Chapter Seventy-Five: A Conversation at Night at the Palace
The early winter days and nights are very fast, and the temperature also drops. The people of Kaifeng Mansion closed their businesses early and rested at home, and then Zhuge Zheng and I couldn't rest, so he casually put on a slightly thicker coat and walked towards the palace.
Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Gao was half-lying at the head of the bed, her spirit was very good, the injuries of the great battle had recovered, although her martial arts were all wasted and she became an ordinary person, but her power over the years was still unmatched.
The Empress Dowager Huang brought bird's nest to serve the Empress Gao and ate it personally, the light of joy in her eyes surged, she handed the empty bowl in her hand to the palace maid, and said a common saying, "Queen Mother, your body has healed, the imperial doctor said that you have a heart disease, but as long as you take care of yourself, you will definitely be as energetic as before." ”
Gao Hou stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit over, took the other party's hand, and stroked it gently, "Silly child, you can take the words of the imperial doctor seriously." I know my situation very well, don't worry. I can live at least five more years. ”
Huang wanted to refute, but at this time, a maid came in and said respectfully, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Zhuge God is waiting to see you." When Gao Shi heard this, his face immediately became anxious and he ordered, "Quick, please wait for God to come in." ”
Empress Dowager Huang also got up, she turned around and left silently, and walked to the side hall on the outer floor. At this time, she knew that it was not good to disturb the Empress Dowager Gao, and Zhuge Shenhou's visit must be for national affairs, and it was better for her to leave if she didn't understand politics.
"Minister, Zhuge Zheng, I have seen the Empress Dowager. As soon as he entered, he was courteous and respectful. Gao didn't care, she spoke, "God, don't be polite. Quick, give a seat. Empress Gao instructed the palace maid, and then Zhuge Zheng and I naturally sat down, quietly waiting for Empress Dowager Gao's next question.
Gao was happy about Zhuge Zheng's arrival, because it meant that there was a lot of progress on what she wanted to know. "Tell me about it, God. I believe that you must have the news to enter the palace, otherwise you will not move with your temperament. ”
Zhuge Zheng smiled lightly. His short and fat body was slightly excited, and he sat up straight and said, "Gao Hou still understands me like this, yes, I do have some news." It's just that I'm not sure if that's what you want to hear after high school, or I don't think I should say it at all. ”
"It doesn't matter, is there anything I can't listen to? No matter how bad it is, I won't believe that with the strength of Da Song, there will be any concerns, you just have to rest assured to tell me." "The Empress Dowager Gao is still confident, and her authority has given her more support.
Zhuge Zheng opened his mouth, "Pan Dao." The orphan adopted by Ding Chunqiu of the Xingzhu faction is also a big disciple, a great man, and his character is not bad, but he is also unscrupulous to achieve his goals, but the basic moral limit is still there. From this point of view, he is relatively affectionate, and he cares about his relatives very much, Ah Zi, Ling Qing. Dugu is his guardian. ”
Gao frowned, she interrupted Zhuge Zheng's narration and asked, "Ah Zi." Ling Qing, who is Dugu, why haven't I heard of it, Zhu Bitang gave me no future as their existence. You sue me for their importance. ”
Zhuge Zheng and I were not surprised, but just glanced in the direction of the side hall. With his innate master's induction, he naturally knew that Empress Dowager Huang was eavesdropping, but he asked which parent would not care about his children. He didn't expose it, but took it for granted, "These three people can be said to be Pan Dao's relatives, and they are all very important, according to the intelligence, Ling Qing should be the girl he likes, and Ah Zi and Dugu are his sisters." After a pause, he added, "If something happens to them, I think the rivers and lakes may not be calm immediately." ”
Gao Hou was silent, and she couldn't see her joy and anger, but Zhuge Zheng and I knew that no one would pay attention to it, after all, it was impossible to marry the princess to become a concubine, although this possibility was very small. "Well, go ahead. ”
Her reaction was very flat, her eyes did not fluctuate a little, and she couldn't figure out the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Gao when she looked at Zhuge Shenhou. "Although this person is a disciple of the Xingzhu Sect, he does not have their unkindness, according to Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, even if he is still filial to Ding Chunqiu, so he will let Pan Dao go once. ”
"Oh, there was a battle between Qiao Feng and him, it seems that he was indeed lucky to be able to get out. Gao Hou's eyes flashed slightly, she seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but sigh. Zhuge Zheng and I understood people, and explained, "Judging from the grievances between the beggar gang and the Xingzhu faction, it is indeed unlikely to let go of any disciple of the Xingzhu faction, after all, it has only been more than ten years since the events of that year, and the former gang leader Wang Jiantong died at the hands of Ding Chunqiu, and Qiao Feng should take revenge." However, Qiao Feng is also a man of temperament, with clear grievances, and it is normal to take a fancy to his filial piety and let it go once. ”
The Empress Dowager of the Gao family nodded, "That's a good reason, but those who can do this can be regarded as real heroes." Go on. Zhuge Zheng spoke again in my clear voice, "This person is sixteen years old, handsome, thin, and a handsome man. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that his martial arts are already first-class. In fact, the news I got that his martial arts should also be the result of adventure, although I don't know what kind of martial arts it is, but it should be the top martial arts of the Daomen. This also reflects Lord Zhu's conjecture from the side, he is the son of fate. And looking at his battles, I found that although he lost more and won less, it was because his opponents were relatively high. But he was able to turn danger into a disaster, which also shows that his wisdom is endless. Moreover, the development of the Star Sect in the past two years seems to have his shadow, and the collapse of the Southern Sect of the Centennial Great Sect last year was his strategy. ”
Empress Gao's expression flushed, she clearly understood the history of Nanzong, but it was still destroyed under his scheme. Even if I, Ding Chunqiu, am a strong man, his limelight is still strong. "It's good, but I don't care about that, I want to know if it's his influence on Da Song, and what I need is evidence. ”
The queen is always the queen of the high, and her thoughts are not a simple grandmother, but the queen mother of a country. Zhuge Zheng's expression became extremely stern, and he knew that the next words were the real shock. This is also related to the luck of the Great Song Dynasty in the next hundred years, and they can't be ignored at all.
Zhuge Zheng and I fell silent for a while, he was thinking about how to speak, in fact, there was almost no information about this, more of his speculation and prediction of the future. Gao Hou didn't urge, she believed that Zhuge Shenhou would definitely be able to give herself a satisfactory answer, but this time it might indeed disappoint her.
In the future, after all, it has not happened, how can there be evidence. Even the slightest hint of clues just makes people guess differently.
Zhuge Zheng decided to tell the truth, for judgment, he believes that Gao Hou naturally has his own decision. "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Queen Mother, I don't have evidence. The future is unpredictable, even if I have already met him in person, I still don't have the confidence to see his influence on the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Gao's brows furrowed, but she didn't say that after a short period of stunnedness, she also understood, she was still in a hurry. "You said you'd seen him, are you sure of what you said?"
It's not a suspicion, it's just an expression of more importance about uncertainties. (To be continued......)
