Da Wei Chun

Chapter 293 Cause and Effect
Tai Chi West Hall.

A burst of anger made Yuan Ke break out in a sweat.When the anger dissipated, the silk clothes were completely soaked from inside to outside.

Gong'e changed him into clean clothes and drank a few sips of iced plum soup before Yuan Ke felt a little better.

Gao Zhao stood beside him, his face was full of worry, and there was even a trace of fear hidden in the depths of his eyes.

The emperor had been weak and sick since he was a child, and it became worse after he ascended the throne. He did not know how many famous doctors he had invited, and how many soups and medicines he drank, but none of them worked. He was still sick day by day.

I don't know... How long can I last?

At that time, what should the Gao family do?

Over the years, in order to clear the way for the emperor and eliminate his doubts, he has offended too many people...

Just as he was wondering, he heard the emperor call him again: "Why don't you talk about it, uncle?"

"oh oh……"

Gao Zhao came back to his senses abruptly, and then continued: "Li Shizi pointed his spear forward and roared like thunder: Who dares to stop me? He urged his horse again, and rushed towards the Hu general. The combined enemy...In an instant, the two cavalry crisscrossed each other, General Hu's head soared into the sky..."

Hearing that although Li Shizi beheaded General Hu, he was also shot through the waist by General Hu and passed out on the horse. Yuan Ke's blood boiled with emotion, but he was also filled with regret: "A true warrior, a true hero... what a pity! "

As he spoke, he sighed again: "Although it is a novelist's words, which are extremely exaggerated, they are also full of heroism... I can't help Leopard (Gao Meng), who has such a talent and made up such a heroic story. story……"

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhao bowed down suddenly: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Ke was at a loss.

This story is well told, what kind of crime did you ask for?

"Please forgive me for the crime of deception... What I said just now is not fabricated by Bao'er, but actually happened. Earlier than Bao'er's letter, the man from Anwu County (Xi Kangsheng) had already reported to His Majesty: the story in the story Li's son is Li Chengzhi, the ancestral home who quelled the monk rebellion in Jingzhou and single-handedly beheaded Murong...

Although I don't know whether Bao'er and the man from Anwu County are exaggerating, Li Shizi is indeed brave and extraordinary. Today, he only led four personal guards, but with one against ten, half a hundred of Ruyang King's disciples and Gao Tu were routed and defeated. They were all captured..."

Yuan Ke was a little confused: No wonder when I heard this story, I felt familiar?

So it was this Li Shizi, who knocked out Yuan Yue's two teeth, was he also?
He is really a fierce general, leading only four people to defeat Yuan Yue's fifty gangs?
"It turns out that General Hu is Murong Ding, and the son of the Li family is Li...Li..."

Gao Zhao reminded: "The surname is Li and the name is Chengzhi. He is the one who started a dispute with King Ruyang today..."

It's been too long, and what Xi Kangsheng wrote in the report is almost forgotten?
Yuan Ke sighed, looked at Gao Zhao, and felt a little warmth in his heart.

In this world, uncle is the only one who knows himself best and loves him the most!
If he had told himself at that time, he would have been annoyed that Yuan Yue treated the country like a child's play, and even dared to humiliate such a loyal and brave person.Or they will anger Li Shizi, thinking that he is self-reliant and even dares to beat the prince, and he simply treats the emperor's prestige as nothing.

In extreme anger, nine times out of ten he made inappropriate disposals, which chilled the hearts of all officials.

Only at this moment can I calmly and wisely think about these joints...

After a long time, Yuan Ke sighed sadly: "Uncle has a heart!"

"The minister panicked!"

Gao Zhao bowed down again, "Your Majesty has nothing else to ask, but I hope that Your Majesty will be happy and happy every day, and be in peace of mind and in good health..."

Pleasure and joy, peace of mind and health... How is that possible?
Yuan Ke shook his head as if laughing, and knew better what Gao Zhao was worried about.

It is nothing more than a hundred years from now, someone else will liquidate the Gao family...

"Uncle, don't worry, I can survive for a few more years, at least I won't die until Ying'er gives birth to the crown prince... I have also promised Ying'er that I will not die as a mother..."

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Gao Zhao was startled, and after a long pause he realized what the emperor said in the last sentence.

"This is against the ancestral system..."

"The ancestral system is also made by man!"

Before the settlement was made, Yuan Ke didn't want to say too much, and took the initiative to change the topic: "It's funny to think about it, so Li Chengzhi was demoted two levels before he was appointed an official in the future? I don't know how Uncle Yonghuang will deal with it." of……"

Gao Zhao let out a breath, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, King Yingchuan has always been quick-witted, and he must have found a way to adapt. Otherwise, with his prudence, he would have asked Bingsheng to judge..."

Yuan Yong is cautious?

Afraid of taking responsibility...

Yuan Ke snorted secretly, and asked again: "What about Li Chengzhi, how will the selection department plan to be selected, whether it is the Weifu (Weiwei, in charge of the forbidden army), or the seven soldiers (Chinese, foreign, other, capital, cavalry, Chinese and foreign soldiers) Divided into left and right, collectively known as the Seven Soldiers.)?"

"It doesn't have to be the Weifu and the Ministry of War!"

Gao Zhao replied, "Listen to Cui Shangshu (Cui Liang, the Minister of Selected Department, Cui Guang's younger brother of Zhongshu), the rest of the departments can be used as candidates!"

Yuan Ke was stunned, and then laughed dumbfounded: Thinking of it now, both Xi Kangsheng and Gao Meng mentioned in the memorial that this Li Chengzhi can be called an all-rounder, not only good at training and fighting.

Huiye armor forging soldiers, you can choose to enter the gold department (forging metallurgy), the starting department (the Ministry of Industry), and the general supervisor.

If you are good at farming and mulberry, you can enter Tuntian (one of the 36 Caos) and the Ministry of Agriculture.

If you know geography, you can enter Yucao (one of the 36 Caos, with a map, mountains and rivers far and near).

If you can caress the people, you can enter the Left and Right Ministry of Civil Affairs (Household Department).

If you have mastered the rhythm, you can enter Taichang, Ancestral Hall, and Yicao (the Ministry of Rituals in the same category, and the system of sacrificial rituals and music in the Ancestral Temple, etc.).

Knowing how to make wine, fine food, proficient in medical skills, can enter Guanglu or Zhishi (regarding the emperor's affairs, food, clothing, medicine, etc.)...

"Ordinary people can be called talents if they are proficient in one thing, but Li Chengzhi is so good at it?"

The more Yuan Ke thought about it, the more amazed he became, "Xi Kangsheng and Bao'er's memorabilia mentioned that there is a rumor in Jingzhou that the son of the Li family has been foolish for several years, and once enlightened, he is like a god-given. Could it be so true?"

Gao Zhao's heart skipped a beat, but his face didn't show at all: "The rumors can't be trusted...the more you know, the higher your achievements are. Just like Tao Hongjing, the prime minister in the mountains, who was widely rumored to be the reincarnation of the gods in the Southern Dynasty, he was finally Lulu spent half his life doing nothing..."

Yuan Ke nodded subconsciously.

That Tao Hongjing knew a lot more than this Li Shizi, but in the end, he didn't see a few meritorious deeds that were beneficial to the country and society.

After pondering for a while, he said again: "Such a talented person still needs to do his best. But too much research is bound to be miscellaneous and not perfect. It's better to specialize in one..."

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhao knew that the emperor still wanted Li Chengzhi to enter the Weifu or the Ministry of War.

The Yuan and Wei dynasties were to come to the world immediately, and the Central Plains had not yet been completely restored, and the southern land was still in the hands of the Daoyi (Southern Dynasty), so the royal family and the imperial court naturally attached the most importance to military affairs.

But Gao Zhao has his own plan.

"Looking at his battle with Murong Ding, and today's dispute with King Ruyang, this son's stamina can be seen. As the saying goes, it is easy to break after a while. If you are selected into various departments, let him work hard, and then enter the military department. Not too late!"

Yuan Ke pondered for a while, then nodded again: "That's fine, uncle, let's look at the arrangement..."

As he said that, he remembered the matter between Li Chengzhi and Gao Wenjun again, and asked with a smile: "Ying'er complained several times, saying that Sanniang almost made her ears callused, and she begged her when she saw her... I don't know How does uncle think about it?"

Gao Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Everything is good, but the family background is too low!"

Hearing Gao Zhao's words, he knew that he was a little tempted, otherwise, how could he not restrain Gao Wenjun and let her pester the queen?

Yuan Ke didn't point it out, just smiled and said: "If you are really a genius, you might not be able to become the second Li Chong..."

"Li Chong?"

I don't know that Gao Zhao was laughing at Li Chong as a lucky minister, which made the Li family of Longxi suddenly enter the list of high-ranking families.Still insinuating that Li Chengzhi is far behind, with a sneer on his face.He was about to speak when he heard someone calling His Highness outside the hall, so he subconsciously stopped.

With a burst of fragrant wind, Gao Ying floated into the hall like a butterfly, her face was full of worry.

"If Uncle Yonghuang hadn't reminded me, my concubine wouldn't have known that His Majesty was angry again? Uncle didn't even say to send someone to inform my niece..."

What's the use of informing you, it can only be delayed for a while.

Gao Zhao stood up and bowed: "Your minister is guilty!"

Yuan Ke got up himself, and sat down holding Gao Ying's hand: "It's not my uncle's fault, it's my orders not to let it out..."

Gao Ying was a little guilty, and looked at Gao Zhao apologetically: "I blamed my uncle!"

"Your Highness is serious!"

Seeing the tenderness in the emperor's eyes, Gao Zhao said knowingly, "Resign!"

After politely refusing the two to see him off, and not letting Huang Men accompany him, Gao Zhao left the palace alone.

It was the middle of the day, when the sun was at its most poisonous, but Gao Zhao couldn't feel any warmth, and his whole body was icy cold.

Not to mention the clothes, every time you take a step, there will be a soft "puchi" sound from the boots.

This is the cold sweat that came out of fright when meeting Yuan Kezuo.

Even the emperor himself knows that it won't be a few years...

What about Gao?

He looked up at the sun, and silently recited the oracle words of alchemist Geng Yan when he was dying:
Died young, and his children are lonely... This is Yuan Ke.

The child was born and the mother died, and died before the horn... This is the current Empress Shun, presumably she has not yet given birth to the crown prince Yuanchang.

Then it went wrong, and ended in regret... This is the third younger brother Yuan Yu.

No children, no dependents, lonely old man in the deep palace... This is Gao Ying.

There is no place to bury you when you are on the stage... This is Gao Zhao.

Of the five inscriptions, two have been fulfilled: the second year after Geng Yan's death, Empress Shun gave birth to Prince Chang, who died suddenly a year later, and another year later, Prince Changyao died...

Last autumn, Yuan Yu committed an offense and was forced to die by himself under the emperor's secret order. What kind of regret did he have when he died?
Now look at the present: the emperor has hidden signs of bankruptcy, but still has no sons and half daughters. Isn't this a sign of "solitary heirs"?
Gao Zhao has already concluded that these five prophecies will come true sooner or later!

I never thought that I would end up dead without a burial when I put my head on the paper?
He suddenly thought of the moment when Geng Yan spurted blood and died: he asked him why, and Geng Yan said: Sacrifice!

Over the years, I have always thought that Geng Yan was reminding me: instead of dying without a burial, it is better to make a mark with death, at least the whole body can be killed, and the family can be preserved.

Until the moment when he received Gao Meng's secret letter: Li Chengzhi from Jingzhou had been foolish for several years, and once he became wise, his wisdom was like a gift from heaven, and all kinds of monsters, as the saying goes: My fate is up to me...

I can't control my fate... I can't control my destiny?

Neither the current emperor nor the contemporary celestial master dare to say such a thing...
