"Is the husband still leaving?" Yuan Zhonghua looked at Gao Cheng's uncertain face, and suddenly asked, she looked at him with teary eyes.

"It's me who is not good, so that Qing is wronged." Gao Cheng's heart softened. He stretched out a hand to hold Yuan Zhonghua's hand, and whispered softly, "Sleep." The Imperial Doctor ordered that you have not been well adjusted. I'm still waiting for you to recuperate and give birth to a son-in-law for me. ”

Unexpectedly, these words touched Yuan Zhonghua's sadness again, and he burst into tears even more. But she didn't say anything, only nodded slightly. But I didn't listen to Gao Cheng's words and really fell asleep with peace of mind, and I was reluctant to close my eyes and kept looking at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng also sat motionless on the edge of the couch, just looking at her.

Suddenly, Yuan Zhonghua raised his other hand and stretched out to him, Gao Cheng didn't know what she was going to do, so he hurriedly leaned down and approached her to accommodate her. Yuan Zhonghua's hand reached to his right cheek with some effort, but it was extremely accurate, just touching his wound. It is rare that she has an excellent grasp of proportion, and the movements of her fingers are very gentle.

Gao Cheng froze there a little stiffly, not daring to move. She ran her fingers over his wound, and he felt comfortable.

"My husband has been wronged." Yuan Zhonghua looked at him and said this very softly.

Somehow, Gao Cheng suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and almost burst into tears. He didn't speak, just squeezed her hand. After a moment, he leaned down, kissed her gently, and softly persuaded, "Sleep." ”

Yuan Zhonghua hadn't been so close to him for a long time, so he couldn't help but blurt out, "Ah Hui......"

Gao Cheng watched Yuan Zhonghua fall into a deep sleep, he sat on the edge of her bed and looked at her, he kept holding her hand. Originally, he was extremely tired, but he sat so quietly, looking at Yuan Zhonghua's tranquil sleeping face, all the tiredness had disappeared unconsciously. Although his heart is calm and calm like water, there are no big ups and downs, but his heart is steady. There is no extreme indulgence, no extreme satisfaction, and no sense of emptiness that overwhelms the soul and makes people despair.

When anything happens suddenly, it will frighten the person concerned because it is difficult to accept. It has been a long time since the farce that shocked the temple in the Zhaotai Temple. At that time, Wang Yuanhui and Taifu Weijing of Jibei were arrested and taken to prison on the spot. After that, the general Gao Cheng showed his sharpness, ruthlessly divided it by thunderous means, and gave different punishments to the corrupt ministers in different situations.

Wang Yuanhui of Jibei, although his family property was confiscated, he was finally released from prison and punished without beating, which can be regarded as a general who saved face for the Son of Heaven and the clan. Gao Cheng is not selfish, Yuan Hui, as a clan, is corrupting the Yuan family's society, which is really dirty to say.

Taifu Weijing, although his family property was not confiscated, his hidden household registration, land property, and slaves were all confiscated by the general with lightning speed. Gao Huan, the king of Bohai and the prime minister of the Great Minister, returned to Yecheng from Jinyang and asked the emperor to release Wei Jing from prison on the grounds of the upcoming wedding of the emperor and queen. Nian Zai's brother-in-law Wei Jing once had the grace of nurturing him, but now that Wei Jing and his wife are old and sick, Gao Huan is willing to be punished with his own body. This is all for personal reasons, but Gao Huan did not say a word about Wei Jing's lawlessness and the general's heavy punishment, and obviously supported his son with silence.

As for Sima Ziru, Sun Teng, and even Hou Jing who is far away in Henan, they are all extremely shrewd people, and they all seem to be sincerely afraid to ask for self-depreciation, but it is just a plan to protect themselves. The emperor will naturally follow the general's wishes. But recovery is just around the corner.

Anyway, at the moment, it seems that in this one round, the general's prestige is so great that no one dares to underestimate this young man Zaisuke.

The moonlight is like silver, and the streamer is full of light. The owner of the Bohai Palace, the great prime minister Gao Huan, sat with his eldest son Gao Cheng in the small courtyard where he handled official business.

"Anu." Gao Huan called, full of kindness.

Gao Cheng was in a trance when he heard it, his father hadn't called him like this for a long time.

"In any case, I can't bear to let them be sad when I think of the nurturing grace of my uncle and aunt." Gao Huan no longer mentioned the process of punishing corruption this time. Of course, he also knows very well in his heart that his son is also ready to fly, and he has to send it, and there are difficulties that must be done.

Although he felt that his son was a little anxious, it was imperative. It's just that he didn't expect that the first person to jump out against his son was his brother-in-law Wei Jing, who had the grace of nurturing him, which he didn't expect. Wei Jing's reaction was so violent that it was beyond his imagination. I know that he is greedy for money; The second is not to take his son in his eyes, thinking that he is young after all.

But after all, his brother-in-law was kind to him, and now there are not many people who can touch his heart like this.

"The son knows that Grandpa is in trouble. It's nothing, state affairs are the country, family affairs are family affairs, grandpa just took his son to compensate his uncle and aunt, as long as the uncle and aunt are punished according to family etiquette, the son is willing to accept it. Gao Cheng also knew that he had to make his father's heart happy, and he had to make Wei Jing and Gao Loujin happy. What else can he do with the punishment according to family etiquette, he just just closes his eyes and turns a deaf ear, and endures it for a while.

"It's also to keep the old from chilling." Gao Huan explained to his son a little helplessly. He is getting old, and sooner or later he will have his son take the throne for him. These old things are absolutely inseparable, if they don't respect the young master, Gao Cheng will not be able to sit on the throne. In fact, he felt that his son's prestige was shocked this time, which made these people have a sense of respect in their hearts, and they knew that the young master could not be bullied, which was also a good thing. But we can't just punish them severely, this is not a trick to use people.

"But it's up to Grandpa to arrange." Gao Cheng replied hastily. In his mind, this matter is a thing of the past, and he doesn't have to dwell on it all the time.

"What's your concern?" Knowing that a son is not as good as a father, Gao Huan immediately heard that Gao Cheng was a little absent-minded.

"Worry about the Yuwen Black Otter." Gao Cheng also said calmly, "Xikou can win in Tongguan in such a declining fashion, if you don't let it destroy the country at this time, won't it become a big disaster in the future?" ”

Gao Huan nodded and didn't speak, which was also what he thought in his heart.

Both father and son were silent. It is for this reason that the treatment of corruption cannot be too fast, not too severe, otherwise it will be embattled, and before the Yuan Bao Torch and the Yuwen Black Otter are extinguished, the Gao family will not know how to survive first. Sometimes tolerance is a balance. It is a fool's move to be too bright-eyed and bright-hearted, and not tolerate a little sand. Internal and external troubles have come to this point, and it is difficult to move forward everywhere, and Gao Huan also knows in his heart that his son is not easy.

Taifu Weijing is close to the Wei Palace in Yecheng's mansion and is located in a bustling market. Its lintel is tall and magnificent, and it is extremely conspicuous, and everyone in Yecheng knows and knows it. Even the Bohai Palace, the Great General's Mansion and the Great General's Mansion are not so luxurious and dazzling. In the midst of the people coming and going, three ox carts surrounded by a large number of servants stopped outside the gate of the Taifu Mansion. The decoration of the three ox carts is not very ornate, but because of the front and back hugs, you can see that they are not ordinary people.

When the car was parked, six people walked out of the three cars: a middle-aged couple and two teenagers. The ladies all wear draped skirts and hats, and they can't see their true faces, they can only see their slender postures, and their clothes and accessories are very simple. One of the three men attracted many people to stop and watch in the crowd, and everyone was amazed, they had never seen a man so beautiful.

King of Bohai, Prime Minister Gao Huan, Princess Lou Zhaojun; Gao Cheng, the general, the prince, Yuan Zhonghua, the princess and the princess of Feng Yi; The second son, Taiyuan Duke Gao Yang, Taiyuan Duchess Li Zu'e. These six people entered Taifu Weijing's mansion in an orderly manner. The servants who came with them were waiting outside.

Yuan Zhonghua and Li Zu'e are both coming to this uncle's mansion for the first time. If the Taifu Mansion looks at the luxury and magnificence of the lintel from the outside, then the inside is even more amazing. The inside of the Taifu Mansion is a courtyard with overlapping courtyards, and it is easy for first-time visitors to get lost if there is no one to guide them. There are so many courtyards that it seems endless. After walking for a long time, I walked through the house and transferred the house to the garden at the back.

Naturally, there were already slaves and maids who went in to return to the court, and Taifu Weijing and Junjun Gao Loujin didn't even go out to greet each other, not only did they not go out of the house to greet them, but they didn't even wait in the front hall. Only the servants led the way and brought Gao Huan, the king of Bohai, and others to the back garden.

The princess Yuan Zhonghua's trip was really difficult. First, her body was not healed; Second, she never wanted to see this person since she was unprovoked by the county monarch Gao Loujin that day. But she also knew that today, the adult Gao Huan took the whole family to visit the Taifu Mansion, and he must have come to compensate for his feelings, and it would definitely not work if he didn't come. If this is the case, then the most difficult person must not be her, it must be her husband Gao Cheng. That's all Yuan Zhonghua can think of.

Moonlight is probably the most relaxing of the walk. Of course she knew about Taifu Weijing's punishment for corruption. I also vaguely heard that the general had dealt with the Taifu, but she didn't know how to deal with it, she only knew that the general was using this to establish his authority. Speaking of Taifu's corruption and lawlessness, why did she so justifiably ask the adult Gao Huan to bring the whole family to ask for sin, according to her thoughts, it was just this uncle who relied on the kindness of raising the adult when he was a child and asked for a return. The prince of the world made him lose face, so he had to get back face from the adult.

Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang followed his father and brother all the way and never said a word. However, his eldest brother Gao Cheng knew that he would be condemned today, so he was calm. His mother, Concubine Lou, looked peaceful, but she was actually very angry in her heart, but Concubine Lou was a very old and skilled person, so naturally she would not show it on her face, she knew that what she could do today was not to speak.

Among these people, only the prime minister Gao Huan's emotions are the most complicated, like a matter of heart, such as the guilt after being relieved; There are also those who have no face to see their eldest sister and brother-in-law; Of course, there is also a little dissatisfaction with Taifu and Junjun. Wei Jing's corruption is a violation of national law, and he shouldn't make things so difficult for his son. The county king should not be sprinkled for this. And mixed with these complex emotions, there is also some helplessness. Wei Jing and Gao Loujin, maybe these two people are the only ones who can make the world-powerful King of Bohai and the Prime Minister have such complicated emotions.

None of the six men said a word, as if they had walked for a long, long time, and the garden was incomparably large. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden are densely arranged, making people dizzy. Yuan Zhonghua, the princess who had not yet healed, could barely hold on. Fortunately, he walked to a pavilion and stopped. Yu Yu Prime Minister Gao Huan, his lord and mother were in the pavilion, and then went in to report that the guests had arrived.

Gao Huan and the others waited outside for a short time, and the slaves and maids hugged and supported the county monarch Gao Loujin out, but they did not see Taifu Weijing. Gao Loujin's face was full of anger, he was helped down, went straight to Gao Huan, didn't look at others, and said angrily, "You still dare to come to the door to beg for mercy?" The old couple really shouldn't have taken them in that day, and it was better than being humiliated by the children when they were about to die today. ”

This is not a good thing to say, you can't take advantage of it and suffer a little loss, and you lose your temper regardless of whether you are reasonable or not. Gao Huan smiled and said, "Why did my sister say this? "Gao Huan is pretending to be confused, Concubine Lou and the others are all angry in their hearts, but they can only pretend to smile." The younger brother came to ask his brother-in-law for sin. As he spoke, he was about to come up.

Gao Loujin moved to block the door and said angrily, "The old woman only hates the original troubled people, otherwise where did this son come from!" As he spoke, he stared at Gao Cheng. She hates Gao Cheng more than Gao Huan. Gao Huan is also his own brother, and he was raised by himself. After all, Gao Cheng is separated by a layer, but he is not the most resentful of his rudeness in public, which makes his husband Wei Jing lose face, but what he hates most is that he has collected all the hidden family assets that have been in business for many years. In public, the family property was not confiscated, and he also had a reputation for leniency.

Gao Cheng has long felt that it is not a way to let his father be so humble and make amends, but his aunt has always refused to forgive. He also knew that his uncle and aunt hated him the most. At this time, seeing what the jun jun was pointing at, he simply took a few steps forward, restrained his temperament and said, "Today's nephew is here to ask for guilt, and my uncle and aunt want to beat and punish him, but please speak up." ”

Everyone looked at Gao Loujin. That **** made the princess kneel in the courtyard for a few hours, and she didn't even give the emperor's face, and she didn't know how to insult the prince Gao Cheng today. Who knew that Gao Loujin had not yet spoken, and suddenly heard an angry roar from inside the house.

"Now that the erector has grown up and is in a high position, who can beat you? Why bother talking about such cheap words? Do this? This is Wei Jing's voice, it seems that he knows the scene outside clearly, but he refuses to show up to meet him.

Even Gao Huan was stunned when he heard this. Did Wei Jing really mean to scold his son? He suddenly turned his head to look at Concubine Lou. Concubine Lou was also looking at him. Concubine Lou didn't speak, she naturally knew that if her husband Gao Huan's persuasion was useless, then her persuasion would only add fuel to the fire.

Yuan Zhonghua and Moonlight both tensed.

Only Gao Yang stood still.

Gao Cheng reflected first, and said to his aunt Gao Loujin, "Since this is the case, please punish my aunt severely, and my nephew is willing to be caned." At this point, he can't break his word. But thinking that the responsibility is just a matter for Wei Jing to get back face, is it really hard work?

Gao Huan and the others still didn't know, so they all looked at Gao Loujin. She is an old woman who is sick, even if she is beaten with a heavy cane, how much can she weigh? If the whole family goes out and asks for the sin so solemnly and frankly, can Gao Cheng really be relieved?
