In the golden autumn of August, the fragrance of Guizi, the current emperor Gao Zhan Chan is located in the crown prince Gao Wei, Gao Su and other kings stationed abroad have received an edict, ordering them to rush to Yecheng before the Mid-Autumn Festival to participate in the Zen ceremony.

Gao Su immediately took care of official business, arranged the affairs of the house, and set off with Gu Huan on the second day and went straight to the capital.

In fact, Gao Su wanted to go by himself, but Gu Huan had never been to Yecheng, and he was full of yearning for it, and when Gao Su saw her bright eyes, he couldn't refuse.

The two of them traveled lightly, leisurely all the way, and walked slowly.

Gu Huan has never been to Yecheng, and is full of interest in the scenery on the road, often not taking the big road, or riding up the mountain because he wants to watch the sunset, or sitting in front of the wine shop in the small village for half a day because he wants to drink osmanthus wine. Gao Su has never played like this, every time he goes to Yecheng, he is in a hurry to ride a horse and gallop, never pay attention to the scenery and people on both sides, at this time accompany her up the mountain and down the river, and his face has always been a conniving smile.

He was born really beautiful, and he could see amazing eyes everywhere, and even the aunt in the wine shop couldn't help but say, "This son is really handsome." ”

Whenever this happens, Gu Huan will squeeze his eyebrows at him, and the ridicule is overflowing. Gao Su always couldn't help but laugh, but his mood was so good.

Ten days later, the two arrived at Yecheng, the capital of Qi.

This is one of the richest and most prosperous cities in the Central Plains, and only Chang'an and Luoyang can be compared.

The calm waters of Zhangshui run through the entire city, dividing Yedu into two parts, north and south.

Cao Cao built the north city, seven miles long from east to west, five miles long from north to south, seven gates of the outer city, four gates of the inner city, and there are famous three platforms, Jinfeng Terrace, Tongque Terrace, Bingjing Terrace, Cao Cao and his sons feast and drink poems here, created the famous three Cao Seven Sons, Jian'an style bones, become a good story through the ages.

The southern city was built in the early years of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, six miles long from east to west, eight miles and sixty steps from north to south, Gao Huan later added many spectacular and gorgeous buildings, such as the Taiji Palace, the Zhaoyang Palace, the Xiandu Garden, it is said that he also placed the wooden puppet who can play music on his own, and has left a beautiful talk since then.

Gu Huan and Gao Su walked into the city gate side by side, and the huge city was displayed in front of her.

There are all kinds of people gathered here, Hu and Han, monks and laymen are different, and the costumes are different, but they give people a sense of harmony.

The city is full of carved beams and painted buildings, the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, flat and wide, and there are many gorgeous carriages galloping briskly, jingling bells, and the fragrance is permeating, so that people can't help but think about it.

Gu Huan looked around, dizzying, constantly admiring, and amazed.

Gao Su smiled and said to her: "In the future, there will be time to look around, after walking for many days, you are also tired, why don't you go home first to rest." ”

"Do you have a home here?" Gu Huan was taken aback and couldn't help blurting out. "Kanaya Zangjiao? Still is...... Concubine room. ”

Gao Su didn't expect her to say this, and suddenly her face was a little hot, and she hurriedly said: "No, I haven't married a concubine yet, how can I take a concubine first?" I never set foot in the green house. In fact, in the past, I often came to Yecheng because of things, and it was inconvenient to live outside, but after the king, Lanling County's income was quite rich, so I put a small courtyard here. ”

"Oh." Gu Huan nodded and said happily. "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go rest first."

Gao Su's house in Yecheng is near Tongquetai, three before and after, the small garden is winding and quiet, the green lotus pavilion in the small pond, and a few towering trees, the branches are luxuriant, the chirping birds are endless, but they don't feel noisy, but they make people feel more quiet and elegant.

Gao Su took Gu Huan to look around, and asked her softly, "Do you like it?" ”

Gu Huan nodded again and again: "I like it." ”

Gao Su was very happy, and said with a smile: "I live in Baiyun Xuan, and the Green Yi Pavilion here is for you to live in, okay?" ”

"Okay." Gu Huan nodded without thinking about it.

Gao Su was very happy, so he personally took her into the Green Yi Pavilion. He carefully inspected the belongings inside, and when he saw that everything was available, he said softly, "You bathe first, then rest, and go to the front hall to eat at noon." ”

Gu Huan nodded and said with concern, "You can rest for a while." ”

"Well, I will." Gao Su smiled and walked out.

Gu Huan watched his tall figure walk out of the door, gradually fading away in the sun, his heart was suddenly filled with joy, and he couldn't help but throw himself on the bed and roll around.

Qiu Yan and Chun Xi came in with their luggage, and when they saw her like this, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, with helplessness on their faces.

Qiu Yan rushed up and said while dragging her: "Miss, Miss, get up, you haven't changed your clothes yet, it's gray and dirt, can you still sleep on that bed?" ”

Gu Huan then remembered, "Oh", then rolled out of bed and waved to Chunxi: "Go, prepare hot water, I want to bathe." Qiu Yan, you make the bed. ”

When the two of them saw her transform and pretend to be an adult, they both thought it was funny, but they didn't dare to ridicule, they only replied "yes", and then went to work with a smile.

Gu Huan walked out the door and looked up at the sky. It is the season of high autumn and crisp, Yuyu clarifies, cloudless, and makes people feel relaxed and happy. Her gaze gradually moved down, looking at the Tongque Platform in the distance, and suddenly sighed with emotion: "Dongfeng is not with Zhou Lang, Tongque Chun is deeply locked with Erqiao." ”

"Good poetry." Suddenly, a loud voice shouted outside the wall.

Gu Huan was stunned, grabbed the door of the moon cave in a few steps, and went out to see who it was.

Not far away, under the big tree, stood a tall and burly man, who looked about twenty years old. Gu Huan was surprised, and he was even more surprised: "Huh? You are...... Boy? ”

Gu Huan didn't know him, so he asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

The man looked at her left and right, and said with a little playful smile: "I am the fifth brother of the master here, what about you?" Who is it? ”

Gu Huan blinked, gradually remembered, then stood up straight, and saluted him with a fist: "The last general, General Dingyuan, Gu Huan, has seen King Ande." ”

That person was Gao Su's fifth brother, King Gao Yanzong. He was deeply favored by Gao Yang when he was a child, and was taken to live in the palace, but he developed a perverse and violent temperament, and was later beaten with 200 rods by Gao Yan, who ascended the throne, and almost died.

Hearing Gu Huan's official name, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately put away his contempt, and waved his hand at her: "General Gu is exempt." ”

"King Sheander." Gu Huan put down his hands and looked at him seriously. "May I ask King Ander to come here, what do you say?"

Gao Yanzong was speechless for a while, raised his hand and wiped his face, and couldn't find a reasonable reason in his eagerness.

A few months ago, he heard that the fourth brother ransomed a famous musician from the Yecheng Red Sleeve Fang, which caused a lot of discussion among the government and the opposition, so he always wanted to ask the fourth brother in person, and today as soon as he heard that the fourth brother had entered the city, he hurried over.

After entering the gate, before he reached the front hall, he listened to the housekeeper instructing: "Gu Gongzi likes light, not greasy, you use snacks, don't look at the prince's good temperament, you can be perfunctory." If the things are served, Gu Gongzi doesn't like to eat them, you just wait, you have something to see. ”

Then, someone said yes, "Yes, yes." ”

Gao Yanzong suddenly became interested and asked the steward, "Where does Gu Gongzi live?" ”

The steward thought that he knew that Gu Gongzi, so he said: "In the Green Yi Pavilion, the villain brought the fifth prince over. ”

"Oh, I know the way, you're busy." Gao Yanzong waved his hand at him, and then shook it in a dashing manner.

He really suspects that his fourth brother has a habit of breaking his sleeves, the entire Gao family, this most beautiful person is like jade, there is no wife and no concubine in the house, he does not go to the Qinglou, he does not accept Ji people, and anyone who mentions this matter feels strange. Now, I'm afraid it's true.

As soon as he walked outside the wall of the Green Yi Pavilion, he heard someone chanting two lines of poetry meaningfully, and he turned his head to look at the Tongque Terrace, and felt that it was extremely appropriate, so he couldn't help but shout.

After a while, someone probed out of the moon cave door, and his delicate face and smart eyes made him feel good. I wanted to make fun of it, but it turned out that I was wrong, and he was a little embarrassed.

Gu Huan blinked, a little unsure of his reaction, so he stood there waiting for him to speak.

Gao Yanzong coughed lightly, and asked instead of answering: "Whose disciple is General Gu?" ”

Gu Huan said clearly: "My father is the champion general Gu Xian. ”

Gao Yanzong suddenly realized: "You are the little Gu who entered the Turkic siege at the age of fourteen, fought side by side with his father, and turned defeat into victory?" ”

This matter spread so far and wide, it seemed to be known to everyone, which Gu Huan did not expect. She was a little embarrassed and said, "The prince has won the award." Seeing that my father was in danger, I didn't think about anything else, so I took the knife and killed it, and beat the Turks unguarded, and my father and I led the army to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, which forced them to retreat. This is not my work alone, it is all the soldiers who work together and everyone is brave enough to take the lead in order to drive the Turks out of the Great Wall. ”

"Good. That's how you have to fight a war. Gao Yanzong laughed. The fourth brother is not a big husband, he won a big victory at Kim Yong Yong last year, but he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, if this king is in this situation, where will Kansai still belong to the Zhou State? ”

Gu Huan sighed: "The prince's words are wrong, the emperor ordered the troops to be withdrawn, who dares to chase after him?" Besides, there is a cloud in the art of war: the poor do not chase. The Zhou State poured out of the city, and it was not easy to expel them from the border, where could they still capture Guanxi? ”

Gao Yanzong was silent for a moment, and then sighed secretly, then stopped mentioning the matter, and asked him with a smile: "What about my fourth brother?" ”

"It should be in Baiyunxuan." Gu Huan said naturally. "We just arrived, and we were going to rest and have lunch at noon."

"Oh, then I'll go see him." Gao Yanzong smiled at her. "Don't bother, you go and rest."

"Yes, Lord Wang, please." Gu Huan was not familiar with him, so naturally he would not keep him. She stood there politely, watching him go first, before turning back to her room.
