When Gao Cheng and Shi Jin arrived in Jizhou, it was late autumn. It was not too cold during the day, but when it got dark, they lost their warmth. Gao Cheng and Shi Jin dismounted at the gate of the city, checked their waist cards, and led the horses into the inner city.
The sun has just set, and the smoke from cooking in Jizhou is curling up. The streets and alleys are filled with the smell of food. The friendly waiters in the inns, teahouses and restaurants are standing at the door to attract customers. Coming back from school, running around the willows along the road and laughing... a warm picture of life.
Around and around, Shijin Gaocheng soon came to the side gate on the west side of the prefect's mansion. At the gate, a tall and mighty bearded man was wearing a crow-blue pigmented jacket and a taupe brocade silk cloak, pacing left and right, from time to time. Looking at the street entrance, two young men in green clothes followed behind him and said something in a loud voice, probably telling the man to go back to the house and rest.
When Shi Jin saw that person, he smiled all the way: "I kept Taishou Wu waiting for a long time!"
Gao Cheng knew that the man was Wu Liuyi, the prefect of Jizhou, and sighed in his heart, although he liked Shi Jin very much along the way, but his guard did not relax, so he coldly handed the horse to the boy who came to lead the horse , standing there with his hands crossed, the dagger had already reached the palm of his hand, if someone made an attack, Gao Cheng could guarantee that he would be able to restrain Shi Jin who was closest to him in an instant.
Unexpectedly, when Wu Liuyi saw Gaocheng, he took a few quick steps, walked to a place three or five steps away from Gaocheng, and knelt down on one knee: "My subordinate Wu Liuyi has seen Lord Hou!"
Shi Jin sneered on the sidelines: "When is it, you are still doing these vain rituals, why don't you take Lord Hou to see the old general and the eldest princess, it's serious to talk about some serious business!"
Wu Liuyi also felt that he was too pedantic, and stood there for a while, neither standing nor saluting properly.
Gao Cheng gave a little help: "Get up, where are father and mother?"
Wu Liuyi made a gesture of invitation, led the way, and walked into the prefect's mansion. The servant behind him quickly closed the door and locked it.
Gao Cheng followed Wu Liuyi around the rocks, and in front of him was a green bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest, a small courtyard was faintly visible. As soon as he walked to the door, a woman in her 40s led two girls in the age of golden hairpins. Going out with a lantern, when he saw Wu Liuyi, he smiled and bowed: "Why is the eunuch Wu here at this hour? The princess and the son-in-law are having dinner!"
Wu Liuyi returned the salute: "If it wasn't for a big happy event, how dare Wu Liuyi bother you at this time! Mama Jin, let's see who I brought!"
Gao Cheng walked out from behind Wu Liuyi, and shouted excitedly: "Mother Jin..."
When the old woman saw Gao Cheng, she walked a few steps quickly, and pulled him, crying and laughing: "My brother Cheng, do you know what the princess and the son-in-law think of you, why did you come here today?"
This mother Jin is Gao Cheng's mother, the young maid of the eldest princess, she married the eldest princess to the Gao family, and later married Gao Shun, the housekeeper of the Gao family, and has a considerable status in the Gao family.Gao Cheng saw his family members, and he felt relieved: "I'm going to visit my parents right now!"
"Brother, let's go take a bath and change clothes first, I'll report and change the meals, let's use some together later!" Mother Jin quickly ordered the little girl behind her to report to Gao Cheng to clean up the house and prepare bath water.
Standing in the hall again, Gao Cheng has changed his attire, wearing a golden crown with hair tied on his head, a stone-blue brocade robe with treasure-faced flowers carved in silk, and a plain white half-moon jade belt around his waist.The Eldest Princess dragged Gao Cheng to wipe away tears, and at the same time inquired carefully about all kinds of things after the fall of Yunzhou. Make some guesses of your own.
After the meal, General Gao retreated to the left and right, only Gao Cheng and his parents were left in the hall, Gao Cheng knelt down: "The child is not filial, and the parents are concerned, but the child does not understand, how will the father and mother settle down in Jizhou?"
Old General Gao asked Gao Cheng to get up, and sighed slightly: "The current emperor is tyrannical and suspicious. Five years ago, Yuan Lang suddenly sent someone to look for your mother, hoping to get help from our Gao family. The military power in your brother's hands, not long after that, the emperor suddenly recruited your mother and me into the palace, made side-effects, and even gave you a dispensable official position, almost using you as a hostage to shake the mountain."
Gao Cheng recalled that at that time, he had indeed received an imperial decree suddenly, and it was not necessary to be a small official in the Shangshufang, but he had to go to the palace to report every day.
"So you agreed to cooperate with Yuan Lang? If that's the case, why did Shi Jin say something about Yuan Lang's character..." Gao Cheng bit his lip.
General Gao looked at his son with burning eyes: "Compared to Yuan Chenxuan and Yuan Lang, I am more optimistic about you. Although your surname is not Yuan, you have half of the Yuan family's blood. Yuan Chenxuan, like his father, is dark and lustful." , extravagant, even self-willed, he is not suitable to be an emperor at all, and Yuan Lang...he has too much hatred in his heart, he was no longer raised in the palace since he was a child, his behavior is rude, his behavior is perverted, his conduct...you know, he is not suitable for being an emperor. It is not the blessing of the common people, since we have already done this thing of losing our heads, why should we make wedding dresses for others."
Gao Cheng stared blankly at his father: "Then my brother..."
"Your brother is naturally one of us, and you are his younger brother. In this life, if he wants to assist, he can only assist you!" General Gao said with some coldness.
Not long after, Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin also came. Four men sat in the hall, General Gao sat in the front, Gao Cheng sat at the lower left of General Gao, and Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi sat in a row of guest chairs on the right.
"Cheng'er, you and Yuan Lang have stayed in Yunzhou for a long time, tell us about their situation!" General Gao said.
Gao Cheng lowered his head and frowned slightly: "What I know is limited. Yuan Lang's roots in Yunzhou are very deep, and he has three teachings and nine streams. Even the traffickers and pawns seem to be his people. He walks in Yunzhou City, as if he is in his own compound. Everyone could be his eyeliner."
"That's right, until now, it has been difficult for us to dig out Yuan Lang's roots in Yunzhou. He even occupied eleven states almost quietly. Our original plan was that after He Sheath occupied Yunzhou, at least we could Occupy three or five states, and Yuan Lang is at least on par with Yuan Lang in the Yanyun area, but before we can make a move, Yuan Lang occupied the three states closest to us and cut off all our foreign aid. In less than three months, Yanyun [-] There are eleven states in his pocket." Wu Liuyi frowned.
"There are so many high-level people around Yuan Lang, none of the spies we sent came back!" Shi Jin also said worriedly: "So at the beginning we didn't even know that Lord Hou didn't die in battle, until the old general let us reveal that we and He only gave us your news because of the relationship with the general’s mansion, but you had already left Yunzhou at that time, and when we sent someone to find you, you were already walking with Yuan Lang and the others. Yuan Lang and his military adviser martial arts It's very high, our people can't get close at all, even just after crossing the Yellow River, our people disappeared, probably because of Yuan Lang's tricks. So much so that our people didn't find Hou Ye's whereabouts until he returned to the Yellow River again Yes." Shi Jin was a little ashamed.
In fact, Gao Cheng also guessed that Yuan Lang knew that his parents were not in danger of life, so he was not in a hurry to talk about helping Gao Cheng save his parents, so it was not surprising.However, listening to his father and Shi Jinwu Liuyi talking about those plans, he was upset.
Xu was a little impatient to see Gao Cheng. Everyone guessed that Gao Cheng was tired from the long journey, so General Gao asked Gao Cheng to go back to rest first, and talk later when he had something to say.
Walking out of the hall, Gao Cheng dismissed the girl beside him and walked into the bamboo forest alone. After walking for a while, Gao Cheng suddenly saw Mother Jin coming from the opposite side. Do you want to go there?"
Gao Cheng thought for a while, and walked over slowly.
The princess was sitting on a bamboo chair among the bamboo groves, when she heard footsteps, she said softly, "Chenger, come here!"
Gao Cheng walked over: "Mother! It's cold at night, why are you here..."
"Come and sit!" The princess sat up, and the little girl next to her brought a small bamboo stool over. Gao Cheng sat down and gently beat his mother's legs.
"They want you to be the emperor!" The princess gently touched the youngest son's hair with her hand, and said lovingly, but her tone was helpless.
Gao Cheng bowed his head: "Mother is not happy?"
"You are my son, how can I be unhappy if you become the emperor, and I know that you have a pure nature, if you really become the emperor, you will be a good emperor."
"That mother is..."
"I'm worried about Yuan Lang, or about your father. Yuan Lang only has a rough fate. This country belongs to him, but he was put under house arrest in Yunzhou for 15 years. I just can't bear it..."
"Do you think Yuan Lang will be a good emperor?" Gao Cheng looked up at the princess.
The princess shook her head gently: "I don't know, I haven't seen that child for 15 years, now, he is also a big man!"
At night, Gao Cheng sat at the table in his room, twisting a broken hosta in his hand. The hibiscus carved on the hosta was shiny and white, lifelike, and the cinnabar remaining on the small "Yuan" character on the back had long since disappeared. It can be seen that Gao Cheng Take it out and play with it from time to time.Seeing this thing again today, Gao Cheng's mood is completely different, knowing that he and Yuan Lang are actually the same, even Yuan Lang is a real sword and gun, telling the world openly that he wants to seek power and usurp the throne.On the other hand, she quietly and insidiously, being a "sorrel", not only seeking power and usurping the throne, but also changing dynasties, changing the Yuan family's world to the Gao family's.If in the end Yuan Lang knew that it was the Gao family who had wiped out his years of hard work, he would never have the face to meet him in his life. If one day he met him again...
Gao Cheng closed his eyes helplessly, and grasped the broken hairpin tightly, so hard that a small "Yuan" character like a small pit was imprinted on the palm of his hand.
