It's almost time to sleep, and it's the right time to sleep. Anyone who is disturbed from their dreams in this cold weather will definitely not have a good look. The same goes for Gao Miao, who just faces the familiar face. Li Xian, the new king of Zhou, did not dare to complain or even show his pain. He could only stand in front of Li Xian obediently and listen to Li Xian's instructions. Unexpectedly, Li Xian Except for Gao Miao's previous words when he came in to report, there was no more words for a long time.
The face is still the same, but the person seems to be a little different, but Gao Miao can't tell exactly what the difference is. He always feels that the little master in front of him is more calm and less childish that pops up from time to time in the past. , it felt like he was a different person from the past. When he thought of Li Xian's strange behavior during the day, Gao Miao couldn't help but shuddered, secretly wondering if his master had hit something evil.
"Are you cold? Now let someone pass you some ginger soup."
Gao Miao's trembling movement was not too big, it was just a slight sound caused by the friction of clothes, but just such a little sound made Li Xian wake up from his reverie, frowned slightly and glanced at Gao Miao, speaking with concern. He asked meaningfully.
"No, it's okay. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I'm fine."
Gao Miao was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard what Li Xian said. He was shocked and quickly bowed and stammered his thanks.
"Well, it's fine." Hearing Gao Miao's answer, Li Xian didn't insist much, nodded, changed the subject and said: "If I remember correctly, you have been in my palace for more than six years. That’s it.”
"Your Highness has a good memory. I entered the palace in September of the fourth year of Xianqing's reign. It would be six years and three months ago." Gao Miao didn't understand why Li Xian asked about this matter so politely, but he couldn't. I didn't dare to ask random questions, so I could only answer with a smile.
"It's been six years. This time has really passed by in a blink of an eye. Back then, I was just a child running around. Now, hey, that's all, let's not talk about it anymore." Li Xian was full of thoughts. Sentiment, of course, what he really laments is not these six years, but the wasted fifty-five years in his previous life. However, this kind of emotion is really not worthy of outsiders. At this time, facing the person who accompanied him all his life in his previous life. Gao Miao, Li Xian's eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist, and he knelt down, looked at Gao Miao solemnly and said, "Are you wondering why the king called you here at this time?"
"I dare not. Your Highness has given orders, and I must follow them."
Gao Miao couldn't tell what mystery was hidden in Li Xian's words. His heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his bowed body a little and answered humbly.
Li Xian nodded silently, and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Gao Miao with a complex expression and muttered: "I grew up in a deep palace since I was a child, opened a mansion, and was trapped by this high-walled compound. Not to mention relatives and friends, there are not many people that I can come into contact with. You, Gao Miao, grew up with Gu, so you can be regarded as Gu’s companion. Gu is not an ungrateful person. Although I dare not say that I will give you great wealth, I still I will never forget the friendship that we grew up with, and I will never be stingy with anything I can give you, can you trust me?"
"Your Highness, what I do is my duty. Even if I go through fire and water, it is the right thing to do. Please don't say this. My slave, I can't bear it, Your Highness." Gao Miao didn't understand why Li Xian said this. With these words, I could hear the true feelings in Li Xian's words and feel the true feelings in these words. I couldn't stand it anymore. I knelt down on the ground and replied with choked words. .
"Get up, I will only say this once, just keep it in your heart. I will live up to what I said tonight." Li Xian raised his hand in vain to signal Gao Miao Ping, and then took a deep breath and said
: "I have something I need you to do. It may be dangerous, but you have to do it. It's just that it's not convenient for me to come forward. Are you willing to help me get through it?"
"Ah..." Upon hearing Li Xian's words being so serious, Gao Miao couldn't help but froze, exclaimed, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, looking at Li Xian with a look of surprise on his face.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Li Xian didn't seem to be joking, his heart sank. He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and replied cautiously: "I am a slave.
My life is valued by His Highness, so I should die for His Highness. However, I can die, but I cannot miss His Highness' important events because of it. If Your Highness does not tell the truth, I will not dare to agree rashly."
Gao Miao's answer was obviously not impassioned, but Li Xian was not angry because of it. On the contrary, precisely because Gao Miao did not take his promise lightly, Li Xian felt a little more relieved. Of course, he had a friend who would accompany him throughout his life in his previous life.
As a matter of fact, Li Xian had long known Gao Miao's cautious temperament, so he was not surprised at all by his answer, so he smiled gently and said: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's just a matter of relationship.
It's really a bit serious. If it doesn't work, not only will the court be in catastrophic disaster, but Gu will also suffer a lot from it. For the sake of the big plan, even though it's a dangerous move, Gu also admits it. I don't want to say more about the rest.
, What you have to do is to help Gu keep an eye on the prison and prevent some villains from plotting against the old prime minister, do you dare to do it?"
"Prison? Lord Shangguan?" Gao Miao murmured twice in confusion, and looked at Li Xian's expression carefully. Seeing that Li Xian neither seemed to be joking nor had any intention of changing his words, his face immediately became serious.
He got up, knelt down on one end, and said with a solemn expression: "Although I don't know why Your Highness is doing this, but since Your Highness wants to do it, it is necessary to do it, and I must obey it. Please rest assured, Your Highness, even though I am
Even if he dies, I will never involve His Highness in it!"
"It's not that serious, just get up and talk." Li Xian waved his hand, motioning for Gao Miao to stand next to him, and said with a confident smile: "The reason why Shangguan Laoxiang was imprisoned was because he was framed by his father.
I have already noticed it, but it is deeply involved and the case is complicated and difficult to explain. I have ordered a general amnesty for the world to save Shangguan and the old prime minister from this disaster. Now the edict has been prepared, but it has not been announced to the world. During this period,
I'm afraid there are some scoundrels who will falsely convey the imperial edict and act recklessly. As a prince alone, there is no room for a treacherous and sycophantic child to run rampant. Moreover, my father has also told me this, so just go ahead. If something goes wrong, you will be alone to carry it!"
"I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness. Please make it clear to Your Highness that I will do the right thing for you!" Gao Miao was originally worried that Li Xian's child had a temper attack and interfered in government affairs at will. When he heard that there was a secret order from the emperor behind this move, he suddenly became more courageous.
He stood up and answered confidently.
"Okay, remember these words." Li Xian has made up his mind to fight for a while, and he has a comprehensive plan. Although there are some speculations in what he said before, they are not entirely true, but
It's not that far apart. Furthermore, after experiencing the same thing in his previous life, Li Xian already has 70% confidence in dealing with it. All that's left is to verify his conjecture. Although there is danger, Li Xian has the back-up plan to escape from danger.
Although he was here, he was not too worried that he would get into trouble because of this. Seeing Gao Miao accept the order, Li Xian smiled and touched his palm and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will select fifty loyal people from among the guards in the mansion."
Reliable people will be led by you to lurk beside the imperial prison, and try to send people to sneak into the imperial prison to find out the truth. Remember, without my order, you cannot act rashly. Once you discover that Cui Xuanzhe, the supervisory censor, appears in the imperial prison.
, you immediately rush to Prince Lu’s Mansion to see me, I will make arrangements for myself, if this happens, I will be safe, do you dare to do it?"
Even though Li Xian said it so lightly, when it fell into Gao Miao's ears, it was like thunder exploding, making him dizzy - the imperial prison is an important place in the country, and all prisoners are imprisoned. Once imprisoned,
If you enter, you will most likely die. It seems that this kind of place is not accessible to idlers. Not to mention a young eunuch like Gao Miao, even Li Xian himself had to ask for permission if he wanted to go to the imperial prison.
If something really happened, it would be a big sensation in the whole country. This was a head-turning job, so Gao Miao couldn't help but be so frightened that the corner of his mouth twitched for a long time, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Don't be so nervous. I won't send you to die. Trust me, I will make arrangements for myself." Li Xian knew very well where the imperial prison was, so he understood Gao Miao's hesitation very well and did not blame it.
He hesitated and became angry, but explained gently.
"Don't worry, your highness, I know what to do, and I will definitely not let down your highness's trust!" Upon hearing that Li Xian had already said this, Gao Miao knew that Li Xian's decision had been made, and there was no possibility of changing it.
He was so cruel that he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"That's good. Well, the reason for this matter cannot be told to outsiders. Even the guards sent cannot say it clearly. You must remember these words and don't forget them. If not, I will not be able to protect you."
Miao agreed, and Li Xian's solemn little face showed a smile of relief, but he did not forget to give another warning.
"Yes, I will keep this in mind, please rest assured, Your Highness." Although Gao Miao still couldn't figure out Li Xian's so-called plan, he also knew that this matter was not trivial, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Okay, this is settled. There's still some time before dawn, but I'm not in a hurry to run errands. Let's have a chat first. Come and sit down." Looking at the third man who was fighting against fate.
Li Xian was about to take a step, and he was very excited. He was not even a little sleepy. Seeing that there was still more than an hour before dawn, he had nothing to do, so he invited Gao Miao to sit across from him and have a drink.
"Your Highness, slave..."
In the past, Gao Miao was used to being casual in front of Li Xian, but after talking tonight, he suddenly discovered that his little master was really terribly scheming, and he was filled with fear. Hearing Li Xian greet him like this, he actually felt a little jealous.
Feeling at a loss, he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before, so he hesitated and didn't dare to sit down.
"Sit down, Gu said that you are Gu's companion, and you don't need to use those false etiquette in front of Gu." Li Xian smiled and waved again.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I forgive you for being so presumptuous." Seeing this, Gao Miao did not dare to hesitate any more. He respectfully apologized and knelt down next to Li Xian with great restraint.
"That's right, come on, let's drink a bottle of wine with Gu first." Li Xian smiled and picked up the wine bottle, pressed his hand, stopped Gao Miao's attempt to take over, filled up a bottle of wine for him, and then smiled
Hehehe picked up the wine bottle in front of him, made some gestures, drank all the wine in one go, laughed and said: "I heard that there is a Shaolin Temple in Zhengzhou, Henan, where there are countless masters, and they also saved the ancestor Taizong. I am always fascinated.
In other words, it would be a good thing if you can become a disciple of one of the eminent monks and practice your skills. If you have time, you can accompany me on this journey."
Gao Miao had been confused by Li Xian's various abnormal behaviors throughout the day and night, and he was a little confused. After drinking this large bottle of wine, his thinking became more active. At this time
Hearing Li Xian talk about martial arts training, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Highness, you are such a noble man who forgets things so much. If you want to practice martial arts, there is no need to go to Shaolin. We have several bodyguards who were born in Shaolin. Really?"
If you want to learn it, you can do it at home. Besides, the Shaolin Temple has many masters, but they are not invincible. If we want to talk about swordsmanship, Li Chunfeng, the commander of the Taishi Bureau in the imperial court, is actually the most serious master."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Li Xian lived a confused life in his previous life. He never cared about martial arts, let alone those so-called anecdotes in the world. Although he knew Li Chunfeng's name, he didn't know him.
As a matter of fact, when I heard Gao Miao say this, I immediately became interested.
"This is still false, then Li Taishi is also the head of the family..." Gao Miao also has a young mind. Although he serves Li Xian most of the time, he often fools around with the guards in the mansion in his spare time.
Since he had heard a lot of so-called Jianghu topics, he started to talk endlessly when he started talking. When he got up, his saliva flew three thousand feet away, and Li Xian's eyes widened when he heard it.
