Life of the characters

Early experience

Gao Lishi, a native of panzhou, whose surname is Feng Yuanyi, lived for two years (693) and was castrated when he was young because of the treason case of Liuren in Lingnan. In the first year of the holy calendar (698), they were attacked by Lingnan, and Li Qianli was sent to the palace. Wu Zetian praised him for his intelligence, intelligence and beauty, and let him worship. Later, he was whipped out because of his minor faults. Gao Yanfu, the eunuch, was adopted as his son. Gao Yanfu came from Wu Sansi's family, and Gao Lishi went to Wu Sansi's mansion. A year later, Empress Wu called her back to the palace, where she was subordinate to the imperial court and the government provided food. Gao Lishi is six feet and five inches long. He is cautious and careful in nature. He is good at passing imperial edicts and giving official orders.

I've made a lot of contributions

During the reign of Jinglong, Li Longji was in the vassal state, and Gao Lishi devoted himself to serving him and was favored by Li Longji. In the long period of Tang Dynasty (710), because of his contribution to pacifying the rebellion of empress Wei, Jin Dynasty was granted the title of crown prince's Taibao. Li Longji showed that he was a powerful scholar to enter the crown prince's neifang Bureau and served him every day. He was promoted to the rank of chaosan official and neigeishi. After Li Longji ascended the throne, Gao Lishi took part in the killing of Xiao Zhizhong, Cen Xi and others, and made great contributions. He was awarded the official Yin qingguanglu as an exception, and served as a member of the provincial government. In the early years of Kaiyuan, he also served as the general of the right prison guard, in charge of the affairs of serving the province.

Li Longji valued the palace Wei Bureau, and the eunuch gave the general zhengsanpin and the guard of honor. So Yang sixu, Li Jingren, Lin Zhaoyin and Yin Fengxiang had the same honor as Gao Lishi. Yang sixu fought with integrity, Li and Lin were ordered to send envoys to announce the message, and Yin was in charge of the Academy. The others, such as sun Liu, Han Zhuang, Yang Ba, Niu Xiantong, Liu Fengting, Wang Chengen, Zhang Daobin, Li Dayi, Zhu Guanghui, Guo Quan, Bian Lingcheng and others, such as offering sacrifices to the temple head, supervising the army, going to Tibet, being a religious sect, and being a master of merits and virtues, were appointed. On the other hand, the power of Jianjun exceeded that of Jiedushi, and on the other hand, the envoys frightened the counties to retreat. As soon as the eunuchs arrived in the army, they expected to spend tens of millions of money. The donations they received for cultivating merit and the funds they spent on buying birds and animals were not only thousands of dollars, but also whether they were allowed by the powerful men or not. Therefore, eunuchs account for half of the most luxurious houses in the capital, including the best fields, orchards and gardens in the capital.

Power goes to the government and the opposition

Every time there are four sides to present the form, they must first present it to Gao Lishi, and then they will decide the minor matters themselves before they enter Fengyu.

Li Longji used to say, "a man of strength should be in front of me, but when I rest, I will be stable." Therefore, it often stops in the palace and seldom goes out of the house. As for the desire for attachment, want to see its elegant demeanor, in order to speak good words in front of the king, and many people try their best to lose. Yu Wenrong, Li Linfu, Li Shizhi, Gai Jiayun, Wei Jian, Yang Shenjin, Wang Zhen, Yang Guozhong, an Lushan, an Sishun and Gao Xianzhi all won the high rank of general and Prime Minister for this reason, while the others won the high rank. When suzong was in the East Palace, he was called the second elder brother. The princesses and princesses all called him "aong", and the sons in law called him "Ye". On the side of the hall, there is a courtyard, in which there is a place to cultivate merits and virtues. The decorations are brilliant and exquisite. Gao Lishi was careful and prudent, but Yu Wenrong and others, who played tricks on politics, hated each other, and even disturbed the law and discipline of the imperial court, were all related to Gao Lishi's recommendation. Moreover, he is good at adapting to circumstances and observing the climate. Although he is the closest and favorite person, he will not help him in the face of collapse.

Gao Yanfu and his wife, the adoptive father of Gaulish, share the offerings according to the rules. In panzhou, the Lingnan Festival emissary found his mother, Mai, and sent them to Chang'an. Gao Lishi asked the two old women to live in the same hall for food. Cheng Boxian, the great general of Jinwu, and Gao Lishi became brothers. When Mai's family died, Boxian was dressed in mourning clothes and received guests to express his condolence.

In the 17th year of Kaiyuan (729), Li Shi's father was awarded the title of governor of Guangzhou and Ma Shi's wife of Yue. As early as in the early years of Kaiyuan, LV Xuanhuan of Yingzhou was an official in the capital. His daughter was beautiful. Gao Lishi married him and promoted him to be Shaoqing and Cishi. All the children of LV family became Wangfu. Mrs. Lu died and was buried in the east of the city. The funeral was very grand. Local officials in China vied with each other to present sacrificial items, which overflowed the capital Avenue, and there was an endless stream of vehicles and horses from the mansions to cemeteries.

He died of vomiting blood

In the early years of Tianbao, he became a champion general, a guard General of the right prison, and a Duke of Bohai county. Tianbao seven years (748), the official cavalry general. The powerful family is rich in wealth, which is not comparable to that of ordinary princes. They built Baoshou Buddhist temple in Laiting square and Huafeng Taoist temple in Xingning square. The great wealth of treasure hall and platform is equal to the national strength. In the northwest of the capital, it intercepted the Lishui River to build a mill house, which can grind 300 Dendrobium and wheat every day. At the beginning, the bell of Baoshou temple was cast and the Li Shi Zhai was sacrificed to celebrate. All the people in the Ju Dynasty arrived. Those who strike the bell will be given a hundred thousand; those who obey their will will will be given twenty, and those who are less will be given ten. After that, there was yuan Siyi of Huazhou, who was especially favored by Xuanzong. However, people like Gao Lishi because he is clever and cautious, while yuan Siyi is arrogant and arrogant, and people are alienated and afraid.

In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), NEISHI province was established. There were two NEISHI supervisors, with three ranks, and they were held by Lishi and Siyi respectively. Li Longji fled to Shu, Yuan Siyi went to take refuge in Anlu mountain, and Gao Lishi served Li Longji to Chengdu. Jin Jue was the Duke of Qi. In the same year, Prince Li Heng ascended the throne in Lingwu. He respected Li Longji as the emperor and soon welcomed him back to Chang'an. Because of his meritorious service in escort, Gao Lishi became an official in Kaifu, and granted 500 households food tax.

In August of the first year of Shangyuan Dynasty (760), Li Longji moved to Ganlu Hall of Taiji palace. Gao Lishi, eunuchs Wang Chengen, Wei Yue and others were set up by Li Fuguo and exiled to Qianzhong road because they served Li Longji in Changqing building. When Gao Lishi went to Wuzhou, he saw that there were many shepherd's purse and people didn't eat it. He was sad and had no choice but to sing: "the two capitals are sold by Jin, and the five streams are not picked. Although Yixia is different, the smell will not change. "

In March of the first year of Baoying (762), when Li Longji returned to Langzhou for amnesty, he met exiles and talked about the capital. Only then did he know that Li Longji had died. Gao Lishi looked to the north and cried bitterly. He vomited blood and died. Because he was a senior citizen, Li Yu once defended the former Emperor, presented him to the governor of Yangzhou, and was buried with him in the tailing mausoleum.

Anecdotes and allusions

Protect Xuanzong

After Li Heng, Emperor suzong of Tang Dynasty, became Emperor Xuanzong and lived in Xingqing palace. One day, after a long rain, Li Longji arrived at the diligence building. People downstairs and passers-by saw Li Longji with tears of joy and exclaimed long live. His voice was earth shaking. At that time, Li Heng was ill, and Li Fuguo played on the stage, falsely accusing him of saying, "this is all a conspiracy by jiuxianyuan, Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli." He privately issued an imperial edict to move the emperor to Xinai (the Taiji palace of the Tang Dynasty). There were only 20 or 30 old and weak people to escort the emperor. When they got to the intersection, there were guards holding knives in all directions. They all obeyed Li Fuguo's orders. Seeing this, Li Longji was very surprised. He fell off the horse several times and was helped up by the waiter. Gao Lishi rode to Li Fuguo and said, "the emperor is the son of Taiping for 50 years. Li Fuguo, you are also an old minister. How dare you be so rude? You dismount me!" Li Fuguo got off the horse quickly. Gao Lishi declared Li Longji's will: "soldiers should be loyal to their duties." So Li Fuguo ordered the soldiers to put the sword back in the scabbard and called out in unison: "the emperor is blessed!" They all kowtowed to Li Longji. Gao said, "Li Fuguo is here to lead the horse." Li Fuguo quickly put on his boots and went to lead the horse. Together with the soldiers, he escorted the emperor to xinei safely. After Li Fuguo led the crowd to withdraw, Li Longji cried, took Gao Lishi's hand and said, "thank you! If I don't, I'll be a ghost. " Before long, jiuxianyuan, Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli were all sent to places where there was a lot of miasma. These were all fake imperial edicts issued by Li Fuguo. At that time, Li Heng was critically ill and Li Fuguo was in power. He was also afraid that Li Longji in Xi'an would have any more changes.
