Chapter 281: Reunion after a long absence

Yuwentai and Gao Cheng have never met, but they know each other very well and know their best reputation.

And the exchanges between the two countries, always have to be faced, now Gao Cheng Lion opened his mouth to ask for 10,000 pieces of cloth, Yuwentai gritted his teeth and took it out, and he didn't worry that the other party swallowed the cloth, but he didn't let go.

He had heard that when Gao Cheng attacked Pengcheng in Xuzhou, he would rather go to great lengths than ruin his political credibility.

A Pengcheng is not worthy of Gao Cheng's promise, even if ten thousand silk cloths are valuable, they are not as important as Pengcheng.

In order to show his sincerity, Yuwentai directly sent people to send cloth to Luoyang, instead of trading at the border.

You can not only observe along the way, but also take the opportunity to contact the spies, why not.

However, from the difference in the identity of the envoys sent by Yuwentai to Jinyang and Luoyang, it can be seen that he has different views on the Gao family's father and son.

The person who sent the envoy to Jinyang just looked for a scribe at random, just worried that Gao Huan would take the opportunity to detain people.

If there are still people who believe in He Liuhun's political credibility in these years, Er Zhuzhao and Liu Lisheng will be the end.

And the envoys sent to Luoyang have a great background.

He Lanxiang led the delegation with 10,000 pieces of cloth and silk, and finally came to Luoyang City under the escort of the Eastern Wei soldiers.

sighed in his heart, his uncle was wise, and the other party was not stupid, and he monitored the whole process, and he didn't give him the slightest chance to contact people.

He Lanxiang's deceased mother is Yuwentai's eldest sister.

In the first year of Xiaochang (525), Helanxiang was only 11 years old when his parents died, became orphans, and was raised by his uncles.

At the age of 17, he was taken to Chang'an by Yuwentai with his cousin Yuwenhu, and was invited by the court to add the rank of general.

At that time, Yuwentai also had Erzhu Tianguang and He Bayue above his head, and he was looking for a job for his nephew, which showed that he liked him.

After Yuwentai took power alone, he opened the door for this nephew to thwart Gao Huan's westward expedition, and Helan Xiang only stayed in Chang'an, so he increased the number of households by 800 because of the merit of staying behind.

To this day, it is even more envoy and governor.

When He Lanxiang thought of meeting his three aunts and aunts, his heart was surging.

Although he was raised by his uncles, if he really wants to talk about it, he can only be taken care of by three aunts.

When he heard that Yuwen Shifei, Yuwen Bodhi, Yuwen Yuanbao and other cousins were killed in Jinyang, leaving his aunt and aunt who did not know life and death, the sadness and worry in his heart were no less than that of his cousin Yuwen Hu.

I haven't seen him for eight years, and now that Luoyang is close at hand, Helan Xiang can't wait to rush into the city to meet his relatives.

But the envoys have their own etiquette, Helan Xiang patiently entered the palace to visit the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the palace was full of courtiers, but he did not see Gao Cheng, who was most feared by his uncle.

The person in charge of the palace claimed to be the left servant of Shangshu, and the servant was Gao Longzhi.

He Lanxiang noticed that there was fear in Yuan Shanjian's eyes when he looked at Gao Longzhi.

Gao Cheng did not attend, and He Lanxiang's attention did not fall on Gao Longzhi, but looked at a Shangshu named Cui Jishu.

Some things are taboo in Kansai, such as the two emperors Yuan Xiu and Yuan Bao Ju were beaten by Cui Jishu.

But it's no secret to He Lanxiang.

Cui Jishu's polite appearance in front of him is difficult to associate with the image of beating people.

Of course, the business can't be left behind, after He Lanxiang handed over the credentials, he asked Yuan Shanjian to send someone to check the number of cloths, so that he could meet his relatives earlier.

Yuan Shan glanced at Gao Longzhi and asked for his opinion.

Gao Longzhi bowed slightly, Yuan Shan saw that this was the answer, and sent someone to check the cloth, confirming that it was not shoddy, and after it was a real number, he immediately ordered someone to go to Zhongshu Province to ask Gao Cheng for instructions.

Gao Cheng did not embarrass the envoy, and sent Wei Xingqing into the palace and led He Lanxiang to the other courtyard to meet Yan Ji and others.

As soon as He Lanxiang entered the door, he saw the four faces in his memory, the three aunts were all old, but the aunt still had the beautiful appearance of the nineteen years old, which added to the charm.

"Auntie! Youngest maternal aunt! ”

"Are you...... Xiang'er? You are Helan Shengle! ”

Yan Ji and the others exclaimed.

It's just that this sound fell on He Lanxiang's ears, and he had already cried into tears.

"My nephew is late, so my aunt and aunt will suffer."

Several people hugged their heads and cried, and after a long time, they eased up, and Yan Ji wiped her tears and said:

"I never thought that I would be able to see Xiang'er again in this life, Xiang'er, what happened to the guide and the nurse?"

After the death of the eldest son Yuwen Shifei, the second son Yuwen Dao and the third son Yuwen Hu entrusted all Yan Ji's concerns.

"Auntie rest assured, Bodhisattva (Yuwen Dao) and Sabao (Yuwen Hu) are all very good, and now they are looking forward to their aunt and aunt in Chang'an."

He Lanxiang wiped his tears and laughed while crying.

The other two aunts on the side looked sad, the sister-in-law also has Yuwen Dao and Yuwen Hu brothers in Chang'an, and their only sons Yuwen Yuanbao and Yuwen Bodhi have been killed by Gao Huan.

Helan Xiang felt something in his heart and stopped smiling.

He grew up with Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Bodhi, and Yuwen Yuanbao since he was a child, and the relationship is the most cordial.

The reason why Yuwentai only took away Yuwen Dao, Yuwen Hu and He Lanxiang back then was to leave Yuwen Shifei, Yuwen Yuanbao, and Yuwen Bodhi to take care of their mothers respectively.

Eight years ago, he was only a subordinate of Hebatyue, and it was impossible to predict that the situation in the north would eventually evolve into a confrontation with the Gao clan.

Otherwise, the nephews will be taken away no matter what, and the second brother Yuwenlian and the third brother Yuwenluo will not be killed.

He Lanxiang also noticed that his aunt didn't seem to be in high spirits, thinking that the other party also thought of the death of Yuwen Shifei and others.

didn't know that she was separated from Gao Cheng, so it was difficult to laugh.

He Lanxiang took the three aunts and aunts to the embassy for temporary residence.

I wanted to stay for more time and spy on intelligence, but I was sent a message to ask He Lanxiang to lead his relatives to Zhongshu Province to resign, and then immediately returned to the west, not staying for a long time.

Yan Ji and the three of them were nervous, and they were worried that Gao Cheng would force her sister-in-law to stay.

Seeing this, Helan Xiang asked why, but he refused to reveal the truth, only saying that he was worried that the other party would regret it and was unwilling to let them return.

"Uncle and aunt are relieved, my uncle once said that Gao Cheng is the most trustworthy person, and he will do what he says, and he will not embarrass me."

He Lanxiang was relieved, but Aunt Yuwen recalled Gao Cheng's sweet words.

Whether it was Fengguang marrying her into the door, making their son king, or protecting Yuwen's relatives, these were all promised to her by the lover.

"Then Gao Cheng is really trustworthy?"

Aunt Yuwen asked.

The three sisters-in-law thought that the sister-in-law was just worried that Gao Cheng would break her promise and would not let her leave.

After all, in the eyes of Yan Ji and others, this sister-in-law has suffered from Gao Cheng's bullying, and it is normal to have such worries.

Helan Xiang told all the things about Pengcheng, saying that it was the Pengcheng Hao clan who asked to surrender, but Gao Cheng insisted on dealing with the other party, and some strategists suggested that they should surrender and slaughter again after controlling the city, but Gao Cheng refused, and would rather add to the incident than promise to break the promise again.

After hearing about Pengcheng, Aunt Yuwen no longer had any doubts, she believed that her lover was a big husband who kept his promises, and she would definitely not deceive herself.

Gao Cheng was reluctant to sell his political credibility cheaply, and now, he is finally about to usher in a return.

Thanks to the book friend Light and Shadow Dancer, and the reward of Traceless Travel.
