Bright moon out of Tianshan

Hearing the sad news of Xiao Xuefei's passing, Yao Yuan just let it go, Yao Shunming burst into tears on the spot when he heard the news, Yao Yuan hurriedly turned around to coax him.Gao Huai also had to be patient and follow the gentle persuasion, finally persuaded Yao Shunming to stop his tears, and told Xu Siqing and Yao Yuan to live together peacefully in the future, and then asked someone to pick up Yulingzi and hand it to Xu Siqing, Xu Siqing thanked him very much, and took the place happily and left.

Yao Yuan had no choice but to return with the heartbroken Yao Shunming.

Gao Huai watched them leave, but remembered something: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people in Zhao Yuancai's harem. Are there any court ladies and male favorites who are willing to leave? Why don't they all give out a few taels of silver and go out to marry each other?" .”

His father seemed to want to break his promise, Gao Huai didn't want to talk to him, and planned to discuss with Prime Minister Yun, but before he reached the place, he saw Tao Yao running in a panic, stammering: "Xiao No...it’s not good, your eldest brother took the emperor’s imperial decree and broke into Zhao’s harem with soldiers and horses, saying that he wanted to deal with Zhao’s princes, go and see it!”

Gao Huai's expression changed drastically, and he said, "I'll go there first, you go and tell Master for me, let him call General Yang, and come here immediately with soldiers and horses!"

He sent Taoyao away and rushed all the way to the harem. He heard a commotion from a distance, the shouts of soldiers, the cries and screams of men and women. In an open space in front of Fengyi Palace, I finally saw a large number of soldiers under the leadership of Gao Hong, driving many concubines and palace people into one place like animals, and many of those who resisted a little were already dead on the ground It was a mess.

Zhao Guo's empress Wei Mingjing was unruffled in the face of danger, she stretched out her arms to protect the two little princes and a little princess, but the two older princes had already been hacked to the ground by soldiers ordered by Gao Hong, and their bodies were thrown in front of Wei Mingjing not far away.The three living children were crying in horror, Wei Mingjing covered their eyes with his sleeves, and whispered, "Don't look."

Several soldiers rushed forward to drag the children out of her arms, Wei Mingjing yelled angrily: "Who dares to touch me? I am the princess of Beiyan! You are the only ones who can touch me!"

Gao Hong sneered and said, "What's wrong with Beiyan's princess? Sooner or later we'll even clean up Beiyan's emperor! Come on!" A group of people went up to chat with her, Wei Mingjing was terrified and grabbed a soldier's arm Biting off his arm, the soldier was so angry that he raised his knife and was about to cut it off.Gao Huai saw it, and rushed in like a ghost in a flash, and cut off the soldier's head with a sword, and then the sword was like a stream of light, and the sword was everywhere, invincible, and the soldiers of Dongqi were immediately beheaded by him on the spot. more than ten.

The remaining people were petrified, and then rushed away.

Gao Hong was also stunned, and when he saw clearly that it was him, he suddenly jumped into a rage: "Third brother, what do you want to do? Do you want to resist the edict? Want to rebel? Want to kill your brother?"

Gao Huai flicked the long sword in his hand, his inner strength was everywhere, and the blood stained on the sword was thrown far away with a slap, and it was all thrown on Gao Hong's lapel, and said coldly: "So what if I kill you?!"

Gao Hong took a step back involuntarily, and said angrily: "Third brother! You are crazy! I have the imperial edict from my father!"

Gao Huai changed hands and put the long sword behind his back, and said: "Father had an agreement with me at the beginning, and you have no jokes, so I have the final say on the affairs of the Zhao Kingdom's harem! Get out of here quickly, and don't annoy me!" Followed him Then, Yang Baozhen rushed in with a large number of soldiers, and stood behind Gao Huai intently.

Of course Gao Hong couldn't get out, he shouted: "Come on, go up and chop him up before he's insane!"

Gao Huai's long sword vibrated, buzzed continuously, and shouted: "Who dares?!"

Gao Hong's soldiers had already seen Gao Huai's method of killing people, and they hesitated to step forward, but Yang Baozhen and others unsheathed their weapons one after another. Aimed at Gao Hong and others.At the moment when swords were on the verge of breaking out, Yun Rui's voice was heard from far away saying: "Your Highness, wait a moment!" It was Gao Zhi who heard that the two were having a quarrel and sent Prime Minister Yun over to deal with the matter.

This kind of battle even surprised Prime Minister Yun, who has experienced many things in the world, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please be calm and don't be impatient. Come with the old minister. Your Majesty is in the Bingde Palace." Gao Hong immediately said: "I I was about to report to my father, but now my father's imperial decree is no longer effective, but I don't know who is the emperor in our Eastern Qi Dynasty? What is it that works!" Angrily, he took the lead, and actually sent Prime Minister Yun Throwing it behind Gao Huai turned around and gestured to Yang Baozhen, asking him to protect the person who needed to be protected, and then followed Yun Rui silently to the Bingde Hall. After entering the hall gate, he heard Gao Hong's voice complaining : "Father, your imperial decree is useless now. Look at the blood on my son's body. It was all thrown by the third brother after he killed the soldiers under my son. He is so cruel and arrogant, and my son is older than him." , I have no choice but to let him face to face. But father, you want to make the decision for your son!"

Gao Huai saw Yunrui, Ding Yun, Gu Yong, Hou Tianxiang, Taoyao and others in the hall accompanying Gao Zhi, he approached slowly, and when Gao Hong came to an end, Fang Shen said: "Father, If the imperial edict was really issued by the emperor, then the emperor has broken his trust in his ministers! The king of a country has such dishonesty in his words, which makes the ministers extremely chilling!"

Hearing his strange tone, Gao Zhi was slightly taken aback: "You want to turn against your father?"

Gao Huai said: "I dare not!"

Gao Zhi said angrily: "You still say you don't dare? Listen to your tone! You are really obsessed with sex! Hong'er, go over and slap your father!"

Gao Hong said: "Yes!" Walking in front of Gao Huai, he was slapped twice with his backhand.A few old courtiers couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded for mercy one after another. Gao Zhi also wanted to find a step down, so he pushed the boat along and asked, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Gao Huai said: "I am not wrong! The original intention of my going to war was to rescue the prisoners of war in Southern Chu! Father and Emperor also promised me to treat the prisoners of war kindly, but now he betrayed his promise. It is not me who is wrong! It is you!"

Gao Zhi stretched out his hand to press the armrest of the dragon chair, stood up slowly, stared at him intently for a long time, and seemed to see his extremely stubborn, soft and hard Queen Jingcheng back then in a trance, he had difficulty breathing, and stretched out his hand to stop After touching Gao Hong, he said in a trembling voice: "Huai'er, you contradict your father in public, do you know how sad your father is? You are angry with me, and you have been away for ten years. Do you know how your father went to heaven and earth? Looking for you? When I picked you up and came back, I kept you living in the palace and guarding my father's side. Which of your two elder brothers has such an honor? Now you are so angry at me for such a trivial matter!"

Tears welled up in Gao Huai's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Father must agree to this incident, otherwise I will live without face between heaven and earth..." Seeing his tears, Gao Zhi felt the same as Gao Hong. His swollen cheeks softened for a moment, and he was slowly supported by the palace servants, who stretched out his sleeves to wipe his tears, but Gao Hong suddenly said: "Third brother, no matter how much you do, Xiao Jian can't help it." I may not be willing to accept your favor, he and Zhao Yuancai have already drank a glass of wine, what's the use of you helping me?"

Gao Zhi turned his head and gave Gao Hong a majestic look, and said, "Stop talking too much!" Then he turned his head to look at Gao Huai, and said slowly, "Huai'er, is it related to Xiao Jian that you don't want to marry the princess? Even if you are a good man, it is not a shameful thing. When you get married later and have children, it is up to you to accept dozens of male favorites. But Xiao Jian, you still don’t want it, father When I came here to Taiyuan, I already knew everything. As expected, after being a second minister, he was extremely low-slaughter, and even drank a cup of wine with that Zhao Yuancai! He still has the face to live? Why do you miss him!"

Gao Huai raised his head abruptly, looked at his father in shock, and said after a long while: "Father, you can't say that about him! Who he drinks with is his own business, and he has the right to choose who he wants to drink with." , where is it low? What he did in Zhao State was for our Dongqi Dynasty, and it was our Dongqi Dynasty who benefited in the end. He has a magnanimous heart to serve the country, so why is he ashamed? Alive? Others confuse black and white, and don’t distinguish between right and wrong, so it’s fine to say that, father, you also say the same, don’t you feel worthy of the heaven and the earth?”

Gao Zhi choked on him, almost speechless.Gao Hong saw that his father was embarrassed, so he quickly interjected, "Third son, if you say one thing to your father, you can answer ten! It's a pity that you can only talk back to your father with such a good eloquence! If you have the ability to coax that What's the use of showing off your power here?"

Gao Huai said angrily: "Get lost!"

Gao Hongdao: "Father, listen, just now outside, he scolded my minister like that, do you believe it now?"

Gao Zhi frowned and stared at Gao Huai. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You are really crazy! Huai'er, you'd better go down and get sober! Let your emperor handle all the aftermath of Zhao State for the time being. Don't bother asking."

Gao Huai raised his eyebrows, and if he gave his heart to Gao Hong, then he could die directly.He thought about it for a while, and decided to stop doing nothing, and said categorically, "No way! Zhao Guo was brought down by me, and I can only deal with everything!"

Gao Zhi said angrily, "Are you going to defy the edict openly?"

Gao Huai avoided answering the word "resisting the decree", but said: "I have one more thing to say. I hope that the father will do what he says. Whoever seizes the jade seal of the enemy country first will be the crown prince. Now my son I am willing to hand over the position of crown prince to my younger brother Gao Che, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled!"

Gao Zhi was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Gao Huai continued his efforts and vowed not to give up: "Gao Che was sent to Taiyuan yesterday by his son-in-law, and my father has not seen Che'er yet. When he sees Che'er, he must I like it. Come here, bring the fourth prince up and show it to the emperor!"

Following his words, a person came in from the door, with a round face in Tsing Yi, it was Shen Huanhuan, the master of the Scarlet Demon Hall, holding a child under two years old in his arms, with fair skin, beautiful eyebrows and black pupils, when he saw Gao Huai, He opened his hand towards him and called out vaguely: "Brother, brother..."

Hiding behind Gao Ban, Gao Hong said in a low voice, "Where did this bastard come from? Pretending to be a descendant of the royal family? Father, don't trust me!" He knew Gao Zhi's intentions and knew that he didn't want to recognize the prince, so he spoke nonsense recklessly gibberish.

Gao Zhi's face froze, and before he could speak, Gao Huai had already shouted: "What are you talking about? Who are you calling a bastard? How dare you talk nonsense!"

Gao Hong sneered and remained silent, Gao Huai ignored him, turned his head to look at Gao Zhi and said, "Father, my son hopes that Father will fulfill his promise now and canonize Gao Che as the current prince!"

He held the long sword upside down in his hand, full of murderous intent, Gao Zhi was startled and angry, and said: "Are you forcing the palace? Do you want to kill the king? What do you want to do?"

Gao Huai saw the slightly terrified look on Gao Zhi's face, and suddenly understood, he hurriedly took a step back: "I don't dare. I just want my father to fulfill his promise."

Gao Zhi had been an emperor all his life, and he was used to all manner of majesty. It was the first time in his life that he was forced to such an unbearable situation by his son today. His heart was full of shock and anger, and he kept shouting: "That's impossible! Huai'er, if you I really don't care about the crown prince of our Dongqi, and the emperor will not let this old face force you, and just canonize your eldest brother! Prime Minister Yun, you are drafting an order to canonize the eldest prince as the current prince!"

Gao Hong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Father loves you, sons and ministers, thank you father!" Hou Tianxiang, Taoyao and others became anxious for Gao Huai, but because of their low positions, they had no chance to speak up.

General Liang Fei also followed into the palace at some point, and stood far away at the gate of the palace. Hearing the high flag canonize Gao Hong as the crown prince, he knelt down and said, "The emperor is wise."

Gao Huai glanced at him, but suddenly saw Liang Fei's soldiers surrounded the hall.Presumably he heard the disputes among the people, so he mobilized people to support Gao Hong in case of emergency.

Gao Huai's eyes turned as cold as ice in an instant, and anger rose from his heart inch by inch. What is the purpose of his hard work for two years?The emperor's father betrayed his promise, and the emperor's brother sneered at him. He spent half his life with Xiao Jian when the city was broken, but now he has ended up like this!

He slowly took a breath, and said slowly: "Father, that's not acceptable!"
