Chapter 57: The New Lord of the Imperial Capital (Part II)

Gao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and in the dim dust, the emerald glowing light up everything.

"What are you looking at?" Gao Cheng looked at Cui Jishu, who was staring at him, and asked impatiently.

"The prince was unaccustomed to the water and soil all the way, and the weather in Chang'an changed abruptly, and the cold air invaded the body and the diet was improper, resulting in abdominal pain. Now it is necessary to regulate the spleen and stomach and drive away cold qi in order to heal. Cui Jishu looked at the words and said authentically.

As soon as Cui Jishu's voice fell, before Gao Cheng could speak, there was a soft "click" sound outside the window, like the sound of some dry branch falling to the ground. Originally, there was nothing strange, but Cui Jishu actually jumped up and strode to the window to listen carefully, very nervous.

Gao Cheng half-propped himself up, looked at Cui Jishu strangely, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Cui Jishu didn't care about answering for a while, and after listening to it for a long time, there was no change, so he walked back to the couch and sat down, looked at Gao Cheng and whispered softly, "Didn't Lord Lang feel strange along the way?" ”

"Strange? What's unusual? Gao Cheng asked puzzled. But as soon as the words came out, his heart suddenly trembled, and he seemed to feel something. He didn't say anything more, just pondered.

"Don't you think that someone has been following us faintly on the road?" Cui Jishu saw that Gao Cheng didn't speak, so he prompted.

If so, who? Gao Cheng twisted his eyebrows and looked at Cui Jishu again, as if asking.

Cui Jishu also looked at Gao Cheng, and the two looked at each other, as if they were looking at each other in silence.

Hou Jing? The first thing that came to Cui Jishu's heart was this person. But it was immediately denied. There is no need for this at all, he himself has been with the prince all the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, what can't he hear? What can't be seen? There is no need to send someone to spy on it. And the feeling in Cui Jishu's heart clearly told him that the people who followed them didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but were just curious. This is even stranger.

Ingot torch? The first person that came to Gao Cheng's mind was him. Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch was ordered by the emperor to go to Guanzhong to take over the military and political power, and the next thing must be a logical thing. If the ingot torch has any scruples, then the person with the most scruples is Gao Cheng. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

But Gao Cheng quickly overturned his idea. The most important thing for the Yuan Bao Torch at the moment is to arrive in Chang'an first and smoothly take over government affairs and military affairs. Once the power is in hand, why bother with him? Why is it necessary for the ingot torch to be distracted and stare at him at this critical time?

Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu were thinking carefully in their hearts, and suddenly their hearts moved at the same time, thinking of someone together.

"Yuwentai!" The two men spoke in unison.

"Where is Yuwentai now?" Gao Cheng couldn't lie down anymore, jumped up, and lifted Cui Jishu's clothes that covered him.

Before he finished speaking, his body was not yet steady, and then he stumbled. Cui Jishu saw that his face was pale and frowned, and he knew that he was still not at peace, and he must have abdominal pain again. He hugged Gao Cheng and said to himself, "The weather is too cold, I don't know when it will warm up, and Lord Lang doesn't have any hot soup here, what can I do?" ”

At this time, there was a soft "click" outside the window. This time, Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu glanced at each other.

Gao Cheng pushed Cui Jishu away and called loudly, "Chen Yuankang! ”

In an instant, the chai door was opened, and sure enough, it was Chen Yuankang, the general of Weilie, who came in. Gao Cheng immediately swept away his doubts and asked, "Brother Changyou, is Yuwentai in Chang'an?" ”

"Shizi," Chen Yuankang replied, "When Daxingtai He Bagong met with Hou Mo Chen Yue to conquer Cao Ni, he got the news before he arrived at Shanggui Yuwentai. When he went to Shanggui from Tongwan, He Bagong had already died at the hands of Hou Mo and Chen Yue. Yuwentai did not enter Shanggui City, and there was no news from Shanggui that Yuwentai and Hou Mo Chen Yue had a fight. It can be seen that Yuwentai has already made a decision in his heart when he arrived in Chang'an from Shanggui, and it must be inevitable. In the past few days, people have been sent to Chang'an City to inquire about the news, and the funeral of Daxingtai He Bayue is quite grand, and the main mourning is Yuwentai. ”

Gao Cheng frowned even more when he heard Chen Yuankang say this, turned around and paced a few steps unconsciously, and subconsciously stroked the pain in his abdomen.

Chen Yuankang actually has some words that have not yet been said. Today's Yuwentai is no longer yesterday's Yuwentai. He was not in a hurry to win the position of He Batyue, but the places where he had won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong for a long time are evident today. Yuwentai held a funeral, the status of the funeral was clear, and Yuwentai had established its own status by taking the opportunity of the funeral. Although he has no name now, it is a fact that he sits in Guanzhong and becomes the new master. It's only a matter of time before the name is corrected.

Gao Cheng knew that Chen Yuankang was careful and thorough, and he was convinced of his words.

"The generals in Guanzhong have always been difficult to control, is there really no one who disagrees with Yuwentai?" Cui Jishu asked.

"Not really." Chen Yuankang said carefully, "Li Hu, the governor of the left wing, was trusted by He Bayue Jianba, and he had already spoken out against each other, and he refused to agree with the governor Zhao Gui and others to welcome Yuwentai back to Chang'an. But the other generals did not follow Li Hu's words. Moreover, now that Yuwentai has become a player, Hou Mo Chen Chong, the brother of Hou Mo Chen Yue, and his subordinate Li Bi have also defected. Li Hu can't shake the overall situation. ”

"And who does he want to erect?" Gao Cheng asked.

"He ......," Chen Yuankang groaned, "Li Hu has defected to He Batsheng." ”

Gao Cheng didn't speak, his expression was very disappointed.

Cui Jishu understands Gao Cheng's mind best. originally wanted to take advantage of the gap, but who knew that Li Hu meant this.

"Shizi." Hou Jing's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Cui Jishu shuddered and looked at Gao Cheng. Chen Yuankang looked at the door and also looked at Gao Cheng.

"Puyang Gong ......" Gao Cheng laughed loudly, "Please come in, please come in." As he spoke, he walked slowly to the door. Cui Jishu followed behind him. Chen Yuankang suddenly strode in front of Gao Cheng and walked to the door, he protected Gao Cheng behind him, and then opened the door.

Hou Jing didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, Chen Yuankang blocked the door like a wall, and the smile on his face froze.

Chen Yuankang saw that there was nothing wrong before letting the door open, Gao Cheng stood behind Chen Yuankang with a smile and said with a smile, "Puyang Gong, please come in, I'm fine, it's really a mistake." I was about to ask the Duke of Puyang to come and discuss. ”

Hou Jing also smiled when he came in, "Yes, I'm also anxious." Why was he so anxious, but he refused to say a word.

"Oh, Duke Puyang is in a hurry in Chang'an City? What did you hear? Gao Cheng asked deliberately.

When asked such a question, Hou Jing was not easy to refute. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, so he worried, "Exactly, I heard that the captain of the horse is in position, and Yuwentai is already the actual master of Guanzhong." I really ...... in my heart," he said, worried, but said no more.

"So far, what is Puyang Gong's idea?" Gao Cheng asked again.

"Shizi, the best idea is the most direct way. Question Yuwentai in person. Hou Jing looked at Gao Chengdao quietly.

"In this case, please ask Puyang Gong to work hard first." Gao Cheng went down without hesitation.

Gao Cheng laughed and didn't speak again.

In fact, the words are good, according to the current situation, the most direct way is the most effective way. But questioning, questioning what? Isn't that nonsense. Yuwentai is already in power, will he be afraid of irrelevant people to ask lightly? Moreover, on what basis should the questioner question?

Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Ju and Wuwei General Yuanbi were both in Chang'an for the first time. Prosperous dreams are guests. The magnanimity of Chang'an made Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi feel that they had more capital spirit than Luoyang. I believe that the entire Chang'an City has long known the news of the murder of Daxing Taihe Bayue. Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi always felt that there was a sense of slaughter in the prosperity. Thinking that he was the title of Tianxian, he went directly to Daxingtai Xingyuan, and as an envoy of the Son of Heaven, he ordered the Xingyuan guards to go in to report, and ordered the generals to come out to meet the new Guanzhong Daxingtai ordered by the Son of Heaven.

I thought that the generals of Guanzhong and the old department of He Bayue would immediately come out to greet him. Who knew that the guards who went in to report did not come out for a long time, and the gate was closed, and they did not know what was going on inside. If you listen carefully, you can't hear any sound, quietly, it seems that no one knows that the new Daxingtai is standing at the door. Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi were both worried in their hearts, and they couldn't do anything else, so they could only wait patiently.

It was a long time before I heard the door open slowly. I saw a general in armor leading people out. Yuan Bao Ju saw that this person was full of joy and anger, and felt that the city government was very deep. was guessing, the person who came saluted respectfully, "General Wei is waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Nanyang and General Wu Wei." General Yuwentai, the commander of the horses, is waiting with the generals. As he spoke, he invited Yuan Bao Ju and Yuan Bi to go in.

Yuan Bi glared angrily and said, "Won't Yuwentai come out to greet Daxingtai?" ”

Yu Jin stopped when he heard this, looked at the Yuan Bao Torch, and stared at Yuan Bidao with an expressionless face, "Daxingtai has just passed away, where did Daxingtai come from?" His voice was deep and cold, and after speaking, he seemed to inadvertently glance at the ingot torch.

Yuan Bao Ju had already seen that the soldiers behind him were all wearing swords, and they seemed to have made an appointment and generally held the handle of the sword tightly, so he looked back at Yuan Bidao behind him, "Let's go in first." He also didn't believe that Yuwentai would dare to openly resist the decree when the time came.

As the group marched, the ingot torch clearly heard the sound of the gate closing heavily behind them. When I looked up, I saw a little farther away from the eaves of the hall. From a distance, I saw Yuwentai standing in the center as if the moon was being praised by the stars, looking at them. And between this piece of plain white and the ingots torch and Yuan Bi is the bright armor soldier. Although the soldiers are hidden in both sides, what does Chen Bing Yaowu want?

Yuan Bi looked at the ingot torch. The ingot torch stopped and did not move, frowning slightly and facing Yuwentai. And Yuan Bi clearly felt the coldness of the Sen Sen from General Yu Jin behind them. He turned around slowly, and sure enough, he saw Yu Jinzheng staring at him coldly. When he looked back again, the ingot torch had already walked towards the Yuwentai people under the hall. Yuan Bi hesitated for a moment, but still quickly followed.

The ingot torch looked at Yuwentai without fear, and the two of them were only a few feet apart.

Yuwentai and Yuan Bao Torch have known each other for a long time. The relationship between the two people is not very familiar, but they have been together and secret, how strange it is. At this time, the Yuan Bao Torch was really standing in front of him, seeing that he was so fearless and awe-inspiring, Yuwentai actually had a bit of appreciation in his heart.

"King Nanyang, don't come unharmed?" Yu Wentai asked with a faint smile.

"Very good, thank you Captain Tun for your concern. I came to Chang'an to take over at the behest of the Lord, and I will need the assistance of the Captain of the Horse in the future, and I am only willing to work with the general to serve the Lord as much as possible. The ingot torch looked directly at Yuwentai and got straight to the point. The words are polite, but the tone is neither humble nor arrogant, and it shows his identity.

As soon as the words "take over by the order of the lord" were spoken, although Yu Wentai's face was silent, the generals of Guanzhong behind him were excited. There was a lot of tension in the air.
