Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 225

The night was as cold as water, and Gao Zhan was twirling a wolf hair with his fingertips. Even though it was the second watch, he still didn't feel sleepy.

The tip of the pen is rolled gently on the rice paper, and the place where the ink is dizzy is like spring water surging and begonia flowers blooming, little by little.Gao Zhan lowered his head, his cold eyes were warmed by the candlelight that was streaming with tears.But the center of his brows was slightly frowned, and the corners of his eyes were drawn with a look of desolation and loneliness, which was completely different from his decision to kill and attack the courtiers during the day.

"Your Majesty, let's take a rest earlier. I must be tired of sending those Songs out of the imperial city today." An Rui held the lamp for Gao Zhan to make it easier for him to draw. It's even more incomprehensible.He was confused and didn't know what it was. An Rui knew that the emperor was depressed, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

"Does Duan Yi have any news to send back?" Gao Zhan asked.

An Rui lowered his head and shook his head, and said softly: "General Duan only said that the bodies of two imperial guards were found along the road, and there is no other new progress. Your Majesty, Murong Chong can't run away...even if After returning to Rouran, Khan Fu Jian will also arrest him!"

The paintbrush in Gao Zhan's hand froze slightly, he continued to draw with his head down, and then he said to himself: "Murong Chong will not return to Rouran. He..."

"What's wrong with him, Your Majesty?" An Rui didn't hear clearly, Gao Zhan seemed to be speaking for himself.So even though the people around me bent down, they still couldn't hear what they were saying, but the splashed ink on the rice paper became more and more intense, as if a thunder had exploded, and the sky was densely covered with thick dark clouds .

"Your Majesty is painting a shower! It's so lifelike!" An Rui turned to look at His Majesty the Emperor and praised.How could he know that the emperor didn't buy it, he just bent over his desk to paint, as if he was angry, he filled the ink with the tip of the pen and sketched there heavily, one stroke at a time, one stroke at a time, the color was so faint that it couldn't be more heavy, and there was no trace on a piece of paper. What spare place.The dark and oppressive area looks like mountains and ridges, and it looks like a fog that hides an inextricable magic barrier.

The ink turned into a strange and changing shape, and this stroke was drawn on his heart in one fell swoop, dripping with blood.

Chang Gong didn't even give him a chance to defend himself.

Maybe he didn't need a reason to run away from him, but when the time came, he would never look back.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Gao Zhan coughed violently. He was holding a paintbrush in one hand, but gradually he couldn't hold it.An Rui found that something was wrong, and as expected, the emperor's face gradually turned blank, and he clutched his chest and gasped violently.

"Come on, please go and invite Doctor Guo! Come here and invite Doctor Guo!!!" With An Rui's sharp voice shouting, Gao Zhan's bedroom was immediately brightly lit.The little eunuchs and maids who were sleeping drowsily were in a hurry, those who invited the imperial doctor invited the imperial doctor, and those who waited on the emperor rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find some bottles and jars, but they couldn't figure out which ones were the right medicines.

The emperor's palace was full of people, and it was not until Gao Zhan took the medicine prescribed by Guo Taiyi that he was at peace.

"Your Majesty, the old minister told you that if everything is taken care of, all ailments will be gone." Imperial Physician Guo looked at Gao Zhan on the dragon couch, stroked his beard and sighed.

"I remember when I was a child, Imperial Physician Guo treated me. Every time I had nothing to love in life, you always comforted me like this... It's just a fleeting youth, and I'm not allowed to think about it Physician Guo, I understand that I will let go when it is time to let go, but now, I don't want to turn back."

Guo Shuhuai looked at the seed of infatuation, shook his head, and said: "Hey... well, well, the emperor has been smart since he was a child, so the old minister will not say anything. I hope your majesty can restrain his thoughts and calm down."

"Hehe, Imperial Physician Guo, you shouldn't be an imperial physician. Every time you whisper in my ear, you look like an old monk in a monastery." Gao Zhan's lips were pale and dry, and he fell into a coma just now. Now, after joking with Guo Shuhuai for a while, I don't feel too sleepy.The sky outside the hall showed morning light, and it was almost morning.

"Your Majesty, you are not feeling well, so let's get rid of it early." An Rui said.

"You go to the court and ask all the lovers if you have something important to report. If you have something to do, go to the imperial study and wait for me. I will come later."

"Yes..." An Rui took the order and withdrew.

"The old minister also withdrew."

Guo Shuhuai bowed, Gao Zhan nodded, and let him go down too.

In the huge palace, day and night rotate, but he is always the only one wandering alone.

Pale face resting on the mandarin duck pillow, counting the beams above.Gao Zhan sneered and covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

In the imperial study room, the left and right prime ministers stood on both sides, and several generals who joined the army and the Ministry of War were also in it, whispering to each other. When they saw the emperor coming, they bowed to greet him.

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

"Excuse me." Gao Zhan wore a dragon robe. Although his complexion was not good, he washed up and took care of himself. The emperor looked dignified and said with vigor, "What's the important thing for the lovers? Let's submit it."

It was said that those ministers presented the memorials to the emperor. After Gao Zhan read them one by one, a minister of the Ministry of War said: "Your Majesty, this is the news I got. The Murong family plans to make a comeback. Set up troops nearby and wait for the right time. Once the Yan Kingdom is revived, our garrison in the northern border of the Great Wall will face off against Murong Chui's army. The strange thing is that our Qi Kingdom has already obtained such a military situation, but the Rouran people have nothing to stop them I mean..." The superior courtier raised his eyes to look at Gao Zhan's face, for fear of offending Tian Yan.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am also very worried about this matter. Rouran was the one who destroyed the Yan Kingdom. It stands to reason that Fu Jian Khan should be the most worried about this matter. But the information I got is the same as this Li Canjun. Rouran However, he was unmoved, even though Murong Chui was building up the military defense in Longcheng and recruiting the old troops everywhere, many exiled nobles of the Murong family had already returned to their homeland. When Emperor Youdi Murong Wei died, several of Murong Jun's brothers were Ready to go, Murong Chui's foundation is the most solid among them, if he raises his arms and shouts, he may be in serious trouble in the future!" Another general in the study also had a solemn face, and seeing the emperor's pensive state, he said, " I have another concern, I don't know whether to speak or not."

"Important national affairs, you should talk about it when it's time to talk about it, and talk about it when it's not appropriate. Talk about it quickly." Gao Zhan put down the memorial in his hand and frowned.

"Your Majesty, although Fu Jian Khan is His Majesty's in-law and uncle of His Royal Highness, he is closely related to our country to fight against the Turks. But Your Majesty, don't forget that he is also a remnant of the former Qin Dynasty. If you say that he is willing to stay outside the Mobei Grassland for the rest of his life In this land, I feel that he will not be so willing to stay mediocre... Rouran has an agreement with us not to fight, but if the unexpected guest Yan Kingdom suddenly appears next to my Daqi's couch, the form will change It's very different. I have the guts to speculate about Fu Jian Khan's gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, and I hope Your Majesty will understand." After the minister finished speaking, he bowed and bowed.

The emperor stared at the memorials, but still said nothing.Gao Zhan knew Fu Jian's great ambition.

"Your Majesty, I also want to say a few words boldly, I hope Your Majesty will grant you."

"Don't hesitate, I will allow you to speak freely." Gao Zhan said.

"At present, the situation in our country's northern fortress is changing, and I think there are two points that we must make a far-reaching plan. I am a small fourth-rank soldier, and I would like to ask His Majesty to order General Murong Shaozong who guarded Mobei to be transferred back, and another general of this dynasty to be stationed at the northern pass. Furthermore, please be sure to bring Murong Chong back, Your Majesty, or, if you want to see people alive, you need to see dead bodies! Probably Your Majesty and all the lords don't know yet, but the secret agent of the minister in the Rouran Khan Court reported that the Youdi Murong Wei When I was confused, I left a will, and let the people of the Murong clan bring out Rouran. It is said that what was written on the will was the candidate for the throne after the restoration of Dayan... and the person who succeeded the throne on the will was It's Murong Wei's younger brother, Murong Chong!!"

Li Canjun knelt down and said heavily. When he said this, all the ministers present gasped.He Shikai's face paled even more, that Murong Chong was sent out of Yecheng by his design, how could he have expected such a mistake!

"What? Are you serious?!" The emperor was also too surprised, and slowly got up from the dragon chair.

"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty, as soon as I got the news, I asked my subordinates to inquire again. Murong Chui has already sent someone close to him to fetch Murong Chong back to Dragon City. If it weren't for this will, Murong Chui would not have been so troublesome! I Chao Zhen missed a move, and this minister is very regretful. If he had received the news earlier, he should have strictly guarded this Murong Chong. Obviously in my Great Qi Imperial City, Murong Chong should be hard to fly, but now let him He escaped and took away the most precious treasure of our country, the Jade Seal. This will definitely make the Murong Clan rise again! If there is such a scene, even if Murong Chui in Dragon City has great ability, But I hold the proton in my hand so that they don't dare to act rashly, so there is so much room for maneuver! It's really a bad move!!"

Then Li Canjun kept shaking his head and sighed repeatedly.

Gao Zhan's face was as cold as frost, and he murmured: "What kind of chess is missing... It's obvious that someone is pretending to be smart!" The memorial in Gao Zhan's hand hit the ground in front of him hard, and He Shikai slammed down on his knees again.

"Your Majesty, I can't escape the blame for the death of this lowly minister, let Your Majesty punish you!!" He Shikai pretended to be smart, at this moment he knew that something had really happened, so he kowtowed heavily and begged.

The other adults present also didn't know the inside story, and they could only look puzzled when they saw the emperor angering He Shikai.

Zu Teng, the right chancellor, said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send heavy troops to chase Murong Chong back to see if he can make up for it. As for whether the guards guarding the northern fortress will be replaced... Maybe Murong Shao Old General Zong should go back to Ye City to enjoy the blessings, the northern part of Saibei is bitter and cold, the old general has been guarding for more than twenty years, and he has worked hard and accomplished a lot."

Gao Zhan knew what Prime Minister Right meant, but Old General Murong was also a hero who held a heavy hand in the Northern Qi Dynasty.At first, my father feared that the Murong clan deliberately transferred him to the northern part of the Great Wall. Now that the Yan Kingdom will be restored, if Murong Shaozong is sent back to Ye City, the old general's temper will be twisted, and I don't know how much effort it will take.

Gao Zhan thought a lot and couldn't help frowning.

Several ministers in the imperial study room were about to retreat when they saw a young eunuch enter and whispered a few words to Eunuch An Rui.

An Rui nodded, turned around and reported softly beside the emperor.

"Oh? Princess Hejian wants to see me? Oh, that's strange. What's the matter with her as a woman?" Gao Zhan raised his eyebrows, really surprised, "Since the princess said it was an urgent business, everyone All the ministers will stay and listen." Gao Zhan had heard about the hotness of Princess Hejian for a long time, so he asked the ministers in the imperial study to stay behind as if he wanted to avoid suspicion.

After a while, Yuan Zi'er was ushered in by the eunuch with a flustered expression.

Looking at the prime minister and general in the study, Yuanshi knelt down tremblingly and saluted: "My concubine Yuanshi has seen His Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

"Princess Hejian, please come up." Gao Zhan looked at the woman in front of him, thinking of her cruel methods of destroying her reputation in order to blame Chang Gong, he couldn't help showing cold contempt in his eyes.
