Just when Gao Shun was pleasantly surprised that Cai Yong agreed to teach at Alexandra University, the messenger sent by Ma Gui from Taoyuan Fort arrived in Luoyang.

The news brought made Gao Shun feel a burst of horror.

What did the emperor do when he took his mother to the capital? Will they be taken hostage?

Gao Shun asked eagerly, "When will you arrive in Luoyang?" ”

"Now that we have crossed the Yellow River, it is estimated that we will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow afternoon."

Gao Shun scolded: "Why didn't you come and inform me in advance? Why are you so slow? ”

"My lord, it's the mar boss who won't let us advance too long, for fear that the lord will worry; The angel who carried the decree said that he was inviting the old lady to come to the coronation ceremony of the lord, and had no other meaning. ”

Gao Shuncai will not be so simple, he will never believe it, just for the coronation ceremony, he sent people to take his mother all the way to the capital, His Majesty must have a bigger conspiracy.

Now I can only wait and see what happens, but I can't sit still, and immediately find Su Shuang and ask him to immediately carry a generous gift and go to see Zhang Rang and listen to the news.

Su Shuang didn't dare to slack off, loaded the carriage with fine wine, cotton cloth, gold and other gifts, and hurried to Zhang Rang's mansion.

Su Shuang has been here many times, and every time he gave a gift, Zhang Rang was very satisfied, Zhang Rang explained to his subordinates, Su Shuang came to visit, and he could not wait, which was already a great honor; You must know that there is a long queue of people waiting to see Zhang Rang every day, and some people have been waiting for many days but have not been able to meet Zhang Rang.

Presenting the gift list, Zhang Rang was very happy, he has always been very satisfied with the neatness and generosity of the champion Hou.

"Double greetings to Zhang Hou!"

"Ju Neng, why be so polite, please take a seat!"

Su Shuang said politely: "Thank you Zhang Hou!" The champion Hou has been in Beijing for a long time, and he does not dare to make friends with his ministers casually, for fear of causing His Majesty's dissatisfaction, so he can only stay in the wine shop every day; Today, Champion Hou sent his subordinates to thank Zhang Hou for his care and help for so long, so that Champion Hou was favored by His Majesty. ”

Zhang Rang was very happy and said with a smile: "Haha, thank you for the kindness of the champion Hou, as long as the champion Hou can think about His Majesty and the court, Your Majesty will not bury your military exploits." ”

"What Zhang Hou said is that the champion Hou has always been loyal to His Majesty, dedicated to doing errands, and never dares to slack off."

"Haha, that's fine."

Su Shuang asked embarrassedly: "Zhang Hou, this time, I want to ask Zhang Hou about something, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Seeing Su Shuang's appearance, according to the time estimate, Zhang Rang knew what he was going to ask, so he pretended to be generous and said: "Haha, the relationship between us has been a long time, and the future is long, why bother to be so twisted, let's talk directly." ”

"Thank you, Zhang Hou! Double wants to know, why did Your Majesty go all the way to bring the old lady into the capital? ”

Zhang Rang thought to himself, as expected, and said with a smile: "Haha, please ask the champion Hou when you go back, but rest assured, Your Majesty just wants to give the champion Hou a bigger surprise." ”

"What a surprise?"

"Oh, don't say it, you will know it then, it must be a good thing; His Majesty demanded strict secrecy. ”

Seeing Zhang Rang say this, Su Shuang let go of his nervousness and immediately returned to report to Gao Shun.

Zhang Rang can enter the palace and report the matter to His Majesty.

His Majesty was very satisfied with Gao Shun's attitude, and he entered Beijing for a month, and did not make friends with his ministers, which was very responsible.

Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that this move has scared the champion Hou a lot, thinking that Your Majesty will take action against him." ”

"Haha, this move is just a warning to him, if he is unwilling to accept the princess of Wannian, it will not be easy for me to clean him up?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the champion Hou has not moved, and it seems that his loyalty to His Majesty is very firm."

Liu Hong said: "That's good! What happened to the mansion for the champion? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have sent special people to keep an eye on it, report the progress every day, and they are well prepared, and the subordinates are checking and filling in the gaps, and strive to be perfect."

"Tomorrow morning, I will make a holy decree and give the mansion to the champion Hou, and when the old lady Gao arrives in the capital, she will move into the new mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"All subordinates must be carefully examined, and I don't want anything to go wrong."

Zhang Rang promised: "Yes, Your Majesty, all the employees are transferred from the palace, this is their honor, and there will never be any mistakes." ”

In the inner palace, Princess Wannian was excited, and the two imperial aunts were newly married, but the two emperors-in-law had no direct family members, and it was easy to get along after getting married, and the father gave her to the champion Hou, and there were mother-in-law and sister-in-law at home, how to get along? If it is too majestic, it will definitely displease the champion Hou, otherwise it will lose the royal dignity.

She is the age when love first blossoms, and she is not so thoughtful, she can give up everything for the little lover, as long as the lover is satisfied.

In her mind, giving marriage to the two imperial aunts is the most wise decision of her father in his life, and the two imperial sons-in-law are handsome and chic, mighty and majestic, and they are deeply liked by the two imperial aunts.

And giving her the marriage champion Hou is the one thing that her father cares about most in her life, the champion Hou's literary and martial arts are unmatched in the Han Dynasty, and more importantly, his voice and smile have always lingered in her heart.

Gao Shun did not relax his vigilance because of Zhang Rang's words, and arranged for Li Qiang to prepare for the secret of the capital.

At this time, Li Qiang was more relaxed than Gao Shun, and suggested to Gao Shun: "Lord, don't be nervous, if Your Majesty wants to harm the old lady, why bother to go all the way into the capital?" ”

"I'm afraid Your Majesty is holding my mother hostage."

Li Qiang comforted: "Even if the old lady becomes a hostage of His Majesty, now is not the time to fall out, and there is still room for maneuver in the matter." ”

Gao Shun said worriedly: "I hope so! ”

"Lord, Su Shuang said, Your Majesty just wants to give the lord a surprise, but I don't know what the surprise is for the time being, so there is no need to worry."

After spending the night in worry, Gao Shun didn't rest well, and his eyes were angry in the morning.

At the end of the day, Xiao Huangmen came to deliver the decree, and His Majesty gave Gao Shun a luxurious mansion in Guangbu and immediately received it.

Gao Shun and the others were even more puzzled, what did His Majesty do?

However, the luxurious mansion surprised Gao Shun very much, compared to Zhou Fei and Fang Liang's mansions, the area is larger, the decoration is more luxurious, the location and orientation are better, and even the servants have hundreds of people.

This made Gao Shun's heart even more uneasy, Your Majesty is such a stingy person, how could he ever be so generous about money? His Majesty must want a greater reward to pay for this, and it would be a waste and not in line with His Majesty's character to let his mother, who is a hostage, live here.

Li Qiang comforted: "Lord, if you come, you will be safe, wait and see what happens, and the mystery will definitely be revealed." ”

Su Shuang said cautiously: "Lord, Shuang guessed a possibility, but I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Gao Shun scolded angrily: "When has it been, and you are still so spitting?" Say! ”

"Yes, my lord; This is located in the inner city, not far from the mansions of the two emperors-in-law, and more luxurious, is it His Majesty's intention to give marriage? ”

Gao Shun shook his head and denied: "This is impossible, the royal family has no princesses to marry." ”

Su Shuang said: "My lord, there is also the princess of Wannian, if you marry this year, you can marry next year and after the marriage; Another possibility is to choose the daughters of princes of the right age from the clan, canonize them as princesses, and then marry the lord. ”

No matter what kind of situation Gao Shun is willing to see, nor is it something he can oppose, it is useless to think about it now, so he said: "Don't think about it, get ready to meet the old lady." ”

"Yes, my lord." Su Shuang and Li Qiang should go down.

Su Shuang arranged for the people in the house to start getting busy.
