Da Wei Chun

Chapter 434 Chapter [-] Marriage
I don't know when, the sky is cloudy again.The black clouds rolled like ink, getting lower and lower, making people breathless.

There are almost no pedestrians on the street, and there are not even a few birds.Only the rustling wind mixed with snow particles blows by. The strange sound of "woo woo" sounded like a ghost crying.

The coachman urged the horse fast, and the carriage galloped like lightning, and ran towards the palace gate.But there were still tens of feet away from the Meridian Gate, when someone suddenly shouted: "Stop the car, get off the horse, and change the car!"

The coachman said loudly: "This is the driver of Sikong..."

"To shut up!"

When he shouted, Gao Zhao had already jumped off the carriage.

The gate of the palace is tightly closed, densely packed on the top of the city, and there are countless guards.Although there were only a dozen of them standing below the city gate, Gao Zhao's pupils shrank when he saw the man in gold-rimmed black armor standing beside the captain of the city gate.

The dark man... actually appeared in broad daylight?

What's going on?

Gao Zhao stepped forward quickly, and asked anxiously, "Where can I change cars?"

"Inside the door!"

The man in black armor had no expression on his face, not to mention his official title, as if he didn't want to say more than half a word.

Gao Zhao was startled, and quickly walked towards the ear door.

The driver was still a dark man, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Besides the driver, there were four other black-armored soldiers standing on the shaft and the rear of the car, almost as an escort.

Every time they passed a palace gate, the carriage would stop, and a soldier shouted: "This is Gao Sikong!"

Afterwards, someone lifted the curtain of the car, first took a careful look at Gao Zhao, then glanced around in the compartment, then bent down, as if he was still checking the bottom of the car.

Gao Zhao secretly heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the investigation was so strict and that he had to verify his integrity.

At least it shows that he should not be the only one entering the palace, and it is not the emperor who suddenly wanted to ask him about his crime.

It should be something big happened in the palace...

In a moment of apprehension, the carriage passed through three gates and stopped, and the soldier called again: "Please get off the carriage, Sikong!"

Someone lifted the curtain of the car, before Gao Zhao's foot landed, he first saw the Queen, Yuan Yi, Yu Zhong, Liu Fang, Cui Guang and others standing in front of the palace gate.

The queen lives in the palace, and the rest are servants, who are on duty in the Shigan Hall every day, so they came one step earlier.

Seeing Gao Zhao, she seemed to be grasping at straws, the queen called out urgently: "Uncle..."

As soon as he called out, a black-clothed soldier stopped in front of Gao Ying, and said in a cold voice, "Please silence the queen..."

As a queen, no matter how ignorant and ignorant she is, Gao Ying knows that the dark man is suddenly in front of everyone, and even she, the queen, can't open her mouth to ask about the sudden change and what it means?

The sky and the earth change color, the sun and the moon hang upside down...

She covered her mouth tightly, but she didn't dare to cry.

Gao Zhao was terrified, it took all his strength to control the trembling, and he swept across the faces of Yuan Yi and the others.

Everyone was trembling, as if mourning a concubine...

Gao Zhao's eyes darkened: It's over?

When he was about to faint, he accidentally saw Yuan Yan standing by the side of the black-clothed soldier, and Gao Zhao suddenly burst out with a bit of energy.

His eyes were as bright as lanterns, piercing Yuan Yan like a sword.

Yuan Yan's eyes rolled sharply, his teeth slightly shifted, and the corners of his mouth moved from left to right, as if shaking his head...

Not Your Majesty?

Or, His Majesty is not dead yet?
Gao Zhao's heart relaxed, and the slightest phlegm sounded from his chest, and he took two steps back.If it weren't for the armor soldier's quick eyesight and quick hands, he almost fell over.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that I should be outside Qingquan Palace at this time.

Could it be that something happened to Hu Chonghua?
It was like a shot of heart booster, just now it was like a thunderbolt, and in the blink of an eye, his face was radiant.

Gao Zhao replied hoarsely, "Thank you!"

Not long after, several carriages came to the gate of the palace, followed by Yuan Yong, Yuan Yue, Yuan Jia and You Zhao.In addition, there is also Rencheng Wang Yuancheng who has left Ding You for two years because of his mother's filial piety.

Gao Zhao raised his heart that had just been let go: If it's just that Hu Chonghua and the prince in his belly had a surprise change, why call Yuan Cheng to come?
Although Yuan Cheng was not trusted by the emperor, and he kept complaining about it, he was even more at home now.But he was one of the six assistants at the beginning of Yuan Ke's accession to the throne...

Just as he was startled and suspicious, Gao Zhao quickly raised his head when he heard the strange sound of "clucking and smacking".

The gate of the palace is open!
The black-shirted soldier waved his hand: "Everyone, please come in!"

More than a dozen soldiers in the same clothes surrounded them, protecting everyone in the middle.

It's a guard, it's more like a prison...

All the ministers remained silent, and stepped into the palace gate. As soon as they stepped through the threshold, one counted as the other, and they were all startled and shivering all over.

It's just that Chonghua's residence, Qingquan Palace is not big, covering an area of ​​only fifty or sixty paces.The sleeping palace is in the middle, and it is closer to the palace gate, so it is very clear: under the steps of the palace, suddenly there are three dead bodies.

For two consecutive days and two nights, the snow was extremely thick, and everything I saw was either black or white.But only those three big pools of bright red bloodstains are the most shocking.

There was a big hole in a monk's neck, and the rotten flesh was turned outwards, which looked like a donkey's lip.

The other monk fell to the ground, his back had been chopped off to a bloody mess, and he could actually see the viscera exposed outside the bones?
There is also a female crown, the head is still attached to the neck, but it is as soft as cotton wool, and the huge head is actually carried across the shoulders?

Seven or eight eunuchs knelt on the steps, vigorously scrubbing the steps.Strands of blood flowed down the stone steps.Looking at the dark red blood stain, and at the two monks and a nun lying on the steps, it seemed like a sharp arrow pierced through the heart, all the officials trembled.

Your Majesty...was assassinated?

Among the ten people, at least nine of them changed their faces wildly, turning pale as snow, but there were also some secretly delighted, shouting wildly that God opened their eyes.

Just like Yuan Yong, he was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was full of grief, as if his mother had died: "Your Majesty..."

"bass!"

A cold light came on, as if being grabbed by the neck, the voice stopped abruptly, and Yuan Yong's face suddenly turned white.

The tip of the knife extended by the black-shirted soldier was less than a foot away from his neck.

"Your Majesty has an order: But if there is any noise, capture and ambush on the spot. If you disobey the order and don't obey, you will be killed..."

As if frozen into an ice sculpture, Yuan Yong froze: The emperor...isn't dead?
He didn't come back to his senses until the soldier withdrew his saber and the ministers stepped up the steps, and they were about to enter the palace.

Yuan Yong lowered his voice, and hurriedly responded: "The minister obeys the order...", and then he chased after him like a ghost behind him.

There are more armored soldiers standing at the gate of the palace. Although there are also dark men in black armor, most of them are tigers.It was like an iron wall, blocking the gate of the palace tightly.

"My lords, offended!"

Yuan Yuan cupped his fists and waved his hand again, "Search!"

Immediately, dark men and Hu Ben rushed up, in groups of three, and surrounded the ministers.

Well, why are they all young children?
Taking a closer look, Gao Zhao secretly wondered: Are they all under Li Chengzhi's command?
But why was the main general replaced by Yuan Yuan and Li Chengzhi?
Thinking of the same situation outside Qingquan Palace, it seems that most of them are tigers, and Yuan Yan, who has always been close to Li Chengzhi, is the main general.

Otherwise, the tiger, which is usually like a vassal of the Habayashi, is like a shadow, and today suddenly holds a halberd, and half of the Habayashi is missing?
Looking at Yu Zhong again, his face was dark and blue, and he didn't know whether it was fear or anger.

Suspicious in his heart, he let the dark man and Huben search his body.In extreme times, no one dares to complain.Regardless of whether he is a captain or Yuan Yuan's father, isn't Yuan Jia not a bit embarrassed?

Just outside the palace gate, several people smelled a familiar smell first.Such as Queen, Gao Zhao, Liu Fang, Cui Guang, Yuan Yue and so on.

These few were either healed by Li Chengzhi, or asked Li Chengzhi for his special wound medicine, so they knew it as soon as they heard it.

Huben opened the door of the hall, and there were many people kneeling in the hall: Princess Chen Liuchang, Sima Xianzi, Jieyu Li, Hu Chonghua and other noble ladies and concubines, as well as Liu Teng, Yu Wenfu, Yuanxi and other close officials.And a group of guards, medical officers...

The emperor leaned on the couch and looked at everyone lazily.The quilt is wrapped around the body, and the injury cannot be seen.It's just that his face is a little sallow, and he doesn't know if he's bleeding too much or he's scared.

Only Wang Xian stood by, holding a bowl of wine in his hand, as if he was waiting for the emperor to drink it.

Afterwards, Xu Jian took his nephew and disciples and seemed to be treating someone. The sharp-eyed man had already guessed from the attire and body shape that it should be Li Chengzhi...

Gao Ying was killed by lightning.

It was this hand that healed her wounds, applied medicine to her, stroked every inch of her body, and slapped her hard.

But at this time, it was limply drooping under the desk, like a dead person...

The queen felt a pain in her heart, as if a sharp knife had been inserted into it.Every picture related to Li Chengzhi appeared in my mind like a horse watching a lantern:
Protect her behind her, block the knife with her body...

Cut her sores, suck pus, apply medicine...

She denounced Hu Chonghua twice for her, broke his tricks, and defended her in every possible way...

Gao Zhao was so angry that he wanted to tear her into pieces, Li Chengzhi protected her behind him again...

She never knew that Li Chengzhi held such a heavy weight in her heart.Obviously only sex is better, but it is unforgettable... Is it just because you saved me twice?

Unknowingly, Yuan Ke has become a symbol in her heart, but Li Chengzhi has become a pillar?

What should I do if you die?
The pain in my heart was excruciating, the blood surged up, my mind was empty, and the queen fell straight backwards like a broken pillar.

Gao Zhao hastened to support her, and saw the queen's eyes wide open, tears gushing out like spring water.His eyes were red, his teeth were clenched tightly, and blood was already visible under his lips.

His Majesty is not dead yet, why are you doing this... Just as a thought occurred to him, when he saw the Queen's lips moving slightly, as if Li Chengzhi's name was being read, Gao Zhao's face changed drastically, and his heart jumped into his throat.

It's crazy...

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Gao Zhao shouted twice, pinched Gao Ying's finger fiercely, and shouted anxiously in her ear: "Your Majesty is safe and sound, why are you scaring yourself?"

Is it because of His Majesty?

Feeling the tingling pain from her fingertips, Gao Ying smiled miserably: Yes, my uncle is reminding myself: Yuan Ke is my husband...

Even if he abandons himself like trash and hates him like shit?

Even if he allowed Hu Chonghua to murder and frame him as the queen, he turned a blind eye and shielded her in every possible way?

husband?

hehehe...

Seeing that Li Chengzhi's eyes were closed tightly, Gao Ying cried out in pain, "Your Majesty..."

Like a cuckoo spitting blood, it hurts deeply.

Yuan Ke was moved by it, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Hu Chonghua was about to fly away, and glanced down again.

The face that was originally extremely glamorous is almost distorted at this moment.Hu Chonghua's eyes were like arrows, staring at the queen coldly, his face full of viciousness.

Looking at the Empress again, she was distraught, weeping uncontrollably, she seemed to be unable to stand still, and she was judged...

The emperor beckoned,

Looking at Gao Ying who was supported by Gao Zhao in front of the couch, and then at the pair of blood-filled phoenix eyes, the emperor secretly sighed: at least he is not acting.

And like Hu Chonghua, who knows how to cry, but can't even squeeze out half a tear, which is extremely ridiculous...

Yuan Ke grabbed Gao Ying's hand, and said with a warm smile, "Don't cry, isn't I alright?"

It's okay not to persuade, but once persuaded, the queen cried even more.Choking with sobs, he asked, "Your Majesty...how could this be?"

The emperor smiled wryly and said, "I came here to listen to the lectures of the eminent monks of the White Horse Temple, but who would have guessed that assassins were among them..."

The assassins were among the monks... These monks were not invited by Hu Chonghua?
Old and new grudges rushed into her heart together, Gao Ying rushed to Hu Chonghua like crazy: "Bitch, I killed you alone..."

The empress made a sudden attack, she didn't notice for a while, and Gao Zhao who was beside her didn't have time to stop her.

Seeing Gao Ying's face full of murderous looks, Hu Chonghua's frightened face turned pale, and he lost his mind.But the general rushed down the steps of the palace, as if emerging from the ground, several black shadows rushed out "whoosh", and formed a human wall, blocking the Queen's way.

The dark man neither dared to push, nor dared to hug, so he could only let the queen bump into him. With a bang, the queen fell to the ground.When he got up again, Hu Chonghua had already been helped into the cabinet by Gong'e...

Why is the lonely life so bitter?
"Wow", Gao Ying cried like a child.

In the past, the emperor was already impatient when he saw the queen screaming and crying.But at this moment, there was a faint warmth in his heart.

If it wasn't for the queen's concern for me, how could she lose her composure in front of all the ministers?
Just about to be relieved, the queen seemed to stop crying.He got up again in embarrassment, and stumbled back to the front of the collapse.

"Your Majesty, it's my concubine's disrespect..."

"Knowing that you miss me, how can I blame you?"

The emperor sighed leisurely, and thought of the queen's kindness again: Although she is a bit willful, she has a true temperament, which is more than that of Hu Chonghua.

It's a pity, why isn't the queen pregnant with the prince?

With emotion, seeing Gao Zhao looking left and right, looking at his face from time to time, and then glanced to one side, Yuan Ke replied in a warm voice: "I am fine for the time being, and Li Chengzhi was poisoned by arrows, but the poison is not deep. And if the treatment is timely, it should be fine..."

Gao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.But I don't know if there is an auditory hallucination, Yuan Ke seems to have heard an echo.

But when she looked back, everything was as usual, and the queen was still crying.

Gao Zhao's frightened soul almost flew out, he hurriedly raised his voice, and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty... what should I do?"

"Let's step down now, listen to my decree! Ying'er goes down too..."

The two retreated as they said, and knelt down under the steps.The emperor gave Liu Teng another drink, and the old eunuch got up quickly, spread paper and ink on the emperor's side, and acted as a temporary secretary.

The emperor sighed slightly: "I have inherited the precious calendar, and I have been suffering from hardships and guilt. I have been in power for eleven years, and the righteous cooperation is only new. Every day, every hour, every moment, I am trembling, like walking on thin ice, fearing that I will live up to the emperor's expectations...

Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I must ask myself: Is my personal administration diligent and fair?Whether there is a vertical system of entrepreneurship, Anmin Lihua.Whether there are three rites of Zhaoxuan and four arts of Chongming.Whether there is Renxian Mingzhi, Xuanfeng praises the work.Is there anyone in the world who has heard of the wind and is naturalized, and is there any people in the frontier fortress who are willing to surrender...

Looking at it at this time, I have been inheriting the history and inheriting the sky for eleven years now.There are too many political punishments, and the virtues are not enough, and the lesson is not far away.Taoism is ashamed of the common people, enlightenment is ashamed of the criminal law... really ashamed of the ancestors..."

The faces of all the ministers in the hall turned pale with astonishment: The emperor's intention is clearly to leave a legacy?

Didn't he just say to Gao Zhao: "I'm fine for the time being?"

Yuan Ke paused for a while, then swept across the faces of the people below the steps one by one, and said in a leisurely voice: "I have been weak since I was a child. , can still linger on for a few years, who would have thought that disasters would come from the sky, and there would be great changes...

In order to prevent accidents, I have left a will, which is placed in the third hall of the forbidden middle hall and the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and secretary.If there is an emergency, you can ask for an imperial edict and court to make it known to the world..."

It was Yuan Yong again, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty..."

"I can't die for the time being... don't make any noise, it's annoying me..."

Yuan Ke waved his hand impatiently, "Today, the court affairs will be taken by seven people including Sangong, front, left, and right servants, and Ren Chengwang. They will be played in the table every day for my reading. But there are If you are undecided, you can go inside and discuss it with me, and then make a decision... The rest need to assist with all your heart..."

All the ministers respectfully said that they obeyed the order, but they had different thoughts.

In case of a sudden change, it is a rule for the Sangong to temporarily take charge of government affairs.It is not surprising to add more front, left, and right servants.After all, Liu Fang and Cui Guangxian are well-known, and the world is full of peaches and plums.You Zhao is the emperor's teacher, the emperor's confidant, and a great Confucian in the world, with a reputation for loyalty and loyalty.

But with the addition of Yuan Cheng, who has never been liked, it is very intriguing to exclude Liu Teng, the internal servant among the four servants.

And the auxiliary ministers are odd?

unprecedented...

Yuan Yong's intestines are green with regret, but he still can't complain.

If he had known today, he shouldn't have handed over the position of Taiwei to others...

While feeling annoyed, he heard the emperor say again: "Today, all affairs of the harem will be handed over to the queen, and Liu Teng will no longer be acting temporarily. There are also several appointments and dismissals, which will be announced immediately:

Today's changes are all due to lax palace confinement and lax inspection of imperial guards.Yu Zhongwei Weiqing and the leader of the army were immediately removed, and Yuan Yi and Gao Zhao took their place temporarily.

Deprive Zuowei General Yu Wenfu and Wuwei General Yuanxi of their titles, and hand them over to the third division for trial... In addition, Yuan Yuan was promoted to General Zuowei, and Yuan Yan was promoted to General Huben Zhonglang..."

Yuan Jia was overjoyed: Is it true that people sit at home and officials come from heaven?
The position of Taiwei is like this, but what about the position of the eldest son, General Zuowei?

Not surprisingly, it must have been in the light of Li Chengzhi...

Gao Zhao was also overjoyed: In an extraordinary time, not only did the emperor still trust him, but he also granted him the post of internal guard that he had never touched before?
Yuan Yi had mixed joys and sorrows: he had never had military talent, and the emperor ordered him to serve as a Weiwei, naturally to check and balance Gao Zhao.But the problem is that Gao Zhao was already in charge of the Chinese army, and now that he is added as the leader, wouldn't the military power be more important?

Besides, one can tell from a glance that it was Li Chengzhi who sacrificed his life to save His Majesty today, otherwise the emperor wouldn't suddenly promote Hu Ben's Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yan and others who were close to Li Chengzhi?

The vacant post of General Lang due to the sudden relocation of the Yuan Dynasty is almost always reserved for Li Chengzhi...

It is conceivable that Li Chengzhi will be more trusted by the emperor in the future.With Gao Zhao's help, wouldn't he be like a tiger with even more wings?
While guessing, the emperor waved his hand again: "Three gentlemen stay here for a while, and the rest leave..."

It is guessed that the emperor should have given these four other explanations, and maybe the meeting will discuss matters related to the country, such as compilation (inheritance).All the people in the hall were either suspicious or unwilling, but they all retired respectfully.

Sure enough, when all the people left, the emperor swung back to the left and right, and said bluntly: "I know very well that today's matter cannot be kept secret for a long time, otherwise it will surely cause disaster, so I urgently called you into the palace. I am afraid that you will become suspicious. Simply stated:
If the Hu family gave birth to a son, he would be the one to compile and control the Baoli.If it is safe, it will be chosen from among Zong's children to inherit.I have established my affiliation, and it is all contained in the imperial edict, so don't criticize me anymore..."

How dare you ask nonsense about such a thing?

The three of them said they didn't dare.

As soon as the conversation turned, the emperor smiled again, looked at Yuan Jia and said, "There is a happy event, I wonder if the Taiwei is willing to accept it or not?"

This turn was too fast, almost breaking Yuan Jia's waist.

"But there is an order, the old minister dare not refuse, please show your Majesty!"

Responding in his mouth, Yuan Jia's thoughts turned quickly: Could it be that the emperor wants to give Yuan Yuan a marriage?
Yuan Ke pondered and said: "Now there is a female Wenjun of the Gao family who has been in the palace for seven years. She works hard and fulfills her duties. I think of her loyalty and want to marry her and give her the surname Yuan. I don't know if I can ask the Taiwei to accept her as a concubine." ..."

The three raised their heads abruptly.

Gao Zhao's face turned pale at first, and then turned red.His face was full of anger, and his eyebrows were raised.

It wasn't Yuan Ke who was angry, but Li Chengzhi.

The emperor wants to give Gao Wenjun a marriage, can he give it to others?

And with such great honor, why do you still want to give the surname Yuan?
It's nonsense to think of Gao Wenjun's loyalty. This is clearly the indirect award of honor to Li Chengzhi.

But since Gao Wenjun is already a princess, how can he give Li Chengzhi a concubine?
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wei were also engaged, and they were about to marry Mrs. Zhang. The emperor could not do such absurd acts as forcing her to repent of the marriage.Then there is only one possibility: the two are equal wives, right?
Except for Jia Chong in the Jin Dynasty, there is no old rule to follow.There is also no precedent for the honor of a princess to serve a husband with others, how could the emperor easily agree?
This is clearly obtained by Li Chengzhi's efforts to rescue him...

But for the merit of being a duke, you actually exchanged it for a flat wife?
Gao Zhao had no choice but to drag Li Chengzhi out and beat him up...

Yuan Yi's face was full of joy.

Just now I thought that Li Chengzhi would be reused, so Gao Zhao would be even more powerful.In the blink of an eye, the emperor actually had countermeasures?

Your majesty is wise!

Yuan Jia's eyes shone brightly, and he nodded with a smile: "How can I not accept such a happy event?"

Does it mean that Yuan Jia has an extra son-in-law who is trusted by His Majesty for no reason?

Moreover, Li Chengzhi and Yuan Yuan are congenial and complement each other, and they will definitely help each other in the future...

Isn't this a great joy?
"Then do it as soon as possible!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said leisurely: "I believe that the ancestral system should not be abolished lightly. Therefore, it has been decided that if the Hu family gives birth to an heir, the old rules should be followed. What does Sikong think?

Can't be lightly discarded?

This old rule is not that old rule, definitely not the one that has been abolished by the emperor, but... But if there is a prince, the queen must be the aunt...

A flush climbed up Gao Zhao's cheeks, as if he was drunk.
