Chapter 306: Flowers Float Away (2)
Yuan Zhonghua was silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf she is not abolished as a princess, the Great Wei will not be a country? Her husband has no place to stand in the court, and he has no reliance on fighting for the world with Xikou. The chaos in the world is treacherous, is this all something she can decide? What she saw in front of her was already intolerable to her. She couldn't see him hurt like that.
"My lord, I am willing to ask for resignation." Yuan Zhonghua looked up at Gao Huan without hesitation. There was no tear on her cheeks, and she said a word lightly, as if relieved, as if she was really relieved when she said it.
"Nonsense!" Gao Cheng finally gathered enough strength to reprimand Yuan Zhonghua angrily. She still has his child in her belly, and she wants to ask for her own abolition. If he allowed this matter to continue like this, Yuan Zhonghua would have only a dead end.
Gao Cheng supported himself and knelt straight towards his father, "My son will never abolish her, can Dawei Sheji only rely on a weak woman to support her?" ”
Gao Huan ignored Gao Cheng.
Yuan Zhonghua glanced sideways at her husband, and tears fell like rain again.
"The princess doesn't have to worry, the son born to you is still the general's son-in-law, and he will naturally be raised by his mother in the future." Gao Huan said this to Yuan Zhonghua, and it was also said to Gao Cheng.
Yuan Zhonghua's heart was already so relaxed that she didn't have anything to worry about, and replied lightly, "Okay." Thank you for your kindness. She actually smiled with tears in her eyes.
What a big deal, she didn't even ask a word, as if she wasn't worried about anything. Gao Cheng grabbed Yuan Zhonghua's arm and looked at her in disbelief.
Ah Jiao came up and knelt beside Yuan Zhonghua and supported her. The fear in her heart was deeper than anyone else's.
Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan behind Gao Huan, finally took a deep breath slowly, and suddenly felt satisfied in his heart. He helped Moonlight to stand up and whispered to her, "The princess has been wronged, and Qing can come to appease the princess in a few days." ”
Moonlight looked at him puzzled and didn't speak. Since he knew that Yuan Zhonghua would be wronged, why did he try to get the prince to abolish the princess before?
"King Gao!"
"Father!"
Two slightly shrill voices came one after the other, breaking the tense silence. Everyone's eyes looked behind the great prime minister Gao Huan and at the place where the voice came from.
At the turn of the corridor, surrounded by a large crowd of people, it was actually Emperor Yuan Shanjian and Empress Gao Yuanjun who came in a hurry. By this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the heavy rain was gradually subsiding, but the light rain did not stop. It is really strange that the emperor and empress left the palace so early and came to the general's mansion together.
Gao Cheng frowned. No one came in to report, and the emperor and empress just broke in. It seems that it is time to govern the family well. Who exactly sent the message? Why did all the people rush to his General's Mansion together today as if they had made an appointment, just to force him and Yuan Zhonghua into a desperate position together?
He was very reluctant to be seen by Yuan Shanjian in this embarrassment. He even saw an imperceptible smile on the face of his sister Gao Yuanjun, who had already rushed to the front. The smile made his heart stiffen in the cold.
Prime Minister Gao Huan was really a bit surprised. He slowly turned around and faced Yuan Shanjian, and quietly blocked his son Gao Cheng behind him. When he faced Yuan Shanjian, his face was already calm, and he even smiled slightly. "Why did Your Majesty suddenly descend?"
Yuan Shanjian had already seen Gao Cheng kneeling on the ground, his hair was messy, one side of his cheeks was obviously red and swollen, his mouth and nose were full of dried blood, and he was wearing only a middle coat on his body, which was also muddy and bloody, and footprints could even be clearly seen on his chest. In an instant, he had imagined countless scenes in his mind. Every imaginary scene can make his blood boil.
"King Gao......" Yuan Shanjian cried when he saw it. It's like meeting someone close to you.
Gao Yuanjun stopped behind her husband Yuan Shanjian and did not step forward. She is also a smart person, and when she sees the scene in front of her, she can understand that before she came, her father and brother were already in a big battle. If it is just to abolish the queen or the princess, it should be unlikely. Thinking about it, she felt that it was because the intervention of the Rouran forces in the Great Wei court would lead to subtle changes in the imperial family and power that were originally difficult to maintain.
The unity of the three fathers and brothers is that they must maintain the power of the Gao family. The difference is that his father Gao Huan has to take care of the balance condensed by everyone in the Gao clan, including relatives, former ministers, sons and nephews, and the confrontation between the Gao clan and the emperor and the clan. What her father hoped for was that her eldest brother Gao Cheng would be in line with him, and it would be better to do exactly that.
However, the eldest brother himself had to change in the process of consolidating the power of the Gao clan. Since joining the Ye Auxiliary Government, the eldest brother has indeed struggled. If you don't change the Yi Gao clan for a long time, you will die, and if you change the big brother, you will be jealous. When it comes to the disagreement between the abolished queen and the abolished princess, the various contradictions accumulated in the past must be concentrated in one point, and Yuan Zhonghua has to bear it. Because Yuan Zhonghua's victory is the temporary balance between the two parties represented by the ministers and the Son of Heaven, and they can each keep safe. And if Rou Ran Gong gains power, this balance will be broken.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuanjun almost felt a little sympathetic to his eldest brother Gao Cheng.
Of course, this balance is only for a moment. She didn't want to be a victim of the struggle between the Son of Heaven and the ministers, and she didn't want to become her eldest sister, Empress Yongxi, Gao Changjun. She had to keep herself. She knew that her father had high hopes for his eldest brother in his heart, and he must have preserved it. And the current scene shows that there is no agreement between the father and the eldest brother, and even there is a big disagreement, so the father is angry about this.
Gao Yuanjun is very measured in his heart. At this time, she already understood that her father wanted to keep her position as queen, and hoped that the eldest brother would abolish the princess so that she could accept the Rouran forces and firmly control them in her own hands. But why didn't the eldest brother refuse? If he could make such a decision just to consider the gains and losses of the princess Yuan Zhonghua alone, Gao Yuanjun really didn't believe it in his heart.
The eldest brother must abandon the disadvantages of the Gao family in order to make the Gao family abandon the old and establish the new and become stronger and stronger. But this in itself is contradictory, which will make the Gao family stronger and stronger, and the eldest brother himself may not be beneficial, and in the end, it may just be to marry others.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuanjun unconsciously glanced at his second brother Gao Yang. Her second brother doesn't have to do anything, just wait.
The thing Gao Yuanjun knows most in his heart is that her worries can be relieved.
Emperor Yuan Shanjian was surprised and disappointed in his heart.
Yuan Shan saw that he was well-dressed at this time. He was originally very beautiful, no less than Gao Cheng, and at this time, it seemed that the emperor was full of majesty, and the general was not very embarrassed.
"The elder brother of the great general Ruogu, the father of the high king Ruogu. Lone and the queen were married for a long time, and they fell in love with each other. The queen has no fault, and she really can't bear to abandon it. Yuan Shanjian was already in tears when he said this, completely ignoring his own sister and kneeling behind Gao Huan.
Ah Jiao helped Yuan Zhonghua up.
Gao Cheng finally had the strength to stand up.
Gao Yang was already relaxed, and was helped to stand up by the moonlight.
Gao Yuanjun also lowered his head and sobbed at this time.
"The king of Gao can't see the general, the general is dedicated to the society. It's not the general's fault that it's hard to be thoughtful. Yuan Shanjian couldn't cry anymore.
Yuan Shan saw that a little farther behind him, among those eunuchs and palace maids, Lin Xingren, the middle attendant, understood why the emperor was crying most in his heart. It's really because of the disappointment. He has followed Yuan Shanjian for many years and knows best what the emperor is thinking. Finally, there was this opportunity, and the lord wanted to use the power of Rouran to make the imperial family stronger, so that he could secretly increase the strength to compete with the ministers. But seeing that as soon as King Gao came back, and now it was this scene again, he must have made this idea go down the drain, how could he not cry?
Lin Xingren secretly glanced at Gao Cheng, and the tragic situation made him extremely happy. I was also surprised in my heart, King Gao was really ruthless to the general, as if he was going to put him to death. He saw Princess Feng Yi next to him at a glance, Yuan Zhonghua. suddenly thought, if Gao Cheng really has something, maybe the princess will have an accident in a hurry. If the princess has an accident, such as losing a child or something, will Gao Cheng be in a hurry?
Lin Xingren was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard Yuan Shanjian crying, "Since King Gao is back, it is up to King Gao to preside over the overall situation." The general is a kind-hearted person, who has raised the eldest princess for many years and can't bear to be wronged. The eldest princess is also Lonely's younger sister, and if she remarries in the future, she can also ask the general to choose a reassuring concubine for the eldest princess, and she will not be perfunctory. ”
Yuan Shanjian's words coincided with what Gao Yang said just now. Because of repeated repetition, almost everyone thought that the truth was so: in fact, the general was reluctant to give up his unborn son-in-law. It's just that the princess has been raised by her side since she was a child, and she is afraid that she will be wronged if she marries again. Everyone knows that the general has a lot of favors in the inside, and there is also an outer room, and no one would have thought that he could devote himself to a certain person. Not to mention dedication, not even a special pet, the rain and dew are evenly divided.
Yuan Shanjian said while crying, it was tantamount to deciding this matter. He didn't even look at his sister Yuan Zhonghua from beginning to end. Gao Yuanjun had been bowing her head and sobbing in a low voice, her heart was extremely happy, she actually wanted to raise her head to see what the expression on the eldest brother's face was.
And except for Yuan Zhonghua, the most heartfelt is the moonlight. She didn't expect that Yuan Zhonghua was the eldest princess and the general's concubine, and she was actually like a wanderer, uncertain with the wind. was forced to be divorced on her own behalf, and she had to watch others talk about letting her remarry. What did she say about finding another colt captain, her colt lieutenant Gao Cheng was standing beside her at the moment.
Gao Yang didn't pay attention to what mood the moonlight was in at all. He was all about Yuan Zhonghua at this time, staring at her belly.
Lin Xingren couldn't help but smile secretly, and even admired the Lord in his heart. not only showed his dependence on Gao's attitude, but also ignited a fire in Gao Cheng's heart without a trace. Now everyone understands that the Lord treats King Gao and the general as father and brother, and he is deeply grateful to the queen.
The messy scene in front of him, is it all the fault of the great general Gao Cheng?
Gao Cheng glanced at his father Gao Huan who was standing in front of him, he took a few steps to the side, and slowly walked to the front of Yuan Shan's meeting.
"Your Majesty is serious. Let His Majesty laugh, the ministers are always anxious to raise their children, and sometimes it is inevitable to lose proportion. Gao Huan replied to Yuan Shanjian lightly.
At this time, Lin Xingren suddenly discovered that in fact, since the emperor and empress came in, everyone had not greeted him. He sighed heavily.
"The minister's concubine is His Majesty's own sister. Since His Majesty regards the minister as a brother, how can the minister bear to abandon His Majesty's sister? Gao Cheng suddenly said lukewarmly to Yuan Shan.
Yuan Shanjian didn't expect the attitude of Gao's father and son to be so cold, and there was no uproar as he imagined.
Gao Yuanjun was already satisfied in his heart. She knew that her father couldn't do anything to her eldest brother, and she was just punishing her behind closed doors in private, and her father loved her eldest brother very much in his heart, and would not allow her husband, Jun Yuan Yoshimi, to intervene in the conflict between their father and son.
Yuan Shan didn't know what to say, and his eyes swept over his sister Yuan Zhonghua. I saw that her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was scattered and messy, and she was wearing a man's robe, which must have been Gao Cheng's, and she was barefoot. Looks like he was already in a big mess before he came. He secretly regretted that he had come late.
Yuan Zhonghua listened twice to Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang and Emperor Yuan Shanjian saying the same thing. They all said that it was because her husband Gao Cheng pitied her and grew up beside him since she was a child, so they were afraid that she would be wronged if she remarried. She couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, she just felt like a dream. Her heart was already full of hope, and her body was stiff and cold. And the only person who has always been by her side and feels sorry for her is Ajiao.
At this time, seeing that the emperor's eyes were constantly scanning her, Yuan Zhonghua said absolutely, "The lord doesn't have to worry, I have already made it clear to King Gao that I am willing to ask for a divorce and let the general marry again." The Lord, the king, and the general need not think of me, and I will never marry again. As long as I can get a temple to live in, and then serve the Buddha for the rest of my life, I will be grateful. ”
Yuan Shanjian was choked by these words and had nothing to reply.
Gao Huan glanced at Yuan Zhonghua very carefully. Before coming to Yecheng, Yuan Zhonghua grew up in the Bohai Mansion in Luoyang, and Gao Huan hadn't noticed that this imperial princess was so stubborn. But seeing that her expression is indifferent, it doesn't look like she is angry, and it is estimated that because she has never been favored, she doesn't care. He knew very well what kind of temperament his son Gao Cheng was, and he never believed that his son would have any dedication. But he also saw it today that his son was indeed like what Emperor Yuan Shanjian and his second son Gao Yang said, "compassionate".
Gao Yuanjun was also shocked by Yuan Zhonghua's words, forgot what to do, and raised his head to look at Yuan Zhonghua.
Only Gao Yang felt that his heart was like a mess.
Moonlight also glanced at Yuan Zhonghua in surprise.
Only Ah Jiao's heart hurt like a knife, and she almost burst into tears.
Gao Cheng turned his head sideways to look at Yuan Zhonghua. Yuan Zhonghua didn't look at him.
"Lord, my father has just come back, he must be tired, since the wind and waves are calm, Your Majesty will go back to the palace first." Gao Yuanjun persuaded.
Yuan Shanjian also felt that it was indeed inappropriate to stay any longer, so he comforted the prime minister Gao Huan a few words, and then went back to the palace with the queen Gao Yuanjun.
At this time, Gao Huan and Gao Cheng's father and son remembered to bow and kneel.
