"King Jibei," Yuan Shanjian said unceremoniously, "If you want to say that Gao Cheng's elected officials buy people's hearts, and Gu is not less kind to the clan, are all kings thinking the same as Lone?" ”

Yuan Shanjian knew that he was born as the son of King Qinghe, and he was elected as the emperor because he had an in-law relationship with Gao Huan, and he was not from an orthodox background. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Gao Huan and Gao Cheng father and son control the government, and he has no authority. Not to mention that now there is another Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang, and Gao's wings have been completed. He didn't abolish his self-reliance, and he was already lucky. The stable king Yuanlong that Gao Huan set up in Xindu before, and the Emperor Yuan Gong of Jiemin who was killed under the pagoda of Yongning Temple in Luoyang, are all lessons from the past.

It's just that Gao Huan is scheming after all, and he is respectful on the surface, so he endures it. Gao Cheng really doesn't take him seriously, even his own sister Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua only knows that he has a husband, but he doesn't know that he has a brother. Yuan Shanjian knew that the only power he could use was the clan.

He did his best to treat the kings of the clan, but Yuan Hui and the others were not powerful after all, and their help was limited. Besides, since the change in Heyin, everyone in the clan has been frightened, only thinking about how to settle down and live, and where can they still take care of him, a puppet emperor.

"Lord," Yuan Hui lost his arrogance when questioned, and his voice was a little choked, "The minister is His Majesty's uncle, so he naturally has the same mind as His Majesty." The kings of the clan are also the same as the ministers, but Gao Cheng Xiaoer is in trouble everywhere, the kings not only have no official position and no authority, but even their assets have been taken away by Xiaoer on the grounds of punishing corruption. This erection is already hated by everyone, but if there is an opportunity, the kings of the clan are willing to get rid of it for His Majesty. If you can get rid of this thief, it is worth losing your life. ”

Yuan Hui couldn't cry as he spoke.

Lin Xingren remembered that Gao Cheng was going to kill himself with a sword, if it wasn't for the emperor's desperate efforts to stop him, I am afraid that Gao Cheng would have died with a sword. He also has the same mind as Yuan Hui, if he can really kill Gao Cheng, he is also willing to pay with his life.

Seeing this, Yuan Shan's face turned pale. After all, Yuan Hui and the others are his only hope, and he can't be too responsible. sighed, "Uncle Wang doesn't have to be sentimental. If the Son of Heaven has authority, he can appoint private individuals, and his authority will naturally deepen. If the Son of Heaven has no authority, it is not easy to employ people, and those who have no party will naturally have no authority. You don't have to compete with Gao Cheng now. The old routine is the foundation of the Great Wei for a long time, how can it be easily changed? Gao Cheng doesn't think about the interests of others, and openly makes enemies with the gate valve, so it's up to him to offend people. ”

Yuan Shan saw that these words brought hope to Yuan Hui and Lin Xingren, and neither of them expected the emperor to think so deeply. They only saw the benefits of Gao Cheng, and no one thought about the disadvantages of what he gained. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and Yuan Shanjian saw this accurately.

"Your Majesty......" Yuan Hui raised his head with teary eyes, and his heart was uplifted again.

Yuan Shanjian waved his hand, stopped him, and asked, "Uncle Wang, isn't your dancing girl a thousand choices?" Didn't you already know that she had an old relationship with Gao Cheng? How can you not be favored? ”

At the mention of Yuan Yuyi, Yuan Hui frowned, and he was puzzled. Obviously, I heard it before, Gao Cheng was deposed because of this dancing girl who was confused and misbehaved, why is the situation different now?

He suddenly remembered Yuan Yuyi's words, and replied, "Your Majesty might as well summon the eldest princess into the palace more......

Yuan Shan looked at Yuan Hui in confusion.

Lin Xingren also suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Hui.

"Is it the princess who guards against her?" Yuan Shanjian didn't believe it when he said this. His sister wasn't that scheming, he knew it very well.

"That dancing girl said that Gao Cheng only favors the princess." Yuan Hui is dazed. His plan didn't work, and he couldn't be happy.

Yuan Zen was surprised. The great prime minister Gao Huan asked his son Gao Cheng to marry the concubine of King Qinghe, when Yuan Zhonghua was only five years old. In Yuan Shanjian's opinion, this sister is not outstanding, Gao Cheng's romantic temperament, how could he favor this concubine who was married in order to marry the Yuan Emperor?

Lin Xingren suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what King Jibei said is right. He said affirmatively. The little slave went to the General's Mansion many times, and he saw a lot, and the General was kind to the eldest princess. ”

Yuan Shanjian was a little convinced at this time, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing." Lin Xingren persuaded, "Since the eldest princess is favored, why does Your Majesty ask for it?" It's better to get closer to the eldest princess. ”

Yuan Shanjian shook his head, "She and Gu have never been the same mind...... He suddenly thought of a sentence in his heart, but he didn't say it. Based on his intuition, if he has the same heart and mind, I am afraid that Yuan Zhonghua is not as good as the queen Gao Yuanjun. Yuan Zhonghua grew up in the Bohai Palace since he was a child, and he was raised by Gao Cheng himself, how could he not be interested in Gao Cheng?

At this time, a small eunuch ascended to the Zhaotai Temple and hurriedly stepped forward. walked up to Lin Xingren and whispered a few words.

"Your Majesty, the general is here." Lin Xingren's color changed, and he immediately raised his head to Yuan Shan.

Hearing the words "general", Wang Yuanhui of Jibei immediately subconsciously wiped the tears on his face, and hurriedly asked Yuan Shanjian, "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for the minister to retire first." ”

Yuan Zenjian nodded, absentmindedly thinking about what had just happened.

Lin Xingren watched Yuan Hui hurriedly resign and retreat, and he really had some doubts in his heart, could he really deal with Gao Cheng with this King of Jibei?

Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren were undulating on the railing and looked down. Sure enough, after a while, I saw Gao Cheng, dressed in official uniform, walking in a public step, with a solid style, and walked up to the stone bridge leading to the Zhaotai Hall on the pickaxe pond without hurry. He was alone, and he didn't take anyone else with him.

Lin Xingren secretly calculated in his heart that it had been a while since Wang Yuanhui of Jibei left, and he should not have bumped into Gao Cheng.

Yuan Shanjian suddenly felt that Gao Cheng was different from before. Maybe it's because he's getting older, maybe it's because he's getting more and more experienced, but he's no longer the young man he is. He sighed in his heart for some reason, and at the same time, there was a deep sense of crisis.

After a while, the little eunuch bowed slightly, bowed his head and hurried over, "Your Majesty, the general is here." ”

Yuan Shan looked up together with Lin Xingren behind him, and sure enough, he saw that Gao Cheng had gone from far and near. Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren both felt that Gao Cheng had a smile on his face, but in fact, he didn't smile when he got closer and looked closer. Anyway, it is certain that Gao Cheng is in a pretty good mood, full of spring breeze. There aren't many times like that.

"Minister Gao Cheng greets Your Majesty." Gao Cheng bowed to Yuan Shan.

"Why does the general bother to pay attention to these false courtesies with Gu?" Yuan Shanjian came over and leaned over to pick Gao Cheng up from the ground with his own hands.

The two of them faced each other, and Yuan Shanjian was wearing a very casual white robe, a bit like a fairy. is not like the Son of Heaven who has all kinds of opportunities, but like a person who is not polluted by the world. Yuan Shan saw that Gao Cheng was well-dressed, because of the hot weather, the dense fine sweat on his forehead made his face look like a powder coat of vermilion, and his lips were red and his teeth were extremely fresh.

"Chen Cheng didn't dare to be rude in front of His Majesty." Gao Cheng quietly broke away from Yuan Shanjian's supporting hand, pretending to be respectful.

"How can a general be like everyone else?" Yuan Shanjian didn't care either, and said with a smile, "The general has been going to Jiankang for a few months, presumably because of hard work, how many days can you rest?" I haven't seen the general for a few months, and I miss it very much, and I'm looking forward to the general entering the palace these days. He glanced back at Lin Xingren.

Lin Xingren understood, and hurriedly walked up and knelt down.

Who knew that before Lin Xingren could speak, Gao Cheng smiled at Yuan Shanjian, "There is something that the minister wants to ask His Majesty for return." ”

Yuan Shanjian didn't understand what he meant, so he didn't want to make a promise easily, and he was extremely wary of Gao Cheng in his heart. "What do you want to pay back? Lone has already entrusted the world to the general, but the general is self-sufficient, why bother to ask Lonely? ”

Gao Cheng ignored Yuan Shanjian, walked up to Lin Xingren, put his hands on his sleeves, leaned over slightly and looked down at Lin Xingren who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face.

Although Lin Xingren didn't dare to look up, he didn't know why, he just felt that Gao Cheng had bad intentions. I knew in my heart that if Gao Cheng really wanted to do something to him, even the emperor couldn't do it.

Yuan Shan's heart trembled when he saw Gao Cheng staring at Lin Xingren like this. Lin Xingren is the closest person to him, and he is the only one who has the same heart as him, and he doesn't understand why Gao Cheng always has trouble with Lin Xingren, a powerless eunuch. There is only one possibility, that is, Gao Cheng took the opportunity to provoke and take Lin Xingren's approach, which was actually aimed at him.

"I remember that when Chen Xizheng came back from the defeat of Shayuan, he agreed with His Majesty that if he wins one day, this slave will be handed over to the minister to deal with." Gao Cheng looked at Yuan Shanjian with great interest, he stared at Yuan Shanjian with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting to see his embarrassment.

Yuan Shanjian still remembered that Gao Cheng Shayuan was defeated, and the two of them fought on the outskirts of Yecheng, and Gao Cheng did say such things at that time. But who would have thought that after such a long time, he still remembered such a trivial matter.

Yuan Shan secretly sweated.

"The general spares his life." Lin Xingren gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he had to wag his tail and beg for mercy.

"Sister-in-law...... "But Yuan Shanjian hurriedly came up with a way, and in order to save Lin Xingren, he had to let go of his dignity and dignity, and call his courtiers brothers and sisters." This servant will first let him be deposited in your hands. The princess is pregnant, don't let this slave ruin the interest of her sister-in-law. ”

Yuan Shanjian deliberately stared at Gao Cheng to see his reflection.

Lin Xingren, who was kneeling on the ground, also looked up at Gao Cheng expectantly.

Gao Cheng looked at Yuan Shanjian, glanced at Lin Xingren on the ground, and suddenly laughed, "Tongxi, Tongxi, uncle, what do you and I do to each other?" He squinted at Yuan Shanjian, pointed at him at the same time, and then pointed at himself, and then laughed even more.

It seems that Lin Xingren's life was saved.

Yuan Shanjian walked inside with Gao Cheng, glanced back at Lin Xingren, and secretly waved his sleeves to signal him to retreat. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart, it seems that what the dancing girl sent by Wang Yuanhui of Jibei said is not unreasonable.

Lin Xingren's heart fell to the ground secretly, and he sighed in his heart, sure enough, mentioning the princess had a miraculous effect.

Zhaotai view is a high pavilion, and on the island in the middle of the lake, at this time there is wind outside, from the door and window in the pavilion through through, blowing in the pavilion is very cool, light gauze curtain swaying with the wind.

Yuan Shanjian and Gao Cheng sat down separately. The eunuchs rushed back and forth to serve the general's favorite Daigo, as well as melons and fruits and tea in the right time.

Yuan Shanjian looked at Gao Cheng and smiled, "The princess is pregnant, not only is her sister-in-law happy, but Queen Guhe doesn't have to worry so much anymore." ”

Gao Cheng didn't move, only held the tea and drank it slightly.

Yuan Shan sighed earnestly when he saw it, "The princess is Lone's own sister, and she and the queen have grown up together since childhood, like siblings. There are some things that my sister may not be able to say to her sister-in-law, nor to the eldest brother Gu, but the queen knows better. ”

Gao Cheng put down the green glazed teacup at this time and raised his head to look at Yuan Shanjian, he didn't understand what he was going to say, he no longer had a smile on his face, as if he was listening to Yuan Shanjian very intently.

"The queen didn't dare to tell the general, and she didn't dare to tell Gu, but a few days ago, she knew that the princess was pregnant, and the queen cried with joy before she said it." Yuan Shanjian's eyes turned red as he spoke. "The princess has been depressed since she lost her child last time, and she didn't know how heavy her heart was when she failed to give birth to a concubine for the general. Her sensitive temperament, her sister-in-law must also know. If you can't wait for a long time, you may feel how tormented you are. It's also that the eldest brother is too careless, but there is really a difference between men and women, and it's not good to ask too much. ”

Yuan Shanjian saw that Gao Cheng listened thoughtfully, wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "There is no need to say this, in short, it is in the past." Since she knew that she was pregnant, the princess was extra cautious, for fear of a little accident. It seems that it is good if she can give birth to a concubine for the general safely, but if there is a slight accident, she is afraid that if others don't say anything, she really can't get over it in her own heart. ”

Yuan Shan saw that Gao Cheng was getting more and more distracted when he heard it, so he called, "Sister-in-law......"

Gao Cheng never understood what Yuan Zhonghua thought in his heart. It turned out that she was so entangled in the matter of having no heirs. She never mentioned it to him, and Gao Cheng was a little stunned when she thought of this. Even his sister Gao Yuanjun knew; Yuan Zen saw that he was her brother and knew it. Only he didn't know.

What does it matter if she has a son-in-law for her? As long as it is his son, he is her son, and he will respect her as his mother-in-law. If Yuan Zhonghua wants to raise a son, it is estimated that the concubine who is the biological mother will be grateful.

Could it be that she still didn't believe him in her heart after all?

"General ......" suddenly heard Yuan Shanjian calling him, Gao Cheng immediately raised his head and looked at Yuan Shanjian in a bit of a trance.

"If the general is really for the good of the princess, let her give birth to this child peacefully, no matter how much she makes a tile, it will also be a comfort to her." Yuan Shanjian persuaded very intimately. "Lone understands that the general has a deep affection for his sister, but you don't understand her heart, if you don't fulfill her, how can you really have affection for her?"

Seeing this, Yuan Shanjian paused before looking at Gao Cheng and asked, "I heard that there is also a concubine in the General's Mansion who is also pregnant, presumably the princess is even more looking forward to giving birth to a concubine as soon as possible." The general might as well let her be quiet, and it will be easier to be relaxed. General, do you still like that dancing girl? ”
