Huaigui

Within half a year, the positions of important ministers in the court seem to have undergone a major change.However, except for those who were dismissed and exiled due to conspiracy, the important positions have not changed much.

Shanheguan and Mangshan, which have experienced wars, are gradually recovering, and the red leaves of Fengxiaolin are becoming more and more gorgeous.

The new emperor recruited well-known doctors from all over the world because of King Ji's disease, but after entering the palace, in addition to taking care of King Ji's body, he also wanted to heal Gao Jing's eye disease.Among them, an ancestral barefoot doctor in Sanyin offered a folk prescription, according to which the concocted ointment was applied to the eyes every night, and the diet was adjusted, and gradually it really improved.

But Gao Qian was still unable to get up, and when Xu Xin was about to recover from his serious injuries, he still looked half dead.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. He Lanzhu wrote a letter, saying that Wan Lixia had been feeling unwell recently, and he had to return to Baicheng.But Yinzhou cannot be left unattended, and I hope that the new Longyou military governor will rush to the border as soon as possible.

Xu Xin was going to leave immediately, but once autumn was over, it would be severe winter, and the bitter cold in Saibei would not be good for her injuries.Therefore, Ding Zuo had to be temporarily transferred from Beiting to stay there for a while before the next spring.

It seems that everything is slowly on the right track.

Murong Xun was sentenced to treason, and Qiu Hou Wen executed him.However, after the Murong family arrested several key figures, the rest were all moved to the frontier for reclamation, which was a little better than exile, and they did not end up in a dead end.

This huge family that has lasted for several dynasties has been hit hard this time. Even if the grass is not wiped out, it will take several generations to recover.

As for the other masterminds, Mei Gong and Yuan Zhuoer were asked to beheaded together—Yuan Yuxin cried so much when she heard about it, she got better after being admitted to the palace and lived with Mr. Gao Le for a period of time—those who committed minor crimes would only need to confess , Most of them were dismissed or relegated, and there was no real sign of bloodshed.

The culprit, Prince Yu Gaohong, was expelled from his clan, deprived of his princely title, and sent to southern Xinjiang.

On the road in July, only [-] days later, news of Gao Hong's sudden death came when he was passing through Yaguan in the south.

At first, Gao Jing thought it was suicide, and He Lan Mingyue thought it was assassinated by someone.The Ministry of Punishment was ordered to investigate, and after layers of truth were peeled off, it was concluded that the death was not caused by trauma.It is rumored that King Yu framed the Western Army back then, and this is the place where the Western Army raised troops for the last time.

Countless souls of the Western Army who sacrificed their lives here at the beginning, if there is real retribution, it will be fulfilled this time.

There is death and there is life.

Gao Lejun gave birth to a son in early September, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons for the third day of the celebration.

The once glorious Prince Yu Mansion in the north of the city was demolished following Gao Hong's violent death.Because Gao Hong had no son, the title of "King of Yu" came to an end, and the fief was also taken back, and it was assigned to Liangzhou south of Pingcheng.

The new Longxi Prince's Mansion was built next to the old site.

The palace was not fully repaired for a while, and during this period, Wang Xian of Longxi had to be wronged and lived in Wucheng Hall.Some people in the court thought it was inappropriate, and the book was stopped before it was delivered to Zhongshu's door. Later, they couldn't explain what happened. Anyway, He Lanmingyue lived in Wucheng Palace for a long time.

The officials knew very little about Helan Mingyue's character, they always thought that this person could protect the emperor from Yinzhou to Pingcheng, no matter what, he had the temperament of a warrior, and Helan Maojia had been wronged, so he might not be easy to get along with.Unexpectedly, after trying to make friends once or twice, he realized that the prince of Longxi really didn't look like a powerful official.

He Lanmingyue did not go to court, the only thing he did was to go to the North and South Barracks, and discuss with Ran Yunyang about the military exercise.In his spare time, besides squatting in the imperial garden next to the Wucheng Hall and playing with his falcon and wolf, he also wandered around Luoyang City incognito with Yu Wenhua from Linhai Wang's family.

Speaking of this, it is unavoidable that it is an affair that people talk about.

He Lan and Yu Wen's travels were indeed concealed enough at the beginning, but one of them is handsome and the other is suave and unrestrained, and they can attract attention by themselves, let alone traveling together?At first, there were only people watching secretly, but after "Xiao Youtian" met Yuanying while drinking, he couldn't hide his identity at all.

Later, her reputation spread like wildfire, and a pair of flamboyant talents attracted the hearts of unmarried girls in Luo City, who insisted on seeing the true face of Lushan Mountain.Whenever you go out, you must throw fruit and fill the car, and the building is full of red sleeves.

Luoyang osmanthus flowers are in full bloom in autumn, and every time Helan and the moon pass by, the bouquets will be thrown all the way, and finally become a veritable "horseshoe fragrance after stepping on the flowers".

It's a pity that Luohua has intentions, but Liushui is ruthless from beginning to end.

After being smashed several times, Helan Mingyue simply didn't leave the palace, and the place to hang out was changed to around the Shoushan Jiangxiao Pavilion.

There is Yushan in the north of Jiangxiao Pavilion. Because the first emperor did not like the fragrance of flowers, all the green trees that did not bloom were planted.After Gao Jing came to power, there was a new rule, and he ordered these trees to be transplanted to the Royal Courtyard, and replaced with white plums all in one color.

The tree species in the Baimei Forest were all grown by Li Huangong in the south of the Yangtze River. After that, Gao Jingnian helped the Li family of Runzhou when he was King Qin, freed him from the shackles, removed the surveillance, and allowed him to resign.Li Huan was so grateful that he never asked about the temple again, but wrote many famous articles.

According to folk rumors, Li Huan exchanged this plum forest for the joy of mountains and rivers.

When they came to Jiangbei from the southern country and planted them all in Ziwei City, it happened to be in autumn.

The titles of senior officials in Daning are hereditary, and most of the official positions with real power are controlled by aristocratic families.Even when the first emperor was in power, the three-yearly spring and the biennial autumn, most of the poor scholars in high school were excluded by the powerful officials, and they were placed in idle positions.Therefore, it is not considered a real pursuit of talents, and it has not yet had a profound impact.

When Gaojing reopened this time, just as the Murong family tree fell and the monkeys scattered, the new emperor intended to change course.Coupled with the unification of the north and the south, many southerners who were underappreciated also wanted to take this opportunity to show their fists again in Luoyang.

In the first year of Yong'an, Chunwei had already been opened, and according to the system, the examination should take three years.Just because they didn't play their cards according to the routine, a cursory look revealed that they were all very ambitious people.Some of them are proud of their talents, or they have a well-thought-out plan. There are many celebrities from the Southern Dynasties and hermits from Daning in the past.

The topic was chosen by Gao Jing himself. Because it was too vague, many students who got the topic for the first time couldn't help frowning.

The exam lasted a total of three days, and there was no break in the middle. If the answers were completed in advance, they could leave, but no one left until the last day.

Outside the tribute courtyard near the end, Gao Jing took a micro-clothes and led Helan Mingyue to go together.

There were only a few guards beside him, and Lin Shang was driving in front, and Li Queshuang was sitting beside him.

The child who hadn't read much asked: "Your Majesty, why do you choose talents in this way?"

Gao Jing was holding a handful of melon seeds and knocking them. He looked very unseemly, but his expression was very serious: "Da Ning is the fifth generation here, and decades have passed, but there is still no decent selection system. My move , it is natural to continue the rules set by the father."

Li Queshuang said: "Didn't there be so many officials in the past?"

"That's different." Gao Jing gave him melon seeds, and said, "Most of the positions of power in the past were hereditary to the descendants of the marquis. As long as you don't make a big mistake in this position, your son and grandson will be able to be in the position in the future." Get an official position in the court. No matter how bad it is, if you go to the local area, no one dares to neglect you when you hear that you are from a famous family. When the country was founded, there were talents in the court. This arrangement is quite helpful. There are a bunch of corpses and vegetarians. Now you can't see the evils, and in another generation or two, the officials in the court can't get on the horse, can't hold a pen, military can't stabilize the country, and writing can't rule the world, so what's the use of them?"

Li Queshuang asked: "Then, can Qiu Wei and Chun Wei solve this problem?"

Gao Jing smiled: "The previous dynasty recommended talents, but later the world fell into the hands of powerful ministers and families. I heard that 300 years ago, there was a wise king who promoted talents with strategies, so I will learn from him and do things even more without class, Differences in origin. If this system can be more perfect, people who admire literature and martial arts in the world will have their own places to go, and there will naturally be a steady stream of talents."

"Aren't there many talents now?"

"There are Helan, Yuwen, and Ran Yunyang in Wu, and there are generals with strict military discipline like Ding Zuo in the local area, who are indeed not afraid of invasion. But civil servants, except for the few doctors, Hanlin, and officials from Yushitai who served the emperor when the father was there , I can't think of any young people who can be used by me." Gao Jing pressed Li Queshuang's shoulder, "You don't want to deal with the old man all day long, do you?"

Li Queshuang nodded in understanding.

Lin Shangdao: "Little Shuang'er, there used to be a 12-year-old Shangqing and a 15-year-old prime minister. You will become an adult in a few years. After seeing these students today, have you thought about your future?"

Helan Mingyue fiddled with her fingers for a moment, and then was led by Gao Jing to fill the melon seed shells. He didn't care much, and looked nervously between Li Queshuang and the forest merchant.

He knew that after the trial of Mei Gong, Li Queshuang had been depressed for a while, and at that time Lin Shang was very busy, and they also ignored Li Queshuang.

One day when he mentioned it to Gao Jing, Lin Shang listened for a while, and then went to Li Queshuang once.I don't know what they talked about, and where Lin Shang took him. Afterwards, Li Queshuang got better and was no longer tormented by various nightmares all day long.

"I don't know..." The young man stared blankly at the gate of the Gongyuan, "I think... I'd better go back to Saibei. Dad didn't stay there to the end, so I want to take his gun back."

Helan Mingyue hesitated to speak, but Gao Jing said: "This matter should be done, but it can be done with another person. Shuang'er, why don't you go to Shuyuzhai and attend lectures with Brother Cheng?"

"Me?" Li Queshuang pointed at herself, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate."

Gao Jingdao: "His current master is Liu Chen, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He is a scholar of high morals. His pen is full of flowers. He is involved in a hundred schools of thought and can comment on scriptures. Although you are the adopted son of General Zhenwei, I pity him for fighting for the country. After many years, we can always set a precedent. Besides, there are very few students in Shuyuzhai now, and it is no fun for Mr. Liu to catch Brother Sheng to teach all day long. You two are about the same age, teaching one is teaching, and one more is also teaching!"

He Lan Mingyue immediately added: "It depends on your willingness. I said before that I want to join the army, but Brother He Lan thinks that you, Shuang'er, are really not the material. You can save the country with martial arts, and serve the country with literature. Think about it."

Li Queshuang didn't like reading at first, because of Li Ciyuan's relationship, he wholeheartedly inherited his father's career.He probably knew in his heart that he couldn't do it, and now he was a little frustrated by He Lanmingyue's words, so he just glanced at Lin Shang hastily.

"How?" He Lan Mingyue asked again.

Li Queshuang didn't agree or refuse, it seemed that there was room for change.

"Feiyi will return to Saibei in spring, and she will stay there with Xie Bi for a while longer, and the military training will be handled after General Xu recovers." He Lan Mingyue emphasized, "Before that, think about what you want to do. Election, if you want to stay in the capital, then study hard with His Highness Fourth; if you want to leave, Xie Bi will not spoil you when you go to Yinzhou this time, eat, drink and train with those soldiers, don't be sloppy in the slightest."

Gao Jing patted him: "Why are you so fierce!"

He Lan Mingyue wanted to argue a few words, but Li Queshuang hurriedly nodded and said firmly, "I know, Brother He Lan, you are thinking of me, and I will definitely be serious."

While he was talking, there was a young man in white robes who came out of the Gongyuan, in his thirties, with an extraordinary demeanor.

He was the first to hand in the paper, and Gao Jing deliberately stepped forward to chat with him, but unexpectedly a fast horse ran towards Miyagi.The dust flew by, and finally stopped in front of Gao Jing's car.

Recognizing the person from Hanzhangdian, Lin Shang stood up straight unconsciously: "What's the matter?"

The man greeted him first, and then said: "Your Majesty, Prince Ji has had enough rest today, and I am asking you to go over."

Gao Jing glanced at the young man in white robe outside the tribute courtyard, he was not willing to let it go, but he knew that Gao Qian's matter could not be delayed.After a little tangled between the two sides, he said to Lin Shang: "You go to Yuan Tan, remember this person's name, and copy his answer sheet and submit it quickly. I want to read it first." After speaking, he signaled the visitor to drive back to the palace .

Outside Hanzhang Hall, when the chariot stopped, Gao Jing suddenly dared not enter the door for a moment.

He kept holding Helan Mingyue's hand tightly, and felt Gao Jing's trembling. He Lan said: "The matter between you and the prince is a family matter, and I shouldn't be involved in it. Seeing how it is now... Do you want me to accompany you in?" ?”

Gao Jing wanted to refuse, but he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

He has only experienced the death of a relative once, and that was the death of the late emperor in a snowy day that year.He was not by his side at the last moment, but Gao Jing also knew how to look back. When the late emperor held his hand, his eyes were rarely clear and his words gradually coherent. think.

The first emperor had been ill for a long time, so he was mentally prepared.Gao Qian was injured too badly this time, and it was a medicine jar, so it was expected that he couldn't get over it, but Gao Jing just didn't want to face it.

His relationship with Gao Qian since he was a child is really mediocre, not even as close as he was once with Gao Hong.But this can't stop the fear from the heart, not to mention Gao Qian helped him a lot later.To put it inappropriately, without Gao Qian, maybe he would not be able to ascend the throne again, which made Gao Jing even more reluctant to lose.

His Uncle Ji Wang is thirty-seven this year, and he is at the peak of spring and autumn, how can he accept another farewell?

Helan Mingyue's question seemed to add to the ominousness.Gao Jing felt a dull pain in his heart. He quietly endured the bloody smell in his throat. After he got better, he nodded: "You can go with me, I'm really... very scared."

"I know." He Lan Mingyue stroked his hair reassuringly.

The two got out of the car hand in hand, and when they entered Hanzhang Hall, they did not see Lu Yi outside the hall, Gao Jing's heart sank even more.

Could it be that this has also become a flashback?

The maid, Aqiu, was guarding the door. When she saw Gao Jing coming, she politely asked him to change his clothes, burn incense, and then waited for him to enter.Aqiu looked calm, so Gao Jing asked, "Is Uncle Wang okay?"

Aqiu replied softly: "My lord woke up this morning and seemed to be in better spirits. He asked Mr. Lu to take him to the porch to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus. He drank a bowl of porridge at noon and didn't eat anything. After that, he took a rest and talked. I am much more fluent. I heard that His Majesty has gone to the Tribute Court, so I asked someone to invite His Majesty to come back."

Every time she said a word, Gao Jing's heart became more and more frightened, and in the end, his hands and feet were already cold.

He Lan Mingyue held him tightly and asked Aqiu, "Did the lord say anything?"

Aqiu said: "Yes, back to King Longxi, the prince asked the month when he was looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus, Master Lu replied; "It will be winter and October in a few days", the prince asked: "Has it snowed yet?" Master Lu said humanely : "Last year was very cold, this year I'm afraid it will be warm winter, and the flowers haven't bloomed yet." The prince looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus again, smiled, and said: "No wonder the flowers this year are sweeter than before."."

Gao Jing waved his hand silently, and Ah Qiu obediently retreated.

Seeing that his footsteps stopped and did not dare to step into the bedroom, He Lan Mingyue comforted him: "Perhaps the prince will gradually improve, so don't think so pessimistically."

Gao Jing forced a smile: "I accept your auspicious words - let's go, follow me to have a look."

The dormitory was still sweltering, Lu Yi sat on the side of the couch and saluted immediately when Gao Jing came in, and there were a few imperial doctors who stayed by the side.

Previously, most of the imperial doctors looked depressed as if they were about to lose their heads, but when He Lan Mingyue looked at them this day, he regained his previous peaceful expression, at least he no longer worried about his life at any time.

He had an idea in his mind, and softly approached Gao Jing's ear: "Let me see, the prince may be fine."

Gao Jing nodded, motioning for the imperial doctor to speak.

The leader Sun Yuyi couldn't hide his joy, and said: "Today, the pulse of the prince is indeed showing signs of improvement."

Gao Jing glanced at the figure on the couch, and lowered his voice: "What's the matter, didn't Uncle Wang keep yelling that he didn't want to be treated? Today I heard that he called me to come, and I almost got over it!"

Sun Yuyi is an old man in the palace. In his eyes, Gao Jing is a king and even a child. Hearing the voice, he said: "Your Majesty, then... the prince might have said something angry at that time. Although he rarely speaks these days, Lord Lu and the humble The courtiers were serving, and all the female officials in the Hanzhang Palace had to tell him jokes to coax him. Slowly, he was much better away from those sad things. Is there anyone who doesn't want to live? Once this mentality is good, he can be nourished at home for a long time As a result, I will be able to eat in the near future—Your Majesty, please feel relieved for the time being."

Gao Jing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said in relief, "Thank you, everyone."

Sun Yuyi didn't dare to be a doctor: "Recently, the colleagues in the Imperial Hospital have worked together, not to mention the many folk doctors invited by His Majesty to work together. The prince can get better, thanks to His Majesty!"

"Come on, don't flatter me, I don't understand medical principles." Gao Jing said with a smile, "You all go down and wait, I want to talk to Uncle Wang."

Several people were ordered to retreat. Although Lu Yi was reluctant, she followed suit.

Seeing Lu Yi leave, He Lanmingyue took a look at him and wanted to leave, Gao Jing said: "You stay, there is nothing you can't listen to."

Gao Qian was able to sit up on the side of the couch, and when he saw himself, Gao Jing's heart finally returned to its original position.Although he still lacked any blood and looked pale, he was a bit more alive than the death-like gray defeat before.

"Uncle Wang called me, do you have anything to say?" Gao Jing sat by the couch and brought him a glass of warm water.

Gao Qian had no expression on his face, he seemed exhausted just seeing Gao Jing: "I'll tell you that you're safe face to face, lest you always be suspicious."

Gao Jing was taken aback, then smiled helplessly: "...Uncle Wang!"

"Lu Yi told me a little bit about the arrangements made by the court. Yes, he also knows how to proceed step by step, and didn't use strong medicine from the beginning." Gao Qian praised, and then said, "But in the future, we should train more people to take it with you. People with ideas can fight, but more importantly, they must be able to defend. You can look at Emperor Xianjing Wen for this way, he has some ideas that can be used, it is better to follow them."

Gao Jingdao understood, and Gao Qian said again: "I'm very tired thinking about these things now, don't ask me about everything in the future, because living in Luoyang City is also boring."

"Okay." Gao Jing agreed first, then realized something else, and said, "Does Uncle Wang want to leave Luoyang?"

Secretly thinking that this child is indeed good at observing words and expressions, Gao Qian smiled softly: "Jing'er, after the spring of next year, if this crippled body gets better, please let me go."

He has been imprisoned in Ziwei City for too many years, and he has never lived a day of leisure.Everyone thinks that he doesn't work hard, but only when he has been in contact with him can he know how exhausting Gao Qian is. He has worked so hard, and this is also the reason why his illness is delayed.

Hearing this, Gao Jing's nose was sore: "Didn't I not let you go, Uncle Wang...will you come back in the future?"

Gao Qian shook his head: "I won't come back, this place is too sad."

"Then...then I'll send you some more people, what do you like? I'll ask them to build you a comfortable house first, and then you can live there directly."

"No need, what is Fei Nashen doing?" Gao Qian patted his hand, "With Lu Yi by my side, you can feel at ease."

Gao Jing hurriedly said: "But Father asked me to take care of you at that time."

Mentioning the late emperor Gao Qian was slightly dazed. He didn't expect that he would mention himself to Gao Jing when he was dying. He was in a complicated state of mind for a while, and said: "Is that so? Brother Huang wanted to take care of me."

There was hidden resentment in the words, and Gao Jing was not easy to answer.

Gao Qian clutched the brocade quilt tightly, his eyes turned pale like clouds, and he said after a long time: "At that time, he was unconscious, and he said many things to me repeatedly. One of them wants me to help you, and he will wait no matter how unwilling he is." Only when your throne is stable can you retreat; the second is to keep saying that he is sorry for Helan, it would be great if the child is still alive... Haha, it seems that Helan Mingyue was killed because I have been forcing him! I know clearly For his own good, how can you not complain in your heart?"

Hearing this high scene, he couldn't help looking at He Lan Mingyue, that person frowned, turned his face away, and didn't know what expression to make.

"Of course, maybe I'm overthinking it. Brother Huang has always treated me like a child. After all, he doesn't really blame me." Gao Qian shook his head, "Forget it, forget it, why bother with all this when people are gone?"

Gao Jingdao: "Uncle Wang...Father actually asked me to listen to you carefully."

Hearing this, Gao Qian only held his hand: "I know, Jinger is a good boy. But after this experience, you can't do things so extreme in the future. You still have a long life, and you can handle many things yourself. Only a little, some decisions to do Before going out, you have to think about whether you can give the world an explanation."

There was something in his words, Gao Jing nodded: "Yes."

Seeing his uncle and nephew reminiscing about the past, He Lanmingyue has complicated emotions.

There are many emotions that urgently need an outlet, but he chooses to digest them by himself.He swallowed the hatred and pain that others thought was unbearable, and did not let his emotions be influenced by them, and brought up the events of the past time and time again, even if He Lan Mingyue knew which was more serious, he would inevitably feel a little bit upset at this time.

Perhaps no one knows what the emperor thought in the end.

As Gao Qian said, when people are gone, what's the point of holding on to it?

When Gao Jing walked out of Hanzhang Hall, the sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden bloomed and released the last fragrance before withering. When Helan Mingyue passed by, he thought it was cute, so he folded one and handed it to Gao Jing.

"Are you really willing to let him and Lu Yi leave the imperial city?"

Gao Jing was playing with the flower: "Otherwise, what else can I do? It's all about this, even saying 'not to enter the imperial tomb'. Uncle Wang wants to live for himself, it doesn't matter if I let it go or not. "

Helan Mingyue's heart was shaken, and she said "hmm" for a while.

Picking off a small beige flower with his fingertips, Gao Jing held He Lan to make him stop, raised his hand and pinned the flower to the side of his hair crown.He took two steps back to look carefully, and smiled while holding the remaining flower branches: "Those ladies, you can't do this."

"what?"

"Didn't many girls follow you and throw flower branches when you rode past Zhuque Street?" Gao Jing shook the sweet-scented osmanthus in front of He Lan's eyes again, "Does this one look good?"

There are many people who throw flowers, but there is only one person who can make hairpins.

Helan Mingyue couldn't help laughing, he raised his hand to touch it, and only touched the fragrance of his sleeves.

In March of the following year, Ji Wang Gaoqian died, and was buried in Ningling Mausoleum in Pingcheng with the princely ceremony.After the Qingming Dynasty in the same year, Yu Wenhua led Lin Haijun to return to Zicheng to meet Duanbu's surprise attack. He Lanmingyue left Ziwei City and went to Mangshan to recruit troops for a drill.

A year later, five thousand fine riders from Mangshan rushed to Saibei, joined the remnants of the Longyou Army and stationed in Xiazhou.

Another year, the flames of war resumed.
