After coming out of the study, Fan Liye knew that if he hesitated any longer, he was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

He was originally going to the main hall, but suddenly turned around and walked away.

Takamori hadn't been home for days.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, he took a few sips.

It's a pity that this wine is not for fun.

Raise a glass to dispel sorrow and sorrow.

At this moment, he is not in the mood to return home.

I wasn't in the mood to let my new concubine learn how to ride a horse.

I can't keep my position, and I still ride a horse.

On that day, after Ning Kai led a team of men and horses out of the city with His Royal Highness to welcome the new king, Gao Shou couldn't raise any more energy.

He is the commander of the guards of the palace and is responsible for the safety of the palace.

But after the new king succeeded to the throne, he was not summoned to him.

He didn't even have a chance to say something of allegiance to the new king.

He looked for an opportunity and met Wei Shuai, who patted him on the shoulder and told him,

Do you know what it means to be a son of heaven and a courtier?

Then Wei Shuai glanced at him meaningfully.

Gao Shou understood the meaning of this look.

In the past few years, he has also accumulated a lot of family funds.

But compared to those silver taels at home, he prefers others to call him a "general".

Originally, according to his plan, he found an opportunity to talk to Wei Shuai, transfer him, and bring some soldiers who could go to war.

But after this incident, even if it wasn't his fault, he lost the most important capital.

The first king treated him well.

New King ......

There was nothing delicious on the table, just a plate of cooked vegetables, a plate of cold green bamboo shoots, and a plate of salted soybeans with wine.

The bowl of rice was pushed aside by him.

With one leg propped up on the chair, Gao Shou picked up the flask, raised it high, tilted his neck, and poured it directly into his mouth.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

Gao Shou's hand shook, the wine spilled, and Gao Shou, who was choked, slammed the wine jug on the table, stood up and scolded: "Which one doesn't open his eyes, scares Lao Tzu ......"

Fan Liye, who pushed the door in, chuckled: "Commander Gao is so leisurely!"

Gao Shou, who swallowed half of the words in his stomach, turned his face tight, and hurriedly said on his knees: "The last general, Gao Shou, has seen His Royal Highness." ”

Fan Liye took a step forward, stretched out his right hand to support him, and said, "Commander Gao is polite, please get up quickly!"

Gao Shou got up, bowed slightly, half-bowed his head and said: "Second Highness, Fang Caichen is reckless, and I hope that Second Highness will not blame me for the sake of the minister who has not read a few books." ”

Fan Liye smiled and said casually: "Where is Commander Gao, speaking of which, entering without knocking on the door is the first rude of this son, and Commander Gao should scold the last sentence." ”

Gao Shou smiled awkwardly.

He knew that the Second Highness in front of him was not the Second Highness he had been.

He has served as the commander of the palace for many years, and the relationship between the two princes is clear to him.

Gao Shou remembered a poem.

The same is the end of the world.

Fan Liye glanced at the table and said in surprise: "Commander Gao eats this? Who dares to be so lazy? This prince is going to ask you for an explanation, who doesn't know that your Commander Gao is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the safety of the palace?"

Gao Shou stretched out his hand and signaled, "Your Highness, please take a seat!"

Then he sighed, sat down on the chair, shook his head, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that this is a very moment, and the minister has already pleaded guilty to the king, this commander, let that capable person do it! ”

In the words, it is full of sorrow.

Fan Liye looked at Gao Shou and said: "Commander Gao, according to the son of this world, the assassination of my father has nothing to do with you, and you didn't put the person in, as for letting Yuan Xi run away, there are a lot of cats in it, and it is not clear in one sentence or two." Therefore, judging from the incident itself, this prince thinks that the high commander has done his duty. ”

Gao Shou looked at Fan Liye in surprise, with an excited look on his face, and just about to salute, Fan Liye held down his arm.

Fan Liye continued: "It's a pity, right now, the son of this world is light-hearted, but he can't say a few more words for the high commander." ”

Gao Shou said with a grateful look on his face: "I can hear His Highness's words, and the last general has suffered in the palace for so many years. ”

Then he said cautiously: "Your Royal Highness is the younger brother of the king, and he is the dragon among people, and his words are serious......

Fan Liye glanced at Gao Shou, waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's hard for you to say two good words, what is the current situation of this son, I know it in my heart, and you don't need to say anything to comfort me." ”

Takamori grinned slightly, then closed his mouth again.

At this time, it is not appropriate to laugh.

Although he wanted to laugh.

Inexplicably happy.

Some people are always like this, seeing two pieces of meat in other people's bowls, even if they have an identical piece of meat in their own bowl, they will feel that their piece of meat is not so fragrant.

But if the bowls of two people fall to the ground, everyone can't eat the meat, and the one with less meat is happier in his heart.

The suffering of others is often the healing medicine for many people's own wounds.

Gao Shou rubbed his thighs, looked at Fan Liye and asked, "I don't know why His Highness is looking for me?"

Fan Liye glanced at the salted soybeans in the dish, reached out and grabbed one, rubbed it lightly, and flicked his fingers.

If he had the ability of Yuan Xi, he wouldn't have to run here to find Gao Shou.

Seeing Fan Liye bounce the soybeans away, Gao Shou's heart moved slightly, and he sighed secretly, this highness has really never seen human suffering.

Gao Shou likes to eat salted soybeans very much, and he has loved eating them since he was a child.

And this little snack he loves to eat very much, only after the autumn harvest, he squatted in the field, looking for the little beans left in the field after harvesting.

In his eyes, this is happiness.

After picking up in the field for a long time, it was just a small handful.

Other people's babies, these beans go home, nine times out of ten they are confiscated by their own mothers, and few people will use some precious salt to cook the soybeans for their own babies.

The most, in addition to a few words of praise, gave more than a dozen soybeans to their own children and asked them to burn them and eat them.

Roasted soybeans are also fragrant, but not as fragrant as salted soybeans.

Only his mother spoiled him, and made all the soybeans he picked up into brine soybeans, and even his father could only watch with his eyes.

There are beans at home, but his mother is reluctant to give them to his father.

Beans, made into tofu, can be much more than eating salted soybeans, and even the leftover tofu residue can be baked into fragrant cakes.

Even if he made a fortune later, he never changed some things that were deeply rooted in his bones.

For example, he never wastes food.

Even when he saw others wasting food, he also felt an inexplicable feeling of discomfort in his heart.

His subordinates, no one dares to have leftovers.

Reaching out and grabbing a handful of soybeans in the palm of his hand, he ate them one by one, waiting for Fan Liye on the opposite side to speak.

Fan Liye looked at Gao Shou and said, "Commander Gao, you were picked up by Wei Shuai!"

Gao Shouchong arched his hand on one side and said: "Your Highness is right, fortunately, with the support of Wei Shuai, I have the scenery of Gao Shou today, and the grace of Wei Shuai, I will never forget it." ”

Fan Liye said with a smile: "Commander Gao is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. ”

Gao Shou glanced at Fan Liye and did not speak.

Who do you look down upon?

Seeing Gao Shou's displeased expression, Fan Liye chuckled, and then said: "Commander Gao, don't blame, this prince came to you today because he had an important matter to discuss, and it was related to Wei Shuai, so I made a tentative speech, so it seems that Wei Shuai really didn't see the wrong person." ”

"Oh, Your Highness is underestimating me, isn't you, but I don't know if Your Highness needs me to do anything?"

Gao Shou patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, to say something disrespectful, in Gao's heart, you are more like the first king." ”

Fan Liye shook his head and said: "You can't say this kind of thing in the future, so that people who have a heart will listen to it, but I'm afraid that they will wear small shoes for people." ”

Gao Shou laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm not afraid of His Highness's jokes, I'm ready to be swept away by the king." ”

Fan Liye waved his hand and said: "Commander Gao, this son of the world is not laughing at you, it is not suitable for you to sweep the floor and go out." ”

Gao Shou chewed soybeans, grabbed the wine jug and poured it, raised his sleeve and rubbed his mouth and said, "I won't be polite to Your Highness, my wine is not a good wine." I, a man, is like the wine in this pot, when there is no wine, I can drink it, but if I have good wine, I will become a rag, if not my new king will sweep me away?"

Fan Liye saw that Gao Shou ate soybeans deliciously, and couldn't help but pinch a few grains and put them in his mouth.

After chewing a few bites, I only felt that the saltiness was moderate, and the bean flavor was full, so I couldn't help but say: "Commander Gao, this plate of beans has a different flavor." ”

Gao Shou glanced at Fan Liye and chuckled: "Your Highness has eaten a lot of delicacies, and this is not a good thing." ”

Fan Liye shook his head slightly and said: "Commander Gao's words are not good, presumably with Commander Gao's current identity, the dishes on the table are not much different, right?"

Gao Shou said softly: "The last general was born poor, and his taste can't be changed. ”

Fan Liye tapped his fingertips on the edge of the plate and said slowly: "As Commander Gao said, whether this is good or not depends more on whether it is suitable or not, Father and Wei Shuai appreciate you, in their eyes, you Gao Shou is a qualified commander." But right now, the new king succeeds to the throne, even if there is no Ning Ji and Gao Commander, you will still be replaced. ”

Gao Shou poured another sip of wine, sighed and said: "That's right, Your Highness said that my heart is in trouble, but it's a pity that I have failed Wei Shuai's love." ”

Fan Liye sighed and said, "It's not just you, I'm afraid that Wei Shuai will also suffer a catastrophe?"

Hearing Fan Liye say this, Gao Shou showed a solemn expression, glanced at the door, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Wei Shuai, as a soldier and horse master, is an existence under one person and above ten thousand people in Bazhou, who can move him?"

Fan Liye leaned over to Gao Shou and beckoned.

Gao Shou whispered in his ear, only to hear Fan Liye whisper in his ear: "Who else can there be besides our new king?"

Gao Shou stared at Fan Liye.

With a puzzled face, he asked tentatively: "What does His Highness mean is that the king is going to replace Wei Shuai?"

Fan Liye said in a low voice: "It's not just as simple as changing. ”

Gao Shou was stunned.

In his heart, Wei Tiangang is his last retreat, even if this commander can't do it, he will find an opportunity to ask Wei Shuai in the future, maybe there will be a way out, after all, when he came to the palace to be the commander, it was Wei Shuai who recommended him.

But if Wei Shuai also falls, he will really have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

His eyes moved slightly, and he said suspiciously: "Your Highness, isn't it here to be alarmist and scare me into being a tall person!"

Fan Liye snorted lightly and said, "Does this son have this leisure?"

Seeing that Fan Liye was displeased, Gao Shou sneered and said: "Your Highness, it's not that I'm trustworthy but you, this is unfounded, you suddenly said such a thing, how can I believe it?"

Fan Liye took a deep breath and said, "Commander Gao, this son of the world came to you for this matter. ”

Seeing Fan Liye's solemn expression, Gao Shou felt that he didn't feel like he was lying, so he asked: "Your Highness, Gao can't figure it out, you came to me, what can I do?"

Fan Liye said in a low voice: "Commander Gao, I won't hide it from you, as far as this son knows, it was Mr. Jia who shot my father with his own hands. ”

"What?"

Takamori was taken aback, stood up, walked to the door, opened the door and looked out a few times, coughed a few times, spat a mouthful of phlegm under the tree, and then turned to close the door.

Returning to his seat, he whispered, "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, the king asked you to come to me?"

Then he thought, no.

Looking at Fan Liye again, he twisted his eyebrows and said: "Your Highness, forgive Gao Shou for being stupid, I can't figure out the key!"

Fan Liye lowered his voice and said: "In this matter, we have all fallen for Najia Nanfeng's tricks. Do you still remember the day when the king and Vice Marshal Feng returned?"

Gao Shou glanced at Fan Liye, and said angrily: "I don't know how the last general doesn't know, it is not an order from His Royal Highness, and he would rather be able to interfere in the matter of guarding my palace." ”

Fan Liye said: "At that time, the son of this world was also forced to do so, and after he Jia Nanfeng returned, he told me that General Lu of Pingnancheng was a traitor, and then suspected Wei Shuai. ”

"Commander Gao, you say, I will believe his Jia Nanfeng's nonsense? Wei Shuai and General Lu have been born and died for my Fan family for so many years, how can this son of the world suspect him because of his words?"

Gao Shou was puzzled: "But I also heard about the events of that day, didn't someone see with their own eyes that it was the one named Yuan Xi who killed the first king?"

Fan Liye shook his head and said: "Actually, we didn't see it clearly that day, it was he Jia Nanfeng who suddenly accused Yuan Xi of being the murderer and didn't give him a chance to speak." Besides......"

Seeing Fan Liye's sudden hesitation, Gao Shou was curious: "What's more?"

Fan Liye felt a chord in his heart, since he decided to pull Gao Shou onto his boat, he couldn't hide it.

Besides, after Jia Nanfeng went out that day, a little eunuch in the palace once said that he saw with his own eyes that it was Jia Nanfeng who made it. ”

Gao Shou pondered for a moment and said puzzled: "Your Highness, the minister said something that should not be said, you should go to the king to explain this matter clearly, and expose Jia Nanfeng's conspiracy, so that Wei Shuai and General Lu will also be saved from being wronged, and now Vice Marshal Feng has also returned with the king, and five hundred elite soldiers have been sent to the palace, we should take precautions first, how can we be afraid of the two of them?"

Fan Liye smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Listen to me." ”

"Actually, I have never had the opportunity to tell the king, in order not to startle the snake, I have been with Jia Nan and the snake, pretending to listen and believe it, just to find an opportunity to talk to the king about this matter. But as you know, during the great funeral of the first king, I was ordered by the king to go to the vigil, and I had no chance to talk to the king at all. ”

Gao Shou nodded, even an outsider could see that the king seemed to be a little unfriendly to his younger brother at the moment.

Fan Liye continued: "Today, for some reason, he suddenly had to have dinner with me, so I was able to leave the mourning hall. But this meal, this son of the world is not easy to eat, Commander Gao, and I am not afraid of your jokes, my eldest brother, but he is very protective of me. Think about it, when the events of that day happened, the people in charge of the palace were me and Wei Shuai, as well as General Lu, and now General Lu has been determined to be the person behind Yuan Xi, and Wei Shuai is also suspected by the king, do you think I will still be spared?"

Gao Shou thought for a moment and asked, "Then why didn't Your Highness tell him the truth when you have dinner with the king tonight?"

"The truth?"

Fan Liye sneered and said softly: "I'm afraid that my good big brother knows better than anyone else in his heart." ”

Gao Shou scratched his head and said suspiciously: "Your Highness, don't always talk around the corner, the minister doesn't read much, and he doesn't like to use his brain since he was a child." ”

Fan Liye sighed and said, "Commander Gao, think about it, who did the king return to the city with?"

"Vice Marshal Feng!"

"Yes, it's Feng Yuan, my deputy marshal of Bazhou soldiers and horses, if there is no Wei Shuai, you can tell me, is this deputy marshal still deputy?"

Fan Liye looked at Gao Shou and said, "Right now, I'm afraid that Ning Kai is already your deputy, do you understand what I said?"

Gao Shou rubbed the back of his head.

Seeing that Gao Shou didn't speak, Fan Liye secretly scolded him for his poor brain, and continued: "Gao Shou, I privately think that the death of my father is inseparable from my good big brother. ”

Gao Shou suddenly stood up, his mouth open, his hands on the table, unable to speak.

How could he speak?

Even if he could, he would rather not say it.

He didn't even think he'd ever heard such a thing.

Fan Liye stood up and chuckled, "What's the matter, are you scared?"

Gao Shou shook his head, turned his back, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's go, I Gao Shou should have never heard of this matter." ”

Fan Liye shook his head and sighed: "Commander Gao, the reason why this prince came to you is not only for me, for Wei Shuai, but also for you!"

Gao Shou suddenly turned around, stared at Fan Liye and said, "If Your Highness was for me, you shouldn't have said those words, did you do this to make me feel guilty in my heart?"

Fan Liye chuckled and said, "For the rest of your life, Commander Gao, do you think you can still live alone? Even this son of the world can't escape this difficulty, can you still live?"

Gao Shou frowned.

Fan Liye sighed and said, "You can ask for more blessings yourself!"

After saying that, I want to go out.

Seeing Fan Liye pressing his hand on the door, Gao Shou suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, even if I have the heart to advance and retreat with His Highness and Wei Shuai, what can I do with my current ability?"

The corners of Fan Liye's mouth raised, then he turned his head and said calmly: "You don't need to do anything, you just need to find a way to go to Wei Shuai's mansion with me, remember, the sooner the better, tonight, I'm afraid that something big will happen?"

"Big deal, big deal?"

Fine beads of sweat were already forming on Takamori's forehead.

Just now, he looked at each other carefully, and suddenly felt that Fan Liye was right.

Why is he alive?

If the king tried to kill him, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

He was afraid of death,

He was even more afraid that his Gao family would suddenly suffer because of this.

Fan Liye approached Gao Shou and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that after tonight, Wei Shuai's position will be lost!"

"So fast, Your Highness, how can this be?"

Gao Shou raised his hand and wiped his forehead.

Fan Liye said: "Because tonight, it is a bureau they set up for Wei Shuai." ”

After speaking, he patted Gao Shou's shoulder and said: "Commander Gao, without further ado, you and I hurry up, I know that Wei Shuai will definitely feel that this matter is strange, but he may not think that it is aimed at his residence, if Wei Shuai comes to the palace tomorrow, ...... then"

Gao Shou slapped his forehead and said, "Isn't that just throwing yourself into the net? Let someone catch Wang Ba in a crockpot, then you can still run?"

Fan Liye raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Shou.

Gao Shou, who felt that his words were wrong, scratched his head and said, "Your Highness, since the king has the intention to frame you, how can he let you be like this?"

Fan Liye said: "Don't forget, he is my eldest brother after all, even if he wants to attack this son, he has to find a reasonable excuse, right? I'm afraid that after dealing with Wei Shuai, he will detain the mastermind of the assassination of my father on my head." At that time, he will be the holy lord praised by everyone, and the son of this world will have to bear a charge of killing his father and killing the king for him. ”

Gao Shou thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, since this is the case, the last general will leave with you, but the minister is worried about ......"

"I'm worried about your wife and children!"

Fan Liye said: "I have already thought about it for you, after leaving the palace, you and I will go to Wei Shuai's mansion together, and then you will bring your family to Wei Shuai's mansion overnight." Commander Gao, the city gate is closed at the moment, and the city gate guard is Wei Shuai's person, even if Deputy Marshal Feng's army is outside the city, it is impossible for him to lead the army into the city overnight, we need to meet with Wei Shuai as soon as possible, and then make plans. ”

Gao Shou, who had no idea, heard Fan Liye say this, and his heart was a little relieved, he arched his hand to Fan Liye and said: "Your Highness has thought it through, since this is the case, let's leave the house!"

Fan Liye's eyes lit up, and then asked, "Commander Gao, this son can't leave the palace with such a swagger, what can you do?"

Gao Shou chuckled and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, as long as the king doesn't doubt me right now, we have a chance." ”

————————————

After walking out of the study, Ning Kai shook his head gently, this king is really a "holy lord".

Fan Jiangong passed on Ning Kai again, not for anything else, but for Fan Liye.

He ordered Ning Kai to keep an eye on Fan Liye.

What was the specific reason, Fan Jiangong did not tell Ning Kai.

There is no need for him to tell.

Even if he had the heart to win over Ning Yuan, he didn't want Ning Yuan to become the second Feng Yuan.

Feng Yuan, who spoke very politely to himself.

In the future, Ning Kai will be used to balance Feng Yuan.

Even if Fan Jiangong didn't say it, Ning Kai could guess it.

If you can send someone to keep an eye on your brother, what else can you do?

The corners of Ning Kai's mouth, who was walking on the road, raised.

This king is so suspicious, it's a pity that his brain is not very good.

Ning Kai felt that he, Fan Jiangong, might not fully believe in his master.

But what can be trusted?

Right now, he can only trust his master.

Ning Kai suddenly felt that his two senior brothers were quite stupid.

Lu Yiping's brain is not good, and Feng Yuan's brain is also stupid.

I really don't know how such a person could sit in such a high position.

No wonder he Shu King did nothing.

This is an improper use of people.

Ning Kai is in a good mood, presumably in a few years, he will be able to become a person he can't do without.

Until then, huh!

But now, the master has another explanation for him.

If he does what the master tells him, it will not be easy for the king to explain it.

After all, he has only become the deputy commander, if there is such a big mistake, how can he follow him Fan Jiangong to make contributions?

What a meritorious achievement.

Ning Kai thought about it and felt that he still did what the master said.

After all, with the enemy's Fan Jiangong, he will be needed even more.

——————————

Fan Liye looked at the cabinet that Gao Shou was rummaging over, and said in surprise: "Commander Gao, you are the commander, how can you still have the clothes of the soldiers?"

Gao Shou said without raising his head: "Your Highness, it's not that the ministers are boasting, I Gao Shou leads the troops, relying on the word 'pro', these clothes are all clothes that I Gao paid out of my own pocket and prepared for the people below." ”

In fact, these clothes were all applied for by Gao Shouduo, he was timid, and he didn't dare to be greedy for ink and silver, so he made some fuss from his clothes.

Finally turned out a suit that Fan Liye wore that almost fitted, he handed it over and said, "Your Highness, just this one, if you are wronged, just pretend to be my personal guard!"

Fan Liye took the clothes and said, "What kind of grievance is this!"

After that, I started to change clothes.

After changing their clothes, the two went out.

Before heading out, Takamori glanced at the box full of clothes.

Blind!

——————————

Ning Kai sat on the roof of the palace, staring at the gate of the palace,

Seeing Gao Shou take someone out of the door, he chuckled.
