Chapter 164: Gao Yang, Gao Yang

When the dragon boat arrived on the shore, Qin Mubai bid farewell to the emperor and went to the Xianju Palace.

His mood has never been so complicated as at this moment.

I can't tell if it's heaviness, happiness, distress, guilt, or emotion.

Li Shimin and Princess Gaoyang, a father and daughter, made Qin Mubai feel too many complicated emotions. Between him, Li Shimin, and Princess Gaoyang, there are complex relationships between monarchs and ministers, fathers and daughters, lovers and even hostile enemies.

The cutting is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy.

For Gao Yang, from the beginning, Qin Mubai really didn't have any wrong thoughts, and he couldn't even talk about a good feeling, he just wanted to stay away. But this persistent little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, with her uncomplaining and unrepentant stupidity, really moved him.

For Li Shimin, Qin Mubai has always regarded him as a "symbol" in his heart. He is synonymous with a famous monarch in history, and he is a god that no one can reach in Zhenguan, he is blessed by the four seas, but in life, he is just an ordinary man, father, and friend.

Li Shimin has the grace of knowing Qin Mubai, from the beginning. From the beginning of Wu Meiniang's marriage, Qin Mubai felt that he was always a little wary of facing this emperor, because he had offended him. But Li Shimin has always trusted him very much. Even after the incident of Princess Gaoyang once, he did not show any intention of blaming Qin Mubai, but instead reflected on himself in front of Qin Mubai.

This was all unexpected by Qin Mubai.

It is true that Li Shimin is a person who is as wise as a person who uses the emperor's mental skills perfectly, but his open-mindedness and bearing really make Qin Mubai admire, and he has to give birth to a trace of admiration.

Putting himself in his shoes as Li Shimin, Qin Mubai expected that he might not have the good temper and patience he had.

If anyone snatched the woman he wanted, Qin Mubai would definitely take it back without hesitation and kill the person in seconds; If anyone drives their daughter crazy, they will be desperate to kill her to the point that there is no scum left!

Li Shimin, how did he explain himself and endure it? …… The first emperor of the ages is really different from the ordinary!

Princess Gaoyang often said that as soon as she arrived in Chang'an, she felt constrained and depressed. She is just a princess, in other words, as the emperor, isn't Li Shimin more depressed and restrained than him? In particular, he aspires to be a Ming Jun and a saint. Therefore, he will always have the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Li Shu in his heart, and always pay attention to his words and deeds as a king.

The grass people of Li Shu can draw their swords and kill people because of a moment of anger, but the Son of Heaven cannot be angry at will, especially the Holy Monarch Mingjun, let alone it.

Li Shimin is not easy to ......

Thinking about it, I have unconsciously walked outside the Immortal Palace. Qin Mubai saw the brightly clad hundred cavalry guards from a distance. I have also asked before, and it is Pang Fei who is on duty at the foreman here today.

Seeing Qin Mubai coming, Pang Fei hurriedly ran over and bowed: "General." ”

"Well, I'm here to see Princess Gaoyang." Qin Mubai said briefly.

Pang Fei was slightly stunned, and he didn't ask much in front of everyone, and nodded: "General, please." Her Royal Highness the Princess...... But in the Huanyi side hall in the apse of the immortal palace. ”

"Huanyi Partial Palace?" Qin Mubai twisted his brows lightly, sighed again, and secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, it's a cold palace!

"The palace passage is tortuous, let's let the general lead the way!"

"Let's go."

The two of them walked into the Immortal Residence Hall one after the other, Qin Mubai's eyebrows were deep, his eyes were locked, and he didn't squint and just walked forward. I feel that today's hall is extremely deserted, and there seems to be a bone-chilling chill coming everywhere.

"Why is it so cold in the temple?" Qin Mubai asked casually.

Pang Fei said in a low voice: "Since Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang went crazy, Concubine Yin Niangniang removed most of the palace maids and maids in the palace, leaving only one or two who delivered food. The charcoal in the hall for warm winter has also been used up, and the windows and doors are not open on weekdays, so it is extremely cold. ”

"No wonder I didn't see anyone all the way." Qin Mubai sighed lightly, and a leisurely sigh came from a long distance in the empty palace.

At this moment, a mellow voice came from a room with a half-open window on the side: "Who is it?" ”

"It's Concubine Yin." Pang Fei hurriedly whispered to Qin Mubai.

"Tell Concubine Yin, Qin Mubai, a micro-minister, who came to visit Her Royal Highness the princess." Qin Mubai stood by the door and replied. I secretly wondered in my heart, why was the voice I heard just now so old and tired? I had heard Yin Niang speak before, although it was not a natural sound, but it was also majestic and self-respecting, and her voice was transparent, at least twenty years younger than what she heard now.

The Yin Concubine in the room was silent for a moment, and just said, "Oh, then you can go." ”

From this voice, it seemed that no emotional fluctuations in her could be heard. Like the groans and sighs of a dying man, the twilight is cold and stiff.

Qin Mubai twisted his brows lightly, and replied: "Weichen retreats." ”

The two walked a few distances, and Qin Mubai asked, "How is Concubine Yin?" ”

"Hey, I've got it!" Pang Fei sighed and said worriedly, "Since Princess Gaoyang escaped from the palace, she has never slept a single night, nor has she eaten a full meal. Later, the princess went crazy. Concubine Yin seemed to have aged twenty years old overnight, and even half of her hair was white...... Afterwards, the emperor was angry that Concubine Yin ignored her again, even if she came to visit the princess, she passed through the door of Concubine Yin and did not enter. Up to now, she snuggled up on the couch every day and rarely even got out of bed, relying only on one or two palace maids to wait for her diet and daily life, as if she was paralyzed. What a pathetic! ”

"Got it." Qin Mubai replied lightly, but his heart suddenly ached.

Is this all my iniquity?!!

……

"Teacher, here, this is it." Pang Fei stopped in front of a round arch and pointed to a courtyard inside.

"Well, you go back."

Pang Fei retreated, Qin Mubai cut his hands behind his back, and slowly walked into this small courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard there were many ropes and supports, all of which were used to dry clothes. There are many wooden basins and other laundry supplies around the wall, and a wooden house stands alone in the middle, which is so incompatible with the entire splendid Tang Palace.

This is the Raccoon Bureau. Historically, this is the place where the most humble palace maids in the court do heavy chores. For example, laundry and toilet washing. In addition, there are also some concubines who have made mistakes or been left out in the cold have been thrown here to be punished, and they generally have never seen the light of day, and they have even been bullied by the little eunuchs who are in charge here, which is worse than the exile of the minister.

Once accompanied by the king's side, what a scenery; But as long as you make a mistake, you will never be able to live again, and life is better than death!

But there are very few princesses who have received such treatment. It can be seen that at the beginning, Li Shimin was really angry!

……

After walking slowly for a few steps, a eunuch who was napping in the ear room of the side hall hurriedly ran out, looked Qin Mubai up and down, and said with his eyes in turn: "Who are you, how did you come here?" ”

"Hundred horsemen envoy Qin Mubai." Qin Mubai took out the golden order and glanced at him, and said, "Where is Princess Gaoyang?" ”

"Ugh! ......" The eunuch was really surprised, obviously knowing a lot about Princess Gaoyang, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said in a low voice: "General, the villain has heard of your name for a long time, and knows that you can come and go at will in the harem. But in this situation...... Why don't you avoid suspicion, but you still come to see the princess? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you are a eunuch, and you dare to teach me a lesson?" Qin Mubai snorted coldly, "Say, where is the princess?" ”

"Uh...... It's in the backyard ashram. The general, please come with the villain. The eunuch was horrified, and had no choice but to lead the way.

There were a lot of people in the backyard, and there were about a dozen women in coarse cloth clothes, all sitting in a row next to a well water, scrubbing the piles of clothes. These women, the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the old ones were fifty-six years old, and when they saw Qin Mubai, a big man, they all stopped their hands and stared at him as if they were looking at rare birds and beasts.

These women, I'm afraid it's rare to see a real man in a few years!

", what are you looking at, do your laundry!" The eunuch roared loudly, and kicked down a little girl with his foot. The little girl screamed and threw herself into the tub, knocking her head hard, and soaking wet.

The other women were shocked, and no one came forward to help her, so they buried their heads in panic and quickly washed their clothes.

Qin Mubai stopped, his face sank, he glared at the eunuch, and stepped forward to help the maid up.

"Thank you Langjun, thank you......" The woman was flattered, and she glanced at the eunuch a few times in fear, hurriedly pushed Qin Mubai away and sat down, poured half a bucket of water into the wooden basin, and washed her clothes hard.

"You!" Qin Mubai turned around, stared at the eunuch with his eyes like knives, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let me know again that you are bullying and beating the woman here, be careful that I pinch you to death!" ”

"Ahh The eunuch was so shocked that his face twitched, and he looked at Qin Mubai blankly and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, the villain knows." ”

"You also know that I am a hundred horsemen, and I can come and go at will in the palace. I can also manage the affairs of the harem court to some extent. Qin Mubai said in a deep voice, "I will leave this here today, and if I find out that anyone dares to bully the Huanyi girl here, I will definitely ask him to taste it back a hundred times!" ”

"Yes, yes! General Huwei, I dare to offend Xiao Xiaoan? What the general says, that's what it is. The eunuch was so frightened that cold sweat flowed from the corners of his forehead, and he hurriedly responded.

Those women were secretly happy, and watched Qin Mubai walk away with the eyes of sending gods and worshiping Buddhas, and muttered secretly: "Who is this person?" What a majesty! ”

"How can he come to the harem?"

"It's okay now, those dead eunuchs won't dare to bully us in the future!"

"We have to know who that person is, and if we suffer in the future, we can call him the master!"

"What a true immortal living Buddha who saves suffering!! If I can get out of this cold palace, I am willing to repay him by making cattle and horses for the rest of my life! ”

"Me too!"

"Me too!! ……”

……

The eunuch walked slowly, and when he heard a chatter behind him, his heart was entangled and annoyed, and he didn't dare to be angry. Qin Mubai glanced back at him, he hurriedly squeezed a smile on his face, and smirked: "Don't worry, general, the villains will treat them like their own sisters and grandmothers in the future!" ”

"If I had known that anyone had abused the princess here, he would have regretted that his father had given birth to him." Qin Mubai said to himself, but the eunuch was a little frightened, and he panicked: "The general is too worried." Although the princess was degraded, but it was a golden branch and jade leaf, and I and other villains dare to make a mistake? ”

"There is no best."

"General, here it is." The eunuch came to a separate hut and said.

Qin Mubai stepped forward to take a look, only to see that there was still a huge copper lock hanging in this hut, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "You eunuch, you dare to lock the princess in a ghostly prison, you are impatient?!" ”

"No, no, no, the general misunderstood!" The eunuch hurriedly waved his hand, "This lock was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to be hung by the villain." The princess was so crazy that she would beat and scold anyone whenever she saw them, and she made the whole Huanyi Bureau so crazy that she almost set fire to the place and burned it to the ground, and even His Majesty the Emperor dared to smash it with a laundry hammer. Therefore......"

"Stop talking nonsense, open the door!!"

"Yes, yes!"

The eunuch took out the key to open the door tremblingly, and chattered: "General, you can be careful, the crazy man is very strong." The weak princess of Pingli is crazy, and three or five people can't cure him. And she didn't recognize anyone, even the concubine and the emperor dared to beat and scold......"

As he spoke, the door opened.

It's shocking when you look at it!

Qin Mubai's heart was stabbed as if it had been stabbed by a red-hot iron drill, and the violent contraction was almost suffocating!

"Gao Yang, are you really crazy?!! ……”
