"Since it is the will of the Lord, and it is a major event after the Lord's decree, it is the rule of the national ethics and common ceremony that the Lord should dictate and make the decree clear. How dare you argue here? Gao Cheng was already staring at Lin Xingren coldly. My sister will not marry into the palace. In the future, if there is something to do, please don't disturb Her Royal Highness the princess again. If you have another matter, and then spread the affairs of the palace to the ears of the princess and make her embarrassed, I will punish her severely. After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he left Lin Xingren, who was full of embarrassment, and walked away.

Lin Xingren looked at Gao Cheng's back and gritted his teeth desperately to endure it. Who didn't know that he was the henchman brought by the emperor from the Qinghe Palace. What he said must have been the emperor's meaning. Although it is a major event, it is completely reasonable to discuss this matter privately between the emperor and the future descendant. This is the great face that the emperor gave him. But today, Gao Cheng trampled on his face in front of these slaves and maids, and even said such words as "internal erection" openly when his temper came. This is already to regard Lin Xingren as a lowly slave and maid, which is equivalent to not saving face for Emperor Yuan Shanjian at all. was so domineering, Lin Xingren suddenly had a thought in his heart that he shouldn't have started.

A slave and maid had already opened the door of the palace, and Gao Cheng drove straight in. I saw Emperor Yuan Shanjian come out. Yuan Shan smiled when he saw him, and said with a smile without waiting for Gao Cheng to see him, "I haven't seen the general for a few days, and I am thinking about it in my heart, and the general will come to see Gu, which is really the same as Gu's thoughts." ”

"Minister Gao Cheng greets Your Majesty." Gao Cheng walked according to the courtesy.

"It's rare for a general to enter the palace once, and he has a long talk with the general to relieve his worries." Yuan Shan saw that he ordered someone to set up a seat for Gao Cheng, and he also sat back.

"What worries Your Majesty?" Gao Cheng sat down unceremoniously and asked directly.

"There is a great general who has no worries about foreign affairs in nature. Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, is very powerful, and the inner court is also worry-free. It's just that there is no owner yet, the general ......" Yuan Shanjian looked at Gao Cheng and said.

"Your Majesty, if Cui Jishu hears it here, he will thank His Majesty Longen. There are many talents in the Boling Cui family, and Cui Xian, the head of the Zuo Cheng Department, is Cui Jishu's nephew, and he is very useful. The ministers are entrusted by His Majesty, and have the responsibility of promoting talents for His Majesty with the position of secretary of the ministry, and should be careful not to leave out talents. The minister thinks that the person in his position does not have to be a full material, does not have to be a general material, does not have to be as virtuous as a gentleman, and does not have to know whether the road is good or not, as long as he seeks his own government in his position. As for the selection of materials and the selection of materials, it is all up to the saintliness of the lord of men. If the talents are listed in their positions, the society will be prosperous, the country will be stable, and His Majesty will not have to worry about it. ”

When it comes to talent appointment, this is something that Gao Cheng has always valued in his heart, and in many ways, this is something he must pay attention to. Today, it happened that Emperor Yuan Shanjian said that Gao Cheng thought that there was nothing to hide, so he talked about it. Of course, his theory of talent has no opinion on its own, and even strongly agrees with it. Just listening to him talk about the selection of materials and recruitment, so that it is all loyal and everything is in the sage of the master, it poked Yuan Shanjian's heart. Gao Cheng blurted out what he said, but in Yuan Shanjian's ears, it was obviously a courtier's arrogance, and what made him even more sad was that he still committed it knowingly.

Yuan Shanjian smiled, "What the general said is extremely true. The blessing of loneliness is unparalleled, and it is only with the assistance of the general that the lonely arch is governed. How will the general be, please take care of yourself, you don't have to let everything be alone. Lonely also knows the way of using materials, and entrusts the general to the society so that he will no longer be hindered. In fact, when he said this, he also raised himself, and he also knew in his heart that even if he really had an opinion, Gao Cheng might not listen to it. It's just a matter of putting it nicely at this point.

"When Cui Xian made a consultation for the ministers to open the government, he was not only negligent but also straightforward, and sometimes he did not save face for the ministers. But because of this, the minister took his loyalty, and wanted to use his position as a lieutenant in the imperial history to serve as the atmosphere in the army. Since His Majesty also praises Cui's materials so much, Chen Zheng and His Majesty have the same thoughts. Gao Cheng just said hello, in fact, he didn't care what Yuan Shanjian's opinion was, but he just pushed the boat down the river at this point. Replacing Gao Shen with Cui Xian as the lieutenant of the imperial history is a matter that he has long decided in his heart. This is not all about appointing private individuals, it is indeed Cui Xian's loyalty, honesty and prudence, and often appointing others for his own selfishness.

Yuan Shanjian didn't expect him to suddenly say such things so clearly. Besides, just now, he just voted for Gao Cheng to promote Cui Jishu a few words, and what he said was kind words. He did not express any opinion about the person of Choi Siam.

"General!" Yuan Shan was afraid that Gao Cheng would say any more, and suddenly raised his voice.

This startled Gao Cheng. I don't understand why he reacted so violently.

Motozen is a smart man. Although he no longer likes Gao Cheng in his heart, he never wants to do anything that is not beneficial to himself but harmful to the society.

"The general hasn't answered the lonely ...... yet" Yuan Shanjian saw that Gao Cheng was staring at him with some doubts, and said in a slow tone, "The kindness of the great prime minister and the general to treat the lonely is in mind. Lonely really wants to get closer to the prime minister and the general. Wouldn't it be better if they were a family and connected by blood? "The words are subtle, but they are already very humble.

Gao Cheng groaned and said with a smile, "Your Majesty and the ministers have long been one. Your Majesty's sister is the wife of your majesty, and your minister's son is your majesty's nephew. ”

Yuan Zeonmi was silent. But anger rose in his heart. He is the king of a country, and he will not be able to get it if he asks to marry the sister of a courtier.

Yuan Shanjian smiled and said, "Lone refers to the post." He finally made it clear with his own words.

"The minister's sister is young, and she is still lacking in the palace master." Gao Cheng also directly refused. Although he still has a smile on his face, his tone is non-negotiable.

Where did Yuan Shanjian know that at this moment, a faint pain had already felt in Gao Cheng's heart. is also Wei Palace, Wei Palace in Luoyang, who grew up with him since childhood, and his affectionate eldest sister Gao Changjun became increasingly estranged from him after entering the Lord's feed, and even died in the end. As soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and the person inside was completely involuntarily, and he didn't want to watch his sister repeat the mistakes of his eldest sister.

Yuan Shanjian was rejected bluntly by Gao Cheng, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "I heard that Lin Xingren, the regular servant, said that His Majesty intends to appoint the sister of the hussar general Li Zixiong as the queen. The source of these words was placed on Lin Xingren, and he completely cleared his responsibilities cleanly.

Who knew that Yuan Shanjian's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he was completely frightened, and immediately retorted sharply, "After the big event, the general must not listen to the rumors." Lone has never had such a thought. The general must have misheard, and Lin Xingren would never have said such a thing. ”

Gao Cheng felt that Yuan Shanjian was very strange today, and when he heard him say this, he said unhappily, "Your Majesty said this, do you think that the minister is talking nonsense here?" ”

"Lonely...... No...... The general said cautiously. Yuan Shanjian was simply forced to be a little incoherent by him.

"It's fine." Gao Cheng said eloquently, "Your Majesty is Shengming. Everyone knows that Li and Lieutenant Gao Shen have a personal relationship, and they actually ordered Gao Shen to abandon his wife. is so uneasy about women's ways, not worthy of the position of the middle palace. It's ridiculous and cautious, the old, and so frivolous and profligate. This person has always been willful and reckless, disloyal to the society and does not hesitate to waste chaff, and only cares about his own selfishness, which is really unbearable. ”

"General!" Just when Gao Cheng was full of praise and criticism, Yuan Shanjian suddenly interrupted him again.

Gao Cheng was extremely unhappy, staring at Yuan Shanjian and not answering. The Emperor is extremely strange today.

"I miss my sister very much, and I want to visit my sister in the general's mansion." Yuan Shanjian said softly.

Gao Cheng said lightly for a long time, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." It's just that Her Royal Highness the princess is working hard during pregnancy, and she can't listen to gossip. He suddenly remembered that in the car that day back from Zhonghuang Mountain, Yuan Zhonghua's expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

Under the sun, until Gao Cheng walked out for a long distance, Lin Xingren, the regular servant, could still see his back clearly. The back pierced his eyes for a long time. And it was so clear until far away.

The doors of the temple were closed, and there were no slaves or maids in the temple. After a moment of silence, Emperor Yuan Shanjian on the throne felt extremely tired. At this moment, a tall and sturdy figure stepped out from the heavy curtain behind the throne.

Autumn day, after noon, the sun fades. There is no candle flame in the Zhaotai Palace, which makes the hall even more gloomy. The tall and sturdy figure hurriedly approached the throne, knelt on the ground in front of Emperor Yuan Shanjian, and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty is in charge!" ”

Yuan Shanjian raised his hand weakly, in fact, he was extremely bored in his heart, but his mouth was very impatient, "Qing doesn't have to be like this, and get up and speak." Fang Caiqing also knows the situation, what power does Lone have to call the shots? The words were not explained, but the pain of the emperor being subject to the power of the ministers was vividly expressed.

"How dare you do this? Where did he put His Majesty? The minister was wronged for His Majesty. As long as His Majesty decrees, the minister is willing to clear the monarch's side for His Majesty. Gao Shen put away his tears and said angrily.

How could Yuan Shanjian not understand that Gao Shen was openly antagonistic and quarrelsome with Gao Cheng in the name of Qingjun's side. His Ming Aim Gao Shen seems to be the support of the Yuan clan, coupled with the support of the Gaomen clan who have been excluded by the selection of materials and the rule of Qing officials, it is really difficult to say who wins and who loses. But who wins and who loses? It's about the Son of Heaven, but it's just a change of power. Gao Shen took such a move, isn't his intentions ruthless? If this is the case, no matter who wins or loses, how many clansmen will suffer, and how many lives will be ruined?

Yuan Shan saw that he was disheartened, and he wanted to quickly blast Gao Shen away, so he said dejectedly, "Qing can only marry Li Zixiong's sister with peace of mind, and Gu can only do this with all his heart." ”

Gao Shen saw that the emperor's words were so weak, and saw that he was very decadent, and thanked him in his mouth, and he didn't look down on this emperor much from then on.

After that, the general Gao Cheng took care of an idle matter. It is the wife who abandoned Gao Shen, Cui Xian's sister and Cui Jishu's niece to marry into the Fanyang Lu clan as a wife. Fanyang Lu's family is from the surname Jiang of Qi State, which has been a first-class Gaomen surname in the Northern Dynasty to this day, and it is very compatible with the Boling Cui family. Although Cui's is the wife of Zai Jiao, there is a general who is the main wedding ceremony, which is really beautiful. This time the government and the opposition vibrate.

Of course, everyone who is watching is like a mirror. The general didn't care about the Cui family, but the real one who promoted the Cui family's brother Cui Xian. The deeper reasons are more subtle. Going deeper, the general promoted Cui Xian because Cui Xian was the person he fancied, and he did not hesitate to go against the gate valve for Cui Xian. This is an excellent sign for the doorman of the Great General's reserve. Everyone enthusiastically hoped to use their talents to serve the general. This is exactly the effect Gao Cheng wants.

Two layers deeper, it directly slapped Gao Shen's face. No matter how confused people are, they can see that for Gao Shen and his ilk, it is already a mountain rain that is about to come. The general is about to be unable to tolerate such a person who occupies a high position and seeks his own selfishness, and then relies on the corpse position of the gate valve for vegetarian meals.

Interestingly, when Gao Shen remarried his cousin, Gao Shen also remarried. married the sister of the hussar general Li Zixiong, and it was rumored that Li Changyi, who was going to be made queen. The Bohai Gao clan and the Zhaojun Li clan are related by in-law, and it is difficult to say what the outcome will be in the future. What's more, those who think deeply know that Gao Shen also has a very important younger brother, General Naokei. Even the prime minister Gao Huan has to treat him differently.

Just now, the sun was shining and the weather was extremely clear, and in a blink of an eye, the clouds were like ink, and it was almost as dark as night. Cui Jishu turned sideways and looked out through the gap in the curtain cage of the car, and concluded in his heart that there would definitely be a heavy thunderstorm. The momentum ahead is sufficient, which makes people worry, and they don't know when the heavy rain will come unexpectedly. Knowing that it is coming, but not knowing when it will be, is the most uncomfortable.

He turned around and looked at Gao Cheng, the general sitting opposite.

The general raised Cui Xian in a high-profile manner at the wedding banquet, and raised a few guests in a high-profile manner, which he naturally knew who to see. But he had a bad premonition, and he was quite uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade the general.

At this time, in the darkness, he could barely see the general sitting against the wall, closing his eyes and saying nothing. He is no longer the stubborn Xianbei teenager, or even his best friend Gao Zihui. Now he is Gao Cheng, the general who commands hundreds of officials and is in charge of the court. Even when he closed his eyes and pondered, he could also feel his majesty, the general was already a real man with a deep city.

Gao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What are you watching me do?" ”

Cui Jishu was taken aback, "Lord Lang...... I...... I didn't. ”

Somehow, Gao Cheng suddenly remembered when he was in Jiankang. It seemed like a memory from a long time ago. He put aside his eyes for a while, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "How is Master?" ”

Cui Jishu was a little surprised, I don't know why Lord Lang suddenly remembered this. When he came back to his senses, he thought that he had taken the opportunity to advise him, and replied, "The patriarch also warned Lord Lang not to act in a hurry. ”

Gao Cheng closed his eyes again, his body swayed slightly with the bumps of the ox cart, and said confidently but patiently, "Shuzheng, you and I have been like brothers for a long time, don't you know my thoughts." If you don't take the opportunity to get rid of the old and cloth the new this time, it will definitely be two and three will be exhausted in the future. If some things are missed, the opportunity will not come again, and it will be difficult to achieve great things. ”

Cui Jishu was a little moved in his heart, and wanted to say something but felt that his throat was choked and it was difficult to speak. Finally adjusted his mood and was just about to speak, when suddenly an extremely bright light flashed, and he saw Gao Cheng on the other side at a glance looking at him. He was as beautiful as a god, but suddenly it became unreal, like a statue of a Buddha, like a fairy figure in a mural in a cave temple. Cui Jishu suddenly felt strange in his heart. Before he could think about it, another loud bang startled him back at what he wanted to say, and it turned out to be a sudden thunderbolt. Then, the rain poured outside, and it was time to come.
