Bright moon out of Tianshan

Zhao Yuancai gritted his teeth and said word by word, icy cold, dignified and ruthless, waves of echoes bumped back and forth in the hall, buzzing, hitting Xiao Jian's heart with one sound, Xiao Jian trembled lightly following the sound, all His belief and persistence slowly collapsed, collapsed, retreated, and fell. He looked up at Zhao Yuancai, and murmured in response: "Okay, I will drink!" Slowly stretched out his hand, took a glass of wine, Zhao Yuancai smiled Looking at him intently, they raised their glasses in their hands. As expected, the two drank half a glass each, then exchanged glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Satisfied, Zhao Yuancai threw the cup on the ground casually, keeping his eyes on Xiao Jian's face, and said softly: "Xiao Xiao, I still want to ask you, do you really have no affection for me? Then in Xiangyuan, you are pitying me gone?"

Xiao Jian stared at him: "No, Your Majesty." He slowly raised a hand, holding a beautiful melon carved from suet white jade: "People are not grasses, how can they be ruthless? This is a gift from Your Majesty." Mine, I have always carried it with me. Your Majesty’s love for me, I will never forget until the day I die. I took the initiative to come to Your Majesty’s side today when the city was broken, and I will use my life to repay the kindness I owe you. .Because I have nothing else.”

Zhao Yuancai looked at him and laughed, and said in a low voice, "Okay, very good, hahahaha..."

Satisfied, he couldn't stop laughing, and Lin Zaichun, who was below the steps, said in a low voice, "That wine is poisonous."

Gao Huai said: "I know." His eyes stared at Xiao Jian for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "Are you sure about detoxification?"

Lin Zaichun said, "No."

Gao Huai said, "You better have it."

Lin Zaichun said: "I hope I have too."

The two talked in a low voice, Ding Wuxia was very anxious on one side, and took another tentative step forward, Zhao Yuancai didn't look back, but just waved his hand, the long knife slashed across Xiao Jian's right cheek, blood was dripping immediately, and then he re-framed When it reached Xiao Jian's neck, a thin line of blood slowly flowed out, Gao Huai's face was pale, and he stretched out his hand to grab Ding Wuxia.Ding Wuxia said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, why don't you drink a cup of wine with others like this, and don't you invite your brother-in-law to drink?"

Xiao Jian turned his head, looked at Ding Wuxia, and suddenly smiled miserably: "Old Ding! Brother-in-law, if you really recognize me as a wife and brother, you will not be able to marry a concubine in your life! You can't go out to go shopping! My sister is going to give birth to a girl. You can't dislike it! The salary and silver must be handed over to my family! Otherwise, I will not let you go!" But Zhao Yuancai made a sudden move, and turned his face back fiercely, saying: "Xiaoxiao, right now Don't look at other people anymore, you can only look at me alone!" Fingers caressed his warm and light lips inch by inch, leaned over and kissed him, very affectionate, tossing, very hard, very vicious, Xiao Jian said "huh" There was a sound, he couldn't breathe, and he was tossing and drifting until he died, but Zhao Yuancai suddenly slid down slowly and fell on his knees, and remained motionless, with a long silver needle nailed to the big hole on his back. , it was the Qihuang sage who took advantage of their passionate kiss and succeeded in sneak attacking with the needle in his sleeve.

Xiao Jian's eyes blurred for a while, he didn't care about Gao Huai and Lin Zaichun who rushed to him in an instant, he only saw Zhao Yuancai's long black hair scattered on his body, entangled in countless threads, entangled in his hair With a sinking heart, he whispered: "Your Majesty, Yuancai..." He reached out to touch Zhao Yuancai's face, but Gao Huai grabbed his hand, and then he suddenly saw Gao Huai lift up his hand with the other hand. Long sword, Xiao Jian said in shock: "No!"

Gao Huai was stunned, saw the pleading in his eyes, gritted his teeth, but still slashed down with his sword, blood splashed out and splashed on Xiao Jian's body, the spots were unbearable to see, then Lin Zaichun raised the needle and dropped it, six long needles The golden needle pierced around Xiao Jian's heart veins, and forced a few pills into his mouth.He Mian and others rushed up and dragged Zhao Yuancai aside. Xiao Jian's sanity had already been lost, and he saw Zhao Yuancai being dragged away in a daze through the blood red. In my ears, I heard a crazy call: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" There was the faint sound of weapons being exchanged, and there was a chaotic sound.

Xiao Jian's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he tilted his head, so he didn't know about this.

Eastern Qi's soldiers and horses cooperated with each other, and joined forces with the Mongolian tribes headed by Arislan on the grassland to attack from left to right. They marched into Taiyuan, the capital of Zhao State, and quickly controlled the palace.It is said that the monarch refused to surrender and was beheaded on the spot by the third prince Gao Huai.After hearing the bad news, Zhao Guo's reinforcements from all walks of life were leaderless and panicked. Within a few days, they were suppressed and incorporated one by one.

The situation has changed so much in a few days, and the world is shocked. Gao Huai is responsible for dealing with the aftermath of Taiyuan City, and he is busy day and night.He ordered that Gao Hong's soldiers and horses were not allowed to enter the city. Gao Hong was furious and came to argue with him every day.Gao Huai ignored him, or just left him aside as an excuse. Gao Hong was very angry, but he had nothing to do with him.

Gao Huai took time out of his busy schedule to tell Shen Huanhuan to rush to Luoyang to pick up Ding Wuxia's wife Xiao Yao and the fourth prince Gao Che, and asked someone to invite Xiao Xiong, the Suxian Hall Master of Jiangnan Five Great Halls who stayed in Beiyan to observe the situation, to come quickly Taiyuan.

Lin Zaichun finally found time to eat, seeing him nervously explaining this and that, he was surprised and said: "It's so busy here, the army is chaotic, you can ask my elder brother to help, let Mrs. Ding and the fourth prince What are you doing here?"

Gao Huai had been having trouble sleeping and eating for several days. Listening to his consultation, he suddenly felt extremely tired, and slowly sat down by the desk. The attendant hurriedly served him a bowl of rice, but he stretched out his hand and pushed it away.Lin Zaichun persuaded: "How can you do without food? Let's see how you look these days?"

Gao Huai put his hand on his forehead, and sighed: "I'm not hungry, I'll talk about it when I'm hungry. Alas, I'm really not the type to do this. I've been so bored these days, I really don't have the mind to deal with it. What are these messy things? When will it be finished?"

Lin Zaichun grunted and said, "It will take a long time, you have to be prepared."

Gao Huai looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to ask, "What do you think of Xiaojian? Can you still...wake up?"

When Lin Zaichun heard the words, he couldn't eat and swallowed, and sighed: "I will try my best."

Gao Huai was silent for a long time, and said for a long time: "If he can't wake up, it's fine. If God has the eyes to wake him up, I brought Mrs. Ding and Che'er over to let him open his eyes and see The person you care about the most is right in front of you, maybe...he can survive..."

Lin Zaichun glanced at him, but didn't know what to say.On that day, he gave Xiao Jian some first aid. He tossed and tossed for three days and three nights, and changed the herbal soup for detoxification twelve times.Gao Huai only waited outside the room with a pale face, but he didn't dare to come in to take a look. When he heard that the situation had finally stabilized, he staggered away. After that, he asked people to come over every day to inquire about his condition, but he never entered again. Go through the gate.

Before the meal was finished, the attendant reported that Yang Baozhen was waiting to see Gao Huai. He happened to be in no mood to eat, so he took the opportunity to come out, but saw Yang Baozhen and Nie Shihuan sitting outside the door together. Their expressions were strange. Gao Huai said: "What's wrong?"

Yang Baozhen said: "His Royal Highness, things are not very good. His Royal Highness's soldiers and horses crossed the way to Taiyuan, but Wei Mingzhen took the opportunity to send troops and went straight to Jinling. Now he has driven straight in, and he has already traveled to the vicinity of Xuzhou."

Gao Huai was stunned, frowned in thought, and said slowly: "General Xie is in charge of the overall situation in Jinling, so he should be fine. But it would be best if the soldiers and horses of Brother Da Huang retreated from Guangchang Road and pursued from behind. , but he is only concerned about the state treasury of Zhao State in Taiyuan City, so he would not listen to me. How about letting General Zhong Ruota lead his subordinates to besiege Youzhou on the Guangchang Road and force Wei Mingzhen to return to help himself. You two I will stay in this country of Zhao until the situation in various places stabilizes."

He is quite experienced in dealing with things now, but he doesn't like this kind of political affairs by nature, so there is some reluctance on his face, and he looks very impatient.Yang Baozhen and the others turned a blind eye, and promised to deal with it by themselves.

But everyone obviously underestimated the ability of that Northern Yan Emperor. Within a few days, Wei Mingzhen's soldiers and horses actually broke through the layers of defenses of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and they were invincible all the way. The army confronted each other.

When Gao Huai heard the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought it was bad.General Long Xiang, Xie Zhaoran, has been suffering from serious illness all the time, forced to lead the troops to fight, I don't know if he will be exhausted.

On one side, he was burning with worry, but on the other side, Gao Hong wrote a note on the high flag far away in Jinling, and sued him severely.Said that Gao Huai was the prince born in the first line, and he had no elder brother, so he openly bullied him and refused to allow him to enter Taiyuan.He also colluded with Yao Yuan, a big businessman of Zhao State, to control food, grass and military pay to make things difficult for him everywhere.He also said in the memorial that the country of Zhao has become a mess, and no one is in charge of the overall situation.Gao Huai also insisted not to deal with the empresses and concubines and the little princes in Zhao Yuancai's harem, obviously he was breeding tigers, and so on.

Gao Zhi has missed Taiyuan for many years, and he has already been deeply in love.Looking at the memorial, I became worried, afraid that the duck I got would be blown away by Gao Huai again, so I was anxious every day.Xie Zhaoran saw it, and in the situation where the army was overwhelming, he was afraid that something wrong with him would cause panic among the people, so he advised him to go to Taiyuan, just to avoid Beiyan's army, so as to avoid any mistakes.

So Gao Zhi took a few ministers, and under the protection of the Imperial Forest Army, he went to Xiangyang to Luoyang, all the way to Taiyuan.

Hearing the news, Gao Huai stretched out his hand to scratch his forehead, glanced at Nie Shihuan beside him, and sighed: "It's really... adding to the chaos. If you don't come, then come. Wei Mingzhen sent troops to Jinling, and the father can avoid it. After all, he is old. I'm sick, and I'm not feeling well. It's just that the emperor is gone, and the people in Jinling City seem to be panicking for a while."

Gao Zhi came here this time in micro-clothes, Prime Minister Yun Rui, Minister of War Ding Yun, little imperial physician Tao Yao, and some other officials accompanied him. Meng Xin, the commander of the inner guards, led a team of imperial guards to escort him.When Gao Huai went to the south of Taiyuan City to meet Shengjia, Gao Hong and Liang Fei had already been waiting there. Seeing Gao Ban's arrival, Gao Hong looked aggrieved, and went up to meet him first, knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Son. I have seen my father!"

Gao Huai didn't compete with him, and followed behind to salute his father. Gao Zhi looked sickly, glanced at the two of them lightly, and said, "We'll talk about it when we enter the city."

The old emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty entered Taiyuan City, and seeing the row upon row of houses, the wide and flat bluestone avenue, and the gorgeous and magnificent palace, which was two or three times larger than his own palace, he couldn't help but sincerely admired: "Splendid Taiyuan! The city really lives up to its reputation!" In an instant, the pride and ambition to look down on the world and a bit of pride rose in his chest, it's great to have such capable sons!

Gao Huai asked his father to enter the Bingde Hall for the time being, and Yun Rui and other officials followed behind, smiling at him.Seeing that Gao Ban was seated, Gao Hong hurriedly went up to him and reported: "Father, the soldiers and horses of the ministers are stationed in the north of Taiyuan City. They don't have enough food and clothing, and they don't have three meals. They are neglected. The father wants to help The servants are the masters!"
