"And Gao Lande is my younger brother. If his identity is exposed, he will be killed."
Gao Yue said softly: "I hope Your Highness can help me put him in a good place. I want him to be alive, even if he lives like an animal."
After that, Gao Yue took out a piece of paper, 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 found the right opportunity and had already peeked into the contents of the note.
"Gao Lande is in my hands."
With just a few words, Yang Ming asked Pei Ju for help in searching, and basically identified a servant in Yang Su's house.
But it is obvious that Yang Su does not plan to have a showdown with Yang Ming yet, which means that Yang Su will not hand over the person now.
Yang Ming pushed the note back and asked, "Do you know whose hands Gao Lande is in?"
"If I had known, I would not have asked for anything from Your Highness," Gao Yue said, "When my younger brother appeared in front of me, that was when I presented the broken horn of the Jade Seal of the Kingdom with both hands."
Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. 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 effective, the last King of Qin would have already done so," Gao Yue took out a dagger from his sleeve.
"If someone uses force, I will die. I will never leave this dagger. It has been more than thirty 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 said:
"After all, I have lived in the palace for five years. I already know clearly from Shuyi what kind of person His Highness is. Although I knew from the beginning that Shuyi was a spy sent by His Highness, this does not affect me. Treat Shuyi as my sister.”
Yang Ming did not take the dagger, but pushed it back and said with a smile: "So, when Shuyi saw this note, was it your intention?"
Gao Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, as a commoner, it is impossible for me to find out the whereabouts of my brother, so I can only borrow His Highness's hand. I have already said everything. Does Your Highness have nothing to say to me?"
Yang Ming and Gao Yue are not familiar with each other, so he does not think that she is a very smart person because she can see through Shuyi. She is just a cautious person who has been cultivated over the years. After all, the secrets hidden in her body are too big.
Gao Yue had been holding back this last question for a long time, because Yang Ming knew the contents of the note when he was in Jingzhou, so he would inevitably start investigating Gao Lande's whereabouts from that time on. Years have passed and there has been no movement. Gao Yue must be impatient.
Yang Ming said calmly: "The matter is more complicated. I can only tell you that Gao Lande is living well and there will be no problems for the time being. But if I want to bring him back, it's not that easy."
"What about the future? Is it possible for Your 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 stood up slowly and said, "Since you have said everything, you should also know that I will not let you go, so live in the palace well."
Gao Yue stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness in taking me in over the past five years."
"Eat more from now on," Yang Ming looked her up and down and said with a smile, "It's not like I can't support you."
After saying this, Yang Ming left.
Gao Yue took off the curtain and threw it aside, with a peaceful smile on his face and eyebrows like crescent moons.
In fact, she hoped that she could always live here. She was already used to everything in the palace, and she was used to the owner of the palace who rarely met, was so close, and yet seemed so far away.
After standing there for a long time, she seemed to remember something, put the curtain back on again, and ordered her servants to report that she wanted to see the princess.
Because Yang Yinjiang once said to her: When Yang Ming sees your face, it will be your death.
The princess's bedroom, in the hall.
After Yang Yinjiang learned the other party's purpose of meeting her, she couldn't help laughing and said:
"I have said this before, but that was before. I know you have a beautiful face that can make any man fall for you, but today is different from the past. My husband is not easily attracted by women. It’s confusing, so live a good life.”
At that time, Yang Yinjiang was not married yet, and she didn't know Yang Ming as well as she does now, but it is different now. She is the princess, and her son is the heir apparent. She is just a woman. Even if she is favored by Yang Ming, she is not the same. How?
She knew her husband well and knew that in Yang Ming's heart, she was the first, Pei Shuying was the second, Chen Shuyi was the third, and there was nothing to fear about the others.
With that said, Yang Yinjiang walked over, raised her hand to lift the fence, and was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, Yang Yin put it down violently, shook her head and said with a bitter smile:
"You seem to be thirty-six years old this year, right? Why do you still have the skin of a girl? How do you do it?"
Gao Yue shook his head: "I don't know either."
"So, you hope that His Highness will favor you and keep you in the palace?" Yang Yinjiang Bingxue was smart and figured it out in an instant. The reason why the other party let Yang Ming see her face was because he wanted to use his body as a capital to stay there permanently. The palace.
Gao Yue didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Yang Yinjiang frowned and said, "When did you leave Feng Xiaolian?"
"When I was eight years old, I separated from my mother," Gao Yue said.
Yang Yinjiang did the math in her mind and said, "That was the year your father Gao Wei (Qi Empress) was captured and brought back to the capital? How did you escape?"
"Please forgive me for not being able to say anything, as it will implicate many people," Gao Yue said softly.
Yang Yinjiang nodded. This is understandable. The person who saved her must be Qi Ren, and he must still be alive now. Therefore, Gao Yue cannot betray him. After all, he is his savior.
"I hope that you have not learned Feng Xiaolian's charm, otherwise I will cure you instead of killing you," Yang Yinjiang warned because Feng Xiaolian was so famous.
When the three families of Zhou, Qi, and Chen stood side by side, Feng Xiaolian was known as the most beautiful woman in the world. After Qi's death, many people compared her to the contemporary Daji. Anyway, the people of Qi hated her with all their heart, and felt that Qi's death was half of the It's because of her.
In fact, it was because of Confucianism that I didn't dare to complain about my emperor, so I found a woman to take the blame.
In fact, from the founding of the country to the later rulers of the Gao family in the old Qi Dynasty, none of them was a good bird, and they were all faint kings.
Gao Huan was the revered Taizu, and it was his son Gao Yang who founded the country.
Gao Huan and Wei Xiaokuan were lifelong enemies, and he was indirectly angered to death by Wei Xiaokuan.
Yang Ming is undoubtedly very determined and not lewd, but Yang Yinjiang will definitely be wary. Even though Gao Yue has always been weak and quiet, who knows what she will be like in bed.
The reason why he was so polite to Gao Yue was because Yang Yinjiang also knew the big secret about Gao Yue.
Earlier, only Pei Shuying and Yang Ming knew this secret, but later, Yang Ming asked Pei Shuying to find an opportunity to tell Yang Yinjiang.
After all, Gao Lande was in Yang Su's hands, and it was more convenient for Yang Yinjiang to ask for help.
Yang Yinjiang did so, but her grandfather's answer at the time was: now is not the time.
Behind the words, Yang Yinjiang also roughly understood what her grandfather meant. Gao Lande would become a bargaining chip in the hands of her father Xuangan, and it would be most appropriate for her father to hand it over to Yang Ming in the future.
Without harming Yang Ming's interests, Yang Yinjiang must consider his family, especially his biological father.
...
In the evening of the same day, Yang Ming entered Dongshi early. He understood that Gao Xuan did not want others to know that he had invited him to meet like this, so he only brought twenty guards with him, wearing casual clothes, to attend the meeting.
Xu Ji Pickle Shop, backyard. After the two met, they looked at each other and sat down at the same time with great understanding.
Gao Jiong likes to eat pickles, which is known throughout the city.
When Yang Ming thought of pickles, he thought of Yang Lihua's original recruitment, so he took the lead and said with a smile:
"If Mr. Dugu had been willing to nod his head back then, and with the eldest princess protecting you, you wouldn't be like this today."
Gao Jiong did not feel depressed at all because of his dismissal from office. Instead, he was extremely relieved and said:
"I have been standing in the center for more than 20 years, and I can no longer bend down."
Yang Ming joked: "As you said, if the Second Saint is still here, you won't be able to bend down?"
Gao Jong also laughed and said: "You are far-fetched. I am a retainer of the Holy Queen. I have been kneeling for twenty years, let alone bending down. However, I am able to survive by relying on the Queen's daughter. I can't do that."
"My aunt is not an ordinary daughter, she is the Queen Mother of the old Zhou Dynasty," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Gao Jie shook his head and said: "It's all the same. The Queen Mother used to be the same, but now she is a princess. It's because of this that Your Majesty doesn't want to see me standing in the court."
"Perhaps, it's more serious," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Gao Jiong was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily:
"Don't think that I am afraid of death. When I was in charge of the center more than 20 years ago, I have been counting the days in my mind. When will I die? If I can survive until now, I have already earned money."
Yang Ming said: "Dugu Gong is very courageous."
Gao Yan smiled and said, "Be careful, be careful of your biological father doing anything to you."
"I have already voluntarily resigned from my position in the military government, so I should be fine for the time being," Yang Ming said.
Gao Yan said blankly: "When did it happen?"
"Today's court meeting," Yang Ming said, "It seems that Dugu Gong no longer cares about court affairs."
Gao Yan smiled and nodded: "If I ask about the court affairs again, I'm afraid I will die faster. You have done a good job. In more than 20 years, I have only seen people with bloody heads fighting for power, not For someone who enjoys delegating power as you do, the more terrifying you are, the more His Majesty will avoid you."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I have no power in my hands and I am relaxed. I am now just like Dugu Gong, a free man. I just go to court and hang out."
Gao Jie lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "In future court meetings, speak less and try not to get involved in anything. You have to recharge your batteries. One day, it will be up to you."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I forgive you for not understanding the meaning of Dugu Gong's words."
Gao Yan smiled and said: "In the year you were born, Zhang Qiu Taiyi said a prophecy."
"It's just a prophecy," Yang Ming waved his hand.
Gao Jiong shook his head and said: "I see that your Majesty is acting arbitrarily, and he is ambitious and impatient, and does not hesitate to use the people's power. If this continues, within twenty years, the world will be in chaos. No one in the civil and military dynasties has the power to dissuade, and the affairs of the country will be in control." With the hands of one person and the heart of one person, you have conquered the world. Since you are of the bloodline of the Second Saint, you should attach great importance to Zuo, the great Sui Dynasty. When absolutely necessary, you should do the last resort."
Do you really dare to say that if this sentence spreads, all nine of your clans will be punished for it. Yang Ming was silent.
