Chapter 30: Saving the Situation
"General, although Gao Zhongmi has rebelled, it has not become his situation, so there is no need to be too anxious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Gao Zhongmi was originally a person valued by King Gao, and he never had two hearts, so he must have been confused for a while. The general might as well send a letter to Gao Zhongmi, ask for the reason, and persuade him to come back. Chen Yuankang was the first to speak.
Cui Jishu inadvertently turned his head, and saw that his nephew Cui Xian, who was sitting next to him, had an angry look again, and seemed to be about to talk about it again. He secretly held down Cui Xian in an emergency.
Cui Xian was just about to speak, but he was pressed tightly by his uncle, he was surprised in his heart, and looked at his uncle's expression and asked.
Cui Jishu didn't look at Cui Xian, just held him down, but he raised his eyes to look at Gao Cheng in the seat.
Gao Cheng nodded frequently and sighed, "What Brother Changyou said is extremely true. Yuwen Black Otter has always been able to speak flatteringly, which is the so-called clever talker. Such a person, no matter how much profit is promised, is unattainable. It was Gao Zhongmi who was confused for a while and mistakenly believed Yuwen Black Otter. Since Gao Zhongmi is my uncle, I naturally want to protect it. ”
Gao Cheng said and suddenly let go of the right hand holding Li Changyi's hand and stood up by himself.
"Yuwen Black Otter sent troops into the country, but it is just to explore the truth, if it is advantageous, take the opportunity to seize it, and abandon it if it is not profitable, how can it really be for Gao Zhongmi's safety? It's a pity that Gao Zhongmi's eyes are clumsy, and he can't see Yuwen Black Otter's intentions clearly for a while. Gao Cheng took a few steps forward, a little farther away from the big bed.
Li Changyi sat still, listening intently to Gao Cheng. Listening to Chen Yuankang's meaning, he still wanted to redeem it. She was also half-convinced in her heart, she didn't know if Gao Zhongmi was confused, and she didn't understand it for a while.
Gao Cheng continued, "Not to mention that Situ Hou Gong is now in Henan, Gao Zhongmi will raise troops to quell the rebellion if there is a change. Even his younger brother Gao Zi guarded the fortress and stood behind him, how could he allow his brother to rebel against King Gao and join the thief? Gao Zhongmi really made a mistake. ”
Cui Jishu felt that his nephew didn't have the intention of breaking free from him at this time. He glanced sideways at Cui Xian, who had already sat back on the seat, and seemed to understand in his heart that this was the general and Chen Yuankang singing a double reed.
"What the general said," Chen Yuankang said again, "The black otter came here just to have a plan, and it came from afar, and there was no geographical advantage. Failure to keep the three-year covenant is treachery. The general should take it quickly. ”
Gao Cheng turned around and walked towards the big bed again, "The North Central City and Heyin City on both sides of the river bridge must not be defended, and this will cut off the Yuwen Black Otter's heart to seek access. Then send troops to defend Luoyang, Kim Yong, and Baigu, and then cut off the passage of the convergence of Yuwen Black Otter and Gao Zhongmi. There is a cypress valley in front and a shackle in the back, and even if Gao Zhongmi coerces the tiger prison, he is just painting the ground for himself. It is difficult for the tiger to get out of the box, and when the time comes, Gao Zhongmi will have a dead end, and it will be too late to regret it. ”
"The general's clever plan, Gao Zhongmi is a moth to the fire, and he will kill himself." Cui Jishu smiled at this time.
Li Changyi saw Gao Cheng stop in front of her, and just raised his head to look at her, his green eyes were like a bottomless cold pool. Gao Cheng stood in front of her and looked at her, staring at her uncomfortably.
"Ma'am." Gao Cheng called.
Li Changyi had just lowered her eyes when she heard Gao Cheng suddenly call her, she was shocked, and she didn't understand what he was going to do in front of so many henchmen.
When she raised her head, she saw Gao Cheng snorting at her.
Li Changyi suddenly became alert, she was sitting on the big bed, and then subconsciously immediately got up to dodge, and refused in a panic, "The general is such a big gift, the concubine will never dare to accept it." A mere woman, unbearable to be driven, and even more useless to her family and country, ashamed to accept the general's salute. If the general is so condescending, the concubine can only die to repay him. ”
Cui Jishu looked at Li Changyi with a smile, full of interest, and smiled secretly in his heart, feeling that the prince had really met an opponent. This little lady of the Li family is really not comparable to ordinary women, and she dares to fight with the prince so much. This time, the son of the world is really in trouble.
"The lady doesn't have to be so arrogant," Gao Cheng was neither unhappy nor embarrassed in the face of Li Changyi's refusal, "The lady is a devout and godly person, and she must have a compassionate heart." As long as the lady can repair the book and Gao Zhongmi, and persuade her to return to Yecheng, Zihui will not be investigated. In this way, Gao Zhongmi can retreat with his whole body, the lady can reunite with his wife, the land of Henan can avoid the misery of life, and the Yuwen black otter will also return in vain, which can make the Great Wei Society worry-free. The lady can be counted in one fell swoop, so why not do it? If it is done, not only will the son be grateful, but the Lord will also be generously rewarded. ”
Hearing Gao Cheng say "husband and wife reunion", Li Changyi hated it even more. She was kidnapped by him to Dongbaitang because she thought she was a hostage and wanted to threaten Gao Zhongmi. It seems that the threat is not successful, and it is both soft and hard, and it is used. Asking her to write to Gao Zhongmi was only a temporary method, and if she really succeeded in lobbying, everyone would be happy. Under this great joy, her result and Gao Zhongmi's fate are unknown. Anyway, as long as he lures Gao Zhongmi back to Yecheng, he will have no worries. If it doesn't work, how can he care about her in the future, and he will ruthlessly use troops against Gao Zhongmi, so that he will die and get rid of the trouble.
He said that she was a devout and god-worshipping person, which made her immediately think of the time when she wanted to marry Gao Zhongmi in the Zhonghuang Mountain Wa Huang Temple, and he spied on it. Was this his deliberate sarcasm?
Li Changyi was angry, hateful and unwilling, and her heart was unbearable.
Not only Gao Cheng, but Chen Yuankang and Er Cui also looked at her.
"Madam is a person that Gao Zhong secretly devotes to her heart, and she is afraid that he will not listen to what she says?" Cui Xian finally couldn't help but sneer.
Li Changyi finally raised his eyes and looked at Gao Cheng, and bowed, "The general is a kind person, and he thinks everything for the sake of his family, country, and society, which makes the concubine admire, how dare she disobey her orders?" Since the general said that a concubine can save the living soul from being ruined by repairing a book, the society is worry-free, and the concubine obeys the order. ”
Looks snug and snuggly. Gao Cheng was satisfied, but Cui Jishu was extremely sensitive, and always felt that something was wrong with Li Changyi.
"Madame is Zihui's benefactor, so she doesn't have to be so gifted." Gao Cheng came over to help Li Changyi with his own hands. He was satisfied, and he began to speak a little.
Li Changyi just saw that he was protecting himself and not allowing his henchmen to accuse her, so he had a good impression of him, and then he felt that everything before was a foreshadowing, just for the use of the last step, at this time, he didn't believe Gao Cheng at all, but said with a smile on his face, "The general's words are serious, such a good thing, the concubines all obey orders." ”
The weather in Chang'an has been hot and humid for several days, and it has been raining continuously.
The entire Wei Palace was silent, and it seemed that something terrible undercurrent was brewing in the silence.
Fengyi Palace, the former residence of the queen, is especially like a cage today.
The few remaining Rouran slaves and maids served their masters with all their hearts, and how could they not panic in their hearts? The rest of the original palace maids naturally didn't dare to be instructed, but they were always whispering in groups in the dark. If it was seen by Taorui or those Rouran slaves, they immediately pretended to be nothing and dispersed.
The imperial doctor's order is **** to come, diagnose the pulse, decoction of medicine, nothing but attentive enough. Tao Rui thought about it, this is what happened after the son of the world came to visit on that day.
The rain was not heavy, but it was pouring down, as if there was no end to it. Tao Rui stood under the eaves outside the hall and looked into the distance. The palace doors were closed, as if they had never been opened. The Emperor Yuan Bao Torch never visited the pregnant queen. Hearing that the emperor himself is also seriously ill, Taorui doesn't know if this is true.
I felt that the princess was really pitiful, her husband was like a stranger, and her relatives couldn't see each other, and even she was imprisoned here by Prime Minister Yuwentai and couldn't be free. It's just that she is sick in pregnancy, and her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she can't get out even if she wants to go.
Now even the son of the world has no weight in the prime minister's words. What a soft iron ride, it turned out to be an ethereal thing.
"Peach!" was staring at the drizzle that was falling, and suddenly a palace maid shouted loudly behind him. Taorui quickly turned around. "The queen is uncomfortable, I want you to go quickly!" The palace maid said to her indifferently. It sounds like whether the queen is comfortable or not has nothing to do with her at all, I just know that the queen wants to be called Taorui, what does it matter to her?
Tao Rui turned around and hurried to the palace, not caring why the slave didn't hurry up and tell the imperial doctor's order. In fact, she also knew in her heart that even if she told the imperial doctor's order, it would not be of much use. The imperial doctor's order and the medical **** are all guarded in the Fengyi Palace. But the queen's pulse was also diagnosed, and the medicine was also eaten, but she became weaker and weaker day by day.
Tao Rui entered the hall and almost collided with a rushing Rouran slave. The slave was very anxious, and told her in a soft language that the princess was very bad. Then he pulled the peach stamen through the curtain and entered the dormitory inside.
The bed nets are all hooked. The queen Yu Jiulu was lying on the couch with a huge belly. The imperial physician has already diagnosed that Luo Ying is pregnant with twins. Luo Ying was tossing and turning uncomfortably on the couch at this time, but no matter how she lay down, it was extremely uncomfortable for her.
The stomach was a huge burden, and she couldn't bear it. And the main thing is that no matter how much she rolls around, she feels like a fire burning in her chest, which makes her restless. And she couldn't breathe no matter how hard she tried. It's not just because of the stuffiness in the hall, it's the stagnation in her heart that makes her unable to relieve it.
Taorui watched Yu Jiulu gasp hard one breath after another, tearing the clothes around her neck with her hands, and when she saw her coming in, she called out in her mouth, "Taorui......" Her eyes were actually weak. This really shocked Taorui, who had just noticed, where had I ever seen a princess have such eyes?
"Your Highness......" Taorui fell to the ground, knelt in front of the couch, and forcefully pulled away the hand that Luo Ying tore at her neckline, and held it in her hand. She was completely panicked, in this cold Wei Palace, who could come to save the princess?
"Bald Bulgar ......," Luo Ying read her brother's name.
Tao Rui was reminded at this time, by the way, the bald Jiazi.
The rain kept falling, but Zhao Gui, the hussar general in charge of the palace guards, didn't care that he was being drenched in the rain. He came out of the Liangyi Hall and listened to the whispers of his subordinate generals, and he was already frowning as he listened. The branch opened the general, and was about to return to the Liangyi Palace, when he saw that the prime minister Yu Wentai had come out of it smoothly.
There is ice in the Liangyi Hall to relieve the heat, and the hall is tall and deep, so it is not so hot. Zhao Gui saw that the neatly dressed prime minister was staring at him and walking over, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"Yuangui ......," Yuwentai stood in front of the stairs and called.
Zhao Gui walked to Yuwentai's side, quite embarrassed, "Lord, the prince of the world Bald Tujia forcibly broke into the palace gate, and he didn't dare to do anything to him, I'm afraid I can't stop it." ”
A hard block may hurt the bald protrusion. If you can't stop the break-in, it's your own dereliction of duty. Zhao Gui was indeed embarrassed.
Originally, I thought that Yuwentai would be unhappy, but I didn't expect Yuwentai to smile faintly and said, "If the prince wants to come in to visit the queen, then let him in, so as to fulfill his sisterly affection." The queen is afraid that she will not be able to give birth, and it will be within a few days, and the prince should send her. At least I can testify that the queen is because she is too weak and has a difficult birth, and if she doesn't let him see it, she thinks that someone murdered the queen. When the time came, the prince of Shuofang County asked and said it clearly. ”
Zhao Gui looked a little uncertain, and stabilized his mind and said, "Shuofang County Duke is a smart person, he won't ask about this, let alone question the prime minister." ”
Yuwentai raised his head and looked into the distance, and the rain was endless. Zhao Gui saw that his dark and big eyes were calm and unusually calm.
"The big war is coming, it's not quiet outside, so it's good to let the prince stay in the palace. He always likes to wander around, and it's not a good thing to have extraneous branches, it's all for his good. Yu Wentai commanded again. He seemed to be studying when the rain would stop, and he didn't look at Zhao Gui.
I see. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. Zhao Gui suddenly realized at this time and understood Yuwentai's intentions clearly. He wanted to imprison the son of Rouran, Bald Tujia, in the palace, so that he would not be resentful and join forces with Gao Cheng to compete with Chang'an.
Bald Tujia didn't care about the rain, and he didn't care about his subordinates who were stopped outside the palace gate, so he pulled his feet and ran towards the Fengyi Palace. In the rain, his shadow quickly disappeared between the palaces.
In the Fengyi Palace, the queen Yu Jiulu on the couch in the inner bed suddenly struggled to get up. She felt that her whole body was suffocating unbearably, and it was not just as simple as not being able to breathe. Tao Rui helped her, and her heart became even more frightened.
The queen is not cared for here, and although the imperial doctor also diagnoses the pulse and prescribes prescriptions, the medicine is ineffective. She wants to send news to the prince, maybe only the prince can save the queen at this time. But the palace is strictly forbidden, she can't even go out of the Fengyi Palace, how can she go out of the palace to send news to the prince?
"Taorui......" Luoying couldn't stand, and her heavy body was almost leaning on Taorui. The eldest princess was not killed by me......" She suddenly grabbed Taorui's hand and said.
"Your Highness!" Taorui was very scared, looking left and right, but fortunately no one was in front of her. In the palace, the topic of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying is taboo, and no one dares to mention it.
"She should be damned!" Luo Ying suddenly hated again.
Tao Rui helped Luo Ying, who was barely standing, and just wanted to comfort and guide her away from her train of thought, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Queen!" The Rouran slave ran in from outside, "Shizi...... The Son of the World is coming! ”
At this time, Taorui was really surprised and delighted.
Luo Ying also suddenly came to his senses. She stopped making a fuss, and helped Taorui to show a smile. (To be continued.) )
