Chapter Twenty-Four: Fire Rises on All Sides

"The son of the world is here, waiting for me?" Gao Cheng saw Bald Tujia come out alone, and he was so surprised to see him, and he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why did Xiao Langjun come? Can I help you? Bald Tujia originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen Qian behind Gao Cheng, he wanted to say something and stopped.

Cui Jishu behind Chen Qian is familiar with Bald Jia.

Chen Qian also saw Bald Tujia, the two of them stared at each other, and they both felt that each other looked strange and unpleasant. But both of them are shrewd people, and they are self-conscious, but neither of them has spoken to anyone.

Gao Cheng and Bald Tujia walked side by side on the bridge, and Gao Cheng asked as if chattering, "How did the lord know about my brother going back to the royal court?" Do you still use such pomp and circumstance to do it with your brother? ”

Bald Tujia suddenly stopped, pulled out the big sleeves that Gao Cheng was carrying, and no longer had any scruples, and asked rhetorically, "Who said I want to go back to the royal court?" Although he did not shout loudly, his voice was very penetrating, and even the slaves and maids under the eaves of the hall in the distance looked here.

Gao Cheng's heart jumped, and he looked at him in shock and anger. "What do you mean?" Although Bald Tujia didn't leave in a hurry before, he said that he wanted to return to the royal court, so what did he mean by denying it at this time? Gao Cheng didn't expect that the first tricky thing he encountered was Rouran's trouble.

"What the general promised me has not yet been done." Bald Tujia tensed her face and reminded Gao Cheng. "The affairs of Yecheng are more important than the royal court."

Bald Tujia reminded Gao Cheng to understand in his heart, and suddenly sighed. Before, Bald Tujia told him about the growing illness of the prince of Shuofang County. The father is in danger and the son does not return, if he really waits for the day when he leaves, I don't know if Bald Tujia will regret it.

The bald Jia in front of him is himself. If Anagui dies, Bald Tujia will succeed him as the son of the world. And as the Khan of Rouran, what could be more important than the survival of the clan? The reason why he didn't return was that he didn't worry about Da Wei.

Gao Cheng suddenly sighed in his heart. It's not just that others are making things difficult for him everywhere, but he is also holding on to the problems in other people's hearts.

"Which promise does the prince remember in his heart?" Gao Cheng thought of Bald Tujia's situation, and he was able to calm down a little.

As soon as Bald Tujia was about to speak, Gao Cheng said again, "Marriage is the cousin, relatives are the inside, I regard the son of the world as a brother, and the alliance of the Great Wei and Rouran will always be formed." Rouran has something, as long as I am still in Dawei today, I will not lose. Gao Cheng stared at Bald Tujia, "The prince intercepted me here at this time, what promise do you want?" ”

Cui Jishu heard that Gao Cheng couldn't help but be free and a little anxious. It's no wonder, thinking about hearing such news in the Qiuxin Palace just now, even if the sky doesn't fall, it must be that everything will be borne by himself from now on. I don't know what kind of mood the prince is in now. I just met Bald Tujia at this time to urge.

Gao Cheng's words also reminded Bald Tujia. He really didn't come to persecute Gao Cheng, but the scene of the monarchs and ministers in the Zhaotai Hall just now really disappointed him. It seems that Da Wei will be the only one who can make Rouran rely on Xiao Langjun in the future. So what should he do now?

"Xiao Langjun," Bald Tujia whispered close to Gao Cheng, "I naturally don't believe Xiao Langjun, but I'm really worried about Xiao Langjun in my heart." ”

Not only did these words not relieve Gao Cheng's worries, but he stared at him and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Bald Tujia leaned closer, and lowered his voice lower, "That Puyang County Prince, I just talked a lot with the lord, I don't know if I want to be unfavorable to Xiao Langjun, do you want me to ......" He stopped and didn't say any more.

Gao Cheng didn't respond to him either.

Gao Cheng was poked by Bald Jia. His grudge with Hou Jing has not been a day or two, at this critical moment, if he waits for things to come out, what will Hou Jing reflect?

Gao Cheng turned back to Cui Jishu and said, "Shuzheng, when I just entered the gate, I vaguely saw the Wuwei general Hou He wandering outside, you go and bring him in." He is already at such an age, sooner or later he will enter the throne of the world, why didn't the prince take him to the palace for a banquet? ”

Cui Jishu understood what Gao Cheng meant, and accepted the order without question.

Gao Cheng said again, "Although General Wuwei is reckless, I will take his honesty alone, you might as well tell him that I intend to take him with me and entrust him with important tasks." ”

Cui Jishu responded again.

Seeing Gao Cheng deal with it like this, Bald Tujia felt at ease.

Chen Qian has been watching Gao Cheng's words and deeds.

In the Zhaotai Palace, Emperor Yuan Shanjian listened to the reply of Lin Xingren, and then saw that the door of the palace was opened. ”

This is another bombshell news. In fact, many people don't know about Liang Guo's entry into Sizhou, but the sudden arrival of the southern envoy into the palace must be a wonderful story. Think about the past, as long as the envoys of the Liang State came, something unthinkable would always happen. I wonder what the scene will be in front of you? The excitement in everyone's hearts was teased.

Only Hou Jing sat and watched proudly.

Wang Yuanhui of Jibei took the trouble to order to prepare wine and delicacies, and prepare music, song and dance.

Gao Cheng came in under such circumstances.

Gao Cheng went to the hall, and Gao Yang, who was hiding behind the curtain and was unknown, was the first person to see his eldest brother clearly.

It was at this moment that Gao Yang felt that there must be something in the eldest brother's heart. Because he's never seen him so calm and calm, it's not like his big brother. Together with the whole person, it makes people feel like a fake. His heart was entangled and confused.

Hou Jinggang noticed Chen Qian behind Gao Cheng.

He remembered that he had seen this person in Jiankang. I always feel that this person has a very strange feeling about Gao Cheng, why did Emperor Liang use this person? What exactly is he here for?

In the Zhaotai Palace, there was still an atmosphere of singing and dancing drunk and everyone debauchery in the cold and scorching cold just now. In the blink of an eye, the food was re-clothed and the wine was re-arranged, and the tidy was as good as new. The dancing girls retreated for the time being, and the Zhaotai Hall was immediately empty. Gao Cheng and Chen Qian standing in the hall became the focus of everyone's eyes.

"General, really let Lone wait. Hou Gong said that the general has something, I don't know if the general is late? Who is the one who is behind him? Yuan Shanjian laughed loudly.

Hou Jing was immediately stunned. He didn't expect Yuan Shanjian to open his mouth and confess to him. Isn't this going to make him and Gao Cheng go toe-to-toe with each other? The emperor actually had such a mind and resorted to such a means, which made Hou Jing feel that he really underestimated this person. He now somewhat understands Gao Huan's situation. Although this emperor is not very old, it is really difficult to master.

Hou Jing looked at Gao Cheng with interest, and he suddenly wondered, if Yuan Shanjian and Gao Cheng fought, then how much headache Gao Cheng would have?

When Yuan Shanjian said this, Gao Cheng just stood firm, and glanced at Hou Jing, who didn't have any meaning to explain.

Chen Qian didn't expect Wei Tianzi to be so unstable. Looks like a beautiful dissolute boy, not like the Son of Heaven anyway. However, although he has a habit of dragon yang, he doesn't just look at beauty. Like Emperor Wei Yuan, no matter how beautiful he is, he doesn't care about it. He would be more interested in seeing how his Zihui would respond.

"Chen Cheng asks Your Majesty for forgiveness." Gao Cheng knelt down first.

Chen Qian also inevitably knelt down beside him and saw Yuan Shanjian.

"The minister just stumbled on something. King Gao ordered someone to send the news, the illness had been cured, and he had just left the city from Jinyang to Yecheng to make a pilgrimage to the Lord. It's just that he is still weak, and he may not be overworked, so he can only march slowly every day, and the delay on the road will be longer, and it will take more time, hoping that His Majesty will not be guilty. As soon as the minister got the news, he knew that the lord and the ministers were looking forward to King Gao coming to Yecheng as soon as possible, so he asked in detail to go back and forth to His Majesty. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Shanjian, and he didn't squint, and he obviously saw Yuan Shanjian's smile stiff.

"The people around the minister are Wu Xing Taishou of Liang State and Chen Qian, the general of Xinwu, because the emperor of Liang State is important, he sent a special envoy to congratulate His Majesty on the victory of Xikou in Bishan." Gao Cheng also reported the identity of Chen Qian beside him to Yuan Shan, and explained the reason for the southern envoy to enter Ye, which seemed more logical.

The Zhaotai Hall was dumbfounded.

Chen Qian was on the verge of worshipping the chief.

Chen Qian is no longer the focus of Wei monarchs' attention. Everyone saw that this handsome and heroic envoy of the Liang State had a peaceful face, not like he had anything to do with the general. What's more, not too many people know about the beginning of the two countries' swordsmen. More people are still immersed in the memory of the alliance between the general Liang and Emperor Liang in Jiankang. After all, the Liang Guo proton in the embassy of Lin Quan Sheguo is a visible and real existence, which can remind this memory.

What really shocked the people in the hall was that the prime minister and King Gao had recovered from their illnesses and had set off from Jinyang, and it seemed that they were coming to Yecheng soon. The news sent a shock more than anything else. Even Gao Yang, who was secretly hiding behind the curtain, had to admire the eldest brother's composure when he saw the scene in front of him.

Yuan Shanjian also involuntarily straightened up, supported the few cases in front of him, leaned down and asked Gao Cheng, "What the general said is true?" His eyes were so complicated that it was impossible to tell what he meant. But his desire for confirmation is certain.

Wang Yuanhui of Jibei and Lin Xingren, the regular servant of Zhongzhong, all stared at Gao Cheng with all forgetfulness.

Countless eyes focused on Gao Cheng's face. It's something everyone wants to know.

After Gao Cheng kowtowed, he heard the emperor's question, he straightened up, looked up at Yuan Shanjian, and asked calmly in pretending to be puzzled, "I don't understand what Your Majesty means?" Isn't Your Majesty looking forward to King Gao's coming every day? Why didn't you feel happy at this time, but became suspicious? ”

The queen behind the curtain, Gao Yuanjun, also stared at the eldest brother in the hall. She had the illusion that something was going to happen. How she wished it was true. But her instincts told her that it couldn't be true.

Even Gao Yang thought it was true for a moment.

"That's good, that's good, Lone is very happy." Yuan Shanjian's tone was reluctant, pretending to be relaxed and happy, which made people feel extremely awkward.

Yuan Hui and Lin Xingren glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke. Yuan Hui was in a hurry to get out at this time and wanted to go out to inquire about the news. Lin Xingren was also full of questions.

"General, since the southern envoy is in the palace," Hou Jing seized this gap and asked, "The lower official wants to ask the southern envoy, since the alliance between the Great Liang and the Great Wei still exists, why is there no reason to raise troops to Pingyang, Sizhou, and want to go north with the strength of Huaishui?" At this time, an envoy was sent to congratulate him, what does this mean? ”

At this time, Gao Cheng and Chen Qian had already gotten up and sat on the set seats.

Chen Qian looked directly at Hou Jing, and replied without changing his face, "The public said that the lower officials don't know anything, and there are no Liang soldiers who have invaded friendly countries. Xia Guan only came to Yecheng to congratulate on the order of Emperor Daliang. ”

"Don't know?" Hou Jing sneered. He saw that Gao Cheng and Chen Qian had an implicit tacit understanding at this time, and he felt inexplicable. "General Jianwei Lan Jing sent troops to Pingyang, Sizhou, isn't he a minister of Daliang? He sent troops to Emperor Liang without permission, and he didn't know anything? ”

Listening to what Hou Jing said, the ministers of the palace had to believe that it was true. They all turned to Chen Qian together, and at the same time, countless people were secretly looking at the general Gao Cheng.

Chen Qian smiled, "What my lord doesn't know, why does Hou Gong know so clearly?" Does Hou Gong know this Jianwei general Lan Jing? ”

Chen Qian's question, Hou Jing fell behind, and he immediately felt that even Emperor Yuan Shanjian's gaze on him was meaningful. This person's words were sharp, and his deceit due to the power made Hou Jing extremely hateful in his heart. Fortunately, he was quick and wise, and said with a smile, "This General Lanjing, not only do I know him, but the general must be more familiar with this person." ”

The fire was led to Gao Cheng by Hou Jing again.

Unexpectedly, Gao Cheng smiled, "Duke Hou is good friends with the king of Linhe County of Liang State, and it is not uncommon for him to know Lan Jing." I don't know this person. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Hou Jing no longer paid attention to Gao Cheng, turned around and knelt down to Yuan Shanjian and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to leave the palace immediately, lead the troops to fight with Nalan Jing, and directly take Pingyang to His Majesty, and it is good to go to the general's suspicion of the minister." Without waiting for Yuan Shanjian to speak, he straightened up again and turned his head to look at Gao Cheng, "I wonder if the general is willing to let the subordinate send troops to conscript?" ”

Chen Qian was really shocked when he heard this. Hou Jing is really powerful, not only showing his innocence, but also taking the opportunity to strengthen his momentum. He knew the affairs of Wei very well, and Hou Jing seemed to have a different heart, which was the plan he wanted to get out.

What surprised him even more was that when he thought about it, Hou Jing had dealings with the prince of Linhe and even the crown prince Xiao Gang, did he really want to get involved in Liang Guo? This is something he can't bear. He can see the face of this person clearly, and it is absolutely harmful.

Emperor Yuan Shanjian laughed and said, "Hou Gong has a loyal heart, and he understands it all. As long as the general is willing, Lone has no objection. ”

The queen Gao Yuanjun, who was behind the curtain, was nothing just now, and her heart was cold when she heard this. Even she could hear that her husband was angry with Hou Jing.

Suddenly, Gao Yang, who was beside her, couldn't help but whisper angrily, "This person is hateful." I don't know who he's talking about.

Gao Cheng didn't hide from Hou Jing, and looked at him in pairs, "King Gao has never intended to use troops against the south, and Hou Gong wants to disobey?" Besides, King Gao is going to come to Yecheng in a few days, and the Hou Gong said that he missed King Gao before, and now he wants to avoid it, don't you want to see King Gao in his heart? ”

Hou Jing was squeezed to the brink, and there was really nothing to say at this time. (To be continued.) )
