Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2108 General Baikui ([-]) talk

Gao Wushi asked the eldest princess almost nose-to-nose: "What is it that you have to rush to talk about right now?"

"Uncle Yao has been going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning very frequently these days, and even inquired about some news through the people under his mother's subordinates."

Although the eldest princess's face was shy and flushed, there was a trace of worry between her brows, and she sighed: "Gao Lang, you know that although he has always been close to the queen mother, but these years, as the mother devoted herself to the Buddha, he became more and more sympathetic. Regardless of the affairs of court, he is actually not diligent in going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but this time he is suddenly uncharacteristic, and the direction of the court is also... I always feel that there is something hidden in it, so I want to tell you quickly."

It turned out to be this thing.Gao Wushi nodded and comforted, "He... I know what he's doing. Don't worry, he can't do anything serious."

"Really?" The eldest princess was obviously a little skeptical, and reminded: "Gao Lang, I know that you will be the chief assistant soon, and it stands to reason that no one in the court can fight against you. However, as the saying goes, it is easy to hide the hidden arrows." It's hard to prevent, although Uncle Yao may not have any bad intentions, but he is full of money... As long as someone is willing to spend money to buy him, I'm afraid he can do anything except rebellion "Gao Lang, don't take it too lightly."

Gao Wushi didn't expect that Princess Yongning would know the nature of her own uncle so well, and just based on his recent unusual behaviors, he could guess that he was doing something...obviously not good.

After a little hesitation, Gao Wushi decided to open up and said: "Well, you are right, your Uncle Yao has indeed made a lot of money recently, and what he did in it, in terms of nature, It's really serious."

Saying that, Gao Wushi no longer maintained the current ambiguous posture, but turned over and sat on the side of the bed, tilted his head and said, "Let's put it this way, if you really want to care about it, it's defined by the phrase 'conspiracy', Probably about the same.”

"Conspiracy?" The eldest princess Yongning was taken aback, she sat up straight quickly, and asked: "What happened? Although Uncle Yao has already got into the eyes of money, he should not be plotting evil. Yes!"

"Don't get me wrong, it's true that I said he was plotting against the emperor, but his plotting against the emperor is not aimed at the emperor." Gao Wushi chuckled, shook his head and said, "He is going to Kunning Palace."

These words were intended to be consoling, but Princess Yongning was even more surprised when she heard this, and said with widened eyes: "Kunning Palace? He has ill intentions for the emperor's wife? This... no way. The emperor's wife has always been easy-going and magnanimous. It is well-known in the public, although Uncle Yao and Sister-in-law Huang didn't have much contact with each other, and they also didn't have any enemies!"

After a pause, the Eldest Princess said again: "Besides, what can he do to harm the emperor's wife? The emperor's wife is the queen, and she just gave birth to a dragon son... Oh, it's broken! Could it be that he has some schemes against Chang Hao? ?!" Princess Yongning stared wide-eyed, full of panic and horror.

Gao Wushi snorted and sneered, and said, "He himself has no ill-will towards the empress, nor the emperor's son. To put it bluntly, as you said just now, he is using other people's money to help others. disaster."

The eldest princess gasped, her expression became serious, and she asked seriously: "What exactly does he want to do, and how much has he accomplished now? Gao Lang, this matter is very important, and it must not be ignored."

"I know, of course I know that it should not be ignored." Gao Wushi shook his head slightly, and said, "He collected a lot of money from some people, and then disclosed the details of the Kunning Palace's clean army change time and other matters to others."

"When is the defense change time for Kunning Palace's clean army?" The eldest princess was obviously stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How can someone pay a lot of money to buy this kind of news? Oh, I mean, what's the use of it? Could it be that someone in the capital can attack Kun?" Can Ninggong fail? This is really unbelievable."

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "It is impossible to attack Kunning Palace, but if there is collusion inside and outside, do you think it is very difficult for an uncle like you to arrange one or two assassins to enter Kunning Palace?"

"He wants to assassinate Chang Hao!" The eldest princess suddenly widened her eyes and said angrily, "Is he crazy? This is shaking the country!"

Gao Wushi sighed, and said quietly: "It stands to reason that as a subject, I really shouldn't talk too much about the family affairs of the Tian family..."

The eldest princess interrupted: "What is this called, Gao Lang, you are not an outsider, what can't you say?"

That's what you think, not what other people think.Gao Wu said sincerely.

However, Gao Wushi didn't bother to dwell on this sentence, but chose to avoid it, saying: "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know the kindness of the Empress Dowager Cisheng to him? He knows it all too well, so everyone has treated him differently over the years. Including me is no exception. And this way, it will naturally make him feel no awe in his heart, anything - as you said, as long as it is not rebellion, why would he not dare to do it?"

"Is there anything you dare not do?" Princess Yongning laughed angrily, "You dare to assassinate the crown prince?"

"First of all, at least the emperor's son is not yet the crown prince." Gao Wushi waved his hand and said, "Secondly, he himself is not the mastermind of this incident—as I said just now, he is taking money to do things, so it should be said that he is an accomplice."

"What's the difference?" Princess Yongning sneered, "It's true that Chang Hao is not yet the prince, but with his identity here, he will always be the prince sooner or later. Participating in the assassination of Chang Hao is a capital crime! Hmph , no matter how much credit he had in the past, after so many years, the empress mother and the emperor's elder brother have already paid back, and now he dares to break the taboo on this matter, he is courting death after all!"

It was the first time for Gao Wushi to see Princess Yongning speak so murderously, he couldn't help being a little surprised, looked into her eyes and said, "Yao, why are you so angry today?"

When he said this, Princess Yongning seemed to feel something was wrong, and said angrily: "I am also a mother, so naturally I can't tolerate such things."

Oh, that's what happened.

Gao Wushi understood now, nodded and said, "I see, but you don't have to get angry, as I said just now, I've noticed this, and I won't let them succeed."

Princess Yongning felt that there was something wrong with his words, and couldn't help asking: "Since you noticed it, why does it sound like you don't intend to report him?"

Gao Wushi didn't intend to hide his intention, nodded and said: "Yes, for the time being, I don't plan to report him yet."

"Why?" the eldest princess asked with a puzzled face.However, perhaps because these words came from Gao Yushi's mouth, she was just puzzled and did not show any signs of getting angry.

"It's a long story... In short, the person who really moved evil thoughts is the important minister of the foreign court, and this person... I don't feel comfortable moving him for the time being, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble." Gao Wushi frowned rarely. Wrinkled deeply, he added in a deep groan: "At least two years to go."

Princess Yongning looked at Gao Wushi suspiciously, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she had to ask tentatively: "Can you tell me what's going on?"

This kind of problem is often a proposition, but Gao Pragmatic has his own set of methods.He sighed and said, "Of course it is possible, but I don't want to tell you, because I don't want you to worry about such things."

He held Princess Yongning's hand, and said gently: "Leave these things to me. Anyway, since the late emperor told me those words before his death, I have been prepared, and I will always worry about the emperor in this life. Over the years, I have indeed done so..."

The eldest princess was moved and distressed when she heard that, she stretched out her hand to caress Gao Yushi's cheek, and said emotionally: "Gao Lang, with you by my side, the emperor is really the happiest emperor in history. I often think that even Wu Hou Zaishi, you have to admit that Gao Lang is the one who has truly dedicated himself."

That's not so, not so.Gao Wushi apologized to Prime Minister Zhuge in his heart, but he showed a wry smile on his face, and said, "Maybe, I hope the emperor thinks the same way."

This remark sounds obviously a bit wrong, Princess Yongning was surprised: "What is the meaning of Gao Lang's words, doesn't the emperor think so? No, the emperor is a sensible person, why can't he see these obvious things?" Woolen cloth?"

Gao Wushi knew that Princess Yongning had no other intentions for him, so he didn't try to cover it up, he shook his head and said, "You don't know about it. Of course, the emperor knows how much I have done, how much I have done, and even knows how much I have done. I did all this for Daming's good.

But... Sometimes things often depend not only on the starting point of my work, but also on the impact and situation created in the end. "

The eldest princess frowned and said, "What influence? What situation?"

Gao Wushi sighed: "For example, didn't you just say that I will be the chief assistant soon, and there is almost no one in the court who can be an enemy of me-this is the influence and the situation."

"Isn't this not good?" The eldest princess was very surprised, and asked: "In this way, the emperor and Gao Lang just joined hands and worked together, and no one can stop you from eliminating the evils and reforming the old traditions, is it true? Isn't it a good thing?"

Of course you think so, but how can your brother think about things as simply as you do?
Gao Wushi knew that Princess Yongning was somewhat in love, and she had been like this for so many years, otherwise how could the two of them be in such a situation today?

The brain thinking of love is completely different from that of ordinary people. They often have complete and thorough trust in the object of love.Just like the two of them now, no matter what Gao Yushi says, even if the ghosts don't believe it, she will believe it without hesitation.In short, in her eyes, Gao Pragmatism is not only perfect, but also always correct. She just needs to be responsible for believing and agreeing.

Gao Wushi deliberated for a while, and decided to change the way of expression: "Yao, you must know that although in your opinion, no matter what I do, I do it for the emperor, and the emperor thinks so too. However, the court is not only the emperor after all. With me, you have to think about what kind of association you will have when you see me in the eyes of others."

The eldest princess wondered, "What kind of association?"

Gao Yushi sighed: "What association? Naturally, Gao Yushi came from a famous family, won six first prizes in the examination, and was under the shadow of the first assistant of three generations. His official career was magnanimous, and he made countless achievements, became famous all over the world, and became famous everywhere.

This person is the party leader of the Practical School in the court, and the commander-in-chief of the Nine Sides. His family has a lot of money, and he has even been operating in the southern part of the world for many years, almost separatist.

Such people, even though they seem loyal, have to be vigilant at all times, lest if they harbor malicious intentions, they will cause cholera..."

"Nonsense, it doesn't make sense!" Princess Yongning raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said through gritted teeth, "This is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know a good heart. Don't you have to be a mediocre person to be in line with what they like? ?”

Gao Wushi chuckled and said, "That's hard to say, maybe it's true? Although mediocrity is useless, correspondingly, it can't cause much harm, right?"

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! These people are useless and know how to be jealous of the virtuous and capable. No wonder the imperial court was so poor that they couldn't even pay their official salaries! Now that the imperial court finally has Gao Lang, they not only don't want to regret themselves, but...

Hmph, I think they are just making excuses for their own incompetence, thinking that as long as the court does not have a capable minister like Gao Lang, then they can continue to be content, really shameless! "

Gao Yushi spread his hands: "In any case, there are such people, and they are not uncommon. It is impossible for the emperor to dismiss all these people, so naturally he has to let them bark and bark in some matters, even I have to agree with it against my will.”

Speaking of this, Gao Wushi gave an example: "Yao, think about it, how much the late emperor trusted my third uncle Gao Wenzheng, but there were also times when he had to compromise under the 'manchu dynasty'. The late emperor So, can today be an exception?
In the final analysis, the imperial court was jointly composed of the emperor and all the officials. Once many officials set off a stir for a certain matter or a certain person, sometimes even the emperor could only temporarily evade it. "

"Then what should we do?" Princess Yongning said worriedly: "Now Gao Lang, you have come to this point, and Brother Huang has long been accustomed to relying on your plan. If the day you mentioned really happens, it will be... It's just unimaginable."

With a heavy face, Gao Wushi nodded and said: "Yes, yes... But it is also because of this that I say that some things cannot be rushed. Just like your Uncle Yao this time, it stands to reason that he participated in such a huge case, no Severe punishment is naturally unjustifiable, but now is not the time for severe punishment.

But you don't have to worry, once my position as chief assistant is firmly established and the conditions for all parties are ripe, then naturally those who should be punished will be punished, otherwise why should the country's laws be upheld? "

Princess Yongning nodded again and again, and said: "Gao Lang thinks deeply." After a pause, he asked again: "But, what about Sister-in-law Huang and Chang Hao?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said: "Good question, this is what I want to ask you now..." He whispered in the ear of Princess Yongning.
