Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six
At this time, Chang Gong was also having a headache because of that beauty named Feng Xiaoyu. In desperation, he had no choice but to place her in the mansion first, and planned to wait for a while. Let her go home. Fortunately, this Feng Xiaoyu is also a stable woman, and these days have passed quite peacefully. But Chang Gong didn't know that there was already an undercurrent in the palace.He Shikai, together with several ministers, repeatedly told Gao Zhan about the faults of the King of Hejian in front of Gao Zhan, and all the faults he picked up violated Gao Zhan's taboo.Gao Zhan didn't like Xiao Wan very much in the first place, and after listening to it a lot, he became even more suspicious.I couldn't bear it a few times and wanted to call him to ask him clearly, but every time I thought about Chang Gong, I had to hold back. The days passed like this.One day a few months later, when Xiao Wan went to Tianping Temple to find the abbot to play chess, he ran into an eminent monk from the Western Regions who happened to be wandering here. A tooth relic of the Buddha that I brought from the Western Regions was given to him together with a volume of Daji Yuezangjing. Xiao Wan knew that this Buddha tooth relic was not only rare in the world, but also had the meaning of protecting the prosperity of the country. It stands to reason that such rare treasures should be dedicated to the current emperor, but he never liked Gao Zhan, so he secretly offered this Buddha tooth relic In the golden niche in the secret room of his partial mansion. Xiaowan did this matter extremely secretly, and the relic was stored in the side mansion, so even Chang Gong didn't know that the third brother was hiding such a treasure.But Gao Xiaowan obviously ignored He Shikai's many eyes and ears scattered everywhere. When he received the news, He Shi happened to be adjusting the new pipa strings in Fuchu.After listening to it, he didn't seem to have much reaction, and continued to pluck the strings of the pipa.On the other hand, the minister Zu Ting, who was on the same side as him, couldn't hold back his anger, "My lord, the king of Hejian obviously doesn't take the emperor seriously, should we tell the emperor about this immediately?" He Shikai stopped, showing a meaningful smile, "Zu Ting, wait a few more days, it's still early." "A little early?" His face was inexplicable. "Zu Ting, we can't waste such a good opportunity." He chuckled and played a few times, and the tuned pipa was crisp and graceful, "I've been waiting for such an opportunity all this time." "And my lord..." "Zu Ting, within the next three days, there are still some things you need to do." Three days later, the monks went into the palace to meet the emperor, and told Gao Zhan about Xiaowan's private possession of the tooth relic. "Your Majesty, this Buddha tooth relic is supposed to belong to the Son of Heaven. The King of Hejian actually hid this treasure privately and dedicated it to His Majesty. He clearly has ulterior motives." He observed Gao Zhan's face over and over again, adding fuel and vinegar to the relic. Things rely on one meaning. Although Gao Zhan's face was still cold, the haze in his eyes had revealed the anger in his heart at this moment, the ice-like eyes seemed to be able to freeze everything. "Your Majesty, have you heard the folk songs recently?" He narrowed his eyes calmly, "Henan seedlings grow in Hebei, and golden roosters crow on top of poplar trees. Henan and Hebei belong to King Hejian. Fiefdom. The golden rooster crows, isn't this a metaphor that someone might seize the throne? King Hejian is usually disrespectful to the emperor, relying on his own status to disregard the emperor. Now that he hides this treasure privately, is it true that there is a conspiracy? Heart? Your Majesty, you must not take it lightly." As soon as the words "rebellion" came to his ears, Gao Zhan's eyes had already flashed a trace of murderous intent. For a high-ranking emperor, these two words were the most unheard. He Shikai couldn't be more clear about this point. The reason why he said so many bad things about King Hejian in front of the emperor and made so many preparations is to finally give King Hejian a fatal blow. charges. Conspiracy - this is a crime that the emperor will not tolerate anyway. No one can save him, including King Lanling. The sky suddenly began to drizzle, and the sound of the wind and rain sounded like weeping, and the pool water not far away was shrouded in mist and mist.The feeling of autumn is even worse, and the score of the sounds of nature intertwined by wind and rain is like a collection of intricate chapters, with the utmost urgency and ups and downs. "Uncle Jiu, I just want the whole family to be safe, can you give it to me?" This sentence suddenly appeared in Gao Zhan's mind, and when he thought of the figure of that person, he forcibly restrained the strong desire that kept gushing out of his heart. meaning. He was all too familiar with that special killing intent.When he provoked Gao Yang to brutally kill the third brother and seventh brother, when he smothered his second brother Gao Yang to death, when he sent someone to strangle his nephew Gao Yin, when he planned to murder the sixth brother Gao Yan, when he slashed When Gao Bainian was on his head, when he forced Xiaoyu to drink the wine from the golden cup, when he ordered to kill Hu Luguang's grandson...he felt this killing intent more than once. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene of hunting in the grassland with his father when he was a child.There, he discovered a very strange thing, those hawks on the steppe, their young, grow up in a very special way.A pair of eagles will lay several eggs.At first, several young eaglets will hatch.The first born eaglet will squeeze its siblings out of the nest one by one and fall to their deaths.Or, while in the nest, it will in turn peck the young to death.In order to survive better, it is not only the instinct of human beings to get rid of relatives who are threatening to them, but also animals and birds. What's more, it is the king of a country who owns this great country. "He Shikai, immediately send someone to lead the imperial guards to search Gao Xiaowan's mansion." Gao Zhan restrained his killing intent, and calmly tapped the stone table in front of him with his knuckles, "If this is true, cut off his title." For Chang Gong, this is the biggest concession he can make. "Your Majesty is wise." He Shikai lowered his head and smiled imperceptibly. Your majesty, what I am waiting for is your words. King Hejian, no one can save you. nobody. (End of part two)
