When the little eunuch Yuanyi heard the saint ask such a question, he looked surprised at first, but soon his expression became nervous again, and he lowered his head and replied, "The saint actually knows the name of the servant?"

When Li Tong heard this answer, he couldn't help laughing. It seemed that his guess was correct: I knew it very well. If you want to choose a politician who runs through the prosperity of Kaiyuan as your representative, in addition to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang who was in danger of his later years, there would be the little eunuch Feng Yuanyi and Gao Lishi in front of you!

He was not in a hurry to answer Feng Yuanyi's reply, but just raised his hand and signaled: "In the inner hall, there is no need to be polite, get up and raise your head."

The little eunuch Feng Yuanyi did not have the power of showing off his power in the future, and may not be able to do so in the future. He heard the saint's words and stood up. However, he stopped halfway through the movement, and glanced at his little brother Lego.

Seeing Lego nodding slightly, the little eunuch stood up and walked forward a few steps, standing close to Lego on the side of the imperial desk. Although his hanging head was raised, his eyes did not fall directly on the saint, but just looked at the outer edge of the imperial desk.

Li Tong had been observing Feng Yuanyi with interest, holding this cautious expression in his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then turned his eyes to Lego and said with a smile: "The Le Jenny's vision is good, this little servant is chosen well."

After hearing this, Lego smiled and was not curious about the fact that the saint heard about Feng Yuanyi's name. After all, it is no wonder that he follows the saint in and out of the daily life, and it is no wonder that he sees many strange things in human affairs.

He pulled Feng Yuanyi, who was reserved and respectful to him, pointed to the eunuch and said to the saint, "Where is there any talent to know people? I went introspectively to pick the masters and followers. I happened to see the name of this boy. I felt that his life experience was similar, so I chose Yuanyi. Although he was not old, he was quite satisfied with his followers for a few days, and he was much more obedient and tactful than some old slaves. If the saint was satisfied, the servant would leave him behind and work hard to do his job?"

After hearing this, Li Tong nodded, and felt that the fate was wonderful. There were thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in the country. Unexpectedly, Lego, a kid, blindly selected Gao Lishi.

However, it is normal to hear Lego talk about this reason. Lego was born with a good background and was the son of the prime minister. Gao Lishi was not from a poor family. The Feng family in Lingnan where he came from was a powerful country in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and his ancestor Lady Xian was even more famous for his heroines.

Both of them are noble families with prominent families, and because of the cruel political struggles, their supposedly prominent lives have suffered severe damage before they even began and become slaves. Naturally, they have a feeling of sympathy and mutual appreciation.

However, Li Tong was still curious about how Gao Lishi entered the palace. He also knew about the original life experience of this eunuch who was famous during the Xuanzong period.

Feng's family had a strong power in Lingnan. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Feng Ann, the great-grandfather of Gao Lishi, was also named Duke of Yue because of the land of Guiyi and the rebellion of the Liao barbarians. He was also the chief general of Gaozhou. He was a real general of Fangzhen. When his power was at its peak, his jurisdiction was equivalent to one-third of the area of ​​the five-management in Lingnan today.

Later, although the general administration was removed because the imperial court regained local power, the descendants of the Feng family still had considerable power in Lingnan, and Feng Ang's direct descendants were mostly assigned to the Lingnan Prefecture Prefecture.

In the original history, Gao Lishi's family was implicated in the case of rebellion among people from Lingnan. His father was executed by cruel officials, while the young Gao Lishi was castrated as an official slave. He was sent to Da Nei by Li Qianli, who was then the Lingnan envoy.

But today's history has long become unrecognizable under the influence of Li Tong. Not to mention that Li Qianli has not gone to Lingnan for work in recent years. Even the original Lingnan Liuren rebellion case has a very different process and result from history.

In this time and space, when there were discussions about the intention of rebellion among the people in Lingnan, Li Tong had already returned to the court and had a certain influence in the court. At that time, he was serving as the general manager of the Songyang Road march. When the court sent a cruel official to Lingnan to investigate the case, he also killed a few of them. After the Songyang Road march ended and returned to the capital, he directly joined hands with the prime minister to launch a coup, overturning his grandmother's rule.

It was precisely because of Li Tong's trouble that the tragedy of the slaughtered people in Lingnan in history did not happen. Although Li Tong's main intention at that time was not for the lives of those slaughtered people in Lingnan, it objectively saved them.

However, when the people of Lingnan returned to the court, Li Tong had already left the center of the court and returned to Chang'an. Those who were living in the world were rarely grateful for Li Tong's life-saving grace. On the contrary, many people opposed the Taiba Mansion more firmly after returning to the court, so they were killed by Li Tong during the Jingguo period.

However, these personnel repetitions obviously have little to do with the Feng family who is far away in Lingnan. Since the Lingnan Liuren case did not happen as in history, how could Gao Lishi be castrated and sent to the palace?

With such doubts, Li Tong looked at Feng Yuanyi and asked: "The Feng family is in charge of the ancestral clan in Lingnan, and the grandchildren are in charge of the founding of the country. Even if their descendants are detrimental and their loyalty and righteousness will no longer be loyal to their ancestors, but the punishment and punishment are not without any care. Why did Yuanyi become a slave?"

Although Feng Yuanyi was quite mature, he was still a teenager after all. He was not good at disguising emotions. After hearing this question, he immediately shook his shoulders and lowered his head and sobbed. After a while, he answered: "My father was the former governor of Panzhou. There were many miserable people living in the governance. Those miserable people were guilty of being guilty of the country, and the situation was inevitably sad. In the early years, the saints revolutionized the country, and the prime minister and the king stole the throne as the country. If the crime was not tried, the miserable people were pardoned.

Among them, there are those who are deeply entangled. After returning to China and gaining power, they took off their anger at the state officials and slandered their father for losing food supply. They were a member of the Wu clan, so they were punished... The family was tragically punished. Because they were young, the servant was sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to the Ministry of Justice. After being sentenced, the saint was selected to be used as an official slave. When the saint returned to the country to worship, they were selected to serve as the Chang'an Palace.

This boy's tone was very sad, and after hearing this twist, Li Tong was also full of emotion. He rebelled and wanted to take action against the Feng family in Lingnan because of his loss of supervision. The Feng family was pardoned and was angry with the Feng family because of the mean treatment he suffered during the exile. In the end, he could not avoid disaster. The Feng family was really unlucky, and he could not escape from it. Feng Yuanyi was also destined to be a eunuch.

However, while sighing, Li Tong also saw a deeper problem, that is, the suffering of the Feng family actually has nothing to do with the fate of the wandering people. The real motivation behind it was the court's need to crack down on this powerful family that had been entrenched in Lingnan for hundreds of years due to the demand of centralization.

Although the Feng family is not as prominent as in the early days of the country, it only looks at Feng Yuanyi's father who was still able to serve as the governor of Panzhou nearly a hundred years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Panzhou was a state that was abolished from the Gaozhou General Administration during the Zhenguan period. In the past century, the Tang Dynasty had been shaken, and the national surname changed, but the Feng family could still live in Lingnan and inherit the prefectures and counties set up by the court. Who else would you deal with if you don't deal with it?

Feng Yuanyi, a kid, may be limited by his experience, but he cannot see the real reason for his own misfortune. He just mentioned the miserable people who framed their family, his emotions became excited and his childish face became distorted.

"The past is gone. Since you have entered Shichen, you can live here with peace of mind. Your ancestors have been famous for their loyalty, righteousness and honor, and Xuanbo's king has been transformed into southern Xinjiang, and the family of meritorious officials, and the royal family often regrets that they cannot summon the court to approach. Now that you have such an opportunity, diligent work, you can live up to the reputation of your ancestors."

Li Tong smiled and gave a little encouragement to the little guy, then said, "I heard that you are talking well and I want to see that your family education is good. But this year, I still have short teeth and there is no need to pay heavy pressure on ordinary people. It is not too late to learn from Lego's art hall for the time being, and it is not too late to develop skills and serve."

When Feng Yuan heard this, he was very grateful and thanked him. He whispered: "Although the sinful body of me has been wronged, he will eventually violate the laws of the country and ruin the reputation of his ancestors... The saints are kind and virtuous, and they will only be stronger in the next year. They will definitely repay them for their lives!"

Li Tong smiled again when he heard these words of the young man. Although Gao Lishi's historical image and criticism were mixed, he was indeed impeccable when it comes to the private affairs of loyalty and loyalty.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang loved to use eunuchs, which also opened an evil example for the disaster of eunuchs after the middle Tang Dynasty. However, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the eunuchs remained in control, especially Gao Lishi, who followed honor and disgrace, and never left him. Finally, after hearing the news of Emperor Xuanzong's death, he died of blood. This friendship between the master and servant is even more sincere and valuable than the relationship between the father and son of Xuanzong himself and the husband and wife.

As for the eunuchs who really lost control and backfired, it was the generation of Li Fuguo, Cheng Yuanzhen and Yu Chaoen used by Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty.

Li Tong has always been unconventional in using people, and even goods like Xu Junchen have a place in his court, and he does not reject eunuchs.

Compared with the court officials in the foreign court, eunuchs have a stronger family slave attribute. The reason why eunuchs often rise is often accompanied by political darkness and disorder is not the only reason for eunuchs.

One is the natural disgust and rejection of the external dynasty to the internal officials, and the other is that once the emperor uses eunuchs to interfere in the external affairs of the government too much, it often means that selfish desires are exerted and willfully destroy the internal and external systems formulated by himself, thus causing relatively serious internal and external confrontation.

Li Tong also has his own set of standards for the use of eunuchs, that is, the inside and outside must be distinguished, and he cannot take on both internal and external duties.

Like the original eunuch Yang Chong, he was released as a rank in the Shaofu Shangshi before the New Year and no longer served as an official position. Although his rank was demoted by several levels, he became a real court official. If he stayed in the palace, even if he was in a high position, he would be just a slave.

Of course, it is difficult to completely separate the inner and outer courts, especially for sensitive positions like Danui Suwei. The most important reason why eunuchs in later generations were able to control the destruction of the king was that they had mastered the military power of the Suwei.

However, this disadvantage stems from human nature. As a slave who lives with you day and night, eunuchs are close to the emperor, and even surpass the family ties between father and son and brother. They hand over their lives and safety in the hands of the most trustworthy person. This is also an emotional choice and cannot be solved by the system.

There are many dynasties in history that have vowed to establish a ancestral system that did not allow eunuchs to interfere in politics, but they often cannot avoid the occurrence of eunuchs.

Any force that can frequently appear in the historical political situation will naturally have its logic and role. As an emperor, it needs to be flexibly used in light of actual conditions and try to guide it to exert a positive influence. If this cannot be done, no matter how positive the political force is, it will become beyond recognition.

Li Tong did not deliberately cultivate the eunuch power, but after meeting the right candidate, he did not dare to use and cultivate it.

Although Gao Lishi is different from Yang Sixu, he has abundant military power and conclusive military achievements, but he has been able to maintain his honor and favor for decades during the Xuanzong Dynasty. It can be seen that he also has extremely high talent in handling the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.

It should be noted that Emperor Xuanzong has never been a kind-hearted and cowardly ruler who values ​​affection and righteousness. If he makes a ruthless son, he can kill three of his own sons a day, let alone the eunuchs and slaves around him.

So Li Tong was also curious about what kind of appearance would Gao Lishi, who grew up in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, evolve into, so he also had a certain desire to cultivate Gao Lishi.

After hearing Feng Yuanyi's sincere words, Li Tong smiled and said, "It's good to have such sincerity. It's better to make ambitions early, but it's hard to make a fortune. Although the old hopes of the family can help others move forward, before the fame is gained, you can't help but be ashamed to meet your ancestors. Since you are a visitor, you will be able to find a way to see your new surname and give it a new name "Lishi" to encourage you, hoping that you will be together forever. If you have any achievements in the coming year, you will be able to return to the clan and inherit the inheritance of another kind."

Perhaps because his grandmother changed his name frequently, but his real name had to be opened to exist in this world, Li Tong had a subtle compensatory mentality and was keen on changing his name and surname. Of course, changing his name to Gao Lishi was also a kind of evil realm, but it was difficult for others to understand this pleasure except him.

After receiving the name given to the saint, Gao Lishi was excited again. He first thanked the saint for grace, and then bowed to Lego and said, "If it weren't for the brother's support and introduction, Lishi would not have the honor to be close to heaven and be favored by the saints? The grace of recreation, Lishi will never forget the inspiration of the brother, and the elder brother will be like a husband, and I will follow you forever!"

Lego was quite proud and happy to see the saint taking care of his little brother so much. He stepped forward and patted Gao Lishi on the shoulder and smiled, "What stupid words are you saying! The grace of recreation is only given by the saint, and I will stand in the holy will. No one in the world deserves to let us follow us for a long time!"

After changing Gao Lishi's name, Li Tong waved his hand and turned it away, and asked someone to lead him to the art hall first, and he picked up the document on the case and read it.

Lego was grinding ink and serving him. Before the joy had dissipated, he saw that the saint was not reading any important documents, so he whispered: "The saint who cares about me so much today makes me proud in front of others!"

"What? Is there anyone who dared to neglect you before?"

After hearing this, Li Tong responded casually, his eyes still fell into some selections of poems and essays for the imperial examination this spring. Let’s learn about the current popular style of poetry.

After hearing this, Lego laughed dryly and said, "This is not the case, it's just that I feel happy. The saint loves the house and the nuggets, which makes me very grateful. However, this closeness is also troublesome, and it hides too many secrets and attracts attention..."

When Li Tong heard this, his eyes suddenly condensed. He put down the text book and looked up at Lego and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"It's not a big deal. At noon, the Empress Dowager summoned me and asked me about Longqingfang. Of course, I didn't dare to report it, but I saw His Highness the Great Princess at the table, and I thought it was because of the words."

Lego said in a low voice, and after hearing this, Li Tong's eyes flashed, and then said, "You go to Chang'an Palace. If the eldest princess has not left the palace, tell her to stay overnight and prepare a family dinner in the harem for a while."
