Chapter 81: The Final Layout

Time seems to start standing still, and then suddenly accelerates, everything is moving towards the trajectory of fate, consciously or unconsciously, all the clues are converging, and the storm is about to become more and more intense.

Kunning Palace of the Great Song Palace, because the emperor is still young and has no queen, his biological mother, the Empress Dowager Huang, still lives here, and similarly, the Empress Dowager Gao is still recuperating here due to physical reasons. At this time, a handmaiden came in a hurry, and she said, "The Empress Dowager, the people of the Gao family in Dali have arrived." ”

"Oh, I see. The Empress Dowager Gao's reaction was not calm, and there was no joy in the arrival of her relatives, her eyes swept over the maid, and ordered, "Go and bring him in." ”

The maid obeyed the order, and soon she brought a little boy with her, only to hear the little boy cleverly step forward and kneel, "Grandson Gao Yu see the ancestral grandmother." ”

Gao Shi looked at Gao Yu, who bowed his head and asked for peace, but her eyes flashed with murderous intent, but her movements were hidden, and no one would notice them at all. She waved her hand to signal all the palace maids and eunuchs present to leave, and then smiled and said, "Yu'er, raise your head and let Grandma take a good look at you." ”

Gao Yu was secretly happy in his heart, his face seemed to have been successful, and the grandmother in front of him seemed to like his nephew very much. He looked up at the old man in front of him according to his words, and his cute expression was a typical Xiao Zhengtai.

The Empress Dowager Gao was frightened in her heart, the moment she raised her eyes, she only saw a giant python open its blood basin and bit it, her body shook and moved back, and when she looked again, she was still a cute child. There was more and more killing intent in Gao's heart, but in the end, it still dispersed. "Yes, yes, it looks good, it's just a little thinner. The road must have been hard, embarrassing you as a young child. ”

Gao Yu saw that the Empress Dowager of the Gao family moved back a little, as if she was frightened, and couldn't help but feel strange. But listening to the tone of the grandmother, it is not like it, but she said that she may be really tired from the car, after all, when she first came here, she met the supreme power of the Great Song Dynasty, some respect, some fear, and some worries, and some illusions under various emotions are also possible. "Grandma, I'm not tired. Seeing my grandmother is like seeing honey, and it's too late to be happy, how can I be tired. ”

The Empress Dowager Gao's heart flashed with family affection. But she was suddenly shocked, no, how did she feel that her heart had softened. Gao Hou looked at the child in front of her, and she was deeply frightened, "Is this the power of fate?" It's not that I'm afraid of Gao Yu, but I feel afraid of my fate in the dark. "Get up. Tell me how the family is doing. ”

Gao Yu got up respectfully, he knew that the right thing was coming, and he learned from the officials with both hands to salute. "The Empress Dowager, everything is fine at home, grandpa misses you a little, and he asked Yu'er to come. On the one hand, I was visiting my grandmother's body, and on the other hand, I also hoped that I could learn more knowledge in the Great Song Dynasty so that I could serve the country in the future. ”

The child does not speak like a child at all, and it is obvious that he has done his homework. Not only played the emotional card, but also showed his purpose. A smile appeared on Empress Gao's face, "My brother really has a heart." You're good too. Do you have any plans for coming?"

Gao Shengtai sent his grandson to come, naturally on the one hand, to support the Empress Dowager of the Gao family, and on the other hand, to win over the new monarch, if possible, he would prefer to be a hero of Conglong. Of course, because Gao Yu is still young, there must be someone else who sent to contact and support Gao, and he is just playing a buffering role. It is also to reassure the little emperor Zhao Xu that it is a proton sent. Another purpose of thinking about Gao Yu at a deeper level is to get close to another prince, Zhao Ji, and it is also a vote for collaborators.

Gao Yu didn't expect Empress Gao to ask him, so he was naturally stunned, but he quickly lowered his body and replied respectfully, "Everything is subject to Grandma's arrangement." ”

Gao Hou's eyes narrowed, and she watched Gao Yu speak, "Your real name is Di'er, but you changed your name to Yu." The person who asks for it, that is, the meaning of asking for people. The most powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty is the emperor, why don't you go to Xu'er and be a waiter, how about it?"

When Gao Yu heard this, he must have been reluctant, he had another purpose, and following the little emperor would ruin his hope. And what is this waiter, that is, to eat, drink and play together, I think he is also a smart person, and he has the ambition to soar to the sky, how can he be willing to fall. For the glory of the family, for his own future, he must refuse, "Grandma, Yu'er is happy, presumably you must also let Yu'er and the emperor have a relationship, so as to do their part for the Dali Gao family, but Yu'er was born in a small country in Dali, and her age is not yet enough to still need to learn, it is inevitable that the etiquette is not good, one is afraid of colliding with the emperor, and the other is afraid of delaying her studies." Grandma, I still want to go to school first, and wait for my grandson to learn the etiquette before going to serve the emperor. ”

The Empress Dowager of the Gao family listened to his words, a chill flashed in the depths of her eyes, the opportunity had been given to him, but he didn't cherish it, so it was no wonder to himself. "What you said is also reasonable, although this small country in Dali is not a barbarian, but after all, it is close to the barbarians, and there are inevitably inconsiderate places in life or etiquette. It's good that you can take these into account, so you can go to the royal academy of the Great Song Dynasty and study with the princes and princesses for a while. ”

Gao Yu thought that rejecting Empress Dowager Gao's proposal would inevitably cause her to be angry, but she didn't expect the other party to agree to his request, it seems that grandma is still interested in him. "Grandma Xie's fulfillment. "He's excited and he's one step closer to his goal.

Gao Hou clapped his hands, and his own maid came, "Someone, take me down." The maid led Gao Yu to retreat, and when she arrived at the door, Gao Hou suddenly said, "Yu'er, I gave you the opportunity, but whether you can do it or not, it depends on you." I hope you don't let me down. ”

Gao Yu thought it was an opportunity to get close to the emperor, but this could only disappoint Empress Gao. "Yes, Grandma Xie. The Empress Dowager Gao looked at his departing footsteps without the slightest hesitation, and sighed again in her heart, she would become a stranger from now on.

Gao Hou's closed eyes flashed with struggle, and her expression became firm after the most reluctance, "Since that's the case, then you can't blame me." This is the path you choose to follow. Her eyes were shining, "Come on, invite the Queen Mother to me." ”

A eunuch retreated, and after a while, the Empress Dowager Huang came, she trotted all the way, sweat was hidden on her forehead, "Mother, are you not feeling well." Gao Shi was moved in his heart, and looked at her eager expression and comforted, "The old body is fine. In the future, just let the palace maid and eunuch do this kind of trivial matter of boiling medicine, how can you do such a small thing as the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty. ”

Empress Dowager Huang breathed a sigh of relief, "Empress Dowager, it's good that you don't have anything to do." It's just that it's better to keep an eye on this kind of thing, and your phoenix body is the most important thing. It's nothing if I work hard. Gao Hou's heart was warm, and looking at her sincere smile made her even more determined to do what she was going to do, "It's good that you have this heart." Don't say anything, polish the ink for me first, and I will make a holy decree. ”

Empress Gao did not use Yi Zhi to describe the order she was about to give, but instead used words like Holy Decree, and the shocked Empress Dowager Huang was uneasy in her heart, could it be ....... Empress Gao also saw her uneasiness, "Daughter-in-law, don't be nervous, I don't plan to follow Empress Wu to become emperor, and I won't abolish the emperor." You can rest assured. ”

Empress Dowager Huang said that she was not afraid, although she didn't want Zhao Xu to become the emperor, but she couldn't stop the people who followed the emperor from thinking the same way, including her younger brother Imperial Doctor Huang. When he heard the words, he put down his thoughts, and ordered him to bring pen and ink and sharpen the ink seriously.

Empress Gao supported her body, she picked up the pen and began to write, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, read the ......" Empress Dowager Huang watched from the side, she didn't understand politics, and she didn't feel anything, but after Gao Hou wrote a holy decree, she wrote another one, and then another, a total of three holy decrees, and she also wrote a secret decree at the end.

Empress Gao looked at the three holy decrees in front of her, she picked them up and looked at them again, and felt that there was nothing wrong, "You, take these three holy decrees to the emperor and let him cover them with jade seals." The little eunuch on the side took the order, and he hurriedly took it and left. At this time, Gao Hou slapped three times with both hands, and a man in black appeared somehow and knelt on the ground respectfully.

Empress Dowager Huang looked at the person who suddenly appeared in surprise, but did she shout, her gentleness and kindness would not accuse anyone of her secrets. Gao handed the secret decree to the man in black, and his feelings were revealed, "Bo Zhan, give this decree to the Zhuge Divine Candidate of the Six Gates." Be careful. ”

The man in black named Bo Zhan nodded, and he took the next dodge and disappeared into the darkness again. This is the most embarrassing layout of the Empress Dowager Gao, her eyes have been looking to the future, although she is very tired, she feels that her life is worth it. (To be continued......)
