Chapter 59: The Poison of Killing

It turned out to be this idea.

Gao Cheng stared at Xiao Qiongju, his green eyes full of disbelief.

Xiao Qiongju didn't know what he meant when he looked at him, but it was not good to talk about it further.

"Isn't the King of Bohai unwilling?" Seeing that Gao Cheng wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Qiongju still couldn't help asking. At least she wanted to know what was going on in his heart.

Gao Cheng suddenly turned his face to the side, refusing to look at Princess Liyang again, as if he was very emotional. The princess is so affectionate to Zihui, and Zihui is grateful. It's just ......" His voice was low and hoarse, and he was a little choked, making one wonder if he had heard it wrong. "It's just that now that the national strength of Wei is weak, and I have just succeeded to the throne, I am afraid that the princess does not know that there are many difficulties, and it is not as high and powerful as people say. The princess is so far-sighted that she can see the danger of Hou Jing, but ordinary men are not as good as princesses. It is indeed beneficial for Liang Guo to get rid of the trouble as soon as possible. If the princess wants to get rid of this person, Zihui is willing to help. It's just that I'm afraid I will have to borrow a lot from the princess. ”

Gao Cheng turned his head at this time, and there were tears flashing between his sincere words, which made people look unmoved.

Xiao Qiongju was relieved. As long as he says yes.

The two agreed, Xiao Qiongju relaxed and said goodbye immediately. Although she is reluctant in her heart, after all, the big things in front of her make her more worried.

Yang Shunhua naturally followed the princess. She wasn't close just now, and she didn't know what Gao Cheng and Xiao Qiongju said, but seeing that the princess's expression was not as heavy as before, she couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng unconsciously.

Gao Cheng was casual.

Only then did the sheep and the bird lead the horse up.

Gao Cheng didn't expect to see the sheep here, which made him happier.

He also took the initiative to meet the sheep and said with a smile, "Brother Zipeng, I haven't seen you for a few years, Zihui is very worried." I don't want to be able to see my brother outside the city. ”

Yang Ju glanced at the princess who got on the horse and followed his sister, and said, "Thank you King Bohai for your concern, I really don't dare to be an official." However, the princess was quite worried about Hou Jing's affairs, and was anxious to see the king of Bohai, presumably because the king and the princess had the same thoughts, so the princess was so happy. Xia Guan is Liang Chen, if the king can work with the princess to get rid of Hou Jing, Xia Guan will deeply feel the kindness of the King of Bohai to Da Liang. ”

Gao Cheng glanced at Xiao Qiongju and Yang Shunhua who were far away, and said with a smile, "Brother Zipeng is really a loyal minister, but I don't know if Lord Liang will cherish it." Zihui has a word, Zipeng might as well think about it. Loyal ministers must also have a clear master, and Brother Zipeng must not be like a father, and he is not a person. If my brother is willing to Shiwei, I will not be slow. ”

Yang Yu smiled, "The King of Bohai is kind, which really flatters the Yan. It's just that the king of the family also knows very well, how can I be allowed to do this. Although he has admired the king for a long time, he only sighs that he has no chance to follow. ”

Gao Cheng smiled, "Not necessarily, maybe fate hasn't arrived yet." ”

The sheep and the bird also took their leave.

Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu returned to Changshe City together. On the way, I talked about what I just said.

Cui Jishu asked, "The king really wants to work with the princess to get rid of Hou Jing?" ”

Entering Changshe City, the sun has been slanting, and Gao Cheng walks slowly. "Of course, it's good to be able to get rid of this scourge, but I'm afraid this is Xiao Shi's wishful thinking. Lord Liang and the crown prince have already wholeheartedly accepted Hou Jing, and Xiao Zhengde came to greet him in person, who would listen to Xiao's words at this time and deliberately oppose the emperor and the prince to deal with Hou Jing? Even if Yang Ju has the heart to remove Hou Jing, but the so-called loyalty of the Yang clan is nothing more than obedience, how dare he betray his master and father and make his own opinions? And that Lan Jing, who is scheming deeper than Yang Yan, can he ignore the prince's orders and listen to Xiao's words? ”

Cui Jishu nodded frequently, "Does the king want Hou Jing to make a feud before he enters the Liang?" ”

Outside the official office, Gao Cheng dismounted.

Cui Jishu followed and walked inside.

Gao Cheng entered the gate and went straight to the hall. I went into the house and sat down, feeling a little tired.

Cui Jishu also sat in front of him. At this time, he didn't understand Gao Cheng's thoughts.

"Why did the king agree to work with the princess to eradicate Hou Jing?" Cui Jishu leaned over from the seat he was kneeling on and looked at Gao Cheng.

The slaves and maids in the house all went out, and there were only two people, Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu. The lights are not as bright as the sun outside.

Gao Cheng turned his head away and stared at the map beside him, and said as if talking to himself, "It's good to be able to eradicate Hou Jing with the power of the Xiao Clan, but if you can't...... Shu Zhenger knew that there was already a lot of crisis in the Liang State Sect, and if Hou Jing was added, it would be even more chaotic. With so much internal friction, how can the Liang State survive for a long time? Isn't it my chance for Great Wei to dominate the world? ”

Cui Jishu was completely stunned. It turned out that Gao Cheng was actually using Princess Liyang. And he's already planned so deeply. Not only did he want to clean up Hou Jing out of Wei, but he also wanted to use Hou Jing to mess up Liang. It's just that he didn't expect him to involve Princess Liyang as well.

"The king......" Cui Jishu even felt that Gao Cheng was a little strange. The king was thoughtful...... "He didn't know what to say for a while.

Gao Cheng looked back at him. "Shuzheng, you would never say such things to me. You don't have to hide it, I have no choice but to take advantage of her. ”

There was also a hint of helplessness in Gao Cheng's tone.

"The king's situation is best understood." Cui Jishu also sighed.

Yecheng.

It's just the time of spring. It seems that I don't know what the scene of Changshe City thousands of miles away is, and I feel that the whole Yecheng is quiet and beautiful.

From a distance, Fushan Mountain has a verdant color, and when I get closer, I can see that the trees made of new blue makeup are full of spring vitality.

As you climb up the man-made stone steps, you can see small grottoes carved out of the rock wall as the ramp steepens.

Further down, up the mountainside, higher and steeper. When you look into the distance, you can see Yecheng in the distance. It's not because it's close, it's because it's high and you can see far.

Large areas of flat land are especially rare on the mountain, and this is a place for people to rest outside the gate of the cave temple.

Yang Su was waiting outside the mountain gate of the cave temple at this time. Looking far away, the four fields are green, far away from the red dust, and you can get the news of Yecheng from time to time. Yang Su secretly praised in his heart that the place chosen by the princess Lou is really a good place.

The mountain gate of the cave temple opened, and Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang came out of it alone. A girl came out behind him, but she didn't go out of the mountain gate, only showing her face in the half-open and half-hidden gap. It's amazing enough to make people feel familiar.

Yang Su thought about it before remembering that it was Zheng Dache, the concubine of King Gao Huan. Zheng Dache has been living with the princess Lou in a cave temple outside the city.

Zheng is a smart man.

Gao Yangtou didn't reply, his face was unhappy. He almost never writes his thoughts directly on his face like that.

Yang Su greeted him.

The mountain gate has long been closed.

Gao Yang walked straight to the stone stairs in front of him and hiked down the mountain.

Yang Su followed.

Halfway down the mountain, Gao Yang stopped. There is no one on the stone staircase, this is the depths of the mountain.

"Didn't the lord see the princess?" Yang Su looked at Gao Yang's expression and asked.

Gao Yang overlooked the verdant color of the mountains, but he didn't look at Yang Su, he would never be like this. Yang Su also felt that he was abnormal. He saw in his eyes the sadness he had never seen before, and he was extremely moved.

"Changshi is right." Gao Yang finally turned his head. "The princess refuses to see me, and in her heart, I still can't compare to the eldest brother."

Gao Yang suddenly turned around and strode away, and when he walked under the mountain rock, he had already drawn a dagger from his waist and stabbed it fiercely at a big tree in the sky. Then, as if crazy, he kept stabbing the trunk. Then he turned his anger to the nearby rock wall and the Buddhist shrine carved into the rock wall......

Others have gone completely insane. The trunk of the almost hugging tree was covered with knife marks and deep holes, and the ground was full of scattered bark, sawdust, branches and leaves...... The rock wall next to it was hard with only shallow scratches, but the beautifully carved Buddhist shrine had been destroyed by his brute force.

"Lord!" Yang Yu screamed and pounced.

He originally wanted to let him vent for a moment, and it would be good to think about it when he got angry. But I didn't expect him to get worse and worse the more he attacked.

Yang Yu is a devout believer, and he was already shocked when he saw that Gao Yang was not even afraid of gods and Buddhas, and he started destroying the Buddha shrine.

"Taiyuan Gong, stop!" Yang Yu shouted.

Just as he exclaimed, a Buddha statue in the Buddha shrine had been beheaded by Gao Yang.

With a "bang", the Buddha's head fell to the ground and rolled out far away.

Gao Yang relieved his hatred at this time, turned around, his body was weak, he was panting against the rock wall, and he glanced at the Buddha's head that was also staring at him like looking at rotten wood and rotten stones.

The Buddha's head was smiling, and his originally peaceful and kind eyes were clearly full of mockery at this time.

Yang Su was stunned, looked at Gao Yang, and then looked at the Buddha's head. He almost broke down.

Suddenly, Gao Yang stood up straight, and he stared at the Buddha's head and shouted, "Big brother! Step by step, he walked towards the Buddha's head.

"My lord, don't!" Yang Su immediately understood his intentions, and rushed over and hugged Gao Yang.

Gao Yang reached out and grabbed Yang Su's collar from the back of his neck. He pushed too hard, and Yang Su's body was pulled backwards. Gao Yang grabbed his collar hard and approached step by step.

Yang Su didn't have any control, because he was almost suffocated to death. Gao Yang suddenly let go and pushed him hard. Yang Su fell backwards against the rock wall behind him. Gao Yang grabbed his neck, and it was with force that Yang Su's head was pressed against the rock wall. The back of his head was a continuous series of sharp protrusions, and Yang Su felt that those sharp protrusions caused a huge pain in the back of his head, as if they had pierced into his skull.

The dagger in Gao Yang's other hand slowly pressed against his neck at this time, cold, with a sharp pain, and then itching.

"Long History...... Why teach me ......" Gao Yang lowered his head and stared at Yang Su.

His face was bruised and hideous.

Yang Su couldn't catch his breath, and his face turned purple. He twisted his neck desperately, and finally spat out two words. "Lord ......"

Gao Yang let go of his hand slightly. "Yang Changshi, the eldest brother regards me as a house slave, and the eldest princess regards me as an enemy, and now even the princess doesn't treat me as a son. She only commanded the word to be spoken, and if I had any superiority over my father and brother, she would see me. Otherwise, we don't have to see each other again. How can I be better than my father and brother? ”

Yang Su gasped for breath one after another, and finally resumed his breath. His voice trembled and said, "The words of the princess are very clear, King Xianwu and the current high king are just princes, and if the lord wants to be one step better, he must establish himself as the emperor." ”

"Yang Changshi, is this your idea?" Gao Yang didn't let go, and he didn't take the dagger away, still staring at Yang Su. Yang Su's answer seemed to him to be both satisfied and dissatisfied.

"The minister regards the Duke of Taiyuan as the lord of the lord, and it has never changed, and the Duke of Taiyuan should not treat the minister like this." Yang Yu also said angrily.

Gao Yang finally let go of his hand.

Yang Su's body almost went limp.

Gao Yang took the dagger.

When Yang Su finally took a breath, he looked up at Gao Yang again, completely betraying the two of them just now. His dagger is long gone. Looking back, it didn't look like he had done it, but it looked like he was the victim of the storm.

"Yang Lang knows my mind best, don't teach me." Gao Yang shook his head and bowed almost to the ground.

Where did Yang Yu dare to accept his worship, so he hurriedly came up and picked up Gao Yang vigorously.

When Gao Yang raised his head, he himself was staring at Yang Su with a confused face.

Yang sighed, and finally lowered his voice and said, "The lord actually already has this intention in his heart, and Zunyan doesn't understand." It's just that how many people are openly and secretly looking forward to the Lord doing this, and they may not have any good intentions. ”

"I have nothing to fear." Gao Yang said calmly.

Yang Su understood his thoughts.

Yecheng is empty, and it is really a rare opportunity. I'm afraid that the thoughts of the emperor and the clan are on Gao Cheng. Since his father Gao Huan was able to kill Yuan Gong and Yuen Long, what else did he have to fear?

Sun Teng held the Jinyang Army in his hands. What does it matter who the old people of Yecheng's Xianwu King support? Does he care if he is the son or the second son? Gao Cheng himself is also a small Hui Weifu and a small letter Weifu, who will definitely give up?

"Don't be in a hurry." Yang Su is loyal after all.

"Changshi is to say......" Gao Yang's heart suddenly became enlightened.

"The queen gave birth to a prince, and the prince is the prince......" Yang Su didn't say any more.

Since he is the prince, he will succeed to the throne sooner or later.

There is no need to kill the king and force the palace to be so bloody and lose people's hearts; also leaves room to meet Gao Cheng in the future, just in case.

This plan is so old-fashioned, Gao Yang really has nothing to say.

Of course, the emperor Yuan Shanjian in the Wei Palace in Yecheng would not know that the person he couldn't see was the first to come and calculate him so blatantly.

Of course, Gao Yang didn't know that the people he was calculating were also calculating him.

The sky outside is sunny, and inside the Renshou Hall is endless cold.

These days, Gao Cheng is not in Yecheng, and even Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, has been taken away by him, and the atmosphere in the palace is obviously much more relaxed.

Not only that, almost none of Gao Cheng's henchmen are not in Yecheng. This is a rare opportunity.

Yuan Shanjian thought about it carefully, and indeed none of Gao Cheng's henchmen were in Yecheng. Although Hou Jing failed to help him realize his desire to balance Gao Cheng, at least it also played a role in restraining him. Gao Cheng rushed to Yuzhou with his henchmen, which shows how important Hou Jing's matter is in his heart. Yuan Shanjian felt that Hou Jing had indeed helped him share Gao Cheng's heart, and this was a good opportunity that he had rarely found.

Wang Yuanhui of Jibei is forbidden to enter and leave the palace these days, and he no longer needs to be as careful as before for fear of suspicion.

Lin Xingren, the regular servant, even had a feeling of raising his eyebrows.

However, the three of them are not really completely relaxed in their hearts.

Yuan Hui told the scene of King Yuan Daqi of Huashan being hanged outside the Taiji Hall that day in the Renshou Palace. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes at the time, he only heard about it, but he spoke so eloquently that it was really terrifying.

The living king of the clan was strangled to death because he made Gao Cheng dissatisfied.

This touched the hidden pain of Yuan Shanjian.

It's just spring outside, and the silk cloth has just been changed. It's much better than the thick linen that is padded in winter. But the Renshou Hall still makes people feel dark and cold at the moment, and people want to escape quickly.

Yuan Shanjian didn't speak, and Lin Xingren couldn't afford to miss this opportunity. Knowing that Yuan Hui's personality and temper would not give Yuan Shanjian a happy idea easily, he came up and said, "King Gao was tripped in Yuzhou, this opportunity is rare, and you must not let it go." Otherwise, ...... in the future" Of course, he can't say that Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Hui will die like Yuan Daqi, but it is enough to remind.

Yuan Hui saw that Lin Xingren was leading, so he also came up with confidence and said, "What Zhongchang said is good, and it is a good opportunity." If the Lord does not make up his mind, he is afraid that he will lose the opportunity, and it will be difficult to find it in the future. ”

Yuan Shanjian frowned and said, "Gao Chengyuan is in Yuzhou, how can I get him?" Hou Jing will kill him when he wants to kill him, but I am afraid that Hou Jing will also take care of himself. ”

Lin Xingren saw that Yuan Hui wanted to act and was afraid of trouble, so he always refused to make up his mind; The Lord is too paranoid to have this meaning; He really couldn't help but say, "The Lord is wrong, the Gao family has been in power for a long time, and it is intertwined, so it is not enough to deal with a Gao Cheng." ”

This is very insightful, and even Yuan Hui looked at Lin Xingren differently. He didn't speak, just waited to hear what Lin Xingren had in mind.

Yuan Shanjian also said curiously, "What you said is very true, what do you have in mind?" ”

Lin Xingren reminded, "The Lord thinks about the day the queen gave birth, Gao Cheng returned home and lost his temper with the eldest princess. ”

That day, it was Lin Xingren who ordered someone to introduce Li Changyi into the side hall of the Jiaofang Palace. Gao Yang was also deliberately lured by him. Then he used Li Changyi to burn the fire to Gao Cheng's back house, just to see what Gao Cheng's reflection was. Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him.

Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Hui both knew about this, and felt that if they could use Gao Yang, an idiot, to make their brothers kill each other, it would be a good idea to wait for the rabbit.

Lin Xingren said proudly, "The Duke of Taiyuan and the eldest princess will be furious when they see King Gao, if the Duke of Taiyuan forcibly occupies the eldest princess and poisons her to death, I wonder if King Gao will come back and kill her?" ”

Yuan Hui laughed when he heard this, "Zhongchang is really scheming. King Gao's killing of his brother is extremely crazy, and if he kills each other, he will not be far from defeat. ”

Yuan Hui and Lin Xingren were extremely happy in their hearts, but they all forgot that Princess Gao and the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua were the sisters of Emperor Yuan Shanjian's mother.

Yuan Shan hesitated for a moment, and his eyes were slightly red.

Lin Xingren saw the opportunity quickly and remembered it first. But he was very proud of this plan, and he was afraid that Yuan Shanjian would not agree, so he sighed, "The princess sacrificed her life, if she can save Your Majesty from the suffering of King Huashan, it will also be of great merit." ”

Yuan Shan hid his face and cried, but there was nothing else to say.
