"Kiding King Pengcheng hostage?"
Liu Taozi looked at the person in front of him, and Tian Zili hurriedly said: "Brother, that's exactly what it is."
"They will never lie."
Liu Taozi nodded and ordered the bandit to go and rest. Tian Zili frowned and analyzed: "Brother, this is not to kidnap King Pengcheng to raise an army, this is clearly to murder King Pengcheng."
"King Pengcheng is a strong man, how can he be kidnapped by others? If someone can really send the thieves to King Pengcheng's house, then King Pengcheng will only die."
"Is it Gao Zhan??"
Liu Taozi said: "King Pengcheng has offended many people."
Tian Zili hesitated for a moment and then said, "Brother, actually, this may not be a bad thing."
"Nowadays, most of the people in the temple are just drunkards and have no talent. Only King Pengcheng has a long-term vision, is decisive in doing things, and has a high reputation. Moreover, he is still very young. This man is dedicated to the temple. Previously, Hu Lvxian suddenly took office.
, also because of his advice.”
"Bao Xian is a Han general, and Hu Luxian is related to you. Both of them are capable generals and can help the general to resist the enemy. However, they cannot get close to you openly."
"This person's administration is extremely powerful!"
"There is such a person in the temple. If we want to cause trouble in the future, I'm afraid it will not be easy."
"Whether it is Gao Zhan or other nobles, killing him will be digging up the foundation stone of the temple. It will be beneficial to us."
Tian Zili looked at it from the perspective of his brother's revolt. From this perspective, the more talented those capable ministers and generals who were loyal to the temple, the more disadvantageous they were.
The fierce generals are actually fine, but the ministers like King Pengcheng are really difficult to deal with.
This is a bit like Wei Xiaokuan's feeling when he looks at Liu Taozi. There is such a person among the enemies and he must be eliminated!
Liu Taozi looked at him slowly, "It is not my wish to be king and dominate."
"The King of Pengcheng is a master of world affairs, decisive in making decisions, no matter how big or small, and he is sensitive to emotions. The most rare thing is that he cherishes the people's strength, is considerate of the people's sentiments, is kind and kind, and does good governance."
"Since he came to power, he has promoted many virtuous people, reissued the order to equalize land, and saved many people. How can such a benevolent person not save them?"
Tian Zili wanted to say something, pursed his lips, and could only give up.
"Brother, even if we want to save him, how can we save him?"
"This man and his brother have never met before. Even if we send someone to remind him, we may not be willing to believe it. Besides, this happened more than fifty days ago. We don't know whether he is dead or alive now!"
"Hurry up and hurry up."
Liu Taozi motioned to Tian Zili to get some paper and pen and wrote a few sentences.
"You also write a letter to the old brothers in Cheng'an, asking them to take advantage of the situation, but not to cause harm."
Tian Zili was still a little helpless, "Brother, is it too late??"
"Do your best."
Jinyang, Jinyang Palace.
The palace was pitch dark, and there were soldiers holding torches standing everywhere, barely able to illuminate the empty hall.
The wooden pillars in the hall were hung with various magic tools used by witchcraft. They were bright and looked even more terrifying under the candlelight.
King Pengcheng walked into the palace, looked at this familiar scene, and was stunned for a moment, frowned, and continued walking forward.
If you get closer, you can see people in the distance.
In the shadows, Gao Yan was lying on the bed. He was unkempt, his whole body was too thin, and his eyes were bloodshot. Under the candlelight, half of his face was distorted and shaking. He was grinning and was lowering his voice.
He was saying something in a very fast and murky voice.
For some reason, Gao Jun suddenly felt a little creepy.
He walked up to Gao Yan and saluted Gao Yan.
"His Majesty."
Gao Yan looked at him suddenly, his eyes were extra vigilant, and he looked at Gao Jun in front of him fiercely. He stared at Gao Jun for a long time, as if he was sure of something.
"Brother? Is that you?"
Gao Jun saluted again, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you treat yourself like a brother?"
"Brother, come here quickly, come here quickly."
Gao Jun walked to Gao Yan's side. Gao Yan struggled to sit up and quickly held his hand, "It's really you."
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"I"
Gao Yan opened his mouth and said excitedly: "I can't tell the difference anymore. I know they are fake, but when they hit me, I can feel the pain!"
"They can still push me down. Is it really a lie?"
"I don't know what to do"
"Brother, please help me!"
Gao Jun looked at him blankly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Gao Yan looked at him for a moment and then calmed down. He sat back in his seat and his expression was not as urgent as before, "There are no outsiders here, so I treat him as my elder brother. Brother is here this time, and there are
What's up?"
Gao Jun then took out the watch from his sleeve and handed it to him.
"At the beginning, Emperor Wenxuan ordered the compilation of "Lin Zhi Xing Ge", and it is still being added, but it has not been written down. The world does not follow the law when making prison sentences. It is called reform and carried out in succession. I think it is really inappropriate. I hope your majesty can allow it and choose
The ministers who are familiar with the law came to complete this matter and corrected the "Lin Zhi Xing Ge" into the "Da Qi Law", so that the world would have a basis for the execution of prisons and prevent it from being chaotic."
"I think that Dali Qing Feng Shu, Pu She Wei Shou, Shangshu Yang Xiuzhi and others can complete this matter."
Gao Yan spoke in detail, and Gao Yan listened very seriously, nodding his head from time to time.
After Gao Yan finished speaking, Gao Yan waved his hand and said, "This matter is entirely up to you. There is no need to play any more."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gao Jun said again: "I am going to Yecheng."
Gao Yan's face became a little ferocious at that moment, but he calmed down again, "Why are you going to Yecheng?"
"Your Majesty, with the current order to equalize land, Jinyang is progressing at a rapid pace, but there is a lot of neglect in Yecheng. I would like to go to Yecheng to supervise the completion and find out the truth. In addition, the Queen Mother is feeling quite unwell, and I would like to go and see her."
“What’s wrong with mother??”
Gao Yan firmly held Gao Yin's hand.
Gao Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Queen Mother found a witch. After checking the situation for her, the witch asked her to change her surname to Shi to ensure her safety. After she changed her surname, her health became much better. Your Majesty is so tired.
If it is difficult to go, I would like to go and see you on your behalf."
Gao Yan sighed, "It's all my fault."
Gao Jun did not speak.
Gao Yan suddenly said: "Zhan and you are not very close. Besides, with this land equalization and property grabbing, no matter how noble or powerful the family is, everyone hates you to the bone. I think it is best for your brother to stay in Jinyang instead of going out in Jinyang."
, they don’t dare to do anything, if they leave Jinyang, I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
Gao Jun had a straight face and was extremely solemn, "How can we govern the world if we can't go out of Jinyang?"
"If something can't be done in Yecheng, other places won't be able to do it either. Only Yecheng can do it first, and then other places can be ordered to follow suit."
"I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about your safety."
Gao Jun said calmly: "It's a major event in the world, why should we fear danger?"
Gao Yan was immediately speechless. He sighed, nodded, and agreed.
Just when Gao Yan was about to stand up and say goodbye, Gao Yan suddenly asked: "Brother, I have a family matter that I want to ask you."
Gao Jun suddenly stopped and looked at him.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Gao Zhan or the prince, who is more suitable to succeed me?"
Hearing this question, Gao Jun frowned, but Gao Yan said: "Brother, please tell me. Most others are afraid and dare not answer. I know that my brother is upright and will not lie."
Gao Jun said: "Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, there have been many turmoils. The prince is not yet ten years old. If he succeeds to the throne, the important ministers will be in charge of power, the generals will control the military, and the princes will raise troops to cause chaos, then the Qi Dynasty will be in danger."
"The possible misconduct of King Changguang may have saved Da Qi from civil war."
Gao Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "You are not even willing to help the prince?"
Gao Jun saluted again, "I made a mistake, please punish me."
Gao Yan shook his head, "Go. Just go."
"I cannot punish people because they tell the truth. Brother, when you see my mother, please tell me that I have already sinned and I just want to see her again."
"only."
Gao Jun walked out of the palace, and someone suddenly jumped out and looked at him with a silly smile.
Gao Jun lowered his head and looked at the little fat man in front of him.
His brows slowly wrinkled, "Yanzong! I told you, I don't need any protection! Go back to your house quickly!"
At this moment, the little fat man standing in front of him was Gao Yanzong. Now Gao Yanzong was transferred back to Jinyang and served as a general in the Chinese Army. He continued to learn the skills of marching and fighting from several elders and brothers.
After a year, he had grown a lot taller, but he was still fat. He was shorter than Gao Wei, but his waist was much larger than Gao Wei. He followed Gao Wei with a silly smile, "Uncle, brother."
As I said, someone wants to kill you, I must protect you!!"
He just squeezed into the car and the carriage swayed obviously.
Gao Jun's groom looked at the shameless fat man who forced himself into the car and shook his head helplessly, then continued driving.
Gao Jun looks handsome, but extremely solemn.
His appearance is actually very similar to Gao Zhan, very heroic, but he is too serious, his brows are always frowned, and you can never see him relaxed. Gao Yan is also very solemn, but occasionally he will joke with others,
He also has a smile, but Gao Wei doesn't.
He is always so cold and seems very difficult to get along with.
It is said that he was like this when he was very young. When he was just eight years old, he learned calligraphy from Dr. Han Yi. When he couldn't write well, the doctor made a joke: saying that his handwriting was not good-looking and he would not be able to be an important minister in the future.
But Gao Jun answered him: Since ancient times, important ministers have been judged on their talents and conduct. I have never heard of anyone looking at their calligraphy. Your calligraphy is very good. Why don't you become a three-gong ruler?
The doctor was immediately speechless.
Gao Yanzong was actually a little afraid of him. Among his elders, Gao Yan was the most serious and the least polite to the younger generation.
If you do something wrong and fall into the hands of other elders, you can still be forgiven. If you fall into his hands, then you will be blessed.
Looking at Gao Yanzong who was squeezing into the car, Gao Jun stared at him seriously and suddenly said: "I heard that when you were in Dingzhou, you fed pig arrows to people around you, humiliated your cronies in the city tower, and even went to kill people. This is
Really?"
Gao Yanzong was stunned and trembled all over.
"Uncle, those are the slaves I raised, and they are also criminals who should be killed. They should be killed in the first place."
"Bastard thing!"
Gao Jun reprimanded: "That's a human being, not an animal! Even an animal should not be so humiliated!"
"The slave you raised? When you treat your slave like this, don't you think about your father's affairs?"
"Whether you are marching, fighting, or governing a place, you must put people first. You have no sense of shame and have treated the left and right like this."
Gao Yanzong grimaced and said quickly: "Uncle, I know I was wrong! General Liu reprimanded me for this matter, my brother reprimanded me for this matter, and His Majesty even beat me with a hundred sticks. I already know I was wrong."
Yes, why do you need to reprimand me?"
What Gao Yanzong did in Dingzhou spread out. After Gao Yan took power, the first thing he did was to send people to Dingzhou and beat Gao Yanzong with a hundred military sticks.
After the beating, he was dismissed from his post and taken back to Jinyang.
Regarding the beating of his younger brother, Gao Changgong said: Well done.
That is to say, Gao Yanzong had rough skin and thick flesh, and was strong enough to take a hundred military sticks, but he was still jumping around. If it were a weaker one, the hundred military sticks would have gone to see Emperor Wenxuan long ago, just like Gao Shi, King of Gaoyang.
Gao Jun said: "If I don't reprimand you a few times, how can you improve?"
Gao Yanzong almost wanted to run away at this moment, but thinking of the letter his brother read to him and Liu Taozi, he gritted his teeth and said immediately: "Uncle, I was still very young when my father passed away, and no one taught me how to do it."
Because of this, I have done many ridiculous things. Please allow me to stay with you and learn some principles of benevolence and benevolence."
Gao Jun looked at Gao Yanzong in front of him again.
He was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Follow me if you want, but don't disturb me."
"only!!"
Gao Jun was extremely busy. Even when he was sitting in the car, he had a lot of documents in his hand to read. There were currently three people in power in the government and the opposition.
As the largest Han minister, Zhao Yanshen is a follower of the crowd. He is the kind of person who does things without ambiguity, but cannot make his own decision on anything. Even if it is a small matter, he will send it to Gao Jun to ask what he means.
, and then execute.
The other Gao Yan, as the fourth eldest son of the Gao family, although he is kind-hearted and cautious, his talents are not as good as those of the fifth eldest brother, Gao Yun, and probably not as good as the sixth eldest brother, Gao Yan. He obeys his younger brother Gao Yun in everything.
Fully support him in his work. Sometimes Gao Jun is too upright, so he intervenes as a good old man and forms a brotherly alliance.
Therefore, the only person who really does things is Gao Jun.
Many other ministers are not ranked in front of him.
Gao Jun first went back home, met with several ministers, and explained many things. Then he got in the car and hurried to Yecheng.
Gao Yanzong was sitting in the car, looking at the busy Gao Jun, his eyes full of fear.
He never thought that governing would be more tiring than fighting.
After following him for a few days, he had never seen him resting. He was busy when he woke up, and he was also busy before going to bed. He didn't know when he took a rest.
Looking at the paperwork in his hand, Gao Jun's frowning face became more and more twisted, as if he was about to squeeze out water.
"uncle."
Gao Yanzong finally couldn't help but speak.
He lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
"You have looked all the way. The scenery outside is so beautiful that you shouldn't miss it."
"Why don't you put down the paperwork and take a look at it?"
Gao Yanzong stuck his head out and looked at the gurgling stream in the distance, the delicate flowers, the dazzling sun, and the lush woods in the distance. He felt much more comfortable.
Gao Jun put down the documents in his hand and looked out along Gao Yanzong's line of sight.
It is the fishing season but there is no fishing boat in sight, the wasteland is covered with weeds and flowers but there are no crops in sight, the dazzling and ruthless sun may cause drought, and there are countless wild beasts that may attack passers-by at any time.
of dense forest
The sadness on Gao Jun's face seemed to deepen. He frowned, lowered his head and continued to read the documents.
After traveling for an unknown amount of time, Gao Yanzong felt a little sick and tired when they finally arrived at Yecheng.
But no one came out to greet them.
Gao Yanzong was very surprised. After reporting to the city gate officials, some officials came out to greet him.
Under the leadership of that person, they returned to Gao Jun's mansion. Gao Jun had a residence in Yecheng. The officials told them that King Changguang was extremely busy and could not find time to see them now. They would not be able to meet until tomorrow.
.
Although Gao Jun was a little helpless, he had no choice.
At night, the house was quiet.
Gao Yanzong snored and slept soundly.
"kill!!!"
There was a sudden cry of killing outside, and Gao Yanzong woke up immediately. He jumped up suddenly, pulled out his long knife, and rushed out of the house.
He ran all the way to the house where Gao Yong was.
Two groups of people were actually fighting. They were dressed exactly the same. Gao Yanzong couldn't tell whose family they were from. Several soldiers fell to the ground. Gao Yanzong saw Gao Yun not far away at a glance. Gao Yanzong roared angrily.
, immediately rushed toward his uncle, and two people raised their knives and slashed at Gao Wei.
Gao Jun closed his eyes in despair.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
In a moment, two human heads flew up. Gao Yanzong looked like a demon. He picked up another knife. Holding two swords, he stood in front of Gao Jun, slashing left and right. He was extremely powerful, and his sword screamed.
The few people who were close to Gao Yun were all chopped down by him and fell on their backs. Some people shot arrows, so Gao Yanzong picked up the corpses and blocked them in front of him, protecting Gao Yun behind him without retreating.
After a while, the lobby was filled with corpses.
Those people put away their knives and bowed to Gao Jung, "Your Majesty, we are here to protect you under orders!"
Gao Yanzong was still vigilant, but Gao Yun said slowly: "Yanzong, it's okay. If they hadn't suddenly attacked just now, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of the thieves."
Gao Jun looked at them again, "You guys hide in the backyard for now. Don't come out."
He looked outside, his face was very complicated.
"well"
"Yanzong, go back to sleep. Don't stay here anymore. Don't come out if you hear anything. If anyone asks, just say you don't know."
Gao Yanzong was shocked. He held the knife in his hand tightly, "I have promised my brother and General Liu to protect my uncle! Even if I die, I will die before my uncle! How can I avoid it?!"
"Who do I care what kind of bandit he is? I'll kill every one who comes!!"
At this moment, there was a sound of clapping outside the door.
"Well said!"
"As expected of my nephew!"
Chapter completed!
