(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Book Friends 18672397'.)
After exchanging greetings, the banquet started. The table was full of fresh seasonal vegetables and delicate side dishes. Obviously, it took a lot of thought. , so he ate very happily.
Next, the five people at the table casually chatted about the past of the people in Beijing, and they had a very happy chat.
The former prince may have heard about some of Wang Junlin's lustful affairs, so he brought the topic to the anecdote among fans.
The topic between the men was the same, although the two still had their own thoughts in their hearts, the atmosphere was successfully activated. Wang Junlin occasionally talked about some interesting things, or what he saw and heard along the way when he traveled around the world with his unfounded master, which always surprised everyone.
After a meal, Yang Yong and Wang Junlin each had their own income, and said goodbye with a smile. Pei Yuanqing and Wang Junlin left together, and Huang Baochang and Li Chun also left one after another.
Yang Yong still did not see him off, and sat cross-legged on the soft couch. For a long time, he actually maintained this posture without moving. He watched the figures of Wang Junlin and Huang Baochang disappear at the entrance of Huafang , the smile on his face disappeared, his face was solemn, and he frowned in thought.
"Your Highness, what do you think of Marquis Qin An?" Gao Ying walked in from the side door with her hands behind her back, looked at the entrance of Huafang, and asked in a questioning tone.
Yang Yong laughed at himself and said: "This son's etiquette, words and deeds, and manners are very decent. He seems to be neither humble nor overbearing, but in fact... he is the most proud person I have ever seen. Although I am a prince, I am ready to aspire The person on the throne of the Son of Heaven, but in the depths of his eyes, Gu can't feel the slightest sense of superiority."
Gao Ying showed admiration on his face, and said: "That's right, this son is very similar to those who came out of Xianyinmen. In addition, Yuwen Chengdu and Mai Tiezhu, the eldest princess, were sent by the Eastern Palace a month ago. The old **** Mo sent people to help Wang Junlin deal with those outsiders, and then contacted Wang Junlin's own supernatural powers and strange origins. It is basically certain that Wang Junlin's origin is the legendary Xianyinmen."
Yang Yong frowned slightly, looked at Gao Ying and said, "I just don't understand why Gao Gong let Gu do what he did today?"
Paused, he sighed slightly, and said: "I'm afraid what Gu has done today is extremely unbearable in his eyes. Being despised by such people in the bottom of my heart is not good. I want to subdue it as already used."
"Your Highness, we never thought of taking Wang Junlin for our own use, because he cannot be taken in by anyone, including His Majesty and Yang Guang who took your place." Gao Ying looked away from the door, with a meaningful expression Said. If Wang Junlin could hear this sentence, he would be surprised by the accuracy of Gao Ying's judgment.
Yang Yong's face was even more puzzled, he frowned and said: "Then what is the purpose of Gao Gong asking the lonely general Wang Junlin to come here today? If you want to ambush the master and kill him on the spot, why didn't you just do it?"
Gao Ying shook her head and said: "Qiu Rui's idiot will die as soon as he dies, but the fact that his Changping Palace was destroyed by the people has caused a lot of damage to His Highness's reputation. His Highness's top priority now is to accumulate fame and cherish his feathers. I can't do such a thing that is suspected and ridiculed by the heroes and talents of the world."
Yang Yong said thoughtfully, "Did Gao Gong make other arrangements during the journey?"
A frightening light flashed in Gao Ying's eyes, and she said: "If you want to kill Wang Junlin and other supernatural beings, if you don't have three or more masters in the breaking stage to surround him or send thousands of tigers and wolves The siege is very difficult to be effective, but with His Majesty watching in the capital, who dares to use such a large-scale weapon privately. And we can gather three masters of the breaking stage in our hands, but apart from Qiu Fu's eagerness for revenge, the other two This old guy has been in a high position for many years, and he will definitely not be willing to do such a brave job like a young man like Yu Wencheng."
Yang Yong snorted coldly, and said: "I heard that the cavalry and dead soldiers led by Yuwen Chengdu and Mai Tiezhang led by Gu Na's younger brother a few days ago were nearly a thousand in total. .”
Gao Ying smiled slightly, and said unceremoniously: "Your Highness is wrong. I have been with His Majesty for many years, and I know that His Majesty is extremely dissatisfied with Yang Guang's unscrupulous raising of three thousand dead men and his reckless actions in the capital. The reason has never been said, but it has already been shown in action. More than a month ago, on the day of the queen's burial, we almost succeeded in a sudden attack, which was the result of His Majesty's acquiescence. All actions. Immediately afterwards, His Majesty suddenly appointed the old man, although he had the idea of using the old man's popularity to complete the autumn examination, but it was also His Majesty who became more and more dissatisfied with Yang Guang, and began to waver in his heart about the candidate for the crown prince."
When Gao Ying said this, Yang Yong smiled and said: "Gong Gong's words are reasonable. Father and Emperor were hesitant when he abolished the position of Gu Crown Prince. It was all the help of Gu Na's cruel mother."
"Well...it's just that Mr. Gao hasn't said why he invited Wang Junlin here today and made Gu behave so unbearably." Yang Yong followed up.
Gao Ying saw that her words failed to divert Yang Yong's attention, she hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Highness still remembers that the old man specially asked you to throw the bunch of grapes on the top of the plate to Wang Junlin."
Yang Yong was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Could it be that the bunch of grapes was tampered with by Gao Gong, could it be that there was a huge poison in it?"
Gao Ying's eyes flashed, and said: "Your Highness is wise, the old man did find a strange poison and put it into the bunch of grapes with a secret method, but... this poison is a slow poison. It will take three days to poison. In addition, Wang Junlin will not die immediately, and no one will suspect that we did it."
Yang Yong nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Gao Ying's arrangement, but he took a deep look at Gao Ying, and said seriously: "I hope that Mr. Gao has any plans in the future and he can tell Gu in advance."
Gao Ying gave a wry smile, cupped her hands and said: "The old man was worried that His Highness would know about this in advance, and Wang Junlin would see the clues in his words and deeds, so he didn't report it to His Highness. It is the old man's fault, and His Highness please forgive me. "
When Yang Yong heard this, his expression softened, and he said: "Gao Gong is also thinking about alone, so I don't blame Gao Gong."
"If Your Highness is fine, the old man will go home in disguise. Recently, many people have been staring at the old man's mansion. If the old man is not at home for a long time, he will definitely be noticed." Gao Yingshi said.
Yang Yong finally got up and said: "Duke Gao has been running back and forth for the lonely matter. When Gu becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne of the emperor, he will definitely reward Gao Gong with the position of king and prime minister."
Gao Ying sighed, and said sincerely: "When Your Highness becomes the lord of the world, it will be the day when the old man will retire and live in retirement. Your Highness must not refuse the old man's intention to retire."
Yang Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but with an anxious face on his face, he said, "How can I do that? I still think that when the time comes, you and my monarch and ministers will rule the world together, and let my Da Sui become no less The world in the prosperous Han Dynasty."
Gao Ying resignedly said: "If the old man's health allows, the old man will help His Highness work for a few more years."
The two of them got off the boat while thinking about the bright future. Yang Yong personally sent Gao Ying away from the side door, watched Gao Ying get into the carriage and leave under the **** of twenty black-clothed guards before turning around and leaving again Go back to the other courtyard.
…
…
In the carriage, Gao Ying looked away from the window where Yang Yong turned around with a complicated expression, and suddenly said: "Chong Lao, Wang Junlin has already eaten one of the bunch of grapes, but I don't know if your method will be successful." ?”
Gao Ying's carriage is very big, there is no problem for four people, there is a table in the middle, with fine wine, fragrant tea and fruits on it, and an old man is sitting on the other side of the table.
The old man's complexion was pale and almost bloodless, his body was thin and skinny, but his head was extremely large. At this time, he was sitting in a very comfortable posture. When Gao Ying came in, he just opened his eyes. He opened, glanced at the other party with faintly green eyes, and picked up the jug on the table to drink.
"Gao Gong, don't worry, as long as that kid eats grapes into his stomach, he will not escape from our palm. There is no other way to go except to obey our words obediently. Even if he wants to die, he will die." It's not that easy." The old man Gao Ying called Chong Lao said with a confident and arrogant face.
Gao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "If we can control this child, we will be even more powerful. The old man must keep his word, and he will do everything he promised."
…
…
Wang Junlin rode on a blood-maned horse, because this guy didn't like saddles, and he was reluctant to put a saddle on him unless he was fighting and sprinting, so his **** was a little uncomfortable. At this time, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking about the whole process of meeting the eldest prince, he had too many doubts in his heart.
He pulled out a branch facing him, and asked Pei Yuanqing beside him, "The eldest prince just wants to see me today?" The eldest prince is the most suitable.
Pei Yuanqing replied with a smile: "The eldest prince is thirsty for talents. Brother Wang is the top hero of my younger generation in the Sui Dynasty. He wants to meet Brother Wang. It is normal to get closer to Brother Wang."
Wang Junlin was startled, and shook his head with a wry smile. After a while, he suddenly sighed and said, "Why do I always feel that this matter is not so simple?"
Pei Yuanqing and Wang Junlin have known each other for almost a year, and they have similar temperaments. I knew that the latter was extremely proud in his bones, and he was as gentle as jade on the surface. Knowing how powerful Wang Junlin's mental means are, seeing what he said was serious at this moment, he thought for a while and said: "My grandfather said that the first thing the eldest prince should do now is to rebuild his reputation, and he must cherish his feathers very much. At this time, do the Hongmen Banquet."
