Chapter 19: The Sacred Heart is Unfathomable
At the same time, in the Shendu Gao Mansion, Gao Xianzhi, who had just returned from the school, changed into a regular uniform, sat in the study with a military book in his hand, and didn't turn a page for half a day.
It is when a young man grows up that his appearance changes almost every day. Now he is much taller than in the spring, his posture is more upright and handsome, and his facial features have gradually faded from childishness, showing a tough silhouette little by little. If it is said that Gao Xianzhi was handsome and dusty in the past, like a glorious jade, indistinguishable between male and female, exquisite and exquisite, then now he is a sword hidden in a box, quiet and elegant when he receives, and sharp when he comes out. Although it is also a rare treasure, it already has its own aura, no matter how attractive it is, it is not something that can be approached casually.
Such a little boy is really heartbreaking to look at, and I don't know what kind of woman I will have to find in the future to match him.
When the executive stepped into the study, he had such a thought when his eyes touched the person by the window, but he only smiled and shook his head, and immediately left it behind. The father and son of the Gao family were born to belong to the battlefield, and all their light was destined to bloom in that heaven and earth. As for the partner, it's just the icing on the cake, and it's too early for the current little boy.
"Uncle An, is there something wrong?" His eyes did not take half a minute off the page, but he was as keen as Gao Xianzhi, and he knew that there was already one more person in the room. He didn't like it to be disturbed by anyone in his study, even if it was his father's trusted old butler. What's more, at the moment he was still thinking about things, thinking about something that was extremely important to him.
"Childe, it's a letter from Chang'an." He has always known the habits of the little master, so even if the face was expressionless as always, the senior executive also felt his displeasure, and immediately stepped forward quickly and handed over the stack of letters in his hand: "Yongwangfu." ”
Stretching out his hand to take it, Gao Xianzhi nodded slightly, revealing a faint smile: "I know, there is Uncle Lao An." ”
"Childe is polite, it's a matter of slavery." Bent down humbly, seeing that the young man in front of him didn't mean to speak again, the executive slowly retreated, closed the study door lightly, and then let out a long sigh of relief. I don't know why, Ming Gongzi is much gentler than the old man who fights all the year round, but every time he faces him, he can feel a strong oppressive force following him, which makes him difficult to breathe, and he can't wait to pull out his feet and run away.
"I really don't know what Childe has experienced at a young age." Muttering softly, the executive's family left quickly, and no longer lingered near the study. The letter of Yongwangfu is always the most important, as for the inside story, the less you know, the better, he is not tired of life, of course he understands what kind of method and attitude to deal with it is most beneficial to himself.
But this time, the executives are clearly overthinking.
Gao Xianzhi opened it and read the two letters, then he looked helpless, and subconsciously reached out and rubbed his temples. Li Chenghuan is still as verbose as before, and he can't grasp the point. In this stack of letters, half of them are from his handwriting, which is nothing more than chatting about some Chang'an scenery, four seasons of human affection, plus caring about his little sister and now in the palace. It's a very simple thing, I have to write it upside down and over again, I really don't see that he has any temper at all.
"After so many years, I still haven't made any progress." After quickly flipping through all the letters and making sure that there was nothing important in them, Gao Xianzhi chuckled: "Sure enough, it's not a reading material, no wonder Xiao'er refused to follow him at that time." "I've picked up a ready-made bargain.
"Well, for the sake of this matter, I'll send you a reply." Muttering, Gao Xianzhi stood up, packed up the letter and planned to go out.
After all, in fact, he just found a high-sounding excuse for himself to enter the palace. Thinking of the girl who hadn't been able to see her for a while, the boy could no longer sit in his study with peace of mind. Guessing the look of joy she might have when she received the letter from home, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but move faster, but he didn't want him to put on a cloak before stepping out of the study and bumping into his father head-on.
Today is the Great Dynasty, Gao Sheji will not go to the barracks, he should have come back early, Gao Xianzhi was waiting for him before. However, General Gao was temporarily delayed for a while because of something in the military department, and when he was about to leave the palace, he received a holy decree from Wu Cao. Even if he galloped all the way back, he was also full of frost and snow at this moment, which was awe-inspiring.
"Father, what are you ......" Hurried a few steps, Gao Xianzhi reached out and took the snow-covered big chicken of Gaoshe chicken and hung it up, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, and then continued to ask: "But what happened to Chaozhong?" ”
Gao Sheji has been the commander of the first army for a long time, and he has always had the most important demeanor, unless he is on the battlefield, he rarely has such an embarrassed description today. Such an abnormality, in Gao Xianzhi's eyes, must mean that something big has happened.
"Everything is normal in the court, but the emperor's mind is too deep and unpredictable." Sitting on the edge of the brazier and taking a sip of tea, Gao Sheji looked at the melting firelight, and then felt that his body warmed up: "When I was about to leave the palace, I received a holy decree, saying that I should return to Chang'an immediately after the beginning of the New Year. ”
"Return to Chang'an? Didn't you say what you were doing back to Chang'an? Gao Xianzhi's breath suffocated. If they returned to Chang'an, wouldn't they be left alone in the Shendu?
"That's what worries me the most." With a long sigh, Gao Sheji's thick eyebrows tightened: "The holy decree only said that he understood my hard work in the front-end training time, so he specially rewarded me and ordered me to go back to Chang'an to rest for a while." For the rest, there's nothing. ”
It's been almost half a year since his last military training, how could he ask for a commendation at this time? Moreover, this reward is really strange, if you really want him to rest, can't you be in God, why do you have to let him go to Chang'an? Every detail cannot resist scrutiny, and according to the emperor's ordinary style of acting, he will never make such a will. Therefore, when he received the order, he was extremely confused, and after several thoughts, he could only return home first. If there are other details in it that cannot be said, then even if he runs to ask, the emperor will definitely not give him an answer.
"Could it be that His Majesty wants to take back the military power? She was jealous of the Gao family? This was the first thing that came to Gao Xianzhi's mind. Such a holy decree that is not concealed everywhere is just a reason to drive them to Chang'an. In addition to the military power in his father's hands, he couldn't see that there was anything else in Gaofu that was worth Wu Cao's trouble.
"Probably not." Shaking his head, Gao Sheji's hand gently rubbed the wall of the cup, and his tone was low and solemn: "Now that the four seas are peaceful and the world is peaceful, it is natural for her to take back the military power, just find a henchman to take over, why bother to play dumb riddles with me so much?" Moreover," he stopped his movements and looked up at his son, who had been calm and wise since childhood, "There is no mention of military power in the holy decree, which means that even if I am in Chang'an, I can still command this team." ”
"Hiss-" Almost couldn't hold back a cold breath, the shocked look on Gao Xianzhi's face couldn't be concealed at all: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Test?! ”
King Yong of Chang'an is the bloodline of Gaozong, and he is the only descendant of Prince Zhang Huai, who is known as a virtuous name and is very popular. Not to mention back then, even now, there are many people who want to restore Li Tang who intend to push him to that position. Wu Cao has not given up his surveillance of Chang'an for so many years, why not for this reason? The Gao family and King Yong have always been good friends, and at this time, the military power was in hand, and they deliberately turned back to Chang'an...... Is this to incite them to test whether they are truly disobedient?
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Gao Sheji pressed the corner of his forehead, and rarely had a headache: "I thought that the little county lord came to the Shendu, and Your Majesty should rest assured no matter what happens." And His Royal Highness King Yong has always been respectful, and there has never been any incident, His Majesty has refused to let them go, is he really not afraid of forcing people to be anxious? ”
"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, His Majesty the Emperor has always acted differently from ordinary people, I'm afraid that no matter how much we think about it now, it will be in vain." Such an inexplicable holy decree can be buried in countless tricks, and they rack their brains, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the truth. Gao Xianzhi is a person who can accept reality very much, and he will never be constrained because of the unknown future: "For the sake of today's plan, I have to follow the will, and then take one step at a time." ”
