Gao Yuan picked up Gao Ling and hugged the second brother into his arms, "We are brothers, we are all the blood of the Gao royal family, and we are shouldering the mission of Shang'an Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Xia'an, second brother, our brothers' previous grievances have been written off since then, and our brothers will protect the country." ”

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, Gao Ling was also excited, hugging this big brother, "Big brother, big brother ......"

A few big brothers shouted high, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, since his father left, he had not experienced this kind of pure family affection for a long time.

"Second brother, the land west of the river is far more desolate than the north, it is the real desolate place, the desert is full of sky, few people in the past dynasties are willing to go there, not to mention that if you are the king, you will also take the queen mother.

The queen mother has been living in the palace, and she suddenly went to the desert Gobi, and she will definitely be uncomfortable, and the queen mother is also old, so don't toss anymore, or go back to Suzhou, just think of me as a junior to do a little filial piety. ”

"Big Brother ......"

When Gao Ling heard this, he knelt down excitedly again, Gao Yuan helped Gao Ling up, and patted the younger brother's shoulder heavily, "Good brother, being a big brother will never treat you badly, as long as you return to Suzhou to be loyal to Dafeng and benefit the people, I will be content." ”

"The younger brother will never live up to the teachings of the eldest brother, and he must change his mind and be a good prince." Gao Ling knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a serious expression, this serious and serious look really made people unable to find anything suspicious.

At this moment, the bell of the early morning dynasty rang, Gao Yuan straightened his clothes and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Okay, second brother, I should go to the early court, you should go back early, about you and the third brother's canonization, I will announce it to the court in the near future, you don't have to worry." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my brother sends your Majesty." The second prince, Gao Ling, stood aside respectfully and watched Gao Yuan leave.

However, just after Gao Yuan left, the eyes of the second prince, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly became cold, and his originally excited expression turned into gritted teeth.

Listening to Gao Yuan's mouthful, it was really out of the limelight, but he was envious of this younger brother, Gao Ling looked up at Gao Yuan's back, his fists clenched, as if to say, it should be me who stands on the Taihe Hall and is in the limelight.

Soon after Gao Ling left, Han Zhongxuan, who was the head of the Internal Affairs Office, came to the palace, and he wanted to take advantage of Gao Yuan's early dynasty to deal with the internal affairs of the palace, and all the eunuchs began to be busy for a while, and Han Zhongxuan was the chief manager when Gao Zhen was there, and it was also handy to deal with these, under his arrangement, all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, the little eunuch who should have gloomy eyes walked to Han Zhongxuan's side, arched his hand at Han Zhongxuan, and then whispered a few words in Han Zhongxuan's ear, Han Zhongxuan's face turned blue after hearing these things, and he put one hand on the pillar next to him. ”

"Yes." The little eunuch who was busy working below didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran out to find someone to change the pillar.

Han Zhongxuan looked at the subordinates next to him and muttered, "Arrest the little eunuch who sent a message to Your Majesty, interrogate it carefully, and strictly investigate the attendants around Your Majesty. ”

"Yes."

The little eunuch was ordered to retreat.

Looking at the busy eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard, Han Zhongxuan frowned, it seems that what the first emperor said is right, His Majesty is still too soft-hearted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since you want to be a sage king, then let the old slave do some dirty and ugly things......"

……

After getting off the early court, Gao Yuan returned to the Holy Peace Temple, and the strange thing was that the one who served him on weekdays was the little eunuch who told him that the second prince was coming in the morning, how could this change people in the early dynasty, Gao Yuan, who was strange, immediately asked, "What about this little dezi?" ”

The little eunuch below knelt on the ground with his head down and said, "Xiao Dezi was just taken away by the Internal Affairs Office, and if he said that there was something, let the servants come and serve you." ”

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and said why didn't he see Han Zhongxuan early in the morning, but Gao Yuan didn't think much about it, after all, there were many miscellaneous matters in the Internal Affairs Office, and he would never ask them one by one.

This early dynasty is tired and tired, this thing is one after another, since the king of the Northern Barbarian Hun Tu was killed, the Northern Barbarian can no longer set off any big waves, three days ago Qin Feng and even the army rushed to the vicinity of the White Wolf River, and held a sacrificial ceremony in the White Wolf River to comfort Yan Ziyue's spirit in the sky.

There is also the issue of the state pastor of the three northern states, not long after the accident of King Jingbei, Han Li took people to Jingzhou and took over the government affairs of Jingzhou as the Son of Heaven.

However, with this identity, Jingzhou quickly calmed down, and there was no major political turmoil caused by the death of King Jingbei, but the issue of the state pastor was still very thorny, and the court and China quarreled for a long time without a result.

……

Twilight is coming.

Gao Yuan walked alone in the palace, as if he had something on his mind, when he walked to the courtyard of the third prince, he suddenly heard a cry of great grief from inside, and when he listened carefully, he seemed to be still shouting the word father.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel sad, this sad cry reminded him of his newly deceased father, thinking of this, Gao Yuan burst into tears, turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the three princes.

For the identity of a crown prince, Gao Yuan, who is still the crown prince, and the second prince are fighting for blood, while the third prince Gao Chang either sneaks out of the palace to eat, drink and have fun, or walks birds and flowers in the palace alone.

Some powerful ministers don't even regard Gao Chang as a prince, and in the palace, the same is true of some powerful eunuchs and palace maids, and Gao Yuan's impression of this younger brother is also a rich son who picks flowers and feeds fish in the imperial garden.

Once upon a time, Gao Yuan also envied Gao Chang, how good it is to be so carefree every day, there is no need to fight for the position of a son of heaven, and brothers kill each other.

Walking into the Gaochang courtyard, the courtyard that is not luxurious is full of white cloth and yellow paper, it stands to reason that the first seven have passed, and the white banner can be left until after the seventh seven and then withdrawn, but the paper money is not good, this kind of filth must not appear in the palace, this is a big murderous thing.

But at this moment, Gao Yuan did not have the slightest sense of blame, but walked through the paper money all over the ground to the door of Gao Chang's house, only to see Gao Chang kneeling on the futon and crying bitterly, crying heartbreakingly, fainting several times, and on the mahogany sandalwood table, it was the tablet of the first emperor Gao Zhen.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be moved, so long time has passed, I didn't expect Gao Chang to still be so sad, Gao Yuan, who heard his younger brother whining and mourning, quietly walked into Gao Chang's room, knelt on the futon next to him, and kowtowed heavily to the tablet of the first emperor.

At this time, Gao Chang, who was crying, suddenly noticed that there was another person beside him, and after fixing his eyes on Gao Yuan, he immediately got up and saluted, "Brother to see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Gao Yuan got up, helped Gao Chang up, looked at Gao Chang who was crying into a tearful person, and couldn't help but be moved, "Don't be too sad, what should I do if I hurt my body by crying." ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares about ......" Gao Chang said in a choked voice, while brushing his sleeves and wiping his tears, after the brothers took their seats, their eyes were facing the paper money in the courtyard, Gao Chang immediately got up and said, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, the paper money in this courtyard was placed in the courtyard by the younger brother because he missed his father, and there is no disrespect." ”

After that, he hurriedly asked someone to clean up, Gao Yuan bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The third brother doesn't have to blame himself, the eldest brother can understand, my father died of illness, and it is normal for you and my brother to be sad and sad." ”

"Your Majesty, is it about to be the day when the king leaves Beijing, I didn't expect that one day I Gaochang will also leave Yindu and become the prince, I really don't know if I can come back to pay tribute to my father after leaving Yindu......" Before the sentence was finished, the tears of the three princes fell again.

"Yes, the imperial tomb will always be the imperial tomb of our Gao family, as the bloodline of the Gao family, I am always welcome to pay tribute to my father." Gao Yuan said with tears in his eyes, looking at the outside subordinates cleaning the paper money, it was like sweeping the autumn sunset leaves, this sweep heralded the end, Gao Yuan sighed and said, "Third brother, the eldest brother wants to ask you, after leaving Yindu, where do you want to go the most......"

Gao Chang got up, wiped his tears, and arched his hand at Gao Yuan, "Your Majesty, if you can choose, my brother wants to stay in Yindu." ”

Gao Chang's answer surprised Gao Yuan, and said with a wry smile, "You should know that the king of Feng has left Beijing for thousands of years, how can this Yin Du stay." ”

After hearing this, Gao Chang knelt directly on the ground and kept kowtowing to Gao Yuan, "Your Majesty, I haven't asked you for anything in the twenty years since I have been a younger brother, this time I beg you, I have no mother since I was a child, I have lived in the palace since I was a child, I am playful and active, and I always sneak out of the palace to play."

I know that in fact, my father has long known about my slipping out of the palace, but he didn't say it, I couldn't study, I was angry with the three gentlemen, I didn't understand government affairs, I didn't know martial arts, I couldn't practice martial arts, in short, I don't know anything now, and I don't have anything.

I only have such a father, eldest brother, I want to stay in Yindu to accompany my father, but eldest brother, I won't embarrass you, there is not an abandoned mansion next to the imperial mausoleum, just live there, and never stay in the palace for a day. ”

"This ......" Gao Yuan got up and looked at Gao Chang with an embarrassed face, living in the imperial mausoleum, how could any royal child live in the imperial mausoleum when he was alive, and it has been a rule for thousands of years for the king to leave Beijing, and there has never been an exception, do you really want to let yourself set this precedent?

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the king left Beijing? Then the courtier doesn't want the title of prince, okay? You just let your brother be an ordinary person, as long as you can be by your father's side, your brother is willing to be an ordinary person. Gao Chang kowtowed and cried bitterly, trembling all over, and was very distressed to see Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan leaned over to help Gao Chang, looked at this stupid younger brother, held back his tears, knelt on the futon, and whispered to Gao Zhen's tablet, "Father, the third brother is willing to give up the throne to accompany you, this may break the law of Dafeng for thousands of years, but this is also a good start."

In the third brother, I saw the family affection that blood is thicker than water, this is greater than the glory of the throne, I really can't find a reason to refuse as an elder brother, please forgive us for the willfulness of the two brothers. ”

After speaking, Gao Yuan kowtowed heavily to Gao Zhen's tablet.
