Chapter 441 Palace Maid
When Gao Lishi finished talking about this in the morning, the carriage rushed to the gate of the palace. At this time, a brigade of imperial guards rushed into the palace. Seeing something was wrong, Gao Lishi stopped the general who led the troops. After asking, it turned out that Prime Minister Yang Guozhong had transferred 5,000 imperial guards to counter An Lushan.
"Rebellion, rebellion... all rebellion!" Gao Lishi shouted at the Imperial Guards, asking them to withdraw from the palace. However, these Imperial Guards were Yang Guozhong's confidants, so naturally they would not listen to a eunuch. At that time, almost no one paid attention to him and continued to rush into the palace.
In desperation, Gao Lishi could only order the coachman to drive the carriage directly into the palace. He hoped that relying on these old gods, he could find His Majesty the Emperor to resolve this crisis as soon as possible.
The carriage was originally heading towards the emperor's bedroom, but halfway through the journey, Gui Bugui suddenly said to Gao Lishi: "If we don't go to the bedroom, it's almost broken. Even if there are any traces, it won't be left at this time. Go and see the two broken corpses. Maybe you are lucky, you will see something on the broken corpses..."
Gao Lishi dared not refute, and immediately instructed the coachman to go to the Queen Mother's bedroom. The more he went there, the more imperial guards there were. By the time he entered the inner courtyard of the bedroom, it was already occupied by thousands of imperial guards and Hu soldiers. At this moment, the two armies were divided into two layers inside, with the 800 Hu soldiers brought by An Lushan. These soldiers had already detained Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and others under the command of An Lushan.
On the outside, there were thousands of imperial guards. Under the command of the generals, they cursed at hundreds of Hu soldiers and asked them to release the Prime Minister back. However, the Hu people were unmoved. Through the gaps between the Hu soldiers, they could see that Prime Minister Yang Guozhong had a steel knife on his neck. As long as they talked about it, the first time he died under the knife was the Prime Minister.
When he saw that Gao Lishi, a popular man who was around the emperor, came over with a few people, the Imperial Guards thought that Eunuch Gao was in harmony. He immediately separated the road and asked Eunuch Gao to walk to the opposite side of the Hu people with his "sentences".
"Master Prime Minister, Duke An Jie, you two are important officials in the court. When they meet in the palace, aren't you afraid that your Majesty will be punished heavily after you know?" After Gao Lishi came over, he relied on Wu Mian who came in behind him and the living gods of Gui Bugui, and continued to say to Yang Guozhong and An Lushan: "This is the Queen Mother's bedroom. It scared the Queen Mother's phoenix. You can't afford to be guilty."
"It's good that you're here. If you have a father-in-law, I'll be relieved." After seeing Gao Lishi bringing Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, An Lushan then let his eight hundred Hu soldiers separate the road and invite Gao Lishi and others to come over. At the same time, the Hu soldiers outside kept their weapons away, but the steel knife on Li Linfu's neck did not dare to take them down.
"Eunuch Gao, what did you see? This fat Hu dare to hold me, the prime minister of the current dynasty. What's the difference between this and rebellion?" Although he was held on his neck by a steel knife, Yang Guozhong calculated that they did not dare to do anything to him. He continued with the prime minister's authority: "An Lushan, relying on His Majesty and the support of the Imperial Concubine, dared..."
"Why don't you say you are going to detain the prince privately? Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain now, Yang Guozhong, you have this idea!" An Lushan was erect and was about to continue to tell Gao Lishi about Yang Guozhong's crimes, the gate of the empress dowager's bedroom behind him opened, and a female official who was a few years old walked out of it.
The female official walked to Gao Lishi and whispered a few words to him. After seeing that Eunuch Gao agreed, she bowed her head and returned to the Queen Mother's bedroom. After sending the female official away, Gao Lishi said to Yang Guozhong and An Lushan: "Look at the good things you two have done. Now the Queen Mother has issued an imperial edict. Let you quickly withdraw from the scope of the bedroom..."
Gao Lishi led Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others. After the demon appeared, the tense atmosphere between An Lushan and Yang Guozhong eased. Under Gao Lishi's persuasion, Yang Guozhong first withdrew the Imperial Guard blocked in the yard. Then the eight hundred Hu soldiers brought by An Lushan also took Yang Guozhong hostage and walked out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Xiao Rensan looked interesting, and it said to Bai Wuqiu: "Big Black Man, there are so many appearances in your Demon Mountain Palace in such a scene. We Ginseng thought we had returned to your palace just now."
"Your palace! Yaoshan has nothing to do with me." Bai Wuqiu corrected Xiao Rensan's words and continued: "But they, the soldiers, are not happy at all. If they were in Yaoshan, would have died at this time. When they saw them talking, none of them dared to take action."
"Silly boy, how many of their heads do they really do it in the palace?" At this time, Gui Bugui continued, "This is the difference between humans and you monsters. Try not to do it when you can."
While speaking, everyone had already withdrawn from the Queen Mother's bedroom. Yang Guozhong and An Lushan each told Gao Lishi how much they felt and how ruthless the other party was.
"The two masters, the strong man dare not make arbitrary decisions. After His Majesty comes back, he will ask His Majesty to the Holy Prison." When he said this, Gao Lishi glanced at Gui Bugui. Seeing the old guy nodding gently, he continued: "The most important thing is to find His Majesty first. The bedroom has been searched all over. Where are the two female corpses? Take them out, and several great monks are looking for clues."
"The female corpse is here." An Lushan felt that he was with Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others to go to Beijing, and naturally thought that they would be facing him. He immediately ordered his subordinates to carry two sacks of corpses, and Yang Guozhong and others came out in front of them. Then he put the two corpses back together and placed them in front of Wu Mian and Gui Bugui.
"Killing the palace maid who is accompanying the bedroom is considered to be a murder to silence people, but the body is immediately broken into the well of the Queen Mother's bedroom, which makes people confused. Is this hiding the corpse or trying to scare the Queen Mother..." Gui Bugui mumbled and looked at the corpse. After looking at it for a while, the old guy suddenly frowned. He saw one of the hands tightly clasped, as if something was hidden in his hand.
Gui Bugui broke open the branches of the broken corpse's hands one by one, and then a small piece of iron filings appeared in the palm of his palm. After seeing the iron filings, the old man narrowed his eyes. Then he called Gao Lishi and continued to say to him: "Eunuch Gao, look at this, where can you find such iron artifacts in the palace?"
"This doesn't look like something from the palace..." Gao Lishi looked over and over again and returned the iron filings to the old guy. Then he continued, "I can't recognize this thing. If the monk needs it, I will summon a few more eunuchs to let them identify..."
"No, old man, I just asked casually." When Gui Bugui said this, he smiled first, and finally turned his eyes around An Lushan and Yang Guozhong's faces. Then he continued to say to Gao Lishi: "Dadfather-in-law, you can now close the four gates of Chang'an City and search door to door in the city. His Majesty the Emperor has been captured outside the palace, so he should not have time to send them outside the city..."
"His Your Majesty was kidnapped?" If this was said from another person, Gao Lishi had already thought that he was a madman. The palace was on guard. How could the emperor be kidnapped? He still knew nothing? However, when Gui Bugui said this, Gao Lishi became convinced. Now that the prime minister is still in An Lushan's hands, he simply mobilized Jingzhao Yin to close the city gate. Then, as Gui Bugui said, he began to search one by one in Chang'an City.
