Chen Qian was not questioned by Gao Cheng, but smiled instead, "This is ridiculous, the general is the minister of the pillar state of the Great Wei, and he forms an alliance with the Great Liang on behalf of the Lord of Wei. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Liang is naturally His Majesty the Emperor's words. Since my lord made an alliance with the general, and His Royal Highness the King of Xiangdong went to Yecheng as a proton, does the general not believe in Emperor Daliang, does not believe in the king of Xiangdong, but believes in others? ”

Chen Qian asked rhetorically, but Gao Cheng was not frank.

Xiao Yi felt a little more relieved, glanced at Chen Qian, and appreciated him in his heart. Chen Qian understood his hardships. He is here on behalf of the Great Liang, how can Gao Cheng not value his weight as the king of the county?

"General, it is not enough for the young people to provoke behind His Majesty's back of the emperor, but I am afraid that his intention to destroy the alliance of Wei Liang is the real danger. My lord has made it clear that those who bully the king are plotting rebellion, and those who betray the alliance are the great enemies of Liang and Wei, and the general can use his troops to destroy them in one fell swoop. But it is useful, and Da Liang is willing to help the general to clear this trouble, and will not push it away. Between Chen Qian's unhurried and generous speeches, Liang Guo not only did not have any responsibility, but became an innocent, and pushed the matter to Gao Cheng without a trace, but became Liang Guo's help to Wei Guo.

Gao Cheng choked in his heart, but he didn't look angry anymore.

Xiao Yi saw that Gao Cheng didn't look angry, and he thought that he would not endanger himself again, so he relaxed a little. thought in his heart that it was actually a good thing that he could dodge Jiankang's open guns and arrows in Yecheng. He is a proton at this time, so he can only manage his relationship with this Wei minister, and if he wants to return to Jiankang in the future, he will also go back to the scenery, and he must not return as a proton and be bullied in vain.

Chen Qian could see that Gao Cheng's face was pale, and he must have felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng with a smile on his face even though he didn't laugh.

Gao Cheng glanced at Xiao Yi, and then smiled at Chen Qian, "His Majesty Emperor Liang is a good Buddha, and this has been the case in recent years. It seems that he is too busy to take care of himself, and he can't even control his own people. Although he did not say it, the eagerness of the substitute manager was about to come out.

Chen Qian only thought that Gao Cheng was quick to speak for a while, and he didn't take it seriously, so he went with him and didn't refute it anymore. He knew in his heart that Gao Cheng was suffering a loss, and in his opinion, he was pitiful and lovable, so he didn't care about him. Anyway, his responsibility is only to state the facts, and to protect the alliance of Liang Wei and His Highness the Seventh.

"The alliance of Liang and Wei was personally signed between His Majesty the Emperor of Liang and me, and the Great Wei naturally only knew that he obeyed the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of Liang, and did not know that there were others." As he spoke, he got up from the bed. "If they are brothers, what do they divide one another?" Gao Cheng laughed, making it unclear who and who his so-called "brother" was referring to? Or is it Liang and Wei?

"Since Emperor Daliang doesn't know that someone has betrayed the alliance and begged for Dawei, how can Dawei stand by and watch without brotherly righteousness?" Gao Cheng walked down and said with a smile, "Brother Zihua told His Majesty Emperor Liang that Great Wei is willing to make an alliance with Great Liang Yongshi, and only one sentence must be passed on: Liang is in chaos, and Wei will save it." If I raise troops to quell the rebellion, His Majesty Emperor Liang must not forget what he said today: If you want to help me, you can't carry it. If Emperor Liang protects his shortcomings at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust. ”

Chen Qian also got up and said with a smile, "The lower official must pass on to my lord." ”

Gao Cheng glanced at Xiao Yi, who got up and left the table to see him off, and said with a smile, "Brother Shicheng is a distinguished guest from Yecheng invited by Zihui to Jiankang, and he is like a treasure to me. Regardless of the alliance of Liang and Wei, it is also my friend and like-minded, Zihui does not dare to treat him lightly. He smiled meaningfully.

Xiao Yi said, "The general said this, Shicheng is really scared. ”

Gao Cheng walked outside with a smile, then turned back and smiled, "Why bother, why do you have to do this......"

Xiao Yi glanced at Chen Qian, who had already been sent outside.

The banquet in the Wei Palace had already begun.

There are many feasts and drinks, and there is nothing too exciting. The wine and food will be tired, and the light songs and dances have become a thing of the past.

Not only Emperor Yuan Shanjian, but everyone in the Zhaotai Hall looked a little absent-minded.

From time to time, Wang Yuanhui of Jibei kept an eye on Situ Hou Jing, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor. Hou Jing was obviously closer to the emperor. Since the Battle of Pishan, the ministers and workers in the temples of Yecheng have known that Hou Situ has become the emperor's new favorite. The king of Jibei was both expectant and jealous of him.

The sound of the piano and the chirping has never stopped, and it is easy to ignore the dispensability. In a dazed state, the servants in the hall were a little numb to watch the dancers in the middle of the hall in front of them dance and couldn't arouse any interest, only knew how to drink mechanically.

The only person in this hall is Rouran, the son of the world, who is anxious. Although he didn't hide his intention to return to the Rouran Royal Court, he didn't know how he let the emperor know so quickly. And the emperor was so attentive that he specially summoned him to the palace. Isn't this urging him to hurry up? What does this mean exactly?

The secret agreement between Bald Tujia and Gao Cheng is only known to him, and it is impossible to tell others. And he also knew that he probably knew more about these mysterious things behind the scenes than the emperor and other courtiers. The emperor was in such a hurry to let him go, could it be that he was suspicious of him? What's more, I'm afraid it's going to be bad for Xiao Langjun.

Bald Tujia was anxious because Gao Cheng hadn't entered the palace at this time, what was it that stumped him? He subconsciously looked at the emperor and was whispering to Hou Jing. The smile is very intimate, what are the two people talking about?

Lin Xingren, the middle attendant standing behind the emperor, had been vigilantly staring at the door of the Zhaotai Palace. There was no movement for a long time, and at the same time, he was sensitive to find that the emperor was talking happily with the prince of the county, so he quietly approached, and took the opportunity to scoop the wine with a spoon, in fact, he was listening to the content of the conversation.

Emperor Yuan Shan saw that he was holding a feather in his hand, and smiled at Hou Jing, "The county prince has been in the capital for a long time, but he is still used to living in it?" He glanced at Lin Xingren, and smiled at Hou Jing, "Hou Gong, but if you need anything, you can order the regular servant to do it." ”

Hou Jing turned around and faced Yuan Shanjian, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty's grace is so deeply gracious and virtuous, so that the minister has nothing to repay, and only by being willing to work for Sheji and His Majesty can he repay His Majesty's kindness." ”

Hou Jing's respectful appearance made Yuan Shanjian quite useful, laughed and drank it all, and then leaned over to help Hou Jing who was close to him. smiled, "What do you want Hou Gong to do?" Hou Gong has a sincere heart, how can he be willing to let Hou Gong be willing to smear his brains? Hou Gong really treats loneliness, and the ministers of the real society are also, there are many places to rely on in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while. ”

Lin Xingren glanced at Yuan Shanjian's face, smiled and said to Hou Jing, "As long as the county prince is in the capital at this time, let some people have a taboo, that is, the protector has merit." He didn't know that Hou Jing was clear-minded, but he was afraid that Hou Jing would not understand the emperor's thoughts, so he reminded Hou Jing self-righteously.

Hou Jing knelt up straight, with a look of loyalty, "Zhongchang is telling a joke, right?" There is peace in the capital, and it is useless for the lower officials to be in the capital. has been in the mansion for a long time, His Majesty has been generous every day, and the minister has been reborn. At present, Nanliang is under heavy pressure, and the minister is willing to raise troops for His Majesty to fight again to repay His Majesty's kindness. Then he bowed to the ground and prostrated his head.

As Hou Jing expected, he only heard the sound of the piano and the laughter of the ministers who were so far away that it seemed that they were not by his side at all.

"Hou Gong, please get up." Finally, Emperor Yuan Shanjian reflected. He didn't deign to help him again and again, and reluctantly let Hou Jing straighten up in a gentle voice.

When Hou Jing straightened up, he found that not only Emperor Yuan Shanjian and Zhongchang attendant Lin Xingren were facing him, but even King Yuanhui of Jibei didn't know when he came over, and his expression was extremely concerned. There was also a Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin looking at each other from behind.

"Qing said that Liang Guo was heavily armed, but is it true?" Yuan Shanjian's face had already changed, and he asked again.

Hou Jing pretended to be honest and replied very seriously, "Liang Guo Jianwei's general Lan Jing sent troops to Sizhou on the orders of Emperor Liang, and was ready to attack at any time across the Huaishui River in Pingyang, doesn't Your Majesty really know?" His expression was even more bewildered.

Then he said, "The general has already gone to Lin Quanshe to question King Xiangdong, the seventh prince of Liang, and ordered him to write a letter to Emperor Liang to ask for the reason. The general must have been afraid that the Lord would panic and be anxious, so he wanted to understand the reason and have a way to deal with it, and then came to the Lord again. ”

King Yuanhui of Jibei glanced at Emperor Yuan Shanjian, and had an expression of surprise.

Hou Jing replied, "The Lord doesn't have to worry, the Liang Envoy has already arrived in Yecheng, and he is in Linquanshe." Presumably, Emperor Liang sent him to state his reasons to the general, and he might withdraw his troops within a few days. ”

Hou Jing's words caused a shock again.

Yuan Shan saw that his body leaned forward suddenly, he couldn't hold it anymore, and blurted out, "Liang Envoy has entered Yecheng?" How many things are left to hide? ”

Hou Jing knew that there was no need for him to speak anymore at this time.

"Your Majesty, the covenant was made between the general and Emperor Liang. Since the general has done this on his behalf, it's not good to only take the credit and not take the blame, right? Sure enough, as Hou Jing expected, Yuan Hui began to pick thorns.

"Your Majesty, if there is a danger on the border, I will report it to the general, but I will not report it to Your Majesty; Emperor Liang sent an envoy to explain his reasons to the general, and did not come to see His Majesty. Does the world still know that there is an emperor in Great Wei? Didn't Da Wei become a great general? Lin Xingren endured it for too long, and at this time he really couldn't help it, and with Hou Jing's excuse, Yuan Hui added fuel to the fire, and Lin Xingren also tried hard to provoke Yuan Shanjian's anger.

Yuan Shanjian ignored them, and suddenly asked Hou Jing, "Why did Nanliang raise troops to invade the territory without a reason?" How did the county prince know that the southern envoy had arrived in Yecheng? ”

This question was too sharp, and Hou Jing also trembled in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the emperor still had such a shrewd side. He may have been facing people like Xiao Zhengde for too long and relaxed his vigilance. It seems that the emperor in front of him is not such a manipulative person.

"Your Majesty," Hou Jing was full of loyalty, "the minister is a military minister, so he naturally pays more attention to military affairs on weekdays." Liang Guo has always loved to take advantage, although he has no big ambitions, he tends to make small profits. It was precisely because of the rumors that King Gao died of injury and illness, and it was probably this news that reached Jiankang that Emperor Liang had the idea of taking advantage of the situation. It seems that the original alliance was just a trick by Emperor Liang to tease the general, and the general also fell for Emperor Liang. Your Majesty will never be able to see the responsibility of the general. ”

He paused and said, "Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Why was the general not summoned to enter the palace? It was in Linquan House that I saw the southern envoy, so I didn't have time to enter the palace to see Your Majesty. Trapped at home and abroad, where does the general still have the heart to feast now? He sighed as he spoke.

Hou Jing's words completely shocked Yuan Shanjian. In fact, Hou Jing also did it intentionally, he looked at the emperor with his eyes, and he looked unassertive.

In fact, in Yecheng, it is just rumored that King Gao was injured and sick. Although Yuan Shanjian felt that something was wrong, he didn't expect Gao Huan to be really safe. In Hou Jing's description, it became that King Gao had "died of injury", and Nanliang actually raised troops to invade the territory so quickly for this. This is worth thinking about, if this matter is not a little true, doesn't Liang Guo have a person with a fine and deep mind, just rely on a few rumors to commit the attack? And from Yuan Shanjian's point of view, it is precisely because of this that the truth of Gao Huan's news is proved from the side.

He suddenly turned his head and swept over the large number of ministers in the hall who were still in a drunken dream, and sure enough, he didn't find the person he was looking for, so he quickly turned back to Lin Xingren and asked, "What about Taiyuan Gong Gaoyang?" ”

Lin Xingren was stunned, turned his head and asked the eunuch behind him.

Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang complained of illness, saying that he did not dare to serve His Majesty with illness. But the strange thing is that the Duke of Taiyuan went to the Jiaofang Palace to see the queen.

Yuan Zeonmi was silent. After all, the queen and Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang are twin brothers and sisters.

Bald Tujia was originally a shrewd person, he couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and called his Rouran servant, told him in a low whisper, and ordered him to hurry up and find Cui Shilang. He could now almost conclude that the emperor and the clan were suspicious of the great general, and it would be disadvantageous. He glared at Hou Jing hatefully. Even if it wasn't because of Gao Cheng, Bald Tujia himself had no way to have a good impression of this Puyang County Prince.

Gaoyang Wang Yuanbin was actually not that far from the seat of Jibei Wang Yuanhui, but strangely, he never came up.

"Your Majesty, since the southern envoy is in Lin Quanshe, instead of letting the general meet the southern envoy alone, it is better for Your Majesty to be kind and announce that the southern envoy enters the palace. His Majesty met the southern envoy in the Zhaotai Palace, which was a favor to the southern envoy, and also allowed the southern envoy to see the majesty of the emperor of Great Wei. In the future, he returned to Jiankang to preach, and also let the southerners know the demeanor of the emperor of the northern country. Lin Xingren seized the opportunity to come up with an idea.

"Your Majesty. It is inevitable that the general will have too many heavy responsibilities and have no time to take care of it. In front of him, Hou Situ is a loyal minister and a good general, which can not only be a pillar stone for His Majesty, but also help the general share the labor, why not reuse it for Your Majesty? The minister heard that Lord Liang had been obsessed with Buddhism for a long time, and his national strength was declining, so he dared to take advantage of the situation to rob and attack. If Hou Situ could retreat from the southern soldiers in one fell swoop, wouldn't he know that there were many Great Wei Liang generals, and more than one general could be used, and it also made Emperor Liang die of the idea of taking advantage. "Jibei Wang Yuanhui also came up with an idea.

Yuan Hui's vision is still deeper. He is bent on assisting Yuan Shanjian to get rid of Gao's troubles, and he can do almost anything. was so mad that he hit Hou Jing's idea. After Da Da, he took the opportunity to stay in Yecheng, ostensibly following Gao Cheng's intentions, but in fact, he also wanted to keep it for his own use.

Although Yuan Hui didn't think that Hou Jing was a good person, he had no choice at the moment, and he had no choice but to use Hou Jing, so he didn't have time to think about it. Yuan Hui also discussed with Yuan Shanjian in private, and the plan for now is to help Hou Jing, indulge Hou Jing, give him power and give him Lilu, and then watch him and Gao Cheng fight each other until they lose both, then it's time.

Yuan Shanjian's expression also eased, and he commanded, "Hou Gong's heart is lonely, and he is really a lonely pillar minister." Gao Wang has been in Jinyang for a long time, and he is afraid that he will rely more on Hou Qing in the future. He wanted to take advantage of Hou Jing's thoughts.

"Your Majesty's grace, the minister will not dare to live up to it." Hou Jing's heart is bright, but he is grateful to Dade on the surface.

Yuan Shanjian was satisfied, and ordered someone to go to Lin Quanshe to invite the southern envoy and the general to meet him in Zhaotai Palace. So Lin Xingren got busy.
