At this time, it is evening, although the weather in the north is cold, but there is a lack of lights in Jinyang City, people come and go, the noise is constant, merchants and hawkers are selling all kinds of goods, and the Qinglou wine shop is crowded.

It is very different from the core area of the city, far away from the downtown area, silent, it is a place where the powerful gather, and in a house in this area, a thin figure is watching the swimming fish next to the pond, the cold wind is biting, I saw this figure from time to time to cast a handful of bait, pleasantly looking at the red carp competing for bait, like a fire burning at the bottom of the pond, very spectacular.

This figure had been standing for an afternoon, even though the sky was gradually darkening, and there was a trace of snowflakes floating in the sky, which was full of cold, but he did not feel cold at all, just quietly watched the red carp in a trance, as if something was on his mind......

After a long time, I saw a black-clothed man dressed in very concealment come out of the darkness, gently came to the figure, put on a white coat for him, and then bowed his head respectfully and said: "Little master, the mission has failed, and the goal has been achieved. ”

As if he hadn't heard, the figure continued to cast bait to watch the swimming fish, but despite this, the man in black did not dare to show a trace of impatience at all, and lowered his head to accompany him......

After about a while, the figure slowly turned around and smiled gently at the man in black, "As expected, there will be good shows to watch in the future, I hope they won't disappoint." ”

The man in black was wearing a black coat, his face was wrapped in a thick black cloth, only two eyeballs were exposed, flashing with a faint dark light, "There will indeed be a wonderful show worth watching, and the people in the play don't know that the person behind the scenes who operates this scene is the little master, and sooner or later the world will be the little master." ”

When the young man known as the little master heard this, a smug smile appeared on his handsome and white face, but he deliberately said modestly in his mouth: "This is too early, just like the carp in this pond, slowly lurking, waiting for the opportunity to move, and finally be able to become a dragon overnight, the water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be ......."

The man in black bowed, patted his fart and said: "The little master is wise and martial, it is the dragon, sooner or later he will cultivate and ascend to heaven, and his subordinates will have to follow the little lord when the time comes." ”

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, laughed, and then pointed to the man in black and said: "Good life, there will be a day when you will be prosperous, rich, promoted and rich by no less than you." ”

The black-clothed man's faint eyes lit up, he respectfully thanked him, and was about to retire first, but was stopped by the young man......

"Wait, those people have no use anymore, I heard that the leader has fled, arrange it so that he doesn't see the sun tomorrow."

The man in black shuddered when he heard this, this is an old man who has followed the little master since he was a child, and he will kill him if he says he will kill it, and sure enough, the descendants of the Gao family are not good friends and benevolent people.

"Subordinates obey!"

......

In the same Jinyang City, in the same area, in different houses, a tall young man was chatting with several staff members about government affairs, and at this time, a general wearing armor held a token in his hand, walked over quickly, and knelt down on one knee towards the young man who was sitting on the main throne and said: "Shizi, the prime minister has a letter." ”

The young man said "um", and the eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly took the token and presented it to the young man, who quietly took the token, opened it and looked at it, and gradually frowned, and several of the staff cronies at the table did not dare to ask, so they had to keep looking at the young man's expression, and his mind was full of doubts.

After about a while, the man slapped the letter heavily on the table and complained angrily: "How angry my father has wronged me indiscriminately! ”

The cronies and staff members under the table looked at each other, confused, and saw an adult man who was Svenwen puzzled and asked, "Shizi, what is the matter with the letter from the Prime Minister?" ”

The young man slapped the table again and snorted, "Hmph, if you look at what the letter says, you will know why this son is angry." ”

The adult man's name is Chen Yuankang, the minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and he is deeply trusted by Gao Huan and Gao Cheng. "It's Chen Yuankang, which shows that his talent is extraordinary.

And the young man who called himself "Shizi" was Gao Cheng, Gao Yang's eldest brother, who was currently the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and held the position of secretary of the Central Committee. In the words of modern people, the second generation of officials at the top of the pyramid can be said to be the goal that cannot be surpassed in the life of his peers, and the history books record that he "has been brilliant since childhood, strict and strategic, and has political talent", and the fifteen-year-old Gao Cheng entered the auxiliary government of the dynasty, worshiped the general, and was named the king of Bohai. The authority was quickly established by reforming the system of electing officials, punishing corruption, rectifying the administration of officials, and enacting laws. However, it is a pity that because Gao Cheng is arrogant and domineering, he was finally assassinated by the slaves on the eve of Zen.

After Chen Yuankang read it, his expression did not change, he just passed the letter down and showed it to other colleagues, and then gently persuaded Gao Cheng on the main throne: "Shizi, this plan is very insidious, just to take advantage of the war, Ming Wei threw the pot to Yuwentai's thief army, but in fact, he framed the prince, but as the saying goes, 'the body is not afraid of the shadow', the prince has not done such a lack of morality, so he doesn't have to worry too much, it is better to be still, just report the prime minister truthfully, others disdain to explain, and there is no need to explain too much." ”

Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, Song Youdao, Cui Ang, Lu Fei and other cronies and ministers all spoke out in favor of Chen Yuankang's opinion, and Gao Cheng listened to Chen Yuankang's words, plus everyone agreed, couldn't help but nodded, and his expression was not as angry as before, "Listening to your words, it is better to read a book for ten years, and Changyou is really Zhuge reborn!" ”

"The prince has won the award, how can the subordinate He De be able to compare with Zhuge Xianxian." Chen Yuankang listened to Gao Cheng's praise and replied modestly.

"Haha, deserve it, if it weren't for Mr. reminding, this son would probably be trapped, and he would have been charged with assassinating his own brother, although I look down on Hou Niyu, but I don't bother to send someone to assassinate him, not to mention that Hu Niyu has always been stupid and stupid, will I be a fool?"

A group of cronies and ministers listened to Gao Cheng's conversation, and nodded in agreement: "The prince is reasonable. ”

Chen Yuankang continued to add: "Shizi, Xiaguan feels that this matter will definitely not be so simple, and even Xiaguan doubts that the second prince was stabbed by a secret arrow before Could it be the same force? It's best to send more people to track it down. ”

Gao Cheng said "um", nodded, as if he thought of something again, and asked everyone suspiciously: "Do you think it will be the second brother who acted and directed this play?" ”

Everyone fell into deep thought when they heard this, only to see Cui Jishu shake his head and say: "The last assassination of the second prince will definitely not be the scene of the second prince himself, after all, no one will joke with their own lives, but this time the lower officials can't judge it." ”

Gao Cheng was disappointed after hearing this, and then looked at Chen Yuankang, and he seemed to see Gao Cheng's intentions, shook his head and did not speak.

Gao Cheng had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "It's a pity, but the coming days are long, and this son will definitely dig out the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
