The sky was dark, and the candlelight in the emperor's tent was warm.

His Majesty specially ordered that this spring hunt should not be extravagant, and the emperor's big tent was only slightly more spacious than the camp tents of other courtiers.

The forbidden army surrounded the dragon tent like an iron bucket, and as soon as Gao Yanzong stepped into the big tent, hundreds of scrutinizing eyes were immediately projected on him.

In order to meet His Majesty, Gao Yanzong deliberately changed into a black embroidered silver royal robe, and the emperor's summoning was a major event, and it should not be neglected.

He stepped over the steps with a solemn expression, Liu Taozhi pulled out the knife in the sheath, and shouted coldly: "Someone is coming, stop and report the name!" ”

It's not that Liu Taozhi doesn't recognize Gao Yanzong, but this is the rule, no matter who is in front of the emperor, he must report it.

Gao Yanzong raised his head, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he didn't have a good impression of this executioner who had killed many uncles and brothers, so he just made a symbolic salute, his tone was cold and hard, and said: "Your ......, Gao Yanzong, summoned by Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Taozhi also felt the murderous aura rising invisibly from Gao Yanzong's body, frowned slightly, turned around and entered the big tent to make a noise, and said when he came back:

"Your Majesty summons His Royal Highness King Ande to meet ......"

This time, Liu Taozhi's tone was much more polite, but that's all.

Gao Yanzong looked at him deeply, then opened the curtain and entered the big tent.

The interior of the tent was simple, with a bear skin hanging on the wall, and the emperor was dressed casually with a disheveled head, talking to a young official.

Although Gao Yanzong had little contact with Gao Wei, he also knew that this emperor's cousin was the same as the first emperor, he liked luxury and enjoyment, he originally thought that he would see some obscene scenes, but no, it was so simple that he felt a little too much.

He paused for a moment, and when he saw the emperor and the young official looking over, he bowed down and bowed: "Minister, Gao Yanzong knocks to see Your Majesty......"

Gao Wei wore a wide white robe, and his thick black hair was like ink, slanting down.

If it weren't for that natural momentum, Gao Yanzong would almost have thought that those famous people of Wei and Jin had appeared in front of him again.

Gao Wei raised his arm and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, please get up ......"

Gao Yanzong respectfully arched his hand, got up, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor is polite to him, but he can't take this politeness for granted, this is courtesy, and it is also a gentleman's grace.

Since ancient times, it has been the most difficult for Jun En to suffer.

Gao Wei looked at him with deep eyes, suddenly smiled, pointed to the young official standing on the side and smiled:

"Brother Wang rarely goes to court, do you recognize this person?"

Gao Yanzong glanced at the young official, and saw that he had a good face, although he was young, he had a calm bearing.

Gao Yanzong looked at it for a while, and said with a slight smile: "This minister knows it, this must be the chamberlain who foiled the Turkic envoy, right?" Lucky to ......"

Gao Yanzong was indeed not interested in the political situation, and after the elimination of King Langya, he submitted his resignation and asked to resign from the post of Taiwei.

Although His Majesty did not agree, he also sent someone to take over Gao Yanzong's authority, acquiescing in Gao Yanzong's "dereliction of duty".

But this does not mean that Gao Yanzong is really ignorant of the recent changes in the court. For some cadres who have only been promoted recently, Gao Yanzong is still familiar with them. Especially Pei Shiju, Fang Gongyi, Han Li, Wang Jun and others, who have been in the limelight recently.

Although Fang Yanqian has always been low-key, Gao Yanzong has also heard of his name, and his evaluation is not under Pei Shiju at all, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Therefore, Gao Yanzong was rarely more polite to Fang Yanqian.

However, it is just a nodding acquaintance, and it is a taboo for the clan to make friends with the cadres of the country, not to mention that the emperor is still watching from the side.

"Your Highness is polite...... The lower officials greeted His Royal Highness King Ande...... "Fang Yanqian returned the courtesy, with a gentleman's spirit."

Gao Yanzong nodded, which was regarded as an expression of goodwill, and did not continue to be polite to him.

Gao Wei smiled slightly and looked at Gao Yanzong: "It seems that Brother Wang really hunted all ten foxes?" ”

Gao Yanzong also smiled: "It's a fluke......

Gao Wei waved his hand to stop the next bunch of modest words, "I have never believed in any fluke, strength is strength, Brother Wang should not be too modest, hehe......, since Brother Wang has done it, then I should also be true to my word." ”

He got up and took out the long black sheath knife on the shelf behind him, and pulled out a section, and the smooth mirror-like blade reflected a pair of clear phoenix eyes.

Gao Yang has been dead for more than ten years, but his saber is still extremely sharp, with a murderous aura.

"Speaking of which, this is the saber that Emperor Wenxuan used on the battlefield at the beginning, and it was stained with a lot of blood, but now, even if it is wiped day and night, it still has such a smell of blood......"

Gao Yanzong's eyes also showed a trace of warmth, with a look of remembrance on his face, Gao Yang was a brutal monarch in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, Gao Yang was a kind and loving uncle:

"Yes, Emperor Wenxuan, he collected all kinds of weapons at the beginning, and the minister remembers...... Among them is this ......"

"Indeed, the first emperor also liked this knife very much, and kept it hidden from me, saying that it was ...... The anger is too heavy. In fact, he was just afraid that I would be injured, how could Emperor Wenxuan's blade be comparable to ordinary soldiers? ”

Gao Wei was not afraid of the sharp appearance of the sword, and the tip of his index finger grazed the blade, and immediately scratched a shallow blood mark.

"Your Majesty......!" Fang Yanqian and Gao Yanzong were shocked and wanted to step forward to dissuade them.

"Well...... it's okay......" Gao Wei raised his hand to stop them from coming, "It's really sharp and scary, it's really a good knife......"

With just a slight touch, the blade cuts through the skin, and you can imagine how sharp it is.

He looked at Gao Yanzong and said with a smile: "I will do what I say, I will give this knife to Brother Wang." ”

Gao Yanzong hesitated, and Gao Wei handed the long knife forward again.

Gao Yanzong hesitated again and again, but finally took the knife with both hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

Gao Wei said: "It's okay, the treasure knife is given to the hero, I can't go to the front line to kill the enemy in this Yecheng, if this knife is here, it can't be used, it will inevitably be dusty, it's a pity......"

Gao Yanzong's brain was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted, with a little irrepressible ecstasy, and said, "Minister! I must do my best, be loyal to Your Majesty, and be loyal to Daqi! ”

If the emperor still doesn't understand Gao Yanzong when it comes to this, then Gao Yanzong doesn't have to be confused.

The meaning of His Majesty's words is clearly to reuse him, and it is likely to go to the front line and become the commander of one side! It's something he's always dreamed of!

Gao Yanzong has been martial since he was a child, but since Wenxuan, the emperors of all dynasties have been very strict against the clan, and suppression is a common thing.

Moreover, Gao Yanzong's elder brother Lanling King has been reused, and he became Shang Shuling and a general at a young age, which is equivalent to blocking Gao Yanzong's road.

Gao Yanzong and King Lanling are also descendants of Gao Cheng's lineage, how could those uncles not guard against them?

Therefore, it is already the biggest limit for King Lanling to make contributions, and if Gao Yanzong wants to take the lead, he will not wait for the death of King Lanling, I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible in this life!

It's frustrating, but that's the reality.

This is also because King Lanling's mother and his mother are from humble backgrounds, if they are Gao Cheng's sons-in-law, whether they can still live now is a matter of two words.

Gao Yanzong originally planned to live in Yecheng honestly in this life and be his idle king, but he didn't expect that such a big good thing would actually fall on his head! Gao Yanzong was naturally overjoyed.

Gao Wei looked at him and smiled: "What job does Aiqing want?" ”

Gao Yanzong subconsciously blurted out, it can't be much worse than his fourth brother's treatment, right? It's just that when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it immediately, suppressed the uneasiness and apprehension in his heart, and said respectfully: "Let Your Majesty call the shots!" ”

Gao Wei nodded and said, "In this way, I will appoint you as the general of the second-rank chariot cavalry, and receive the power of deputy governor, how about transferring you to Duan Dazai's side for training first?" ”

This pie was smashed down one after another, directly smashing Gao Yanzong into a daze.

At the same time, he was a little worried about whether such a big pie would directly support him to death, and hesitated: "This ......, but the minister has not made an inch, and he has such a great power all of a sudden, I am afraid that it will attract everyone's objections...... Why don't Your Majesty transfer your ministers to Fenbei......? ”

This is the deputy governor of Jinyang! Except for Dazai Duan Shao and Zuo Xianghu Yuguang, this position is simply the first position in the army! Even the authority of his fourth brother, the king of Lanling, is not as big as him! So it's understandable that he's apprehensive right now.

Gao Wei glanced at him appreciatively, but did not agree with Gao Yanzong's suggestion, and said:

"I don't have to ......say much, besides, I just asked you to follow Dazai for the time being, but I didn't say that I would give you real power......"

He paused and said, "You have to train for three years and five years, so I can use you with confidence." Come to think of it, Duan Dazai won't hide his secrets and refuse to teach you......"

Gao Wei smiled, but his eyes were a little gloomy, he knew that Duan Shao might not have three or five years......

Once this old man who supported the gateway of Northern Qi fell, the situation in Northern Qi would be even more difficult......

But now that the battle ahead is tight, Duan Shao has the role of Dinghai Shen Needle, as long as he is there, no matter whether Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong win or lose in this battle, Jinyang will be as stable as Mount Tai! Therefore, he could not recall Duan Shao back to Anyang now.

For this old man who has dedicated his life to Daqi, he has high respect in his heart.

"Brother Wang is here, I have to bear some more military affairs for Dazai, Dazai is old after all, I can't summon him back to recuperate, I can't live with him......"

Gao Yanzong is handsome and loyal, he shouldn't be buried like this, let Duan Shao take a belt, and he will be a good candidate to succeed him in the future.

Gao Yanzong's face became serious, and he said, "Since Your Majesty trusts the minister, the minister should do his part!" ”

Fang Yanqian's eyes showed a trace of envy, King Gao Yanzong of Ande is running at this time, and he will ascend to the sky in one step......

"When should the minister go to work?"

Gao Wei thought for a while and said, "It's better to do things sooner rather than later, if it's convenient for you, it's best to leave tomorrow......"

You guys? ……

A trace of doubt flashed in Gao Yanzong's eyes.

Gao Wei pointed to Fang Yanqian and said:

"Fang Qing will go with you, he is responsible for arranging mutual markets in Jinyang and Bingzhou, you can take care of each other on the road......"
