Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 227

Gao Xiaoheng waited bitterly outside elder brother Xiaoyu's mansion, from the dawn of the sun to the dusk of sunset, but he only saw Sanniang Song coming in and out.

"Sanniang, when will eldest brother come back? I've been waiting here for a whole day, and I have no title of prince. Now it's hard to even go to the prison to see third brother. Xiaoheng can only rely on eldest brother!"

Gao Xiaoheng and his two younger brothers didn't get the sad news that Xiao Wan had been imprisoned for plotting rebellion until the Gao Mansion was closed down.

The brotherly love was deep, the fifth and sixth younger brothers cried together at home, and Gao Xiaoheng was helpless, so he wanted to find a way with his eldest brother who was reporting to the court, even if he met the aunt and Xiaowan first to know their current situation.

"Xiaoheng, didn't you see that my feet are still on the ground today? Am I not more anxious than you?" Sanniang waved a brocade veil in the cold winter, pressed it on the rouge still submissive face, and looked sideways Look at Gao Xiaoheng, "But my family, Xiaoyu, really don't know if it was Xiao Wan who got involved. I sent people to Zhongshu Province to look for him several times, and I kept saying that I couldn't leave the palace because of official duties. Oh, I'm also very anxious. Are you saying that His Majesty the Emperor locked up Xiao Yu, my family? What is wrong with Xiao Wan! He did such a reckless thing!"

"San Niang, the truth is still unknown, why did you blame the third brother first! Isn't it all due to Xiao Wan that our brothers can own their own properties?" Xiao Heng's voice was loud, and Song looked at the street. The passers-by on the road frowned suddenly, and pulled Hyo Heng aside to speak in horror.

"Yes, yes, it is fortunate that Gao Xiaowan is willing to let us go, otherwise we, young and old, would not have the right to talk outside! They are all inside! Xiaoheng, tell me, if my family Xiaoyu really Go to the emperor to intercede with your third younger brother, won’t his brilliant future be ruined like this?! No, it’s more than ruined, my family Xiaoyu is close to that evil person, it’s hard to say that he was framed as an accomplice! "Song stared at her eyeballs, and beat her palm as if she had suddenly realized.

"San Niang, how can a family speak two languages! Da Niang and Xiao Wan have never treated us badly! We are brothers who grew up together!" Xiao Heng said angrily.

"Brothers are right, but your mother didn't treat us Xiaoyu as the eldest son. Xiaoheng, you don't listen to things outside the window and only read sage books. There are many things you don't know. Your mother I swallowed my anger for a long time, probably didn't say anything about the mother and child in front of you, actually..."

"Sanniang, if you don't want to help, just say so, and now you're making things worse by saying these things! Xiaoheng bid farewell, brother, I'll go find him myself!" Gao Xiaoheng was rarely really angry, his face was livid, he turned and left.

"Eh? Xiaoheng, Xiaoheng, your elder brother is just a civil servant, and he has made a name for himself with great difficulty! Don't hurt him~~~~ Besides, so what if your elder brother begged for mercy? People speak lightly. !" Seeing Xiaoheng angrily, Song turned around and left, still watching over him.

Xiaoheng could tell that Sanniang was just afraid that a fire at the city gate would harm the fish in the pond, and it seemed that as long as her elder brother was fine, she would not care too much about Xiao Wan's affairs, so she sighed, only feeling the coldness of the world.

After much deliberation, Xiaoheng went to Lanling Palace.Walking around outside the door, before the door was knocked, the door of the palace opened by itself.

"His Royal Highness Xiaoheng? Why don't you enter the mansion while standing outside the door?" Cuiniang asked Xiaoheng while pulling her.Gao Xiaoheng would never wander the streets on weekdays, seeing the dense beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, Cuiniang knew it was because of Prince Hejian.Cuiniang called Xiaoheng into the mansion, so as not to distract the eyes of people outside, Xiaoheng nodded, but he refused to go inside to drink tea and talk at the same time, as soon as he entered the garden, he also came to ask Chang Gong's whereabouts.

"Cui Niang, I don't want to bother the fourth brother... The fourth brother holds the military power, if it is also involved, it will be more troublesome, but Xiao Heng is useless, there is really no other way!" Xiao Heng is a frail scholar. , Now I am as anxious as ants on a hot pan.Thinking of what Sanniang said before, seeing that Cuiniang didn't answer, she said softly, "If fourth brother is afraid of getting involved in it and ruining his future, then Xiaoheng can only think of other ways..."

Disgruntled, Xiaoheng was full of hesitation.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about! Your Highness Xiao Wan and His Highness Chang Gong are brothers and sisters. What you said hurt the feelings of the two brothers! Old servant, I was just thinking about how to inform my prince in the shortest possible time. His matter, the prince is back, there will be a solution!" Cuiniang said.

"Really? Will Chang Gong really care about this matter?! Before the aunt forced him to leave the Gaofu, I thought he was the fourth brother..." Xiaoheng seemed to have found the backbone, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Cui Niang nodded emphatically, comforted His Royal Highness Xiaoheng, and sent Xiaoheng away.As soon as the person left, Cuiniang couldn't help but sighed.Due to selfishness, in fact, she really hoped that His Highness Chang Gong would not go back to Yecheng to get mixed up in this muddy water if he just wandered outside and knew nothing about wild cranes.However, she knew what kind of person her Highness was.Thinking of this, Cui Niang let Zheng Er take care of the palace, and left a mark in the night, waiting for the elusive old man to come and pick her up.

Gao's mansion was seized, and people in Yecheng were panicked for a while.

Originally, the minister who attached himself to Gao Xiaowan and wanted to befriend him was afraid of endangering his own safety, so he either complained of illness or submitted a memorial to retire and resign from office.

The flag prepared by the king of Hejian for the change of dynasty was found in the Gaofu, and the character Xiang was embroidered on the bright yellow flag.Hundreds of newly forged long lances were also found in the treasury of the Gao Mansion. Even though Gao Xiaowan hadn't confessed anything after being arrested, the matter was already clear.The ironclad evidence is so strong that it is probably too late to use the names of Emperor Shenwu and Emperor Wenxiang to intercede with King Hejian.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiaowan said he wanted to see you." Chen Weiran returned from the prison and reported to Gao Zhan who was reviewing the memorial.

"See me?" Gao Zhan paused his pen tip without raising his head, and said, "Is he still not recruiting anything?"

"Yes, because of his status, I dare not use severe punishment. In fact, it doesn't matter whether King Hejian speaks up or not. He and his mother, Queen Jingde, were going to Guangzhou, Shandong Province. There, King Gaoli of Le'an and Danyang Wang Li Zuxun hoarded a lot of food and grass for soldiers and horses. King Hejian wanted to leave Yecheng with Empress Jingde this time, so he sent troops to Shandong to rebel against the court. He didn't need to explain these things himself, as long as the troops sent by the ancestors caught them. Gao Li and Li Zuxun, everything will be clear." Chen Weiran reported.

"Gao Li, Li Zuxun..." Gao Zhan chuckled, and put the pen in his hand on the edge of the inkstone, "Crowd! Who did the ancestor send to Shandong to calm the chaos?" Gao Zhan asked.

"It's Young General Duan Shen. There is also General Duan Yi's military news, and the troops he leads are almost near Shandong."

"Duan Yi...? So that's where Chang Gong went?" Gao Zhan asked with a serious face.

"Yes!" Chen Weiran saluted, then paused, and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Lanling has a heavy army in his hands, so he will also go to Guangzhou..." Before Chen Weiran finished speaking, he raised his hand. He looked at the emperor's face.

"No, I think Chang Gong was kept in the dark by that Murong Chong, and was tricked by the Murong family to go to the old capital of Yan Kingdom with an excuse made up by Murong!" Gao Zhan said.

"However, in order to prevent the situation from becoming more chaotic, Prime Minister Zu also asked His Majesty to take back His Highness Changgong's military power first, and wait until the Gwangju Rebellion is settled..." Chen Weiran boldly remonstrated.

"Chen Weiran, I think you are all worrying too much. I believe that Gao Changgong is not because of those personal relationships, but that he, the King of Lanling, will never use troops to gain power in our country of Qi even if he is smashed to pieces. In order to kill the enemy and defend the country, you will never fight in the same room. If I say this, you will let the two ministers on the left and right relax."

"Yes!" After hearing this, Chen Weiran blushed with embarrassment.He was also born and died with His Royal Highness Lanling, but because he concealed his true identity, he could only be strangers to Xiong San'er and King Lanling back then, and became acquaintances.I always thought that His Majesty the Emperor was obsessed with King Lanling, but at this moment, he was also a little envious for a while. I don't know what His Majesty Lanling thinks about His Majesty's affection for the Emperor, but Your Majesty, probably the most understanding in the world. The person who is most willing to believe in Gao Changgong.

A scholar dies for his confidant. I hope that one day, His Highness Chang Gong will treat His Majesty the same way.

"Your Majesty, that humble minister is leaving first. Gao Xiaowan is at the end of his rope, so it's okay if His Majesty doesn't see you." Chen Weiran was about to turn around and leave when Gao Zhan said, "Let's bring him here. I'm curious how someone like Gao Xiaowan would think rebels."

Gao Zhan picked up the pen and continued to read the memorial.

. . . . . . "Yes!" After Chen Weiran took the order, he brought King Hejian into the imperial study not long after.

After being imprisoned, Gao Xiaowan was dressed in prison clothes, but her expression was cold and arrogant.His hands, feet, and hands were tied by heavy chains, and when he saw Gao Zhan, he stood upright like that, without any appearance of bowing his knees.

"Kneel down!" The imperial guard stepped forward and was about to kick Gao Xiaowan to force him to kneel down, but Gao Zhan yelled and asked someone to remove the shackles from Gao Xiaowan's body.

After removing the iron chain, Gao Xiaowan moved his frayed wrist, and looked at Gao Zhan with a sneer, without the slightest expression of begging.

"You all go out, I have something to say to the King of Hejian." Gao Zhan sent the guards out, Chen Weiran took the order, but still he just led the guards outside the imperial study, and did not leave.

The door of the imperial study was closed, only Gao Xiaowan and Gao Zhan were inside.

"Don't think that I will be grateful to you. I, Gao Xiaowan, just have bad luck. If I really raise an army, it is still unknown who will die." The sword-eyed and star-eyed Hejian King did not look like a prisoner at all, his eyes were full of arrogance, and he would rather be broken than whole. .

The author has something to say:
