Gao Xi was stunned for a moment. This person should be in Renshou Palace now. What should he do with him? Gao Xi immediately ordered his son, "Invite him in for me."
Gao Biaoren left in a hurry. No matter what Gao Xi thought, he could not think of a reason for He Ruobi to find him. Although Yang Yuanqing's attack on He Ruobi's mansion had spread throughout half of the capital, it had not yet reached Gao Xi's ears.
After a while, Gao Biaoren led He Ruobi into the study. As soon as He Ruobi entered the door, he bowed and asked for help, "Please help me, Mr. Gao!"
Gao Xi smiled slightly. He Ruobi had not seen him for several years. He Ruobi's hot temper had not changed at all, and it was not known whether his fatal habit of being arrogant and outspoken had subsided.
"General He Ruo, please sit down and talk!"
Gao Xi winked at his son, and Gao Biaoren withdrew. Only Gao Xi and He Ruobi were left in the room. Gao Xi poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "This is Hongzhou Xishan White Dew Tea. I
I like it the most. After tasting it, I suggest General He Ruo drink less buttermilk and more tea."
He Ruobi had no intention of drinking tea. He took a sip, swallowed the tea and sighed: "Mr. Gao, I was humiliated today. My halberd was broken and the door was smashed. My son was also beaten into a cripple. I really can't swallow this breath, especially
Ask Duke Gao for advice."
Gao Xi asked curiously: "Who dares to humiliate General He Ruo like this?"
"Yang Yuanqing, grandson of Taipu Yang!" He Ruobi said bitterly.
"Yuanqing!"
Gao Jiong was stunned, "The child is back?"
He Ruobi felt really unhappy when he heard Gao Xi call Yang Yuanqing his child. He did not dare to get angry, so he could only hold back his anger and told Gao Xi everything that happened today.
In recent years, as a commoner, Gao Xi has been deeply involved in the people. He has heard about He Ruo Sanhu's misdeeds for a long time. He has never understood why He Ruobi's son has suffered continuous setbacks in these years but remains arrogant. Isn't he afraid of offending those in power?
Yesterday at dinner, he told his family that he should be low-key, and cited He Ruobi's three sons as counterexamples. Unexpectedly, things happened today, and his reputation was ruined by Yang Su's grandson Yang Yuanqing.
He still had vivid memories of Yang Yuanqing, especially his bravery when he was a child and fought against six people by himself. With Yang Yuanqing's clear-cut character, He Ruo Sanhu must have done something that outraged both humans and gods, which led to Yang Yuanqing's brutal revenge.
Thinking that Yuan Qing's ambition at that time was "I would rather be a centurion than a scholar", and now at such a young age he has already accumulated merit and become a general, almost chasing the emperor of that year, Gao Xi couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile on his face.
, when do you want to see him.
When He Ruobi saw Gao Xi's face actually showing a smile, his face suddenly sank and he said in a long voice: "Gao Gong!"
Gao Jong didn't want to care about He Ruobi at all, not to mention it was related to Yuan Qing. Even if it had nothing to do with it, he didn't want to care about it.
In Gao Jong's view, He Ruosanhu deserved his punishment. When He Ruobi's own son was injured, he became furious, but when his son beat others to death, he took it lightly and ignored it.
Gao Yan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "In this matter, I suggest General He Ruo go to Yang Taipu or Xuangan. After all, you are the in-laws, so you can sit down and discuss everything. What does General He Ruo think?"
Since the death of He Ruoyunniang, the relationship between He Ruobi and Yang Su has weakened a lot. Sometimes he even forgets that Yang Su is his brother-in-law. He Ruobi said bitterly: "I guess Yang Yuanqing came to smash up my house and hurt my son. Nine out of ten
With Yang Su's acquiescence, if he still had a little bit of Yun Niang's old love in his heart, he wouldn't be like this. Gao Gong, besides looking for Yang Su, is there any other way to go?"
Gao Jun shook his head, "The Holy Emperor is critically ill, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne. With Yang Su's merits, he will surely be the leader of all officials. I advise General He Ruo to endure this! With Yang Su's current power, you can't afford to offend him."
Gao Xi's words were so harsh that He Ruobi's face turned red. He couldn't bear it any longer and sneered, "Do you think Yang Guang can ascend the throne? I might as well tell Gao Gong the truth. That person is locked up in Yingquanfang.
He is not a deposed prince."
This sentence was so sudden that it shocked Gao Xi. It wasn't Yang Yong who was being imprisoned in Yingquanfang. Who could it be? Then where was Yang Yong?
"What do you mean...?" Gao Xi asked urgently.
He Ruobi suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. He looked panicked and waved his hands quickly, "I don't know about this matter. Don't ask me, Mr. Gao."
Gao Xi stared at him with bright eyes. He Ruobi's eyes flickered and he did not dare to look at Gao Xi. He seemed flustered. He quickly changed the subject, "According to Gao Gong's wishes, can I only go to Yang Su?"
Gao Xi stared at him for a long time, and then slowly said: "If you don't give it a try, how will He Ruo know it won't work?"
"Okay! Thank you for your advice, Mr. Gao. I won't disturb Mr. Gao's rest and will take my leave."
He Ruobi hurriedly said goodbye. Gao Xi sent him back to his study and paced back and forth in the room. He was still thinking about He Ruobi's gaffe just now: "Do you think Yang Guang can ascend the throne? I might as well tell Gao Gong the truth.
The man locked up in Yingquanfang is not the deposed prince at all!'
This sentence shocked Gao Xi. He was a man of great political wisdom. From this short sentence, he keenly sensed that a storm was coming. No! He could not be in the vortex of the storm. He could not stand in the whirlpool of the storm.
will be implicated.
He looked up and saw his son Gao Biaoren walking into the study. He immediately told his son, "Pack your things immediately. We will return to the capital early tomorrow morning."
Gao Biaoren was stunned, "Father, what happened?"
"Don't ask any more questions. Go and order your family to pack up your belongings immediately. Go quickly! We must leave as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning."
Gao Xi was so anxious that he wished he could leave tonight.
........
Late at night, a carriage was speeding on the royal road to Renshou Palace, followed by more than a dozen guards on horseback. The carriage stopped when it reached the palace road station.
Yi Cheng is a low-level official, his surname is Qin, he is thirty-five or six years old, he is very smart and capable. Although Qin Yi Cheng is a young official, he has great knowledge. Even the emperor Yang Jian praised him, and even the prime minister, princes and the like, in
In his eyes, ordinary things are as common as daily life.
Although it was already the first watch, Qin Yicheng did not sleep. During this period, there was an endless stream of officials going to Renshou Palace, day and night. Most of the officials came to his station to rest, have some food, and let him
Tired of coping, he also heard that the Holy Spirit had been critically ill these days, and he didn't dare to rest.
"Hey! Your Majesty is a good emperor who is rare to see in a thousand years! He should be emperor for another hundred years. I really hope he is safe and sound."
At the door of the inn, Qin Yicheng and another employee were chatting, expressing their appreciation for the emperor's diligence, thrift and benevolence.
"I also hope everything is safe so that these officials can return to Beijing as soon as possible."
He was exhausted from work, yawning all day long, and tired after a long day. He really had no energy and now just wanted to go to bed.
Qin Yichen was also a little tired. He looked at the distance of the royal road. If no one came, he would simply close the door and sleep. After looking for a long time, there was no movement on the royal road. Qin Yichen stood up and was about to order the door to be closed. Suddenly
, the sound of horse hooves was faintly heard on the imperial road. It seemed far away, but it was heard very clearly in the quiet night.
A wry smile appeared on Qin Yichen's face. Someone came again. He quickly ordered everyone, "Go and get ready! I guess you need to eat something."
Everyone had no choice but to complain and go into the house. After a while, the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer. Qin Yichen also saw it clearly. It was a carriage, followed by more than a dozen guards. There was no lantern on the shaft. The origin was unknown, but Qin Yichen
Cheng knew in his heart that the officials going to Renshou Palace were at least fourth grade or above. He did not dare to neglect and put on a professional smile. He could already see that the carriage was slowing down.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped in front of the inn, and a low voice came from inside the carriage, "Your Highness, have something to eat!"
The voice was very low, but Qin Yichen still heard it, 'Your Highness?' He was stunned for a moment. This ceremony did not look like the pomp of a prince or a prince! Which His Highness could it be?
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man about forty years old got out. He had three long beards and an elegant appearance. Qin Yicheng recognized him at a glance. Isn't this the Prince Consort Liu Shangshu?
He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Liu Shangshu, it's so late!"
The person who came was Liu Shu, the prince-in-law of the dynasty, who married Princess Lanling. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was a very powerful minister in the court. He glanced at Qin Yicheng and said lightly: "
Just prepare a little meal quickly."
"Yes! I understand, I understand, please let Liu Shangshu go in and rest."
Liu Shu turned around and helped a man out of the car. He was of medium build, wearing black clothes and covering his face with a black scarf. He had bright eyes and an indescribable majesty in his eyes. He glanced at Qin Yichen casually.
, actually gave Qin Yichen the urge to kneel down.
Qin Yichen hurriedly ran to prepare the meal, but secretly thought to himself, 'I wonder which highness this is, and his face is covered in black clothes.'
"Your Highness, go take a rest!" Liu Shu said respectfully.
The masked man in black nodded, followed Liu Shu into the inn, and sat down in the West Flower Hall. He and Liu Shu sat in the inner room, while the guards ate outside.
After sitting for a while, Liu Shu stood up and said, "Your Highness, sit down for a moment while I go change my clothes. I'll be back soon."
The man in black nodded, picked up the tea cup and drank tea slowly. Perhaps it was inconvenient to drink tea with his face covered, so he lifted up a corner of the face towel, but accidentally dropped it, revealing a thin and fair face. At this moment, Qin Qin
Yi Cheng came in with a plate of steaming steamed cakes. When he saw His Highness showing his true face, he was stunned for a moment.
He was so frightened that he trembled all over, "Clang!" The copper plate fell to the ground, and the steamed cakes rolled all over the floor. The man in black quickly covered his face with a towel, and turned his sharp eyes towards Qin Yicheng. Several guards sitting outside heard the sound.
He rushed in, pressed the handle of the knife, and stared fiercely at Qin Yicheng who was picking up steamed cakes on the ground.
The man in black waved his hand, "You all stand down!"
Several guards retreated, and the man in black glanced at Qin Yicheng coldly. Finally, his eyes became dull, "You didn't see anything, right!"
"Yes! Yes! The villain didn't see anything."
Qin Yichen picked up the steamed cake and went out in a panic. Liu Shu happened to come back. He looked at Qin Yichen's panicked back and asked, "What happened?"
"This Yi Cheng accidentally entered the door and tripped over the threshold." The man in black said calmly as if nothing had happened.
Liu Shu nodded and sat down. After a while, Qin Yicheng brought food again. Everyone lowered their heads to eat and quickly finished their supper.
The carriage started again. Liu Shu looked at Qin Yicheng's uneasy face from a distance through the window, and then asked the man in black suspiciously, "He really didn't find anything? Your Highness, this matter is very important, and we must not be merciful."
.”
"He really didn't see anything!"
The man in black said a little unhappy: "While my father is critically ill, you are not allowed to kill people at will. Do you hear me?"
"Yes! Your Highness, I understand."
The carriage started and sped towards the Renshou Palace shrouded in darkness. Qin Yichen breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself, "It's really strange, why is he here?"
