Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Rebellion
The pale moon is like silver, lightly gathering above the royal palace, and those mica-fitted windows reflect the light of the moon like a mirror under the moonlit night, shining brightly.
When Chang Gong entered the room, Gao Zhan had already taken off his dragon robe and put on a white dress. His handsome and unparalleled face was as shiny as the finest warm jade, and his beautiful thin lips were filled with a faint smile. , the whole body exudes a brilliance that cannot be ignored.
He picked up a cup of fragrant tea, raised the corners of his lips, and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Chang Gong, you are becoming more and more lawless now, how dare you rob people's daughters by force?"
Chang Gong's mind exploded, and he secretly cursed a few immoral people who made up random things in his heart, and hurriedly argued, "Uncle Jiu, this is all other people's nonsense, how could I rob people's daughters, it's just a misunderstanding. "
"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Gao Zhan suppressed his smile, "What's going on?"
Seeing Uncle Jiu's gloomy face, Chang Gong couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so he hurriedly told the whole thing, and said, "I just didn't like those house slaves, so I wanted to play tricks on her." She glanced at Gao Zhan secretly again, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, do you believe me?"
"What do you think?" Gao Zhan said in a cold voice with no expression on his face.
Chang Gong hurriedly lowered his head again, screaming in his heart that something was wrong, Uncle Jiu seemed to be very angry today... Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard Gao Zhan's cold voice.
"Gao Changgong, you should be punished according to the law for molesting women in public."
Chang Gong was dizzy when he heard the word "punishment", and he couldn't help blurting out, but Gao Zhan's voice seemed to have a trace of teasing that couldn't be concealed, "But because you are my nephew, everything Free from punishment."
Chang Gong immediately understood that he had been tricked by Uncle Jiu, and raised his head angrily. Just when he was about to express his extreme dissatisfaction with his eyes, he froze all of a sudden.
The moon is bright without shade, and the spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon.In the bright place, Gao Zhan's brown eyes seem to be dyed with silver streamer, the gentleness between the brows and eyes is like the sunset at that time, the curve of the lips is like the flowers about to bloom in May, the meaning is still unfinished.
"So that's the case, Uncle Nine, does that mean that I can do anything wrong just because I'm your nephew?" Chang Gong also raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's great! If that's the case, I'll rob a few shops tomorrow, and grab a few by the way." She is a good-looking girl, whoever dares to provoke me, I will kill him! Anyway, I have the support of the emperor!"
Gao Zhan laughed lightly when he heard the words, Chang Gong blinked and started giggling, her expression was jumping up and down with the unique refreshingness of a young man, as radiant as the rising sun, her black eyes resembled a There is a clear spring, with crystal clear light, like an extremely fast whirlpool, sucking away all the power from the outside... From such a short distance, he can even smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body. The unique smell that breaks out from the fragrance, only the faint plum fragrance lingers in a trance, and it enters his senses with the night wind rippling one after another... It makes people trapped in it, difficult to struggle... It seems to make him forget his identity, Forget everything...forget that the person in front of her is her own——my nephew.
Outside the window, dark clouds rose at some point, covering the bright moonlight.
"Your Majesty, my lord heard that your majesty was stagnant last night and didn't think about eating. For this reason, I specially made porridge from Liaodong Chiliang and offered it before entering the palace. Now I am waiting outside the palace." The servant's voice suddenly changed from A voice came from outside the door, suddenly pulling him back from his trance, he quickly stabilized his mind, hesitated and said, "Send him in."
Chang Gong couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the servant's words, "Uncle Jiu, why are you stagnant? What's wrong with you? Did you let the imperial doctor see it?"
Seeing her worried expression, Gao Zhan's heart felt warm, but he seemed to be suppressing something and said lightly, "It's no big deal, since the warriors are coming, you should retreat first."
A trace of confusion filled Chang Gong's heart. Uncle Jiu's emotions seemed to be elusive recently, hot and cold, so he stopped thinking about it, stood up and said goodbye.
When she walked out of Zhaoyang Hall, she happened to have a face-to-face meeting with the Heshi Kai who was waiting outside the hall.
I don't know why seeing him today was a bit unpleasant, so after He Shikai saluted her, she just nodded lightly and walked past him indifferently.
At the moment when he brushed past him, Chang Gong didn't see He Shikai at this time, and there was an inscrutable smile on the corner of his lips.
The emperor has already started to drink the second bowl of porridge. He Shikai stood aside respectfully, with an expected smile in his eyes.It seems that the efforts to manage the servants beside the emperor were not in vain. If he hadn't known the emperor's food stagnation, how could he have delivered something to relieve the stagnation in such a timely manner.Chiliang in Liaodong has been the best among the five grains since ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, used it as an imperial porridge. It is the most suitable for relieving stagnation and appetizing. "He Shikai, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so superb." Gao Zhan put down the porcelain spoon in his hand, and there was a hint of approval in his calm and indifferent tea eyes. "Returning to the emperor, I have loved food since I was a child. I have carefully studied He Zeng's "Fresh Book", Cui Hao's "Food Classic" and Yu Cong's "Food Treasures", especially Cui Hao's nine-volume "Food Classic". The food recorded is all produced in the Northland, and I have only learned a little bit." He Shikai said while going forward to remove the tableware, as if he flicked his sleeve inadvertently, revealing a bright red streak on his wrist burn marks. "This is..." Gao Zhan asked casually. "Going back to the emperor, I heard that the emperor was stagnant and was impatient for a while, so when I was cooking porridge...but it's not a serious problem." He Shikai said lightly. Gao Zhan nodded slightly, "He Shikai, you have a heart." After finishing speaking, he turned his head slightly, remained silent for a while and asked as if he suddenly thought of it, "He Shikai, the Buddha said life The eight sufferings, in your opinion, which one is the most suffering?" He Shikai smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most difficult of these eight sufferings is naturally the suffering of not being able to ask for it. The valley is easy to be satisfied, and human desires are hard to satisfy. Who would feel that everything is satisfied?" Are you satisfied? If you are not satisfied, you want something, and if you don’t get what you want, wouldn’t you be distressed?” "I can't ask for it..." Gao Zhan repeated thoughtfully. "However, I feel that the great suffering of 'not getting what you want' is not the greatest suffering in life." He Shikai raised his head boldly and stared at Gao Zhan, "I can't hold it, I can't let it go, I can't understand it, I can't explain it, I also love it." Neither love nor hate nor hate, want to keep a distance but can't give up, want to be indifferent and miss all the time, this kind of confusion, entanglement and conflict torture is the ultimate suffering - the so-called 'not seeking'." Gao Zhan's body shook slightly, but quickly faded away his surprise, and he didn't speak again. Towards night, the dark clouds cleared, and there was already a bright moon and a little bit of Liao Xing outside the window.
A few days later, in the court hall, the emperor unexpectedly promoted He Shikai as the Minister of Zhongshu.After that, the emperor studied all kinds of chess skills with him in his spare time, and He Shikai suddenly became a big celebrity in front of the emperor and empress, and he was honored and favored for a while. Although everyone was discussing behind their backs, they disdain He Shikai's behavior of using all means to please the emperor to gain the position, but because of his current favor, he has to be polite and cautious in front of him, for fear that he will mess up in front of the emperor Chew your tongue. Chang Gong naturally didn't have a good impression of him, especially after that, Uncle Jiu almost never summoned her privately. I don't know if it was her illusion, Uncle Jiu's attitude towards her seemed to be much colder than before. Thinking of this, she glanced at He Shikai who was standing not far away, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, why did this guy gain the favor of Uncle Jiu just because of flattery? The emperor casually picked up a memorial, flipped through it a few times and said, "The king of Hejian said in the memorial that he wants me to increase the border guards. What do you love?" When Chang Gong heard that it was an excerpt played by the third brother, he was about to say a few words, but he didn't want He Shikai to speak first. "Your Majesty, the border is now guarded by General Hulu, why worry?" "It's different from what your lord said." Henan Wang Gao Xiaoyu took a step forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, since the new Khan came to the throne, in a short period of time, the Turks have broken through in the west, chased Khitan in the east, and merged in the north. Beyond the Weizhen Great Wall, everything from the Liaohai Sea in the east to Qinghai in the west extends for thousands of miles, and in the south from the north of the desert to the North Sea, five or six thousand miles, all of which are owned by the Turks, which should not be underestimated.” He paused, then continued. He glanced contemptuously at He Shi, smiling still, "My lord, this military affairs is not the same as playing the pipa." The obvious humiliation in his tone drew a few chuckles from below, He Shikai's expression froze slightly, and he didn't say anything more. Seeing He Shikai's embarrassing appearance, Chang Gong suddenly felt much more comfortable in her heart, but she was also a little surprised by her eldest brother's abnormal aggressiveness today, her upward gaze passed Heng Jia inadvertently, but unexpectedly found that he was staring at Xiao Yu , there was still the same smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. At this moment, a servant hurriedly knelt down at the entrance of the hall, and said, "I would like to report to the emperor, the governor of Jizhou, Shi Yuwen Zhongluan, and the Lang Zhongling, Lu Sili, jointly submitted a copy of the secret copy, please be sure to ask the emperor to have a look!" When Gao Zhan heard the word Yizhou, his eyelids twitched slightly, but his voice was still as cold as ever, "Show me up." After glancing at the handout, he raised his head and said a few words expressionlessly, "King Ping Qin, it's the other way around." The emperor's words seemed to fall into the water, and there was an uproar. Soon, several ministers stood up and said, "Ping Qin is a rebellious king. Please give an order to send a large army to suppress the rebellion!" The emperor put down the booklet and looked around the crowd, with a hint of worry flowing between his brows, "At present, General Hulu and his second son are guarding the border, all the family, who do you think is the right person to lead the army in this court?" ?” As soon as his words fell, a young man stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an army to Yizhou to suppress the rebellion!" Everyone looked up and saw a smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, peach blossoms like faces and willows like eyebrows, gentle and graceful like lake water, upright and clear like poplars, these two completely different temperaments are unexpectedly harmoniously intertwined, every breath, every frown and smile Heartstrings, exuding a brilliant brilliance like the morning sun. The white jade bead curtain on the emperor's black flat crown shook slightly, but he didn't speak. "The King of Lanling is very powerful, and he has already shown his edge in the war against the Turks. In my opinion, he is indeed a suitable candidate." The ministers on the side immediately echoed. Xiao Wan's expression changed, and she was about to say something, but Xiao Yu's gaze stopped her. The emperor's voice seemed to come from far away, "Although King Lanling is good at fighting, he is still young and inexperienced..." "Your Majesty, I am confident that I will capture the traitor and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop!" Chang Gong fell to his knees with a plop, "As a clan member of the Gao family, I receive the imperial salary, so it is my duty to relieve His Majesty's worries and difficulties! " The hall was quiet, and she could almost hear her own heartbeat clearly. At this moment, she heard another plop from behind, followed by Heng Jia's voice, "I am willing to go with you, too. The King of Lanling and his courtiers cooperated tacitly in the Turkic War before, and I believe that this time they will definitely live up to the grace of God." Chang Gong turned his head in surprise, but only saw Heng Jia's well-disguised smile, without any other emotions at all.She turned her head in wonder, the fox, who has always been wise and safe, took the initiative to ask for a fight, did she take the wrong medicine? "Your Majesty, the tiger father has no dogs. With Zhongshu's order to suppress the battle, King Lanling will lead the army, and he will return with great victory." Xiaoyu also took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "The King of Lanling listened to the decree. I canonized you as the Hussar General, leading an army of 100,000, and set off for Yizhou today. Hulu Hengjia is the general of the army, and we will go with you." Chang Gong was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank Shengen.When I raised my head, I just saw those tea eyes that were looming. Those eyes waved like newly melted Kunlun snow. When retreating, Chang Gong couldn't help pulling Heng Jia aside. "It's strange, haven't you always followed the principle of being wise and safe, why did you go to the battlefield with me?" "Gao Guiyan has not yet started to attack, and a secret report has already been sent. It can be seen that the hearts of the people are not in harmony, and our side is fighting against the rebellion. We have already defeated them in terms of morale. It should not be difficult to win. In addition, commanding the entire army You are the general in charge, that is to say, you are the one who rushes to the front. Then, why don’t I take advantage of such an opportunity that poses little danger to me and is very likely to make meritorious deeds?” Heng Jia smiled slightly . After hearing his answer, Chang Gong suddenly had the urge to beat someone up. This fox actually analyzed the gains and losses in such a short period of time and made a judgment that is best for him, it is really too cunning! "Admiration, admiration!" Chang Gong was out of breath, snorted twice, and walked away with his hands. On the other side, Xiao Wan was also having a fight with Xiao Yu. "Brother, why did you stop me just now, can't you see that the emperor seems unwilling to let Chang Gong go to Yizhou?" "The emperor has loved the fourth younger brother since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't want him to get involved in dangerous situations, but for the fourth younger brother, this time is an excellent opportunity. If he can capture the traitor in one fell swoop, he will surely become even more famous in the world." Xie Xie The man leaning on the tree trunk stares at the high clear sky in spring, and the gorgeous clothes do not avoid filth, and are spread generously among the soft green grass. "Brother, it's not that I don't understand this truth, but every time Chang Gong goes out to fight, I'm always in a state of turmoil. You said that if it's him..." Xiao Wan's expression froze, and he didn't continue. "Third Brother," Xiao Yu stared at him, "It is not enough for our country of Qi to rely on General Hulu, besides, heroes will also grow old. His fate." "Fate--?" Xiao Wan murmured and repeated, complex emotions came like a tide. It's strange to say that the sky that was clear just now suddenly began to rain. The rain in late spring is not as refreshing as the rain in summer.But such soft rainwater stained the exquisite embroidery patterns on the sleeves of the two of them, making them extraordinarily beautiful. Drizzling wet clothes invisible, Idle flowers fall to the ground and listen to silence.
The emperor has already started to drink the second bowl of porridge. He Shikai stood aside respectfully, with an expected smile in his eyes.It seems that the efforts to manage the servants beside the emperor were not in vain.
