Li Jintian originally intended to conquer the Western Yi, and said in court that he would form an army as soon as possible.
"May I ask if your Majesty has a suitable general to choose?" King Li bowed and asked.
"No, Aiqing can help me recommend a few."
"The minister recommended General Gao Mingao, does the emperor think it is appropriate?"
When King Li said this, the courtiers were shocked. Everyone knew who Gao Min was, and they all knew that he was a fierce general who guarded the border before entering the palace. However, he was now the emperor's man, and he was still a child.
How can you, the prince, mix with the sergeants again? What a shame!
Someone wanted to stand up and object, but Gao Lang took a step forward and strongly promoted his younger brother, saying that he would not shun relatives while promoting the virtuous. Li Jintian's love and tolerance for his younger brother had no bottom line. Gao Lang knew this precisely because
Only then would he join forces with King Li to make such a bold proposal.
It is true that Li Jintian can tolerate Gao Min without any bottom line, but that was before, and now Li Jintian is like a man walking blindfolded who suddenly had the gauze taken off, and he can clearly see the situation of the court and the harem.
Those courtiers who wanted to object silently retreated to their original positions when Gao Lang spoke up. It can be seen that the current court situation has become a hall for Gao Lang and King Li to speak. He, the emperor, is just a decoration. When the two put forward their opinions, they only need to
Just nod. He has dismissed eight to nine out of ten beauties in the harem, leaving only a few because they had children. They have no divine favor, and they all have to rely on Gao Min's breath to survive.
The harem of the former dynasty has completely become the domain of the Gao family, so where does this put him as the emperor? And why did King Li recommend Gao Min? What is the relationship between the two of them in private?
Li Jintian's heart was burning, but it didn't show on his face at all. He said in a warm voice that he would need to think about it for a few days before making a decision. Gao Lang and King Li were no longer aggressive. Anyway, they knew that when Li Jintian returned to the harem, Gao Min would naturally have a way to make it happen.
he agrees.
Gao Min was tired of being trapped in this high palace wall. As soon as Li Jintian went to court, he came to the Yangxin Hall and begged to take command of Xiyi.
Li Jintian refused on the grounds of taking care of the child. He did not give up. He knelt down and said coldly, "The emperor once said that you want me to walk side by side. The so-called walking side by side means trapping me in this golden cage."
To be your pet? I will die for the Emperor, but the Emperor cannot even fulfill my wish?"
He raised his eyes and looked directly at the holy face, his pupils full of unwillingness and resentment. The resentment continued from the previous life to this life, and it could be said that it was getting thicker and unable to be dispelled. He had originally planned to open his heart to accept Li Jintian, but he did not expect that the other party had no relationship.
You forgive Qi Xiujie, which makes his resentment boil over again.
At the same time, he hated himself for being like this, feeling that he could not fall into the whirlpool of competition for favor like a woman and live without dignity. He wanted to put on armor, pick up a sword and halberd, and set foot on the free and vast land on the border.
If the two of them could sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk, they would definitely be able to resolve their knot. But right now, Li Jintian was hurt by the resentment in his eyes. He thought that after three years of covering up, even a stone would be able to cover up the heat, but he didn't expect it.
Gao Min's heart is harder than a stone. He actually harbors resentment for everything in his previous life, and he is not willing to accompany him to death. This resentment may drive him to do things that hurt himself, but he has no intention of hurting him.
The power of resistance.
Li Jintian was horrified, and suddenly felt that the idea of returning to life and wanting to live a good life with Gao Min was really stupid. He stared at Gao Min for a long time, and finally walked away.
Li Jintian wandered aimlessly in the palace, and unknowingly came to the Zichen Palace. He hesitated for a long time before stepping in.
Qi Xiujie was standing behind the desk practicing calligraphy, with his head lowered and unable to see clearly what the expression was on his face. Hearing the announcement from the palace officials, he looked very surprised, with disbelief and flattery in his eyes.
"The guilty minister joins the Emperor." He knelt down respectfully.
Li Jintian did not scream, but looked at him with a deep and unpredictable gaze. After a while, he slowly asked, "How have you been recently?"
"For the record, Your Majesty, I am living a good life."
Li Jintian was slightly startled when he heard this. Is this considered a good life? Living in an empty palace with neither luxurious furnishings nor personal servants is considered a good thing. It is equivalent to a cold palace? Yes, compared with the previous gloomy and terrifying heavenly prison.
, isn’t it very good?
The feeling of guilt hit him again, making Li Jintian feel tight in his chest. He picked up a chair and sat down, waving his hand and saying, "Get up."
Zhou Yun Sheng did not move. After hesitating for a moment, he replied in a hoarse voice, "The guilty minister has something in his heart that cannot be settled, so he dare not get up."
Li Jintian seemed to know what he was going to ask, his face darkened, but he still rubbed his brows and said tiredly, "If you have any questions, just ask."
Zhou Yun Sheng kowtowed carefully and said in a sad tone, "May I ask why the Emperor wanted to destroy my whole family? What did we do wrong?"
"Your father secretly colluded with King Xuan to plot rebellion, didn't you know?" When he said this, Li Jintian felt guilty again and again. When he cleaned up the Qi family, he actually did not find any evidence of evil. He is no longer sure about himself.
Was it the right decision to confiscate Qi's family? He wanted to find the answer, but was afraid to touch the answer.
The light in Zhou Yun Sheng's eyes disappeared for a moment, and then his face turned haggard. He was so ashamed that he kowtowed several times and choked up, "So it turns out that the guilty minister has no knowledge of this matter. The guilty minister has no face to face the emperor.
, Your Majesty, please grant the guilty minister a death!" The words were followed by several loud bangs on the head, which broke his forehead.
Li Jintian quickly reached out and looked into his eyes. His pupils were so dark and pure. Apart from shame, silence, despair, and guilt, there was no trace of resentment. He had wiped out his family, and he actually
He has no resentment and is willing to die. His friendship for him is probably no less than that of Gao Min.
No, this is wrong. He has much more friendship with him than Gao Min. In his last life, although he had a reputation of being arrogant and domineering, he was the most submissive in front of him and would never disobey Gao Min.
It was rare for Min to accompany him to death, but for him to be able to live in humiliation and do everything possible to avenge himself, the suffering he endured in his heart was probably worse than death.
So in the end, he failed to hold on, failed to enjoy the glory he should have enjoyed, and hanged alone on the roof beam of Zichen Palace.
Looking at the person in front of him who has been humbled to the dust and has completely destroyed the idea of living, Li Jintian feels like a knife is twisting his heart. In the last life, he thought he loved the wrong person, but it was not the case; in this life, he thought he loved the right person.
Qi Xiujie did everything for him, but said nothing, but Gao Min always talked about the kindness from his previous life, for fear that he would forget it.
After making mistakes for two consecutive lives, he could no longer take back his affection from Gao Min. He felt that he was extremely pathetic. But the despairing Qi Xiujie in front of him was thousands of times more pathetic than him.
Both of them were severely teased by fate.
In contrast to Gao Min's indifference and resentment, Li Jintian felt even more guilty towards Qi Xiujie, who had no complaints. He pulled him up forcefully, sat him down on a chair, and carefully warned, "I don't blame you, you have to live a good life."
He paused for a moment and added, "I will take good care of you. I can compensate you for whatever you want."
Zhou Yun Sheng's dead eyes let out a glimmer of light, and he hesitated and said, "Is it okay for the sinner to have a child?"
Li Jintian was questioned again by him. He knew that Gao Min poisoned Qi Xiujie as soon as he was reborn, because he suspected that the death of the emperor in his previous life was Qi Xiujie's handiwork. Li Jintian pretended not to know anything with the intention of compensating, and even cooperated secretly.
Qi Xiujie's body has been completely destroyed and there will be no child at all.
In the previous life, in King Xuan's harem, Qi Xiujie also destroyed his body in order to avoid giving birth to King Xuan's evil offspring.
This was simply a bad debt that couldn't be settled. Li Jintian had a splitting headache and became even more afraid to face Qi Xiujie.
Qi Xiujie seemed to notice his hesitation and added, "The guilty minister did not mean to have a biological child. The guilty minister's family has committed such heinous crimes, and the guilty minister no longer dares to expect the emperor's favor. Now in the palace
There are many children who have lost their mother, concubine or king and father, and the sinner only wants to adopt one. The sinner is already alone..."
His humble words were like a dull knife, slicing Li Jintian's heart one by one. He understood what he meant. He was alone and helpless. If there was no comfort, he would never be like the last life again.
He didn't want to live. Li Jintian hated Qi Xiujie before, but now he felt so guilty. He said, "It's up to you," and hurriedly ran away, his face burning red, as if he had been slapped dozens of times.
Zhou Yun Sheng returned to his expressionless face as soon as he left. He raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his forehead and smiled coldly. His personal palace attendants had been hypnotized and were loyal to him. They all lowered their heads at this time. What should they do?
Didn't see it either.
Li Jintian fled back to the Yangxin Hall in embarrassment, staring at a table of memorials in a daze. The top memorial was presented by the Qintian Supervisor, and listed several titles, which were carefully selected for Gao Lang, the Duke of the early Jin Dynasty.
Among them, the three characters "Yu Guogong" were deliberately circled with imperial brushes and Zhubu, which is obviously what Gao Min meant. Yu Guogong, in the dream about the second life, wasn't Gao Lang named Yu Guogong? Does this mean that those dreams are all
it is true?
Li Jintian's hands shaking as he pinched the memorial, then threw it out. But it was too late to regret now. Everyone in the court knew that Gao Lang was about to be promoted to Duke, and in order to please Gao Min, he gave it to him early.
The Gao family moved into a mansion regulated by the government.
At the moment, Li Jintian felt like he had swallowed hundreds of flies. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out. Not to mention how uncomfortable he felt. He drank several pots of herbal tea and then suppressed his turbulent emotions. He heard someone outside the hall tell him,
It is said that Lord Gao Gui's personal maid is requesting an audience.
"Come in." Li Jintian felt more and more anxious, but still didn't push the person away. He really couldn't be cruel to Gao Min.
"I have seen your Majesty. The master asked your servant to come and send a message. He said that Mr. Qi Gui went to the imperial study without permission and wanted to take a prince back. What should you do?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction on the maid's face. Obviously, she felt that
Qi Xiujie is not qualified to raise a prince.
"What to do or not to do? It's my wish to let Qi Guijun adopt the prince. Who dares to object?" If you can't cure Gao Min, you can't cure a little maid? Li Jintian spoke in a very cold tone.
The maid had a big accident, and when she saw the evil spirit in the emperor's eyes, she quickly apologized and left.
At the door of the Imperial Study Room, Zhou Yun Sheng and Gao Min were facing each other.
Even after enduring all kinds of torture in the prison, this man's backbone is still so straight, and his eyes always have a condescending look when he looks at people. But what does he have to be proud of? The Qi family has long been gone.
, leaving him dragging his broken body to survive.
Thinking of this, Gao Min smiled contemptuously, but before the smile fully bloomed, the palace maid whispering in his ear made him pale.
Zhou Yun Sheng pulled his lips, cupped his hands, and said casually, "Go first." Then Shi Shiran stepped into the imperial study.
"I don't know what kind of magic you used to make the emperor let you go, but I will never let you have an easy time!" Gao Min said coldly, as if he felt that his harsh words were no different from those of women competing for favor.
His face became increasingly ugly.
Zhou Yun Sheng sneered and drifted away. Of course he would not break into the imperial study while his husband was teaching. It was lunch break and the princes were all dining in the side hall, so there was no need to avoid it.
He said he was just adopting someone at random, but in fact he already had a goal. He was the most capable and loyal supporter of the future new emperor Li Xuyan, the sixth prince.
The sixth prince was named Li Xudong, and his mother was a dancing girl sent from a small border country. She had a very humble status and died just after giving birth to him. When Li Jintian was reborn, he could only see Gao Min and the fifth prince born to Gao Min.
Other children have no feelings at all, let alone care about their life and death.
The sixth prince came from a humble background and had no one to take care of him. You can imagine what kind of life he lived in the palace. Now he is still a pitiful little boy who allows others to bully him. In the future, he will kill three palace people around him because he cannot bear the abuse.
, thus attracting Gao Min's attention and sympathy, and then he was adopted by his side and taught carefully.
Li Xudong had a ruthless temperament, but he also knew how to repay his kindness. From then on, he was loyal to Gao Min and his son. When he was fourteen years old, he followed Gao Min in various battles and made great military achievements, which shows that he was a very talented person.
