Chapter 209 Testing, forcing and leaving
So this Xie Zhen is actually a woman? And she is also the woman of King Lanling!
He Shikai’s eyes flashed, he secretly rubbed his hands together, and the chamberlain left the Zhaoyang Palace with the decree. Then he persuaded Gao Zhan: “Your Majesty, if you just send the chamberlain, I’m afraid I won’t be able to invite this Lan. Princess Ling, after all, you haven’t asked your chamberlain to invite her before... What if she doesn’t come and runs away again?”
“Then what do you think we should do?”
"I think we should send Han Changluan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army, and the guards of the Forbidden Army to invite them. If they resist the order, we can directly capture and punish them..."
"They are just invited to test their true identity, why use the Forbidden Army?" ? What's more, the battle of Gao Changgong Mang Mountain has made great achievements. I can't attack it with swords now, otherwise it will chill the hearts of other soldiers! "
"Your Majesty is right!" He Shi said! First, "But what if they really escape?"
"Then let Mr. Liu keep an eye on it!"
Gong Liu is Liu Taozhi!
……
Half an hour later, a chamberlain outside the Zhaoyang Palace screamed: "Prince Lanling and Princess Lanling have arrived!"
Gao Zhan then saw the two of them walking into the hall, both dressed in black.
As soon as Xiao Jinyu's figure came into view, Gao Zhan couldn't take his eyes away. He carefully looked at the outline, facial features, and height and figure.
This is also the first time that he has seen the true appearance of Princess Lanling so close. She is so beautiful that it is heart-warming and unforgettable. I felt pity for her when I saw her.
And this posture and demeanor are indeed somewhat similar to Xie Qing!
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, why did you call us here?" Xiao Jinyu asked first.
Gao Zhan then retracted his gaze, coughed slightly, and replied: "You asked me for this Taishi Ling female official, but it seems that she has not made any achievements so far? You can ask for it. "Why is this official?"
Xiao Jinyu replied: "Your Majesty, I have been calculating the celestial phenomena for a period of time. If the celestial phenomena do not show anything, I will naturally not disturb your Majesty. If there is, My wife will come to report to Your Majesty right away!”
“Oh, did you figure out anything in the end?”
“Yes, in early March this year, there will be a white rainbow shining through the sun... The star appears, indicating a national crisis!”
Gao Zhan's face changed drastically!
Gao Changgong also changed his face in surprise.
He Shikai had shouted sternly: "That's nonsense. Now under the rule of the Emperor of Qi, we have seas, rivers and rivers. There are as many strong generals as clouds, and we have just won a battle. What kind of disaster can there be?"
Turn to Gao Zhan and said,
"Your Majesty, Princess Lanling is talking nonsense. Whether this white rainbow can really appear is still a matter of speculation! Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Xiao Jinyu only smiled indifferently. : "Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll see for yourself when the time comes!"
Seeing how determined she was, Gao Zhan stopped talking. After being silent for a while, he turned his eyes to Gao Changgong.
"Chang Gong, the Puppet Zhou army is surrounded by a hundred thousand troops. You rush into the formation regardless of life and death. Aren't you afraid at all?" he asked suddenly.
Gao Changgong was suddenly shocked. What Xiao Jinyu once said to him suddenly appeared in his mind. He thought about it for a moment and felt Xiao Jinyu squeeze his hand tightly. Then he replied: "I am a citizen of this city, and I also For the sake of a confidant, we cannot bear to lose our good generals and ministers!”
“A confidant? A good general? A worthy minister?” Gao Zhan smiled and asked slightly, “Isn’t it because of your princess? ”
Gao Changgong looked slightly stunned and did not answer.
During his long forbearance, he suddenly heard Gao Zhan say: "Okay, it's okay, you can go back!"
Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Jinyu were a little surprised, and said in unison: "Yes! " Then he exited the hall.
As soon as the two left, Gao Zhan asked He Shikai: "Does Yantong think this Princess Lanling is Xie Zhen?"
"I think so, she has a similar body shape. , the temperament is also similar, and I heard that this Xie Zhen has been living in the Lanling Palace. His Majesty previously issued an order to go to the Lanling Palace to order her to enter the palace. She refused several times. It should be that she was not in the palace, but thanked her. Zhen Zhiming went to Yubi City for peace talks. "
Gao Zhan nodded, feeling that what He Shikai said made sense.
“If Xie Zhen and Princess Lanling Xiao Jinyu are the same person, then this is the only beauty in the world who combines wisdom and beauty!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“She once blocked an arrow for me!”
Gao Zhan said abruptly, with a fascinated look on his face.
"Your Majesty still wants to..."
"I do, but the relationship between the couple is very good. I have asked Gao Changgong many times, otherwise he would come. Now he has made great achievements, and I want to deal with him. It's even harder!"
He Shi opened his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, what can you do to him now? Isn't there such a thing as the Queen Mother? The best!"
"You can ask the Queen Mother to persuade them to reconcile, and then your Majesty will get her into the palace!"
Gao Zhan's eyes lit up.
"How to persuade?"
......
Empress Dowager Lou has become more and more forgetful recently. She has been in a state of confusion since she had a quarrel with her son Gao Zhan last time. Reflecting.
She thought about how she seemed to have been losing loved ones all her life and making wrong choices.
She believed that Gao Yin was too cowardly to be the leader of a country, so she gave the throne to the kind-hearted six sons Gao Yan, thinking that the kind-hearted Gao Yan could spare Gao Yin's life, but in the end Gao Yan killed her Grandson Gao Yin was killed.
Later, she gave the throne to Gao Zhan, thinking that the usually well-behaved and sensible Ninth Son would listen to the Sixth Son's advice and would not imitate his elder brother in killing his nephew. However, after he succeeded to the throne, he not only killed her two grandchildren, but also usurped them. His brother-in-law Li Zu'e.
Up to now, she has lost three biological sons, three legitimate grandchildren, and countless bastards and grandchildren.
"Queen Mother, it's time to drink the medicine!"
Wu Yu brought the medicine, and when Lou Zhaojun was about to drink it, a message came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Lou Zhaojun was very surprised. Her relationship with Jiuzi had become increasingly bad. Ever since Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he had nothing important to ask of her and would hardly come to her. What do you mean today?
After Gao Zhan entered the palace, he unexpectedly exchanged a few pleasantries, and finally got to the point and spoke frankly about the relationship between Xie Zhen and Princess Lanling.
"What are you talking about? Is this Xie Zhen pretending to be Princess Lanling? It's just nonsense. How can Chang Gong let her do this?" "Mother, I know you always care about your son and your grandson. This Princess Lanling saved your life and mine!"
"She has excellent medical skills and is extremely intelligent. Since she entered the official position under the name Xie Zhen, He has been assisting me wholeheartedly and proposed many policies for me to govern the country. He is really talented!”
“I can’t bear to let such a talent wither away, so I don’t care about her pretending to be a man. She was even allowed to continue serving as an official!”
"But I allow it, I'm afraid those nobles and the court officials will object! And..."
"Mother, do you think that the Southern Dynasty woman that Chang Gong married, his head wife, will be a rival?" Is he useless? "
"I have now appointed her as the right prime minister. With her reputation, talent, and medical skills, I am afraid that the entire Xingyang Zheng family is not as good as her."
Lou Zhaojun was dumbfounded.
"So, what do you want to say?"
Gao Zhan then said solemnly: "People with such talents should be used by me, and they should also be owned by me. Otherwise, if she helps Chang Gong become ambitious, won’t it cause trouble?”
“Mother, you don’t want me and Chang Gong to fight each other again, right?”
"You!" Lou Zhaojun's eyes widened in anger.
"So please do my mother a favor and persuade them to let go of Li. Anyway, that Xiao Jinyu has not given him an heir so far!"
"And this Princess Lanling is pretending to be Xie Zhenshi She once blocked an arrow for me, and I think she also has feelings for me. After all...
If we talk about appearance, I am not much worse than Chang Gong. If we talk about power and status, I don’t need to say more...
Mother, don’t you think so? "
After smiling for a while, Lou Zhaojun suddenly stopped smiling and said in a deep voice,
"Mother, think about it again, otherwise your son will have no choice but to Take another solution! "
After finishing speaking, Gao Zhan stood up and left. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and added:
" Give it three days at most to think about it! "
After Gao Zhan left, Lou Zhaojun was so angry that he covered his face and cried bitterly. Wu Yu comforted her for a long time.
"After talking for a long time, I still covet the beauty of the princess Chang Gong! "
"Queen Mother, if you don't persuade me, I'm afraid your Majesty will treat His Royal Highness Prince Lanling...just like His Royal Highness the King of Henan..."
Her grandson Gao Xiaoyu, King of Henan He was poisoned to death! Gao Shaode and Gao Baibai were beaten to death by him!
"Wu Yu, go and pass on my message and ask Chang Gong to come to Beigong!"
"Yes!"
......
Just returned to Lan Gao Changgong of Prince Ling's Mansion received an order from the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother missed her grandson and asked him to go to the North Palace.
Gao Changgong responded to the order and came to the Chongde Hall of the Beigong.
Seeing that Queen Mother Lou was a little depressed and her eyes were red as if she had just cried, he felt a little sorry for this elderly grandmother whose hair was gradually graying. Moreover, her grandmother seemed to be getting older and faster these days.
"Grandma!"
"Sit down quickly!"
Lou Zhaojun was very happy. He greeted and talked a lot, and even talked about the Battle of Mang Mountain!
“It is a good thing that the name of God General Chang Gong is spread far and wide, but you must also cherish your own life, and don’t do such stupid things in the future like charging into battle regardless of life and death!”
"Yes, grandma!"
"Chang Gong, grandma asks you something, you must answer truthfully!"
"Yes!"
"That Xie Zhen, today's Prime Minister Right, is she your princess Xiao Jinyu? "
Gao Changgong raised his eyes sharply and clenched his sleeves with strength.
After a while, he replied: "Yes!"
"How can you be so ignorant...let a woman participate in politics as a man? And she became the right prime minister. position!”
Facing Lou Zhaojun’s rebuke, Gao Changgong felt unwilling and said: “Grandma, Ayu is better than many men. She is no worse than men, and she has made many strategies for governing the country. , to improve the policy..."
"No matter what, she is a woman! By the way, she has been with you for so long and has nothing to do. Is there something wrong with her health? No, Chang Gong, just make peace with her! Grandma will arrange a marriage for you!"
Gao Changgong stood up suddenly, startling the maids beside him!
"Grandma, don't tell me that I don't want children in a short time. Even if Ayu really can't have children, I will not divorce her!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Chang Gong, grandma used to be How did you teach me? Don’t be too emotional. You are a descendant of my Gao family and you want to protect my Daqi territory. How can you focus on a woman?"
"But I am? I only like her as a woman, and even I can’t do anything about it!”
“You!”
“Grandma, I know it was Uncle Jiu who asked me to divorce, but this It's impossible, I can't do it!"
"Grandma, please pay more attention to your health, my grandson resigned!"
He ran away without looking back!
Lou Zhaojun looked sad and helpless!
Finally, I had to tell my confidant:
"Send someone to pay attention to their movements at all times, and let me know if there is any trouble!"
Note: This chapter is relatively short. It will have more words starting tomorrow. By the way, in history, Lou Zhaojun died of illness not long after Gao Zhan's death, but in my fictional world, the heroine is equivalent to extending her life, just to see how she will regret it when Northern Qi is destroyed. Are you involved in regime change?
