Chapter 23: Sudden News (2)

Chen Qian didn't speak, looked at Gao Cheng indifferently, and ignored Cui Jishu, obviously completely out of the matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gao Cheng stared at Cui Jishu hard. He had his back to Chen Qian, but Cui Jishu opposite him was facing Chen Qian and didn't dare to make any looks.

Seeing Gao Cheng turn around, Chen Qian smiled at him and said, "Wu Taishou, can you wait for a while?" Sima Taiwei is my father's best friend, and I am also responsible for taking care of him. If there is really a case, my father will be responsible for coming to Yecheng in the near future. ”

At this moment, Chen Qian suddenly felt very tired in Gao Cheng's smile. I heard that he meant to change things temporarily and go to Qiuxin Palace to see the injury of that Sima Taiwei. He was fine, but he was more suspicious. In his opinion, Gao Cheng is a young man, and he has been a gentleman since he was a child, I heard that he has always been high-flying and domineering, and in addition to himself, even his younger brother is regarded as a house slave, how can he take care of this Sima Taiwei? At most, it's just a prominent eunuch, what reason is there for Gao Cheng to be so favored?

Chen Qian smiled and said, "General, please take it, it's okay to wait for a while." ”

As he spoke, the group walked towards the Autumn Palace, just in front of them through the trees, which was close at hand.

Gao Cheng has been silent, but Cui Jishu talks a lot, and has been talking about King Gao's old thoughts, and the old ministers also miss King Gao, and the prince should be more pity. But he has always been talking to himself alone, and he is not embarrassed. Even under the wall of Qiuxin Palace, Cui Jishu ordered the eunuchs who followed him: saying that Sima Taiwei's family heard the news or waited at the gate of Quemen, and read that it was the people valued by King Gao, and he could order his people to come in and take him back to the house. Then he reported to Gao Cheng on his own initiative, saying that Sun Taibao, Gao Dadu, etc., heard that King Gao would come to Yecheng in the past few days, and he thought about it in his heart, and he wanted to inquire about the news from the general. Therefore, he specially ordered: if there are subordinates of Sun Taibao and others, and they want to see the general, they will all be introduced into the garden to speak to the general.

Chen Qian didn't understand why this Cui Shilang said so much. He carefully observed Gao Cheng's attitude, not only did Gao Cheng not reprimand, but also looked absent-minded. Such a big thing, not caring at all?

Gao Cheng naturally heard Cui Jishu mention "Sun Taibao" a few times, and he roughly understood what it meant.

Cui Jishu said to Chen Qian again, "Qiuxin Palace has been uninhabited for a long time, I'm afraid it is very messy and full of dust, so Mrs. Chen will wait here for a moment." ”

Chen Qian saw that Gao Cheng had left him and had already gone in. Before he could say a polite word, this Cui Ji waiter also hurried away and followed behind Gao Cheng.

The gate of the Akishin Palace is open, and the fine dust is everywhere in the sun, and the inward view is the endless barren grass, and the main hall is behind the barren grass. Chen Qian saw Gao Cheng's back and disappeared among the wild grass.

The palace door slowly closed at this time.

Qiuxin Palace, because there has been no one for a long time, is even more gloomy. There were no lamps or candles or braziers in the temple.

Sun Teng and Sima Ziru waited here for a long time, but they didn't feel cold at all. The two of them spoke thoroughly, and it was rare to reach an agreement, so they didn't have much to say, just waiting for Cui Jishu to find the general Gao Cheng.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Gao Cheng came in from the outside, the sun was shining outside, but the inside of the hall was dim, and then the door of the hall was closed. At this time, Cui Jishu heard a sound outside the palace gate, and turned around and went out, before he could tell anyone in Gao Cheng Palace.

Gao Cheng only saw the two figures in the hall by the light that came in from the outside before the temple door was closed.

Sun Teng had waited too long at all times, so he sensitively seized the opportunity and clearly saw Gao Cheng walking in.

"The eldest son!" Sun Teng screamed bitterly and knelt down in front of Gao Cheng.

For some reason, this title made Gao Cheng suddenly think of the city gate of the old capital of Luoyang, the time when he was deposed as the prince, Sun Teng used such a title when he said goodbye in the suburbs.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and he remembers it clearly at this moment. However, what should come will always come, and at the moment he saw Sun Teng, Gao Cheng knew in his heart that he didn't need to let Sun Teng explain anything. Sun Teng has long said that he is loyal to the "eldest prince", regardless of whether the eldest prince is the "prince" or not. Unexpectedly, it was fulfilled here today.

"King Gao...... Result...... How, exactly? Gao Cheng's face couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, and only his slightly trembling voice was heard, but it still gave people a sense of indestructibility.

Gao Cheng stopped in the darkness, and finally asked Sun Teng who was kneeling in front of him with difficulty.

Chen Qian, who was waiting outside the Qiuxin Palace, really didn't expect that after a while, Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, came out of it again, just when the two little eunuchs brought a person who looked like an officer in the army to crash through the gate of Qiuxin Palace.

Cui Jishu couldn't take care of Chen Qian anymore, and hurriedly asked if that person was a subordinate of Sun Taibao?

The man was still calm, only nodded and walked inside.

Chen Qian was even more suspicious in his heart. From meeting Cui Jishu just now, until Gao Cheng entered Qiuxin Palace, and then to the rumored "Sun Taibao" subordinates coming in, there are many strange things. Where is there such a coincidence, what Cui Jishu just said casually, there really were some of Sun Taibao's subordinates who came immediately in response to this?

Could it be that this man was coming as expected? That must be the important news that Gao Cheng has been waiting for. What would that be the news? The premonition in Chen Qian's heart was about to come out.

At least Chen Qian is a smart person, and more people, most people, don't know that Dawei is going to change the day from now on.

Chen Qian originally thought that this time it would take a long time. But something unexpected happened to him, and it didn't take long for the gate of the Akishin Palace to be greatly opened.

Still the same as when he went in just now, Gao Cheng walked out slowly in the dust of bright light and shadow. On the contrary, he is not in a hurry or impatient. Chen Qian looked at his surprisingly beautiful face carefully, but he couldn't see anything. It's even quieter than before entering.,It's strange that there's a kind of calm.,It seems that it's been what I've asked for for a long time.,And today I suddenly got what I wanted.。 But because I've waited too long, there's nothing else but blandness. Or everything in the world is like this, and the gains and losses may be found to be too great and not worth it at the same time.

Walking to the gate of Qiuxin Palace, Gao Cheng suddenly stopped and turned around, and then looked up. I don't know if I'm looking at the high roof of the Akishin Palace, or the blue sky higher in the distance. When he turned around, it seemed that his bearing had changed, and the kingly aura on his body was unconsciously revealed.

Then he instructed Cui Jishu to send the injured Taiwei and Sima Gong out of the palace. Together with Sun Taibao's subordinates, they were all sent out of the palace. King Gao has come out of Jinyang to Yecheng, and he has been walking on the road for a long time, and he can't treat the old subordinates of the king badly.

Cui Jishu promised one by one.

Gao Cheng got closer and closer, Chen Qian's heart was on him, he could already see that Gao Cheng's eyes were a little red that he couldn't see if he didn't look carefully, and his green eyes were so beautiful that they looked watery. Chen Qian couldn't control his heart and spirit.

Gao Cheng said politely, but he didn't apologize too much, and he was indifferent to Chen Qian, so he personally led him to the Zhaotai Hall on the pickaxe pond not far away.

Cui Jishu judged the two of them before and after, silent, and really hung his head as if he was mourning.

Everyone in the Zhaotai Hall was already drowsy. You will get tired of eating delicious food and wine, and you will get tired of listening to and watching light songs and dances, and if there is nothing more exciting, this feast will be over.

Yuan Shanjian turned around and asked Lin Xingren, the regular servant who came back not long ago, why didn't the general and the southern envoy come yet?

It was Lin Xingren who personally went to the embassy to deliver the message. It's just that he was afraid of Gao Cheng, so he hurried back to return to the palace under the pretext of rushing back to his life. At this time, he deduced that he didn't know, and the general was traveling with him, almost at the same time.

Yuan Shanjian was even more unhappy in his heart. Wei Palace is like Gao Cheng's private residence, where you want to go. Usually it doesn't matter if you don't give him face, today there is the presence of the prince of Rouran, as well as those people from the Southern Dynasty in the embassy, all watching. He summoned several times, but Gao Cheng didn't come.

Yuan Shanjian was already a little too drunk, and at this time he still had a knight in his hand. He staggered to his feet, thinking about what Hou Jing said before, and all the anger in his heart accumulated at this time, and he couldn't wait to even hook up the old past.

"If the general doesn't come again, Lone will personally go out of the palace to invite. Lone is the son of heaven, why is it so difficult to see the general? Yuan Shanjian's voice suddenly rose up.

As he got up, Yujue shook in his hand, and the wine spilled on his robe and soaked his robe.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was so disrespectful, and he shouted so loudly, the half-drunk ministers who were still drowsy just now woke up. There are frightened and frightened, and there are tears of joy and anticipation waiting for the next words of the Son of Heaven. This matter is related to the general Gao Cheng, and this is the excitement in everyone's hearts. If it is said that Yuan Shan sees this son of heaven, there are really not many people who take him to heart.

Gao Yuanjun, the queen behind the curtain, saw her husband so out of shape, and she was a little disgusted. It was the first time she had felt this way about him. Gao Yuanjun also understood that Yuan Shanjian was somewhat taking advantage of the situation to make trouble, and he must have known that King Gao was a little bad, so he became so arrogant. Gao Yuanjun's heart was cold at this time, and he didn't know how much of it was true that his husband was obedient and considerate to him on weekdays. Now she understands better that she will always be from the Gao family, and there will always be a strong supporter standing behind her. If her father is not safe, then who should she be replaced with this supporter? Is it the eldest brother Gao Cheng, or the second brother Gao Yang?

Gao Yuanjun looked sideways, and Gao Yang beside her looked at the scene outside expressionlessly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. Because I'm usually used to having a stupid expression, no one paid attention to it at that time, and now I can't figure it out even if I want to pay attention to it. Gao Yuanjun suddenly felt that the second brother in front of her was very strange, and she was very vague about him.

Outside, there was chaos in the main hall.

The ministers were at a loss. Lin Xingren, the regular attendant, was busy supporting the emperor, and the little eunuchs were sent around, buttermilk for a while, and sobering soup for a while......

At this time, Wang Yuanhui of Jibei really took out the identity of Uncle Wang, the Son of Heaven, and commanded indiscriminately, saying some impassioned but useless words. Seeing that Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin behind him shook his head, he sighed again and again in his heart. Yuan Hui asked Lin Xingren to hurry up and find out where Gao Cheng was. Lin Xingren was dissatisfied with Yuan Hui for taking such a tricky matter to support him, so he ordered the little eunuch to find it, but he had to deal with it.

Hou Jing calmly poured and drank on his seat. The more chaotic the scene in front of him, the more proud he felt in his heart.

Empress Gao Yuanjun looked at the scene in the palace outside, and suddenly felt extremely terrifying in her heart. In her eyes, it was not a feast, a song and dance, but a stream of flesh and blood, and corpses everywhere.

Gao Yuanjun couldn't help but gag, Xiaohu hurriedly ordered the slave maid to come over, and he also came up to help the queen to stroke her chest and pat her back.

After a long time, Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang turned around, looked at his sister Gao Yuanjun, and said in a wooden voice, "My sister has also seen the scene outside, and someone must preside over it." It doesn't matter if the eldest brother is not there, I can also replace him. If the queen is not happy, she can go back to the Jiaofang Palace and don't hurt the prince. ”

Listening to Gao Yang's tone, it seems that the most important thing at the moment is the inexplicable "prince", not the empress Gao Yuanjun who is alive in front of him.

In the main hall outside, there is only one person who is always sober, angry and hateful, and that is the son of Rouran Shizi Bald Tujia.

Bald Tujia has been from Chang'an and Yecheng since he went to and from two places, and he has seen a lot of affairs in the court of the two Wei Dynasty. In Chang'an, it can almost be said that Yuwentai has always been in power, and no one dares to provoke him easily. In Yecheng, Bald Tujia only saw clearly today that if there was a slight change, Gao Cheng's position as a powerful minister was so precarious.

It is precisely because of the close friendship between Bald Tujia and Gao Cheng that he can't see villains like Hou Jing and Yuan Hui who harbor evil intentions and are always waiting for opportunities in the shadows.

Bald Tujia excused herself to change her clothes and stood up. In a hall, the ministers and workers were at a loss and walked out in the chaos of looking at the Son of Heaven.

As if he heard the voice of Yuan Shanjian drunk and shouting "Shizi" behind him, he turned a deaf ear and still didn't stop. At this time, I remembered that this Yuan Shanjian was still the brother of Gao Cheng's concubine Yuan Zhonghua. Having such a brother is definitely not a good thing for Yuan Zhonghua. Such a sudden thought flashed in Bald Jia's mind, and it was okay, anyway, it was all about him that had nothing to do with him.

The little eunuch who went out to inquire about the news hurriedly entered the hall, rushed to Lin Xingren along the corner of the wall like a little hamster, and then whispered a few words.

Lin Xingren unconsciously looked towards the door of the palace, and then whispered in the ear of Emperor Yuan Shanjian, who he had been supporting.

When Yuan Shanjian heard the word "Gao Cheng", he immediately quieted down, no longer asking for wine, and the crystal light in his eyes also looked towards the gate of the palace.

Rouran Shizi Bald Tujia walked out of the Zhaotai Palace, and suddenly felt that his eyes were bright, his ears were pure, and his whole body and mind were comfortable, and he finally let out a long breath, and even his heart was no longer so dirty.

It's not like it's bright and pleasant, but at least the breath of spring is finally there. The slaves and maids outside the hall watched this foreign prince walk down the white jade steps in front of the Zhaotai Palace, and they didn't know where he was going, and no one dared to stop him.

The sky is exceptionally blue and the daylight is intense, and although it is only a rare moment in early spring, the weather is always fine and everything is fine as the solar terms change.

What made Bald Tujia's eyes even more dazzling was the three people who were surrounded by servants walking on the white jade bridge leading to the shore of the pickaxe pond. The one at the forefront was Gao Cheng.

"Xiao Langjun!" Bald Tujia couldn't help but call out to greet him. At this time, he felt that his heart was steady. But thinking back to the scene in the hall just now, he was worried about Gao Cheng again, and he didn't know what kind of sinister thing was waiting for Gao Cheng. (To be continued.) )
