Chapter 91: The Fish Leaps Through the Dragon Gate and Returns to Bliss (Part II)
Who knew that such a good mood would be so short-lived. The next morning, when the sky was still before dawn, I heard a faint noise in the courtyard in the drowsiness. There are heavy footsteps, and there are whispers, which makes Yue'e feel a little uneasy. So he hurriedly got up to see what was going on outside.
When I was about to go out, I suddenly heard someone coming outside the door. waved his hand to the slave maid, walked to the door and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Zuo Zhaoyi Yuan Mingyue's attendant Qian Xiang coming up. Yue'e's gaze looked beyond the canopy, and she actually saw the Wuwei general Yuan Bi with a team of sergeants in the courtyard, as if he was ready to go. This made Yue'e feel uneasy again. But after thinking about it, maybe Emperor Yuan Xiu and Empress Gao Changjun were coming today, so Yuan Bi was so nervous, afraid that something would go wrong if something went wrong.
"Zuo Zhaoyi ordered the slave maid to come and cooperate with the princess to pack up her things and go on the road immediately." She whispered to her as she approached Efer.
"On the road? Where to go? Yue'e was shocked. She was even more alarmed to realize that she might have been unable to help herself.
Qian Yu turned around and looked, came in with Yue'e, ordered the slaves and maids to go out together, and then turned around and closed the door, "The Lord ordered General Yuanbi to escort Zuo Zhaoyi and the princess to Tongguan immediately, and wait for the holy car to come in Tongguan." The hussar general and the horse commander Yuwentai have been ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Nanyang in Taixing to welcome the holy driver in Tongguan. When the princess and the holy driver set off for Chang'an together, they will be able to reunite with His Royal Highness the King of Nanyang and his wife. ”
"Nonsense. Is this the command of the Lord or the command of Zuo Zhaoyi? Ephesian was shocked and angry. In the husband's secret letter, it was clearly stated that the emperor must be prevented from going to Guanzhong. Even the emperor's eldest sister, the eldest princess, Yuan Yuying, also meant this. She had already clearly expressed this meaning in the secret letter to Yuan Mingyue.
But...... Yi Fu was frightened, did Yuan Mingyue really convey this meaning to Emperor Yuan Xiu?
"Is the princess in a hurry?" Qian Yu said coldly, "If it weren't for the Lord's decree, would General Yuanbi be willing to obey Zuo Zhaoyi's orders?" If it weren't for the Lord's will, would the queen be willing to fake pregnancy and help the Lord out of the palace? If the Lord did not have a clear will, how could the hussar general come to Tongguan? I'm afraid that even His Royal Highness the King of Nanyang and the eldest princess mean the same thing, right? Otherwise, how could the captain of the horse be able to get out of Chang'an? ”
Yue'e was dumbfounded by the question. At this time, the maid had already ordered the slave to come in and pack up her things.
To the south of Luoyang is the Longmen River Valley, and Qianxiang Temple is on the Longmen Mountain by the river. Looking down from the mountain gate of Qianxiang Temple in the middle of the mountainside, the river valley is open, and a river can not see the end, and the scenery is excellent.
At this moment, whether it was the newly promoted Taiyuan Duke who was in charge of the Holy Driver, Gao Yang, the regular attendant of the loose cavalry, or the Emperor Yuan Xiu, who had a lot of trouble in the center of the chariot along the way, he was not in the mood to enjoy this excellent scenery. The car stopped at the foot of the mountain, by the Yi River, Gao Yang looked up on the horse, and could already clearly see the golden and brilliant Buddha Pavilion Treasure Hall. This is the temple that his sister, Empress Gao Changjun, has been supporting for a long time. Due to the special identity of the donor, the provision is sufficient, and a noble atmosphere is gradually formed.
"Second son...... The second son ......" Gao Yang heard the voice of the call, obviously relieved, and slowly turned around from the horse to look, as if he was very careless.
It was General Gao Guiyan who came in a hurry with a team of sergeants.
"Who is it?" Emperor Yuan Xiu sat in the chariot for a long time, not knowing why he didn't leave again. And in his heart, Wang Sizheng, the general of the Chinese army who was supposed to wait for the holy car, and the Su Guards under his control were also nowhere to be seen.
"Why is Taiyuan Gong stagnant?" Yuan Xiu leaned out from inside the curtain and asked.
"Lord, don't be in a hurry." Gao Yang hurriedly said, the answer was not what he asked.
"Second son, the letter has been sent back to the house." Gao Guiyan finally galloped close to Gao Yang's side, the two horses were wrong, and Gao Guiyan whispered. While glancing at Yuan Xiu, the emperor who was looking at them who was not sure, he seized the opportunity and said, "Wang Sizheng has been tripped up." He thought for a moment and said, "I was ordered by the second prince to send a letter to Jinyang, and I am afraid that the prime minister is about to arrive in Luoyang." ”
Gao Yang listened to Gao Guiyan's words, and his mind turned quickly, planning.
Gao Guiyan looked at Gao Yang with a little flattery, and said with a smile, "Now it's time to call the second prince the Duke of Taiyuan and the regular attendant of the loose horse." ”
"You hurry up to greet the prime minister, and when you see your father, you should think about what you should say. Don't let my eldest brother see my father first. Gao Yang glanced at Gao Guiyan gloomily. Gao Guiyan hurriedly took the order and left.
Emperor Yuan Xiu saw Gao Guiyan coming in a hurry, and left in a hurry, but he didn't meet the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Xiu's heart immediately became worried. And I vaguely feel that Gao Yang seems to be different from before, far less respectful than when he was in the palace. He deeply regretted in his heart, this Taiyuan Duke, after all, is also the son of the great prime minister Gao Huan, and the younger brother of the prince Gao Cheng.
"Escort the saint into the Qianxiang Temple!" Gao Yang saw that Gao Guiyan had left, and immediately gave an order to the sergeant, but did not have a word of explanation to Emperor Yuan Xiu.
When he actually entered the Qianxiang Temple, Gao Yang ordered the temple gate to be sealed and no one was allowed to enter. The original novices in the temple were not allowed to come out of the hall of the Mahavira Treasure Hall. This moment it was like a great enemy.
Emperor Yuan Xiu was shocked in his heart, but fortunately he could still hold it on the surface, so he asked coldly, "What do you want, Duke Taiyuan?" Have you forgotten the Queen's command? ”
Gao Yang was unmoved, and only said lightly, "The minister puts His Majesty's safety first, and presumably Her Royal Highness the Queen will not blame the minister." He looked around and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to rest in the clean room, and you don't have to come out." As he spoke, he ordered someone to pull Yuan Xiu into the side room.
The soldiers in the temple were all Gao Yang's people, and the novices in the Daxiong Treasure Hall could not see the scene in front of them. Only Yuan Xiu said angrily, "You are really better than your father and brother." He stood upright and stared at Gao Yangdao, "Do you also want to learn from your father to kill the king?" ”
Yuan Xiu is the Son of Heaven after all, and his domineering spirit is full at this time. After all, Gao Yang is still young, and he has never seen such a scene, so he can't help but be timid. "Killing the king" sounds really shocking.
"Do you and other sergeants want to rebel against orphans?" Yuan Xiu turned around and glanced at the heavy sergeants surrounding him.
Gao Cheng really knew the seriousness of the problem. What he was thinking about now was to find Emperor Yuan Xiu. If the Son of Heaven of Great Wei disappears, how will he explain to his father who is far away in Jinyang? What kind of wicked man will he become in the hearts of the temple ministers? What kind of laughing stock is left? At this time, I was really anxious. To find the emperor, you must get out of the city as soon as possible and go to the Qianxiang Temple.
Almost stopped thinking, nothing else existed, there was only one thought, we must find Emperor Yuan Xiu as soon as possible and stabilize the Luoyang Dynasty.
just got out of the palace gate and got on the horse with Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu. Suddenly, an ox cart came, and it stopped Gao Cheng's horse that was rushing to the front.
"Who are you? Dare to rush into the world? Cui Jishu behind Gao Cheng shouted loudly and came up immediately.
Chen Yuankang followed behind Gao Cheng and remained silent. If it's really an idle person, how can you get close to the door? How dare you stop the waiter so rampage?
Sure enough, a little girl leaned out of the ox cart and shouted to Gao Cheng, "Big brother! ”
Gao Cheng just reined in the slightly frightened horse, listened to this call, took a closer look, and recognized it for a long time, it was actually his sister Gao Yuanjun. It's so strange, what does she mean by going straight to the gate to stop him? Looks like they came to him on a special trip?
"What's the matter with you?" Gao Cheng was anxious to go to Qianxiang Temple, but he didn't get off the horse, and asked Gao Yuanjun loudly.
Who knew that Gao Yuanjun didn't answer, just got off the ox cart and walked towards Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng had to dismount. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang also dismounted, watching the little girl walk deftly and lightly.
"Big brother, I have something very important." Gao Yuanjun frowned, walked up and pulled Gao Cheng, signaling him to lower his head.
Gao Cheng had to lean over. Gao Yuanjun tried to tiptoe, hugged Gao Cheng's neck and whispered in his ear, "If the eldest brother doesn't go back immediately, the eldest sister-in-law may be worried about her life." ”
Gao Cheng's heart shook suddenly, and he looked up at Gao Yuanjun in disbelief and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Gao Yuanjun looked up at Gao Cheng without blinking, and said seriously, "The eldest sister-in-law didn't go to greet my mother today, I went to visit the eldest sister-in-law." It is very strange that His Highness has not eaten for several days, and this morning he has been sitting under the window with a dagger and watching......"
Without waiting for Gao Yuanjun to finish speaking, Gao Cheng had already turned around and got on the horse. By the time Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang reacted, Gao Cheng had already ridden out without a trace. There was not even a word of instruction, and such an important matter was forgotten.
Gao Yuanjun looked at Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang, didn't speak, and got into the car and left.
Cui Jishu looked at Chen Yuankang at a loss, and then looked at the direction where Gao Cheng disappeared in the distance, and muttered, "Shizi...... Alas...... The ...... of the Prince"
Chen Yuankang thought for a while, beat his horse and whipped up, "Let's go, go to Qianxiang Temple." ”
The Bohai Palace's palace is extremely quiet, especially where the princess Feng Yi, Princess Yuan Zhonghua, lives.
There was only one person in the courtyard. She stood in the shade of the trees outside the side room, thinking about the things that had come her way for days, and from time to time she looked at the closed door. Since the prince fainted that day, the princess moved here and never returned. She subconsciously turned around and glanced at another room opposite, where Yuan Yuyi, the dancing concubine of General Sun Teng's family, now lived. The door is also closed.
Suddenly, I heard a noise outside. The sound became louder and louder, and the slaves and maids in this courtyard were also called out by the voice. Ah Jiao just wanted to go out to see what was going on, but before she could reach the gate of the courtyard, the courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open from the outside. I saw the prince Gao Cheng rushing in.
Gao Cheng went straight to the main room with no one in his eyes. Suddenly, he heard Ah Jiao behind him calling him loudly, "Shizi! ”
Gao Cheng seemed to remember something, turned around and swept to both sides, then went straight to the house where Yuan Zhonghua lived, and kicked in the door directly.
Yuan Zhonghua was originally sitting under the window. Hearing such a loud voice, he turned around and looked, and actually saw Gao Cheng breaking in.
Gao Cheng saw Yuan Zhonghua sitting in front of the window with his hair draped, and he was holding a dagger in his hand. Immediately strode forward, subconsciously and vigorously grasped Yuan Zhonghua's wrist holding the dagger, and asked anxiously and hatefully, "What are you doing here?" Am I really going to make you worse off than dead? ”
Yuan Zhonghua got up and struggled. Gao Cheng has a lot of strength, how can he break free. The dagger fell off and fell to the ground with a loud bang. "Husband......" Yuan Zhonghua broke free to no avail, trying to explain something, but he didn't seem to know where to start, and he stopped talking. I couldn't break free, and it was inconvenient to explain, so I slowly quieted down. She couldn't beat him anyway.
At this time, Gao Cheng also quieted down. He seemed reluctant to let go of her hand.
Yuan Zhonghua bowed his head and wept. After a long time, Fang whispered, "It is better to serve the Buddha with six pure roots." ”
Gao Cheng noticed that there were locks of thick and long hair on the cases next to her. It seems that she is really ruthless, which shows the firmness of her will.
Gao Cheng suddenly felt extremely frightened. He desperately pulled Yuan Zhonghua into his arms, for fear that she would disappear. While muttering in her ear, "It's all the fault of the lower officials, don't blame Your Highness." His Royal Highness wants to take refuge and serve the Buddha, this is really a delusion, and it should be put aside quickly. ”
He used so much force that Yuan Zhonghua was almost suffocated. But I couldn't imagine that the willful and domineering prince would be willing to say such a thing. Yuan Zhonghua also choked up and said, "It's because I'm rigid and not soft, and I can't follow the will of the son." There was a grievance in her tone that couldn't be hidden.
"I left everything today behind and changed my mind." Gao Cheng whispered into her ear. He already felt that the general trend was gone, but he hid this ominous premonition deep in his heart, and he only wanted to hold on to what he could not lose in front of him.
