Chapter 15: Shichiro's Advice (I)

Emperor Xiao Yan, who loved his son like his life, naturally would not agree to rashly raise troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Zhengde also suddenly had an idea, and woke him up openly or secretly in front of the prince Xiao Gang. If you take advantage of the internal difficulties of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and take the opportunity to make profits, it will become the prince's work, and if you don't succeed, you can't do it, just try. Shichiro has always gone his own way, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with any of his brothers, even the prince doesn't pay much attention to him, which can be regarded as a warning to him.

The crown prince Xiao Gang was originally the second son of Emperor Liang, if it weren't for the death of Xiao Tong, the prince of Zhaoming, Xiao Gang would not have thought of ascending to the crown prince's throne. In any case, Emperor Liang abandoned his eldest grandson and set up his second son Xiao Gang as the crown prince.

What made Xiao Zhengde excited was that the crown prince Xiao Gang really believed his words.

When Xiao Zhengde told Hou Jing all these things, Hou Jing really had mixed feelings in his heart.

He was extremely excited that Xiao Zhengde was so stupid, he was even more excited that Xiao Zhengde actually trusted him to the point of being completely defenseless, and even more excited that Prince Liang Xiao Gang's ears were as soft as cotton to the extent that he couldn't believe it. This kind of excitement is added together, and there is an idea that makes Hou Jing even more excited: the prince Xiao Gangzhi listens and believes partially, and Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, dares to think and act, if they can be used by him, what will it be?

Hou Jing was shocked that King Gao's news was known to Jiankang so quickly. This also proves the authenticity and seriousness of this news from the side. If King Gao was really a little injured, he wouldn't have been miraculous in Jiankang. But King Gao has been deceitful all his life, who knows what kind of conspiracy this is? He can't act rashly.

He wanted to see how Gao Cheng dealt with the Southern Liang Xingbing, maybe he could find out the truth of the matter from it.

"Grandpa!" Hou He came in for a long time and saw his father frowning for a while and laughing unconsciously, I don't know what he was thinking, but there was no son like him in his eyes.

Hou He actually has a problem with his father Hou Jing in his heart. Or rather, it starts with the death of the biological mother and the loss of contact; Or rather, it started with a ruthless attack in Heyin City, although it was to help him cover up. But that's how it has been produced anyway.

Hou Jing was awakened by this loud shout, and his heart was very unhappy, he held the silk book in his hand and refused to put it down, and said angrily while tugging it into his sleeve, "I have nothing to do all day, why bother me every day?" ”

Hou He was not afraid of his father's anger, and retorted, "Grandpa is now on par with King Gao, and he doesn't think about his son." If Grandpa really cares more about me, I can be a powerful minister in charge of the country like Gao Zihui. ”

This is simply wishful thinking. Not to mention that King Gao is still here, it is really Gao Huan who is dead, Hou Jing knows that he can't replace Gao Huan in Great Wei for a while, and Gao Cheng is climate is gradually changing. But it was precisely because of this thought that he suddenly had an idea. Great Wei can't do anything, there is always something to do. He couldn't get along with this humble kid, this was something he had already understood, and wasn't it time to think about it now? He was even more eager to know the truth about King Gao.

Hou Jing held back the fire, did not continue to scold Hou He, but said in a teaching manner, "The Southern Liang Xing soldiers are coming, the general is sorrowful, you have the kung fu here to go to the general and ask for the thief." If the general is willing to reuse it, you will have a chance to come to Japan. ”

There are some things that he can't say or ask, but Hou He can, just available.

Hou He was very dissatisfied with his father's attitude, and said disdainfully, "General Gao has always looked at me unpleasantly, how can I take the initiative to ask him again?" ”

I can't believe my son is so stupid. Hou Jing's heart was about to be ignited, and he could only say patiently, "The prince of Ernai County will inevitably serve the Son of Heaven in Yecheng in the future." The general is in charge of the country, how can you fight against it. It is a good policy to be close to each other, and if you get along with each other for a long time, the general will treat you well. ”

The words "prince of the county" made Hou He's heart flutter. Although he didn't think much of his father's words, he still understood what his father meant. His father wanted him to put his roots in Yedu, serve the emperor with Gao Cheng, and become Gao Cheng's close person. Doesn't this mean that he will inherit the title in the future?

Seeing his son's stupid smile, Hou Jing was relieved, he just wanted Hou He to stabilize Gao Cheng.

In Yecheng, which is full of speculation and anxiety, the National Embassy Yilin Spring House is like a paradise. Lin Quanshe is quiet in the most prosperous place in Yedu, and it is actually a huge garden. Lin Quanshe lives up to the name of Lin Quan, and the garden has the victory of mountains and rivers. Since Xiangdong Wang Xiao Yi and his wife moved in, there have been no idlers in the park.

Yecheng, which has been overcast for many days, has the heaviest snow in winter. Gao Chengxue came to the door, and when he entered the Lin Quan House, he thought that he had gone to the wrong place, and he had never felt so relaxed and comfortable for many days. In fact, he deliberately abandoned his entourage and came in casual clothes, not like he was interested in military affairs, but as if he was looking for old friends to chat and enjoy the snow.

He and Xiao Yi are old friends? He suddenly felt a little envious of Xiao Yi. said that he was hostage in Yecheng, but he never felt sorry for this prince of Southern Liang. Invisibly, Xiao Yi also avoided Jiankang's open and secret fighting, at least it seemed like this before.

Lin Quanshe is also not bad, Da Wei is also kind to this prince of Liang, Xiao Yi lives between mountains and rivers, and he can't tell how happy he is. Whenever he thought of this, Gao Cheng felt a little jealous and hateful in his heart, feeling that he had fulfilled Xiao Yi.

It's a joke to say that jealousy and hatred are also meaningful. But Xiao Yi is indeed a very useful person to him, and he can't help but hold it tightly in his hand and treat it safely.

Cui Jishu's fat body followed behind Gao Cheng. The ground was covered with snow marks, and even after sweeping, the road was slippery. Cui Jishu was cautious, looking at his body swaying lightly from a distance, which was a bit funny.

He paid close attention. Lin Quanshe is such a big garden, and now only Xiao Yi and his wife live, but now it looks full of indifference and quiet, and it is not depressed. He also ordered people to take care of him from time to time, which is what Gao Cheng meant. The general himself will not see this prince of the Liang Kingdom, but it is certain to keep an eye on the movements at all times.

For such a long time, Xiao Yi has been very quiet.

The heavy snow covers the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, adding a fairy atmosphere, like the Toad Mansion of Qionggong. In the distance, I heard laughter stringing like silver bells, crisp and pleasant. The fresh air after the snow, and the laughter against the backdrop of this laughter makes people feel uncomfortable or not. And laughter isn't just one person.

You can still hear such laughter in Yecheng, which can't help but touch people's hearts.

The pavilions and pavilions in the snow, the green bamboo and the trees are all covered. It's not clear from a distance, maybe not too far. Gao Cheng's steps kept following the little slave who led the way, and it was in the direction of the laughter. Ever since Xiao Yi lived here, he had never been here.

Xiao Jishu looked at Gao Cheng's brisk steps and smiled secretly in his heart.

Several women in red and emerald dresses collect falling snow from bamboo leaves. Holding a clay bowl and jade bowl in his hand, the jade fingers like peeling onion roots are gently swept on the bamboo leaves. Or it's collecting falling snow, or it's taking the opportunity to have fun. Sometimes they gather together to talk about each other, and sometimes they disperse and do their own thing.

Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu had never seen this scene before. The customs of the Northern Dynasties have never been like this, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse is common, but it is not so leisurely to do something to chat to pass the time.

A beautiful woman walked out, with towering beards on her head and clusters of golden hairpins with flowers. A bird on the hairpin spreads its wings and wants to fly, with a tassel made of five-colored jade beads in its mouth hanging on the sideburns of its forehead, swaying gently with its movements. The beauty wears a brocade fur, slightly revealing the embroidered skirt, not feeling bloated, pouring ventilation and luxury, but not cheesy.

Gao Cheng recognized it at a glance as Qi Niang Xu. There are countless beauties he has seen, and Qi Niang is not particularly beautiful, but it always makes him remember it vividly. Xu is naturally different from the others, that is, the most eye-catching and the most jumpy.

Cui Jishu also recognized Xu's and pursed his lips and smiled secretly. It's rare to see Gao Cheng smile so easily these days.

"The general is reunited after a long absence," Qi Niang was not surprised to see Gao Cheng at all, walked straight over, asked with a smile, and looked carefully, "The complexion is okay." "Her concern is comfortable, not uncomfortable at all. It's very kind, and I don't think it means anything else.

However, the women behind her forgot what they were going to do, each holding a bowl and a bowl gathered together, looking here behind Qi Niang, all smiling, and from time to time they gathered together to meet each other, and sometimes couldn't hide their laughter. I don't feel presumptuous, but I seem even more innocent.

Cui Jishu knew that those women must be looking at Gao Cheng, and sighed in his heart that the prince always attracted the attention of the girls like this.

Gao Cheng didn't have any thoughts, and only smiled at Qi Niang, "Madame is okay?" How are you doing in Yecheng? ”

Qi Niang smiled, "It doesn't matter where people are, their hearts are stable." She smiled and pointed to the room not far away, "Xiao Lang has been waiting for the general for a long time. ”

Gao Cheng was a little unsatisfied, and always felt that he still had something to say to her, but he had something in his heart, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he followed Qi Niang to the house.

From Jiankang to Yecheng, the house where Xiao Qilang lived has never changed. Yecheng is even colder in winter, and the thick linen cloth covering the window can be impermeable to the wind at all, and naturally there is no light at all. And there weren't so many lights in the house, and they weren't bright enough.

Cui Jishu had just come in from the kind of fresh place after the snow outside, and he was very uncomfortable with the dullness and darkness in it. However, Qi Niang Xu may have been accustomed to her husband's quirks for a long time, and she was very obedient to him, and she was not uncomfortable at all, but she also said with great interest that she used the snow water on the freshly harvested bamboo leaves to cook tea for the honored guest, so she used this as an excuse to retreat.

As soon as Qi Niang went out, the room felt even darker.

In fact, when Gao Cheng first came in, he didn't see where Xiao Yi was at all. However, although Xiao Yi glanced at it, he was a familiar place, and at a glance, he saw Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu who had just come in from outside.

"General Gao, I haven't seen each other for a long time, today General Zhida is here to visit, and Shicheng is waiting for you." Xiao Yi deliberately got up from the banquet bed.

This room was large and empty, similar to the room where Gao Cheng first met Xiao Yi in Jiankang. Xiao Yi did not come to greet him, this is a gift from the south.

Gao Cheng didn't need to be invited, and sat down opposite Xiao Yi at will.

Xiao Yi greeted him, and Gao Cheng replied.

Both men seemed exceptionally suave.

"General, since Shicheng arrived in Yecheng and haven't seen each other for a long time, why did you suddenly think of Shicheng? Something must be wrong? Xiao Yi was suspicious of his personality, and Gao Cheng's sudden visit to him could not be undoubted. Besides, Gao Cheng has a lot of opportunities, if he has nothing to do, how can he think of him, the prince of Nanliang who is already in control?

Gao Cheng was a little surprised. Xiao Yi is not without his own power in Nanliang, and it can even be said that he is very powerful. Why didn't he even know anything about Nanliang Xingbing this time? Gao Cheng thought so in his heart, and on the surface, he naturally did not leak, and only smiled, "Brother Shicheng has been in Yecheng for several months, do you want to return?" ”

"What, the general has found a famous horse? Or is it time to hunt the world with Shicheng? Xiao Yi didn't appreciate it at all, and didn't even say a few words of greeting, so he directly moved out the secret agreement between him and Gao Cheng in Jiankang. It was a bit of a compulsion, and a little mockery, which made Gao Cheng very unhappy.

"Brother Shicheng has become the prey of others, and he can still laugh?" Although Gao Cheng's expression was indifferent, he couldn't laugh anyway.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "General Gao takes me as his prey?" ”

Cui Jishu couldn't help it, and straightened up angrily, "Why is His Highness the Seventh so confused? If the general wants to take you as his prey, what will he do? Isn't His Highness already in the hands of the Great General? Besides, the general treats His Highness's heart, and His Highness himself is fair? ”

Gao Cheng didn't stop either. There are some things he can't say, but he can use Cui Jishu. At this time, what Cui Jishu said was his words, and Xiao Yi must know it. Of course, he didn't want to question Xiao Yi about these words, but they were exactly what he wanted to say.

"Who wants me?" Xiao Yi was not stopped by Cui Jishu, but immediately reflected it, changed his complexion, and became him questioning Cui Jishu. That kind of flickering horror made Gao Cheng catch it.

"The Seventh Highness is still in Yecheng, the Southern Army has already arrived in Sizhou, the soldiers are in Pingyang, and they are ready to move across the Huai River, isn't it trying to dispose of the Seventh Highness by the hands of the general?" Cui Jishu once again knocked on Xiao Yi's heart with this question.

As soon as this question was raised, Xiao Yi was silent.

Gao Cheng stared at Xiao Yi without speaking. He just wanted to see what Xiao Yi's attitude was.

Xiao Yi's face was as pale as rice paper, and his eyes were full of resentment.

"Your Highness the Seventh, the Great General has never been a person who has gone back on his word, and to this day, His Royal Highness the Seventh can trust anyone except the Great General?" Cui Jishu asked forcefully, which was both a hint and a guide.

When Gao Cheng just entered the door, Xiao Yi, who was mocking and coerced with a little grievance, was gone. I have to say that for such a big matter, I suddenly knew that I was in danger, almost like stepping on the edge of a cliff, but Xiao Yi quickly recovered after resentment.

"Tall General Rong." Xiao Yi bowed to the ground. Gao Cheng didn't speak, silence was even more powerful, and Xiao Yi had to bend his waist. "Shicheng is willing to follow the general to Yecheng. Shicheng has heard the prestige of the general for a long time in Jiankang, and he is convinced in his heart. When Jiankang Beiye and the general first met, they were impressed at first sight. I am not talented, and I am willing to hunt the world with the general, and this heart has not changed. Today's decision is undecided, Da Wei and Liang Zhengyi work together in harmony, and it is not appropriate to cause more trouble. Cui Shilang said that Liang Xingbing wanted to offend the Great Wei, but he didn't think so. If it is really a crime, why just wait and see? I can't see the strategy of using troops, and there is no actual attack, isn't it pretentious to show the general? Even Cui Shilang understood that he wanted to use the general's hand to dispose of the deduction, what did the general think? If you really kill Shicheng, you can calm the trouble, and Shicheng has no complaints as a general. (To be continued.) )
