rebirth first official

Half a month later, a major event happened that shook the entire capital—on a dark and stormy night, an old house at the south gate of the capital was flooded, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city sent a group to put out the fire, causing chaos at the gate of the city.After the fire was extinguished, everyone went back to rest, but early the next morning, everyone found that Liu Shijia was gone!Liu Shijia, the son of the Jiedushi of Pinglu Town who had been under house arrest by the Gao family for several months, disappeared overnight as if he had grown wings!

For the common people, this incident is just an amusing topic after dinner.Some people say that Liu Shijia was assassinated by someone sent by the Gao family, others say that Liu Shijia was secretly released by the emperor. This time, he not only escaped by himself, but also planned to secretly fight back from the lost path with his troops.

In these rumors in the market, it is really close to the truth.

Liu Shijia did escape.

People in the Gao family didn't want him to go, everyone except the Gao family wanted him to go, including the emperor.Gao Zhanming learned through Su Yu that the emperor had been secretly planning to let Liu Shijia go.Rescuing Liu Shijia was a very difficult task for Gao Zhanming. He had to let him go without exposing himself, but with the participation of the emperor, this matter was much easier.

Gao Zhanming was in charge of fooling the Gao family, and Su Yu was in charge of fooling the emperor, both of them obtained information before arranging their own affairs.The fire at the gate of the south city was set by the emperor. The Gao family got the news that Liu Shijia would take advantage of the chaos and escape, so they immediately sent people to chase after him. As a result, Liu Shijia stole the official residence and the token and went out with the chasing team until dawn. The chasing officers and soldiers caught up with the "fleeing" person, but he was just an ordinary prisoner. They knew they had been fooled, and went back in a daze to check, but they didn't know when Liu Shijia ran away.

In fact, according to the emperor's original plan, he really planned to let Liu Shijia escape in the chaos when the city gate caught fire. As for how the news leaked to Gao's family, that's up to Gao Zhanming.Gao Zhanming "coincidentally" found clues from Liu Shijia, and informed Gao Qiang to pay attention to the emperor. Therefore, when the city gate escaped, Gao's family immediately took action. He left, how he left, even the emperor didn't know, but he also thought that his plan had succeeded. ——In fact, Gao Zhanming, Su Yu and others took advantage of the emperor's plans and improved the entire escape plan, not to mention making Liu Shijia escape more smoothly, and successfully got rid of the suspicion. In Gao Qiang's mind, Gao Zhanming is a The hero who tipped off the news, although he failed to intercept Liu Shijia in the end, Gao Zhanming still had merit.

When Liu Shijia left, Li Changzhi and Gao Qiang's mother and son also turned their faces.

Li Changzhi has always been dissatisfied with the authority of his mother's family. He used to be the emperor, and it was natural for him to take care of his mother's power. However, now that he has grown up for several years, the Gao family has always regarded him as a puppet. He does not have the power of an emperor. He didn't have the dignity of an emperor at all. How could a man with a strong blood endure such humiliation?In addition, Zhao Guifei fanned the flames, which made him no longer want to care about family affection.

Therefore, Li Changzhi took advantage of this shareholder style to stand on the side of the Zhao family with a clear banner, and encouraged all the officials to write a letter against Gao Qiang listening to politics behind a curtain and impeaching An Guogong for several crimes.With the assistance of the Jiedu Envoy of Pinglu Town, the Zhao family became more and more arrogant, trying to fight against the Gao family, or even replace it.

Compared with the arrogance of the Zhao family, Gao Qiang, Gao Yuanzhao and others really lived in peace for a while, and they actually wanted to give in.But this is just the calm before the storm.

Gao Qiang summons Gao Zhanming into the palace, and when Gao Zhanming arrives at the bedroom, unexpectedly Gao Yuanzhao is also in Gao Qiang's palace.The chief eunuch, Guo Yulian, led Gao Zhanming into the main hall, saluted and then left. Only then did Gao Zhanming realize that there was not even a servant serving in the palace. It was obvious that Gao Qiang was discussing important confidential matters with Gao Yuanzhao.

Seeing Gao Zhanming coming, Gao Qiang didn't treat him as an outsider, motioned him to sit down, turned his head and continued the conversation with Gao Yuanzhao, and let Gao Zhanming listen without hesitation.

Gao Qiang said: "Then Zhao Ansi is really not ordinary stupid. Why, their Zhao family thought that if Liu Shijia was let go, their Zhao family would be overthrown?"

Gao Yuanzhao sneered: "Exactly. Whether the Liu family will marry the Zhao family or not is still undecided, so what if they really married their children and in-laws? Doesn't Liu Qiang have selfish intentions? Zhao Ansi's recent actions may have killed tens of thousands of people in Pinglu Town. Soldiers and horses are their own pawns."

Gao Qiang didn’t completely trust Gao Zhanming at first, but when Liu Shijia escaped, Gao Zhanming “tipped off the news” to Gao Qiang, making Gao Qiang really think that Liu Shijia’s departure from Beijing was facilitated by the emperor, and Gao Zhanming, the “behind the scenes” became the hero instead. , and Tang Yun's eyeliner cooperated inside and out, which made her trust this nephew even more.So this kind of dialogue does not avoid him.Even Su Rong applauded Gao Zhanming's plan of alienation.

Gao Zhanming just listened from the sidelines, but didn't interrupt.The dialogue between Gao Qiang and Gao Yuanzhao, although suspected of self-consolation, is generally good.The Liu family had the intention of marrying the Zhao family. Gao Qiang immediately detained Liu Shijia when he heard the news, in order to prevent this marriage, but if she didn't detain someone, it doesn't mean that the marriage will be successful.What's more, Liu Qiang is not a fool, he just wants to gain more power through his in-laws with the Zhao family, but he may not be willing to be a chess piece for the Zhao family.The current arrogance of the Zhao family has indeed passed.You must know that the Gao family has been in power for several years, and the forces in the court are intertwined. It is true that the Zhao family can contain the Gao family with the help of the Liu family, but if they want to replace the Gao family, they will only end up in a situation where both sides suffer.

Gao Qiang sighed and said: "The most stupid thing is my son who doesn't live up to expectations! He doesn't believe it either. After all, our Gao family is his mother and uncle. What is the Zhao family? A woman has fascinated him so much! Regardless of this kind of kinship, our Gao family has gained power, no matter what, I always want to stabilize his throne, but he maintains his own self-esteem, once the Zhao family turns against him, he will not even be able to hold the position of emperor! The dynasty is really going to change their surname!"

Gao Zhanming couldn't help but nodded slightly.What the emperor should do most is to balance the power and consolidate the imperial power, and Gao Zhanming's assistance in Liu Shijia's escape is also for this purpose.However, what Li Changzhi is doing now is completely biased towards the Zhao family. Not to mention raising a tiger, if the Zhao family really fights against the high price with his help, the people in the world will have no peace!

Gao Qiang turned to Gao Zhanming and said, "Good boy, what do you think?"

Gao Zhanming hesitated for a moment, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Why have Aunt and Uncle backed down to them recently?"

These days, the members of the Zhao family have made frequent moves. At one time, they impeached the members of the Gao family and cut their positions, and at the other they proposed reforms. In fact, the reforms were also aimed at weakening the wings of the Gao family.It stands to reason that Gao Qiang and the others shouldn't be so afraid, they have many ways to deal with it, but Gao Zhanming found it strange that Gao Dang did not take any action, and seemed to be slaughtered.This is really not right.

Gao Qiang smiled slightly, took a sip from the cup of tea in his hand unhurriedly: "Let them be arrogant for a few days, when they become insensitive, they will dig their own graves."

Gao Zhanming took a deep breath.Hearing Gao Qiang's words, it seems that he has reserved a backhand, and this backhand is not small, I am afraid that it will make the Zhao family suffer a big fall.

Gao Zhanming made indirect remarks, wanting to ask Gao Qiang what he had left behind, but Gao Qiang refused to tell Gao Zhanming what he said, and after discussing the government affairs with him for a while, he let him go back.

After Gao Zhanming returned home, he always felt uneasy, so he went back to his study and sat there for a while, then unfolded the letter paper to write a letter.

He was going to write a letter to Li Jingruo, telling him about the situation in Beijing and asking for his opinion.It was Li Jingruo who started the matter of letting Liu Shijia go earlier. Although Gao Zhanming cooperated with all his strength, he always felt a little uncomfortable. Li Jingruo was thousands of miles away, and a few letters sent him around. Why?

However, just after writing a line and looking up, there was a knock on the door outside: "Master, Mr. Su sent someone to deliver a letter."

Gao Zhanming quickly put away the letter paper and said, "Let the messenger come in."

After a while, the door opened and a man wearing a hat walked in.It was already late, and candles were lit in the room, but the man did not drag his straw hat off when he entered the room, the brim of the hat was pulled low, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

Gao Zhanming couldn't help frowning, thinking that this person is hiding something so he can't be seen?Since he came in with Su Yu's token, he wasn't worried that this person would make a bad idea, it's just that he didn't respect himself enough.He said: "The weather is hot, brother, why don't you take off your hat?"

He only heard the man chuckle, and slowly took off the straw hat on his head: "Jun Liang, long time no see."

With the lifting of the brim of the hat and the bright candlelight, Li Jingruo's handsome face slowly appeared in front of Gao Zhanming's eyes.Gao Zhanming suddenly stood up from the chair, but was surprised and speechless.
