Chapter 43: Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang

Gao Cheng hurriedly broke into the inner bed, approached the couch, and saw at a glance that Yuan Zhonghua on the couch was really looking at him with his eyes open. Yuan Zhonghua's face was pale, extremely weak and powerless, and he didn't even seem to have the strength to speak, but his eyes kept looking at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng looked at Yuan Zhonghua and slowly sat down on the edge of the couch. His arm moved slightly, as if he wanted to reach out to find Yuan Zhonghua's hand hanging weakly outside the quilt. This subtle action can't be hidden, and Ah Jiao and the others can see it clearly. However, the prince, who has always been arbitrary and willful, restrained himself and did not really hold the hand of the princess.

"The words of the Son...... I understand everything......" Just when Gao Cheng was about to speak and stopped, Yuan Zhonghua opened his mouth first with a trembling voice, still looking at Gao Cheng with tears in his eyes.

"Your Highness, why should you think too deeply......" Gao Cheng's voice was low, as if he was hesitant, and the tone of the others seemed as if he felt that he had done something wrong. Ah Jiao and the others were also secretly surprised in their hearts. The nature of the son of the world is to know the difficulties, and he does not change his mistakes, even in front of his father, the prime minister Gao Huan, he does not accept softness, and he has never repented of anyone like this.

"The prince wants to divorce his wife and marry another...... Naturally, it was because of my mistake first...... But by the decision of the son, I have no complaints. Who knew that Yuan Zhonghua would say such things in a low voice.

Before she could finish speaking, Gao Cheng stood up suddenly, a pair of emerald eyes shining with cold light. It turned out that she was still angry with him, and she didn't think about what was wrong with her. Can't she really hear that he really wants to divorce his wife and marry another? He just wants her to be devoted to him, and she is his concubine, as it should be, is she unwilling to do so?

Yuan Zhonghua looked at Gao Cheng puzzled. She really didn't understand what he wanted. She is willing not to be the princess of this world, and let him abandon her and let him marry another, isn't this enough? Why is he angry?

"What Your Highness said is that I only need a woman from the Yuan clan as a concubine, and it is not difficult to ask for a marriage, thank you Your Highness." Gao Cheng's tone was also very angry, and after speaking, he turned around and walked outside.

Ah Jiao secretly looked at the back of the prince until she disappeared completely, and sighed secretly in her heart, feeling that the general trend had gone, I am afraid that the princess Feng Yi Princess Yuan Zhonghua will really have a difficult status after this.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The Prime Minister's Mansion was much calmer, but the palace was becoming less and less quiet.

According to the secret report of Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Gao Cheng had many doubts in his heart. Transferred from Chang'an to Yu Jin, the governor of the cabinet in Luoyang Metropolis, Gao Cheng has never been very at ease with him. When Yu Jingang was transferred to Duzhong, because he was valued by the emperor and often served the emperor, Gao Cheng always wanted to find out what secret discussions were between this monarch and his ministers.

But now the strange thing is that Emperor Yuan has cultivated Taoism, and his heart is flourishing day by day, and he has avoided the forbidden, and he has gradually cut off contact with his ministers invisibly. Even Hu Sichun, Yuan Bi and others are more distant than before. The strange thing is that Yu Jinpu became intimate with Hu Sichun, Yuan Bi and others. Even in the palace, they can always find out about their secret discussions, which makes Gao Cheng a little more vigilant. also unconsciously put all his thoughts on Yu Jin.

Because Yu Jinshi is not an ordinary identity. To a certain extent, what Yu Jin represents is Yuwentai, that is, Guanzhong, which is directly related to whether Dawei will be safe in the future, and whether the Gao family will be safe in the future, which is not an ordinary trivial matter. If you guess according to this, it is very likely that Guanzhong, controlled by Yuwentai, and some of the courtiers have reached some kind of consensus. But what would that consensus be?

Even though the weather is hot and the palace is not quiet, the queen Gao Changjun can still be content to copy the "Great Nirvana Sutra" in the Jiaofang Palace. Ruoyun turned behind the curtain very lightly, thinking in his heart, it seems that for a long time, the queen only copied this scripture.

"What?" Queen Gao Changjun asked this sentence slowly, did not look up, still recited the scriptures silently in her heart, and wrote it on paper.

Ruoyun was sweating all over, only to feel that it was cold and heatless, and even the queen's voice was as cold as a stone. While replying, he said, "Your Highness, when the prince and the servant Gao Cheng entered the palace today, he and the governor of the pavilion Yu Jin accidentally collided by the side of the washing pond on the east side of the Taiji Palace, and there was a lot of unhappiness during the period. Does Her Royal Highness let people take a look? Ruoyun asked tentatively.

Gao Changjun didn't speak, put down the pen. I thought to myself, the washing pond is between the Taiji Hall and the Qingxia Palace, although it is not far from the Taiji Palace, but usually regardless of the front dynasty and harem, there are very few people who go, and it is surrounded by mountains and rocks and trees, and it is not so easy to bump into it by mistake. Why did he meet his younger brother Gao Cheng and Yu Jin so coincidentally today?

Standing up and not looking at Ruoyun, he walked to a corner of the hall, looked at the clump of orchids on several cases very intently, and asked lightly, "Does the Lord know?" "The slender hand slashed through several cases, intentionally or unintentionally.

Ruoyun replied, "The Lord must know. General Wang Sizheng was also in the palace, and the Su Guards did not move. ”

"Take a look in the dark, and don't speak, there is a change of speed." After Gao Changjun gave a minimalist order, he walked back and sat down to pick up the pen, obviously intending to ignore it.

Ruoyun didn't dare to listen to the queen's mind anymore, so she only took the order to go out.

Yu Jin, I wore a white dress today. On weekdays, he is a very stable person and only wears court clothes. Today's change makes people feel that he is rich and handsome, which is very different. Even the people in the temple and palace who usually see Yu Yu are cautious can't help but forget the rules and look sideways.

In fact, Yu Jin's appearance is really ordinary, and he is extremely measured on weekdays, and there is no outstanding thing that makes people look out. It's just that today, when I was washing the troublesome pool, I talked with Hu Sichun and showed that he was knowledgeable. Talking and laughing, he has a personable demeanor and elegant behavior, which is impressive.

Gao Cheng actually pretended not to know, and seemed to have accidentally passed by and accidentally bumped into this scene. He stared at the two men in the shade of the trees by the pool. Compared with Hu Sichun and Yu Jin, he looked nervous. It seems to be unhurried, but in fact, the strings in my heart have long been tense.

Hu Sichun is facing away from the edge of the washing pool, so he sees Gao Cheng first. He didn't speak, only gave Yu Jin a hint in his eyes. He stood still and watched what happened. Gao Cheng is not the Son of Heaven, so he doesn't need to take the initiative to greet him and pay respects.

Yu Jin received Hu Sichun's signal, but turned around very generously. Seeing that it was Gao Cheng, he smiled and shouted, "Gao Shizhong, why are you late today?" This is obviously a mockery of Gao Cheng's last time he broke into the Forbidden Garden early in the morning and tried to grab the handle, but in the end he found nothing.

"It's not as good as the Grand Duke, it's very idle. I have time to gossip here with the waiters. Gao Cheng approached quietly, but he didn't see him angry, as if he glanced at Hu Sichun unintentionally, and said lightly, "Hu Shi has only learned people, and he has always refused to accommodate others, but he talked and laughed with the Metropolitan Governor, and my heart was very different." ”

"The servant has always treated people with white eyes, only when the governor of the capital has blue eyes, strange things, strange things." Cui Jishu, who was following Gao Cheng, also smiled. Although Cui Jishu called Gao Cheng "Lord Lang" all day long, he was willing to surrender his identity. In fact, whether it is with his official position as a squire of the Yellow Gate or the family of the Boling Cui clan, he is fully qualified to sit on an equal footing with Hu Sichun and Yu Jin here.

At this time, Hu Sichun walked up a few steps, smiled slightly, and pointed to the mountain rocks by the washing pond and said to Gao Cheng, "I and the Metropolitan Governor have used this as a matter of gossip and gossip, and at this time it has come to a time, and it is about to disperse." However, I think Gao Shizhong is not interested in this. ”

There was a disdain in Hu Sichun's tone that couldn't be hidden. However, he finally said hello to Gao Cheng, and also showed that he and Yu Jin were just talking a few words, not involving government politics, and it was nothing more than a matter of prosperity. Hu Sichun and the Gao family have never been one party, and he knows in his heart like a mirror that even if he wants to change his course and defect to the Gao family, the Gao family will not accept it wholeheartedly, so he has long had the heart to raise his own way, so he doesn't need to meet Gao Cheng.

"The senior servant is not interested, but the uncle is interested, Hu Shizhong might as well talk about it, and let the uncle be helpful to talk." Cui Jishu said with a smile.

Hu Sichun had always looked down on Cui Jishu, so he glanced at him with a cold face and didn't speak.

But Gao Cheng also stared at him meaningfully.

At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air, which startled the three people who were concentrating on this side.

Gao Cheng glanced at it, and saw Yu Jin on the side suddenly pull out the sword at his waist.

Although Yu Jin had a sharp blade in his hand, he looked frank and elegant, and smiled at Gao Cheng, "Since Gao Cheng is interested, I might as well speak up." We are indeed discussing the government and praising the great prime minister's merits in upholding the country. During the conversation, he also made some remarks about the senior servants, and you first entered the court to assist the government, but I don't know if you can be as good as the prime minister? Saying that, Yu Jin actually raised his sword and danced, approaching Gao Cheng step by step.

Although it was a wide robe and big sleeves, the sword was still cold-cold.

Hu Sichun watched coldly from the sidelines.

Cui Jishu couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Gao Cheng looked at Yu Jin calmly. Although what Yu Jin said just now was disrespectful to him, it was not impeccable. Moreover, on the surface, Yu Jin really has no reason to be respectful to him.

When Yu Jin was close and seemed to be attacking with a sword, Gao Cheng suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist to echo. Hu Sichun and Cui Jishu only felt a flash of silver light in front of them. Even Yu Jin was secretly surprised that his shot was as fast as lightning, and he hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and dance to withdraw the sword.

Gao Cheng also danced against him. He wears black, also a wide robe with big sleeves, a sword comes and goes like the wind, the momentum is like thunder, and with his dancing, it is really a beautiful scene. Gao Cheng also smiled and said, "The Metropolitan Governor and I have only just met, but he cares about me so much, could it be that Brother Black Otter has something to advise?" ”

There was something in this way that Yu Jin couldn't hear it, but he smiled and said, "Since the waiter is so guessing, it must be useless for me to argue." If so, what about the waiters? This is simply a public provocation, but it is half-true and half-true, and it is not affirmatively admitted at all, it is really not suspicious at all, but it is enough to provoke Gao Cheng's anger.

At this time, both men's swords pointed at each other. Naturally, he didn't come to ask for his life, but the swords were against each other, and Gao Cheng and Yu Jin also held their swords against each other. Gao Cheng didn't get angry, but laughed and said, "It can be seen that Brother Black Otter is in Chang'an and his heart is in Luoyang, which is true." Gao Cheng smiled, used the force in his hand, approached Yu Jin, and said, "The Metropolitan Governor might as well tell Brother Black Otter that Zihui will not let him down." As he spoke, he abruptly withdrew his sword and turned away.

Cui Jishu trotted to follow, "Master Lang, Yu Jin has something to say." He said as he looked at the expression of the prince Gao Cheng.

"Staring at Yu Jin, watching the changes, Yu Wentai must not stretch his hand from Guanzhong to Luoyang." Gao Cheng said as he strode along. I was thinking in my heart, maybe it was a mistake to let Yuwentai return to Guanzhong in the first place. Who would have thought that he would lead Guanzhong and intervene in Luoyang so soon. It seems that the most worrying thing now is not Emperor Yuan Xiu, but Yu Wentai, who is far away in Guanzhong.

At this time, the two people who had been watching for a long time in the bushes a little farther also hurried away, sneaking to the Jiaofang Hall and the Yuntan Hall in the garden respectively.

Queen Gao Changjun also wore plain white clothes, and only had a pink hibiscus flower on her head. She looked coldly at the few palace people who were surrounding her to sort out her clothes, thoughtful, and her expression did not look impatient. It wasn't until the palace people straightened their clothes that Gao Changjun waved his hand to retreat, and then slowly instructed Ruoyun, "Today's weather is hot and sultry, I'm afraid there will be a heavy thunderstorm, so it's better to go to the pool to wash your worries and calm down now." So saying, he walked outside.
