To say that Liang Guo Chen soldiers are at the border, Gao Cheng is not too surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 To his surprise, the day came much sooner than he had imagined. What shocked him the most was that his father King Gao was still alive, but he was injured and sick, which caused such a big shock, which shows the importance of King Gao himself.

Although the news can't be covered and spreads quickly, what worries Gao Cheng even more is: Once his father Gao Huan is safe, what kind of shock will it cause in the world? Will he be able to hold it down?

"Who is it?" As he walked towards the carriage, he asked Chen Yuankang in a low voice without a trace.

Gao Cheng is very concerned about who the person who comes, this person is very important, and he can see Emperor Liang's attitude.

"General Jianwei Lan Jing." Chen Yuankang saw that Gao Yang's carriage had already traveled far away, and he was also looking over here, so Chen Yuankang only said these words and didn't say anything more.

Gao Cheng didn't speak. He had already walked to the carriage, but did not board it. Tell the cangtou slave to lead the horse. When I turned around, I saw that Li Changyi had already walked over with the support of the two palace maids, so he motioned for her to get in the car.

The horse was led, Gao Cheng jumped on the horse, and the whip of the horse disappeared in an instant. Chen Yuankang originally came on horseback, and he also followed Gao Cheng on the horse. Gao Yang's carriage had already sent Li Zu'e back, and he also got on a horse and headed in the direction of Dongbaitang. He wasn't in such a hurry.

Li Changyi watched Gao Cheng's back as he got on the horse, and didn't get into his carriage until she disappeared. For her, from this moment on, everything about her was about to change.

The eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua actually arrived at the gate at this time. She got off the chariot and didn't see Gao Cheng, only saw Li Changyi get into Gao Cheng's carriage, and the carriage went in the direction of the General's Mansion.

It's been a long time since so many people have gathered in Dongbai Hall. Or never. Gao Cheng returned to Dongbai Hall and went straight to Minghe Hall. Not only Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang, Youcheng Chen Yuankang, but also Taiyuan Governor Shi Yangsu, Metropolitan Governor Gao Yue, Huangmen Waiter Cui Jishu, and Imperial Lieutenant Cui Xian are all here.

Several tree lamps in the Minghe Hall are all lit and stand under the walls and in the corners of the houses. In addition, there are bronze lamps and blue glaze lamps that can be placed at any time and can be picked up and moved at any time. Coupled with the brightness and warmth of a few roaring braziers, the Crane Hall is almost as bright as day.

On this midwinter night, the north wind is howling outside, and the layout in the hall is warm and cozy. With so many people together, there is a special sense of excitement. There were many people in the hall, and one was deeper than the city, and no one was full of anxiety, but they all smiled, as if they were really gathering for some great event.

Gao Cheng had already changed out of his crown robe, with only a moon-white ribbon tied in his hair bun, and a moon-white robe on his body, painted with light cloud patterns. Such a light color makes people feel a lot more relaxed in the dreary midwinter, and it makes his lips red and white, and his complexion is pink. Compared with the sacrificial clothes just now, there is less heaviness and solemnity, and more peace and stability.

Gao Cheng sat down on the big bed by himself, in fact, he was really tired today. Everyone else was still standing, and no one dared to sit down first before the general sat down. Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the few people standing, and as soon as he found Gao Yue, he smiled and said, "The Metropolitan Governor comes up and sits." ”

The general did not call his own brother Taiyuan Gong, but called Gao Yue to sit together, which is really surprising. Even if Gao Yue is the uncle of the clan in terms of seniority, when did the general put which relative in his eyes? Uncle Gao Guiyan of the Cane Clan; His uncle Kudigan stood outside the door for three days; punished his uncle Wei Jing as a sword...... Is there less of a high degree of this kind of thing?

Changshi Yang Su secretly glanced at Gao Cheng, and walked behind the same person with a slight smile.

Only Cui Xian's face was cold, and everyone else looked as usual.

Gao Yue approached and sat down in thanks. "Today's palace banquet, the general must be tired. It was getting late, and the general had summoned us with such great interest, but what was the joy? ”

Gao Yue knew everything in his heart, but it was so eye-catching, which showed that he was also well-intentioned. It's not enough to be discerning, but at least the mind is good. He is Gao Yang's person, and Gao Cheng knows it. Gao Yue did this, and he was comforted enough in his heart. I even felt encouraged for a moment.

The rest of them all sat down one by one, and when they heard Gao Yue say this, they all looked at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng leaned slightly on a large hidden sac very casually, as if he had just remembered it, and instructed the slave maid to present the peach wine from the Western Regions stored in Dongbai Hall.

I didn't expect the general to be so interested, as if there was some great joy. For a while, even Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu were confused. Only Yang Su has always been calm.

"What's the joy of the eldest brother?" Gao Yang took the peach wine in the glass cup, and eagerly drank it first and then asked.

Gao Cheng played with the translucent reticulated glass cup in his hand, looked at the red wine inside, only looked at it and didn't drink it, suddenly felt bitter, looked up and smiled, "Hou Niyu also knows that he is worried about the country and the people." Bishan defeated Xikou, and Zijin made my Great Wei soldiers in Hebei Kuohu, which was really a great achievement. Everyone in the Great Wei Dynasty is like my disciples, so why worry that the Western Thief will not be destroyed?! After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he drank all the peach wine in the glass cup, which made people feel that his heart was full of pride for a while.

Gao Cheng had never praised his younger brother so much in public, even if everyone sitting here was close to his confidants, he felt incredible.

Only Gao Yang was full of smirks, and he couldn't hide it.

Gao Cheng motioned for the slave to pour the wine again. He suddenly left the crypt and straightened up, stood up with the glass cup in one hand, his slender fingers firmly gripping the glass cup, he did not walk, his feet were light and slightly swaying, and he walked in front of the seats of everyone in the Minghe Hall one by one.

There was a slight hazy drunkenness in a pair of green eyes, with a kind of complacent ambition for success. There was a smile full of confidence on his face, and even a hint of empty eyes. Even the slaves and maids felt that the great victory in Bishan made the lord of Lang like two people. It was precisely because of the great victory that the great general had great self-confidence.

"General Changyou's new news," Gao Cheng swept over everyone with a smile as he continued to walk slowly past everyone's seats. "The lord of Nanliang didn't know what he was thinking, and he actually provoked at the border." To put it mildly, it is obvious that he doesn't take this matter to heart and doesn't take Nanliang in his eyes.

Yang Yu clearly heard Gao Cheng say "the lord of the Southern Liang State" instead of the "Emperor of the Southern Liang". He really couldn't help but pay attention to Gao Cheng carefully, and he couldn't stop being surprised in his heart. In the past few years of joining Ye Fuzheng, he has been so proficient that he is so proficient. Subconsciously looked at Gao Yang again, Yang Su couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After all, the axe and chisel marks are too heavy.

Everyone here is a smart person, I heard Gao Cheng say that Nanliang Chen Bing Yaowu at the border, some people know and some people don't know, but everyone can see that Gao Cheng is ready to have something to say, and the focus is not on Nanliang Chen Bing, so no one dared to take it, and they all waited for the general to say it.

However, everyone can be a smart person, but only one person cannot be a smart person.

Sure enough, Gao Yang was already angry, and said angrily, "The arrogant people, take advantage of the danger of others, why don't the generals destroy them in one fell swoop?" "In that case, it's like destroying the Liang Kingdom. And the words "taking advantage of people's danger" are particularly piercing to say at this time.

The people in Dongbai Hall knew the news of King Gao's dying in their hearts, and they all hung up at this time, and it was almost certain that Gao Cheng would be angry with Gao Yang. The general beat Taiyuan Gong out of anger, and the scene where Taiyuan Gong was covered in injuries and almost lost half of his life is not something that no one has ever seen.

Sure enough, Gao Cheng stopped in front of Gao Yang, he stared at Gao Yang condescendingly, and Gao Yang knelt straight and looked up at his brother. Gao Cheng slowly lifted the glass cup in his hand, and drank the peach wine in the cup. He casually threw out the precious glass cup.

The glass bowl slammed against the wooden floor with a shocking thought, and then there were a few sounds of "bones" rolling out, and the treasure disappeared somewhere. What is amazing is that the glass cup has not been broken, it is still intact, and there is no glass slag on the floor.

Just when almost everyone thought that the general was going to be angry and the Taiyuan Duke was going to be unlucky, Gao Cheng suddenly laughed. And before others could reflect why he was laughing, Gao Cheng had already stopped laughing, leaned over and pulled Gao Yang up, pulled Gao Yang and smiled at everyone, "Yes, Zihui just doesn't want to take advantage of people's power." Nanliang ignored the fact that Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, the seventh prince, was still in Yecheng as a proton and rashly moved, but it was just a child's play, and he would not dare to attack with heavy troops. Or Emperor Liang has not yet known. If Great Wei used his sword and soldiers lightly and defeated Liang like Xikou, wouldn't it damage the covenant to send protons? Let everyone in the world think that Da Wei is untrustworthy? ”

Gao Cheng's words were almost like seeing blood when a sword came out, pointing straight to the point. Almost everyone forgot that Xiao Yi, the son of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang, was still in Yecheng. Logically speaking, Emperor Liang should not be so eager to advance lightly. Thinking of this, the oppressive and uneasy atmosphere seemed to settle down immediately.

Gao Cheng looked around at everyone, and there was no smile on his face. "I advise you not to take anything lightly. The major affairs of the country of soldiers are related to life and death, how can they come with their mouths open? The first war is very easy, and with the strength of my country, it is not difficult to destroy the Western thieves, nor is it difficult to break the beam. But after the army, it is difficult to recover, have you ever thought about this truth? What the Great Wei wants is the stability of the world and the prosperity that the common people yearn for, not the poor and the weak people. The way to govern the world is difficult to open up the territory and expand the road, and the ideal must be understood by all the princes better than Zihui. ”

Gao Cheng said a pair of green eyes as he swept over everyone one by one carefully and slowly.

Gao Yue couldn't help but be the first to stand up, "The general has the world in mind and has far-reaching knowledge, I can't wait." ”

Chapter 14: Internal Troubles and External Insults

"You said that if Xiaolang was still alive, what would be the scene in this house now?" Yuan Yuyi suddenly asked. She tilted her head sideways, not letting the light shine into her eyes.

Ti Nu smiled, "If Xiaolang is still here, how can the general still let the lady stay in Dongbai Hall?" and they will be brought back to the house. ”

Ti Nu suddenly smiled, and she saw a tear slowly sliding down her cheek in Yuan Yuyi's silhouette. Under the not bright light, Yuan Yuyi's side face is extremely beautiful, and her skin is as smooth and moisturized as a beautiful jade carving.

He didn't even ask. Yuan Yuyi's voice was very soft and authentic, but her tone was as cold as condensed ice.

Tinu was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to comfort her. After thinking about it, he lowered his voice, "There are also the king and princess of Jibei." ”

Yuan Yuyi sneered, "It's just using each other, do you think anyone really cares about me?" To each his own, I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. She paused, gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaolang's revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be blind to death." ”

Ti Nu felt a chill on her body. "Ladies don't have to be like this, there will be children in the future."

Yuan Yuyi turned her head, her gaze was like a sharp blade, "The general will have it, but I won't." ”

Half of the people in the Minghe Hall left, only Gao Cheng and his henchmen remained. It didn't seem crowded just now, but now it's more deserted. Gao Cheng motioned for Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, and Cui Xian to sit together on the big bed.

The peach wine and glass cup are all gone, and they are replaced by Mengding tea. Cui Jishu, who was sitting next to Gao Cheng, had already smelled the wine on him. He looked at Gao Cheng carefully, and at this time he could no longer see that he was still drunk.

In addition to being drunk, Gao Cheng's eyes are calm and calm, which makes people understand that he is sober at a glance. Those green eyes were exceptionally clear.

"Brother Changyou," Gao Cheng put down the tea he had slightly sipped, "Who else is there besides Lan Jing?" ”

"Where did the Emperor of Southern Liang send someone to fetch it?" Cui Xian couldn't help but also asked Chen Yuankang after Gao Cheng. In a hurry, the tone was not very polite.

Cui Jishu stared at Cui Xian.

"General Hui, only General Jianwei Lan Jing, no more than 10,000 soldiers." Chen Yuankang glanced at Cui Xian, then turned to Gao Cheng and said, "I am only in Pingyang, Sizhou, and I have not moved lightly. ”

Sizhou, Pingyang, is on the south bank of Huaishui, across the Huaishui and Yuzhou of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and then to the north is the Shangdang important land. Sizhou is in the west of Jianghuai, in the southeast of Tongguan, the fortress of the Western Wei Dynasty, and is a good place to wait and see and plot a few places. Emperor Liang sent troops here, which shows his old scheming.

"What is Emperor Liang's intentions?" Cui Xian seemed to be muttering to herself.

"Who are you asking?" Cui Jishu finally couldn't help but say angrily, "You went to ask the general instead?" ”

"The soldiers have not moved lightly, and they have stopped waiting, it is not like they have the intention of entering the country for a while, but they are ready to move, does Emperor Liang really ignore the fact that Qilang is still in Yecheng as a hostage?" This is exactly where Chen Yuankang is entangled.

"Perhaps, Emperor Liang didn't know about this?" Gao Cheng simply said what he thought. There are only henchmen here, and there is no one else, so he has no scruples.

"Who is the enmity of Emperor Liang?" Chen Yuankang felt that the more he thought about it, the more flavorful it became.

"It's not an enmity with Emperor Liang, it's an enmity with the general." Cui Jishu hit the nail on the head.

"Yang Kan?" Chen Yuankang was the first to think of this person.

"It's not Yang Kan, this person doesn't care about Emperor Liang's prince, it must not be Yang Kan's doing." Gao Cheng has a solid grasp of this. He glanced at Cui Jishu, "After the wax day, the New Year is approaching, the lord will have a generous gift to the prince of Liang State, you can go up on behalf of the lord to reward." The Seven Princes have lived in Yecheng for several months, and I have been busy with military affairs, and finally won a great victory over Xikou, so I should also visit the Seven Princes, and you can give me a generous gift of their treasures, and say that I will visit them in a few days. ”

In fact, Gao Cheng didn't have a shadow in his heart about who was secretly doing it, but even in front of his henchmen, he was unwilling to easily say it when he was not sure. Qilang Xiao Yi naturally knows more about Liang Guo's internal background than him, Liang Guoxing is in danger, Xiao Yi is a thoughtful person, and he will not tell him at this time for his own safety. Only when you say it can you talk about the conditions.

Princess Rouran, Yu Jiulu, has been staying in the General's Mansion these days. Ever since her brother Bald Tujia made things clear to her, Moonlight's mind has become clear. Frankly speaking, when she first saw Gao Cheng by the Zhanghe River on the outskirts of Yecheng, she didn't feel anything unusual.

But at that time it was just a sense of strangeness, and nothing else. And this strange feeling was diluted before it had time to ferment, because it was soon the wedding ceremony for King Gao to marry the princess. It was also at the wedding ceremony that day that Moonlight was surprised to find that the prince Gao Cheng was very interested in the princess.

Later, she vaguely knew that in fact, her brother Bald Tujia was bent on marrying her to the prince Gao Cheng, and tried to force Gao Cheng to abolish the eldest princess Yuan Zhonghua with both soft and hard methods. And the reason why she married Princess Gao was actually just a result of retreating. The discovery of this incident made Moonlight feel an indescribable unwillingness in her heart.

What Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu said to her before he died, she had long since given up the idea of being a queen, so she would never go to Chang'an again. Now that she really wants to get a person who loves each other wholeheartedly, how can she be willing?

It's not that she doesn't have a little affection for King Gao, but it's up to her, and she is a princess of Rouran, so she understands what it means to be involuntarily at this time. Whether it's said that she is a worm barbarian, there is no reason for the Rouran people to start from the beginning. And King Gao's so-called favor for her is only for the sake of the face of the friends of the state. I'm afraid King Gao can't help himself, right?

Moonlight has been living in this courtyard, and has not gone out for many days, and no one has visited. However, the princess Yuan Zhonghua once ordered Ah Jiao to visit and asked the princess why she didn't die where the princess was? Presumably Yuan Zhonghua is sincere, and when he thinks of her, Yueguang has a very complicated emotion in his heart. We can't be together as we used to be.

I don't know if it's the reason, but Yuan Zhonghua didn't send anyone to come again, maybe she knew?

Gao Cheng, this person who was unknown to Moonlight for a while, had never been here once

Moonlight knew that his elder brother's son, Bald Tujia, was still in Yecheng. It's not that he is not in a hurry to return to the Rouran Royal Court, but he is really not worried about the situation in Yecheng. Of course, it's not just that she doesn't worry.

It's not that the moonlight is in the courtyard of this deep mansion in the General's Mansion and doesn't know any news.

With the north wind howling, Peach Rui walked through the wandering courtyard and looked at the dim yellow light in the room.

It's very warm in the house. Although it can't be as extravagant as the house where the princess lives with glass windows, at least everything else is the same. I heard that the house where the concubine lived was the same as the queen's Jiaofang Palace.

"Princess, the princess is back." Tao Rui saw Moonlight sitting on the big bed, playing with a few golden pills with her hand, and walked over to reply.

It was too cold outside, and when I entered the warm room, I felt that it was very cold outside. Taorui's face was red from the cold, and her hands were numb. She couldn't help but raise her hand to breathe hot air on her lips. "One more thing, don't be angry when the princess hears it."

Moonlight immediately turned her head, and the words caught her attention.

"The princess came back with the general's carriage." Tao Rui looked at the moonlight with sharp eyes, and she didn't dare to say it.

Moonlight is different from Taorui's old lord, Princess Luoying. Luoying's power is on the surface, and others are not afraid of her. And the power of moonshine is terrifying. At least that's what Peach Stamen thinks. Because of this, Taorui feels that compared with Luoying, Moonlight is a more reliable master, and the slave maid feels promising and secure with such a master.

Moonlight only stared at Tao Rui and didn't ask anything. She knew she wouldn't have to ask Taorui to say it.

"The general didn't come back, and in the general's car was Mrs. Li, who was just given to the general as a concubine by the Son of Heaven." Tao Rui said with a little timidity.

For a moment, the moonlight was bright in his heart. She doesn't like to be ambiguous, but she has to be placed here so inexplicably. Suddenly, something flew from the sky and Mrs. Li became Gao Cheng's concubine, and she even hated Wei Tian in her heart.

But she smiled suddenly.

What Mrs. Lee? Even Princess Huashan was not shot by her with a golden pill in public, what is so special about this Mrs. Li?

"What about the princess? Did you place her? Moonlight asked Taorui.

"The princess has already gone back. That Mrs. Li was left out in the cold and ignored in the hall. Tao Rui replied truthfully.

"It's none of my business, don't worry about it." Moonlight got up and got out of the big bed, ready to go to bed. At this moment, she suddenly remembered King Gao. I thought of Bodhi and Asu, the two fun little Langjun.

When the princess Yuan Zhonghua returned home, it was dark. In the palace, I feel extremely slow and long, and I am so tired that I am almost exhausted. Yuan Zhonghua hurriedly glanced at Bodhi and Asu, who were already asleep, and prepared to go to bed. I don't know if it was because Gao Cheng was summoned to dance that day and suffered from the cold or because of forbearance, Kang Ji has been sick and good these days.

Yuan Zhonghua had already laid down the bed tent on the couch, and only then did a slave and maid come to report that the concubine Mrs. Li who had been rewarded by the Lord was still in the outer hall and had nowhere to place it. Ah Jiao thought that the slave maid called "Mrs. Li" was not pleasant, so she changed her name to "Li Ji". This Mrs. Li's back house in the General's Mansion has been the same as any concubine, just a concubine, and there is nothing unusual about it.

After listening to Ah Jiao's report, Yuan Zhonghua asked in surprise, "Hasn't the general come back yet?" She thought Gao Cheng had come back together.

The slave replied that the general had gone to Dongbaitang.

Yuan Zhonghua lay on the couch and didn't get up, only ordered, "Wait for the general to come back and settle down." ”

When she heard that she was unhappy, she let the slave go out first.

"If Your Highness doesn't want to, let her live farther away. But throwing it in the outside hall and ignoring it like this doesn't look like a mistress. After all, it is the Lord's reward, and it is inconvenient for the Lord Lang to refuse. Ah Jiao persuaded Yuan Zhonghua through the bed tent. Her voice was soft, she sounded very useful, and her words were indeed true, Yuan Zhonghua couldn't help but listen.

Yuan Zhonghua turned over in the bed tent, her eyelids were already sour, and she couldn't open them immediately, so she hastily ordered, "You go and settle down." Then he didn't hear it. Thinking of it in a haze, today in the Jiaofang Palace, her brother Yuan Shanjian and her husband Gao Cheng have come and gone, and the scene is vivid, and Gao Cheng seems to be a last resort.

The mansion of the Duke of Puyang County is not very conspicuous in Yecheng. And Hou Jing has been bound in this mansion since he returned to Yecheng. Emperor Yuan Shanjian's reward was really rich, and eunuchs came and went to the palace and the county mansion almost every day.

The mansion of the general of Wuwei, Hou He, was not here, and he also came to visit his father almost every day. Although since the death of his biological mother, Hou He and his father Hou Jing have been obviously estranged, but this time Hou Jing returned to Yecheng and praised him in heaven, Hou He found that his father was hot.

This made him particularly interested. In his heart, the so-called general is not the power of Gao Cheng's father to jump from a gentleman to a powerful minister with a heavy handle on the national weapon. His father Hou Jing is now no less than King Gao, if the whole world of Great Wei can become Gao's, then why can't Hou's family replace him?

Hou He entered the county mansion with hope. The servants still respect this eldest prince, after all, Hou He also has an official position, although he can't see that his father is important. The young son of the county prince has always been regarded as a hostage before, but he is stupid by nature, so whether it is King Gao or the general, he does not take Hou Jing's stupid son to heart. Even Hou Jing himself is the same.

The slaves and maids of the county mansion have never seen the lord of Lang value the personal affairs of his children, and they are quite indifferent to their sons. The lord of Lang is not a woman, but he used to have affection for his wife. If you really have anything to love, only wealth and power.

Hou He cursed in his heart for the cold weather, and went through the doors to his father's study. Although no matter how cold the weather is, it doesn't hinder him, but he has this kind of temper, and he is always resentful in his heart.

It was quiet in the study. With the lights on, Hou Jingzheng sat in front of his bookless desk and read a silk book. Hou Jing is strategic, and he is born to be good at soldiering, he doesn't like to read, and he doesn't like any poetry and songs. He read so engrossively that he barely noticed when Hou He came in.

This letter was sent by Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County in Southern Liang. Xiao Zhengde and Hou Jing have always maintained close contact. Even Hou Jing knew about the Southern Dynasty's dispatch of troops to Pingyang, Sizhou earlier than Gao Cheng. Xiao Zhengde's letters were sent very frequently, although Hou Jing did not often reply to him.

Xiao Zhengde had already revealed to Hou Jing the news of Liang Guo's troops. Xiao Zhengde was actually proudly showing off to Hou Jing. No one expected that Nan Liang's sudden move all stemmed from this "great prince".

Gao Huan fought with the Western Wei Dynasty, Yubi was injured and sick, and the news reached Liang Guozhen, which attracted the attention of many people. Xiao Zhengde is certainly one of them. Others are very worried, so they are calm, and because of this, they dare not move lightly, but Xiao Zhengde is the opposite. He thought that Gao Cheng was worried about it at this time, what would happen if he added external troubles?

For Liang Guo, it is not a bad thing to take the opportunity to probe it. For Xiao Zhengde himself, he is naturally willing to see Gao Cheng find trouble. Moreover, in order to show his identity as the "eldest prince", it is not a bad thing to set up some obstacles for Qilang Xiao Yi, who is far away in Yecheng. So who will help him with this? (To be continued.) )
