Yao Yizhong's face bloomed with joy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He is the chief of the tribe on the Wei Zhen side inside, and he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court outside, and the official worships the capital of Qinzhou, and he is old, and the glory and wealth are also enjoyed, and there is nothing worth remembering. But what he has always been concerned about is whether the next generation has a future and whether his Yao family can continue to prosper forever. Yao Xiang is lucky and indeed has excellent qualifications, and now the more he mixes, the more he can do it, he is Yao Yizhong's spiritual pillar and greatest hope. At present, the youngest son Yao Chang has also entered the eyes of the emperor, and promised him a future in person, in Yao Yizhong's view, it is equivalent to giving the Yao family double insurance, how can this not make him overjoyed.

Yao Yizhong hurriedly took his two sons to kneel down and kowtow together, and said excitedly: "The young son of the minister is dull, he has been wrongly loved by His Majesty, and he is willing to reward him for doing errands, this is the great grace of Your Majesty to my Yao family." Li Yuanjun is an old minister of His Majesty, a veteran of the imperial court, and has both talents, and it is great that Yao Chang can follow him. His Majesty treats him so kindly, and the father and son are really grateful, how can there be any worries. The minister will not say anything else, but my Yao family is willing to be His Majesty's most loyal servant for generations to come, and be loyal to the country. ”

Yao Xiang also took Yao Chang and kept bowing after him, excited. After giving a gift, Gao Yue asked his father and son to sit and talk, and there was nothing to do for the time being, and it was not a court, so he had the right to chat.

"Your Majesty. Before the minister came from Xiangwu, he heard that Li Qi, the puppet emperor of Chengguo, gave his brothers Li Ba and Li Bao to death. Li Qi's cousin Shangshu Zuo Servant shot Li Zai and Anbei General Li You fought the basis of reason, but they were also killed. The ministers who advised were condemned and imprisoned, and many were killed in vain, and countless were deposed and exiled. Now everyone in the government and the opposition is afraid and uneasy, and people are panicked, and they dare not speak when they see each other, so they can only show with their eyes. Your Majesty....... ”

Yao Yizhong stopped, looking at Gao Yue with shining eyes, although the words behind him were not spoken, the meaning in his heart was self-evident.

"Hmph. Stopping the people's slander with indiscriminate killing is like controlling the river and blocking it, and walking the road to a dead end. It is said that there was a king of Zhou Li in ancient times, but today I can see a living example. Li Qiyong is cowardly and violent, and he is also self-inflicted, and he cannot live. Before a man is going to perish, he must go crazy for a while. Gao Yue snorted coldly, stopped talking, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes wandered thoughtfully, and he said leisurely after a while: "Most of these words were told by Li Feng to you, it seems that in private, you often move around." ”

Yao Yizhong hurriedly left the table to worship: "The minister doesn't dare." Although Li Yuanjun asked for help, he was also talking about the public, and there was never any excessive privacy. The minister has lived in Qinlong for a long time, and has been promoted by His Majesty to guard the place, and has always been very concerned about the movement of Shu, and he always wants to do more things for His Majesty. Especially since the beginning of this year, Li Qi, the lord of the country, has become more and more rebellious, causing the whole country to complain and lose people's hearts, so before the ministers came, Li Zhijun, Yang Zhijun and the ministers all thought that the great time to cut down Shu had indeed arrived. ”

Yao Chang knelt behind his father, and also kowtowed: "Your Majesty." Now that Shu is in turmoil, if it is not conquered in time, in case the Shu people can't bear it, they overthrow Li Qi and set up a new master. I heard that Li Shou, the uncle and general who became the lord of Li Qi, had 10,000 troops in Fucheng because of fear, and repeatedly refused Li Qi's recruitment under various excuses such as military urgency or physical discomfort, and the atmosphere was very tense. It is said that Li Shou is very popular and has a good reputation, if he is brazenly independent and dominates Shu, how will His Majesty deal with it in the future? ”

"The courtier's father is bent on repaying His Majesty's kindness and wants to share His Majesty's worries. Even though Shu is remote, it must not be returned to the Holy Dynasty. A little foolish, Your Majesty forgives the ministers for being rude. ”

"Hmm. Although Yao Chang is young, he has long-term vision, and he is really young and talented. Gao Yue praised a few words, so that his father and son could sit in peace, and there was no need to pay tribute. Hearing Li Shou's name, Gao Yue remembered that this person had really killed Li Qi and became self-reliant, and later became known as the strong master. I couldn't help but be in turmoil, secretly thinking that if I allowed history to develop, it would be tantamount to sitting back and watching its rapid growth in vain.

"Li Shou......, if I remember correctly, it should be the son of Cheng Taifu Li Xiang."

"Your Majesty is not wrong at all. Since Li Xiang's fiasco at the Dachuan River, His Majesty forgave him and finally let him go back. However, it is said that he has been haunted by the crux of his heart, depressed all day long, and finally fell ill three years ago. His son Li Shou inherited his title, and he was also considered a talented man in civil and military affairs, and his reputation in Chengguo has always been good. As for the lord Li Qi, he likes to operate on the head of the sect, and now he is more and more suspicious of Li Shou, which makes him have trouble sleeping. ”

Yao Xiang hurriedly played on behalf of his father, and also explained in detail the situation in Shu that he knew.

"It seems that the secretary and the others are ...... So be it! Since Li Feng is eager to try, I will no longer pour cold water on him, but there will be no written edict for him. Qing took the words and told him to do it himself. Externally, whether to cut down Shu or not, I don't know at all, this is his Li Feng's own sudden behavior, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court. ”

After pondering for a long time, Gao Yuefang said slowly: "In view of the current situation in Hebei, I have difficulties and have no choice but to give him public support. In private, Qing and Yang are difficult to beat, send troops and food, and must have a good life to help him! By the way, there is also Deng Heng from Rongzhou. You all fought together under the banner of the Liangzhou Army. In addition, I will write a secret message to Xie Ai, if our army is unfavorable, he must turn the tide. When you go back, discuss it yourself! I'm waiting for the good news. ”

The monarchs and ministers talked to each other, and before they knew it, it was noon, and Gao Yue was about to leave. Yao Xiang saw that the emperor was coming to the palace in person, how could he let go of such an opportunity, so he kowtowed and invited Gao Yue to eat at his house, and Yao Yizhong and Yao Chang also graciously retained. couldn't bear to brush the hot faces of his father and son, so Gao Yue asked Yao Xiang to send someone to the palace to make an announcement, and he stayed, but told the Yao family not to be extravagant, just make a few side dishes.

That being said, how can entertaining the emperor be so casual? The dishes must be top-notch and exquisite, but the quantity should be controlled, and it is okay not to put a large table full of eyes. With the master's command, the kitchen was in full swing. After a cup of fragrant tea, steaming dishes will come together. The aroma came to the nose, which made people's appetite move, Gao Yue's mood became better and better, and after a few words of laughter, he was no longer polite, and he took care of himself and feasted, and asked the father and son of the Yao family not to be formal.

Everyone knows that Gao Yue doesn't like to drink, although Yao Yizhong is a well-known booze drinker, but he doesn't dare to persuade the emperor to drink, but he has a straightforward personality, he serves a big bowl by himself, and he drinks very happily, and his face is full of red light. Gao Yue not only said that he should not be formal, but also knew that this old Yao was a person, of course, he just followed him, but he liked his straightforward temperament without being twisted. However, Yao Xiang and Yao Chang brothers didn't dare to relax like their father, and the two sat down together, served tea and poured wine, and even put on plates, all of which were personally experienced and carefully served.

Halfway through the meal, I saw a small servant in the house, holding a huge plate in his hand, and presented it respectfully with his head down. At first glance, it was a sauce-roasted carp. The fish was almost as long as an adult's arm, and its body was plump and plump, and the flesh of the knife flower was still white and delicate under the thick sauce, shining with an attractive luster. As soon as this plate of river fresh approaches, it is full of fragrance when it lands, which can be described as full of color and flavor.

Yao Xiang stepped forward and frowned, "I heard that Your Majesty made a fish bone stuck in his throat during a meal a few days ago. If you don't eat this fish, take it down! ”

The little guy raised his head and was a little pitiful: "This carp, it's rare to be so big, it was caught by the villain himself in the Yellow River yesterday, I don't know how much effort it took to do it." Hearing that His Majesty is coming, the villain has some careful thoughts about offering treasures, so he wants to present it to His Majesty to taste, this ......"

The little guy stood in place with a large plate and half hunched, looking like he didn't want to leave with a bitter face. Yao Xiang just let him go down. Gao Yue was indeed stuck by a fish bone a few days ago, and finally called the imperial doctor to come, and he was busy for a while before taking it out. But now I am in a good mood, and I see that this young man is full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, at most he just wants to get some light and get some rewards, which is also human nature, not a matter of principle, and the beauty of adults is not indispensable.

"Alright! This Yellow River carp, you can taste it, and present it. ”

The little guy was so happy that his face bloomed, and he wanted to lie down on the ground and kowtow to thank him. But his hands were still holding the big plate, and he was in a hurry for a while, and he didn't know what to do, but he looked very cramped and hairy.

When the emperor spoke, Yao Xiang stopped and stood still. The little servant approached, put the fish down in front of Gao Yue's table, put on a smile on his face, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the villain has come to tell you about the subtleties of this fish." ”

Gao Yue nodded, and was about to answer a few words, but Yao Chang suddenly stood up and said coldly: "My father and brother, I have to be entrusted with the important task of the imperial court, and in the face of Your Majesty, I don't dare to be extraordinary." You are a grass-dwelling boy, in front of the Supreme, you dare to talk so much if you don't want to retreat, and you behave differently, you live! ”

Yao Xiang flashed in his mind, and reprimanded sharply as he walked closer: "I see that you are a little embarrassed. When did you come to work in my house? You stand down first, I'll ask you! ”

The two brothers shouted and asked, but it was a matter of moments. Gao Yue sat still, and seemed to feel that something was wrong in his heart, and he was a little dazed. The little guy listened, and his face became gloomy. He didn't raise his head, his arm poked out, but from the hot belly of the big fish on the plate, he actually felt a dagger with cold light, and then, he shouted wildly, and stabbed Gao Yue in the heart with lightning speed!
