Chapter 22: Sudden News (1)

Taibao Sun Teng hurriedly entered the gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today is the day of the big banquet in the palace, the Son of Heaven, the clan, the internal and external ministers, even the son of Rouran is there, Sun Teng is a high-ranking official, a noble in the capital, he wants to enter the palace, of course, no one dares to stop him.

Sun Teng's purpose was not to feast and drink, and he was not to meet Emperor Yuan Shanjian. Sun Teng was King Gao's most confidant, and he almost never took Yuan Shanjian as the emperor in his eyes.

The ministers who entered the palace for the banquet today were either numb and tired, or their faces were full of relaxation and joy. Only Taibao Sun Teng was in a hurry, full of searching. Almost all of them were out of his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to them, because none of them were the ones he was looking for.

"Sun Longque!" When Sun Teng was in a hot sweat, he suddenly heard an unscrupulous shout from someone behind him.

When Sun Teng heard this, his heart suddenly settled down, and his world immediately became quiet and peaceful. At this time, what he needs most is such foreign aid.

"Sima Gong!" Sun Teng turned around, his face was full of smiles, and he put aside all the anxiety just now. He was still laughing at himself in his heart, how confused, he didn't think of this person.

Sun Teng and Sima Ziru are not friends who know each other, not to mention being ministers in the same palace, and more importantly, they are both confidants of King Gao, and they are the confidants of the most confidants. And this point is even more important at this time, which makes Sun Teng have a temporary sense of closeness to Sima Ziru in his heart.

Sun Teng immediately remembered in his heart that in the old residence in Luoyang, as soon as the affair between the prince and Zheng Ji came out, King Gao was furious, and Mrs. Lou immediately pulled Sima Ziru as foreign aid, and Sima Ziru's attitude at that time was the biggest expectation in Sun Teng's heart at this moment.

Ignoring the cold of spring, Sun Teng grabbed Sima Ziru and hid in the bushes that had not yet occurred in early spring, and saw that there was a palace courtyard not far away, standing alone, very unobtrusive, Sun Teng didn't care about thinking about it anymore, and pulled Sima Ziru and walked over.

The garden is empty, and the endless pavilions and palaces are all perennial no one visits, and they are scattered among the mountains and rivers. This Akishin Palace, which is not far from the pickaxe pond, has also been empty for many years. Qiuxin Palace was originally the furnishing place where Emperor Wei stored the jade ritual vessels used to worship the heavens; Later, the princess Xiao of Liyang in Nanliang lived here for a period of time.

Because the little lady of the Yang clan who accompanied the princess killed two palace maids here, Qiuxin Palace later became an ominous place and gradually became deserted.

Pushing the door in, the barren grass and dust in the courtyard are like two worlds with the bustle in the Zhaotai Hall far away outside.

"The dragon sparrow has just returned to Ye City? Have you ever seen the General? How is King Gao's injury? There was no one here, so Sima Ziru stopped going around the bend and asked bluntly. He saw the chaos in Yecheng in his eyes, and he was even more worried about the situation in Jinyang.

"I was about to ask Sima Gong, why didn't I see the prince enter the palace today? There are really 100,000 urgent things to tell the son of the world. Sun Teng's impatience came up again. At this critical moment, he knew that he couldn't make a mistake, and he didn't dare to fake it.

"Dare to ask the dragon sparrow, what is the urgency of 100,000?" Sima Ziru's heart was already shaken, and he was also secretly prepared.

Sun Teng looked at Sima Ziru's sharp and cold eyes, and said with a deep groan, "King Gao's life and death are only in front of me, and I am ordered to tell the prince secretly, I don't have to go back to Jinyang, don't pay attention to the Son of Heaven and the King of Jibei." The king of the Bafu has also given me all the things, and I have left my henchmen in the Jinyang Bafu, and then there will be news to Yecheng immediately. King Gao also said that Hou Jing was not credible, and if he could be tempted, he would use it for the time being. And he is not allowed to return to Yuzhou at this time, so as not to cause trouble. He also said that Rouran was strong for a while, and it was maintained, so that the prince could do it himself. ”

These things are not next to each other, and these words also have their own profound meanings, and it is also a fact that only people like Sun Teng who have heard his words can get better. Moreover, Sun Teng is Gao Huan's confidant, and he can understand the meaning of these words more deeply, so as not to think crookedly and misunderstand what is going on. It seems that Sun Teng really wants to say it to Gao Cheng himself.

"It's so urgent, why didn't Sun Gong go to see Shizi first when he returned to Yecheng? Let's go see Taiyuan Gong first? Sima Ziru's heart was already in turmoil, but on the surface, he was unpretentious, and asked again. I heard that Sun Gong had surrendered to the Duke of Taiyuan, and was willing to serve his life, and also told the King of Taiyuan Gong Gao that he had already died. Which of Sun Gong's words is telling the truth? ”

In the Jiaofang Palace, although there are glass windows, the hall is warm and bright, but the Taiyuan Duke Gao Yang and the Empress Gao Yuanjun, who are talking in the hall, are in the opposite mood.

Duchess Li Zu'e of Taiyuan sat a little farther away, she looked at the brother and sister in front of her talking, she didn't want to come in.

Gao Yang had already ordered the palace maid to go out of the city to invite Mrs. Lou into the palace to accompany the pregnant queen. But surprisingly, this reason did not impress Mrs. Lou, who did not return to Yecheng, which expressed her attitude of refusing to enter the palace.

"So, what Sun Teng said is true? Don't...... Father has really ......" Gao Yuanjun was almost pale. She couldn't say those words, she didn't believe it, but she had to believe it. Of course, she also knew that Taibao Sun Teng was a close confidant of her father King Gao.

But there are many doubts.

How can only the second brother Gao Yang know such a major news? Why doesn't the eldest brother Gao Cheng know? Does the eldest brother really not know, or does he refuse to say that he wants to block the news? In this way, maybe the eldest brother is not completely reliable, did she show favor too early before?

Inadvertently saw the gloomy eyes of the second brother Gao Yang, Gao Yuanjun felt that it was the second brother who was even more unreliable, he did not go to the Zhaotai Palace, and specially brought his wife to the Jiaofang Palace, and told her these things on the grounds of visiting her, so what was his intention?

The prince of Rouran was in a hurry to return to the royal court, and the princess of Bohai, Yu Jiulu, did not return to Jinyang, which made Gao Yuanjun feel that the news of the second brother was fake, and his father was not dead.

Why did her mother, Mrs. Lou, refuse to enter the palace? The second brother Gao Yang had her acquiescence to invite his mother into the palace in the name of Jiaofang Palace.

Today's banquet in the palace, I heard that the eldest brother Gao Cheng did not enter the palace, where did the eldest brother go? What is so important that he even abandons the emperor's summons and cares about one or the other?

On the Zhaotai Palace, Hou Jing was satisfied, and he was even a little fluttering. Maybe in the Great Wei, in addition to the Gao family, there can also be another powerful minister, isn't the rise and fall of honor and disgrace between changes?

Emperor Yuan Shan saw that there was a "Hou Gong" and another "Hou Gong" on the left, and he was eager to immediately introduce Hou Jing as a confidant and take what he could use.

Only the courtiers in the hall were still immersed in the light song and dance of drunken dreams and death, and no one knew what the emperor and the prince of Puyang said. It's all about them, and what difference does it make to them who is the ruler?

Hou Jing was impassioned at this time, knelt down and bowed, willing to lead troops for the Son of Heaven to conscript, and immediately went to Pingyang, Sizhou to destroy the Jianwei general Lan Jing and the southern army he led, in order to repay the favor of the Son of Heaven and grow up Wei Zhiqi. As for what kind of grace this "Son of Heaven" is, only he knows.

Anyway, Hou Jing had his own intentions to ask for orders.

Outside the Zhaotai Palace, Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, saw the queen and the first sister and brother of the great general, Taiyuan Gong, all silent, and silently entered the hall like a mourner, and his heart became even more anxious. I don't know what the Duke of Taiyuan said to the queen.

Among the courtiers who entered the palace today, there were no henchmen of the Duke of Taiyuan. Taiyuan Gong originally said that he couldn't get sick, why did he suddenly go to Jiaofang Hall today?

Cui Jishu was thinking about Gao Cheng in Lin Quanshe. I don't know what is the big thing about Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, how can the general believe him? Gao Cheng hasn't come to this hour yet.

Empress Gao Yuanjun and Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang did not enter from the main gate of the main hall, they had no intention of feasting at this time, and they didn't want to show up at all. I just wanted to see the scene inside the Zhaotai Palace. After all, at this time, for the Gao family, any wind and grass is enough to set off waves that can be overturned if they are not careful.

Gao Yuanjun and Gao Yang can reach a tacit understanding without words at this time. Lying in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to move is probably the best way. As for the Zhaotai Palace, in full view of everyone, there is naturally their eldest brother and general Gao Cheng to deal with it.

Cui Jishu outside the hall couldn't wait. He felt that he should let people listen to why Gao Cheng hadn't come yet.

However, before Cui Jishu could pass his life, he saw a Rouran slave running towards him. He knew that this was the man of the world's son, Bald Tujia. I have a headache, and I hope that this shrewd and honest son of Rouran will never make trouble for the general at this time.

The Rouran servant said and gestured to Cui Jishu. Chinese is not good, mixed with Rouran, and it doesn't matter if Cui Jishu can understand it or not.

Fortunately, Cui Jishu understands some Xianbei language, and he can understand Rouran language halfway. But when he understood what the slave meant, he was utterly astonished. What he said was: Shizi said that the general surnamed Hou wanted to be unfavorable to Xiao Langjun, and he talked a lot in private with the Son of Heaven. Why hasn't Xiao Langjun come yet? Let Cui Shilang quickly order someone to find Xiao Langjun and tell him to be careful.

Cui Jishu felt a chill all over his body at this time. He was still negligent and focused his attention on the Duke and Empress Taiyuan of Jiaofang Palace. The result is good, the Jiaofang Hall is nothing, but the Zhaotai Hall let Hou Jing take advantage of the situation. I can't think about it, if Hou Jing and the Son of Heaven, as well as the King of Jibei and others are in the same breath, how much of a threat will it be to the general?

Thinking of this, Cui Jishu, who originally felt that the spring was cold and biting, suddenly sweated on his body. He didn't care about calling people, so he pulled out his feet and left. I don't even know for a moment where I'm going and what I'm going to do. All he knew was that he couldn't wait any longer.

Wu Xing Taishou and Xinwu General Chen Qian were the first time to the Northern Dynasty, the first time they came to Yecheng, and the first time they entered the Wei Palace.

He came by car all the way, not on horseback. Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, did not come with him, the reason is very simple, Wei Tianzi did not summon the prince of Liang to the palace for a banquet. With Xiao Yi's personality, he was not willing to let others make fun of him in the uproar of the Great Wei courtiers. What's more, his identity is just an ordinary prince of the Southern Dynasty, and he is just a proton.

Chen Qian got out of the car at the gate. He had already changed his outfit, undressed and discarded his sword, and changed his clothes and crown. He stood in the gate and looked up into the distance, feeling that the palace room of the Northern Dynasty always had a particularly desolate and far-reaching feeling because of the north. It's not like Jiankang's Liang Palace, facing the old road of the Yangtze River, stretching for dozens of miles, and there is a kind of soft and charming style in the dignified.

Liu Taozhi, the cangtou slave who followed Gao Cheng, paid special attention to this Southern Dynasty general. Seeing him standing under His Majesty with a calm and calm appearance, I also felt that his bearing was extraordinary. This Wu Xing is too guarded and Xinwu general, and it is not a big official position, but it is rare that he will see the face of heaven without panic. is even a little more stable than Xiao Zhengde, the eldest prince of Linhe County of the Southern Dynasty, without his frivolity.

Without saying anything all the way, Chen Qian followed Gao Cheng through the Wei Palace.

The palace in front of me has changed from grand, solemn, and powerful to gradually sparse and interesting, and I can't imagine that the Wei Palace is also full of beauty. Coupled with the prosperity of Yecheng that he saw all the way when he came, Chen Qian paid more attention to and respected this ruling minister.

As soon as you enter the garden, you can see the color of lakes and mountains, the grass and trees are wild, and the mountains and rivers in the garden are very different from the inner and outer courts just now. Chen Qian looked left and right, but Gao Cheng was familiar with the road and went all the way to the pickaxe pond. However, when I saw the pickaxe pond in the distance, I suddenly heard an anxious call coming.

"Lord Lang! Lord Lang! It's not a good thing ......" It was Cui Jishu's fat body rushing from the direction of Qiuxin Palace, followed by two little slaves, all of whom were transferred from the grass and trees.

Gao Cheng was surprised, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. When he looked up at the Akishin Palace in the gap between the tall trees, he stopped.

Cui Jishu did come out of Qiuxin Palace.

He was originally going to look for Gao Cheng, but he was stopped by Taiwei Sima Ziru's people first, and found an excuse to lead him to Qiuxin Palace.

Sima Zi was afraid that Sun Teng would make a big fuss and ask the general everywhere in the palace, which would make people suspicious. So it would be more appropriate to send a message to Cui Jishu first, and then let Cui Jishu find Gao Cheng. Because Cui Jishu is Gao Cheng's confidant and close friend, no matter how much fanfare he goes to the general, no matter how much fanfare he has, no one will suspect it.

Cui Jishu walked out of Qiuxin Palace almost with a pale face. He never imagined that a great change was just around the corner.

Seeing that Cui Jishu was panicked, his clothes were messy, and he didn't look like he was out of shape, Gao Cheng knew that he had always been unable to hold his breath, but he didn't take it too seriously. I'm just afraid that he doesn't know the severity and says something in front of Chen Qian. So while Cui Jishu's breath was not even, he preemptively asked, "Where is the Son of Heaven?" The southern envoy came to pay homage to the Son of Heaven. ”

Where is the emperor, this is knowingly asked. But Cui Jishu immediately reflected, and he glanced at Chen Qian. I didn't pay attention to it just now, I only noticed Gao Cheng, and I was excited when I saw each other at first glance. At this time, he evened his breath, dressed up, and said with a smile, "General Chen Zihua, I haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Chen Qian always felt that Cui Jishu was smiling reluctantly, and he was more concerned about what he was doing just now.

Cui Jishu was smarter, and smiled at Gao Cheng, "It's good that the general is here." The Lord feasted and drank, and the palace celebrated. Sima Taiwei drank too much, and when he came out to change clothes, he fell down carelessly, and moved into the Qiuxin Palace nearby. Sima Taiwei is a person who is important to King Gao, although King Gao is not in Yecheng, the minister is Huang Shilang If he doesn't take care of Sima Taiwei, how to explain to King Gao. I was anxious for a while, and I was in a hurry when I saw Lord Lang just now. He smiled at Chen Qian again, "Let General Zihua laugh." ”

Chen Qian said a few words, but he couldn't get rid of great doubts in his heart. What kind of Sima Taiwei is this, because he is a high king, he will not make this Cui Shilang so shocked if he falls. What is it?

Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng with blank eyes. (To be continued.) )
