Chapter 327
How could Gao Yi not know the mind of the Empress Dowager Dong, and if he really agreed to the proposal of the Empress Dowager Dong, wouldn't he become another He Jin in the future? The position of the general is certainly very tempting, but the situation of aiming to end the dictatorship of the imperial court by foreign relatives and eunuchs will never end, so how can we talk about eliminating maladministration and benefiting the people?
Thinking of this, Gao Yi bowed to the Empress Dowager Dong without humility or arrogance: "The Empress Dowager's kindness, Gao Yi understands it, but now is not the time to say this kind of thing, for the sake of today, you still have to find the whereabouts of Your Majesty first, and although Dong Zhuo came from the side of the Qing monarch, his real purpose is unpredictable, he has sent Xu Rong and Niu Fu to lead the elite soldiers to attack Mengjin and Xiaopingjin and other places, and I hope that the Queen Mother can make an edict to recruit Han Xian of Xiaopingjin for the use of the imperial court!"
He also said this very ambiguously, neither completely denying the meaning of the Empress Dowager Dong, nor responding positively, and at the same time citing the prestige of the Empress Dowager, just rightly pointing out the little usability of the Empress Dowager Dong, so as not to anger this old woman, nor to put himself in an embarrassing situation.
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Dong was fooled by Gao Yi, and said with a smile: "Well, what the general said is very true, at this time, it is true that the court should be determined first, and then talk about other things, the mourning family is a woman, and it is inconvenient to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, but this is an extraordinary period, and the mourning family can only act arrogantly, the general is so protective of Han Xian, presumably a usable talent, bother the general to take a pen and paper, and the mourning family should write an edict, and order him to be the captain of Xiaopingjin, so that he can obey the general's dispatch, how about it?"
Gao Yi knows better than anyone that this palace coup in Luoyang is another turning point related to the fate of the Han family, the ten permanent servants and He Jin killed each other, Yuan Shao led the troops to kill the ten permanent servants, the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang went to the north of Xiaopingjin, Dong Zhuo then led the troops to arrive, and then in the name of the heroes of the rebellion, he became the third prince of Luoyang and abolished the abolition, which pushed the already stormy Han Dynasty to an irreversible end.
But the current historical trend has already undergone subtle changes because of Gao Yi, the person who crossed over, and the changes are getting bigger and bigger under a series of butterfly effects, and even now, although He Jin died in Songshan, the palace change in Luoyang still happened because of Yuan Shao, but the difference is that the Son of Heaven is not with King Chen Liu, but with the Empress Dowager Dong.
Xu Shu's words can certainly untie the knot in his heart, but the troubles of the world, like unpredictable wind and rain, always come unexpectedly.
"Queen Mother, Your Highness, there may be a little bump in the road ahead, bear with me!"
Gao Yizheng was in a trance, and was suddenly attracted by the sound of the falling moon, he followed the prestige, only to see a black-clothed falling moon riding on a horse, in front of hundreds of cavalry while opening the way to explore the road, while turning back to the old man and the young in the carriage to politely admonish.
The carriage was originally bought by Gao Yi from a large family nearby because he was worried that Luoyue would not be able to travel with the army, but he didn't expect to be used by Luoyue so soon.
"Don't worry, it's much better than taking Xie'er to escape in the mountains before the mourning family, because of the mourning family, Mrs. Gao suffered from the cold, and the mourning family really didn't want to go!"
Empress Dowager Dong's slightly hoarse old voice came out of the car, and it sounded like two people to Gao Yi two years ago.
Two years is enough to change many people, and Gao Yi himself is no exception, not to mention this Empress Dowager Dong who lives in the deep palace?
Luoyue naturally saw Gao Yi who rode back from the front army on a floating cloud horse, but he didn't rush to meet him, and turned his horse's head, came to the side of the carriage, and said to the Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xiefu inside: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to be polite with Luoyue, although Luoyue doesn't know the etiquette in the palace, but she still knows the difference between respect and inferiority, Luoyue is just a lowly woman, and she doesn't dare to go in the same car with the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness!"
Empress Dowager Dong in the car sighed and said helplessly: "Our ancestors and grandchildren have arrived at this step of the field, what etiquette and etiquette can be talked about, it is already fortunate that they were not killed in the chaos!"
At this time, Xiao Liu Xie in the car cried in the arms of Empress Dowager Dong: "Grandmother, Xie'er is hungry!"
Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but touch Liu Xie's head and soothe: "Xie'er is good, I'll have something to eat when I get to the barracks in front!"
Liu Xie didn't listen, and cried more and more, and the Empress Dowager Dong was also anxious, and slapped Liu Xie on the back with a slap, and scolded angrily: "Why are you so disobedient, and I don't look at what time it is, no matter how hungry I am!"
After all, Liu Xie is still a five or six-year-old child, and after being beaten by the Empress Dowager Dong, although he stopped crying for the time being, his delicate little face couldn't help but show childlike resentment towards the Empress Dowager Dong, and tears stopped rolling in his eyes.
When Luoyue saw it, she hurriedly persuaded the Empress Dowager Dong: "The Empress Dowager is not in a hurry, I have something to eat here!"
Saying that, Luo Yue hurriedly took out a piece of dry food from the burden behind him, turned over and got off the horse, handed it to Liu Xie, and said with a sweet smile: "Your Highness, there are some dry food here, take it and eat it!"
Xiao Liu Xie's clear eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, but after seeing the affirmative eyes of the Empress Dowager Dong, he took it and ate it.
However, this dry food doesn't seem to suit Xiao Liu Xie's appetite, the little guy only ate a few bites, and he really couldn't swallow it, but maybe he was really hungry in his stomach, and he still held a dry food and gnawed non-stop.
Gao Yi saw it from a distance, and couldn't help sighing, a dignified King Chen Liu, actually fell like this, it is true that the court does not have the appearance of the court, the monarch and the minister do not have the appearance of the monarch and the minister, and how the things will develop in the future, he himself has no bottom.
"Brother Xiaodao, come here!" Gao Yi didn't rush to the carriage, and when he saw that He Xiaodao was also among the cavalry, he beckoned He Xiaodao over, and asked seriously, "Where did you find them?"
He Xiaodao tilted his head and thought for a while before replying: "In a cave not far from here, the brothers originally went into the mountain to catch some game to eat, but unexpectedly found them in the cave, at that time both of them had frozen and fainted, and after we rescued them, the master mother helped to wake them up, and then accidentally discovered their identities!"
Speaking of this, He Xiaodao lowered his voice and reminded Gao Yi: "Lord, I said that it is possible that they are fake."
Gao Yi shook his head: "No, I've seen them, this can't be wrong, I'm just wondering where Your Majesty has gone now, have you searched carefully?"
He Xiaodao followed Gao Yi's gaze to the Empress Dowager Dong and Xiao Liu Xie, shook his head and said: "The brothers nearby have already dug three feet into the ground and searched all over the ground, and no third person has been found, but the body of the eunuch who has been killed many times has been found, and there are also some soldiers suspected of Dong Zhuojun and Bai Bo thieves, disguised as civilians, all inquiring about the whereabouts of the emperor!"
Seeing Gao Yi looking at him suspiciously, He Xiaodao smiled: "After all, his subordinates have also been in the White Wave Thieves for a long time, so they naturally know their characteristics very well, and most of Dong Zhuo's people are born rough and strong, and ordinary civilians will not appear here!"
Gao Yi poked He Xiaodao's head with his hand, and snorted: "I can't see that this head is quite good, I will split it that day to see what is inside!"
He Xiaodao immediately waved his hand again and again: "Don't don't don't be a master, this is absolutely unacceptable, my brain is full of dirty, filthy and smelly brain pulp bone marrow, it's not good-looking at all, the lord should cut off Dong Zhuo's fat head as a wine glass, and use this is a serious matter, otherwise the brothers will have a hard time!"
Gao Yi showed two rows of white teeth, made a difficult mouth shape, and scolded He Xiaodao: "It's none of your business, get out!"
"No!" He Xiaodao heard this, and actually jumped off his horse, circled his thin figure in a circle, and rolled into the distance very roundly, making the soldiers laugh.
Empress Dowager Dong heard the laughter of the soldiers, and her attention was also diverted from Xiao Liu Xie's body, and following the prestige, she naturally saw Gao Yi who gradually rode her horse, the look on her face changed a few times, and finally raised up the majesty she had when she was in the palace, and chuckled at Gao Yi: "General Gao, long time no see!"
Gao Yi immediately rolled the saddle and got off the horse, bowed down in front of the Empress Dowager Dong's car, bowed his head and said: "Minister Gao Yi saw the Empress Dowager An, farewell for two years, the Empress Dowager's complexion is still so good!"
Saying that, Gao Yi bowed to Xiao Liu Xie again, and said piously: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Chen Liu, Weichen is late, please ask the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness to commit a crime!"
Luoyue had never seen Gao Yi's respectful appearance, but even so, he walked to Gao Yi's side and knelt on the ground.
Empress Dowager Dong was about to call Gao Yi and Luoyue to level down, but before she could speak, Xiao Liu Xie suddenly stopped eating, pointed at Gao Yi and said to Empress Dowager Dong: "Grandmother, this big brother and grandson have seen it!"
Gao Yi smiled and said: "King Chen Liu's memory is really good, no wonder, no wonder—"
Gao Yi didn't say the rest of the words, if he said it, it would be a big crime to kill his head again.
Empress Dowager Dong understood that Gao Yi had something to say, and she didn't say anything, waved her hand to signal Gao Yi and Luoyue to get up, and then took Xiao Liu Xie in her arms, and said quietly: "No wonder Hong'er wants to make him the prince, right?"
Luoyue looked at Gao Yi inexplicably, although she has seen a lot of the world than ordinary women, but she doesn't understand these deceitful struggles in the political field, her principle has always been to try not to quarrel with things that can be done, but after following Gao Yi, her temper is a little better.
Gao Yi knew the truth that a companion is like a tiger, he shook his head lightly at Luoyue, signaled his eyes, and then said to Empress Dowager Dong with a smile on his face: "Weichen is just a local county guard, and it is not appropriate to put too much beak on the matter of establishing a prince!"
