Chapter 10: The Second Blow of the Golden Hammer
Early in the morning of the second day, Gao Yu got up to wash, instructed his subordinates to prepare carriages and horses, and prepared to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother. I Gao Yu is not a dough that can be bullied, the world affairs can not lift a reason, you connive at the princess to break into the palace to make trouble, if you don't suppress your arrogance, I am afraid that there will be no place for me to settle in the capital in the future.
Now Gao Yu only hated why didn't he make a move earlier and put Wu Zhi to death, now seeing that the king is already full-fledged, even if he joins forces with Cai Jing, he is afraid that it will be difficult to shake it, unless he ...... Suddenly remembering the rumors of discord between the king and the queen mother, Gao Yu's eyes lit up, and it may not be impossible......
"The palace marshal ......" I don't know when Mr. Sun came behind Gao Yu and woke up Gao Yu in contemplation.
"How?" Gao Yu is a little strange, Mr. Sun rarely takes the initiative to disturb him, every day just to summarize the news of the capital to himself, rumors, Mr. Sun is also well-informed enough, it is a big help for Gao Yu.
"The villain thinks that the palace marshal should not have a bad relationship with your king at this time......" Mr. Sun said cautiously.
Gao Yu's face sank, and he looked at Mr. Sun silently, unless he asked about it, Mr. Sun would never take random ideas and interfere with his train of thought, what is wrong today?
Mr. Sun sighed when he saw Gao Yu's appearance and said: "Since the palace marshal insists on the villain, he doesn't dare to say more, I just hope that the palace marshal will act cautiously and not fall into the quagmire......"
Gao Yu nodded slightly, "I have my own measure!" "Reading it to him, he also had good intentions, and he didn't say anything to blame, speaking of which, it is indeed very unwise to face your king, but although Gao Yanai is stubborn. But it is Gao Yu's heart, and it is also Gao Yu's weakness, moving Gao Yanei is really more unbearable than moving Gao Yu, and now his son has broken his leg, and he can't even get out of bed in the future, no matter how deep Gao Yu's scheming is, it is unbearable.
At this time, the subordinates came to report that the carriage and horses had been prepared, and Gao Yu returned to the backyard to change his official clothes, and Mr. Sun sighed and walked towards his own residence in the east courtyard.
Wait for the high level to be ready. It's been half a pillar of incense time, look at the sky, the east is already a fiery red, hurriedly walked out of the mansion, was about to board the double carriage in front of the steps, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves on the bluestone road from far and near, rapid sound, Gao Yu blamed himself in his heart, the palace marshal, in front of the mansion, but few riders dared to gallop and turn their heads to look. I saw more than a dozen horsemen galloping for a divine horse, and the purple-clothed maple Feng sat on a white horse, and it was Wu Zhi.
Gao Yu ran to intercede with a sneer? Want to hit yourself with a few soft words? Don't underestimate my high spirits.
Wu Zhi and his party ran to the front and grabbed the reins. The horse neighed, and Wu Zhi turned over and dismounted. Gao Yu sneered and stood still, wanting to hear what your king had to say.
Wu Zhi strode over with a golden mace in his hand, and Gao Yugang sneered and said, "Chitose is so early!" But seeing Wu Zhi, the golden mace in his hand suddenly raised a "snap" and smashed it on Gao Yu's shoulder blade, which was not light. It wasn't too heavy, but it smashed Gao Yu's bones and bones cracked, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
Wu Zhi pulled up Gao Yu. He shouted, "Traitor, you are committing murder." Hurt the mighty general's back and chew his tongue to destroy the reputation of the royal family and come with me! Go to reason in front of the Queen Mother! Saying that, he took Gao Yu and left, where did the former guards of Gao Yu's Mansion see this battle, they looked at each other for a while, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them, this is not something they can intervene in.
Gao Yu was so sore that he had a handful of tears, but he was speechless, and was pulled forward by Wu Shi, this time the strength was used cleverly, that is, it did not hurt his body, and he was in severe pain.
This road can be lively, the rising sun, the streets of Tokyo pedestrians gradually become more and more, Gao Yufu turned over is Pan Yi Street, also known as the East Cross Street, the southernmost end is more than a dozen tea shops, the fifth watch is lit at dawn, and it is also the prototype of "drinking morning tea", at this time the tea shop in the tea shop just happened to disperse, and I saw the street pushing and shoving, and a line of people came over, at that time, the Song people were rich, especially the "petty bourgeoisie" who had nothing to do in Bianjing, and there were many people who had nothing to do, and they all looked at it, and it didn't matter, there was the head of the idler, and exclaimed: "Isn't this the palace marshal?" β
The rest of the people were shocked and asked, "Is the palace marshal's mansion taking people again?" β
"No, no, no, he was also taken the land, but he was the palace marshal!" The head figure also looked stunned when he spoke.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at the official uniform wrinkled into a ball, the official hat was crooked, and he was pulled and staggered, and the extremely embarrassed figure was the palace marshal Gao Yu?
"You can't be mistaken, can you?" Some people don't believe it.
"No, no, I'm the one who has entered the palace marshal's mansion!" The head of the face has already entered the palace marshal's mansion by himself, and he is proud of it, and he has been talking about it all day long, but he suddenly felt a little ashamed when he said it, and then his words were lowered.
"Ah, look at that golden wedge!" Someone exclaimed.
"Ahh Most of the idlers are suddenly well-informed, and they talk about "important military affairs" after tea and dinner every day, and if they don't know the folk customs of Tokyo, outsiders will hear them speak, and they will think that they must be the pillars of the country, and the auxiliary ministers of the imperial court.
As for the dragon head mace, it was the top topic of these idlers a few days ago, and even how many scales the flying dragon on the gong was, these people also knew a lot, and most of them had already guessed the end of this scene.
"This is your king? Sure enough, it's too young as rumored! A middle-aged idler stroked his beard and sighed.
"What's so great about being old? The palace marshal is about the same age as you, and he is still in the hands of your king? A young idler was not pleased to hear and retorted.
Gao Yu was dragged by Wu Zhi and walked on the street, listening to the pedestrians next to him, he was ashamed and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but in his heart, he suddenly felt that the king was deliberately humiliating himself.
"Go hire a carriage!" Wu Zhi frowned, and immediately a guard galloped away, and not long after, a carriage came from the corner carriage and horse shop, Wu Zhi pulled Gao Yu into the carriage, threw Gao Yu on the seat, and didn't look at him, and coldly ordered the guards: "Go to the Forbidden Palace!" β
Gao Yu only relieved his breath at this time and looked at Wu Zhi and said, "Your king is so clever!" β
Wu Zhili also ignored his eyes, looked at the scenery outside the window, and didn't know what to think.
The carriage was moving very fast. After a short time, he had arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Palace, Wu Zhi pulled Gao Yu out of the car, and Gao Yu struggled: "This official will go by himself!" Wu Zhi didn't care about grabbing Gao Yu's neck and got out of the car, where could Gao Yu compare to Wu Zhi's strength? Like a chicken, he was carried by Wu Zhi in his hand and went straight to the forbidden palace.
Seeing that Wu Zhi's face was pale, the palace guards pulled Gao Yu even more, and they didn't dare to stop him, so they hurriedly went to report, and waited for Wu Zhi to pull Gao Yu to the front of Xuande Building. There was already a palace lady in a hurry to usher in Wu Zhi to go to the East Palace to meet the Queen Mother.
The door of the condensation hall is all gold nails, the vermilion lacquer wall is all bricks and stones, the foot is engraved and the dragon and phoenix fly away, it is not the shape of the carved painting, the building is Junnan, the layer of thorns is covered with glazed tiles, the ruler is curved, the floor is full of columns, and the color sill is colored. It is too much of a palace, the new emperor set up the queen mother to listen to the government, and it has also become one of the palaces where the queen mother summoned ministers.
In the bright hall, the princess was frowning and thinking about something. Although slightly thin. But seeing the grace and elegance even more, Wu Zhi walked in with Gao Yu in surprise, his eyes widened in surprise, and he said strangely: "What is your king doing?" β
Wu Zhi threw Gao Yu aside and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother is the master of her courtiers!" β
Gao Yu's body is convenient. Immediately kowtowed, tears in his eyes and said: "The queen mother is the master of Weichen......"
Wang Guifei frowned slightly and said to Gao Yu: "Aiqing will say first!" β
Gao Yu was overjoyed. With tears in her eyes, she immediately told the princess how to break into the house. How to hurt the palace guards, and how to seriously injure Gao Yanei, the things one by one, and finally said that the king did not divide the indiscriminate, bullied the weak, smashed himself with gold maces for no reason, and even pulled himself to walk in the downtown area, so that he would have no face to be a man in the future, and he was sad and angry, and even kowtowed, and blood came out of his forehead.
Wang Guifei turned her head to look at Wu Zhi: "What your king Gao Aiqing said is true?" β
Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "How can he really do it if he is just one-sided?" In Wu Zhi's mouth, things immediately became different, Gao Ya was rampant, and the dog bit the royal golden pig in the noisy city, this is just a trivial matter in his bad deeds, especially angry, the Gao family talked about the princess's short and long, slandered the princess, and the princess was angry, but he wanted to reason with the young lady of the Gao family, who knew that he could not enter the palace with the royal gift, and the guards were even more disrespectful to Concubine Ye in his words, and finally the two sides clashed, and the palace guards besieged Concubine Ye, fortunately, Concubine Ye broke up the guards and escaped from the Gao Mansion, as for how to hurt the son of the Gao family, it is not known, I think that the son of the Gao family participated in the siege of Concubine Ye, and was injured in the melee of Concubine Ye, as for Gao Yu said that he came to the door to find trouble, it is pure nonsenseγ
"The queen mother thinks that a weak woman in the house will be stupid enough to go to the palace marshal's mansion to make trouble?" Wu Zhi Zhenzhen is authentic.
Wang Guifei glanced at Wu Zhi a few times and did not speak.
In the end, Wu Zhi said: "The young lady of the Gao family slandered her insiders, but as soon as the Taiwei Xuan asked, she knew that there were female dependents in the Taiwei Mansion and could listen to her bastard words!" β
Gao Yu snorted coldly: "My daughter-in-law is just quarreling with the dog, how can she talk nonsense accurately in a panic?" The princess had already arrived in my house when she spoke! β
Wu Zhi said lightly: "What's the matter with my concubine in your quarrel?" Can you talk nonsense in a panic? If it weren't for your young lady talking nonsense all day long, how would my family go to your house? β
Wang Guifei heard their argument and sighed: "Gao Qing, please get up!" "Summoned Gong E's order to send a handkerchief to wipe Gao Yu's head.
"The mourning family already knows about this matter, and the two of them first passed back to Concubine Ye and the Wang family to enter the palace, and the mourning family asked carefully before reasoning." After Wang Guifei finished speaking, she waved her hand slightly and motioned for the two to retreat.
Gao Yu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say: "The Queen Mother, the king, he relied on the golden mace to run rampant, and even humiliated the ...... of the ministers."
I didn't want Wu Zhi to be even more indignant, picked up the golden mace and walked out, Gao Yu was startled, and Wang Guifei was also busy saying: "Where is your king?" β
Wu Zhi stopped and turned his head and said lightly: "I'll go to meet the young lady of the Gao family and ask her why she is slandering my reputation outside!" β
Gao Yu was so angry with Wu Zhi that he couldn't estimate it, this is too bullying, isn't it enough to beat his own son and beat himself? Now you want to find your daughter-in-law's bad luck? Angry, at the same time, Gao Yu's heart also flickered, but now the king is not just excusing the princess, look at today's words and deeds, you want to deal with yourself?
"Gao Qing, stand down......" Wang Guifei waved her hand to Gao Yu, Gao Yu reluctantly withdrew, and walked quickly towards the palace gate with a thought in her heart.
Wang Guifei waved her hand and retreated, and the personal maid looked at Wu Zhi silently.
This is the first time since that embarrassing incident that Wu Zhi and Wang Guifei have faced it alone, and there was a sudden embarrassment in his heart. Coughed dryly: "The imperial sister-in-law left her brother behind, I don't know what happened?" β
"You want to bring down Gao Yu?" Wang Guifei asked in silence for a long time.
Unexpectedly, she said that she was so direct, Wu Zhi was slightly stunned for a moment, and he used to talk to himself, but it was simple to beat around the bush, and one thing always had to go around a circle of bosses.
"Are you absolutely sure?" Wang Guifei asked again.
Wu Zhi shook his head, how can there be nine out of ten things in the world?
"Then watch out for yourself, I won't be partial to you! And Mo disrupted the situation. β
Wu Zhi frowned when he heard this, who told you to be partial again? As long as you don't favor the high-ranking people, it's done.
"Go ahead, don't forget to summon Concubine Ye into the palace!" Wang Guifei ended the conversation, and Wu Zhi hadn't said a word about Yu from beginning to end. It's just that she nagged a few words herself.
Wu Zhifang wanted to walk out, and suddenly remembered the matter of Tao'er, at this time, there was no one left and right, and it was also the right time to talk to Wang Guifei, but after thinking about it, there are a lot of messy things now, let's talk about it in a few days. When he walked to the door of the hall and was about to leave the hall, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Guifei wiping her tears, Wu Zhi was stunned, and then thought about Wang Guifei's appearance when she first entered the hall and her appearance of asking for thinness. Wu Zhi stopped and pondered for a while, turned his head and walked back.
"Ah, why are you back again?" Wang Guifei was wiping her tears, and suddenly saw Wu Zhi turn around and hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"Why is the Queen Mother crying?" Wu Zhi can only slowly expand the evaluation question. You can't just open your mouth and say it. The Queen Mother is in my hands.
"Nothing!" Wang Guifei shook her head.
"If you have any worries, you might as well talk to your brother......" Wu Zhi walked up to Wang Guifei.
"You...... You...... What are you doing? When Wang Guifei saw Wu Zhi approaching mysteriously, her face suddenly turned red, and her dignity swept away, and she was a little flustered.
Wu Zhiwu didn't realize it. said in a low voice: "My brother knows the Queen Mother's heart, and he can also relieve the Queen Mother's worries!" β
Wang Guifei said "ah" and her face was flushed. But he said loudly: "You! β¦β¦ Go away! Don't you know shame? β
Wu Zhi was at a loss for a while, and the second monk suddenly came to his senses. Could it be that Wang Guifei thought of the crooked place, looked up and saw that she was only a few steps away from Wang Guifei at this time, Wang Guifei had already nervously stood up from the chair and gently took two steps back, her face was full of panic, how could she have the majesty of the mother of a country, at this time, she was like an ordinary family, there was no difference between the delicate and timid little women, the difference was that she was dressed gorgeously, and her timid appearance had a little more indescribable charm.
Wang Guifei just stood up from the chair, the long skirt was a little uneven, the skirt feet showed small embroidered shoes and beautiful ankles wrapped in fuchsia culottes, Wu Zhi involuntarily appeared in his mind, the old face of the moon ago was slightly red, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and explained: "The queen mother's brother said that it was a matter of peach. "There's no way, don't sell it, otherwise you'll really become a pervert in her eyes.
Wang Guifei was stunned and looked at Wu Zhi fiercely: "Peach? β
Wu Zhi nodded slightly: "A few days ago, Tao'er came to see her brother, and said some nonsense, and my brother locked her up in a fit of anger, how to deal with it, and asked the Queen Mother to make it clear." β
Listening to Wu Zhi say, "No three words, no four words", Wang Guifei naturally knew what it meant, Hongxia got up again, her face was even more delicate, and she was stunned for a while, and slowly sat back in her chair and said to Wu Zhi: "Is Tao'er okay?" His tone had returned to calm.
Wu Zhi said: "Naturally, there is nothing to do. β
"Then send her back to the palace, I think she is also confused for a while, and there will be no mistakes in the future." Wang Guifei said suspiciously: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" β
Wu Zhi smiled silently.
Wang Guifei hesitated and said, "Could it be that you want to ...... Do you want to ......"
Wu Zhi nodded: "Doesn't the Queen Mother think it's too dangerous to keep her by her side?" β
Wang Guifei shook her head and said, "Tao'er has always been very loyal to me, why did you change your mind?" β
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Don't scold Qiqiao at night, although she is so tempting, she is not a barbaric person......"
Wang Guifei's face sank: "Holding the golden mace given by the emperor and swaggering around, is this what the princess did?" I don't scold her? But it's your time to scold her! β
Wu Zhi smiled: "My brother has already been punished!" Thinking of the Qiqiao pants and beating the Qiqiao little ass last night, Wu Zhi smiled in his heart.
Wang Guifei said coldly: "You just let go of Tao'er for her?" Qiqiao can't be wronged at all? More than you and me, or is it? β
Wu Zhixin said what kind of logic is this? You want me to put the peach field. It's not that I want to let her go. However, letting go of Tao'er is naturally not for the sake of Qiqiao, but Wu Zhi has a brilliant idea, and Qiqiao is just a shield.
"That brother knows how to do it!" Wu Zhi said lightly.
Wang Guifei realized what she was talking about and hurriedly said, "Forget it, forget it, it's better for you to send Tao'er back quickly." β
Seeing that Wu Zhi was silent, Wang Guifei stayed for a while and couldn't help but say: "Mo spoils her too much, otherwise, she will cause trouble for you sooner or later." β
Wu Zhi smiled: "Brother thinks that the trouble caused by a woman is to be a man's responsibility!" β
Wang Guifei was stunned and looked at Wu Zhi for a long time, her eyes were complicated and difficult to understand. It took a long time before he sighed, "You're too confident!" β
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother has nothing to do, her brother will retire." After speaking, she turned around and walked outside, Wang Guifei looked at his broad back, her eyes gradually softened, and she muttered: "When a woman causes trouble, is it a man's responsibility?" "The gaze gradually tends to be lonely.
It has been more than two hours since Qiqiao entered the palace, and he has not yet turned around, Wu Zhi and a few girls are in Cuiyun Pavilion, and their thoughts do not belong, although how can he say that Wu Zhi has explained clearly, and Qiqiao is still very clever when he is clever. I wouldn't say the wrong thing when I thought about it, but thinking of her frizzy temper, everyone was still a little uneasy, especially Xuanjing's restlessness. As for the two heels of the seven tricks. Because it's a "family meeting." I am also not eligible to participate, only sullen in the back garden and other news.
A brisk footstep came, and Xuan Jing stood up and said, "Qiqiao is back......"
Before the words fell, the bead curtain sounded, and Qiqiao walked in angrily. She has always been in a hurry, and she is faster than reporting to the underground palace.
"Tangram, what's wrong with you?" Xuan Jing asked with concern.
Tangram snorted. Walk over to the table and pick up the teacup, regardless of whose tea it is. "Goo Dong Gu Dong" drank it, and after drinking, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve very indistinctly, and then suddenly exclaimed, looked at his sleeve and frowned: "I'm going to change clothes!" With that, he ran out.
Everyone laughed for a while, and it was a bit of a hassle to get a towel, but it was better than changing clothes.
When Qiqiao came back, she had already changed into a brand new lichen dress, a tender yellow jacket, tender yellow culottes, and tender yellow embroidered shoes, and the whole person was like a tender little yellow flower.
"How's the Tangram going?" Xuan Jing asked anxiously.
"Who knows, Sister Queen Mother is so annoying that she doesn't pay attention to me at all!" Qiqiao sat in Xuan Jing's arms.
"Ignore you?" The women looked at each other.
"Yes, he began to ask me what happened, and when I finished talking to the minister, he never said a word to me, but the wife of the loser said a lot of things, and gave her a lot of things, the queen mother's sister is too partial!" Tangram complained repeatedly. "You didn't even look at me when you left!"
The faces of the girls became solemn, and Jin Lian asked Wu Zhi worriedly: "Why is the Empress Dowager so cold to us?" β
Wu Zhi scratched his head and was a little confused.
Qiqiao's bright big eyes suddenly stared at Wu Zhi, looking Wu Zhi up and down, and for some reason, Wu Zhi suddenly felt weak.
"Xianggong, why do I think the Queen Mother looks weird when she looks at me?" Qiqiao suddenly asked Wu Zhi with a smile.
Wu Zhiqiang smiled: "How do I know? β
Qiqiao grinned and said, "I really don't know? β
Wu Zhi shook his head and got up and said, "Since it's okay, let's go enjoy the flowers." "Who knows that the women are worried and haven't moved.
Jin Lian asked suspiciously: "Is the Queen Mother at odds with our family?" She had vaguely heard the rumors, too.
Qiqiao snorted: "I'm afraid it's not discord, but a great harmony and beauty!" β
The girls were stunned, but they heard Qiqiao and muttered: "Could it be that the queen mother's sister also has a crush on Xianggong?" The girls sighed for a while, got up and beckoned Wu Zhi to go to the back garden, and then ignored Qiqiao, feeling that Qiqiao was getting more and more confused now.
