Da Wei Chun

Chapter 458 It is the right time for the meeting
The mountain breeze blew gently, and the pine branches and cypress leaves shook slightly.The snow "rusted" and fell, as if someone was walking through the forest.

Hundreds of soldiers stood by the road and saluted silently.Li Chengzhi nodded slightly, and then looked at the two ceremonies outside the temple.

The son of heaven multiplied by six, and the older one would naturally come to the court and be called the system. There is no doubt that Gao Yingyi, who is the same as the emperor, drove.

The other chariot is only four chariots, similar in size to the chariot bestowed to Li Chengzhi by the young emperor, and non-vassals and princes are not allowed to ride it.Looking at the Qingluan flag fluttering gently, Li Chengzhi knew that this was Gao Wenjun's ceremonial vehicle.

Well, it should be called Yuan Wenjun now: Nanyang Princess Yuan Wenjun...

"Squeak..."

The temple gate was pushed open, and Gao Wenjun came out with red eyes.Seeing Li Chengzhi, she bit her lip hard, her face was extremely complicated, with worry, resentment, and pity.

I just made a special trip to Yuanjia's mansion yesterday, and I was alone with Gao Wenjun.But because he was so worried, he didn't say a few words of Wen Cun?
Forget it, let's talk about it when we come back alive...

"Go in... Elder Sister... I'm waiting for you..."

"Ok!"

Li Chengzhi nodded, with a strong smell of alcohol wafting from his nose, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look in.

With her back to him, Gao Ying sat slumped under Yuan Ke's tombstone, motionless like a sculpture.

Was drunk?
Suspicious, Li Chengzhi stepped over the threshold and entered the temple.

With a bang, the gate of the temple was gently closed by Gao Wenjun, and there were only him and Gao Ying in the temple.

Compared with the day of drinking alone, there are more oil lamps and candles in the temple. Not only are they no longer green and dim, but they are bright and majestic reflected by the bronze vessels.

Gao Ying's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were blurred. It was obvious that she was almost drunk: "You...you are here?"

Li Chengzhi hummed lightly, picked up the three sticks of incense, lit it with the oil lamp, waved his hand to extinguish the flame, and inserted it into the incense burner after three prostrations.

Curly green smoke slowly rises, strand by strand, strand by strand, like brocade silk hanging upside down.It floated for about five or six feet, and when it was about to reach the top of the temple, it seemed that a gust of wind had blown in, and the three strands of smoke suddenly flickered, forming three smoke rings the size of copper coins.

Suddenly, the smoke circle became bigger and thinner, like three jade bowls carved from sapphire, or three green lotuses blooming in a pavilion.

"He... did he appear?"

Gao Ying trembled all over, raised her hand tremblingly, and pointed at the tombstone.Jiao drives jerk, like a bowstring being plucked.There seemed to be a saw blade hidden in his throat, which was constantly pulling, and his voice was extremely hoarse: "It's him...he's here?"

Even though Li Chengzhi didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of gloom: "It's the wind... just the wind..."

"How could it be the wind?"

Gao Ying was clearly as pale as dirt just now, and Gao Ying was clearly terrified: "Just because I told him... Seeing you come in, he was extremely annoyed, clearly... clearly questioning you... ..."

Li Chengzhi froze suddenly, with mixed feelings in his heart, and his lips squirmed, but he didn't know what to say.

The ancients paid attention to death as life and death as existence, and firmly believed that the soul is immortal, so there are sacrifices and sacrifices, and they have been passed down for thousands of years without mourning.

It is not that there are people who do not believe in ghosts and gods in this era, but they are rare, very few.

Gao Ying was afraid that she would become like this, which shows how much determination and courage she must have mustered to be honest with Yuan Keling?
"You...why are you doing this?"

"Why bother? I asked you the same thing that day, and you just said it wasn't bitter... And you know how much I suffer, and how afraid I am? I'm afraid that you will never return, and I will be alone, like a shadow... …

I even thought that if that day really came, it would be better to settle it once and be completely freed... That's why I came here today to plead guilty to him..."

Gao Ying turned her head sharply and stared at Yuan Ke's tombstone, feeling terrified in her heart, but still gritted her teeth tightly: "Don't say that the first emperor really...really manifested, even if he was hacked into pieces and fried in fire under the nine springs, I also admit it... It's better than suffering and living like a year...

I know that everything is wrong, and even the slightest thought is treason, but it's like a ghost, and I can't help it... And just like what Ye Yu said in the palace, I don't dare to have extravagant hopes, and I don't ask you to treat me. I just hope... I just hope I can see you once in three or five days, and I will... I will be satisfied..."

In just a few words, Gao Ying's face was washed like water, and he was choked up and unable to speak.Afraid of crying out loud, she bit her lips tightly with her white teeth, and there was blood on her lips: "I... I just ask you to return safely... If you don't believe me, I dare to swear to the late emperor's mausoleum..."

Li Chengzhi's heart trembled "suddenly", as if a slender hand was gently hooking on the heartstrings.It's like drinking a cup of strong wine, which reaches the heart and spleen, arousing a surge of hot blood, flowing into the limbs and bones.

The stone has been covered for a long time, and it can give out some warmth, let alone the human heart?

"I said 'you think too much' that night, not in a perfunctory way. And I never had the idea of ​​'to show my will by death'...including vomiting blood and fainting when the first emperor died, and then turning gray all night. Because of the late emperor..."

Li Chengzhi looked at Yuan Ke's tombstone, then looked at Gao Ying, showing a helpless wry smile, "But let me explain everything, but no one will believe it? You don't believe it, Wen Jun doesn't believe it, Gao Zhao and Yuan Jia don't believe it either, All civil and military officials don't believe it...even my father and mother don't believe it...what can I do?"

"I do not believe!"

Gao Ying seemed to be repeating the reading, and wiped away tears vigorously, "Both the government and the public said: You treat the late emperor like a fine man, and the sun and the moon can shine. That's why you asked to lead the army and vowed to avenge the late emperor... If you don't Victory, I would rather die in battle than return to the court..."

"How can military and state affairs be so trifling, and you know how many unnecessary deaths and injuries will be caused by raising tens of thousands of troops in the cold winter of Linjiu, is it just to avenge the late emperor?

Besides, the first emperor could arrange everything carefully before his death, so why didn't he mention the matter of revenge?Just because in terms of national affairs, whether it is hatred or resentment, it is not worth mentioning...

Even if I dare to be so self-willed, how can the princes of the court be ignorant and ignorant?Just because it is imminent to send troops to suppress the rebellion, it has reached the point where it has to be sent out.

The reason why I was able to lead the army was just to adapt to the situation and meet the meeting at the right time.Indeed, as you said, there are so many capable recruits and warriors in the court, and compared with me, there are even more senior generals.

However, due to the fact that the public voted against each other, and there were many checks and balances, there were so many famous generals, but they couldn't choose a leader who could satisfy the eight assistants.

For example, Yang Dayan, because of Zhongli's defeat, was dispatched by the late emperor to Yingzhou (now Liaoning) for three years.Because of this, he caused a fire in his backyard (his wife had an affair with someone), and now he is arguing with Mrs. Pan (wife of Yang Dayan) and other sons... Who can guarantee that he has not complained to the first emperor, like Liangzhou Inspector Yuanli and Governor Cui Zuchi of Longxi are just as rebellious as they are angrily rebellious?
And because he has been subordinate to Yuanying for many years, and they have never been inseparable, if Yang Dayan wins and returns to the court, Yuanying will inevitably become powerful. This is not a blessing for the other seven assistants, you and your majesty...

Another example is Li Shao, because of the old incident of Li Fu's sons rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi was never liked by the late emperor, and was divided and excluded for many years.Because of this, the imperial court had concerns, and because Li Shao was friendly with Cui and Liu, the other six assistants did not want him to lead the army...

There are too many to enumerate: let's just look at the [-] soldiers who are good at fighting under my command, why don't you choose an army alone, such as the Weifu, Ruzhong Army, or Habayashi Tiger Ben, no matter which government, the only guard is You can become an army, but you have to piece together?
It is because of the internal friction and mutual calculation of the eight assistants.It is also the reason why I was only able to be on the stage to pay homage to the general, and was awarded the General of the Northern Conquest to the Third Division of Yitong...

Regardless of the rest, except for Yuan Cheng and Yuan Ying, my friendship with the other six assistants is extraordinary, no matter how great the credit is, at least the eight assistants will benefit from it..."

Li Chengzhi paused, and then looked at Gao Ying very seriously: "Ten thousand steps back is for the sake of more military merits, to wash away the reputation of being lucky and a sycophant, and to stand firm in the court and protect him." If you are considerate, I should also sleep day and night and work hard to be a hero.

And do you think that the oath given to you that night in the palace 'I have breath, I will keep you safe, let alone let anyone bully you' is a perfunctory word? "

Hearing this last sentence, Gao Ying's eyes suddenly shot two bright lights: "Really?"

Li Chengzhi's face was livid: "I don't believe it. Gao Sikong didn't tell you these truths?"

"Uncle is uncle, you are you, how can we generalize?"

Gao Ying grinned, but his face seemed to be washed, "If you had confessed to me like today, I would...why would I be so worried..."

If it is normal, even if I say it, I guess you will go in the left ear and out the right ear.

The reason why you believe me at this time is just because you think that I have a deep affection for Yuan Ke, and I will definitely not lie to you in front of his mausoleum.

But I dared to lie to him when he was alive, let alone dead?
But ask yourself, today's words are really not half a lie...

Li Chengzhi sighed, picked up Gao Ying's slippery brocade fur from the ground, and just wanted to put it on her, but felt it was inappropriate, so he put it in her hand:

"Let's go back earlier... The army is not stationed, but I am still marching, and I have to leave too... At least half a year, at least a year, I will definitely return. You don't have to think that I will 'reveal my will with death'" Ridiculous idea, I don't even have a wife, I haven't even had a child, how can I be willing to die?"

Gao Ying was crying, but her face was full of smiles: "Okay... I'll wait for you..."

Feeling that the words were ambiguous, Li Chengzhi opened his mouth, but couldn't think of what was wrong for a while?
Maybe it's because the three smoke rings are too weird, and I'm too sensitive?

Forget it, let her go...

"take care!"

Li Chengzhi looked at Gao Ying, then looked up at Yuan Ke's tombstone.Secretly sighed, and bowed heavily...

Pushing open the temple door, there was only Gao Wenjun outside the door, looking at him like crazy.

Gao Wenjun was the only one who accompanied Gao Ying before, and looking at Gao Ying's frightened little face pale, you don't even need to guess. When she went all out and confessed to Yuanke in front of the stele, Gao Wenjun must have been with her.What you should know, you will know naturally...

Although there was a reason for the incident, Li Chengzhi still felt guilty: "I'm sorry..."

Tears rolled out of Gao Wenjun's eyes in a "shua": "I... how can I blame you?"

If it hadn't been for the expedition, it would have been only a month or so before he would have married her... Thinking about it this way, Li Chengzhi felt even more guilty, and said as if swearing: "When I return to the court, I beg you to come through..."

Gao Wenjun gritted his teeth tightly and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

This place is not a warm place after all, Li Chengzhi can only tighten the fur collar that was loosened for her: "Let's go!"

In just two short sentences, Gao Wenjun was so moved that he couldn't even say the word "take care".

She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Li Chengzhi got on his horse and drifted away from Li Liang, becoming two phantoms.

There was a rustling sound behind him, followed by a creaking sound, Gao Ying walked out of the temple and closed the temple door.

Compared with the dead-hearted and lifeless appearance when he came here, Gao Ying seemed to be a different person, with a radiant face and a flushed face.

Gao Wenjun still had tears in his eyes, but his face was as cold as winter: "If you dare to persecute him in the future, I will fight with you..."

"My sister is sorry for you..."

Gao Ying was a little guilty, and tentatively asked cautiously, "If...if one day, he...will he be willing?"

"Gao Nuer, do I think it's because of jealousy? You're not only blind, you're also blind...Even though you persecuted...that night...but he still feels ashamed of me , otherwise why do you need to apologize to me, it shows that his affection is deep? What's more, you forgot his silver hair?"

Gao Ying felt a pain in his heart, feeling lost: The late emperor...is it because of the late emperor?
But immediately, she became happy again: If it wasn't for Li Chengzhi's emphasis on love and righteousness, why would Gu have to admit him to death, thinking that he is more reliable than Gao Zhao?

What's more, why should he be so terrified when he thinks that if something happens, he will be lonely and helpless in the future?
Just because she will never forget the appearance when Yuan Yi stabbed him with a knife, and he rushed like crazy.

At that time, the first emperor was still protected by himself, and Yuan Yi's knife stabbed him, and it was probably himself who stabbed him...

He just wanted to save the late emperor?
Believe it or not!
The relationship between a man and a woman is mysterious and mysterious, and it is wonderful, not to mention the fact that there is a physical relationship... Gao Ying does not believe that Li Chengzhi can have deep affection for Yuan Ke, can feel guilty for Gao Wenjun, and alone can be cold-blooded and ruthless to her ?

If you really had to be ruthless, you wouldn't have said so much in front of Yuan Ke's mausoleum and explained so many truths...

Although he no longer expects to be with him, at least he no longer has to worry about being harmed and no one will take revenge on him, let alone be afraid that no one will care about him when he dies...

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, but she was afraid of being seen through, so Gao Ying could only keep her face tight, and called Gao Wenjun to ride with her.

After the carriage went down the mountain, it had already reached the official road, Gao Yingcai belatedly remembered: "You were just outside the door at that time, did you ever hear him mention His Majesty (Young Emperor)?"

"You didn't remember being close to him, let alone me?"

At that time, I was overjoyed and my mind was in a daze. How could I listen so carefully?
Blushing involuntarily, Gao Ying heard Gao Wenjun recall again: "As long as I have breath, I will protect you well, let alone let people bully you... It seems that I have never mentioned Your Majesty?"

Gao Ying was taken aback: In the palace that night, he didn't seem to mention His Majesty?
That's right... Although His Majesty is the successor, he is still the son of Yuan Yi, not the blood of the late emperor.As far as personal feelings are concerned, in Li Chengzhi's mind, he is far behind the late emperor and himself...

It turned out that he never perfunctory himself from the beginning to the end, every time he spoke from the bottom of his heart?

Should have thought of...
