Chapter 17: Taking Advantage of Each Other

Yuan Zhonghua's body was almost half pressed by Gao Cheng, and he couldn't move, he could only look at him with his eyes, and his forced eyes made her almost afraid to look at him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's the general who doesn't care about me. The concubine given by the Lord to Mrs. Li has been placed by Ah Jiao. Yuan Zhonghua's voice was also light and soft.

She looked defiant, but not angry. I want to escape from his shackles, but there is nowhere to escape.

"Your Highness doesn't like her?" Gao Cheng suddenly felt that it was easy and funny to joke with her like this. So he decided to do it seriously.

"It's enough for the general to like it, and you don't need a concubine to like it." Yuan Zhonghua was still not angry. I don't know who's joking with whom.

His concentration was still not enough. He could never be quiet and patient in front of her, and she could always easily take away his emotions. He really couldn't laugh.

"Your Highness is really ungrateful, and he doesn't care about the lower officials at all." Gao Cheng became angry when he saw it.

"I care." Yuan Zhonghua was still not angry, but laughed. "I want the general to have no one else around him, and I'm the only one in my heart. The general promised not to take concubines again, and I will ask Ah Jiao to expel all those ladies out for sale today, is the general happy? Yuan Zhonghua continued to anger him.

Gao Cheng was speechless. It's not Yuan Zhonghua's problem, it's that he really can't do it. It turned out that he was ashamed of her, and he promised but couldn't do it. This feeling was very bad and made him extremely unhappy. The more this happens, the more I feel shameless and feel sorry for her. But her joking tone made him feel deeply stabbed, and he didn't like it very much. He had never been so entangled in his heart.

"Your Highness is really ruthless......" Gao Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, he just wanted to come to the bed, and suddenly heard a voice outside.

"Master Lang, Cui Shilang is here." A's voice was not far from outside the bed tent.

Neither Gao Cheng nor Yuan Zhonghua heard when Ah Jiao came in.

Gao Cheng's resentment had to endure it again. Half lying on Yuan Zhonghua's body was motionless, and he was unwilling. It's not just a few jokes just now, but the spirit of his hard work these days, the grievances he has suffered, and his many thoughts and worries are only slightly relieved when he joked with Yuan Zhonghua just now. He wanted to stay with her longer, but he had to leave right away.

Yuan Zhonghua was reluctant in his heart, but he would never stop him. I vaguely felt that every time Cui Jishu came, there was nothing too good.

Gao Cheng finally calmed down.

After sunrise, it was almost dawn, and even in winter, the sky was bright. He thought he had only been here for a moment, and he didn't feel that time had flown by.

There was no sound in the bed tent, and she didn't hear any movement, and she didn't urge again, just waited quietly. I don't know what the two people in the bed tent are doing. It took a long time to hear Gao Cheng's voice.

"There is only His Royal Highness in his heart, and he has nothing to do with those concubines. If His Highness leaves me one day, Ah Hui himself will be bored. "His voice was low and he couldn't hear it very clearly. Ah Jiao felt that this was said in a fog and did not know why.

Before she could figure it out, the bed tent was lifted, and Gao Cheng had already come out.

Ah Jiao looked at him carefully, but her expression was still indifferent. It's just that the bun is slightly messy, and the haggard look when I first came in is swept away. A pair of eyes are watery, and they don't smile, but they make people feel full of smiles. Ah Jiao was surprised, Lord Lang's appearance was very inconsistent with the slightly sad words he said just now.

Ah Jiao couldn't help but laugh secretly.

The cangtou slave Liu Taozhi stood in the courtyard. He was the only exception to the eldest princess's courtyard. As soon as Gao Cheng came out, Liu Taozhi immediately greeted him and reported to Gao Cheng and said, "Cui Shilang is outside the courtyard, and there is an urgent matter waiting to see Lord Lang." ”

Gao Cheng was too lazy to get angry. When did Cui Jishu come and say that there was an emergency?

Cui Jishu had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, and he felt that this time it was indeed an urgent matter. was anxious in his heart, subconsciously walking back and forth, like an ant on a hot pot, suddenly saw the courtyard door open, Gao Cheng walked out, immediately happy in his heart, regardless of his manners, a few steps over, called out, "General".

Gao Cheng made a gesture to silence him, and walked away without stopping. Liu Taozhi followed. Cui Jishu had to follow.

Gao Cheng's study has always been quiet. It's just that when he came out of Yuan Zhonghua's place, Gao Cheng felt that the study was stuffy and dark, a little uncomfortable, and very uncomfortable, which made his temper worse.

Liu Taozhi consciously stayed outside the house.

"Uncle Cui, you said that there was something important when you came back, what is the matter this time?" Gao Cheng had no scruples about being angry with Cui Jishu.

Anyway, there were just two of them in the room.

"General, Sun Longque has returned from Jinyang. It's not a good situation. Cui Ji Shuming knew that the mansion was much stricter than Dongbaitang, and Liu Taozhi was guarding outside, but he still lowered his voice very cautiously.

These words immediately hit the sensitive spot in Gao Cheng's heart, and all his temper disappeared.

"How is King Gao?" He was cautious, and finally asked these words with some difficulty. He was ready in his heart. But I still felt a little flustered. It's not because of chaos, it's because of a lack of calmness and lack of confidence that a big event is about to happen.

"I don't know." Cui Jishu replied to him bluntly.

Gao Cheng was taken aback and asked, "Then what do you mean when you say the situation is not good?" He didn't think anything else was more important than his father's safety. What could be harder?

"General," Cui Jishu became anxious at this time, approached Gao Cheng, and said in a lower voice, "Sun Longque rushed back from Jinyang day and night. Once he returned to Yecheng, he didn't even return home, so he went directly to the Taiyuan Mansion. ”

That's all too clear. Gao Cheng suddenly felt like he had lost his footing, and his heartbeat seemed to have missed a few beats. On the way back to Jinyang from Yubi, his father personally told him that he would summon Taibao Sun Teng to Jinyang to personally pass on the secret order. This is undoubtedly a matter of utmost importance.

He had to go back to Yecheng. If he went to Jinyang with his father and did not return for a long time, it would definitely arouse suspicion. From the age of fifteen, he entered the Ye auxiliary government, and Gao Huan, the king of Bohai and the prime minister, was in charge of military affairs in the Jinyang Mansion; Gao Cheng, the general and the prince of the world, was in charge of government affairs in Yecheng. This has gradually become a system, and over the years it has become a rule.

If this rule changes, it will arouse suspicion, and rumors will inevitably lead to directions that he does not want. So he could only hurry back and wait for news in Yecheng. Even if you know that the result is certain, there is too much to change in the process. The slightest negligence will kill him and destroy his family, and the process is too painful.

Sun Teng is the person who Gao Huan deliberately chose to bear the will. It is not eye-catching, will not arouse the suspicion of onlookers, and can be used to live happily without disobedience. The most important point is that he is not overly close to the prince and other sons on weekdays. These are the reasons why Gao Huan picked Sun Teng.

Gao Cheng naturally knew that Sun Teng was going to inherit his will. It stands to reason that his father must have something important to explain to Sun Teng, and Sun Teng should come to see the son first when he returns to Yecheng. Gao Cheng was waiting for Sun Teng to come back, arrange Yecheng properly, and then go to Jinyang.

But after thinking about it, he didn't expect that as soon as Sun Teng came back, he went directly to Taiyuan Gonggaoyang Mansion. Is this what his father Gao Huan meant, or what Sun Teng himself meant? If it was his father Gao Huan's meaning, Gao Cheng would not be too suspicious in his heart. This is a tacit understanding between father and son. If it was Sun Teng's own intention, he chose to get close to Taiyuan Gong Gaoyang after accepting the order, then the problem might be very serious. Very serious.

"Don't worry, Sun Longque's intentions are unknown. As long as he showed a little intention of being surrendered, let Changyou dispose of him first. For Gao Cheng's sake, especially this kind of life-threatening matter of seizing power and position, Cui Jishu is not merciful at all.

"First of all, we need to know what happened to King Gao." Gao Cheng can't wait to fly to Jinyang now.

The lamp was lit in the Shuangtang Changxin Xuan, the light was not very bright, only for the purpose of being able to see, and not to see very clearly.

Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang sat on the seat and looked at Sun Teng, who was meeting him in front of him.

He suddenly remembered the old things in Luoyang many years ago. At that time, his father Gao Huan used the remnants of the Pinger Zhu clan as a reason to enter Luoyang from Xinjun. Under the pagoda of Yongning Temple, it was Sun Teng who personally killed the little emperor Yuen Long when Gao Huan was in Xindu.

At that time, the bloody scene, under the pagoda was the corpses of Yuan Gong and Yuen Long, and Gao Yang would never forget it for the rest of his life. Oddly enough, he was never afraid. However, his eldest brother Gao Cheng showed horror at that time. He still remembers that his father at that time was really an iron-blooded man, pushing the tide and grasping the situation, and no one dared to disobey him.

I just didn't expect this day to come so quickly......

Gao Yang's heart suddenly rose with impulsive pride. He had never been like this.

"Duke Taiyuan, the lower official was entrusted by King Gao, and rushed back from Jinyang day and night, and was the first to come to see Duke Taiyuan, and he had an inside story." Sun Teng's voice interrupted Gao Yang's contemplation.

Yang Su, who was sitting silently in the shadows, listened carefully.

"Sun Taibao," Gao Yang woke up from his contemplation, his voice rarely calm. "Since the Taibao has inherited the trust of my father, he should first go to see my eldest brother and the general of the prince when he returns to Yecheng. Even if my father has a life for me, I should be called by the Son of the world to pass on my life. Why is Taibao so anxious and out of order? ”

Gao Yang looked puzzled.

"Taiyuan Gong was blue-eyed by King Gao that day because of the quick knife to cut the mess, how wise and decisive he was at that time, how can he be confused today?" Sun Teng Huoran got up and pointed directly at Gao Yang, "Xiaguan is under the orders of King Gao, Jinyang and Yecheng are about to be in chaos, when the world is shaken, Taiyuan Gongren will see King Gao not blind, will Gao's foundation collapse in one day?" Teng was deeply favored by King Gao, and he still thought it was his responsibility, and he was willing to help the Duke of Taiyuan to be ordered to succeed King Gao's foundation. If the Duke of Taiyuan wants to refrain from resigning, he must not trust the dragon bird, and the dragon bird can only die to follow King Gao. ”

After Sun Teng finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and strode outside. Its determination is unstoppable.

Gao Yang was already dizzy when he heard the word "death". He was suddenly extremely excited, and instantly felt like a dragon entering the deep sea. Listening to Sun Teng's words that he was willing to be supplemented by the inheritance, Gao Yang suddenly woke up in a trance and felt that he had been ordered by his father, and the trust of the entire Gao family was on him at this moment.

"Taibao!" Gao Yang subconsciously shouted.

He couldn't let Sun Teng go, he couldn't let him leave.

Sun Teng turned a deaf ear and did not stop.

"Too reserved step! The Taibao was ordered to complement each other, why did they abandon me again? Gao Yang also got up suddenly.

Only Yang Su still didn't move, he was still sitting on the seat and looked at the two people carefully.

Sun Teng is not Gao Cheng's cronies, Yang Yu is very clear about this.

Sun Teng was finally moved, and stopped and turned to look at Gao Yang, "Taiyuan Gongxin me?" ”

Gao Yang left the table and walked in front of Sun Teng to stare at him, "Why did Taibao abandon his eldest brother and choose his son to enter?" ”

Sun Teng laughed and said, "Long Que has never been a confidant of the Great General. The general never carried the dragon sparrow. Has Taiyuan Gong forgotten? On the same day under the Yongning Tower in Luoyang, the dragon bird killed the emperor Yuen Long, and since then the prince has disliked the dragon bird as the minister who killed the king. The dragon sparrow got close to each other in many ways, and then offered a dancing queen, which made the princess and the prince suspicious, and then the prince was abolished...... These things are in front of each other, how can the general be willing to make friends with the dragon sparrow again? I don't hold a grudge against the lower officials, and it is already fortunate that I am willing to leave the official's life. ”

"Taibao just to save your life?" Gao Yang's eyes stared at Sun Teng as if they were burning with flames, and he pressed him again.

"The dragon bird is also precious for a while to follow King Gao, if the prince succeeds to the throne, the lower officials will not even be able to protect their lives, how can it be expensive?"

"What does the Taibao want?" Gao Yang still refused to let Sun Teng go.

"Teng is a layman. When he was in Luoyang, he wanted to marry the princess of the plains, but the prince secretly made a hindrance and did not allow the lower officials to ask for it, and the lower officials have always held a grudge. Sun Teng suddenly turned out the past, and it seemed that it was accumulated deep in his heart.

"The princess of the plains is dead." Yang Su stood up suddenly.

The princess of the plains refers to Yuan Mingyue, who fled west with Emperor Yuan Xiu.

"Xia Guan doesn't concentrate on one person, he just wants to be accompanied by wealth and wealth when King Gao is there, and he might as well find another beautiful woman." Sun Teng said frankly.

In fact, it sounds like there is no too sharp contradiction between Sun Teng and the prince Gao Cheng, but there are too many small suspicions, and they are irretrievable over the years. It is also difficult for Sun Teng to remember it so clearly, from Luoyang to Yecheng, everything is in his heart.

"What is Sun Taibao's plan now?" Gao Yang stepped forward and helped Sun Teng to the table and sat down together.

Sun Teng saw that Gao Yang ignored Yang Su, and Gao Yue, Gao Guiyan, the younger brothers of the Gao royal family, were not there at this time, and he suddenly realized in his heart: it turned out that Yang Su was really Gao Yang's confidant.

"The Duke of Taiyuan can rest assured that King Gao will pay all the affairs of the overlord to Teng, and Jinyang and the Shangdang Army are all in the hands of the lower officials, and he is willing to dedicate himself to the public. The only obstacle is the son," Sun Teng gritted his teeth and said, "If the name is not right, the words are not good, and the public must correct his name first." There is no need to rush for now, Ming Gong doesn't have to do it himself, naturally someone will have trouble with the prince. ”

Yang Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Sun Taibao, what is the offense of the general that makes the Taibao so attentive?" ”

Sun Teng said with a straight face, "Yang Changshi is fallacious. It's not that the general offends the dragon sparrow, it's the dragon sparrow who sees the offense against the general. He ignored Yang Su, and said to Gao Yang, "The lord and the king of Jibei and others have long been dissatisfied with the general, and if the two fight, they will inevitably be injured." In case the general is defeated and dies, isn't Ming Gong justifiable? ”

Gao Yang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said with a smile, "Sun Taibao really has a good plan. ”

In the darkness he smiled a little hideously.

Yang Yu secretly looked at Sun Teng with his eyes. To be able to come up with such a strategy, it will not be a day to deal with Gao Cheng's thoughts. Moreover, this strategy is vicious to Gao Cheng, but it is beneficial and harmless to Gao Yang. It seems that Sun Teng is indeed sincerely attached. (To be continued.) )
