Shi Jian walked into the room with a cold face, and Gao Shangzhi had been sitting and waiting for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Highness has finally returned." Seeing Shi Jian coming in, Gao Shang hurriedly got up and saluted.
"You came just in time, this king has something to discuss with you." Shi Jian was still expressionless, but there was a murderous intent hidden between his eyebrows.
The noble one saw that Shijian was different from the past, so he asked: "Your Highness usually goes to the palace to visit Concubine Zheng, and when she comes back, she is in a very good mood, but she went to the palace today, but her brows are tightly locked, and it seems that she has encountered something major that makes Her Highness unhappy." Isn't the mother in poor health? ”
"Humph! Liu Huan, this slut! It's too much of a deception! Shi Jian grabbed a teacup in his hand and slammed it on the ground, and the attendant at the door retreated in fright.
Gao Shangzhi stood still, turned and waved at the attendant, signaling him to go out.
The attendant hurriedly retreated to the door and gently closed the door.
Gao Shangzhi turned around and asked in a very calm tone: "This Liu Guifei has always favored the Sixth Palace, and there is no one in her eyes, is it bullying the mother this time?" ”
Shi Jian raised his head, looked at Gao Shangzhi, and asked, "How is the progress of the dead soldier I asked you to train secretly?" ”
"I've almost trained, Your Highness can go and see it another day!"
"Don't look at it, this king believes in your ability to do things, after you go back, you send a few of the best skills to quietly come to Ning Wangfu tonight to find this king."
The noble expression was startled, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately returned to calm, but his tone was a little solemn and asked Shi Jian: "Is it possible that Your Highness wants to send these dead soldiers to assassinate?" "Why not?"
Gao Shangzhi's expression was a little serious, and he said, "Of course not! His Royal Highness has endured humiliation and burdens for so many years, and it is not a simple matter to train this group of dead soldiers, His Royal Highness has spent so much energy on these dead soldiers, and now he actually wants these dead soldiers to go to the palace to assassinate a harem woman! ”
"The purpose of the existence of these people is to remove the stumbling blocks for this king! Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while! This king doesn't need you to educate him to do things! Shi Jian's tone was very decisive.
"The old minister will never agree to His Highness to do this!"
"Are you letting me watch my mother concubine let Liu Huan's slut be bullied in the palace from now on? Don't forget! If it hadn't been for my mother who saved your life, you would have died in the wilderness! You keep saying that you want to repay my mother for saving your life, and now she is being humiliated, but you make me pretend not to see it? You hypocrite! Shi Jian stood up and pointed at the noble one and scolded!
The noble righteous replied rhetorically: "The old minister wants to persuade His Majesty to be sober!" Don't be lost in anger! ”
Shi Jian's breathing was a little heavy, his lips were a little spurting, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of anger.
Gao Shangzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness has worked hard to manage the plan for so many years!" Don't cut yourself off because of impulse! ”
Shi Jian slowly sat back in his chair, did not speak, and slapped the table with his right hand.
Gao Shangzhi raised his head, some old tears, and bowed his hand to Shi Jian to advise: "Your Highness, you must be calm!" Mother's life-saving grace, I can't forget it! I am a noble man who knows how to repay his kindness! At this time, I don't agree with His Royal Highness sending this group of dead soldiers into the palace to assassinate, not because I don't care about the safety of Niangniang, but once we do this, not to mention whether we can successfully assassinate that Liu Guifei, just say that there are thousands of guards under Shi Yong, the commander of this guard, in the palace, not to mention assassinating a person in the palace, even if you walk around the palace, it is impossible not to be discovered! Even if they succeed, these dead soldiers sent will definitely go and never return! Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to bury these elites in the hands of a harem slut like Liu Huan? ”
"If you don't take revenge, this king's food is tasteless, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat!" Shi Jian looked at Gao Shangzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his hand slightly, and ordered, "Get up." ”
Gao Shangzhi slowly got up and stood in place.
Shi Jian was silent for a while, and then asked, "You came here today, what do you have to report to this king?" ”
Gao Shangzhi lowered his head and bowed to Shi Jian and asked, "Does Your Highness have to kill Liu Guifei?" ”
"This king has just said that this revenge will be avenged!" Shi Jian replied very decisively.
Gao Shangzhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Since His Highness is so resolute, the old minister can only agree with His Highness's decision." ”
"First of all, let's talk about the purpose of your coming to this king today, what's the latest news?"
"The news I just received may be a good thing for Your Highness!"
"Oh? What's the news? ”
"Concubine Liu Guifei left the palace after the sun and wanted to go to a Taoist temple on Wolong Mountain to pray for His Majesty."
When Shi Jian heard this, he immediately came to his senses, stood up with "Teng", walked in front of Gao Shangzhi, and asked, "Is this news reliable?" ”
"Absolutely reliable!" Noble answer.
"What a godsend, Liu Huan, you slut! There is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell, you want to break in! This king will tear you to pieces! Shi Jian clasped his hands tightly, and then said to Gao Shangzhi: "You send some people to intercept and kill Liu Huan, a slut, on her way to Qianshengguan." ”
"Your Highness, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate to intercept and kill halfway." Noble reminded.
Shi Jian turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" "Now just after the New Year's Pass, Wolong Mountain is only a few dozen miles away from Yecheng, and the fast horse can go back and forth in more than half an hour, and the patrol camp has people patrolling around Yecheng every day, Liu Huan is out of the palace, His Majesty can't send someone to accompany him, just one person rides back to Yecheng to report the news, and the people we sent out are likely to not only not be able to kill Liu Huan, but also may all fall into the hands of the patrol battalion, and then it will be a loss to the lady and the soldiers."
Shi Jian listened to the noble words, was silent, walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked, "Then in your opinion, how to plan?" ”
Gao Shang stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and replied: "According to the old minister's opinion, the best plan is to do it in the Taoist temple on Wolong Mountain. ”
"Is it possible that there will be no guards from the old sect in the Taoist temple at that time?"
Gao Shangzhi replied: "The Qiansheng concept of Wolong Mountain, I lived for a period of time in the early years, the Taoist temple is in Wolong Mountain, there is only one road to the bottom of the mountain, just send people to guard the only way down the mountain, no one can go to Yecheng to ventilate the news, and there are many people in the Taoist temple to ask for prayers, our people can mix in the people, will not be discovered." Having said that, as far as Shi Yong's straw bales are concerned, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of our dead soldiers. ”
Shi Jian nodded silently while listening to the noble words: "Master Gao is thoughtful and thoughtful. ”
Gao Shangzhi smiled bitterly: "It's just that in this way, our group of dead soldiers will attract the attention of the imperial court, originally they were the killer weapon of His Highness." ”
Shi Jian was silent after hearing Gao Shangzhi's words, how could he not understand the meaning of Gao Guizhi? He had secretly trained these people for years so that they could be used at critical moments, and they would not be used easily. But in Shi Jian's mind, he always thought about his mother being bullied by Liu Guifei.
Concubine Zheng has always lived in the Evergreen Palace because she is not favored, Shi Jian has not received much attention from Shi Hu since he was a child, and in his world, Concubine Zheng is all he has. Now his only mother is being bullied like this, and he can't swallow this breath no matter what.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally Shi Jian slowly spoke: "Lord Gao, you have followed this king for so many years, you should know that everything this king has done is not just for the throne. ”
Noble Zhi's cloudy eyes looked at Shi Zhan standing in front of him, and nodded silently for a long time.
Shi Jian walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked out of the window, and said: "My original intention in planning all this, in addition to getting the throne, is to let the concubine one day no longer suffer such grievances and no longer live in that small evergreen palace!" ”
Gao Shangzhi slowly opened his mouth and said, "What His Highness said, the old ministers understand!" ”
Shi Jian turned around, looked at Gao Shangzhi, and continued: "You haven't been to the Evergreen Palace in all these years, do you know what it's like there?" The palace gates of the Evergreen Palace are about to rot! The old thing never cares! He was so cruel to our mother and son! Why did you snatch my mother into the palace in the first place! Ruined my mother's life! ”
"Your Highness has made up your mind, the old minister doesn't need to say more, whether the great cause succeeds or fails, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven!" After Gao Shangzhi finished speaking, he sighed.
Shi Jian's mood was a little complicated, and noble words made him hesitate a little in his heart. Gao Shangzhi suddenly spoke: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, since Your Highness has made up your mind to do this, then you must do it cleanly, and if you hesitate, you will be struggling." ”
What Shi Jian saw from the noble eyes was clearly a determined expression. Shi Jian gritted his teeth, then faced Gao Shangzhi, took a step back, respectfully saluted the disciple of Gao Shangzhi, and said, "In this case, there is Master Lao Gao!" Now that we've taken this step, we're going to speed up all our plans! It's a lot of trouble for tall adults! ”
Gao Shangzhi replied with a half-salute, his face was solemn: "Seeking things is in the people, and the success is in the sky, and the old minister has known that he has taken a road of no return since he chose to serve His Royal Highness, and if he does not succeed, he will become benevolent." ”
"I thank Master Gao for my mother!"
Gao Shangzhi silently returned the salute, bowed his head and said, "Farewell to the official!" ”
After speaking, Gao Shangzhi walked out.
