Chapter 242 Please seal Liu Taozi!!(1/3)
Yecheng.
There was deathly silence outside the city at the moment.
The common people no longer dared to travel. On the official road outside Yecheng, knights kept running back and forth.
Twenty miles outside the city, troops gathered near the school grounds.
Gao Rui, Gao Xiaoyu, Lou Rui, Hu Changren, Zhao Yanshen, He Baren and other ministers from outside the clan, including civil and military ministers, all gathered here.
The knights were galloping back and forth, while the soldiers were guarding various places.
Gao Rui frowned, looking unwilling.
"How can you run away? How can you leave Jinyang?"
"If I were by your Majesty's side, I would persuade him to stay even if I died! Yang Zhong raided the hinterland, how could he have any idea of breaking the city and occupying it? Besides, their reinforcements were blocked in Pingyang, how could they abandon the city?"
Every time Gao Rui thinks of this incident, he gets so angry that he wants to slap himself.
What happened to those people in Jinyang??
Under such circumstances, Your Majesty was made to run away??
Gao Xiaoyu frowned and glanced at Gao Rui beside him. He could see it more clearly than Gao Rui.
His Majesty went to Jinyang clearly to get rid of them, so why did he take us there with him?
When they arrived in Jinyang, they also drove all the generals who could fight to other places. Seriously, Gao Xiaoyu didn't know what to say.
Hu Changren narrowed his eyes at this moment. Before the emperor left, he and several brothers from his family would command the army in Yecheng.
Speaking of which, it seems that he is the one with the largest army in Yecheng?
Lou Rui looked sad and said nothing.
The Queen Mother's condition is getting worse and worse, and now she is in a coma. She is afraid that she will not be able to survive this month.
Lou Rui was not in the mood to pay attention to these shabby things at the moment. He just hoped that his aunt would get better.
He Baren swallowed, feeling extremely nervous. His nephew's matter put him in an awkward situation. Those close to the emperor thought he was Liu Taozi's man, and those close to Liu Taozi thought he was the emperor's man.
He Bacheng immediately turned him into a lonely minister, with no allies around him. He was eager to find someone to join forces with, but could not find a suitable candidate at all.
Even the emperor no longer trusts himself.
Zhao Yan closed his eyes deeply and rested his mind. He looked very old and seemed to know nothing.
The ministers had different thoughts and expressions.
While waiting anxiously, a group of people slowly appeared in the distance.
Seeing this group of troops, Gao Rui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came forward with many ministers to pay their respects.
Gao Jun rode forward, accompanied by two clan members.
Gao Rui and others were quite surprised and hurried forward to worship him.
Gao Jun looked at everyone calmly and said, "Your Majesty is safe and well. He is just suffering from an occasional illness and needs to return to the palace to rest as soon as possible."
"This is His Majesty's edict, appointing me as the Prime Minister Zuo to take charge of the affairs of the world."
Gao Rui frowned and looked at the carriage in the distance.
"Your Majesty, we want to see your Majesty."
"When you return to the palace, Your Majesty will summon all the ministers."
Gao Jun immediately ordered the officers and men to return to Yecheng in batches, and ordered his ministers to clear the way ahead and walk in the direction of Yecheng.
Gao Xiaoyu didn't know when he appeared next to Gao Rui. He frowned and said, "Shang Shuling, something is wrong."
"You mean that edict?"
"No, think about it, isn't this thing very strange?"
"None of us knew about the siege of Jinyang at the beginning, but King Pengcheng suddenly went out and brought my brother, King Rencheng, and hundreds of guards with him. We went to ask, and he said he was going to inspect the place.
Root out corrupt officials."
Gao Rui nodded.
Gao Xiaoyu continued: "Then we learned that Jinyang was besieged. At the same time, we also learned that King Pengcheng led troops to rescue the emperor and return to Yecheng."
"How far is it from Yecheng to Jinyang?"
"The army returning to Luo is in Jinglin Mountain."
"If King Pengcheng learns the news in Qingdu and rushes to Jinglin Mountain as quickly as possible, how long will it take to rush from Jinglin to Jinyang??"
"Besides, how does he know where the army returning to Luo is?"
Facing many inquiries from Gao Xiaoyu, Gao Rui suddenly realized that before, he had only paid attention to the news of Jinyang being attacked and was so worried that he had not thought about it. Now that he thought about it, there was something wrong with it.
Gao Rui's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"
Gao Xiaoyu said coldly: "There is only one explanation. King Pengcheng knew that Yang Zhong would attack Jinyang very early and also knew the exact location of Huiluo. This way he could gather Huiluo's army in advance and rush to the vicinity of Jinyang until things changed.
, take action immediately.”
Gao Rui suddenly remembered what Gao Jun had said to him before, and at this moment, his face turned pale.
It is unlikely that Gao Jun would know the news about Yang Zhong in advance, and he would not collude with Yang Zhong. The explanation Gao Rui can think of is that Gao Jun originally wanted to lead Luo's troops to attack Jinyang and plot a rebellion, but happened to meet Yang Zhong.
He was loyal and captured the emperor easily.
The edict is false and the emperor has been held hostage.
The reason why we had to wait until the palace before summoning the ministers was probably because we had to wait until the ministers were separated from the army before launching an attack.
Gao Rui looked at Gao Xiaoyu again.
The relationship between the two people was actually very bad. Gao Rui looked down on Gao Xiaoyu's habit of having fun and repeatedly accused him of extravagance and indulgence in drinking and sex. Gao Xiaoyu looked down on Gao Rui's background. Gao Rui's father, Gao Chen, had a relationship with Gao Rui.
He was beaten to death for having an affair in Huan's harem.
Yes, Gao Rui's father is Gao Huan's younger brother. Gao Rui is Gao Xun's cousin.
It's just because of his father's relationship that his clan's identity is different from other clans.
But at this moment, the two of them temporarily put aside their differences. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Gao Xiaoyu also sighed helplessly.
Although Gao Zhan had a good relationship with him, Gao Yong had a good relationship with him. Gao Yong was a good person. He had no choice but to say: "I hope things haven't deteriorated to this point. I'll go find Yanzong and ask about the situation."
, please don’t act rashly.”
Gao Xiaoyu took advantage of the time when no one was around and quietly followed the little fat man.
The little fat man's eyes lit up, "Brother!!"
Gao Xiaoyu's relationship with Little Fatty was very good, but her relationship with Gao Changgong was average.
Gao Xiaoyu looked at the armored brother in front of him with a smile, "He seems to have some looks."
"Practice a little more and become stronger."
Gao Yanzong raised his head, "Brother, I am different now than before. I practice hard every day. If brother doesn't believe it, we can try to fight against each other."
Gao Xiaoyu laughed heartily, and the two brothers chatted for a while. Gao Xiaoyu suddenly asked: "Where did you meet His Majesty?"
"Ah, I forgot which mountain it is on. Anyway, it's just a mountain pass."
"How is your Majesty's condition? Is he okay?"
"Not very good."
Gao Yanzong laughed and said, "We shot the warrior to death!"
"Brother, I personally took the lead and shot him in the lower body with an arrow. My shots are getting more and more accurate! Hahaha~~"
Gao Xiaoyu's eyes widened, "Heshi is dead??"
"Yeah, what's so strange about this?"
"Where is your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is just crying and sad, as if your father is dead!"
"nonsense!"
Gao Xiaoyu glared at him, and Gao Yanzong immediately shut his mouth. Gao Xiaoyu looked worriedly in the direction of the carriage. Gao Yanzong couldn't help but said: "Brother, He Shikai is a villain. If he dies, he will die!"
"Of course it's a good thing that the warrior died."
"But I'm worried."
"You don't know, I now suspect that King Pengcheng colluded with foreign ministers, gathered some people, and did something that shouldn't be done, or there is some conspiracy!"
Gao Xiaoyu whispered: "I'm afraid he will attack His Majesty!"
Gao Yanzong narrowed his eyes, "Brother, don't worry, as long as your majesty doesn't act stupid, he won't die."
Gao Xiaoyu was about to answer, but suddenly reacted.
