Chapter 39: Yuzhou Waits for Change
Renshou Palace, the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven.
Looking at the pile of filial piety clothes made of raw linen cloth that was not obedient and still exposed to hair, Yuan Shanjian's anger in his heart jumped several feet high.
No matter from which point of view, he shouldn't have dressed Gao Huan in such heavy mourning clothes. Even if he and Gao Huan are Weng sons-in-law, then they only need to take hemp, and they can do it in March. Gao Huan has been dead for more than half a year, and the mourning period has long passed for him.
Besides, he is a king, and Gao Huan is a minister. Although he is Weng's son-in-law, he has no reason to serve his father-in-law.
Gao Cheng actually sent him these decaying clothes on his own initiative, what did he think of him?
When Yuan Shanjian heard Gao Cheng announce Gao Huan's death with his own ears, he couldn't help it anymore. Although he endured it before, as long as he moved his mind, even he couldn't control himself.
Yuan Shanjian threw the raw linen clothes everywhere in the Renshou Palace. Fortunately, Lin Xingren, a regular servant, tried his best to persuade him, and he was finally allowed to wear it once.
However, Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang cried to death at the funeral in a beheading ceremony, and then people were like fools. It was as if he couldn't even control his snot and saliva, and he made the raw linen clothes all over the place.
In fact, only Yang knows what is going on.
The affairs in the palace are not only known to Gao Cheng, but also to Gao Yang. Although I can't see the details, since the Battle of Bishan, the emperor and the clan took advantage of his father Gao Huan's accident to get proud, but Gao Yang watched coldly and saw it clearly.
Now the eldest brother is in the right position, eager to establish his authority. The chaos is ahead, and there are occasional flaws. This is a good opportunity for the emperor and the clan, and it is also a good opportunity for Gao Cheng, how can he let it go?
Gao Yang was happy to sting while watching his eldest brother fight to the death with the emperor and the clan. Because it is too low-key and unobtrusive, it is difficult for anyone to fully understand Gao Yang's thoughts. His tangled thoughts, which sometimes come out in the dead of night, probably don't even Yang know, except for his wife Li Zu'e.
Surprisingly, the only thing Gao Cheng announced at the funeral was to respect his mother, Mrs. Lou, as the princess.
Concubine Lou did not appear at the funeral. Gao Cheng also did not say that Concubine Lou and Zheng Ji, who had been with her, would move back to the original Gao Wang's Mansion in Yecheng from the nunnery outside the city. Not to mention that he wanted to send Concubine Lou back to Jinyang.
So how did Princess Rouran, who used to be the concubine of King Gao, settle the Yu Jiulu family? Gao Cheng didn't mention this matter, and others didn't dare to ask. It's as if the vigorous and vigorous harmony that turned Yecheng almost upside down has never existed. It's as if the person Yu Jiulu never existed.
finally waited until the funeral was over, and Gao Cheng was already physically and mentally exhausted. Immediately left the palace, got in the car and ordered to go to the palace of King Gao. He really needs to be quiet today.
left Que Men far behind, and sealed the funeral scene into his memory. There is no need to look at false faces and cry insincerely. This was the end of the matter, and he had no choice but to move forward. Leave aside the emperor, the clan, and the hundred officials for the time being, no matter what they are thinking in their hearts. He just wanted to go back to his old mansion and have a look.
The Yemeni court of the Gao Wangfu is deserted.
There will also be a day when the courtyard of the Gao Wangfu is deserted.
The red-eyed old slave opened the door to welcome the young master in, and bowed down slightly.
Gao Cheng couldn't see anyone in his eyes, so he walked straight inside. Without any thought, he went straight to his father's study. How many times have they talked secretly there.
There is a heavy sadness in the mess in the whole house, and only this sadness can infect people. Everywhere is decorated with white, that miserable white, which is very strange and real at this time.
There was a layer of dust in the study. It's like no one has been here for a long, long time. Isn't there anyone who comes to sprinkle and tidy up? Just let it be so dilapidated and desolate? Thinking about the weeds in the court that he saw without opinion just now, Gao Cheng immediately became furious. He ordered all the servants and slaves who had nothing to do with him to be taken out and reprimanded.
He endured it for a long time, and finally had a chance to break out, and it was out of control as soon as he shot it.
Liu Taozhi stood in the courtyard with a black face guarding his master. No one else is qualified to persuade them, not even to cry and beg for mercy.
When he was in a mess, Cui Jishu's fat body walked towards the study through the miserable and disorderly servants in the courtyard.
From the open door, he saw at a glance Gao Cheng, who was still pale in a miserable body. Immediately, he was secretly glad that he hadn't changed his filial piety clothes. He was very shrewd, and he knew that Gao Cheng was losing his temper willfully by looking at this scene.
"General! General!! Cui Jishu shouted as he rushed in.
Of course, Gao Cheng had seen him a long time ago. Cui Jishu doesn't need to report to go straight in, and it doesn't look like it's okay to see him like this.
Gao Cheng put away the fire in his heart.
"General, Gao Zitong is here." Cui Jishu entered the door and lowered his voice as he approached Gao Cheng. He didn't wait for Gao Cheng to find pleasure in him first, and quickly explained his intentions.
Sure enough, Gao Cheng was immediately attracted to attention, turned his head and stared at him and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"When Gao Zitong returned to Yecheng, he went to find the minister, saying that he had something urgent to see the general." Cui Jishu pointed outside, "I've already entered the mansion, just outside." ”
Gao Cheng waved his big sleeves impatiently and pointed outside.
He understood what Cui Jishu meant.
After a while, I heard a sad voice full of grievances calling loudly, "General! General!! ”
Before people hear the sound, it is the high season style.
Then I saw a man dressed in white almost stumbling in.
"King Gao! King Gao! The minister is late......" The voice was high and loud, lest others not know.
Cui Jishu could hardly believe his eyes. He glared at Gao Jishi, who had already gone straight to the house.
After just a while, Gao Jishi didn't know where to find a raw linen filial piety dress and put it on. The original caged crown on his head has long been gone, and even the bun has been torn apart. A cloak of embarrassment ran towards Gao Cheng.
When he arrived outside the house, he immediately knelt down to Gao Cheng in the door, kowtowed to the ground and cried, "General! It's too late! The Great General forgives his sins! ”
Gao Cheng frowned, did not move, and forcibly commanded, "If you have something to say, get up and say." "He's been quite polite. For the sake of his face, he is Gao Aocao's younger brother.
"General, the minister has something important to return." Gao Jishi is a smart person, and he knows that he can't act anymore, so he must hurry up and get down to business, so as not to completely anger Gao Cheng.
He straightened up and looked up at Gao Cheng, and found that his eyes were all covered by messy hair, and he couldn't see anything clearly. So he hurriedly raised his hand to remove the messy hair, revealing that delicate face. His face was sweat and tears, and it was really embarrassing for him.
It's funny like this. Cui Jishu couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't dare.
Gao Jishi turned around and looked at it, as if to judge whether what he was going to say could be said now, and whether there was anyone who shouldn't be present.
"General......" Gao Ji style has just begun.
However, he was interrupted, and his entourage came in to say that Chen Changzhi had something to ask to see Lord Lang. This naturally refers to Chen Yuankang.
Gao Cheng has always attached great importance to Chen Yuankang's affairs, so he put Gao Jishi aside and ordered Chen Yuankang to be brought in quickly.
Chen Yuankang is also an ordinary miserable filial piety, but he is not as calm as Cui Jishu, nor is he as hot as Gao Jishi. When he entered the courtyard and saw Gao Jishi kneeling in front of Gao Cheng from a distance, his brows trembled slightly, which was already rare.
"Brother Changyou," Gao Cheng has always courteously courtesy Chen Yuankang, "What's the news?" ”
Chen Yuankang first gave a salute neatly, and it was inconvenient to be so arrogant in front of Gao Jishi. How to say that Gao Jishi is also the younger brother of Gao Aocao, whom he respectfully calls "Fu Gong".
Chen Yuankang was not so unsteadily looking around, he had seen clearly that there was no one else in the courtyard just now, and now the door was closed. "Murong Xingtai has sent news."
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"General, Hou Jing returned to Yuzhou and said that he would reel the Liang army with the order of the Son of Heaven, but he was separated from the Liang army in Sizhou and had been peaceful, and he had no intention of reeling at all. The minister was really out of reach, but he was afraid that Hou Jing would have different intentions that would not be conducive to the general, and then there would be a rebellion in Henan, so he rushed back to Yecheng day and night to report to the general. Gao Jishi knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, and finished speaking in one breath. Didn't he return thousands of miles just to pass it on to Gao Cheng personally? If he was preempted by others, wouldn't he have worked so hard that it was meaningless? From Chen Yuankang's expression just now, he could see that he must have something to say. No matter what he has to say, he can't steal the limelight from him.
Everyone was stunned. In the past few days, I have been waiting for Hou Jing's news, and Gao Jishi has said it so clearly.
Gao Cheng glanced at Chen Yuankang. He was slightly relieved in his heart. In any case, Hou Jing is indeed in Yuzhou, although his movements are unknown, he may have rebelled, but at least he has not yet put it into action. He still had time to act.
"General, Hou Jing returned to Yuzhou, and Murong Xingtai had already seen that his heart was different. Liang Jun lingered in Sizhou for a long time, and Hou Jing had frequent contacts with Liang General Lanjing in private in Yuzhou. Close to each other, just like Zitong said, there is nothing to do with each other. Hou Jing also made it clear that the intention of the false Son of Heaven was to go to the border to trouble, isn't this a contradiction? "Chen Yuankang doesn't mind Gao Jishi's preemptive response, and just analyzes what he knows with what Gao Jishi said just now." Murong Xingtai had already ordered someone to send a letter to the general. Who knew that Hou Jing had already prepared to rob and kill the messenger on the way to Yecheng. Murong Xingtai didn't see the general's orders for a long time, so he suspected that something was wrong, and then ordered someone to send a letter to the minister, and the minister knew the whole story. ”
Why is it near Yecheng?
I see! I see!
Gao Cheng's worries suddenly became real.
Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng with surprise.
Chen Yuankang frowned.
Gao Jishi lowered his head and still knelt and didn't dare to get up.
The whole Yecheng seems to be cloudy, and everyone has become a person with different intentions.
Gao Cheng had a splitting headache. Patiently commanded, "Brother Changyou, I don't have the time at the moment, go and call Cui Jilun, you and his uncle and nephew will discuss it together, and write a letter to Hou Situ." Situ is the deceased of King Gao, and the friendship of friends is more important than that of Shangguan and his subordinates. In addition, King Gao never mentioned Situ during his lifetime, and he couldn't just talk about his subordinates. Now that King Gao has died, can't Situ bear not to come to say goodbye? My new successor is about to take Situ as an elder and ask for advice from time to time, how can Situ bear to abandon me and refuse to see me? Great Wei and Xikou are about to fight it out in the coming days, and Liang is a friend of Great Wei like brothers. Therefore, it is important not to cut down the Liang country, but to be careful of the treacherous slippery of the western thieves. When the Great Wei was in a hurry to the Optimus Pillar Stone, Situ was valued by the master, and the lord was about to be gracious, how could Situ abandon the old master? Cry and ask Situ to return to Yecheng......"
Gao Cheng dictated, and his tone was already extremely humble.
Chen Yuankang listened and remembered it in his heart. He had already been Gao Aocao's Situ Ji room, and he had been Gao Huan's big beholder, which was not a difficult thing for him.
Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng with a pair of eyes, he had never seen Gao Cheng so humble to Hou Jing. Speaking of which, it is also forced by the situation, and he deeply understands Gao Cheng's difficulties.
Liu Taozhi, who was standing a little farther away outside the door, actually heard Gao Cheng's words clearly. He wasn't qualified to speak, but his face was almost bruised.
Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu took the order, and Gao Cheng called, "Zitong." ”
Listening to the general's tone softened a lot, Gao Jishi relieved himself. He stood up and still bowed his head to lead the training. He knelt for a long time, his knees were in extreme pain, and he didn't dare to say anything.
I had heard that the general had a great temper and did not punish him with a torture rod, and he was already reciting the Buddha in his heart.
"Zitong is far away in Jeju, and he can still be so attentive, and he is the wise minister of the country." Gao Cheng praised Gao Ji's sentence, which can be regarded as a compliment to him. Gao Cheng remembered in his heart that the previous rebellion of Gao Zhongmi was also thanks to Gao Jishi, who got the news in advance and came to report it early. It's rare to be able to do this again.
He can't afford to worry about such a person, but the gains outweigh the losses. It may be easier to win loyalty.
Now that the funeral has ended, the life of the King of Bohai and the Prime Minister Gao Huan is equivalent to the conclusion of the coffin.
The next grand raid and succession to the position is a logical thing.
For Gao Cheng, it is nothing more than adding another position of the head of the hundred officials to the original Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions, the Secretary of the Lingzhong, the General, and the Governor of Gyeonggi and the Left and Right Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governors. In fact, it doesn't matter if he adds it or not, he has already become the real master of the Yecheng court. No matter how many high positions there are, it has become a matter of little significance.
The raider is just upgrading the prince to the king of the county who will undoubtedly belong to him sooner or later.
King of Bohai, the old King of Gao is dead, he is the new King of Gao. But he didn't like it. This title has a huge shadow and a huge pressure in his heart. It's also connected to the nightmare in the ancient tomb of Bishan.
However, whether he wants it or not, not everything can be left to him.
On the day of the awarding of the king, looking at the bronze mirror, looking at the majestic crown of heaven in the mirror, sprinkled with pearls and jade like stars, the face in the mirror finally had a mature and serious appearance, Gao Cheng felt so strange that it was not like himself.
He was almost absent-minded. Entering the palace to the Taiji Palace, not only the hundred officials, but even the Son of Heaven are already waiting for it.
The ceremony of conferring the title of king is to be held in the Taiji Palace. Whose idea was this? Gao Cheng woke up at this time. However, it was already late, and a grand scene was already waiting for him.
The Taiji Hall is the place where the Son of Heaven ascended to the throne. In addition, there are also national ceremonies held here. And he is just a county king who attacks the lord, but he wants to receive the order of gratitude in the Taiji Palace. Isn't that ridiculous?
If the Son of Heaven really wants to be gracious, why should he care about where to hold this ceremony? This is obviously a superficial overture, but in fact it is secretly mocking. But there was no way back for him.
From today onwards, he will replace his father as the new "High King", whether he wants it or not.
The music in the palace is played in the Tai Chi Hall, the rhythm is calm and the atmosphere is grand and grand. Gao Cheng slowly walked up to the hall amid the music. He was dressed in a red robe with a high crown on his head, and his whole person became much more solemn.
The Son of Heaven was high in the sky, quietly looking at the powerful ministers walking in front of him. The hundreds of officials were divided into two compartments, and they all focused their eyes on the prime minister and Gao Cheng, the king of Bohai. Even people like Sima Ziru and Sun Teng couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the once debauched and frivolous young man was gone.
Proclamation.
Shane.
It's just a formality.
What makes Yuan Shanjian the most depressed in his heart is that his father dies and his son succeeds, and he can't escape the fate of being at the mercy of his ministers.
As usual, it is still a palace banquet. I couldn't arouse any interest, and when the wine was half-drunk, I walked out of the Zhaotai Hall, crossed the stone bridge, and walked to the edge of the pickaxe pond. He was no stranger to this place, and he could see the high walls of the Qiuxin Palace from a distance.
As soon as I wanted to be alone for a while, I heard someone call "King Gao".
The voice is not unfamiliar, it is Chen Yuankang's voice. But this call made Gao Cheng's heart in a trance, and after hesitating, he remembered that this was indeed calling him. So he quickly adjusted his mind in his heart and walked under the Xinyi tree on the edge of the pickaxe pool. (To be continued.) )
