Huaigui

"I kept you on purpose, and kowtowed to beg him for you.

"I am the one who has the most position to do this, because my mother is from the Helan family, and Gao Pei thought it was to preserve the last bloodline for my cousin... He couldn't bear Helan Maojia after all, so he agreed. And I promise him, I won't do it again. Let you appear by his side. If he breaks this promise and kills you, I will not object to it.

"This is the deal between Gao Pei and me, he finally relented.

"Later, he didn't ask you again for many years. It may be that losing such a loyal minister and general as Helan Maojia was too painful, and he refused to recall it. Of course I'm not that stupid to let you out. I want you to remember the shame of 'Helan' Surname, get close to Gao Pei's son to gain trust. Until here, every step is just right, and Gao Jing also asked you to leave as I expected."

Speaking of this, Gao Hong wandered between He Lan Mingyue and Gao Jing with ambiguous eyes, and said to himself: "Good nephew, you are smart all your life, but you don't know that I deliberately asked Lu Yi to take He Lan to the place where you often play ..."

Helan Mingyue suddenly became angry for no reason.

His memory of these is very thin, and he only thought that no matter how he was calculated later, the first meeting between him and Gao Jing was always innocent.Tang Liu was tall and the sun was shining brightly. The cat caught by Gao Jing that day went somewhere, and when he rushed to hug Gao Jing, he fell with him——

At that moment, He Lan Mingyue didn't think too much.

The handsome young man stretched out his hand towards him with the two red moles that could be engraved in his bones and blood, and his warm smile constituted the beam of light that Helan Mingyue first encountered.

Now Gao Hong said it was all design?

"Are you annoyed?" Gao Hong smiled, and looked at He Lanmingyue for a long time, "I humiliated you and marked you as a slave, but you didn't completely submit. I'm surprised, but not too surprised, He Lanmingyue Everyone in the Lan family is like this. But it doesn't matter, the feud between you and Gao Jing will be ignited one day, isn't it?"

Gao Jingdao: "Uncle can't control him, so you want me to kill him?"

"I asked your father to kill him." Gao Hong paused, his eyes flickered suddenly, "I don't need to do it myself, some people will not be able to sit still."

Gao Jing suddenly understood: "...it's my uncle."

"Yes, Helan Maojia is a thorn in Gao Pei's heart, and only Gao Qian can touch it. He was still young and couldn't see through the current situation. He only cared about his brother's interests." Gao Hong looked at Helan Mingyue, "He was afraid that what I said would not count, so he came to my house to recognize someone, remember? Later, when he saw you next to Gao Jing, Gao Qian naturally thought it was my arrangement. Let Gao Jing and his son turn against each other. So even if Gao Pei is reluctant, Gao Qian will let him know and try his best to persuade him to get rid of you - in the end he really ordered you to be killed, didn't he?"

The rings are intertwined, borrowing a knife to kill someone.

Helan Maojia was forced to death and deliberately kept the child because of the guilt of the emperor's anger.

After being sent to the palace, if Gao Jing can gain Gao Jing's trust and even sway Gao Jing, one day he will use his status as an orphan to pour all the dirty water of extermination on Gao Pei, with the intention of turning father and son against each other.If He Lan refused to obey his order, and put all his heart on Gao Jing, that was right in his arms, and he directly used the emperor's hand to get rid of him.

Without Helan Mingyue, who would investigate Xijun's grievances in the future?

But Gao Hong only miscalculated one trick.

"Lu Yi...hahaha! The only ones I didn't count are Zhuquewei and Lu Yi! The former is beyond his power, but Lu Yi... I thought he might not be trustworthy, but he has never How do I know about unbounded movements... Gao Qian won't let you die..."

He Lan Mingyue said: "Are you going to say that everything is planned by King Ji?"

"Scheming? You don't understand, he is the real oriole behind, good tricks and tricks!" Gao Hong stared at his fingers tightly, blood dripping from his fingers, "He wants to save you, then force you away, let You come back to take revenge yourself. By then Gao Jing has accomplished his task, and the position of the crown prince is stable. If Gao Jing cares about you, he will not leave it alone. When Helan Maojia is rehabilitated, it will be his chance to bring me down! Helan Mingyue, you say, by your own I'm not even annoyed by my brother's calculations, what are you angry about?"

Gao Jing winked, and the guards on both sides worked together to hold Gao Hong down so that he would not speak again.

With trembling shoulders, Gao Hong just smiled: "Haha, haha... Helan Mingyue, if your father can't figure out anything about me, how can you be my opponent?! Do you really think you can control everything—"

"But it's a fact that you forced King Longxi to death. You were the only one who went to Dali Temple that day." Gao Jing said without doubt, "What did you say to him?"

Hearing this, Gao Hong tried his best to raise his head to look at Gao Jing, the young man's face sank like water, as if nothing could shake him.

And is this still the domineering and arrogant Gao Jing in his memory?When did it become like this?Gao Hong was confused for a moment, could it be because he went to Saibei?

What's so special there, everyone will become unknown to him when he goes there.

Saibei Saibei Saibei...

Every time is the place where the bird doesn't shit!

Isn't it snow and desert?People's hearts are so changeable, will they be planted in the same place every time?

Gao Jing didn't know what was going on in his mind, but Gao Hong refused to say it, and deliberately said: "20 years have passed now, and only you know about it. If you don't tell me, I can't beat you into a trick, no one knows, I just made it up You must also return the innocence of King Longxi, then you will be the one who gets smeared, uncle."

"What did I say?" Gao Hong murmured, "What did I say..."

It turned out that it had been 20 years since he went to Dali Temple to see Helan Maojia for the last time.

Looking back at that time, Gao Hong frowned, and suddenly felt a little proud: Helan Maojia met him when he was dying, and Gao Pei could only stay in the bright hall, and it was useless to worry about how to save Helan Maojia like ants in a hot pot.

Compared with Gao Pei who has been competing in front of Helan Maojia for many years, he seems to have finally won once.

Although this victory is really meaningless.

And in the end, all his business operations seem to come down to one sentence... It's not interesting.

"That day... I ordered the jailer of Dali Temple in advance, and brought a dagger in, and he used it to commit suicide in the end." Gao Hong took a deep breath.

Helan Mingyue's back suddenly tightened, and Gao Hong looked at Helan Mingyue with a half-smile, as if he could see the person he had killed through those very similar eyebrows.

He Lan's eyes were red: "You...you forced him to commit suicide..."

Gao Hong's throat choked: "Really? Maybe. I know he will die anyway, and he will definitely choose to sacrifice himself. We grew up together, Gao Pei and I both know him."

"I told him that Gao Pei couldn't keep him. Naturally, he was very excited and said, 'I didn't rebel in the first place, so how can I keep him safe? And when those lieutenants come out to confront each other, the truth will be revealed to the world immediately!' I said: "Mei Gong committed suicide." He suddenly understood, but he still didn't know that Mei Gong was my pawn, and said: "How could he commit suicide... Even he always wants to find out the murderer behind the scenes, are you not doing enough to guard him?" ?' I said: 'Murong will not let him live.'

"I, the Murong family... and Murong Xun, have already discussed to take this opportunity to completely take the Western Army into their pockets, but unexpectedly something went wrong and let Li Ciyuan go.

"Now that I say this, and the fact that the Yuan family has backed down, Helan Maojia immediately believed it, thinking that everything was controlled by the Murong family, and said: 'Your Majesty will preside over the trial.'

"What I was waiting for was his words! I immediately said: 'Gao Pei wants to kill you, otherwise the minister's heart will be confused.' Of course Helan Maojia wouldn't believe it. I didn't wait for him to ask, and said: 'Otherwise you think I will do it now What? Your family members were stopped in Yinzhou, and they will escort your sister-in-law and Mingyue to Beijing soon...Whose territory is in Beijing, is there any way out when they come?

"What he cares about most is his wife, and you, Helan Mingyue. His heart will be messed up when he mentions you." Gao Hong said with a grin, "I know, the harder the knife is, the more he will know that I am not lying. Him. I asked him, "If you lose yourself and the world is peaceful, do you think Gao Pei will do it?"

"Helan Maojia thought for a long time, and said: "If you hurt me alone, the world will be peaceful. Not only will your majesty do it, but I will do it too. But this is nothing more than Murong's conspiracy!"

"I said: 'What about the conspiracy? Gao Pei's arrow is on the string, and now there is only one way to keep the Helan family.'

"He already understood, and said: 'Unless I apologize first, Your Majesty may not sit together for the sake of death... Ah Hong, please help me to plead with Your Majesty! Thousands of sins need someone to bear, so I will take care of it alone. After that, Murong will no longer embarrass him. But you must make him spare Qiuniang and Mingyue. Your Majesty is impulsive, so you persuade him.

"I was even more angry when I heard him say that, he was still thinking about Gao Pei at this moment!

"He wants to be a loyal minister, a good husband and a good father, but what about him to me? He has never been a qualified elder brother. He will never tell me these words, and he will not tell me what he is going to do... …Gao Pei’s character is very clear, and he still wants to have both! It’s ridiculous, so ridiculous! After hearing this, I felt resentful, but I didn’t say anything. I took out the knife and handed it to him.

"I said: 'Don't worry, I will protect Mingyue even if I die."

After saying a word, Gao Hong looked at Helan Mingyue again, his eyes softened suddenly, and then he sharpened quickly, gritting his teeth and said: "So I keep you, to fulfill the promise to your father! I didn't promise He protects everyone, the people of the Helan clan...I wish they all died!"

"You didn't treat him very well by keeping him. You treated him as a pawn and calculated it after more than ten years." Gao Jing said coldly, "This is how you fulfilled your promise to his father."

Gao Hong said proudly: "So what? Helan Maojia got my promise that day, so he took the knife - after all, Helan Maojia is indeed a man, he cut off his fingers and wrote a blood book, and took everything under his control body, really committed suicide."

After a long silence, no one thought that the truth was so simple.

He Lan Mingyue suddenly said: "Success the treasonous traitor, protect the family, and clear away a potential threat for the monarch... Who do you think he is?"

"Hehe... He Lan Maojia, sacrificing himself for the sake of making the world come true, is so stupid, so stupid! He didn't think about why others would know it was tricky as soon as they heard it, but he was the only one who believed it immediately!"

"No." He Lan Mingyue's voice trembled, "You're not right."

Gao Hong was stunned.

He Lan Mingyue walked around the table and walked towards him step by step, finally standing in front of Gao Hong.He knelt down on one knee and looked directly into Gao Hong's eyes that were red with anger: "Father listens to you, because he still believes in you."

"..."

"He believed what you said so deeply, he didn't even think about whether you would lie to him! Even if it was the first emperor, he just wouldn't let you participate in politics after you and Ling's scandal, but he wouldn't let you come back after you fell ill. Is it? Now you just talk about how they are sorry for you, what did you do yourself?"

After Helan Mingyue finished speaking, the smile on Gao Hong's face suddenly became uglier than crying: "Is that so..."

He never thought of this layer.

Because he first thought that everyone had abandoned him.

Gao Hong wanted to laugh, but in the end he just lowered his head and missed He Lan Mingyue's gaze.People plan things, he doesn't believe that things come true, but at first he blamed all his failures on the fact that the destiny was not on his side.

Thinking about it now, it's like enlightenment: Yes, he himself doesn't take other feelings seriously, thinking that his status determines that he is the one to be paid, but he blindly criticizes others.If you don't agree with what he thinks, you should treat others better; if you say a few more words that disagree with him, you have to do it in a different way.

So everyone finally left him.

During the long silence, Helan Mingyue took a deep breath to forcefully calm down, he didn't deserve to be so angry about this person.

Everyone didn't speak anymore, only Gao Jing's fingers tapped on the table with a clear and crisp sound.He was like an outsider who was completely withdrawn. After watching the confrontation between the two, he had no thoughts at all, and he didn't care about Gao Hong's complicated emotions at this time. He just turned to the side and asked lightly: "Have you written it all down?"

The little official beside him quickly stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, without missing a word."

Gao Jing pulled back his sleeves and straightened the folds of his clothes without showing any signs of expression, and said, "I've written it down, and this matter may come to an end. But there is still one thing I still can't figure out, and I need to ask my uncle."

"Haven't you humiliated me enough?!" Gao Hong was almost hysterical.

"Helan's account has been settled, but mine has not yet." Gao Jing resumed his slow tone, "Father may be paranoid, and he sacrificed too many things because he put the country first. Ken apologizes, these are his faults. But uncle, ask yourself, since you can afford him to say 'brother emperor', can you really stay out of it?"

Gao Hong frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It seems that uncle has completely forgotten about it." Gao Jing smiled, "Let Lu Yi and the Governor of Kyoto come up."

Gao Hong was shocked when he heard Lu Yi's name, he turned his head in disbelief, and met Lu Yi's indifferent gaze.The man didn't hate him as he imagined, he just turned his head and stopped looking at him.

Even though Lu Yi hadn't been tortured, her complexion turned pale and she staggered a little when she walked.He knelt down in front of Gao Jing, his fragility made him look a little human, but he seemed to be hanging by a breath. It was really hard to believe that this person had been controlling the most important shadow guards in Gaohong's mansion before.

When some officials who had only heard of him looked at Lu Yi, they couldn't help whispering to each other.

Gao Hong sneered: "What's the use of calling them here?"

"The last time Si Tianjian conducted a big divination for one year according to the regulations, the inscription presented was not the previous twenty characters, but ten characters, 'The bright moon rises from the western mountain, Ziwei falls into the sky', uncle should remember this incident Seeing that he raised his head suddenly, Gao Jing thought to himself that Gao Hong really didn't expect to bring up the old story at this time.

"Then what's the matter? Si Tianjian is directly under the emperor, and this king can't get in."

Gao Jing actually returned to the old title, and Gao Jing laughed mockingly. It turned out that he had never won the throne in the end: "Uncle, is it interesting to be stubborn when the situation is over?"

Gao Hong remained silent.

"It's a coincidence that the inscriptions were obtained from astrology in the tenth year of Jianyuan. Before that, my elder brother Gao Beichen died young and the prince of Longxi named his son 'Mingyue'. The father is suspicious by nature, and he would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let him go." After a while, you took advantage of the situation and secretly manipulated the oracle to make the emperor think that the son of the King of Longxi must be a demon with a deep root of disaster, and you still took advantage of it until later, didn't you?" Gao Jing paused, "At the time of Zhen, Father suddenly remembered the omen and wanted to kill him."

"Hehe! I can't blame this king, it was Gao Qian who reminded him."

"Yes, Mingyue is the son of King Longxi, so he looks like him, and it is impossible to change." Gao Jing hugged the cloak to make himself speak more confidently, "But who knows that the original inscriptions are not like that at all. What's right is wrong!"

At the beginning, the emperor believed in the prophecy, and the civil and military criticism of the Manchu Dynasty was not a matter of time, but now several important officials suddenly heard that there was something strange about it, and they couldn't help but stand in awe for a while.

Gao Hong said softly, "What evidence do you have?"

"The astrolabe is the evidence." Gao Jing moved his finger, and the forest merchant beside him took out the scroll and unfolded it immediately.

The complex sky is clearly stationary, but at this moment, the sky is bright and the sun is shining outside Dali Temple. Suddenly, there is a wonderful scene of moonlight flowing and stars twinkling.

And if those words were intended to reveal all the major turmoil and changes in Beining within a year, then after careful consideration, the twenty words have already fulfilled more than half of them.

Emperor Xiaowu conquered southern Chu to unify the world, so the southeast was settled.

In the past, the eldest son of the emperor died suddenly, and in the future, Ziwei changed hands, so the emperor lost his position.

In the west of the river, the old western army is full of gunpowder and smoke is King Qin.Liu Zhongcheng rises, and the Helan clan, which should have perished, once again kills the bloody road. The moon is not seen when it is snowing, but the bright moon shines on Baicheng.

Gao Hong was completely speechless.

Gao Jing analyzed in detail: "This astrolabe is a copy of Sitianjian's inscriptions. The materials used are all gifts from the imperial court and can be verified. Do you really think that only one copy of the great divination can remain in the world? Taichang Temple has It is recorded that only a simple astrolabe was presented by Si Tianjian. The emperor did not understand these and was young and careless, so he gave up. Then it is self-evident where the real astrolabe has gone. You have tampered with it, uncle? Do you think Burning the original copy, and urging my father to kill these 'disrespectful god sticks' really wiped them out? You asked Lu Yi to do this, right?"

"...Yes, I let Lu Yi go."

Gao Jing looked at Lu Yi, the man nodded slightly and said, "Return to Your Majesty, under the order of King Ji, I left a copy and the life of one of the Taoist priests, and secretly sent it outside Luoyang City for protection until Your Majesty takes the throne. King Ji called him back to the palace."

So there is "Jianyuan Years of Rewards and Hexagrams".

"What about after it's over?"

"King Yu heard the wind, fearing that it would be bad for him to prove that he was alive, so he asked Fang Huai to assassinate and then behead him."

"It's a pity, Uncle, you don't know that what he protects with his life is the copy of the astrolabe." When Gao Jing said this, he felt a little pity for his ignorance, "He told me everything and gave me everything, and he put his life and death aside."

"...Who knows if this thing is real or not!"

The governor of Kyoto who was summoned said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the body of the murder case was dug up by a farmer in the outskirts of the city half a year later. It was the humble minister who took him for an autopsy, and it was confirmed that he died of a knife wound."

Lu Yi said: "Your subordinates will know the saber wound at first sight, it is indeed Fang Huai's fault. I know his saber technique, the scar can penetrate deep into the bone and remain on it forever. If necessary, I can act it out for Your Majesty."

Gao Hong was speechless, but Gao Jing hadn't finished asking.

He rested his chin in a daze, but his words were like a knife: "I forgot, the nuns who took care of you in the past are now coming out of Yeting, they have suffered a lot of grievances... there must be a lot of things they want to say to you. "

Gao Hong didn't expect them to be found this time, his pupils shrank slightly: "What..."

"But after all, I'm a palace official, so I can't go to Dali Temple, so I had to send someone to ask questions." Gao Jing smiled, "It's funny, but when my uncle was young, he still complained about Xianjing Emperor Wen, and said it in front of his father. I'm not afraid that my father will go to sue. He is good enough to you, not only knows what's on his mind, but also sent off all the palace people who heard it according to your wishes."

"The first emperor..." Gao Hong's lips moved.

"Personal evidence and physical evidence are all there. You are dissatisfied with Emperor Wen and the establishment of the Helan family. After becoming a man, he secretly formed an alliance with the Murong family. He tampered with the astrolabe to mislead the father and the emperor, and framed the Western Army. Afterwards, he went to Dali Temple with his father behind his back to persuade Helan Maojia to commit suicide by committing the crime...the entire Helan family died unexpectedly."

Gao Jing sighed: "Uncle, luckily what you did to Mingyue didn't lead to serious consequences, so I won't expose it here." He played with the gavel, "Do you have anything else to say?"

The people in the hall burst out laughing.

He calculated his life, and the first 20 years were full of glory, but in the end he was empty-handed.

The old man is not there, and paying all the price he got has become a blood debt.

Who did he lose to?

High potential?Or Gao Jing and Helan Mingyue?

But it's too late to regret now.

The insane Gao Hong was laughing as he was dragged away by two jailers, as if he had completely lost his mind.The king of Yu who used to be drunk and lying on the knees of beauties when he was drunk and happy, and the idle royal family who didn't care about political affairs and only knew about flowers and moons, these are all painted skins carefully prepared by Gao Hong.

Gao Hong didn't lie, he just talked about the bloody incident with words, and successfully seized power 20 years later.

But now everyone knows that words and tricks can incite everything.

Why is he so crazy?

He said that as long as he ascends the throne, he doesn't care about anything and can cooperate with anyone, perhaps Gao Hong himself didn't realize that this has long been the saddest part of him.

After that day, other people were interrogated, and the night fell when He Lanmingyue walked out of Dali Temple.

Gao Jing was so tired that he propped his forehead with one hand. Seeing this, he pinched Gao Jing's shoulder and heard the man "Ouch" and pointed to the sky: "Today's stars are very beautiful."

Gao Jing looked up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

"Then I'm leaving." He Lanmingyue indicated the direction of Wu Chengdian.

"Should you go to Mingtang tonight?" Gao Jing tentatively asked him, seeing that he didn't refute immediately, he added, "In a few days it will be the Great Court Meeting, when they draft the imperial edict...no one will say anything, so you can be your companion." Come with me, okay?"

If it were some time ago, Helan Mingyue would definitely not agree.But today he heard that the past of his father's generation was like dust settled, and there would be no further disturbances. He also thought that those eternal promises had not been fulfilled, and one of the high-spirited youths died young, and the other finally passed away after being tortured by illness for more than ten years— —

The green mountains are still there, but the old friends no longer exist, no matter the promise or the friendship, in the end only the starry sky remains unchanged.

The promises have become empty words, he feels the same and pushes himself and others, and he is all disappointed.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Gao Jing asked tentatively.

Helan Mingyue woke up like a dream, and couldn't help showing him a very gentle smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
