Chapter 259: Jiankang Wei's envoy meets Emperor Liang (1)
Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng with joy and anger, as if there was no one around, obviously he didn't know where Shensi flew back. He whispered to himself, "As I said earlier, if the prince let the little lady know Kang Ji, it will be difficult to explain." Unexpectedly, the little lady had already left the world behind and had someone else. β
"Don't think!" Gao Cheng suddenly said angrily.
Cui Jishu thought that Gao Cheng didn't hear him, but he didn't expect him to drink it suddenly, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly defended, "If the little lady knows in her heart that the prince of the world misses her every day, she will definitely be reluctant to leave the son." Cui Jishu knew that Gao Cheng had the idea of abolishing the princess for Yang Shunhua, and Yang Shunhua was not easy to give up in his heart.
Gao Cheng recalled in his heart what Yuwentai said in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Shun Temple in Pusaka during the Battle of Tongguan. Will he lose to Yuwentai? Then I thought about it, who is this man in white? Yang Shunhua has such a cold temperament, and he will be obedient to him. This made him particularly unconvinced. The man in white is indeed outstanding, but is he necessarily worse than him?
The man in white is indeed a trustworthy man. Early in the morning of the second day, I knocked on the door of the inn. He originally thought that these Northern Koreans would push back again, and yesterday it was just a delaying measure. They may even have been thinking of running away. But he just wanted to see what the beautiful prince of the Northern Dynasty would say. In addition, it is not denied that he really wants to see him very much.
Things were beyond his imagination. The door of the pavilion opened, and he was immediately invited in. I saw the man who was as white as the dough yesterday standing in the courtyard. He was actually wearing an official uniform, and he didn't seem to be low, and he greeted him with a smile.
The white dough is polite, and since Chen is the waiter of the Huangmen of the Great Wei Dynasty, his surname is Cui Ji Shuzi Shuzheng. Then he introduced him to the Northern Dynasty general he wanted to capture yesterday, Chen Yuankang, the general of the Great Wei Auxiliary State. The man in white was amazed.
He had known that they were officials of the Northern Dynasty, but he didn't expect that they were actually Wei envoys who sent Jiankang. Liang Guo had already received the letter of state and knew that the Wei envoy was coming. I don't know the itinerary of the Wei envoys, but everyone in the country knows that the Wei envoys: the Zhongshu Supervisor, the Ministry of Shangshu, the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor, the General, the Bohai Wang's Prince Gao Cheng and the Puyang County Duke, Yuzhou Assassin Shi, and Situ Houjing will go to Jiankang to meet the emperor on the same day.
Gao Cheng and Hou Jing were both well-known figures in the Southern Dynasties. Hou Jing was scheming and brave, and he had always been one of the main forces of the Great Wei against Liang, and no one in the Southern Dynasty generals and military attachΓ©s dared to despise Hou Jing. As for Gao Cheng, it is more because the aura on his body is too strong.
Everyone in the Southern Dynasty knows that he is the son of a powerful minister of the Northern Dynasty, a young Zaifu, and now he is in a high position and involved in politics. Since the country was in power, the reform has been very fast, the strategy is strict, and no one in the Wei State is afraid. Legend has it that his appearance is better than that of women, which is also something that people in the Southern Dynasties talk about.
"The general is waiting for Childe inside, Childe, please." Cui Jishu was concise and to the point, revealing his identity, and didn't say anything else, and invited the man in white to come in. knew that he was an official of the Southern Dynasty, but he didn't ask about it.
The man in white knew in his heart that the general in Cui Jishu's mouth should be yesterday's beautiful son, but he was skeptical and not sure. was led into the main hall by Cui Jishu, and as soon as he entered the door and looked up, he saw that it was the beautiful boy sitting on it yesterday looking at him.
Today he also wore an official uniform. The official uniform is not outstanding, but because the official uniform is the same, it makes his appearance even better. Gao Cheng sat on it with a solid style, staring at the man in white, today was completely different from yesterday, no matter how he looked at him, it was not pleasing to the eye. The gaze is so cold that it can cause ice on the body.
Cui Jishu stood up and looked at Shizi's expression, feeling that it was very inappropriate. As an envoy of Wei, he should not be so arbitrary and capricious. Shizi was not such a person, but because he saw Yang Shunhua and this man close yesterday, he couldn't control himself.
The man in white knew Gao Cheng's identity, and he couldn't be as rude as he was yesterday. The following officials greeted Gao Cheng and said, "The scattered cavalry and the Qingji governor will meet the prince and general of the Bohai Sea." At first glance, the man in white was a person with general knowledge, and he knew the importance of Liang and Wei's intersection at this time.
Gao Cheng was originally full of unhappiness and was about to be picky, but suddenly heard him report his name, so he couldn't help but sit up straight and stare at the sheep bird. Puzzled, he asked, "What is the general's surname?" β
Yang Yan saw that his face was cold when he first came in, and when he saw the name of the official position, he was puzzled, and stared at him for a long time, his face was much more relaxed, but he asked again as if he didn't believe it, and Yang Yan didn't understand what the general meant.
Cui Jishu quickly reflected, lowered his head and tried his best to laugh.
The sheep didn't care, saluted again, restated the name of the official position, and then looked at Gao Cheng calmly.
Gao Cheng was cautious again and again, and then there was a shallow smile on his face, and then he asked, "The general is surnamed Yang?" The sheep of the left friend of the sheep? Then he looked at the sheep expectantly, as if he cared very much about his surname, and hoped that he was the sheep.
"The general's words are right, it is the sheep of the left friend of the sheep." The sheep seems to have a good impression of this statement of "sheep left friend". Gao Cheng's question was answered affirmatively, and Yang Yu was afraid that he still didn't understand, so he continued, "The family is an official scholar, the sheep is ridiculous, and the lower officials are rude." β
Gao Cheng looked at him intently, remained motionless and sat down, and finally heard the sheep bird say this sentence so clearly, secretly breathed deeply, and finally a stone fell to the ground in his heart. At the same time, he looked as usual, and said with a smile, "The envoy came from Yecheng, and he should have reported the itinerary to your country earlier." Just because of the greed for Guangling Qionghua, Weifu traveled privately here, and happened to meet General Yang, which is also the fate of intersection. "Gao Cheng was calm, talking and laughing, and it was like a different person in an instant." It seems that even this small wish cannot be fulfilled. β
Yang Yu smiled and said, "The general is afraid of being fetted, it is the subordinate who disturbs the general, forgive the sin." β
Gao Cheng smiled and asked, "Does General Yang have words?" β
Cui Jishu saw that Gao Cheng was very polite, and lowered his head and tried his best to smile.
The sheep crane replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Don't dare, Zipeng." β
"Zipeng......" Gao Cheng read in his mouth, looking at the sheep bird condescendingly, "Brother Zipeng, do you want to cross the river immediately, or do you and I sit down for a while and go again?" β
"If the general has nothing else to do, it is better to cross the river early according to Zipeng." Yang Yu also suggested unceremoniously, "Guangling City is small, and everything is inconvenient. Since Zipeng knew that the general's honor had arrived, he should escort the general to cross the river safely to Jiankang. Zipeng is Liang Chen, this is Zipeng's internal business, and the general's safety is on Zipeng at the moment. He thought about it again, "My lord ordered the eldest prince Linhe to meet him by the river. In the past few days, the king of Linhe County has not dared to slack off, and has been waiting for the news of the general. Yesterday, the sister came from Jiangnan, saying that another Wei envoy Puyang County Duke had arrived in Jiankang, and was waiting for the general to be honored with the king of Linhe County. β
It turned out that Hou Jing had crossed the river to the south of the Yangtze River and had reached the outside of Jiankang City. There was no news sent, did he really not know that Gao Cheng and his party were in Guangling?
Cui Jishu's heart instantly became chaotic again, and he couldn't wait to go to Chen Yuankang to discuss immediately. He always felt that there was selfishness between Hou Jing and Xiao Zhengde. This general suddenly came to Guangling, so if he found Chen Yuankang accurately, could it also have something to do with Hou Jing?
Gao Cheng heard in his heart that Hou Jing had arrived, and Jiankang immediately burst into flames. Obviously, Hou Jing didn't have him as a righteous envoy in his heart at all, and he didn't regard himself as his deputy, so he met with Prince Liang first. But on the surface, he was calm, as if chatting, and asked, "What, Brother Zipeng still has a sister?" β
Yang Yu didn't hide it, and replied, "The woman outside the pavilion yesterday was Xiaguan's sister, and she was escorting Princess Liyang, the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince, to see Qionghua. β
Gao Cheng's heart was completely enlightened. I secretly thought that he didn't see Xiao Qiongju yesterday, maybe it was in the temple. It is also conceivable that Yang Shunhua has always been inseparable from Princess Liyang.
Cui Jishu glanced up at the sheep bird, and listening to his tone, he didn't know anything about Shizi and his sister at all.
"In this case, don't embarrass Brother Zipeng, just cross the river." Gao Cheng finally relented.
On a spring day in the south of the Yangtze River, the shore of the river is bright green. The river breeze is slightly cool, for northerners like Hou Jing, Jiankang is already a little too hot at this time, but the river breeze is refreshing.
"Brother, brother." Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, couldn't hide the smile on his face. He called cordially, walking to Hou Jing, who was standing on the riverbank. I don't understand why Hou Jing is so greedy for this scenery. "How is spring in Jiangnan? My brother won't be here for a long time. Xiao Zhengde had a somewhat ostentatious tone.
Xiao Zhengde is beautifully dressed and beautifully decorated. He is determined to let the people of the Northern Dynasties see the demeanor of the Southern Dynasties. In his heart, or in the hearts of a large part of the people of the Southern Dynasties, there is always a little bit of disdain for the rudeness of the people of the Northern Dynasties. In fact, I don't know, the minds of the northerners and them are each other.
Xiao Zhengde went to Jiankang several times and suffered a lot of humiliation from Gao Cheng, and he felt that it was all because he was a guest. Finally, I hope that Gao Cheng will also send Liang Guo on behalf of Wei to be a guest secretary, and he must try his best to make up for the humiliation he has suffered.
Hou Jing heard his call, immediately turned around, and also smiled with a smile on his face, "The beauty of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the abundance of things and the people, is enviable." "There's something in his words." If you can make a wish, I would like to live here for a long time and share it with my second brother. I hope my second brother will help me. After that, he looked at Xiao Zhengde eagerly.
"This is natural, natural. I'm afraid that my brother is not willing to live for a long time. Xiao Zhengde was overjoyed.
Hou Jing held his hand, "How can you not want to." β
At this time, suddenly an entourage rushed to the front and told him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.
Xiao Zhengde and Hou Jing were both a little surprised, looking at each other, Xiao Zhengde asked puzzledly, "What is the prince doing?" β
Hou Jing didn't speak, and looked in the direction pointed by the entourage, and sure enough, the car was faintly visible. He motioned to Xiao Zhengde, and the two of them went to see the prince Xiao Gang together.
The crown prince Xiao Gang is a gentle and peaceful person, and without waiting for Hou Jing to meet him, he asked polite words such as "the road is far away, and the saddle horse is tired", which is already very condescending.
Without waiting to ask, the prince explained to them what he meant. It was said that Emperor Liang had been reported, and Gao Cheng, the general of the Wei envoy, would come to Jiankang today and ordered him to meet Gao Cheng.
Hou Jing and Xiao Zhengde responded on the surface, smiling correctly, but they were not happy in their hearts.
Hou Jing was unhappy because, for some reason, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang valued Gao Cheng so much this time, and actually ordered the prince to greet him. Hou Jing knew that Emperor Liang obviously didn't like Gao Cheng in his heart. It seems that the identity of children is still valued. Hou Jing secretly scolded "Xiao Yan's husband is cunning" in his heart. On the surface, he still flattered the prince Xiao Gang, praised the prince's humility, and actually used the status of the prince to be high and low, which really moved the Wei envoy and must have contributed to the good of Liang Wei. This statement not only praised the prince, but also exalted himself.
Xiao Zhengde was unhappy because the emperor knew better than him, who made the emperor appoint the crown prince so quickly? The prince's status is higher than him, so he naturally respects the prince. He could only follow the prince step by step, and he was immediately disheartened. Xiao Zhengde was not happy in his heart, and immediately his expression was sad.
The prince didn't care too much about the changes in Hou Jing and Xiao Zhengde's joy and anger, so he just strolled to the riverside and looked at the north of the river. The emperor told him that the Wei envoy would definitely come today, and Xiao Gang was very strange in his heart. It's just that he is not used to getting to the bottom of it, and he has always been used to listening to his father's orders.
Xiao Zhengde was still sharp-eyed, and he was the first to see a building boat, and a dinghy escort came to the shore, and immediately felt that it was extraordinary, and hurriedly pointed it out to Hou Jing. Hou Jing is also expected to be Gao Cheng's building boat. The prince's entourage pointed out like this, and the prince also saw it. The three of them looked at the building boat from far and near in different moods, waiting for Gao Cheng to land.
The boat slowly docked, and Prince Xiao Gang took a few steps with curiosity in his heart. I remember a few years ago, the young man who broke into Tongtai Temple, and later he learned that this young man was the eldest son of Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Northern Dynasty, the king of Bohai, and the prime minister of the Great Minister.
At that time, the memory was blurred, only remembered that he was abnormally beautiful, bold and daring, he had no bad feelings for this young man, and it could even be said that he still had a good impression. Later, he learned that this name was Gao Cheng, and the young man with the word Zihui became the Zaifu of Dawei, and he still felt that it was very commensurate. When I heard about his governance of the country and the army, I also praised him in my heart as a minister who governed the world, and I had a good impression. I don't want Gao Cheng to come today as an envoy of Wei to form an alliance between the two countries, thinking about the appearance and temperament of this young man at this time, I don't know what it has become.
The first to come down from the boat were the free riders and the generals. The sheep bird was not wearing an official uniform, and his face was calm, not like what Hou Jing expected, but as if he had come specially for the escort, meticulous and thoughtful. Hou Jing stared at the sheep bird, hating that this person didn't get rid of Chen Yuankang for him, and it seemed that he was subdued by Gao Cheng.
Hou Jing hated Chen Yuankang even more at this time, and he also knew that in addition to Chen Yuankang, Gao Cheng was a sibling.
Xiao Zhengde glanced at Hou Jing and didn't speak.
The prince naturally knew the sheep and looked behind him. Cui Jishu, Chen Yuankang and others walked out of the building one by one. Finally, I saw a young man in an official uniform, and he walked out calmly. Its beauty is indescribable, and it is indeed the boy he had seen years ago.
