Chapter 763 Going upstairs

Upon hearing Marquis Gao Yuan's name, several people present had their hearts beat like drums.

Prince Chun pursed his lips, thinking: This is indeed what happened. Your Majesty, it is natural for you to plot against those who threaten you. Why should everyone plot against you? Those who are loyal to you, beneficial to you, or worthy of winning over, you make all your plans and eat them up, wouldn't it chill the hearts of everyone?

But it was only because he was familiar with Marquis Gao Yuan that he felt aggrieved for her. If he really wanted to be aggrieved, the Imperial Master had not spoken yet. How come the Imperial Master is not considered a human being, so does he deserve to be plotted against?

But except for insiders like Chun Wang, when most people heard Gao Yuanhou's name, they only thought: Huh? Is it her again?

Gao Yuanhou's name has a real presence tonight. After the Queen Mother finished asking, the Emperor asked. There was a feeling that even though he was not here, his legend was everywhere in the world.

As an emperor and a courtier, Marquis Gao Yuan is already a generation ago. Although some of those here are quite old, after several changes in the court situation, most of them entered the center even later than Marquis Gao Yuan left the court. Marquis Gao Yuan no longer has any specific impression, only the impression of his identity as "Governor of Yunzhou". Only when he heard Marquis Gao Yuan mentioned twice and three times did he think in his mind: What kind of big shot is this person, so important?

The emperor pondered: "Marquis Xun... what can she do?"

Master Chongmeng bowed and said fluently: "Marquis Gao Yuan's sword is accelerated enough to allow His Majesty to quickly accept the Imperial Guards into the seal without delaying for a long time. If you recruit the Imperial Guards a moment earlier, you can save some of his strength. It can also save some of his sanity. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid there will be no national master in the world."

The emperor immediately said: "How can this be done? Of course we must save the Imperial Preceptor. I can't live without the Imperial Guard, and the Jin Dynasty can't live without the Imperial Guard! Where is Marquis Xun? Go and invite her!"

Everyone looked at each other, and someone said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Gao Yuan is ill and will come to Jinding Tower..."

At this time, Master Chong Meng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Gao Yuan didn't come, not because she missed the deadline intentionally, but because she was detained by someone."

The emperor hurriedly asked: "Who is it? Who is so bold as to detain Marquis Xun?"

Master Chongmeng said: "It is King Shou."

Wang Fei was shocked and thought to himself: Damn it, is this okay?

King Shou was dumbfounded and shouted: "What? Why is she at my place? Who said..."

He reacted and stared at Zhongmeng Zhenren.

Master Chong Meng's eyes were sharp and his tone was stern, and he said: "Your Highness, Prince Shou, it is useless to deny it now. Your conspiracy can't be hidden in front of His Majesty. Handing over Marquis Gao Yuan now can still be regarded as a meritorious service to the country. How much does it count?" Use your merits to atone for your sins. Otherwise, if the person is found in a search, the prince's sin will be huge."

King Shou stared at Zhenren Chongmeng, then suddenly turned his head to stare at the emperor, and finally shook his head and said: "I lost, I have been tricked by you. You can do whatever you say. Go and search for Marquis Gao Yuan. "

Now, he finally realized who was behind the plan to plot against the Imperial Master according to King Shun's plan, but it was already too late.

The emperor also knew that he had seen it, but so what? He said: "Uncle Wang is unwilling to take the initiative to forgive. Could it be that he is still lucky? Go to the uncle's house to search for people and rescue Marquis Xun quickly. Don't hurt her."

Someone had already taken the order, including the emperor's guards and people from the Dao Palace, and rushed to Prince Shou's Mansion to search for people. At this time, another young eunuch presented a jade box and said, "Your Majesty, I have brought the Xingtian Seal."

It stands to reason that the Xingtian Seal is placed in Da Nei, and this is the suburbs of Beijing, so it shouldn't be possible to get it so quickly. This job is a bit rough. But even the smartest people today don't bother with these details. The emperor took it, opened the jade box, and took out a seal.

The seal is only about the size of a fist. As a seal, it is certainly not small, but as a national treasure, it is very small. It does not look like it is made of jade. It is very crystal clear, and there seems to be a dense blue ball rolling inside. , seems to be thunder and lightning, but it is far more mysterious than thunder and lightning. It seems to be the essence of thunder and lightning concentrated ten thousand times, which has advanced from celestial phenomena to heaven.

Seeing this Xingtian Seal and the power in it, everyone became somewhat certain: this Xingtian Seal probably had the same origin as the Imperial Master. Xing Tianxi is higher than the national teacher.

The emperor held the Xingtian Seal, looked up at the flickering lightning pillar above his head, and said: "National Master, hold on, I'm coming!"

His tone is so firm and his feelings are so sincere. Who wouldn't be moved after hearing this?

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs, and someone said: "Marquis Gao Yuan is here!"

Everyone turned their heads after hearing this, wanting to see what such an important figure looked like.

Then, everyone saw a group of guards surrounding them, and a little Taoist priest in the middle walked up supporting an old lady.

This old lady... is really old.

The first thing everyone saw was that even if they saw the candle in the wind, it would be extinguished at any time. The old lady had snow-white hair and a thin figure. She walked unsteadily. It seemed that with the slightest bump, she would fall down and never get up again.

Moreover, her eyes were still closed, and she was walking unsteadily, partly because of weakness, and partly because she could not see, so she had to move forward tentatively.

Marquis Gao Yuan?

Is it her?

A blind old lady?

Can she save the national master? Why does she still need someone to save her?

When the emperor saw Gao Yuanhou coming up, his expression changed slightly. It seemed that he had not expected that she would be like this. He felt very sad and walked over on his own initiative. He said: "Xunhou, how can you... be like this? How is your health? Who did this? Are you like this?"

As he spoke, he went to help Gao Yuanhou. Zhenren Chongmeng hurriedly stepped forward and gestured gently to block him: Even if Gao Yuanhou has reached this point, she is still a top swordsman, and in order to use her immediately, he did not restrict her power too much. The emperor It's better not to get too close to me with your small body.

The emperor followed the good example and turned around to glare at King Shou and shouted: "King Shou, I know that you and Marquis Xun are not on good terms, but how can you treat a loyal hero of the country like this? You have done a great sin!"

King Shou sneered: You can say whatever you want, as much as you like. The emperor said to Marquis Gao Yuan again: "Xun Aiqing, I'm late."

Marquis Gao Yuan was very calm and said: "Is the emperor here? The emperor is indeed safe."

The emperor sighed: "Xun Aiqing is in prison and still misses me. It is a blessing for the country to be so loyal and good." He seemed to be very excited and poured out all kinds of good words for free. As an emperor, his attitude was a bit too low. .

At this time, Marquis Gao Yuan should have said a few polite words: "I don't dare to do it" and "This is what I should do", but Marquis Gao Yuan was always quiet, as if he was a prop on the stage.

Her lack of cooperation was very rude, and it was not in line with her situation of being "just rescued from imprisonment by the emperor." Some people in the crowd were angry, but then they thought: What are you talking about with this old lady who has buried her eyebrows in shame? Seeing that she was going to die at any moment, why did she care about the things in the world? Even if you are not afraid of death, is this not invincible?

The emperor stopped his meaningless comfort, took a deep look at her, and said: "Hou Xun, it was a pity that I couldn't get your long-term assistance back then, and it also delayed the fate of the country. Now I have one more thing to ask you to do. You are so sick. , I can’t bear it.”

He looked at Gao Yuanhou, as if waiting for her to express her position. He knew she would agree - everything had been communicated beforehand.

Sure enough, Marquis Gao Yuan said: "Since there is still something to be done with a broken body, it is better than doing nothing. A general must return with his body wrapped in horse leather. Thank you Your Majesty for this."

The emperor always felt that she was a bit yin and yang, but when he thought that she was probably a dying bird and her cries were mournful, he was generous and didn't care.

At that moment, he held the seal in his hand and raised it high to the sky. The blue mist in the seal immediately started to move.

Before everyone could see the blue track clearly, the blue light lit up, extremely bright!

A mighty air pressure spreads out from near to far!

Before, there were two kinds of auras floating on the Golden Cauldron Tower. One was the aura of Taizu, which was solemn and noble, and the other was the thunder and lightning of the Imperial Master, which was violent and destructive. Both of them had such power that they could make all living beings unable to lift their heads.

However, the power emanating from the Xingtian Seal is a combination of the two, which is several times greater. It is both extremely fearful and extremely admirable.

Those are the two general trends of the country's destiny - prestige and power!

The authority of the imperial court has been lacking for many years, and its majesty relies on the pressure of the imperial master. The emperor is just sitting on the high platform in name. After the Xingtian Seal is lit up, the supreme authority seems to have returned to the emperor's supreme authority at this moment. In hand!

At this moment, more than one person in the crowd had the same thought as Wang Fei:

Perhaps, this is a hero worth following?

Everyone can feel the mighty power, but it is indeed invisible. Following the emperor's order, the lightning pillar on the mountain above seems to have been ordered and has a tendency to move downward.

Of course, this is just a trend now. The lightning beam did not move, but tilted slightly. This trend looked quite dangerous, and it was almost a sign of collapse.

Although they were still far away, the nobles watching on the stage stopped breathing. They automatically imagined the scene after the lightning pillar collapsed, which was simply unimaginable.

You can't do this, Emperor, think of a way!

At this time, Master Chongmeng shouted at the right time: "The thunder light is delayed, Marquis Gao Yuan, it's your turn. Open your eyes, all you need to do is open your eyes!"

Marquis Gao Yuan said calmly: "Can you just open your eyes? Do you want me to take out the sword?"

Master Chongmeng shouted: "How dare you be rude in front of His Majesty? Marquis Gao Yuan, you are also an old minister, how can you be like this..."

At this time, the emperor smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If you have a sword, you just need to help me take back the imperial master. Can I still not trust a loyal and loyal minister like Gao Yuanhou?"

It's not that he trusts Gao Yuanhou, but he thinks that with the Xingtian Seal in his hand and the body-protecting spiritual light, he can become a swordsman. Is he afraid of Gao Yuanhou, a mere swordsman?

Of course, he also believed that Marquis Gao Yuan would not take action. This is a caring person and a loyal minister who can be less defensive and less considerate.

Marquis Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and held an eyeball in his hand. At first glance, it looked like an eyeball, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be jade.

In an instant, the jade eyes lit up smoothly and twisted into the shape of a sword!

At this time, she silently recited two words in her heart: "Simultaneity!"
