Emperor Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren, who followed him, saw the ox cart stop, and Chen Yuankang approached the window again, obviously replying. Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren watched all this with great interest, and they also wanted to know what Gao Cheng's reaction would be.
After a long time, I finally saw Chen Yuankang open the curtain and half-help the general Gao Cheng to walk down from the car. Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren hadn't seen Gao Cheng for a long time, and they were all staring at him at this time, paying attention to his every move. Gao Cheng's braided hair was scattered and a little messy, probably for the comfort and casualness of being in the car, and he only wore hakama pleats.
Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren both felt that Gao Cheng was not as radiant as he looked before, and he didn't know if it was because of the lack of emotion in the defeat, or because he was injured and in poor health, or both, his expression was a little gloomy. The excitement in Yuan Zen's eyes flashed. Subconsciously thought: It turns out that you will also have frustrations? Such a discovery made both Yuan Shanjian and Lin Xingren a little excited.
Knowing that Shizi's injuries had not healed, and he was very tired from riding a horse for several days, Chen Yuankang did not dare to let go completely. Gao Cheng pushed him away and walked towards Yuan Shanjian. Chen Yuankang had already seen that the prince was not good-tempered, and he didn't dare to leave after him.
Seeing that he naturally didn't catch up, Yuan Shan stopped and stood up, watching Gao Cheng approach him step by step. Gao Cheng is a casual and willful person. At this time, the evil fire jumped up, and he deliberately did not want to hide it anymore. From the defeat of Tongguan to the defeat of Shayuan, including all kinds of negative qi in the battle with Yuwen Black Otter, all came to mind at this time. There are also difficulties in punishing corruption, grievances suffered, and the calculations of Yuan Shanjian and Jibei Wang Yuanhui and other clans concealing their calculations from him, all of which clearly appear in his mind.
Yuan Shanjian saw that Gao Cheng was obviously full of unhappiness, and knew that he already had anger, but he didn't care, and even wanted to see if this lawless prince of the high king really dared to go against the sky. If this is the case, then it will be easy to do, and if he does more injustice, he will reach himself, and this is his own loss of providence, so he can't blame others.
Gao Cheng walked faster and faster.
"Shizi!" Chen Yuankang felt that something was wrong, and whispered behind him.
Gao Cheng turned a deaf ear.
Chen Yuankang had to hurry up to follow.
Gao Cheng had already walked in front of Emperor Yuan Shanjian. Even Chen Yuankang, who was behind him, saw the emperor's white clothes and plain clothes, smiling at the corners of his mouth. At this moment, Yuan Shanjian is an elegant and dignified son of a family, and Gao Cheng's clothes are tattered, haggard, and embarrassed.
However, when Gao Cheng stopped before Won-sun met, he calmed down. Anyway, he is the emperor of Great Wei, and he is just a courtier, he can't do anything to him. What's more, he is also the elder brother of the princess Yuan Zhonghua.
Gao Cheng's heart was extremely depressed for a moment, and he could only try his best to suppress it, "Your Majesty is in the suburbs, and Chen Cheng is grateful." After saying this, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at Yuan Shanjian, and for a moment, somehow remembered what he saw in the ancient tomb of Bishan, the ghostly Yuan Shanjian, and the hatred in his heart was almost about to explode.
Yuan Shanjian didn't expect Gao Cheng to dare to look up at him suddenly, and he didn't bow to him as a courtesy. The undisguised unhappiness in those emerald eyes should be shown to him? Isn't he the emperor of Great Wei? Even his father, King Gao, was much more humble than him.
"Chen Cheng is injured and it is inconvenient to salute. Since Your Majesty is so considerate of his ministers and welcomes the opposition in person, he must not bother with his ministers about these small things, right? Gao Cheng couldn't suppress it, and expressed the unhappiness and dissatisfaction in his heart in a reluctant and respectful tone.
He doesn't even care about the courtesy?!
Yuan Shanjian was not happy anymore, and his complexion changed suddenly.
"The general's words are wrong, is the name of the monarch and minister a trivial matter in the general's heart?" Lin Xingren, the regular attendant, saw that the lord was displeased, and knew that with his identity, it was not good to deal with Gao Cheng about this matter, so he began to teach Gao Cheng a lesson.
Lin Xingren thought that Gao Cheng would be ashamed of his defeat, but he didn't expect to dare to be so provocative. He thought that Gao Cheng was rude and would not dare to resist, so he was particularly upright, thinking that this was a good opportunity to dispel the general's arrogance.
Gao Cheng glanced at Lin Xingren, his gaze was extremely cold. It turned out to be a eunuch standing here and talking to him, full of the etiquette of a monarch and a minister. He had long seen that this Lin Xingren was not pleasing to the eye, and he also understood in his heart what he had done, but he didn't want to deliberately deal with a eunuch as a Lang master, for fear that he would lose his identity.
"Since the eunuchs know the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, don't they know the dignity and humility of the upper and lower?" Chen Yuankang stepped forward and asked Lin Xingren sharply. He knew the hatred in the heart of the prince, and he also knew that it was inconvenient for the prince to openly lower his status to teach Lin Xingren a lesson. He also longed to get rid of this filthy person as soon as possible.
Gao Cheng didn't stop Chen Yuankang, and swept his gaze back to Yuan Shanjian's face.
Yuan Shanjian also looked coldly, glanced at Chen Yuankang, and then looked at Gao Cheng and asked, "It seems that the general is indeed injured a lot, and the general's subordinates even dare to teach Lone's Zhongchang Servant a lesson, presumably because the general doesn't take Lone as the emperor in his eyes, right?" ”
Up and down, Yuan Shanjian felt that it was because of Gao Cheng's rudeness. In the past, he did not dare to let himself vent his dissatisfaction in his chest. But isn't it true that the more indulgent he is, the more domineering he becomes?!
"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. Whether there is a Son of Heaven in the eyes of the minister's subordinates depends on who the Son of Heaven regards as the courtier. Gao Cheng fought back with a sharp tongue. He wasn't originally a person who was given by mouth, but when the evil fire was gone, he really couldn't help it. What's more, he really didn't take Yuan Shanjian, the son of heaven, in his heart.
"The general is right, depending on the minister, the minister will return the king. is alone as an emperor, and it depends on whether the courtiers have exhausted the way of being a minister, so as to know whether to treat them like siblings or as mustard. He stared at Chen Yuankang, "Is the general injured, is you also injured?" ”
Chen Yuankang suddenly realized that he was too nervous just now, only focusing on the prince, and he himself forgot to bow to the emperor and bow to the emperor, even the people who followed him were all like this. Because of his temporary loss of honor, the emperor felt that the general supported the army and respected himself, and did not take the Son of Heaven in his eyes.
Chen Yuankang was shocked when he heard the emperor's questioning, and at this time, he knelt down and bowed, and the people behind him naturally did the same.
Gao Cheng didn't say anything and looked at Yuan Shanjian.
Yuan Shanjian regained a little face, and his color was a little dark.
But Lin Xingren said again, "The general can't yes, don't want to?" He thought that Chen Yuankang and the others had succumbed to courtesy, and Gao Cheng looked obviously unhappy, let alone indulged him.
If Lin Xingren didn't say this, maybe the matter would have stopped. He is too talkative, Gao Cheng can't suppress the evil fire anymore, his unhappiness always has to find an outlet for catharsis, even this eunuch dares to anger him again and again, and he immediately exploded into anger.
"Fuck it!" Gao Cheng shouted angrily, he strode up and grabbed Lin Xingren's collar.
Everyone present was shocked that the general dared to exert such authority in front of the Son of Heaven.
Lin Xingren didn't expect Gao Cheng to dare to do whatever he wanted in front of the palace, as if he was going to kill him immediately. Gao Cheng was ruthless, and Lin Xingren was so strangled by his collar that he was about to breathe.
"Gao Cheng, stop!" Yuan Shan saw that he was the first to reflect, and he also shouted. Lin Xingren is his person, and he naturally can't let Gao Cheng practice him.
"He's damned." Gao Cheng used force in his hands, and he didn't look at Yuan Shanjian at all.
Lin Xingren's face turned purple.
Yuan Shanjian suddenly turned around and grabbed Gao Cheng's hand, and grabbed Lin Xingren's collar with the other hand. He didn't seem to be embarrassed, but with a slight force of both hands at the same time, Gao Cheng was pulled away from Lin Xingren's collar by the huge force.
Lin Xingren's neck suddenly relaxed, and he was so soft that he fell to the ground like a piece of mud, panting for breath.
Yuan Shanjian let go of Lin Xingren, but he didn't let go of Gao Cheng, so he pushed it easily, and Gao Cheng staggered backwards.
Everyone was stunned, and no one ignored that Yuan Shanjian saw that this seemingly weak young man had so much strength.
Chen Yuankang grabbed Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng stood firm with the help of Chen Yuankang and stared at Yuan Shanjian. He was originally the prince of Qinghe, both civil and military, dismounted to read poetry and books, and could ride and shoot on horseback. It's just that he didn't take it to heart. In other words, it was Yuan Shanjian's contentment to be a supple and weak emperor over the years, which made him paralyze his vigilance against him.
Gao Cheng pushed Chen Yuankang away, stood up straight, and stared at Yuan Shanjian to take a step forward.
Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light, and the sharp sound of the sword unsheathed pierced the already tense air. The Son of Heaven actually came with a sword! And at this moment, he drew his sword out of its sheath and faced Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng was also furious by the flash of silver light. The emperor allowed his eunuchs to be rude to him, and even used a sharp blade against him. Is this the reward for his dedication to society?
"Why does the general have to deal with a eunuch?" Yuan Shanjian really couldn't bear it anymore. Although Lin Xingren is a eunuch, he is a eunuch he brought from the Qinghe Palace, he has served him since he was a child, and he grew up with him. Since he became the emperor in the succession order, who doesn't know that Lin Xingren, who was given the status of a permanent servant, is not an ordinary eunuch? Gao Cheng was about to kill him because of Lin Xingren's reprimand for him, which simply didn't give the Supreme any leeway. What's more, Lin Xingren was not wrong, it was indeed Gao Cheng who lost the courtesy of the monarch and minister. Once he couldn't do it, looking at his aggressive appearance, do you still want to come again?
Although Yuan Shanjian didn't say it directly, the meaning was very clear, he stared at Gao Cheng coldly, if he killed Lin Xingren, he would have a bad relationship with the Great Wei Emperor.
Gao Cheng was forced to stop by the sharp blade, and he understood that Yuan Shanjian was protecting Lin Xingren, so he was even more determined to get rid of this scourge. He pressed a few more steps towards the blade, and also stared at Yuan Shanjian, and asked, "Your Majesty wants to protect this eunuch?" "The eunuchs and relatives have never been at odds with each other, not to mention that Lin Xingren's actions have long violated Gao Cheng's taboo.
"General, don't force Lone." Yuan Shanjian will never give in.
Yuan Shan saw that he had a sword but no courage, and when he saw Gao Cheng pressing forward step by step, he couldn't help but feel a little unsteady on his feet. Both of them are a little angry, the matter is out of control at this point, and no one can control the rest of the matter.
Gao Cheng saw that he didn't dare to really stab him with his sword, he suddenly shook his body, deceived Yuan Shanjian, and then stepped forward with an arrow and slashed his hand to snatch the sword in Yuan Shanjian's hand. He will use his sword to kill his henchmen. If there really was this troubled eunuch, perhaps the inner court would have been quieter. Even if the emperor is angry for a while, can he really give birth to something big for a slave?
Who knew that Yuan Shanjian's reaction was not slow, although the sword in his hand was taken away by Gao Cheng, but when Gao Cheng raised his sword and stabbed at Lin Xingren, who was still spread on the ground, he was able to grab Gao Cheng's wrist, shook it with his backhand, shook off the sword in Gao Cheng's hand, and pushed him, and then strode forward and kicked Gao Cheng suddenly. This sequence of movements was smooth and coherent, and everyone was shocked.
Lin Xingren, who was rubbing back on the ground, saw this scene and shouted, "Your Majesty doesn't have to fight for the slave and the general, the slave and the maid are willing to die to appease the general's anger." Etiquette cannot be abolished, slaves and maids are willing to die with their bodies, and may everyone in the world understand the way of loyalty to the king. ”
Yuan Shan saw that his strength was incomparable, and Gao Cheng was an injured person, the sword in his hand had fallen out of his hand, and he was kicked by Yuan Shanjian, and he was about to be kicked. Everyone watched the emperor kick the general's kick, only Chen Yuankang saw that the situation was not good, so he simply let the prince behind him with the emperor's thrust, and protected Gao Cheng with his body.
Gao Qingqing clearly heard Chen Yuankang's muffled snort, and he knew that this kick was heavy. And this kick was originally intended to be kicked on him by Yuan Zeonmi. With such great force, is he going to put him to death? Chen Yuankang withstood this kick, and with such a great force, his body was unstable on his feet, and he finally pounced forward.
"Brother Changyou......" Gao Cheng helped him.
"Don't be impulsive." Chen Yuankang smiled reluctantly and whispered in his ear.
Gao Cheng was already furious to the extreme, he helped Chen Yuankang to stand firm, pushed away his hand that he was trying to block, and walked towards Emperor Yuan Shanjian.
Yuan Shanjian also saw the scene just now, but he didn't expect to suddenly rush out and Chen Yuankang took this kick for Gao Cheng. He hated it in his heart, Gao Cheng himself was already injured, if he really took his kick, maybe he would return to the west with his life, but he would save a big thing. If this is the case, Gao Huan, who has broken the heir of the son, may have no future, and it is clear that Gao Cheng's younger brothers are not successful.
At this time, Gao Cheng walked towards him step by step with a pale face, bypassed Chen Yuankang, and walked straight in front of him, the proximity of the two people made people feel unusual.
"Your Majesty, I really want the minister to die immediately, right?" Gao Cheng's words were astonishing.
"So what?" Seeing this, Yuan Shan threw away all scruples and raised his head to look directly at Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng was a few years older than him and taller, and he had to look up at him.
"Why?" Gao Cheng suddenly asked this question.
Yuan Shan was stunned, do you need a reason? Either there are too many reasons, or there is no reason at all. But why? Just because he doesn't like him? Just because he's too domineering? Because he oppresses him everywhere? Because he is in charge of the society for him and regards him as a puppet? It seems to be both, and it doesn't seem to be either.
Gao Cheng saw that he didn't answer, he suddenly smiled, laughing a little sarcastically, he reached over, gently stroked his cheek, his fingers slid down his cheek to his neckline, suddenly grabbed Yuan Shanjian's neckline and lifted it upward, smiled very coldly word by word, "Since Your Majesty doesn't know, go back to the palace and think about it." ”
