The Gao family has been a prominent official for generations. Gao Shilian's grandfather, Gao Yue, was a member of the Northern Qi clan. He was deeply trusted and used by his brother Gao Huan, the Northern Qi Shenwu Emperor. He made great military achievements. When the Northern Qi Dynasty was established, Gao Yue served as General of Hussars, Sizhou Mu, and was granted the title of Qinghe.
He was the king of the county and was later granted the title of Taibao. The Gao family became famous throughout the Northern Qi Dynasty.
However, Xianyu had a strong temperament, and in his early years Gao Shilian was demoted to Qiongzhou to serve as an official, leaving Xianyu to take care of his mother and children in Beijing, so he made great contributions to the Gao family. Gao Shilian was always grateful for his kindness, treated him as a guest, and never said anything bad.
relatively.
Such merciless reprimands have not happened for many years...
Xianyu has a stubborn personality. He raised his eyebrows immediately when he heard this, and said in a cold tone without giving in: "What's wrong with you? You lose your temper for no reason. Do you really think that I am old and shabby and can't compare to those flowers in the backyard?"
The pretty and charming girl, do you feel annoyed when you see me?"
Gao Shilian looked sullen and shouted coldly: "Stop talking about those nonsense, and don't mess around in front of someone. Let me ask you, what did you say at Fang's house today?"
Faced with Gao Shilian's angry look, Xian Yu felt a little guilty. This was a situation he had not seen in many years, and it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. However, every quarrel over the years ended with Gao Shilian giving way, which made
Xianyu's temper is getting worse, how can he be willing to be scolded for no reason at this moment?
Immediately he said in a sharp voice: "It's just some petty remarks about a woman's opinion of parents. How can you, the right servant of the minister, be so nosy?"
Gao Shilian was very angry: "Nothing? Do you know that just what you call "nothing" has pushed the entire Gao family into a dangerous situation. It is easy to get involved in such things as fighting for the reserve? If you win, you will never get involved.
The descendants of Longzhi Gong are prosperous, but if we lose, we will fall into a situation of no return! I have been working with your Majesty for half my life, and have won your Majesty's trust. The saints of the Gao family have already enjoyed endless benefits, so why take such risks to fight for that?
Waiting for vanity?”
What he said made Xian Yu look confused, and said curiously: "I just told the rumors between Princess Changle and Fang Jun in front of all the princesses in the Fang family, in order to force Fang Jun and Princess Changle to take action.
Come and eliminate the rumors, so that Qiu Shenji can have the opportunity to marry Princess Changle. After all, I can't ignore the child Shenji begging me, right? Besides, those rumors originated from the market, whether they are true or false, they are not
I made it up, and what does it have to do with the fight for the throne?"
Gao Shilian was so angry that his beard trembled and he was speechless.
An ignorant and foolish woman, no matter how strong-willed and well-run her family is, she is still ignorant when she leaves this deep house and compound. She has no understanding of the twists and turns in this court situation. She has to help count the money confidently after being sold...
He did not bother with Xian Yu's attitude, nor did he care whether she could understand the mystery. He just asked with a cold face: "Is this your own intention, or did Qiu Shenji encourage you to do this?"
Gao Shilian has always been mild-tempered. It is a strange thing that the left and right servants of the Tang Empire, who are the top officials in the Tang Dynasty, have the same temperament. But at this moment, the anger in his heart is boiling. What a Qiu Shenji, so good
A eldest grandson, Wuji, is plotting against me, Gao Shilian?
When Xian Yu saw Gao Shilian getting more and more angry, she was naturally frightened secretly, and couldn't help but restrain her temper. Hearing this, she said honestly: "It was Da Lang and Shen Ji who came to beg, saying that as long as the matter is cleared up in this way, Princess Changle
She must have no face to stay in the palace anymore, so she has no choice but to marry. Only in this way can she have a chance... But this matter is just that the talented young man Mu Ai wanted to marry Princess Changle back home, and he was competing with him for the heir apparent.
What's the matter?"
Gao Shilian said angrily: "You are so stupid!"
But instead of scolding Xian Yushi, he scolded his own son angrily...
Changsun Wuji wanted to support Jin Wang Li Zhi in his fight for the throne. Gao Shilian had long been aware of this. Changsun Wuji had tried to get him to join the gang many times, either overtly or secretly, but he had always shied away. Gao Shilian had also been dissatisfied with the prince in the past.
, so he secretly supported Wei King Li Tai in his bid for the throne. However, after Wei King Li Tai went to the Western Regions to quell the rebellion, Gao Shilian gradually changed his mind.
No matter Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or even Li Zhi, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, won't the Gao family still enjoy the wealth and glory in peace? Even if they support which prince succeeds in ousting the prince, the Gao family will
What benefits can be gained?
He is already a very human minister, if he goes further... it may not be a good thing.
But obviously his son had different ideas from his own, and he could settle down and be content with the status quo, but Gao Jingcheng wanted to compete for the merit of being a slave to the dragon. He even went so far as to lie to his mother to seduce Princess Changle and Princess Changle.
The scandal between Fang Jun and Fang Jun broke out, which made the emperor angry with Fang Jun and demoted him from the capital, thus cutting off the most powerful help of the prince.
Gao Shilian didn't want to care about this, so he could fight if he wanted to. But involving the Gao family in this way really made him extremely angry. Changsun Wuji fell out of favor with his majesty, and he wanted to regain his former glory. This was completely
It is understandable, but Changsun Wuji's insidious plan made the Gao family stand on the opposite side of the Fang family and put a mark on His Majesty's heart of competing for the heirloom, which Gao Shilian was absolutely unwilling to accept.
Glancing at his unhappy old wife, Gao Shilian couldn't bear to be harsh. She was just a prostitute, how could she recognize such sinister intentions? What's more, the one who lured her in was his good nephew, Sun Wuji...
Gao Shilian sighed and said helplessly: "I don't want to lose my temper with you, but this matter is really too important. You should discuss it with me at least. It involves a princess and Fang Xuanling's son. How can I get angry with you?"
How can you act so abruptly? This matter has a great impact. You should not go out and walk around recently, stay at the house for a few days to reflect, and wait until the matter is over before talking about it."
Xian Yushi obviously realized that he had done something stupid, and said angrily: "This assistant is really too much, he actually deceived me like this... But this child Shenji is really sincere towards Princess Changle, and the Qiu family is kind to our family.
Changle is our junior, so if we can arrange this marriage, it will be a great blessing."
Gao Shilian said angrily: "Are you confused? Now that there are rumors about Chang Le and Fang Jun, who can be sure that these two people really have no affair? Qiu Shenji knew these rumors but still wanted to marry him.
Changle, it is clearly because of Changle's identity and His Majesty's favor. Which man can tolerate his wife having an affair with another man without minding it? Although the Qiu family is kind to me, I have taken care of Qiu Xinggong in many ways over the years.
, I have almost repaid what is due, how can I go out into this muddy water for Qiu Shenji, who has ulterior motives? Once everything goes wrong after Changle's marriage, do you think His Majesty will not point his finger at me and get angry? You are really ignorant.
Foolish woman, I warn you, never mention this matter again from now on!"
Xianyu knew that he had done something stupid, so he had to respond calmly, but he was still unhappy in his heart.
*****
Zhaoguofang, the residence of the Prince of Jin.
After the wedding, His Majesty Li Er gave this magnificent mansion to Jin Wang Li Zhi. The entire mansion occupies half of Zhaoguofang, and is adjacent to Wulu Temple in the south. The pavilions and buildings in the mansion are gorgeous and extravagant, but they are only compared to the palace where King Li Tai of Wei lived.
The mansion in Yankangfang is slightly inferior.
After the Fang family attended the banquet, Changsun Wuji went directly to the Jin Palace.
Above the main hall, King Li Zhi of Jin occupies the first seat, Changsun Wuji sits on his left hand side, and Princess Wang of Jin is accompanying him on the other side.
Li Zhi was a little nervous, his delicate little face tightened, he looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "Is there something inappropriate about what my uncle did...? Speaking of which, although Fang Jun is occasionally disrespectful towards me, he has never been disrespectful to me.
I have no intention of being arrogant, but I have always regarded this king as my closest relative. It is a bit unkind to expel him from the capital like this..."
Changsun Wuji raised his eyelids and remained silent for a while.
He really wasn't sure what the young-faced Prince Jin in front of him was thinking...
Although he never explicitly competed for the crown prince, he gave up on the King of Wei and stayed away from the prince, but he chose to get closer to him and promoted his close confidants one after another. Could it be that this kid still couldn't understand his intentions?
Making the matter between Fang Jun and Princess Changle worse, causing Fang Jun to be angered by His Majesty and then demoted from the capital, was a strategy to cut off the crown prince's wings. Did this kid realize it?
If you are really ignorant and ignorant, is it a bit useless for you to choose this person to assist you?
And if you pretend to be confused while pretending to understand, then this person’s scheming is really deep and unpredictable. While you are trying your best to assist him, you must also take strict precautions. Don’t support him with one hand and then turn around and bite him.
Swallowed...
For the first time, Changsun Wuji felt chilled in front of the young and immature King of Jin Li Zhi.
