Chapter 298: The Rising Storm and the Couple Have Two Hearts (1)

Cui Xianam's words can be regarded as opening up another way for Gao Cheng, which made Gao Cheng's mood greatly open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The remaining two people, Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang, one advocated abolishing Yuan Zhonghua and then being Rouran, which was completely considered by Gao Cheng personally; The other thinks that it may not be a good thing to abolish Yuan Zhonghua and be soft, there are too many gains and losses, and it is difficult to calculate right and wrong.

Regarding this matter, Gao Cheng actually has his own bottom line in his heart. It's just that he feels that trying his best to keep one point is one point, and he can't let Yuan Zhonghua have any more unhappiness in his heart at this critical moment of childbirth, so that he has a mistake, which he must not allow.

said something else, and Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, and Cui Xian left together. Gao Cheng naturally stayed in Dongbaitang and did not leave again. Later, the old system was restored, and more than half of the time was spent in Toshikado. Gao Cheng is not only convenient for governance, but also accompanied by beauties, which makes Yuan Yuyi a lot happier.

selection of talents and officials; new laws to punish corruption; Widening the way of speech in the world can make the people slander the government. General Gao Cheng's new deal is in full swing. On the surface, it seems to be very smooth, and a series of changes have gone from being difficult to accept at the beginning to having to be accepted, and even getting some support after slowly seeing results. Although the operation is difficult, it can be regarded as fruitful.

The temple is gradually calming, but there is an undercurrent in the palace. Although the general Gao Cheng asked Emperor Yuan Shan to see the matter after the abolition, there were no superfluous people at that time, but this news naturally could not be hidden. I don't know if the news leaked in Zhaotaiguan at the beginning, or if Yuan Shanjian leaked the news in Jiaofang Hall when he told Empress Gao Yuanjun later, anyway, it has been spread in the palace ban in private.

Emperor Yuan Shanjian seemed to be **** distressed, and he did not move, waiting for the opportunity in his heart. Because of the matter itself, Queen Gao Yuanjun made frequent moves, first ordering someone to go to Jinyang Bafu to send a letter to his father, Prime Minister Gao Huan, and then ordered his second brother Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that Gao Yuanjun didn't know that there were others to help her. The confidant of the eldest brother Gao Cheng, Cui Jishu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, also quietly ordered someone to go to Jinyang to send a letter to King Gao after her, saying the same thing.

There are many trees in the inner garden, and it is cool in summer. This inconspicuous side hall in the shade of the tree is the place where Gao Yuanjun was first established as the queen, and ordered the women to change their clothes and rest when the palace ceremony was celebrated. It's just that the queen Gao Yuanjun and her second brother Gao Yang, the Duke of Taiyuan, who are sitting in the hall at this moment, don't know that it was outside this side hall that Gao Cheng bumped into Hou Jing's son, General Wuwei, and was rude to Li Zu'e, the Duchess of Taiyuan.

Gao Cheng scared Hou He away and teased his younger brother-in-law, and it was the princess Yuan Zhonghua who witnessed everything in the side hall at that time.

Gao Yuanjun's eyes were already red, and he saw that the second brother was silent, and cried, "The second brother is now full-fledged, so he won't care about his sister." She wiped away her tears and sighed dejectedly, "No wonder, not only the relatives of the Gao family and the Lou family, but also the old people of my father and the old temple are also willing to get close to the second brother, where is the second brother willing to care about such a trivial matter as me." She deliberately put the word "trivial" a little heavier.

Because the general eliminated maladministration, and the strict punishment and law were not emotional, which made people feel that it was rare to get close, and these people referred to by Gao Yuanjun were more willing to approach Gao Yang, the younger brother of the general, who seemed to be honest and bulliful. is also the son of King Gao, if he supports Gao Yang, he can at least keep his interests from being damaged.

"Your Highness said that, I am really speechless." Gao Yang straightened up and knelt down and replied, "Those people do come to my mansion often, but I never dare to see them. The general is the son of the world, and he is the young master of the Gao family, how can I fight against the eldest brother for the selfish interests of outsiders? It's just that I'm not as smart as my eldest brother, and this matter is the eldest brother's decision, Hou Niyu really doesn't know how to help His Highness, and asks His Highness to make it clear. ”

Gao Yang looked helpless, and he was respectful to his sister, which made him more stupid.

"The second brother doesn't need to call me 'Your Highness', just when the second brother still sees me as a younger sister, he has mercy on me. The Lord didn't dare not listen to the eldest brother, and he was already worried. The eldest brother no longer treats me as a younger sister, and he doesn't miss the love of brother and sister, and he doesn't pity me and the lord's flounder, but only wants to please Rouran. Thinking about how he treated his eldest sister that day, it really makes people's teeth cold. Except for the second brother, I have nothing to rely on in Yecheng, and even the second brother won't help me? I have already ordered someone to go to Jinyang to deliver a letter to my father, can my father let my eldest brother instigate the Lord to abolish me? ”

Gao Yang heard Gao Yuanjun suddenly mention "eldest sister", his heart jumped, and he subconsciously looked up at Gao Yuanjun. Gao Yuanjun didn't seem to know the inside story of this matter at all. He thought carefully in his heart that the matter of abolishing the queen would not outweigh the losses for the Gao family, and his father would definitely not allow it. Now that the letter has been delivered, my father must come to Yecheng when he gets the news.

Gao Yuanjun said as he spoke, Gao Yang listened absentmindedly, his face was cloudy, and he was calculating in his heart. At this time, if he helped Gao Yuanjun once, there is no doubt that this Empress of Great Wei will definitely look at him differently in the future, and there will be no difference. In the queen's heart, he will cross the eldest brother.

Even if he helped the queen to persuade him against the will of the eldest brother at this time, it would be nothing, anyway, his father, the prime minister, Gao Huan, would soon arrive in Yecheng. What my father wanted was to take the power of Rouran into his own hands. If he persuaded the eldest brother to abolish the princess and set up Princess Rouran as the concubine, he would be in the same mood as his father. This is for the sake of the Gao family, and he must be valued by his father, and it seems that the eldest brother does not know the depths.

can not only get the queen's gratitude, but also get the respect of the father, and compare the eldest brother in the father's heart, what is there to shirk such a good thing? So Gao Yang happily agreed, "Your Highness is now the Empress of Great Wei, so I naturally have to be respectful and humble." Hou Niyu still thinks His Royal Highness is sister in his heart. Since my sister is so embarrassed, I naturally can't stand idly by. Today, I will persuade the eldest brother to change the princess by himself and not covet the queen's throne. ”

Gao Yuanjun saw that he was silent just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, I suddenly heard the second brother express his meaning so clearly, and I was overjoyed. She understands that as long as the second brother is willing to persuade, even if it is for a while, when her father arrives in Yecheng, there will be room for change.

Gao Yang's shadow flashed in his heart. If the eldest brother really abolished her, it would be a big surprise for him, and he was both excited and uneasy in his heart, and even at this time, he was a little like sitting on pins and needles.

Gao Yuanjun's heart was temporarily settled. After talking for a long time, my mouth was dry, and I held tea and sipped it. deliberately glanced at the second brother quietly. She also knew in her heart that if she asked the second brother to persuade the eldest brother, she would definitely make big waves, and the second brother would definitely be wronged. But now I can't take care of the second brother. There are already many contradictions between their brothers, and they don't care about this more. The second brother couldn't persuade the eldest brother, but she filled in it in vain to delay the time, so as to wait for his father to come back soon, thinking of this, Gao Yuanjun still felt a little used by the second brother in his heart.

In the Taiyuan Mansion, in the courtyard where the Duchess of Taiyuan Li Zu'e lived, the slaves and maids went in and out, busy serving the lady and preparing for the door.

The lord of Lang, Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang, was announced into the palace by the queen. The moonlight looked at the bronze mirror and looked at his makeup, with his temples and faces, eyebrows, and cheeks, and he was very satisfied, and got up and walked to the courtyard.

Wan'er followed behind the mistress. Madame is going out to visit the eldest sister-in-law, the general's wife, and Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua in the General's Mansion. Slaves and maidservants were busy decorating and changing their wives; Prepare the carriage and horses to go out; The gifts prepared for the general's wife were prepared a long time ago, nothing more than clothing, food, and accessories, all of which were rare and exquisite things.

Yueguang repeatedly asked Wan'er to ask, saying that the general had been living in Dongbaitang these days and had not returned home. But Wan'er always felt that what the housemother thought in her heart was not the same as the reality. I asked again and again, as if I was afraid of bumping into it, but I was so deliberately pretending, how could I explain it?

Wan'er also knew that the general had completely broken the heart of the master's mother, and every time she teased the mother, she couldn't see her infatuation. Since the housewife married the Duchess of Taiyuan, she has never mentioned the general to her. But the master's mind knows better than anyone else. The more you don't mention it, the more you can't let it go.

I'm hurt deeply, my heart is cold, it's time to let go. Wan'er thought it was like that. Today, I suddenly found out that it is not like that.

Looking at the back of the moonlight standing under the eaves, Wan'er didn't understand in her heart, how could the general not like such a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city as the housewife? I have never been attentive to my mother, and I have never been serious. Wan'er has also seen the princess Yuan Zhonghua, and thinks that she is just because she is the lord's sister, so the general values her, right? I heard that the general wanted to marry Rouran, and it was rumored that the general wanted to abolish the princess and re-establish Princess Rouran as the concubine. If this eldest princess is deposed, I'm afraid she won't be as good as her own housewife.

The sun is still shining, the weather is still cool, and the sky is clear and clear. Moonlight walked down the stone steps in front of the house, looking at the slaves and maids who came and went in the yard to prepare gifts for the princess Yuan Zhonghua. The moonlight carefully examines them one by one. In fact, to put it mildly, she and Yuan Zhonghua can be regarded as having some affection. Since Yuan Zhonghua became pregnant, she has never visited her.

Moonlight didn't notice that a slave had hurried into the courtyard, frowned, and hurried to her with a slightly heavy face, and called, "Madam." ”

Moonlight stopped and looked up at her, seeing that her expression was different, she couldn't help but smile, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Great General is here." The slave replied timidly.

The moonlight didn't reflect for a while, didn't answer, and looked at the slave maid, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.

Wan'er, who was a little far behind the moonlight, saw that the hostess was a little strange, and hurriedly walked over. She was far away, and she didn't hear anything from the slave.

"Presumably, the general is here to find the Duke of Taiyuan." When Wan'er came over, she happened to hear Moonlight say this. Wan'er also jumped in her heart. Isn't the general very busy these days, and he is all in Dongbaitang? Why did you suddenly come to Taiyuan Mansion? She couldn't help but look up at the moonlight's expression carefully.

The moonlight looks calm and normal, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. "Go and tell the general that the Duke of Taiyuan has entered the palace and is not in the mansion, please take care of the general." The meaning of the moonlight is to tell Gao Cheng that if he is looking for his younger brother, Gao Yang is not there, and it is inconvenient to stay as a guest, so please ask the general to go by himself.

The messenger listened to the master's mother's command and hurried out again.

Moonlight didn't bother to look at the gift again. It seems that she will not be able to go to the General's Mansion today. I didn't know what Gao Cheng was going to do, she was a little confused.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm not going today." Moonlight turned back to Wan'er and commanded.

Wan'er thought, how could the general's temper leave? In his eyes, the Taiyuan Mansion is like his own home, and he can go in and out as he wants.

Moonlight didn't speak, and walked a few steps between the cages that were all over the ground, glancing at what was placed on the ground, as if absent-minded. At last, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and was about to go to the house, but before he had reached the stone steps, he heard the slave and maid calling "Madam" behind him.

It was still the slave just now, who said that the general had listened to the report and knew that the Duke of Taiyuan was not in the house, so he asked the master and his wife to go out to meet him.

Moonlight half-turned to look at the slave.

Wan'er knew that this would be the result, and she also looked at the moonlight.

"Say that it is inconvenient for me to meet with the general. If the general is willing to wait, please wait outside the hall. Moonlight spoke in a cold tone.

The slave and maid hurried away again.

As soon as Moonlight said this, Wan'er felt that this was inappropriate. If it were someone else, it would be okay, but who is this domineering general? How could he obediently listen to someone else's orders? If you provoke him, who knows what he'll do?

"Come in, I'm tired." Moonlight watched the slave who was passing the word go out for a while, and there was no sound outside, and then she was relieved. reluctantly suppressed the imperceptible loss in his heart, and instructed Wan'er. She was refreshed just now, but now she really feels tired.

"Madame stops." Suddenly, a voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

The voice struck the sensitive part of Moonlight's nerves, and she couldn't help but tremble, like some kind of command, making her stop and turn back immediately. Who else else will it be besides Gao Cheng? He actually broke into her yard.

Wan'er was not surprised at all, knowing that this would be the result.

Gao Cheng didn't wear an official uniform, only a crimson robe, a hooked belt around his waist, a small crown on his head, and brocade shoes under his feet, just walking in like a leisurely and slow walk, which made people feel that he was a little too casual.

Moonlight looked at him as he walked over, her expression cold. Only Wan'er saw that her eyes were a little red. Speaking of the general's mischief towards the master's mother, even Wan'er was extremely dissatisfied with Gao Cheng in her heart.

Gao Cheng walked over and glanced at the objects placed in the courtyard. "Brother and sister really don't want to see me? When I want to visit the princess, I have to pick up when I am not in the house. He didn't have to ask, he probably knew what the moonlight was going to do at a glance. As he spoke, he looked at the moonlight with admiration. thinks that she is dressed very beautifully today, which is particularly pleasing to his eyes.

"The second brother is not in the mansion, so I'll wait here for him to come back, okay?" Gao Cheng stopped and asked with a smile.

Yueguang also slowly walked a few steps towards him, gave a salute, and replied lightly, "I'm afraid that I'm waiting here for the general Jian, and the Duke of Taiyuan will come back to blame me." The general still went to the front hall and waited. Naturally, there will be slaves and maids who will serve the general well. The moonlight narrowed her eyes and didn't look at Gao Cheng.

So quiet in the yard. I don't know if anyone is still there.

It was so quiet that it was as if all of a sudden all of a sudden everyone had disappeared.

Only Wan'er watched boldly, and saw Gao Cheng smiling, staring at the moonlight with a pair of green eyes.

Moonlight stared down at the hem of her dress.

Suddenly, a pair of incomparably exquisite brocade shoes appeared in her eyes, and the embroidered divine beasts on them could be seen clearly. She was just about to look up, when she heard Gao Cheng's voice above her head, "Brother and sister just send slaves and maids to perfunctory me?" What if I want my younger siblings to serve? ”
