The newly-appointed General Youwei will come to meet the emperor to report his duties in the near future. He has been promoted continuously in a short period of time. People inside and outside the palace have begun to talk about the rumored figure. Whether it is in the aisle, in the garden, or...
In the temple and the hall, everyone showed special concern for this famous figure who had never met before.
"After hearing that this is the wife of Gao, a famous general of our dynasty?"
"He didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he showed up at this time. What does he want to do? He wants to take credit from us..."
"I have never heard that Gao Zhen had an heir. I think there are many rumors that are untrue. But even so, that guy has neither the surname of Wang nor a business name. He comes from a humble background, has no outstanding character, and is not a talented person. Why?
How could De have been promoted to this level in just two months?"
"Keep your voice down, he's coming!"
Bai Feng, carrying a steel helmet and wearing silver armor, rustled past. On the way to the court, he bumped into officials who were discussing among themselves.
"General Bai Feng, General Bai Feng..."
"I have met the general."
The princes suddenly changed their faces and rushed forward, crowding in front of Bai Feng and vying to raise their hands in greeting. They opened their eyes wide and winked to show their smiles, as if they were afraid that their appearance would not be seen clearly.
"I've met you all." Bai Feng nodded, but didn't look at anyone. He raised his hand to open a path and slowly walked away. Sure enough, as soon as he left, everyone here started talking again.
"This young man is young and energetic, how dare he not accept our favor?"
"You are so rude, how can you be a descendant of General Gao Zuo!"
"Having such lowly common people in high positions is a sign that the building is about to collapse. We must inform the emperor and get rid of the evildoers."
After a moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, look! Is he staring at us?!"
But I saw Bai Feng standing boldly at the end of the aisle, like a white eagle that had been waiting for a long time, admiring the graceful posture of its prey. It did not show its fangs, but there was an atmosphere of chilling in it.
All the officials realized it later and began to bow their hands to Bai Feng in greeting. No one dared to look directly at him.
"Ha." He smiled, and his smile was so natural that it made people's hair stand on end.
Entering the hall, Bai Feng was directed to sit on the same side as Prince Gao Yang, General Gao Gao, Murong An and other generals, and then exchanged a few words with his colleagues.
"It is said that General Bai Feng has come forward to see you!" the great eunuch Mei Lin summoned.
Bai Feng followed the order, walked to the center of the hall and knelt down on one knee to listen to the order.
"General Bai Feng has served many times in escort. It happened that the right guard General Huangfu was seriously ill, so he came up with the idea of ​​restoring the old official system and combining the 'left and right guards' into the 'central guard'. I hope General Bai Feng will not accept my advice.
"Please." Above a dozen steps, behind the beaded curtain, there were two solemn figures.
"Thank you, Lord!" This is Bai Feng's first court meeting. Everyone's eyes are on him. Although he has done all the courtesy to the emperor, for some reason, most of the people around him look at him with cold eyes and malicious intentions.
.
Before he finished speaking, a minister came forward to admonish him: "Your Majesty, wait a minute! I have heard that General Bai Feng has made great contributions, but I don't know where he came from? Where is his hometown? Why is he so important? Now that the war with the Zhou Dynasty has failed, the two countries have failed.
There are countless detailed correspondences, and I hope your majesty can clear up my doubts."
At this time, another figure behind the curtain also answered: "To be fair to Your Majesty, I also want to know."
"General Gao Gao, please clear up your doubts."
The hussar general stood up and kowtowed, and immediately explained to everyone: "During the rebellion in the Seven Towns, your majesty obeyed the people and raised the flag to start the uprising. General Gao Fu took orders to guard the rear and risked his life to protect your majesty's family and break out of the siege. Finally,
There is still a group of elite troops left behind, and that is the Gao Family Army! And this General Bai Feng is the orphan of General Gao Zuo."
"But why doesn't General Gao Zuo's orphan have a surname of 'Gao' and no business name? I ordered the historian to look through the genealogy, but he didn't find that General Gao Zuo had any heirs." The minister stepped forward and asked, "Could it be a forgery?
Identity, confuse Your Majesty?"
He scolded in a high and angry voice: "Shang Shuling, you are so brave!"
"General Gao Gao..." A woman's voice came from behind the curtain. She said slowly: "Explain carefully and don't be rude in front of everyone."
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen, let's talk about this..." Bai Feng stopped in front of Gao Gao, and everyone was shocked. Facing the minister, he said righteously: "I am the son of a borer, and I have a precious sword."
The dragon's cry is proof!"
"The son of a borer?" After hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The minister came forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the defeat of Guan Yunchang in Maicheng in the past was all caused by Liu Feng, the son of the Liu family. This is an ominous sign for our great Qi! Please take a closer look, your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!" All civil and military officials knelt down and remonstrated in unison. Only Gao Gao stood in the center, in a dilemma.
"This, this, this..." At this time, another hussar general Murong An also came to give advice and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Royal Highness the Queen, I see that General Bai Feng is very promising at a young age and has made great achievements.
You must not abandon it just because of such supernatural things. How will such an act make the wise people in the world feel?"
The emperor remained silent.
Empress Gao rolled up the bead curtain and slowly leaned out, then walked down the hall to the center, her steps were light and her age was not visible: "General Bai Feng."
"I'm here." Bai Feng knelt down to listen to the order.
"Are you really my brother, the adopted son of General Gao Zhen?" Queen Gao asked.
"What I said is from the bottom of my heart. The sun and the moon can tell you what I said. I am willing to swear by the sword 'Dragon's Cry'. If I lie, I am willing to die by the sword." Bai Feng held up the sword with both hands, posing as if he was ready to be dealt with.
attitude.
In fact, the civil and military officials did not suspect that he was a craftsman, nor did they change their views or look at him just because of such joking remarks as "son of a borer".
They have always been afraid.
If there is such a person, his parents are not officials, his family has no land, and he has not been recommended by famous people, but in the end he becomes a high-ranking official. If more and more similar people appear in the future, then these people will
Take away the titles, official positions and salaries of the current high officials.
"Clang!" The Longming Sword was suddenly unsheathed, and its sharp sword cry echoed in the hall for a long time.
Empress Gao held a sword in her hand and murmured something: "General Bai Feng, I hope you can inherit General Gao Zuo's legacy in the future and swear to defend your family and country to the death. I believe that my brother will still miss this until the last moment of his life."
matter."
After hearing this, all the civil and military officials were speechless. "Since the mother of the country has approved it, how can we disobey it?" they thought to themselves.
Bai Feng had never experienced such a grand moment in his life. His palms were covered in sweat. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was actually feeling uneasy because revealing his true identity was not part of his plan...
He raised his head and glanced at Gao Gao. After getting his permission, he moved his eyes to Queen Gao. She was wearing a purple dress with embroidery on the sleeves and collar. The texture of the clothes was very light. Her makeup was simple and elegant, showing the marks of time.
He gently scratched her forehead, her eyes were dry but not confused, her lowered eyebrows showed her motherly glory; when she nodded slightly, you could almost catch a glimpse of her girlish posture.
At this moment, Bai Feng felt a little moved and almost shed tears.
He took the sword and said: "Your Majesty Baifeng, I am willing to follow General Gao Zuo's legacy to the death!"
After the court meeting, all the gentlemen dispersed.
New rumors arrive unexpectedly, and Bai Feng, the son of Boer, has unknowingly stepped into a fatal trap.
