people can be favored.
Lishi heard that some eunuchs had been in the palace for more than ten or twenty years, but they didn't even know what the emperor looked like.
The eunuch who died of old age in the palace, rolled up a broken straw mat, was carried out like a dead dog, and then buried it.
Li Qianli asked him to get used to it in the palace for a few days before he said to him: I will take you to meet the emperor at this moment. If the emperor can take a fancy to you, it is your fate that you must be careful when you make a mistake. If there is a slight mistake, you will be beaten at the worst, and you will be beheaded at the worst. You must do your own thing.
Lis nodded quickly
Li Shi followed Li Qianli, guided by the eunuch, passed through several corridors, and finally came to Wu Zetian's bedroom.
After the eunuch went in to report, Li Qianli led the strong men into the palace and bowed together: Li Qianli, my minister, bowed to the emperor, wishing me long live long live long live long live long live long!
Wu Zetian was wearing gorgeous casual clothes, surrounded by a bunch of flowers, and was less majestic, but more charming.

As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, she felt that she had lost her words and said hurriedly: Since you have the will to purify yourself, then stay!
Li Qianli bowed to thank him, and then said: Emperor, this child not only knows calligraphy and etiquette, but also knows a little boxing skills, so he can relieve the emperor's boredom at any time.
Wu Zetian was immediately excited: Oh! So there is this trick!
She could not deny that Li Qianli was indeed good at judging his thoughts. Just looking at the private liar sent by today, she was not only handsome, but also virtuous, and she didn't believe it in the palace.

Then he passed the imperial edict orally, named Li Qianli the Right Jinwu General, and said with a smile: I have accepted your gift, I didn’t expect you to have such good eyesight!
Li Qianli thanked him repeatedly and left Li Shi and became Wu Zetian's close servant.
There are many people serving the queen. Just count it, there are dozens of people.

After all, Lishi had some skills. He swept his legs and kicked one over, turned his hand and hit the other one in the belly. He turned three times and four times, and three worshippers were beaten to pieces and fled in panic.
Li Shi knew that he had caused a big disaster and hurriedly left. Unexpectedly, he left Fengchen Mansion, and the palace guards followed him, rushed forward, and tied Li Shi tightly together.
Finally, he was sent to the second Zhang of Fengchen Mansion. Two Zhang ordered three worshipers to fight back and beat and kick the strong man. However, he still couldn't relieve his hatred, so he asked Wu Zetian to send him to the Magistrate's Court and hand him over to Lai Junchen for trial.
The person who was tried by Lai Junchen can be said to have a life of death. Even if he does not die, he will have to peel off his skin.
Wu Zetian pondered for a while, on one side was her face and her close servant. No need to compare, the close servant was her life, and the close servant was just a rag
But recalling Li Shi's good face, it was a pity that Lai Junchen was deposed, so he said: There are rules in the palace in the palace, so there is no need to send Li Shi to the Magistrate Academy to the first offense, and he will be beaten twenty, and he will be driven out of the palace.
That's it. Lishi was expelled from the palace. Three days have passed in a blink of an eye. During these three days, he has been lying on the bed of the small inn. The whip on his back is really painful.
Although the whip was not healed, he knew that he could not continue to be beaten because he didn't have much money and could only last for a few days at most.
During his bed recovery, he felt very regretful about his punching and offerings, and he shouldn't be so impulsive.
I am a rootless grass and an eggless chicken. If I make a few scolds, why should I beat you tightly? So what if I take off my pants for someone!
Just let them make fun of it
Since becoming a castrator, will there be less teasing these days?
Now that he has left the palace and has no place to settle down, he knows that it is not easy to make a living alone. In the palace, although he is a humble slave, he does not have to worry about food and clothing, and does not have to worry about everything. However, he has only been away from the palace for three days and is already in a panic all day long.
Liss took out the ruby from the bracelet from his pocket, and the gambling thoughts about people, his mother, brother and sister appeared in front of him. They don’t know where they are now?
Lingnan is six thousand miles away from the capital, and I am afraid there will be no chance of reunion in this life!
Thinking of his mother's decline, his father's death due to accusation, his family's accident, and his own experience, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his clothes were wet.
He calculated that it was only half a year since he entered the palace. Although it was short, in the past six months, he had seen all the corruption, debauchery, shamelessness, and cruelty in the palace, which were far beyond his imagination.
After thinking about it, Li Shi finally had an idea and planned to find Li Qianli, the commander of the attack. He sent himself into the palace, hoping that he could talk to him and let him return to the palace.
In the past six months, he has not seen Li Qianli, nor has he heard from him. I wonder if Li Qianli feels ungrateful?
While thinking about it, Li Shi found Li Qianli's mansion in his memory
Finally, he found this familiar door. Li Shi asked the concierge to inform him with a happy face. Unexpectedly, the concierge only glanced at him and told him that Lord Li had been promoted and had been outside Beijing for half a year. There was no decision on when he would come back.
When Lishi heard this, he lost his mind and his only hope was lost.
If you touch the small amount of money in your bag, you will have less than one day. How can you survive in the future?
He left Li's mansion and staggered on the streets of the imperial city
The streets are green on both sides, and there are deep courtyards everywhere. The courtyards are deep, but the spring scenery in the garden cannot be locked. Peach blossoms and apricot blossoms all poked their heads out of the wall to report to passers-by.
But in Lishi's heart, it was as cold as falling into an ice cellar
These days, the Lishi has been wandering around the imperial city for a few days. He has visited the mansion of Princess Taiping, King Wu Chengsi of Wei, and King Wu Sansi of Liang, waiting outside the door to wait for them to enter and exit, stopping their horse sedan chair, hoping that they will take him in, but before they even approached the opening several times, they were bombarded by the guards with swords.
Lishi finally gave up. So what if he saw these people? He was just a eunuch with no identity in the palace. Lishi certainly knew these big men, but these big men did not know him.
The more he thought about it, the more he became discouraged. He thought that he would be empty in one or two days, and he couldn't help but lose the confidence to live.
On that night, Lis paid the money for the store, bought some wine and food for the remaining money, poured and drank by himself. In the middle of the night, he slipped out of the small inn
He didn't want to die in a small inn with little profits, so as not to cause trouble for them. Besides, the inn might not bury him. He couldn't say that he would just roll a straw mat and drag it out of the city to feed the wild dogs.
Even if you want to die, you can't let the wild dogs get dismembered. The strongman told him
He walked aimlessly and came to the north end of the east city. This area is home to high-ranking officials and nobles. At the door of a mansion with red green tiles, he saw a big tree emerging from the wall with vigorous and upright trunks.
Liss took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to tie the straps on the tree, and brought a few bricks to him, and then put the straps into his neck, and his feet were suddenly hugged.
Li Shi looked down and found that it was a few guards with swords and cursed: Where did you come from? How dare you come here to hang yourself during the curfew? If you want to defile our prince, you will be able to do so.
Several guards of the palace did not want to say anything, put his arms on the right and left, and took him into the palace, intending to hand him over to the head of the government.
At this moment, a voice sounded: What happened?
Looking in the sound, I saw two people slowly approaching. One was an eunuch over forty. Next to him was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
The guards of the palace hurriedly said in unison: Prince, Eunuch Gao!
The eunuch asked: Who is this person?
A guard of the palace puts his feelings one by one
After listening, the eunuch walked to Lishi and said: Raise your head!
Li Shi looked up as he said, and when he looked closely, he felt that the eunuch in front of him was very kind, thinking that this person must have seen him in the palace.
And that young man, I believe he is the prince. Judging from his appearance, he is about his age, but he is majestic, handsome and majestic, and indeed extraordinary.
The eunuch looked up and down the Li Shi and said: I seem to have seen you somewhere, what are you doing?
Li Shi told him about his experience. Both of them nodded after hearing this. The young man said angrily: It was the good thing that those two guys did again, but you are wrong. Even if you are desperate, you can't seek death. As the saying goes, it's better to live than to die. You have to survive and then start from scratch.
Then he said to the eunuch beside him: Eunuch Gao, let's keep him
Then Eunuch Gao said justice: Yes, let him follow me
It turned out that this young man was Li Longji. The eunuch named Gao and his name was Yanfu. He was poor and was sold here as a slave. He was deeply trusted by the Prime Minister Li Dan. When Gao Yanfu was in his twenties, Li Dan found a position in the palace and served as Xi Guancheng, an adjutant of the Sigongtai, who was responsible for dealing with old age or illness. He was promoted to Xi Guanling several years later.
Recently promoted to the Palace Order of the Palace Bureau, responsible for serving the Palace, entering and leaving the keys, and serving as the supervisor of the visitor, serving as the post of conveying the emperor's imperial edict.
The official order is a sixth-rank official. In the palace rules, all eunuchs who are ranked first are allowed to marry and get married. Although eunuchs marrying are a decoration, if they have a wife, they have a family, and they can live a family life like ordinary people. At the same time, they can adopt adopted sons, adopted daughters, and have wives and children, which is not inferior to ordinary families.
The next day, Gao Yanfu called Li Shi and said: Child, according to the rules of the palace, it is impossible for those who have been expelled from the palace to enter the palace again. Why not do this? I can take you in as my adopted son, would you rather?
Li Shi was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed: If Lord Meng refuses to abandon him, the child is willing to recognize him as his father and serve him for life.
Gao Yanfu was very happy and set up a ancestral spiritual seat in his home, lit incense and candles, let Lishi give a big gift, and formally adopted him as his adopted son.
Gao Yanfu said: My ancestors and ancestors are above. From then on, my son’s surname is Gao and his name is Gao Lishi. Can you remember it?
Gao Lishi kowtowed again: Dad, my son Gao Lishi remembered
Gao Yanfu, as a palace commander, did not forget the kindness of the old master, often went to and from Li Longji's mansion to serve him.
Gao Yanfu took the initiative to ask Gao Lishi to help him in Li's house
Li Longji said to Gao Lishi: Even the people around the emperor dare to bully those worshippers, so he deserves to be beaten!
A word made Gao Lishi feel warm and grateful to Li Longji
Li Longji didn't dislike Gao Lishi being a eunuch. He talked and laughed with him. Over time, the two of them became very familiar with each other.
Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji practiced military martial arts from time to time, and he was itchy when he saw it. He also practiced with Li Longji several times, which won Li Longji's applause.
During the conversation between the two, Li Longji learned about Gao Lishi's life experience, one year older than him. Li Longji said to him with regret: You are truly worthy of being a famous general. Unfortunately, you have good martial arts skills but cannot serve the court. If you are not a eunuch, I will promote you well.
Gao Lishi said in tears: The prince is too rewarded! A scholar dies for his confidant. If the prince dies without complaints in the future, if there is a place to be useful for the servant, please ask the prince to give instructions, and the servant goes through fire and water, and he will never refuse!
Two Qingqing men, although they are one master and one servant, have the same spirit
Two years later, Li Longji was sent to Luzhou for a business trip. He only went home once a year, and the two met less, but every time they met, they had a very happy conversation.
It was not until the first year of Shenlong that Empress Wu Zetian officially gave way to Li Xian, and the fifty-year-old Li Xian ascended the throne again
Gao Yanfu still retained the position of official order. Taking advantage of the opportunity of changing dynasties, he introduced Gao Lishi to the palace and placed it in the palace bureau to serve as the position of palace chief.
During his days when he returned to the palace, he witnessed the dirty things between Queen Wei and Princess Anle with his own eyes, and also saw the baptisms of blood and fire in the palace.
The five kings were falsely accused of the prince Li Chongjun's rebellion in a coup, and he was all in sight. The one who sighed the most was Li Qianli, who had first entered the palace gate, sacrificed his life in this prince's rebellion.
Gao Lishi did not participate in this coup, but in his heart, he really hoped that the coup would be successful because he hated Empress Wei and Princess Anle too much.
In this palace coup, Empress Wei was not weakened, but became stronger and stronger, with greater power than before. The status of Wu Sansi's clerk Zong Chuke and others in the past was also consolidated than before.
However, it is directly related to Gao Lishi. After the coup, the status of the eunuch was improved. Eunuch Yang Sixu was favored by Li Xian and Empress Wei because of his contribution to rescue the emperor in Xuanwu Tower. He was first appointed as the Inspector of the Ministry of Eunuchs, and later was appointed as the Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, a third-rank official.
Li Xian and Empress Wei began to trust and use eunuchs. The eunuchs with some backing gained a lot of benefits.
Gao Shili has no merits and no mistakes, and he is still the palace chief in the palace bureau.
But he directly felt that few people made fun of eunuchs now, and this was the only thing that Gao Lishi deserved to be happy about.
