Chapter 223
Hearing this, Li Chengdao replied: "I was brave enough just now and overheard the conversation between the emperor and him. That person is Mr. Han Yixuan from the Ministry of Industry, who is responsible for building the imperial mausoleum, right?"

"That's right, Chengdao," Li Yuan walked slowly, and said lightly, "Chengdao, do you know why I care so much about building the imperial tomb?"

Li Chengdao heard the words, and replied: "Grandfather, you are now in your prime, so you don't need to think about this, Chengdao is also very puzzled by this matter!"

Hearing this, Li Yuan sighed, and said, "Chengdao, why do you think I built the imperial tomb? I know that I am not in my prime of life as you said, but I also know that it is indeed fashionable to build an imperial tomb now." It's early, but I'm not just for myself."

When the two came to the bedroom, Gao Shida had already returned from the ten princes' mansion, and was serving Li Yuan and Li Chengdao at the moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Your Uncle Wang Li Shimin committed a rebellion. The Xuanwu Sect revolution caused countless deaths and injuries, especially your parents. They are the children I love the most."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan's eye circles were a little red, and Gao Shida at the side thoughtfully gave a silk handkerchief, but Li Yuan took it and didn't use it, but put it directly on the table.

"Your father Jiancheng has always been my favorite child. I had the intention to pass on the Tang Dynasty's foundation to him, but I didn't expect that it cost him his life. Now I can't sleep every night, and I think of Jiancheng when I close my eyes." It seems that I want to build this imperial mausoleum not for myself, but more so that Jiancheng can have a feng shui treasure land and be buried in peace, do you understand?"

Although it was said that Li Chengdao had come through time travel, he had only spent a short time with Li Jiancheng and others, and he had no feelings for him, but he still couldn't help but feel his heart move when he heard Li Yuan say this.

Li Yuan continued: "Okay, let's talk about it here. Chengdao, it's getting late. You go back first. Princess Xiuhe, please be more considerate for me, and save that little girl from coming here every time. It bothers me!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan ordered someone to send Li Chengdao away. Watching Li Chengdao leave, Li Yuan recalled Prince Jiancheng in his heart, and his eye circles turned red again.

At this time, the eunuch Gao Shida at the side saw this and suddenly felt that the time had come, so he pretended to pick up a thin quilt and pretended to put it on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't turn his head, picked up the memorial of that day and read it. After a while, Li Yuan suddenly heard the sound of crying from behind.

Li Yuan was very surprised when he arrived. When he looked back, he found that it was Gao Shida silently wiping tears on the side. Li Yuan was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Shida, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Gao Shida quickly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old servant deserves to die. I can't control my mood for a while and disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"

"Get up, you are also an old man who has followed me for many years. If you are given to death, I will have no relatives by my side! It's so good, why are you crying? If you have something to say, I will help you find a way!"

Li Yuan said, at this moment, Li Yuan attaches great importance to family affection, and also cares about the old man who has been serving him for a long time. At this moment, Gao Shida suddenly cried, so he naturally wanted to ask for clarification.

When Gao Shida heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude, but the tears flooded even more, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, making bang bang noises.

Seeing this, Li Yuan stopped his words. After questioning, Gao Shida finally explained the reason.

It turns out that with the passage of time, the power of Jinyiwei has become more and more powerful after various cases. Now all parties have discovered that this secret organization established by the previous emperor is the real authority.

Therefore, all parties want to have a leg in it, but some so-called "smart" people find that it is better to build a new glory than to share with others, so they want to establish a new organization to check and balance Jinyiwei. Everyone carefully selected, and this important task fell on Gao Shida.

Gao Shida is just an eunuch, but even though he is an eunuch, compared with other people, the eunuch who serves the emperor is naturally half taller. As the saying goes, the prime minister is a seventh-rank official, let alone the emperor's close servant.

Gao Shida entered the palace since he was a child and had never read any books, but he served Li Yuan from the beginning. This was an advantage that no one else could match. If the King of Qin Li Shimin was in power, it would be nothing. Li Yuan was just the previous emperor who was imprisoned, but It's different now. Everyone in the world doesn't know that Li Chengdao, the real person in power today, is the most filial person. Therefore, in the eyes of those with evil intentions, Gao Shida has naturally become the hottest target.

Gao Shida was greedy for fame and fortune, and naturally fell under the deception and money offensive of the crowd, but suffered from no chance, but today, it seems that Gao Shida has been looking forward to the moment for a long time.

Gao Shida was happy in his heart, but his face looked mournful, and he said sadly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, it's because my nephew from the same family didn't live up to his expectations, committed some crimes for no reason, and fell into the hands of Lord Jinyiwei Qinglong, The old minister also begged bitterly. Originally, Master Qinglong meant to be lenient, but who knows, on that day, His Highness King Wu was looking through the roster of Jin Yiwei's imperial prison, and accidentally found my nephew's name. His Highness Wu Wang said Is this person still there? In the end, I didn’t think that Lord Qinglong would make a mistake, and the next day, my poor nephew..."

Speaking of this, Gao Shida's face was full of tears, and Li Yuan naturally knew the fate of Gao Shida's non-existent nephew when he saw this, and he couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in his heart.

Li Yuan sighed slightly, and said for a long time, "That's something that can't be helped!"

Hearing this, Gao Shida looked at Li Yuan's face, and secretly screamed in his heart, so he pretended to be righteous and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave has served you for a long time, and I don't know if I should say something today!"

Li Yuan only thought that he was suffering from bereavement, so he said: "Speak, Lao Gao, you are also an old man in front of me, what else can't you say?"

Gao Shida heard the words and continued: "Your Majesty, don't blame the old slave for talking too much. We slaves shouldn't be talking too much about this matter in the court. But now, does your Majesty know how much power this Jin Yiwei has?"

Li Yuan didn't know much about Jin Yiwei, so he was naturally puzzled, and asked, "It's just a team of guards, how big can it be?"

Hearing this, Gao Shida reported back: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. Qinglong, the current commander of the Jinyi Guards, not only supervises all civil and military officials, but also has the power of life and death given by His Highness King Wu. He can kill first and then report. Up and down the court, the civil and military officials have a say in the Jinyiwei." Which one is not silent like a cicada?"

"Jin Yiwei is so powerful now, not to mention the civil and military officials, even the descendants of the royal family are unhappy. If you want to be arrested, you can be imprisoned if you want. Whether or not it counts depends on Jin Yiwei's willingness!"
