Emperor Sui Yang

"And Gao Lande is my younger brother. If his identity is revealed, he will be killed,"

Gao Yue said softly: "I hope His Highness can help me settle him down. I think he is alive, even if he lives like a beast."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yue took out a note, put it on the table, and pushed it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming knew the contents of the note a long time ago. When she was in Jingzhou, Chen Shuyi saw the contents of the note when she saw the right opportunity.

"Golland is in my hands."

Just a few words, at that time Yang Ming asked Pei Ju to help him search, and basically locked on a servant in Yang Su's mansion.

But it's obvious that Yang Su doesn't plan to have a showdown with Yang Ming at the moment, that is to say, Yang Su won't hand him over now.

Yang Ming pushed the note back and asked, "Do you know who owns Gao Lande?"

"If this concubine knows, I won't have to ask His Highness," Gao Yue said, "When my brother-in-law appeared in front of me, that's when I offered the broken horn of the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom with both hands."

Yang Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. Since I know that the thing is with you, are you not afraid that I will use torture to extract a confession?"

"If torture is useful, the last king of Qin would have done it," Gao Yue said, taking out a dagger from his sleeve.

"If someone uses force, the only thing I can do is die. I will never leave this dagger. It has been more than 30 years. I don't want to live in fear all day long." Then, Gao Yue put the dagger on the table and pushed it to Yang Ming. ,road:
"After all, I have lived in the palace for five years. I already know what your Highness is like from Shuyi. Although I knew from the beginning that Shuyi was a spy sent by His Highness, it doesn't affect me. Treat Shuyi as a younger sister."

Yang Ming didn't pick up the dagger, but pushed it back and said with a smile, "So, when Shuyi saw this note, you did it on purpose?"

Gao Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am a commoner, it is impossible to find out the whereabouts of my brother, so I can only borrow His Highness's hand. I have already said everything. Is there anything Your Highness wants to tell me?"

Yang Ming and Gao Yue are not familiar with each other, so they don't think that she is a very smart person because she can see through Shuyi, but she has been cautious all the year round. After all, the secret hidden in her is too big.

Gao Yue's last question was held back for a long time, because Yang Ming knew the content of the note when he was in Jingzhou, so he must start investigating Gao Lande's whereabouts from then on. Years passed and there was no movement, Gao Yue must be impatient.

Yang Ming said indifferently: "The matter is more complicated. I can only tell you that Gao Lande is living well and will not have any problems for the time being. But it is not so easy for me to bring him back."

"What about in the future? Is it possible for His Highness to bring him back in the future?" Gao Yue asked anxiously.

Yang Ming nodded: "Yes."

Gao Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I believe His Highness can do it."

At this time, Yang Ming got up slowly, and said: "Since you have said everything, you should know that I will not let you go, so please live in the palace."

Gao Yue stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking me in for five years."

"Eat more in the future." Yang Ming looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "It's not that I can't afford you."

After saying this, Yang Ming left.

Gao Yue took off the curtain and threw it aside casually, with a serene smile on his face and crescent moon eyes.

In fact, she hoped that she could live here all the time, she was used to everything in the palace, she was used to the owner of the palace who rarely met, who was so close, yet seemed so far away.

After standing for a long time, she seemed to think of something, put on the curtain again, and ordered the servants to report that she wanted to see the princess.

Because Yang Yinjiang once said a word to her: When Yang Ming saw your face, it was your death.

Princess dormitory, in the hall.

After Yang Yinjiang learned the purpose of the other party seeing her, she couldn't help laughing and said:
"I said this before, but that was before. I know you have a beautiful face, enough to make any man fall for you, but today is different from the past. My husband is not easily attracted by women. Bewitching, so, live well."

At that time, Yang Yinjiang was not married yet, and she didn't know Yang Ming as well as she does now, but now it's different, she is the princess, her son is the eldest son, just a woman, even if she is favored by Yang Ming, she can't. how?
She knew her husband well, and in Yang Ming's heart, she was the first, Pei Shuying the second, Chen Shuyi the third, and the rest were nothing to fear.

After speaking, Yang Yinjiang came over, raised her hand to lift the curtain, and was taken aback for a moment.

After a while, Yang Yinjiang put it down abruptly, shook her head and smiled wryly:
"You seem to be 36 years old this year? Why is your skin still like a girl? How did you do it?"

Gao Yue shook his head: "I don't know either."

"So, do you hope that His Highness will favor you and keep you in the palace?" Yang Yinjiang was smart, and immediately figured out that the reason why the other party let Yang Ming see her face was to use her body as the capital to be able to live forever. palace.

Gao Yue didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.

Yang Yinjiang frowned and said, "When did you leave Feng Xiaolian's side?"

"When I was eight years old, I parted from my mother," Gao Yue said.

Yang Yinjiang calculated silently in her heart, and said, "It was the year when your father Gao Wei (Empress Qi) was arrested and returned to the capital? How did you escape?"

"Forgive me for not being able to speak out, it will implicate many people," Gao Yue said softly.

Yang Yinjiang nodded. This is understandable. The person who protected her must be Qi Ren, and she must be alive now, so Gao Yue can't betray her, after all, she is a lifesaver.

"I hope you haven't learned about Feng Xiaolian's seductive body, otherwise I will kill you, or I will kill you," Yang Yinjiang warned because Feng Xiaolian's reputation is too great.

When the Zhou, Qi, and Chen families stood side by side, Feng Xiaolian was hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world. After Qi died, many people compared her to Daji in the current world. Anyway, Qi people hated her deeply. It's because of her.

In fact, it was because of Confucianism that he didn't dare to blame his emperor, so he found a woman to take the blame.

In fact, in the old Qi Gao family, from the founding of the country to the successor, there was not a single good bird, all of them were fools.

Gao Huan is the revered Taizu, and it was his son Gao Yang who founded the country.

Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan were enemies for life, and he was indirectly pissed off by Wei Xiaokuan.

Yang Ming undoubtedly has good concentration and is not lustful, but Yang Yinjiang will definitely be wary, regardless of Gao Yue's soft and quiet performance all the time, who knows what she looks like in bed.

The reason why she was so polite to Gao Yue was because Yang Yinjiang also knew the big secret about Gao Yue.

In the early days, only Pei Shuying and Yang Ming knew this secret, but later, Yang Ming told Pei Shuying to tell Yang Yinjiang if she had a chance.

After all, Gao Lande is in Yang Su's hands, so it is more convenient for Yang Yinjiang to ask for someone.

And Yang Yinjiang did indeed do this, but her grandfather's answer at the time was: now is not the time.

Inside and outside the words, Yang Yinjiang probably understood what her grandfather meant, that Gao Lande would become the bargaining chip in his father's Xuangan hands, and it would be most appropriate for his father to hand it over to Yang Ming in the future.

On the premise of not harming Yang Ming's interests, Yang Yinjiang must consider her family, especially his biological father.

In the evening of that day, Yang Ming entered Dongshi early. He understood that Gao Jiong asked him to meet him because he didn't want others to know, so he only brought twenty guards, dressed in casual clothes, and went to the meeting.

Xu Ji pickle shop, the backyard, after the two met, they looked at each other and smiled, and sat down in a very tacit understanding.

Gao Jiong likes to eat pickled vegetables, which is well known in the city.

As soon as he thought of pickles, Yang Ming thought of Yang Lihua's solicitation at the beginning, so he took the lead in laughing and said:

"If Duke Dugu was willing to nod his head back then, and the eldest princess would protect you, it wouldn't be what you are today."

Gao Jiong didn't feel depressed at all because of his dismissal, but he said with great relief:
"The center has been standing for more than 20 years, and I can't bend down anymore."

Yang Ming joked: "What do you mean, if the Second Sage is still here, you won't be able to bend down?"

Gao Jiong also laughed and said: "You are farfetched. I am a retainer of the Holy Empress. I have knelt on my knees for 20 years, not to mention bending over. However, I am attached to the daughter of the Holy Empress and I can survive. This old man can't do it."

"My aunt is no ordinary daughter, she is the old Queen Mother of Zhou," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Gao Jiong shook his head and said, "It's all the same. The Empress Dowager was also in the past, but now she is a princess after all. Because of this root, Your Majesty doesn't want to see me standing in the hall."

"Maybe, it's more serious," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Gao Jiong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily:

"Don't think that this old man is afraid of death. When I was in charge of the center more than 20 years ago, I have been counting the days in my heart. When I will die, I have earned it if I can live until now."

Yang Ming said: "Mr. Dugu is very bold."

Gao Jiong smiled and said: "Be careful, be careful that your own father will attack you."

"I have voluntarily resigned from the military office, so I should be fine for the time being," Yang Ming said.

Gao Jiong asked in a daze, "When did it happen?"

"At the court meeting today," Yang Ming said, "It seems that Mr. Dugu doesn't care about court affairs anymore."

Gao Jiong smiled and nodded: "If I inquire about the affairs of the court again, I am afraid that I will die sooner. You have done a good job. In the past 20 years, I have only seen bloody people fighting for power, but I have never seen decentralization. As happy as you are, the scarier you are, the more His Majesty will hate you."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "I have no power in my hands, and I am relaxed. I am just like Mr. Dugu. I am alone, but I can go to the court and hang out."

Gao Jiong bowed his head and thought for a while, and then said: "In the future court meeting, talk less, try not to get involved in anything, you have to recharge your energy, one day in the future, it will depend on you."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Forgive me for not understanding the meaning of Dugu Gong's words."

Gao Jiong smiled and said, "In the year you were born, Zhangchou Taiyi said a prophecy."

"It's just a prophecy," Yang Ming waved his hand.

Gao Jiong shook his head and said: "I see that His Majesty is acting arbitrarily, with great aspirations and no hesitation of the power of the people. If things go on like this, within 20 years, the world will be in chaos. No one in the civil and military courts has the power to persuade, and the affairs of the state will be controlled by one person." With the hand of a single person, you can attach yourself to the world with the heart of one person, since you are the blood of the two saints, you should put the great Sui Guozuo as the most important thing, and you should do what you have to do if you have to."

How dare you say that if this sentence is spread, it will be light to punish your nine clans, and Yang Ming remains silent.
