Chapter 113 Visiting Gao Lishi!

The General's Mansion of the Right Guard Guard is located in Yongjiafang in the west of Chang'an City. It is only separated from the Xingqing Palace where the emperor Li Longji lived all year round, making it very convenient to get around.

In the morning, Li Zhao brought the white bun and the sun rat to the front of the mansion, preparing to visit this famous "the most wise official of the ages!"

...

"Baimo, have you found out clearly? Eunuch Gao is indeed in the mansion today?"

"Don't worry, my master, I've been sending people to keep an eye on him. Last night, Eunuch Gao returned from Xingqing Palace and has not gone out yet. However, the people who were following him said that in the past morning, more than a dozen people had visited him, including royal relatives and high-ranking officials and nobles. As a result, they were all blocked from the door. It's a pity that the master wanted to enter, but it was not easy."

"The situation is urgent and urgent. Today I must meet Eunuch Gao. If I can't enter the front door, I will find a way to climb over the wall."

As the trusted confidant of today, Gao Lishi spent most of his time on duty in the palace. As for the General's Mansion, the right guard guard, he would come back at most once or twice a month.

The emperor's close ministers and the chief supervisors of the inner court are naturally the objects of favor among the powerful and powerful. They all want to learn this path and then understand the holy heart, so that they can maintain their glory and wealth for a long time... Even the right prime minister Li Linfu and the left prime minister Li Shizhi are no exception.

Therefore, as long as Gao Lishi returns to the mansion to rest, he will ensure that the carriages and horses are everywhere and the guests are coming to flatter him.

However, Gao Lishi is cautious and knows that his identity is special, so he should not interact too much with important officials of the court. Therefore, he often does not see foreign guests, and those who come will be rejected!

...

When Li Zhao and the other two arrived at the gate of the mansion, they were immediately stopped by two young eunuchs in green: "Stop, who are you? Why are you here?"

"Bad coach - Li Zhao, I'm here to meet Eunuch Gao, and I'll ask you two to help me report."

While speaking, Li Zhao took out two small gold ingots, both of which were ten taels and secretly stuffed them to two small eunuchs. This is one of the rules for visiting, called 'Buy threshold.'

Unexpectedly, the two little eunuchs waved their hands repeatedly and refused... What does it mean, do you think there are fewer ones?

Twenty taels of gold are enough to buy twenty strong cows in Guanzhong. I can’t tell you this. Gao Lishi’s threshold is a little too high, right?

"Young Master Zhao, don't misunderstand it. My father-in-law has given instructions. If a young man named Li Zhao comes to pay a visit, he will just come in directly. The young slaves are not allowed to stop him, and they will not be allowed to collect the threshold money, otherwise they will be severely punished."

"Oh, Eunuch Gao really told me this?"

"It's true. My father-in-law is drinking tea in the back hall. Please ask Mr. Zhao to go with the little slave. How about the other two stay in the doorman to rest?"

"Okay, thank you!"

I have never met Gao Lishi, so why did the latter issue such an order?

Forget it, it is a good thing to be able to enter the door smoothly, so you can adapt to the situation later... Li Zhao thought so.

Next, a young eunuch ran in and reported the news first.

Li Zhao followed another little eunuch to the back hall with a lot of questions, and while walking, he silently recalled Gao Lishi's personal information...

Gao Lishi, a native of Lingnan-Panzhou, was born in a famous family and was the sixth-generation grandson of the famous heroine of Madam Xi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. His father Feng Junheng was appointed as the governor of Panzhou. His mother Mai was the great-granddaughter of Mai Tiezhang, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty.

"Haha, my father-in-law may not want other gifts, but I am afraid that my father-in-law will accept this gift."

"Oh, what kind of rare treasures can make the miscellaneous families collect?"

"Haha, my father-in-law will tell you at a glance. It's not a rare treasure, but it's thousands of times better than a rare treasure!"

Li Zhao had already inquired about it. Gao Lishi had a rule: that is, he would never accept gifts from foreign ministers.

First of all, if you are unwilling to give someone a handle, you will be charged with "the eunuch makes friends with foreign ministers", that is one of the taboos in the palace.

Secondly, Gao Lishi has lived in the palace for a long time and has never seen any rare treasures. His vision is not ordinary. There are not many things in the world that can make him moved!

However, Li Zhao firmly believes that the gift he gave is an exception.

On the other hand, driven by curiosity, Gao Lishi opened the small wooden box. Unexpectedly, there were no rare treasures inside, just a piece of folded paper.

When he opened the viewing, Gao Lishi's eyes lit up instantly, then quickly folded it, stuffed it into his arms, and carefully patted it, looking very cherished.

Someone asked, what was written on the paper made Gao Lishi so rare?

Nothing else is just a recipe for health porridge. Li Zhao used to give one to his good friend Cui Zongzhi's mother and wife.

The difference is that the ones given before are suitable for women, and the ones given this time are suitable for men. If eaten for a long time, they can replenish blood and qi, prolong life!

No elderly man would refuse such a gift.

Of course, Gao Lishi accepted this gift not only for himself, but also for being a son of today - Li Longji!

As the emperor, he is more afraid of death than mortals and is more eager to prolong his life.

Since obtaining the Tai Chi map, Li Longji has been practicing every day for several months. The effect is quite good, and his mental and physical strength is much stronger than before. Now with this health porridge recipe, Li Longji will definitely be happier, and making the owner who has served him for most of his life happy is Gao Lishi's biggest pursuit.

"As the saying goes, when you give a gift to others, you must ask for something. I think what's wrong with Mr. Zhao's gift to the miscellaneous family?"

"I dare not hide it from my father-in-law, I really have something to ask for."

"Tell me, as long as it is within the ability of the mahjong family, it will definitely satisfy you."

"Thank you, my father-in-law, but..."

Li Zhao quickly thanked him, but did not continue to say anything, but glanced at the little eunuchs around him.

Gao Lishi understood it and waved his hand gently. The little eunuchs around him disappeared immediately... Li Zhao then came over and muttered in his ear for a long time.

"What Mr. Zhao said was a military and national affairs. The family was a eunuch. He only knew how to serve the emperor well. He should not ask about the rest. I am afraid that I can't help this matter. Master should ask for another wise man!"

"Haha, the emperor is rich all over the world. Since state affairs are family affairs, how can my father-in-law be the confidant of the emperor? How can I just ask about it? Besides, the money shortage is extremely harmful, and the people of Chang'an are in great suffering. I was forced to come up with this plan and ask my father-in-law to fulfill it!"

"State affairs...family affairs...hey!"

After sighing, Gao Lishi was silent for a long time and nodded invisibly.

It's done!

After achieving the goal, Li Zhao stopped talking, and after crossing his hands, he stood up and left the back hall.

...

At the gate, the white buns and the sun rat were waiting for it. Seeing that Li Zhao had come out, he hurriedly met him.

"Master, how are you?"

"all the best!"

"It's great, we know that as long as the master takes action, there is nothing that cannot be done. Master, you are the smartest person in the world."

"Haha, smart people are not considered to be. They are just being cormorants that drove fish once. The fisherman is the one who really benefits!"

"The cormorant... the fisherman... is young and don't understand?"

The white buns and the white rats all looked confused. Li Zhao didn't explain anything, but just looked at Xingqing Palace not far away, where Li Longji, the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire, lived!

He is also an unfathomable fisherman!
