Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 217

King Lanling left for a long time, but the emperor was still sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, motionless.Nana looked at the dense night outside the palace, the magnificence in front of him gradually turned into mist, Chang Gong walked away, leaving only this barren and dead silence. . . . . .

"Your Majesty?" He Shikai looked at the face of His Majesty above, as he wished, not only the monstrous Murong Chong left, but also Gao Changgong left Yecheng as expected, leaving the emperor Gao Zhan.

The state of Qi established its prestige in the world in one battle, the state of Song sought peace, and the natural enemy Zhou state was still recuperating. Taking advantage of the current momentum, I am afraid that the next ten years will be smooth and prosperous.Gao Changgong's meritorious deeds are too outstanding, and he is only in his twenties. If His Majesty continues to be so obsessed with and protecting him, I am afraid that soon, thousands of people will support this humble but powerful King of Lanling.Although he knew that what he did could not escape the eyes of the emperor, but since Gao Changgong fell in love with Murong Chong, let His Majesty see clearly that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!Your Majesty still has the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Crown Prince Gao Wei. This prosperous age should be passed down from generation to generation by His Majesty's descendants!

He Shikai bowed his head, only knowing that the emperor's gaze fell like a knife.He knew in his heart that His Majesty wanted to cut him alive.

"Your Majesty, this Murong Chong has committed a heinous crime. The jade seal passed down to the state is an inexistent treasure. It is best not to let him leave the state of Qi! I ask you to lead an army out of Ye City to search for this rebellious minister, arrest him and punish him, and definitely bring the jade seal back to Ye City!" Seeing the emperor's furious face, the ministers present thought that they had suffered such a sudden change in front of the envoys of the Song Dynasty and had suffered a great loss, so Duan Yi got up and recommended himself, wanting to solve the emperor's worries.

Gao Zhan ignored Duan Yi who pleaded for his life, and still looked at He Shikai without moving, as if He Shikai was the one who initiated the theft of the jade seal!Gao Zhan's eyes were too fierce, causing whispers in the hall, and there were Song Dynasty envoys present, Zu Ting didn't want to make troubles, so he came forward to smooth things over and said: "General Duan, the imperial seal was stolen by villains, and His Majesty the Emperor is furious." , you will bring four thousand soldiers and horses out of Yecheng to hunt down this rebellious Murong Chong! You must take back the jade seal and grab Murong Chong to return the face of our state of Qi!"

"Yes!" Duan Yi cupped his fists to accept the order, thinking that Murong Chong would fall into his hands, his eyes were full of greed.

Gao Zhan still didn't speak, and sat there like an ice sculpture.He Shikai knelt in the hall with his silver hair loose, and the emperor didn't let him get up, so he could only kneel there.

"Lord Yongguang, my lords, it is really a pity that the jade seal, the national treasure of the state of Qi, was suddenly stolen by gangsters today! At this juncture of the Qi and Song Dynasty's reconciliation, you have not been able to see the jade seal as you wished. On behalf of His Majesty, I would like to apologize to all of you!" Prime Minister Right stepped forward and said this to Liu Ziye, but the envoys of the Song Dynasty naturally didn't know what was wrong, so they also thought that Gao Zhan lost his mind because of the theft of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, and couldn't help it It's also Qi Qiran who felt the same way, hearing what the ancestor said, they all sighed and grieved, scolding Murong Chong for repaying virtue with grievances, and there will be no place for such a person in the kingdoms from now on.

Liu Ziye smiled, knowing in his heart that the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo would not be seen today!Thinking of Gao Changgong's departure just now in a fit of anger, as if he wanted to cut off his righteousness with the Northern Qi emperor, he thought that Qingzhou would be cut off anyway, so he might as well leave Yecheng earlier, maybe he could catch up with Gao Changgong's feet Procedure!Thinking about it this way, Lord Yongguang is no longer obsessed with the matter of passing on the jade seal of the country. Instead, he simply bid farewell to Zu Ting and the emperor of Qi State as Qi State wished, saying that he would return to Song State to report to His Majesty the Emperor in the near future. Good news that the peace treaty between the two countries has been concluded!

Zu Ting was overjoyed and respectfully sent the Song people away from Jiuhuatai.The ministers and officials who attended also retreated one by one, leaving only He Shikai and Emperor Gao Zhan still in a stalemate.

The ancestor retreated the others, and said to the silent Gao Zhan: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, and there is a cool wind blowing from Jiuhuatai, why don't you drive back to the palace!"

Gao Zhan was expressionless, but suddenly stood up.

"Putting it out!" An Rui raised his heart in his throat, seeing that the emperor finally made a move, he carefully helped Gao Zhan off the platform and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Zu Ting and He Shikai followed Yu Jia silently, Zu Ting looked at He Shikai, it seemed that it was not the matter of Chuanguo Yuxi that angered Long Yan, but the Zuo Xiang.Zu Ting didn't ask any questions, and He Shikai even followed the steps of Yu Tuo in front of him.

When he arrived at the emperor's inner hall, Gao Zhan got off the imperial guard and said, "Master Zu, you should step back first." He walked in without looking back, and his robes brought a gust of wind, which was stronger than the late night in the cold winter months. for the cold.

"Yes..." Prime Minister Zu looked at He Shikai who stood aside and bowed his head, knowing that this matter would be difficult for him to mediate, so he could only bow and bow.

He Shikai waited for Zu Ting to leave before he walked up to Gao Zhan and knelt down.

Thinking about it, this scene is really familiar. His Majesty the Emperor had the same expression when he made his own proposal to make King Lanling commit himself to His Majesty. . . . . .However, this time His Majesty's expression seemed to hate him even more.

"He Shikai, how long have you been with me?" Gao Zhan sat on the couch and asked someone to take off his cloak.

"Your Majesty, I have been with Your Majesty since I entered the Imperial Academy at the age of ten. Your Majesty is not only my classmate and friend, but also the only master who appreciates you!" He Shikai kowtowed.

"It's been so long, almost 16 years, how time flies! He Shikai, remember that I wanted to kill you once before, do you remember what I told you that time?" Gao Zhan said coldly.

"Remember, Your Majesty told me not to be smart!"

"Okay! What I want is your smartness! Now that you know it well, you should know why you ended up like this today! I think you and I are in the same class, and you can end it yourself!" Gao Zhan finished speaking, A shining sharp sword was thrown in front of He Shikai.The sword was out of its sheath, and He Shikai glanced at it and saw his own desolate appearance covered by silver hair reflected on the sword.

"Your Majesty!!!! Your Majesty..."

"I also want to keep me in the dark because of my country and society?! He Shikai, I even sometimes feel, how much loyalty do you have to me?! I can forgive you for the first time, absolutely I won't spare you the second time. I appreciate your talent, but unfortunately... I can't keep a slave like you!" Gao Zhan turned around and looked out of the window with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, you are so talented and powerful, why can't you get around a word of love? I don't want to see you getting deeper and deeper, Your Majesty! He already has his own love, so today Lichen is making the best of both worlds." , not only for His Majesty's good, but also for..."

"Shut up! He Shikai, do you think I don't know about my intentions as a bargaining chip for your success? Now, under Chang Gong's fame, you must be quite afraid, so you simply let him leave Yecheng. Never come back! A wolfish ambition, it is a slave like you!"

"Heshi is wronged!!!! When I was ten years old, I followed Your Majesty wholeheartedly! It is my greatest wish for Your Majesty to ascend the dragon chair. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I am a barbarian. What ambition is there to be able to attend the court in this life?! I have no heirs under my knees. If I have any wish, it is just to let His Royal Highness be able to protect my young master from now on! Your Majesty, Lan King Mausoleum is the fourth son of Emperor Wenxiang. No matter how partial you are to protect him, you can’t compromise the foundation of the country for him! He resolutely left today, wouldn’t His Highness let him go?! It’s not a pity for me to die, but I can’t watch Your Majesty walk away. It's time to fall! Gao Changgong has no interest in fighting for power today, but it doesn't mean he won't be tempted in the future! People's hearts are unpredictable, Your Majesty!"

"Heh, He Shikai, you speak clearly and logically with me every time. However, you really spoke to my heart! People's hearts are unpredictable, my lord! It's a pity...to leave you like this How can I rest assured that the person I love is by Wei'er's side? I will bury you in honor, so there is no need to say more." Gao Zhan did not waver a little, but looked up at the sky outside the hall. The fire shivered in the cold wind.

"Your Majesty...you really don't miss the old kindness? Gao Changgong just left Yecheng, do you really want the minister to die?" He Shikai shook his head and his voice was blocked.

"You should eat the fruit of the poisonous plan you came up with yourself!" Gao Zhan said bitterly.

"But where does he have your Majesty in his heart?! That Murong Chong is just a male favourite, extremely humble. You are the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Your Majesty, you can kill that Murong Chong, but you are always accommodating. I saw that your majesty In order to keep the King of Lanling, you treat yourself so badly, so you dare not think that one day, if Gao Changgong wants this country..."

"Shut up!" Gao Zhan shouted without hesitation before He Shikai finished speaking, "It's not up to you, a servant, to worry about my country. Don't force me not to give you some face as a leftist. Do it yourself. !" Gao Zhan's face was covered with frost, and there was no room for change.

He Shikai's eyes widened and he stood there stiffly.Suddenly burst into tears, crying in grief.

"Your Majesty, my death is not a pity...but what I am sad about is that the relationship between master and servant in the past ten years is not worth the indifference of King Lanling. That person is right, Your Majesty would rather bear the burden People in the world will not let that Gao Changgong down. The minister is too dull, thinking that he is the help of the emperor soaring into the sky, but he never thought that he is also the biggest disaster for his majesty! It's too late... It's too late... . . . Heh, this minister is really self-inflicted and can't live!"

He Shikai seemed to be discouraged, and his heart was ashamed.

Slowly picked up the long sword thrown on the ground by Gao Zhan, wanting to drink the sword and kill himself.

Suddenly, a small figure rushed out from behind the curtain of the palace, rushed to He Shikai's side, and jumped out with a loud cry: "Father, you can't kill Sir He~~~~~ ~~~~~~Father, you can’t kill He-sama! Wei’er, please!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Prince Gaowei.

"Nonsense! Who brought the crown prince to my palace?!" Gao Zhan was furious and shouted.

The maidservant who was hiding behind with the prince in her arms suddenly turned pale with fright, she knelt in front of Gao Zhan and kept begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I told the prince to wait for your majesty to finish discussing with the envoys of the Song Dynasty tonight." For important matters, I will go to the Prince’s Hall to see His Royal Highness. Your Highness is counting the days, and you can’t wait to see His Majesty the Emperor, so you must bring him here. A slave is a big crime, a slave is a big crime!”

The maid kowtowed non-stop, already trembling with fright.

However, Gao Wei, who was only a little tall, stood by He Shikai's side tightly, letting tears and snot smear his face, but he didn't show any timidity.

"Father, please! Don't kill Mr. He. Without Mr. He, Wei'er really has no one to accompany! No one will care about Wei'er's words, and no one knows what I like or dislike. In the palace, my father doesn't have time to accompany me, and I won't even have my lord from now on, what should I do..." Gao Wei burst into tears, crying miserably.Tears flowed down her beautiful big eyes, and even the skirts of her clothes were wet from crying. Seeing someone who smells sad and sees them cry, it is true that a hard-hearted person will feel heartbroken.

The author has something to say:

Gao Wei is extremely attached to people, which is probably true for people with weak psychology
