Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang came naturally to have a dynasty. The slaves and maids who followed Princess Feng Yi and Yuan Zhonghua were all polite and naturally retreated. Yuan Yuyi is still serving on the side. When Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang came in, they actually saw a beautiful person beside the prince's couch, even if they had never seen the princess Feng Yi and Princess Yuan Zhonghua before, they also knew that this frivolous and cute state would never be the princess, and both of them were uncomfortable.

Gao Cheng motioned for Yuan Yuyi to help him up, and at the same time instructed Cui Jishu to enter the palace immediately and invite the Son of Heaven to come to the Xianyang Hall to look at the court. Ordered Chen Yuankang to wait in the Xianyang Hall first. After the two of them took the order, Yuan Yuyi served and dressed and washed, and Gao Cheng left the house and boarded the car into the palace.

Quietly closing his eyes in the car along the way, Gao Cheng felt full of energy and his physical strength had recovered a lot. Who knew that as soon as he entered the palace, Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was already waiting here. Emperor Yuan Xiu was refining in the Yuntan Hall of the Inner Garden, refusing to ignore the court, only saying that the court should only ask Gao Cheng to make a decision, and would discuss and act with Yu Jin, Hu Sichun, Wang Sizheng and others. Although this was conveyed by Cui Jishu, Gao Cheng still heard the mockery. It's just that he still has some hesitation in his heart, Nanliang Chen Bing Yaowu, is such a big event really turned a deaf ear?

As a senior servant in charge of confidential affairs, this is the first time that Gao Cheng has really "decided" on important court affairs. At that moment, he ordered someone to invite the Son of Heaven to agree, Hu Sichun, who was also in the service, Wang Sizheng, the general of the Chinese army, and Yu Jin, the governor of the cabinet, went to the east hall of the Taiji Hall to discuss matters. He also ordered Cui Jishu to inform Chen Yuankang that he also went to the East Hall.

The east hall of the Taiji Hall is one of the places where the Son of Heaven discusses politics every day outside the Great Dynasty. At that moment, Gao Cheng abandoned the car and untied his sword and walked to the east hall with his attendants. Luoyang City, which is sunny day by day, has a sudden overcast wind somehow, and the temperature plummets. The wind is getting stronger, and the sand is blowing everywhere. Then the rain fell, and the wind slowly stopped, but it was so cold that it seemed to be back to early spring.

From the palace gate to the east hall of the Taiji Palace, although it is not a torrential rain, the rain is big and heavy, and it is extremely painful to hit people. When he arrived in the East Hall, Gao Cheng's clothes were also half wet. was already sick, but now it is even more embarrassing. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were already waiting at the gate of the hall in the East Hall, but none of Yu Jin, Hu Sichun, Wang Sizheng and others came. Obviously, he didn't take Gao Cheng seriously at all.

The east hall is actually the east side hall of the Taiji Palace. Gao Cheng had just ascended the jade steps in front of the hall, and when he walked to the eaves outside the hall, the rain suddenly came. In an instant, the heavy rain was like a pour, and when Gao Cheng looked outside, he couldn't see anything clearly in the rain curtain, and there was water on the ground in a moment, and from time to time he was hit by the torrential rain that fell to the ground and was full of blisters. Looking at Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang who were on standby, Gao Cheng's heart suddenly moved. The authority of the Son of Heaven is not something that can be replaced by the ministers, and without the order of the Son of Heaven, no one will listen to his orders. Even if his father was awarded the title of prince and became the prime minister of the auxiliary government, if the Son of Heaven dismissed him, no one would obey his orders anymore. Unless...... A thought suddenly appeared, and he trembled like an electric shock, but he boldly showed this thought in his heart: unless he was the Son of Heaven.

Gao Cheng suddenly glanced at Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang with sharp eyes.

Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were also looking at Shizi, waiting for him to make a decision. Suddenly, when I saw Gao Cheng's eyes as sharp as a sword, I felt my heart cold, and I didn't understand what the prince meant. Cui Jishu and Shizi are friends of the general horn, and they have always been Gao Cheng's confidants, but they can't even know what Shizi thinks at this moment. He only knew that even though this lord was still young, he was already deep in the city, and his strategy was not shallow.

Chen Yuankang and Shizi are also close friends, and they have always been loyal. Chen Yuankang has always had an idea of Gao Cheng in his heart that he will be reciprocated by the kindness of his knowledge. Gao Cheng has always respected him as a brother, and he has to meet the master of his confidant and become a brother, Chen Yuankang knows that he may not be a loyal minister to the emperor of Great Wei, but he must be a loyal friend to the son of Gao Cheng.

Just when Cui and Chen were thinking about their own thoughts, Gao Cheng had already secretly calmed down. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang admired the prince the most, and the more calm he was when he faced major events. Gao Cheng turned around to look at the rain curtain a few feet away, and then looked into the distance, and suddenly felt that the sky seemed to show some bright colors, and it seemed that the rain would eventually pass.

He slowly turned around again, glanced at Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang, and asked with a taste, "The Supreme is really leisurely, and at this time, he is still obsessed with pills, isn't the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tuoba clan as good as the pills?" This is both a question and a hint. In fact, he also had doubts in his heart, Emperor Yuan Xiu had been depressed because he had no real power. Gao Cheng also knew in his heart that Yuan Xiu was a humble man with a bent bow and ambition, why did he completely ignore such a big thing this time?

Cui Jishu thought for a while, and suddenly said, "After the Lord came back from Cuiyun Peak, he has been close to Her Royal Highness the Queen a lot recently. "Cui Jishu, as the waiter of the Yellow Gate, is still relatively clear about the affairs of Neifu. And he thinks it's a good thing.

Gao Cheng was also happy in his heart. He also understood the position of this supreme in the eldest sister's heart. If my sister is tempered and obedient because of this, she will probably not be so lukewarm to herself anymore, so that others will take the lead. This is another concern in his heart that cannot be spoken.

But he didn't discuss this topic, but glanced at Chen Yuankang, and asked lightly, "Emperor Buddha of Liang State, presumably like our Supreme, has no intention of political affairs, why did he suddenly think of raising troops to invade the country?" Isn't it misinformation? ”

This deception sounds like child's play, but Chen Yuankang is an extremely smart person, and he immediately heard the deep meaning of Shizi's words. Still thought about it very cautiously and replied, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is right to always be careful." Moreover, Lan Qin, the general of Pingnan who commanded the troops of the Liang State this time, had the courage to pull out Xiao City and break Peng City. ”

This is what happened when Emperor Xiaozhuang was young, although Gao Cheng was young at that time, he also remembered. Chen Yuankang said again, "Lan Qin took his son Lan Jing on the expedition this time, and his son is known to be strategic, and unstoppable, so the son of the world should be careful." ”

Gao Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, if I go into battle, I will capture him and make him serve as a cook all day long." ”

Cui Jishu glanced at Gao Cheng intentionally. I thought to myself, the son of the world is scheming, and he never says such things that are neither deep nor shallow.

Gao Cheng smiled again, "That's it, the Lord is not in a hurry, I don't have to wait, let's disperse." ”

The rain has stopped and the weather is back to normal. The sun came out, but it wasn't so hot for a while, but it was still quite cool. At this time, the three people under the eaves of the east hall actually saw Hu Sichun, Yu Jin, and Wang Sizheng coming over unhurriedly from a distance.

Hu Sichun in the service is the first, and he looks big. Most of the governors in the cabinet were behind Hu Sichun, with an expression that leisure was none of my business. Wang Sizheng, the general of the Chinese army who was in charge of the Su Guard, followed the two people in front of him with his head half-bowed, completely in a state of not talking about his own business.

Gao Cheng was still thinking about Cui Jishu's words just now, and wanted to go to the Jiaofang Hall to meet the queen, but at this time, he also put it aside for the time being, and stood under the eaves and waited for these three people to come over.

Hu Sichun had already taken the lead in walking to the jade steps in front of the hall. He looked up at the three people under the high eaves, obviously Gao Cheng, who was the leader, had no intention of coming down. The eaves were narrow, and he couldn't go up again, so he had to look up at Gao Chengdao, who was also a servant and a co-host, but was obviously one level higher than him, "What are you doing here?" The tone was full of disdain and mockery. Probably Hu Sichun is one of the few people in the court who dares to be so blatantly blind and not take Gao Cheng in his eyes.

Gao Cheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Hu Sichun to have such a straightforward and cold attitude, and he said slowly, "On the orders of the Lord, please come to the East Hall to discuss matters." The enemy country invaded the border, the soldiers were fast, why was Hu Si late in the service? There was a reproach in his tone.

Hu Sichun sneered, "The lord has ordered me to discuss the matter of sending troops with the Metropolitan Governor Yu Jin and General Wang Sizheng, but there is no mention of the senior servants. Why is the high-ranking servant here to hinder state affairs? ”

Gao Cheng didn't speak, frowned, he slowly turned around and looked at Cui Jishu.

Cui Jishu asked Hu Sichun, "The senior servant asked for a meeting, and the lord also had an edict, so that the senior servant presided over it, and the three of them discussed it together." The high waiter ordered someone to invite the three, how did Hu Si say that the high waiter was hindering state affairs? Cui Jishu argued urgently.

"You say yes. Since the senior servants want to get involved in this matter, we have no objections. Hu Sichun flicked his sleeves and turned to the side, no longer giving Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu a chance to talk, and put on a look that I know, why do you bother to say it again.

Yu Jin had been standing behind Hu Sichun with a smile and listening to the two waiters arguing, and then suddenly smiled at Cui Jishu, "Cui Jishu, do the Huangmen squires also want to participate in the matter of sending troops?" I came from Guanzhong, but I didn't know that this rule was in the national capital. ”

Cui Jishu couldn't answer. At this time, Gao Cheng turned around, and also looked at Yu Jin at the bottom of the stairs, and said high above, "Although it has nothing to do with the Yellow Gate Squire, what does it have to do with the Grand Duke?" "It's completely a picture of Cui Jishu being my person, the Son of Heaven is private, and I can naturally do it.

I didn't want to Yu Jin but smiled, "What the waiter said is very true. I have been ordered by the Son of Heaven to be on duty in the Cloud Temple for alchemy day and night in the past few days, and I have not been involved in the government affairs, so I just took leave from the senior servants first. As he spoke, he looked at Cui Jishu and said with a smile, "Also report to the Yellow Gate Squire." After saying that, he took his leave and left.

Wang Sizheng, who had been silent and seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly said, "Liang Guo Lanqin, Lan Jing father and son have destroyed the city all the way, since the high-ranking servants are discussing politics with great fanfare, they all listen to the high-ranking attendants, what else is there to discuss?" The tone was also full of dissatisfaction.

Hu Sichun also resigned, "The palace is overjoyed, and the Lord has an order to pay homage to the Yunqing Palace of Cuiyun Peak and the Qianxiang Temple of Longmen Mountain." The minister and General Yuanbi were ordered to make a point first. Since the high squires attach so much importance to border military affairs, they should make their own decisions. Anyway, Gao Cheng was confused and resigned.

Joy in the palace? Gao Cheng turned his head to look at Cui Jishu and asked, "What joy?" The Lord is so happy that he wants the Buddha to worship together? ”

Cui Jishu saw that Gao Cheng's expression was wrong, and he broke out in a cold sweat, but after thinking for a long time, he finally squeezed out a sentence, "Lord Lang, don't be angry, Uncle Zheng really doesn't know." ”

"You're the Yellow Gate Squire, don't you know?!" Gao Cheng shouted angrily.

"The son of the world is angry." Chen Yuankang saw that Wang Sizheng was also following Hu Sichun at the bottom of the jade steps, so he persuaded, "Don't worry, the prince. He glanced at Cui Jishu and said to Gao Cheng, "There must be something big in the palace, maybe just now, and Uncle Rong is going to ask." As for the border military, although the soldiers are expensive and fast, they can only raise troops if they know themselves and their opponents. The minister asked to check it out first, and then ask the prince to decide. ”

Chen Yuankang's words were reasonable and orderly, which calmed Gao Cheng's heart a lot, so he complied. Chen Yuankang went to find the military newspaper, Cui Jishu went to explore the inner palace, and Gao Cheng himself took people to the Jiaofang Palace. I didn't go to Jiaofang Hall for a long time, and at this time he knew very well in his heart: Jiaofang Hall seemed to be deserted, but in fact, it was really the focus of all the crux of the palace. I regret that I shouldn't be too much compared with my eldest sister and alienate my eldest sister.

Before I arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, I gradually felt that today was different from the past. Usually, the Jiaofang Hall is almost full of doors, but today it is extremely lively. A team of palace maids shuttled back and forth with everything for food and clothing, and even people from the Tai Hospital.

Gao Cheng felt more and more strange. Walking further, I had arrived at the gate of the Jiaofang Palace, and suddenly saw a very familiar person coming from a distance. When I got closer, it was actually Ruoyun, the confidant of the queen Gao Changjun, who was walking this way, and I didn't know where to go.

When Ruoyun looked up, he also found that Gao Cheng suddenly came to his eyes, and he was still preoccupied, so he immediately took it back, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "The prince came at the right time, Her Royal Highness the Queen is overjoyed, and the Lord is also in the Jiaofang Palace." ”
