"Emperor, now that things have come to this, this old servant has a matter that I don't know if I should say it?”Gao Lishi seemed hesitant.
"Gao Lishi, when did you become so wishy-washy? Like a woman…" Li Longji was suddenly amused.
Gao Lishi looked at Li Longji sadly and thought,"You're still laughing!" You'll cry later! Do you think I'm a woman? You speak as if I'm a man!
"Speak, Gao Lishi, if you have something to say, say it!”
Wu Tianlang, who was hiding in the cabinet, felt a little breathless and a little lacking in oxygen. He wanted to come out of the cabinet and tell everything he knew in front of Li Longji.
But now, Wu Tianlang could hear the disharmony in their conversation…
What was going on? How could a mere eunuch speak to the Emperor like this?
Even if you served Wu Zetian, Zhongzong, Ruizong, and this Tang Xuanzong in front of you, you can't shock the master with your achievements! This was the current emperor!
No, he couldn't come out yet. He had to endure it and wait for the wind to blow.
Therefore, Wu Tianlang lifted the lid of the cabinet slightly to let some fresh air in.
Wu Tianlang peeked through a crack and saw the two people in the room.
Judging from his attire, the guy in the purple robe with a jade belt around his waist was the Emperor, and the white-haired man with the black feathered gauze hat was undoubtedly Gao Lishi.
Wu Tianlang looked at the two of them and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He thought to himself that this Tang Xuanzong should be around 71 or 72 years old. No matter how he looked at it, he should be around 50 years old.
Even in the future, in the 21st century, where everyone was heading for a comfortable life, he was considered a standard old man.
In Wu Tianlang's impression, the average age of a feudal society was only in their forties due to the lack of material and medical conditions. He did not expect Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to take such good care of himself.
Originally, Wu Tianlang was worried that Wang Daniu would not be able to satisfy Yang Guifei! Now, it seemed that he had worried for nothing!
It seemed that since ancient times, emperors had pursued the art of maintaining their health and seeking immortality. It was really effective.
Aiya! It was still better to be the emperor! Wu Tianlang hid in the cabinet and sighed.
Gao Lishi looked around and said to Li Longji in a low voice,""Your Majesty, this old servant has heard privately that the Emperor Li Xiang has his own army and has been passively resisting the Hu soldiers in recent days…"
"Zhen knows all of this. Is there anything else?”Tang Xuanzong Li Longji said.
" Also, the soldiers outside have been in a mess for the past two days. They actually dare to talk nonsense everywhere…" Gao Lishi said.
"What is it? Even the soldiers dared to talk nonsense? Who led the soldiers? This was really not good at leading troops? You should be dismissed!"
"They are all soldiers who escaped from the front. Who cares now?”Gao Lishi said helplessly.
"Then who? Where was Chen Xuanli? How did he become the Imperial Army Commander? Why was it that he was fine in Chang 'an, but he was irresponsible here?”Tang Xuanzong angrily flicked his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, according to what this old servant knows, Chen Xuanli is currently powerless. The current situation is also not something he can control, and…" Gao Lishi lowered his voice and said,"I'm afraid that I'll have to deal with him.""I heard from the young eunuch that Chen Xuanli is still secretly hooking up with Crown Prince Li Xiang's men…"
"What is it? There was actually such a thing! How preposterous!" Li Longji was trembling with anger.
"Emperor, you must take care of your dragon body! This old servant didn't know what to do and wanted to tell the emperor, but this old servant was worried that the emperor would be angry, so he didn't say anything. Moreover, this was only a private rumor, so it's hard to say if there was such a thing…"
When Li Longji heard this, he loudly said,"Gao Lishi, hurry up and tell Chen Xuanli. I want to ask him about this matter face to face!" I would like to know why this Great General Long Wu would do such a treacherous thing!”
"Emperor, this is not good! You can't do that!" When Gao Lishi heard this, fear appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with that!" Li Longji was still angry.
Gao Lishi said in a low voice,"Your Majesty, if Chen Xuanli doesn't have any disloyalty, then it's fine. But if the rumors outside are true, then we're just asking for trouble!"”
"What?! He had really turned the tables on him! Even if I lent him a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare!”Li Longji heard Gao Lishi's words and was really angry.
A dignified emperor actually pondered over it when he summoned the guard commander. This was really a big joke.
Li Longji wanted to say something, but at this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Great General Long Wu is here!”The young eunuch outside the door shouted with a voice like a drake.
"Emperor, what should we do? This old servant felt that something big was about to happen!”Gao Lishi gulped and looked at Li Longji anxiously.
Li Longji was still flustered and exasperated just now. He wanted to summon Chen Xuanli and ask him for an explanation. However, when he heard that this guy actually came uninvited, his heart could not help but beat wildly.
Forget it, let him come. I want to see what this Chen Xuanli wants to do! Li Longji thought to himself.
" Gao Lishi, act according to the situation later. Don't forget to smooth things over for me if there's anything…" Li Longji winked at his most trusted subordinate, Gao Lishi.
"So the emperor is here! I, Chen Xuanli, beg to see His Majesty!”A bright and domineering voice came from outside the door.
Li Longji winked at Gao Lishi.
"Great General Long Wu, please have an audience!" Gao Lishi shouted.
Li Longji straightened his clothes and stood in the middle of the room.
The door to the room opened!
A general wearing armor and a silver helmet barged in!
"Chen Xuanli greets the Emperor!" Chen Xuanli clasped his hands and bowed to Tang Xuanzong.
"How dare you, Chen Xuanli! You dare to come with a sword and not even kowtow to the Emperor! Don't you know the rules of an audience?”Gao Lishi shouted loudly!
As expected, Chen Xuanli was dressed neatly and carried a sword with him. He had a fierce aura about him.
Hearing Gao Lishi's accusation, Chen Xuanli did not restrain himself. Instead, he glared at Gao Lishi and said in a disdainful tone,""Old Weng, it's wartime now. How can there be so many rules? The situation outside the Horse Stop Posthouse is urgent. An accident may happen at any time. In order to ensure the safety of the Emperor, I have to be prepared for battle at all times!”
Li Longji had never seen such a scene before. Back then, when he was still in Chang 'an a few days ago, Chen Xuanli would never have dared to be so presumptuous!
But now, Li Longji seemed to realize that the situation was not right. He coughed lightly to ease his emotions and said,""Minister Chen, you've worked hard. It's all thanks to you that we've come from Chang 'an to this Horse Posthouse!”
Chen Xuanli cupped his hands and bowed again." Your Majesty, you flatter me. This is my duty!”
Things that were within his duty? Li Longji thought to himself,'This guy is not willing to kneel down, and he speaks with such an attitude. Is this guy going to rebel? If that's the case, I can't act on impulse.'
Li Longji was so angry that his lungs were about to explode when he thought about how he had to suffer such humiliation as the emperor!
But what could he do? When one was under the eaves, one had no choice but to lower their heads!
If it was before, Li Longji would not be like this. Why would he lower his head? I'll tear down the roof! I'll even tear down the foundation!
That was then and that was now. Those who knew the times were wise!
Li Longji naturally understood this logic. This Chen Xuanli was now in control of the Imperial Army, and this was his personal guard responsible for protecting him!
Now, it seemed that the Crown Prince Li Xiang was planning to usurp the throne.
If this Chen Xuanli rebelled again, the Imperial Army that was protecting him would really kill the emperor!
Therefore, Li Longji understood that he had to think of a way to stabilize this Chen Xuanli.
"My dear minister, look at you. You're still wearing such thick armor on such a hot day! Is it hot? "Come, Gao Lishi, quick, bring a fan and fan Chen Aiqing." Li Longji winked at Gao Lishi.
"Hey! Alright! I'll go get the fan now!"
Gao Lishi turned around and walked towards Wu Tianlang!
"This is bad! Could it be that this old eunuch wanted to take a fan from this cabinet?”Wu Tianlang broke out in a cold sweat!
If he didn't handle it well, he would have to die here today!
Wu Tianlang was in despair as he watched Gao Lishi walk towards the cabinet…
