He Shikai was stunned.
As soon as Lu Qubing said these words, even he himself was a little shaken.
But he quickly realized that doing things under orders was different from colluding with the Puppet Zhou!
He quickly looked at Gao Zhan, "Your Majesty! I have been following you for many years! How could it be that he is the traitor army of the Puppet Zhou Dynasty!! Your Majesty!!" Gao Xiaoyu hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, yes or no, as long as his residence is searched.
If you know, I will lead the troops and go!" He Shikai jumped up, "Your Majesty! How can we let him go! No, he and I have always been at odds, and he will definitely frame him up!!" Gao Rui said with a sneer:
"Then I am willing to go."
"No!"
He Shikai subconsciously looked at the important ministers of the court. At this moment, he was a little desperate. During these days, he had been following Gao Zhan and was hostile to everyone close to Gao Zhan. This led He Shikai to
North Korea and China have few allies.
He Shikai and everyone are enemies.
Whether it was Gao Che who was neutral, Gao Rui who was close to the emperor, or Lou Rui who was close to the Queen Mother, or even Queen Hu's relatives... He was close to Queen Hu, but he couldn't get along with her people.
The only person who was somewhat related was He Baren, but he was now in a difficult situation. He Baren's incident made him afraid to speak. Looking at the panicked He Shikai, Gao Zhan frowned and looked in front of him again.
of people.
The ministers looked happy.
This scourge can finally be put to death.
How many things have this idiot done over the years!
No wonder he did this, it turned out to be Wei Xiaokuan’s man!
Lu Qubing looked at the hesitant Gao Zhan and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am loyal and sincere. I swear to God that I have never had any thoughts of rebellion. I attacked the angel and contradicted Your Majesty. My crime is unpardonable. I wish
Even if I go to death, I will have no complaints. I just ask Your Majesty to put the country first! Don’t be gullible and be a gentleman!!”
He struggled to get up, and while the soldiers were stunned, he rushed out towards the pillar on the side.
Gao Zhan was shocked, and before he could speak, Gao Xiaoyu jumped out in an instant, stretched out his big hand, and barely grabbed Lu Qubing's clothes. The two fell to the ground together. Gao Xiaoyu held Lu Qubing down and said, "Lu Jun can't go yet."
Die! This matter has not been explained clearly yet! In order to punish your crime, He Shikai’s crime must be punished first!”
"He Shikai collaborates with the enemy!"
"You can search his mansion first!" "Capture Cui Ang first!"
Everyone was talking, and the hall suddenly became agitated. The original silence and uneasiness disappeared, and the atmosphere became subtle. "That's enough!"
Gao Zhan reprimanded loudly, and calm returned to the palace again.
Gao Zhan stood up slowly and said, "This matter about the bandit army is extremely important. I will go over and check it out personally. Lu Qubing will be temporarily imprisoned until the matter is found out and we will deal with it together."
After saying that, he turned around and left. The ministers saw the knight running to catch up with the emperor. The two were walking very fast. The knights quickly blocked the road. Gao Rui shouted several times, Gao Zhan
Just pretend you didn't hear it.
They just left.
For a moment, the hall became silent again. The important ministers looked at each other, their eyes becoming more and more intriguing. "Your Majesty, you want to favor He Shikai."
"Why?"
Gao Xiaoyu frowned, puzzled.
Gao Rui said coldly: "Why else? Obviously, this withholding of food and grass was not He Shikai's idea alone."
"The border soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front line?! They have repulsed Yang Zhong several times. Instead of rewarding them, they are depriving them of food and grass?!" Gao Xiaoyu looked at Lou Rui and asked loudly: "Sikong! The Queen Mother knows this.
?”
Lou Rui, who had just led his troops back to the court, said nothing and frowned.
s CulyiGat
The few imbecile among the important ministers all felt that it was a bit excessive at this moment. Even He Baren had fought in the war after all. He knew very well what it felt like to fight bloody battles on the front lines while the rear deprived of his own food and grass.
In the end, everyone's eyes were on Gao Jun, who was sitting at the front. Gao Jun had a straight face, clenched his fists, said nothing, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Ever since Gao Yan left Yecheng and went to Shuozhou, Gao Yan has become much quieter. He just immersed himself in work and did not participate in some disputes in the temple. Even when Gao Zhan wanted to send Gao Anagong to fight,
Sometimes, Gao Jun chose to remain silent.
This was not because he was timid, but because of Gao Yan's persuasion.
Gao Yan would send letters every once in a while, urging Gao never to get involved in anything when he was away, especially in front of outsiders, and never to contradict the emperor.
Doing this is not only for yourself, but also for the sake of the world. Gao Jun can only remain silent again and again.
But this time, he obviously couldn't bear it anymore.
The generals and soldiers loyal to Da Qi fought on the front line and suffered numerous casualties.
And the treacherous villain, eating, drinking and having fun in Yecheng, did not forget to hinder him and kill his own loyal people. Gao Jun stood up slowly.
The ministers looked at him one after another. The combination of identity, political achievements, and fame made Gao Jun the legitimate leader of the ministers. "The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, so we must not let them feel cold."
"Xiaoyu, you immediately lead the troops to guard the Zhucheng Pass, call Liu Shagui, ask him to question Lu Jun, draw a picture of those spies, spread out the whole city, and search with all your strength." "Wei!!"
"Prince Zhao, you sent people to collect the many crimes against He Shikai and his subordinates, and prepare to write a formal impeachment letter." "Wei."
"Run, go and arrest Cui Ang, the Minister of the Fifth Army, interrogate the specific matter, and list the officials involved in this matter along the way." "Wei!!"
Gao Jun gave a few orders, and finally he looked at Lou Rui, "Sikong, could you please follow me to see the Queen Mother." Lou Rui's brows trembled, and he lowered his head slowly, "Wei."
Of course, Your Majesty can forcefully end the court meeting, roughly protect He Shikai, and ignore the thoughts of the ministers. But there is a price for doing so.
It doesn't mean that you can act arbitrarily just by sitting on the throne, nor that you can be completely indifferent to the officials by becoming an emperor. Especially since this emperor has just ascended the throne and has not yet had any achievements or prestige.
The emperor's actions destroyed his own prestige and broke the rules. If the emperor did not follow the rules, then these ministers would naturally follow suit. Moreover, they had no shortage of leaders. Everyone left, and Gao Yun led Lou Rui.
On the way, the two of them remained silent and did not talk to each other.
The Queen Mother is not in good health at the moment and does not easily see outsiders. However, Lou Rui and Gao Jun are obviously not outsiders.
When the two of them walked into the palace, they were blocked by the soldiers. When Lou Rui stepped forward, the soldiers did not dare to block them anymore. However, someone sneaked out to report. Gao Jun did not care, so the two of them walked in all the way.
Enter the innermost room.
The hall was filled with the smell of medicine.
Several female officials helped Empress Dowager Lou to stand up. In just one year, Empress Dowager Lou's whole appearance changed. She no longer had the heroic spirit of the past. She looked old and weak, and her eyes were cloudy and always filled with tears.
Flashing.
The sons left one by one, and the legitimate grandson could not be saved. The old lady suffered a huge blow. After Gao Yan died of illness, the little old lady couldn't afford it. Although she didn't say it, she often cried silently and groped for it.
Toys from when my sons were young.
"Meet Mother!"
Gao Jun changed his words and did not address himself as Queen Mother, and bowed to Empress Dowager Lou. Empress Dowager Lou trembled all over and said, "Get up."
Empress Dowager Lou didn't like Gao very much in the past, not because he was not good enough, but because of his mother.
Gao Jun's mother's name is Er Zhu Ying'e. Yes, Gao Jun's grandfather is the famous and ruthless person, Er Zhu Rong.
Er Zhu Ying'e was extremely favored when Gao Huan was there, and her treatment was better than that of Lou Zhaojun. Although Lou Zhaojun didn't say it explicitly, he didn't like her very much. Until the tenth year of Tianbao, Gao Yang went crazy after drinking and forcibly treated Er Zhu Ying'e rudely.
...Er Zhu Ying'e refused, so Gao Yang killed her.
After this incident, Empress Dowager Lou felt a little guilty towards Gao Jun. She persuaded Gao Yang to reinstate Gao Jun to his post. After Gao Yang's death, she promoted him and asked him to lead the government affairs. "Mother, you are ill. Logically speaking,
I shouldn't bother you with state affairs."
"It's just that Da Qi is almost destroyed at this moment, so I dare not not come."
"I came here this time, not as a grand master to record affairs as a minister, nor as a title of King of Pengcheng, but in the name of the Son of Man, to report important matters." Lou Zhaojun was a little surprised and didn't quite understand what Gao Jun meant.
Gao Jun said: "Mother, the emperor is guilty." "Ah?"
Lou Rui was startled at this moment. He looked at Gao in shock. Gao Jun said again: "I cannot criticize Your Majesty. Therefore, I came to accuse my brother." "What crime is your brother guilty of?!"
"My brother's cronies, He Shikai, forced away the wise ministers in the court and drove them to the remote lower state. They promoted the incompetent people who defected to He Shikai. The court and the countryside were already in a state of chaos with few wise men."
"He also believed He Shikai's instigation, dismissed Hu Luxian, neglected Hu Luguang, and actually replaced them with people like Gao Anagong!!" He believed the slander and forced Gao Guiyan to rebel.
Spring plowing, but there is no harvest in Jizhou!"
"He also wanted to murder Liu Taozi, the loyal general of the country and Anxi general. He captured many garrison towns, appeased the border soldiers, sent people many times to repel the Turks, and evened out the power and Shuoheng. His achievements were huge! At this moment, Yang
Zhong led the army to invade. With his weak force, he was fighting Yang Zhong and more than ten famous generals, fighting to the death! He repelled more than ten attacks by the Zhou people, leaving the Zhou people with almost no gains."
"But that's it. Brother Jingpai and Shikai want to deduct the money and supplies shipped to the frontier fortress. He wants the frontier soldiers to go hungry and empty-handed to fight against the Zhou people on foot!" "In order to kill Liu Taozi, he did not hesitate to indulge his subordinates.
I will collude with Zhou people!"
"It's sensational! The majestic king of a country colluded with the enemy to kill his own general!!"
"I tolerated it again and again, thinking that my brother would discover his fault soon, but now, I really can't endure it anymore. If Liu Taozi is defeated, who can stop him at the border?"
"Yang Zhong's army immediately captured Beishuo Beiheng, and even our homeland will be lost!"
"The border defenses are rotten, and Yang Zhong's army can march all the way to Jinyang without any hindrance. When Gao Guiyan was in power, he sent people to replace the guards along the road, but He Shikai thought that these people were Gao Guiyan's
He sent his own people to take over on the grounds of his confidants, but none of the people he sent could be used!!"
"In addition, he also blatantly raped Queen Wenxuan, drank and had fun all day long, was extravagant, had no restraint, and ignored human ethics!!"
The more Lou Zhaojun listened, the more shocked she became. When Gao finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Lou's face turned pale. She really couldn't compare the person Gao just described to her well-behaved, sunny, cheerful and gentle son.
After Lou Zhaojun became seriously ill, he always stayed in the palace and never went out, and he didn't know much about what was going on outside.
She slowly looked at Lou Rui, "Is it true?"
Lou Rui said nothing, but bowed his head to her, "Aunt."
Lou Zhaojun's expression was desperate, and Lou Rui's look had already proved Gao Jun's words. The next moment, she started crying, "Why are you telling me this?" "What else can I do?"
Gao hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager, I want to kill the national traitors and scholars, so that your Majesty will know when he has gone astray. Please come forward and issue an edict to refute the emperor and temporarily let him return to government affairs. First, protect the loyal and good, kill the villains, and repel them."
Foreign enemies, pacify the country!"
When Lou Zhaojun heard this, she quickly put away her tears. She looked at Gao Jun suspiciously, looking him up and down. Lou Rui still didn't speak.
But he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Gao Wei to succeed.
My aunt is very suspicious and extremely defensive. This statement will only make her think that Gao Jun is relying on his own power to play the Prime Minister's routine. She shouldn't say this, even if it is the truth.
Looking at Lou Zhaojun's suspicious eyes, Gao Jun's lips trembled. "The Queen Mother..."
"What I said is true." "I swear to God..."
"I understand. You go back first, Rui, and call His Majesty over." -....
"Your Majesty!! I know I was wrong!!"
"But I really didn't lie. I have been with you for many years. How could I be a bandit?"
"Go to my mansion now. If you can find any evidence, you don't need to do anything. I will commit suicide!" "Your Majesty! I am wronged!"
He Shikai knelt beside Gao Zhan and cried bitterly.
Gao Zhan stared at him, "Let me ask you, how did you know that He Bacheng colluded with Lu Qubing?! How did you know?!"
"I went to see Cui Ang that day and found He Bacheng's behavior was strange. I thought that this man had worked with Liu Taozi, so I sent someone to invite him over. But he ran away directly. I don't think he dared to run directly to him.
Shuozhou and Cheng'an are Liu Taozi's hometown. He might have gone there, so I sent people to investigate around Cheng'an. Sure enough, I found that he had gone to Cheng'an. That's why I asked you to send people to capture Lu Qubing!
"
"That's the thing. I don't know anything about spies or Zhou people!" "Your Majesty, I have followed you for so many years, and how have I ever told a lie?!"
Gao Zhan spoke again: "Shikai, you have to tell the truth. If this is related to the Zhou people, it will be different. I want to kill Liu Taozi, but I can't mix with the Zhou people. They can have
What good intentions are there? If you fall into their trap, you will be wiped out by the people of Zhou!"
He Shikai hurriedly raised his hand, "Your Majesty, I swear to God that I will never tell a lie. If I lie, let me die through random arrows! Let me die without a burial place!" Gao Zhan's face looked like this.
After he calmed down a bit, he nodded, "I believe you. It's okay if there are no Zhou people involved here."
"You will be my Zhang Liang and my Zhuge Liang in the future, but you must not panic and get involved in such dirty things."
"Wei Xiaokuan has a vicious heart. He is ten thousand times more hateful than Liu Taozi. Besides, I asked you to take away 30% of the food and grass. How could you take it all?" "I know that Liu Taozi has humiliated Your Majesty and is eager for revenge, so I
So, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"If you are short of money, I can tell you not to overdo it."
"We need to keep Liu Taozi in a state where he is about to starve to death, and let him fight Yang Zhong a few more times. If necessary, we can increase the reward for him, hang him with a false reputation, and make him fight harder.
.”
Gao Zhan's eyes rolled wildly, and he began to teach He Shikai attentively. He Shikai also made an expression of sudden realization and hurriedly said, "That's it! I have been taught! What I did was indeed inappropriate!"
Gao Zhan laughed and said a few words, then suddenly frowned, "If you haven't done these things, then this matter is the conspiracy of the officials." "Since I came to the throne, these groups have
Your appearance has changed."
"Gao Rui used to be very close to me, but now he always says some lawless things. Gao Xiaoyu and I grew up together, but he always speaks for Liu Taozi and refutes me. He also says that I am not employing people properly!"
"And Gao Guiyan, Gao Jun, Gao Yan, Duan Shao, Lou Rui, Hu Luguang... all of these people have changed." Gao Zhan looked at He Shikai aside and held his hand, "
You must never do this!"
He Shikai shed tears and said, "I will never do that. I will serve your Majesty wholeheartedly..."
Gao Zhan let out a long sigh, "The ministers will definitely attack this time. Although I am the emperor, if these thieves collude, it will be difficult for me to deal with them. What do you think we should do?"
He Shikai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Zhou army is approaching fiercely. Your Majesty should lead the troops to Jinyang, command the army, and repel the enemy. How can you stay in Yecheng? It is better to let Gao Jun, Gao Rui, Gao Xiaoyu and others stay behind.
Let them continue their work in Yecheng while we go to Jinyang to face the enemy."
"When you get to Jinyang and stay away from these traitors, Your Majesty can show off your talents. You can take the opportunity to temporarily transfer the generals who oppose you, use our people as generals, and take the opportunity to collect the soldiers of the world. With a large army, these
What else can the ministers cause to cause trouble?"
Gao Zhan frowned and stroked his beard gently, "Jinyang is too close to Liu Taozi." "Gao An's arm will never stop Liu Taozi."
"Your Majesty, Li Di was humiliated by Liu Taozi when he returned to Luo, and he is still in Yecheng... He is a famous general in the world, not inferior to Hu Luguang, Lou Rui and others. You can let him go to Si Xian and keep an eye on Shuozhou. You
Then you can leave state affairs to the ministers with peace of mind, have fun in Jinyang with peace of mind, and take advantage of the opportunity to control the army."
..... Yecheng, Lidi Mansion.
The young man hurriedly opened the door, with a look of panic on his face. He pushed open the door and broke into the house. "Father!"
"His Majesty sent someone to issue an edict, saying that he wants you to lead the troops to the frontier fortress!!"
Li Di Huiluo, who was on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes. His hair was messy, his lips were pale, and his whole body was trembling. He could hardly get up. Hearing this sentence, he was stunned for a long time.
