Taiji Hall is the most magnificent and solemn palace in the Great Wei Imperial Palace. The emperor's enthronement, the emperor's wedding ceremony, the grand court meeting or extremely important sacrifices, and some other important court affairs are all held here.

Today in the Taiji Palace, the emperor is on a high seat, and the hundreds of officials are actually looking at a small official like Xingtai Zuocheng and Fu Sima.

Yuan Xiu's heart was a little anxious and curious, and his anticipating heart was even more regretful because he couldn't summon him privately.

As for Hu Sichun, Wang Sizheng, Yuan Bi, Yuan Baoju and other officials, they all had the same thoughts, just quietly waiting.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that the real controller of the court, Prime Minister Gao Huan, did not appear due to physical discomfort. This made the officials feel that they needed to be more cautious and careful. Sima Ziru, Sun Teng, Feng Longzhi, Gao Yue, Gao Guiyan and others have always been based on Gao Huan, and their hearts will inevitably fluctuate at this time. Although Yuwentai is a small official, behind him is the Kansai Daxing Taiga Bayue, so Yuwentai's majesty is not a trivial matter. I don't understand why the prime minister is absent today, and I can't help but feel panicked.

Sima Ziru couldn't help but glance at the prince who stood at the beginning and Gao Cheng in the waiter. Although Gao Cheng also unloaded his sword and took off his shoes, his posture seemed to be natural, standing upright like a jade tree in the wind, domineering and difficult to hide, even the Son of Heaven in the court did not have such a bearing. Sima Ziru suddenly felt that a stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he was no longer distracted. Seeing that the prince of the world is open-minded, and he looks calm when he is facing major events, he is obviously better than the blue compared to the prime minister.

It's not just Sima Ziru, but all the ministers. Although they all understood in the past, Gao Cheng had been established as the prince, and sooner or later he would be the heir of the Great Prime Minister, and the real controller of the future Great Wei Dynasty. But Gao Huan is in his prime, and Gao Cheng is still young, so no one regards Gao 3 Cheng as the real master. When Gao Cheng has just come of age, Princess Shang Fengyi, who is in the middle of the Jin Dynasty, has obviously begun to enter the court. Suddenly, this son of the world disappeared for a long time, and seemed to have faded out. I don't want to come back suddenly, the foreman is already a mature and stable person with a heart for the city. And it is rumored that the Guanxi Daxing Taihe Bayue, who was guarding Chang'an, ordered this Yuwen Zuocheng to come to Luoyang and the Jin Dynasty, which was the work of the prince. On the surface, all eyes are on Gao Cheng.

Standing on the sidelines, there is only one person watching from the wall, and that is Hou Jing.

Yu Wentai climbed the stairs and walked through the guards. When I entered the Tai Chi Hall, although I had thought about it again, I was still shocked. Unexpectedly, the main hall of court affairs in this Wei Palace is the so-called court, which is much more magnificent than he imagined. The hundreds of officials in the hall were lined up on both sides, and the emperor sat on the throne, and all eyes were fixed on him for a moment. Yu Wentai's mind suddenly became ethereal, not for this kind of power, but only felt that his heart was surging and unsettled, and he suddenly felt like a husband. As if inspired by his own heart, he stood up and entered, as if in a no-man's land, and strode towards the throne of the Son of Heaven.

"The minister Guanxi Xingtai Zuocheng, the palace Sima Yuwentai Jin to see His Majesty the Emperor, may Your Majesty live long, long live, long live." His eyes were only fixed on the Son of Heaven, and his voice was loud.

Emperor Yuan Xiu naturally ordered him to be flat. Yuan Xiu looked at Yu Wentai carefully, he was the first time he had seen this person. But I don't know why, Yuan Xiu doesn't have a good impression of this person who may help him and break Gao Huan's autocratic and arbitrary situation. I can't say why, I just feel that when I see this person, I feel cold, and there is an indescribable discomfort.

The Nanyang Wang Yuan Bao Torch standing below also subconsciously looked up at Yuan Xiu. His feeling was actually the same as Yuan Xiu's. The ingots even had some remorse, regretting that they were eager to contact the Hebayue Department when they didn't know their opponents. But now that Yuwentai has come, and He Bayue's department has been invited, it is impossible to invite out again.

Gao Cheng, who was standing towards the head of the hundred officials behind Yuwen Taiping, saluted again, and said loudly, "Chen Yuwen Tai pays a visit to Gao Shizhong." ”

Gao Cheng raised his hand to signal him to be flat, his face was gentle and polite, but when he was commensurate with his brother in private, he was completely like two people, and even made Yuwentai have a sense of distance from his superiority.

"Yuwen Zuocheng doesn't have to be polite. Today, the Son of Heaven summoned him in the Taiji Palace, and the ministers greeted him, so courteous to Yuwen Zuo Cheng, in fact, because Zuo Cheng was a powerful subordinate of General Daxing Taihe Bayue. The Son of Heaven misses General Hebayue very much, and so does the Great Prime Minister. General He Bayue did not come to the court for a long time, and the court was extremely worried, and Yuwen Zuocheng did not guard against Chen Ming, so that the Son of Heaven and the prime minister did not have to worry so much. Gao Cheng said eloquently, and the hall gradually quieted down, only to hear his sound slamming the roof of the hall.

Why He Batyue didn't come to Jin to see him, this is a matter that is very clear. One side of the princes, divided outside, the imperial family is declining, what can the Son of Heaven do? But after all, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and it is He Bayue's fault to be held accountable. The reason why Gao Cheng asked this question was precisely because of a problem for Yuwentai, and he had to put the unspeakable things in the open.

"General He Bayue misses the Son of Heaven and the Great Prime Minister, but in view of the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon, the general often sighs and tears when he looks at him." Yu Wentai hurriedly knelt down and said, "However, General Heba knows the importance of Chang'an, and I also ask the Son of Heaven and the Great Prime Minister to understand the difficulties of guarding Guanzhong. "Yu Wentai knocked as the prime minister.

If you talk about Guanzhong, it seems to be a unity on the surface. Fei Yetou's remnants and the exiles in Hexi seem to be safe. Talking about Hou Mo, Chen Yue, Cao Ni, etc., there is no invasion of harmony. But it is precisely because of the stability that seems to be born of multiple reorganizations that it is more unstable, so what Yuwentai said is not a lie. However, after all, Guanzhong has a favorable location, and then it can be combined with Shandong, and it can be located in Hangu, which is a place of self-peace.

Yuan Xiu actually didn't have such foresight and sagacity, and he didn't know Bing Ge, but he was bent on getting rid of the situation controlled by Gao Huan, so he didn't want to delve into the question of whether He Bayue came to Jinjian. Seeing that Yuwentai was so humble, he felt that he was grateful for the grace of the Son of Heaven, but he put aside a lot of the unhappiness when he first met. only said happily, "Yuwen Zuocheng doesn't have to be so tearful. Since he came, Lone no longer added to the guilt, but ......" He paused suddenly, "I wonder how Yuwen Zuocheng met a high-ranking servant in Jiankang?" ”

Yuan Xiu said that he refused to blame Yu Wentai, and the person who meant to blame was Gao Cheng. Why did Wei officials converge on Jiankang, the capital of Southern Liang? Yuan Xiu thought that he had a problem for Gao Cheng.

Who knew that Gao Cheng replied bluntly without pausing, "What Your Majesty asked is that the minister and Yuwen Zuocheng did meet in Jiankang." Saying that, he glanced at Yu Wentai, who had already gotten up, why did he go to Jiankang, this does not need to be explained, and no one dares to investigate. As for the reason why Yuwentai went to Jiankang, it is meaningless to investigate it at this moment. Gao Cheng smiled, "Does Your Majesty know?" Yuwen Zuocheng has always helped General Heba, but his own secular affairs are inevitably delayed, and he originally admired the prosperity of Confucianism in the Southern Dynasty, and naturally longed for it. He said it very vaguely, but he turned a public issue that was originally involved in government politics into a private personal issue.

Listening to Gao Cheng's eloquent play, Yuwentai couldn't help but glance at Gao Cheng. Thinking about how to talk to the emperor. This is a hidden pain in his heart that he doesn't want to touch, not to mention that the initiator is this high servant. Thinking of the white clothes fluttering by the river, and thinking of the promise he made in Tongtai Temple, he almost couldn't hold his mind anymore and flew over to Jiankang.

"Yuwen Zuocheng is still unmarried?" Yuan Xiu was really surprised and curious when he heard Gao Cheng's words, and even felt that this was a good opportunity. He glanced at the Nanyang Wang Yuan Bao Torch, and then looked at the servant Hu Sichun. Yuan Bao Ju frowned, but Hu Sichun seemed to give him an encouraging look. How could Hu Sichun, who had cultivated to perfection, not know what the emperor was thinking?

Yuan Xiu decided to seize this opportunity, so he smiled, "Since that's the case, you don't have to go as far as Jiankang. Da Wei also has a woman who is deeply immersed in Confucianism. The eldest princess is a lady with both talent and virtue, a fair lady, a good gentleman, coinciding with Yuwen Zuocheng's entry into the capital, it is really a match made in heaven, and I will give you a decree to get married. ”

It seems that Yuan Xiu has made up his mind to win over Yuwentai, so as to contact He Bayue behind Yuwentai to fight against Gao Huan. The eldest princess's name is Yuan Yuying, and she is the eldest sister of Yuan Xiu. Yuwentai is still the eldest princess, so that Yuwentai became the brother-in-law of Emperor Yuanxiu in private, and the relationship was very close all of a sudden.

Yuwentai and the ministers were unexpected. Yuwentai is in the middle, Emperor Yuanxiu and Daxingtai He Bayue are on both sides, for Yuwentai, there is a problem with whether this family affair is accepted or not, and he will be in a dilemma.

Gao Cheng was also stunned, but he didn't expect Yuan Xiu to suddenly give marriage.

Hou Jing, who had been watching for a long time, secretly calculated in his heart, observing the expressions of Yu Wentai and Gao Cheng.

Sima Ziru and the others all looked at Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Shengming, this is very good." Yuwen Zuocheng should not live up to His Majesty's kindness. ”

Yu Wentai also thought about it, and it seems that this marriage can only be accepted at the moment. So he gave a very happy thanksgiving. When Xie Guo was about to get up, Gao Cheng suddenly smiled again, "Yuwen Zuocheng and don't be in a hurry to get up." He also said to the emperor Yuan Xiu on the seat, "Your Majesty please Shi Longen again." ”

Yuan Xiu saw that the marriage was completed, and he was happy. But Gao Cheng interrupted, I didn't know what he meant, for fear that good things would turn bad, so he asked vigilantly, "Gao Shi is here." ”

Gao Cheng said, "Yuwentai is now an official in the office of Zuo Cheng and Sima of the Mansion, and the body of the little official is incomparable to that of the eldest princess. Please ask Your Majesty to seal the general of the Hussars of Yuwentai and add the servants. Without waiting for Emperor Yuan Xiu to answer, he smiled at Yuwentai, who was still kneeling on the ground, "General Yuwen, Princess Shangchang, if you talk about it, it is my uncle." The general is still promoted to the rank of official, and he is grateful to His Majesty Longen. ”
