It was bright, but it was gloomy. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info unconsciously did not feel the sun rising at all. It's a little gloomy and cold, not like the other day when the sun was shining in spring.

The hall is slightly dim. There was no light, no brazier, and it wasn't that comfortable. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were waiting for Gao Cheng here. Neither of them could sit still, and Chen Yuankang stood in front of Yutu and didn't know what he was staring at. And Cui Jishu stood by the window and was distracted, but in fact, he couldn't see anything outside.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang turned their heads together.

Gao Cheng walked in. He had changed out of his bloody clothes and refreshed himself. It's just that the color of the newly changed dark robe on his body is dull, which is very inappropriate in such a dim weather and the dim Minghe Hall, but it just sets off his solemn expression, and there is a deep and lofty atmosphere.

At this time, it was not obvious from the appearance that he was injured. The big sleeves covered up the bandaged wound without a trace.

"General," Cui Jishu grabbed the front, and asked while carefully looking at Gao Cheng's arm, "Is it seriously injured?" ”

Gao Cheng said angrily, "What did you do earlier?" Just ask? ”

Cui Jishu lowered his head and lowered his voice and said, "Since the general can sleep with Mrs. Gao Thorn Shi and is still fine, how can he be reprimanded when he comes to Shuzheng's place to greet him?" ”

Gao Cheng said angrily, "If you want to spread it, I must ask." ”

Cui Jishu only responded.

In fact, Gao Cheng was talking about his assassination, and Cui Jishu thought it was his bed affair with Li Changyi. I thought, is this kind of thing still rare? Could it be that the prince is afraid of Gao Zhongmi?

Gao Cheng's willful anger in front of Cui Jishu is actually a kind of psychological laxative. He subconsciously stroked his left arm, and the pain was terrible. Although it is a flesh wound, but the wound is deep, it is not a moment and a half to heal, I am afraid that he will have to recuperate well these days, and it is better to go out less. It is also possible to take the opportunity to observe changes secretly.

Cui Jishu saw Gao Cheng caress his wounds, and knew that he was in a lot of pain, and he didn't have the heart to fight with him.

Chen Yuankang didn't speak, and then Fang came over. "Who is the one who plotted to assassinate the general? How dare you be so bold? After the curfew, in the capital, there will be a public attack on the general, and there will be a subordinate after that. ”

Saying this, Cui Jishu's mind was also brought over. Cui Jishu originally knew that after his nephew Cui Xian succeeded to the post of lieutenant of Yushi, in order to repay the general's kindness, he had to deliberately be different from the original Gao Zhongmi and be extremely conscientious. The investigation of corruption and blasphemy is too strict, and complaints are everywhere, and it is inevitable that Gao Cheng will not be resentful.

Cui Jishu himself is a waiter in the Yellow Gate, and the affairs in the palace are clearer than anyone else. Jibei Wang Yuanhui and several other clans had close contacts with Emperor Yuanshanjian, who knew what was secretly discussed? and Princess Langya Yuan Yuyi's brother, Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin, gradually got close to Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Huilai.

King Yuanhui of Jibei hated the prince of the world, all because after the battle of Tongguan, Gao Cheng ruled the government and took Yuanhui to open the knife. After the big trouble in Zhaotai Palace, King Yuanhui of Jibei was thrown into prison, the property was confiscated, beaten and punished, and the people did not hide and the wealth was gone, and since then Yuanhui has hated the prince in his heart.

Cui Jishu couldn't think about it anymore, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Gao Cheng recalled the scene, and he was almost certain that the masked men in black had not come specifically to assassinate him. At that time, the scene of the two encountering each other was still in his mind, and he could feel that the men in black were very surprised when they saw him at first glance, and there was a kind of nervousness that their actions had been broken. They may not even know who he is at first.

That's what worries him more.

There are so many gate valve mansions and official homes in Yecheng, is there anyone secretly brewing something big? If he hadn't been hit by him last night, there would have been no trace of this surging undercurrent. Isn't it even more terrible to do it so cleanly and secretly?

According to his intuition, this matter is inseparable from the high thorn Shifudi.

"Brother Changyou thinks it's someone who supports it?" Gao Cheng asked along with Chen Yuankang's words.

"Without evidence, the minister cannot comment on who is the envoy. If you can't assassinate him, will you let him escape? Chen Yuankang asked Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a pair of beautiful green eyes looked particularly deep in the dimness. "It's okay to escape, naturally there is a place to go."

Cui Jishu suddenly said, "Doesn't the general think it's strange? The little lady of the Li family has never been a person who wants to be wanted, how can she be willing to accommodate the general? "Cui Jishu knows very well what Li Changyi is like, if it weren't for being caught with the handle or having a plan, how could it be so?

This is also the question in Gao Cheng's heart. He always felt that Li Changyi had something to do with it.

Chen Yuankang also understood what Gao Cheng meant. It is precisely because it is not clear for a while, so it is better to loosen and tighten the darkness, so as to lead to the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Is the general still going to rush out to attack Xikou?" Chen Yuankang asked faintly.

Without waiting for Gao Cheng to answer, Chen Yuankang walked to the map. "General, look," he said, gesturing to the map.

Gao Cheng ordered people to hold the lamp.

When the slaves and maids were ordered to come in and light the candles, Gao Cheng personally held a light celadon lotus lamp and walked to the map to illuminate it for Chen Yuankang.

Cui Jishu also followed.

"In the dispute between me and Xikou, I don't have to care about the pros and cons of the moment." He glanced at Cui Jishu, "It's really a dispute between the general and Yuwen Black Otter to govern the country." ”

Cui Jishu is not an outsider anyway. This is the coldest truth. No matter which emperor it is, whether it is Yuan Shanjian or Yuan Bao Torch, they are all puppets.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, staring at the map.

However, it is also unjustifiable. It is precisely because of the unjustifiable name that he is often hated by others, and he is fetters again. If you want to resist external insults, you must first clear its internal troubles, otherwise the disaster within the Xiao Wall will be suicide and self-destruction. Chen Yuankang's words were too straightforward, this was the first time he had said such a thing to Gao Cheng, and with Chen Yuankang's character, it could be regarded as an exception.

"General," Chen Yuankang's finger crossed a line on the map, from west to east, from Chang'an and Tongguan to Luoyang, Heqiao, and Hujiao. "If the land of Henan is firmly in the hands of the general, and the general is unprepared to take Hengnong, close to Tongguan, supplemented by the Jinyang army to go down to Fenshui, take Yubi, and seize Puban, then the matter will be done. Why bother with his three-year covenant? ”

Chen Yuankang's voice was agitated and magnificent, and his fingers were like heavy soldiers going straight down, walking in the shape of a dragon and snake on the map.

Hearing this, Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu were also full of blood.

Chen Yuankang's fingers stopped at the Tiger Prison Pass again, and he raised his head to look at Gao Cheng. "Do you remember the general? When the governor was alive, the soldiers were imprisoned, and if the governor was still there, the general would be able to defeat the Yuwen black otter in a battle and go west to capture Chang'an. ”

Chen Yuankang's voice fell. The pain of the death of the prince made him feel unbearable. And knowing who the enemy is, he just can't do it.

Gao Cheng didn't know in his heart that mentioning Gao Aocao's death was also his heartache. If Gao Aocao is here today, then how sure he is. couldn't help sighing, "The governor of the capital has not avenged his revenge, and Zi Hui is really ashamed of his uncle." He didn't hate Hou Jing in his heart. But Hou Jing's power in Henan, the current situation of confrontation between the two Weis, and the temporary peace under the high danger of Yecheng, how could he easily do something to him?

"Don't talk about Hou Jing, with the death of the Metropolitan Governor, I'm afraid there are people who are even more restless." Chen Yuankang's finger tapped on Beiyuzhou. "The general might as well transfer him back to the capital."

From last night to this morning, all of Gao Cheng's thoughts were connected at this moment because of Chen Yuankang's response, and they appeared clearly in his heart.

There was an agreement with Gao Aocao at the beginning, although it was not explicitly said, but both of them tacitly agreed. For the sake of Gao Aocao's face and his tenderness to the power of the gate valve, Gao Cheng was kind to him by putting Gao Zhongmi as the assassin of Northern Yuzhou. If compared to Jibei Wang Yuanhui and others, Gao Zhongmi should be grateful to Gao Cheng.

But at that time, Gao Aocao was there, and Gao Zhongmi was still restricted. But now that Gao Aocao is gone, Gao Zhongmi can do whatever he wants in Northern Yuzhou. In fact, as early as when Gao Cheng went to Jiankang, Cheng Gao had already felt Gao Zhongmi's restlessness.

"What exactly does Gao Zhongmi want?" Gao Cheng still couldn't figure it out. Gao Zhongmi doesn't have any big ambitions, he is content with pleasure, otherwise he wouldn't be so easily tempted by Li Changyi to divorce his original wife.

"The prince doesn't care what his intentions are. Anyway, he ordered someone to keep an eye on his house, and he would naturally know if something happened. Could he really give up the bride he had taken from his wife? Cui Jishu's words were broken, and the sour tone was full.

This is also an idea, Gao Cheng nodded in approval.

"Brother Changyou, you wrote a letter to Gao Jishi, asking him to keep an eye on his second brother, and send a letter immediately if there is anything." Gao Cheng knew that Chen Yuankang and Gao Jishi also had a good relationship.

Jeju Thorn Shi Gaoji style, stationed in the city of Zhuqiang, in the northeast of Tiger Prison Pass, is the right place to wait and see. Gao Jishi was Gao Aocao's beloved younger brother when he was alive. This assassination history can also be regarded as Gao Cheng's grace to him. Gao Jishi is different from Gao Zhongmi, he is bold, and Gao Cheng likes him very much.

Asking Chen Yuankang to write a letter to Gao Jishi and entrust him with this appointment is not only a trust in him, but also a warning to him.

Chen Yuankang said with a smile, "What the general said is extremely true, Changyou immediately retired and gave Zitong a letter to explain the benefits. ”

Although Gao Cheng didn't explain, he must have dispelled his eagerness to send troops first, not to mention that he was still injured. Everything is like this, know it in your heart, and don't worry about coping with it.

At this time, Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu felt a little more relaxed.

Gao Cheng sat down on the big bed, and suddenly sighed, "After the army, the world will never be over." ”

Chen Yuankang is still okay, Cui Jishu is a little emotional. This means that it is foreseen that there will be an inevitable war with Xikou in the future, and one person will eventually unify the world. However, although the world will be unified at that time, the common people will not be able to survive due to years of war, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover for a long time.

It is not easy to govern the country, and Gao Cheng has felt it deeply in the past few years. Now that the war has not yet arrived, he can think of this first, which shows that his foresight and benevolence have been born from this.

The hour was not early, and the sky should have been bright, but because of the dark clouds, the Jiaofang Hall of Wei Palace was still groggy.

Emperor Yuan Shanjian had already been invited away by Lin Xingren, the middle attendant, saying that Wang Yuanhui of Jibei had something important to see.

Queen Gao Yuanjun didn't care too much. Because Yuan Hui is a person who often goes in and out of the palace. To her surprise, as soon as she finished grooming, there were palace maids who came back and forth, saying that they were invited to see the Taiyuan couple.

So early in the morning, the second brother Taiyuan and his wife entered the palace to ask for a meeting, definitely not to meet and greet each other, but what could it be?

Since the last abolition turmoil, Gao Yuanjun and this twin brother have gradually become estranged. At this time, I really couldn't figure out his thoughts. Of course, I can't see it, and I ordered Xiaohu to go and welcome the Taiyuan couple in.

As soon as Gao Yang walked in, Gao Yuanjun, who was sitting on the big bed waiting for them, suddenly felt a little in a trance, and felt that this second brother was unfamiliar. Or maybe it was because she never really paid attention to him in her heart.

The hall was dim, and it was impossible to see the face of Gao Yang. Gao Yang was wearing an official uniform and strode over, quite imposing. Where is it like the stupid sluggishness that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace discuss in private on weekdays?

Invisibly, Gao Yuanjun felt that there was a deeply hidden murderous aura rushing towards her, which made her feel terrified. But it made her feel inexplicable. This is her brother born to a mother, but where does that deep sense of self-danger come from in her heart?

Sure enough, Gao Yang walked to the big bed and stopped not too close.

"There are no outsiders here, so my brother and sister-in-law don't have to be polite." Gao Yuanjun got up from the big bed and got down to help Gao Yang.

"Your Highness is sitting in the forbidden, do you know about the assassination of the eldest brother?" Gao Yang didn't have a kind word with Gao Yuanjun, and asked directly straight to the point. Of course, he also knew in his heart that Gao Yuanjun must not know. He wanted to know, if there was such a thing, what would Gao Yuanjun's attitude be towards him?

Gao Yuanjun hadn't sat down firmly on the big bed, and he was about to say a few words to the moonlight, but he didn't expect Gao Yang's words to suddenly come out like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Even Xiaohu and the palace maids in the hall stopped all movements and looked at Taiyuan Gong in surprise.

"Big brother...... Assassination? ......" Gao Yuanjun couldn't speak fluently in a hurry. But she quickly changed her words, "How did the second brother deal with it?" "For her, if the eldest brother is really assassinated, whether he is injured or killed, the Gao family must not let people with other intentions take advantage of others at this time.

This answer made Gao Yang very satisfied.

Moonlight sat silently and watched the brother and sister. She suddenly felt that she didn't understand her husband's mind more and more.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, although the assassin escaped, the eldest brother is fine, but he was injured a little, but I don't know how injured the eldest brother was." Gao Yang slowed down his tone and comforted Gao Yuanjun.

When he said this, it seemed that everything was under his control, and that kind of self-confidence boasted that Gao Yuanjun had never seen in him.

When Gao Yuanjun heard Gao Yang say this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "The imperial doctor has ordered the eldest brother to be treated?" Just ask. "But in any case, the assassination of the general is already a big deal, and Gao Yuanjun feels really hateful, and said angrily, "Whoever dares to hit a stone with an egg must be arrested and asked clearly." "Dare to assassinate the general, this is not only against Gao Cheng himself, but also a challenge to the authority of the Gao family.

"Your Highness doesn't need to call the imperial doctor's order, wouldn't it be more reassuring if you could see the eldest brother's injuries with your own eyes?" Gao Yang undoubtedly stopped Gao Yuanjun's intention to order Xiaohu to call the Imperial Physician Order to inquire.

Gao Yuanjun pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the eldest brother now?" ”

Gao Yang suddenly thought that his brother was assassinated and injured, and he didn't know what Princess Feng Yi's Yuan Zhonghua was reflecting, he didn't listen to Gao Yuanjun's words too clearly, but subconsciously replied, "General's Mansion." ”

Moonlight glanced at him. She never said a word. At this time, it seems that he must be going to visit the General's Mansion with the queen with his husband, and I don't know what Gao Cheng's injuries are. (To be continued.) )
