Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Under Li Yi's urging, Gao Yun regained his composure and announced the decree loudly.Wang Luli of Pingyuan and Wang Yuanhe of Longxi heard the decree, they were overjoyed, and shouted long live to thank them.

Li Yi was shocked, and he blurted out: "Master Gao, could it be that you corrected the order? When the last general accompanied Mr. Gao, did the Queen Mother forget all the instructions of Mr. Gao?"

Gao Yun's complexion darkened, and he shouted sharply: "Master Li, don't speak presumptuously. My decree has been announced, please obey the Queen Mother's order, and destroy the secret decree immediately!"

Li Yi wanted to wait for another debate, but seeing Gao Yun glaring at each other, he had no choice but to be ordered to burn two secret decrees on the spot in the stove of the commander-in-chief's mansion.Gao Yun said in a loud voice: "The two princes, the Queen Mother has made a secret decree to reward the two kings. This city is related to the safety of the capital. Whether it is guarded or not, the two princes will discuss again, and Gao Yun will leave!"

After Gao Yun said that, he walked out of the commander's mansion without looking back.Li Yi stood there for a while, and when he was about to go out, Longxi Wang Yuanhe called out: "General Li, please stay, I have something to ask General Li."

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.Wang Yuanhe of Longxi retreated the crowd, invited Li Yi to take a seat, and asked with a smile: "General Li, when Mr. Gao announced the decree, he hesitated for a long time. General Li also said that Mr. Gao is false, why?"

Li Yi sighed: "You two princes, there is a thin line between wealth and life. If it weren't for Mr. Gao's coercion, the heads of the two princes would have fallen to the ground at this moment. You two princes, please do your own thing and swear to guard this city. Li Yi bids farewell!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he walked out of the handsome mansion without looking back.Longxi Wang Yuanhe and Pingyuan Wang Luli looked at each other, not knowing what Li Yi meant.

The two have been in high positions for a long time, and they know that being an official is dangerous. From Li Yi's words, it seems that the queen mother's secret order is not good for them.The two kings felt uneasy, they discussed for a long time, prepared generous gifts, and rushed to Li Yi's general's residence overnight.

The two entered Li Yi's residence and presented generous gifts.Li Yi saw the two lords coming to the mansion in person and presented generous gifts, how could he dare to offend the lords because of his low position?He thought for a long time, and decided to sell a favor to the two princes.

Under the constant urging of the two princes, Li Yi sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "You two princes, when Mr. Gao left Beijing, he received two secret decrees from the Queen Mother. These two secret decrees were packed in two brocade boxes. Among them, one is red and the other is black. The Empress Dowager said that if the two princes fight to the death to defend the city, Lord Gao will read the decree of the red box, award the two princes, and allow the descendants of the two princes to inherit the inheritance."

Wang Yuanhe of Longxi had an ominous omen in his heart, and asked eagerly: "Master Li, what is the purpose of the black box given by the Empress Dowager?"

Li Yi replied: "The Empress Dowager ordered Mr. Gao to be the supervisor of the army, and coordinated the two princes to defend the city to resist King Leping's rebellion. The Empress Dowager knew that among the imperial court, the person who was qualified to be the supervisor of the army was none other than Mr. Gao. The Empress Dowager also said Lord Gao has repeatedly disobeyed the King of Pingyuan, fearing that the king of Pingyuan will not accept the orders of other emperors, and he will not be ruled by Lord Gao because of selfishness."

"The empress dowager is deeply afraid that the king of Pingyuan will ruin the country's major affairs by abolishing the government privately, so she prepared another secret decree and hid it in a black box. The empress dowager ordered the young general to hide these two secret decrees, but she could not see the decree. Only Mr. Gao can see it. Proclamation."

"The decree of the black box, the queen mother said: If the king of Pingyuan refuses to obey the restraint, Mr. Gao can act on the occasion, show the decree of the black box, kill the king of Pingyuan before the army, and Mr. Gao will take charge of his army. If the king of Longxi Yuanhe is the same, Mr. Gao can do it Be the master, run it like the king of Pingyuan."

King Pingyuan didn't think so, he went to Li Yi's mansion, but was dragged away by Longxi King, now he heard Li Yi's words, he couldn't feel his face changing.The second king was frightened in his heart, and unconsciously wiped cold sweat on his forehead.

Pingyuan Wang Lu Li tremblingly said: "General Li, why did Mr. Gao announce the decree, but to award this king and Longxi King?"

Li Yidao: "The young general didn't know the reason, and thought that Mr. Gao was pretending to be an edict. After the young general returned to the mansion, he thought deeply about the righteousness of Mr. Gao. Although Wang Su of Pingyuan had a rift with Mr. Gao, but in the face of the country's catastrophe, Mr. Gao did not rely on personal interests. Report, reverse the imperial edict and save the two adults. If the general Yi Hun returned to the army and joined the two princes in suppressing the rebellion of King Leping. I am afraid that my life will be lost because of the coercion. If the empress dowager and the emperor think about the meritorious deeds of Mr. Gao, they may pardon Mr. Gao's death crime, but they will not succeed in suppressing the rebellion."

The two kings were shocked and felt Gao Yun's righteousness even more. They bid farewell to Li Yi and could not be calm for a long time.Pingyuan Wang Lu Li said: "Longxi King, if it weren't for Mr. Gao's coercion today, both of you and I would be killed. Mr. Gao repays his grievances with virtue. I am ashamed and have no face. I want to ask the King of Longxi to accompany me to supervise the army. Once you go to the mansion, this king should take the blame to Mr. Gao!"

Longxi Wang Yuan congratulated: "Of course! This king also has the same intention, you and I will go to thank Mr. Gao for his life!"

After Gao Yun proclaimed the edict, he returned to the mansion, feeling depressed in his heart.Suddenly the doorman came to report that the two princes were coming to visit at night. After a little thought, he understood what he meant and called the doorman to welcome the two princes.

The two princes entered the entrance of Gao Yun's mansion and wanted to bow down to Gao Yun.Gao Yun hurriedly helped the two princes and said: "The two princes are very powerful, and Gao Yun is so frightened that he will kill Gao Yun with this great gift! Two princes, why are you visiting late at night? Please sit down and talk!"

The two princes thanked them again and again, and after a long while of politeness, they took their seats.Pingyuan Wang Luli said: "My lord Gao, I have the heart of a villain, but I got my lord Gao to repay my grievances with kindness, and I ended up avoiding a catastrophe. I am so ashamed, I prepared a little gift to thank my lord Gao. Both my king and the king of Longxi are grateful for the kindness of my lord Gao. I want to get rid of the previous suspicions with Mr. Gao, form the righteousness of Jinlan, repay the emperor's favor, and swear to guard this city!"

Gao Yun clasped his fists and said: "The two princes understand righteousness deeply, and it is my great Wei's blessing! Gao Yun wants to do the work of dogs and horses for the two princes, and defend this city to the death!"

Pingyuan King Lu Li said: "Lu Li was terrified, Master Gao pretended to save the king's life, but after returning to the teacher, if the queen mother and the emperor blamed Lord Gao, Lu Li and the King of Longxi would give up their military achievements and the throne, and together protect Lord Gao without any worries. !"

Gao Yun was secretly delighted, when he saw that the purpose in the black box was beyond his expectation, he understood the meaning of the Queen Mother after a little thought.After Gao Yun announced the decree, he left in a hurry and left Li Yi in the commander's mansion, so that Li Yi told the two kings with the Queen Mother's words, so that the two kings were grateful to him and defended the city desperately.

As expected by Gao Yun, the two kings came to express their thanks. Gao Yun was determined and said calmly: "If the two princes guard this city to the death and join forces with the chariot and cavalry general Yi Hun to defeat the rebels, if Gao Yun loses his life, he will die again." Why are you afraid? Although the queen mother's black box order is to punish the princes, Gao Yun believes that the two princes are the pillars of the country, so how can they kill them so easily?"

"Furthermore, the two princes are well versed in strategy and are brave and good at fighting. If you kill the prince and replace him with Gao Yun, it will be the sorrow of the country! Gao Yun is a literati, and he doesn't know how to use soldiers. How can he lead the army to defend against the enemy? Therefore, Gao Yun risked his death to save the two princes." , Now save me Dawei!"

The two kings worshiped and obeyed, and they all obeyed the teacher's words.Gao Yun immediately set up a banquet for the two kings, and made an oath with the two kings to protect the city and resist the rebels to the death.
