At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 381 Moody

The three members of Changsun Wuji's family lived in his uncle Gao Shilian's house. Now that Gao Shilian is implicated by Hu Sizheng and imprisoned, I am afraid that the sky of this family will collapse. If Qing Ruo's words are true, Yang Guang will be so crazy that even The common people who had received Yang Xuangan's food would be executed, so Gao Shilian may be in danger.

As a member of the Bohai Gao Clan, Gao Bufan couldn't just stand by and watch, whether it was for the eldest grandson Wugou's family or for Gao Shilian himself, but he had to leave tomorrow to meet Yang Guang in Qinghe County, so he couldn't get out for the time being. Ask Changsun Wuji to find out the specific situation. Fortunately, before Yang Guang returns to Luoyang, the Ministry of Punishment should not execute the prisoner, right?

But Yang Guang is now in a rage, and I'm afraid it's not easy to go the way of King Yue. The best way is to dispel Yang Guangda's idea of ​​killing. Will Yang Guang listen to his advice?If I can't do it, I will get burned and put myself in it.

Gao Bufan lay on the bed tossing and turning, pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of a proper solution, so he had to react accordingly.

In the early morning of the second day, Gao Bufan put on the "warm brand" new clothes that Yang Qingruo had prepared for him and rushed to Shangshu Province. Fan Zigai had already prepared everything, and the welcoming team of nearly 300 people left Luoyang in a mighty manner. Rush to Linqing Wharf in Qinghe County to meet Yang Guang.

Yang Qingruo's jealousy probably hasn't passed yet, and she was unwilling to talk to Gao along the way, until the welcoming team arrived at the Linqing Canal Wharf in Qinghe County, the hard-mouthed and soft-hearted girl Qing took the initiative to find Gao Bufan, and reminded Gao Bufan with a sullen face. Said: "The emperor's dragon boat will arrive here in three days. Don't talk too much when you see the emperor, and don't raise Shilian's affairs. It will only hurt him. Someone from the Fanyang Lu family has already been beheaded and abandoned the market for pleading for the prisoner. Already!"

Gao Bufan was taken aback, and blurted out, "Who?"

Yang Qingruo said: "Gaoyang Princess Bo Lu Bingzhen."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I don't know, who did Mr. Lu intercede for?"

"Li Zixiong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, participated in the rebellion, and the wife of Li Zixiong's second son is the daughter of the patriarch of Fan Yang's Lu family. Lu originally planned to intercede for Li Zixiong through Empress Xiao, but the emperor ignored it. Fan Yang's Lu family did not know how to advance or retreat. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's visit to Gaoyang County, the owner of Gaoyang County, Bo Lu Bingzhen, pleaded with the emperor. In a rage, the emperor beheaded Lu Bingzhen and abandoned the market. I'm afraid Li Zixiong has become a new ghost under the sword."

Gao Bufan couldn't help but gasped, Yang Guang was really crazy, so no one would dare to intercede for the prisoner in front of Yang Guang again!
Yang Qingruo glanced at Gao Bufan with a wonderful eye, the meaning of warning was even strong, and he probably guessed that Gao Bufan planned to take the opportunity of picking up Gao Shilian to intercede for Gao Shilian, so he took precautionary measures in advance to prevent this guy from losing his life in vain .

Gao Bufan felt warm in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Thank you Qingruo for reminding me!"

Yang Qingruo gouged someone Gao with those bright eyes that could speak, and then turned around and walked away.

The weather was not beautiful, and on the evening of the third day, there was a continuous autumn rain, and it rained intermittently for two days, but there was no intention of stopping, and the dragon boat that Yang Guang was riding on appeared on the Linqing pier on the fifth day , two days later than expected.

Of course, even if Yang Guang was late for ten days and a half months, no one dared to ask him why he was not punctual. At this moment, the welcoming team headed by Fan Zigai was lined up respectfully in the misty autumn rain to welcome the arrival of the holy driver.

Yujia's fleet is very large. In addition to the dragon boat that Yang Guang himself was riding on, there are thousands of ships of different sizes accompanying him. A line of dozens of miles is lined up on the canal, and there are also escorting troops on both sides of the canal. It is very spectacular!

The dragon boat that Yang Guang was riding on was the most exaggerated. Even in modern times, it could be regarded as a giant ship. It was more than 200 feet long, or 60 meters, fifty feet wide, and 45 feet high. It had four floors. The upper floor is divided into the main hall and the east and west halls. There are 120 rooms in the middle two floors. The decoration is extremely luxurious. Inside are all the accompanying concubines and maids, while the bottom floor is the place where the eunuchs live. There are as many as tens of thousands of people who are responsible for pulling the fibers in such a huge boat, which is really staggering.

Finally, the dragon boat docked, but Yang Guang did not disembark, but sent an eunuch to disembark to inform Gao Bufan and others to board the boat.

Ever since, Gao Bufan was very honored to set foot on Yang Guang's top "cruise ship". Unfortunately, he was not allowed to walk around and visit freely, so he had to follow the eunuch's guidance to directly board the topmost deck of the dragon boat.

The upper floor of the dragon boat is divided into the main hall and the east and west halls. The accompanying ministers have to board the boat to pay respects to Yang Guang every day. The minister will be received in the main hall.

Let’s say that Fan Zigai, Gao Bufan and others came to the uppermost floor of the dragon boat, and under the guidance of the eunuch, they arrived at the Dongchao Hall. As soon as they stepped in, Gao Bufan felt that the atmosphere was very oppressive. Diligent.

At this moment, the misty autumn rain was still falling, and the sky was gloomy. Yang Guang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a gloomy complexion than the sky outside, bags under his eyes were slightly blue, and there were two oblique wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which made him The originally gloomy eyes had a bit of ferocity, if it wasn't for Empress Xiao who was sitting next to him, who was watching the smoke and charming, to talk about the tense atmosphere, everyone present would probably be as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles.

At this time, the ministers in the hall included Nayan Suwei, Huangmen servant Pei Ju, Yushi doctor Pei Yun, Zhuguo Li Min, Yi Guogong Li Hun, internal history servant Yu Shiji, and Tang Guogong Li Yuan.These court chiefs held their breath at the moment, not daring to breathe out.

There is no way, recently Yang Guang's temper has become worse and worse, and he has become more and more suspicious. Everyone looks like a traitor, killing people at every turn, cutting hands, feet, and ears is considered light. Just yesterday, a A eunuch secretly drank half a jug of leftover wine left over when the emperor and his concubine were having fun, and was disemboweled and hung up on a pole to show the public. Yang Guang also said at the time: "Even this kind of eunuch wants to sit on the dragon chair." Drink royal wine, what about the others?"

As soon as Yang Guang said this, all the ministers were terrified. They hurriedly clamped their buttocks and behaved honestly. It was a torment to be with Yang Guang every day. Even Su Wei, who had always been known for his integrity and outspokenness, also She closed her mouth tactfully, and chose to be wise and protect herself, so as not to touch Yang Guang's bad luck!

Li Yuan is even worse, and now he still has lingering fears, because he caught a bad cold a few days ago and needed to rest in bed, so he didn't board the boat to pay homage, Yang Guang was very unhappy, so he asked his concubine Wang, "Why doesn't your uncle come to pay homage? "

This concubine surnamed Wang is Li Yuan's niece. Hey, Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, but Li Yuan's niece has become Yang Guang's concubine. The relationship is not ordinary!

It is said that Wang hurriedly told Yang Guang that his uncle Li Yuan had typhoid fever and was resting in bed, so he did not come to worship. As a result, Yang Guang said coldly: "Then your uncle is dying of illness?"

When Li Yuan learned about it, he broke into a cold sweat on the spot, but after sweating, half of his illness was recovered. The next day, he hurriedly boarded the boat to worship and plead guilty!
