Chapter 411: Gao Xi's counterattack
The night in the East Palace was particularly solemn, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry outside the prince's study, full of heavily armed guards, and even people patrolling the roof.
Gao Gong received a message from Tang Lingze, and followed him directly into the East Palace without even changing his clothes, and he was also familiar with this place, especially in the past two years, on the one hand, he was close to Yang Yong, and there was a reason to move around frequently; On the other hand, Yang Yong is in a bad situation and needs to find him for advice from time to time.
Gao Gong walked all the way into the study, and Tang Ling turned on the switch on the wall and led him into the underground secret room, where Yang Yong had already been guarding.
After Tang Lingze left, only Yang Yong and Gao Gong were left in the secret room, Gao Gong had white hair and hair, dressed in purple satin casual clothes, his eyes were as cold and sharp as a goshawk, two hooked whiskers on his mouth, a handful of beautiful hair floating on his chin, and he was holding a cup of tea and pondering.
Yang Yong told the events of the day in detail, and said hatefully: "This must be Yang Su who was instructed by the old man to separate the relationship between our father and son. ”
Gao Gong's brows were furrowed, he put down the teacup, and calmly looked directly into Yang Yong's eyes: "Then what is the prince going to do now?" ”
Yang Yong said hatefully: "Hmph, I've already thought about it, it's not a way to bully people like this, if you don't teach these villains who provoke our father-son relationship a good lesson, they will only instigate my father and the emperor to abolish me more vigorously in the future." ”
"Then how is the prince going to fight back?" Gao Xi said lightly.
Yang Yong said proudly: "Let's just say that Yang Su colluded with Lao - Er in private and joined forces to say bad things about me, a few days ago his son Yang Xuangan didn't pretend to fight with the second child's unsuccessful kid." Did you enter the Jin Palace?
That's when they must have been in cahoots. I heard that Yang Xuangan has been messing with the fat boy of the old and second family for three days recently. These things must have been discussed. You see, this happened in just a few days, how could it be such a coincidence.
And that Yang Xuan felt that he obviously had a black cloud BMW, and he could go back and forth for two hours to get an edict today, and he deliberately drove a broken car and pulled it over with a thin and old horse.
This kid is obviously grinding time, and he has to delay until noon when I have lunch to make a surprise attack, just to provoke me. Arrest me! All of this is good, and my father will not fail to see their sinister intentions. ”
Gao Gong sighed and shook his head: "If the prince goes to appeal to the emperor like this, I am afraid that you will be on the spot." ”
Yang Yong jumped up in shock: "How can this be?" ”
Gao Gong stood up, and his eyes became deeper: "Because the emperor is looking for Yang Su to find your own crime, he has already made up his mind to abolish you as the crown prince, and all he needs is an excuse."
A while ago, the emperor asked me in person about the abolition of the establishment, which was to test my attitude, and you also know about this matter. Today's incident is clearly that he has decided to no longer care about us, the old ministers who support you in the court. It's time to get started. ”
Yang Yong sat back in his chair suddenly: "Then what should I do?" Today, Tang Zuoshu first fell into the mouth of a personal minister, and then Lone was the reaction to Yang Su directly. Now there is an excuse for the father and the emperor to abolish the orphan. Speaking of this, Yang Yong suddenly lost his six gods, and his tears were about to fall.
Gao Gong had been squinting slightly, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were full of light, and his tone was sonorous and powerful, but there was a fierceness: "Hmph, now, we can't sit still, I have already thought of a wonderful way to fight back, it depends on whether the prince is willing to make this decision." ”
Yang Yong's eyes widened and his mouth widened, he had never seen Gao Gong look like this, it was completely different from the usual calm and humble Imperial Chief.
Yang Yong suddenly realized that Gao Gong was now his only life-saving straw, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he took two steps forward, grabbed Gao Gong's hand tightly, and his voice was trembling: "Gao Gong, I will do whatever you say, and my life as the whole family will be handed over to you!" ”
The lights and candles in the secret room were flickering, and the dim light shadow made the atmosphere here reveal a trace of indescribable weirdness, combined with Gao Gong's sneering from time to time and Yang Yong's complicated expression, a shocking conspiracy began.
And at this moment, Wang Shichong is still standing on the railing of the third floor of Xiaoyao Building, it has entered October, the night is as cold as water, the cold night wind blows on his face, blowing his beautiful goatee a little messy, but Wang Shichong is unconscious, this calm environment can make him make the most rational judgment, has been the case for many years, and everything that happened today makes him think about the future all day.
Yang Su's last cold words were a naked threat to himself and Gao Ying behind him, today Yang Yong once again paid the price for his impulsiveness, Yang Jian was bound to strengthen Yi Chu's determination after learning Yang Yong's reaction today, Gao Ying's attitude was unwilling to back down, unwilling to give up supporting Yang Yong's position, and the result was likely to be finished with Yang Yong.
In order to prove the value of his existence, he even did not hesitate to instruct Changsun Sheng to secretly promote the union of the two Turks, but now the dye is finished too quickly, so that the Great Sui must now face the Turks, no matter whether he wins or loses this decisive battle, it may not be good news for Gao Ying.
If he is defeated again, or fails to defeat the Turks, and only drives the Turks back to the steppe like the war in the third year of the emperor's reign, then Yang Jian is likely to settle accounts with the futility of the last expedition to Liaodong, and directly dismiss Gao Ying's phase.
But even if Gao Ying can take command of the expedition this time and break the Turks, I am afraid that there will not be too good results, as soon as the Turks are finished, the huge threat to the north of the empire will no longer exist, the birds will be hidden, the rabbits will die and the dogs will be cooked, and the high servants will no longer be so indispensable, the biggest possibility is to give an honorary position such as the third duke, hang it high, and be excluded from the center of the empire's decision-making, at least it will not let him make any more noise in the matter of Yi Chu.
Wang Shichong sighed, he thought of the actions of Pei Shiju, who had already left last night, even if the plan to spread rumors and lure the head Khan to return to the Western Regions was successful, then in the next big war against the Turks, the imperial court should be divided into two ways to deal with the two Turks.
If nothing else, Gao Ying and Yang Su will be in command respectively, and in this way, it will also break Gao Ying's idea of mercy and self-respect, because if he doesn't fight well along the way and lets go of the enemy's main force, but Yang Su can break the Turks, then his result will only be worse, and he may not even be able to wait for the pension treatment in his old age.
Wang Shichong leaned on the railing, and in this watery night, he finally made a difficult decision: to completely cut off Gao Ying and find a way to catch Yang Su in order to protect himself.
Just when Wang Shichong was full of thoughts, An Suiyu's sweet voice came from behind him: "Xingman, why don't you sleep now?" I'm going to leave home again tomorrow, so why don't you have a good rest today? ”
Wang Shichong turned his head and saw An Suiyu's beautiful face, a pair of star-like eyes were full of reluctance, he smiled and took An Suiyu into his arms, and gently stroked her cloud-like hair: "There are some things that are on the road, and I don't have time to think about them carefully, so while I am free tonight, I have to think about it carefully." ”
An Suiyu's head was attached to Wang Shichong's chest, and he didn't speak for a long time, before he sighed faintly: "Xingman, is it really impossible to hide from the battle with the Turks?" ”
Wang Shichong's heart moved, he has always hidden military affairs from An Suiyu, especially after she told herself last time that she didn't want her to go to the Turks, the military report at the border pass arrived only the day before yesterday, and the people in Daxing City knew that this matter was limited to the top of a few empires, and even the military department did not start to discuss the matter of dealing with the Turks, but An Suiyu said this, which really surprised him.
But although Wang Shichong's heart moved, his face did not change, he held An Suiyu's fragrant shoulder, held up her head, stared at her eyes, and said calmly: "Ayu, where did you hear the news?" Don't think about it, I'm just going to Liangzhou. (To be continued......)
