The Burnt Man
Chapter 93 The Burnt Man
Splendid Palace.
Zhao Huan lay comfortably on the bed, with Concubine Chen Gui lying on his body.
Although there are three thousand beauties in the harem, Zhao Huan still loves Chen Guifei the most.
No way, Zhao Huan was able to find the confidence of a man with Concubine Chen.
"Officials, Captain Gao is asking for an audience outside the hall."
The eunuch's report sounded outside the hall.
Zhao Huan was squinting his eyes to enjoy, when he heard this, he waved his hands and said:
"Let him wait outside the hall for a while."
After saying this, Zhao Huan patted Concubine Chen Gui, signaling to her that he still had something to do here.
Chen Guifei understands.
"Official, you are good or bad."
Zhao Huan was very satisfied, patted Concubine Chen Gui to signal her to get up, and then said proudly:
"What's wrong with me?"
Concubine Chen Gui felt a little uncomfortable in her throat, so she said to Zhao Huan:
"Officials, Captain Gao is still waiting outside, is there something urgent?"
Zhao Huan took a deep breath and said to the little eunuch outside:
"Go, let Gao Taiwei come in."
"The concubine retreats first."
Chen Guifei said to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said:
"No, just ask someone to lower the curtain."
Gao Qiu is just an eunuch, Zhao Huan is very relieved of him.
Soon, Gao Qiu came in from outside the hall. He seemed to know that Zhao Huan and Concubine Chen were inside. After entering, he lowered his head and stared at his toes.
"Gao Qiu, what's the matter with you?"
Zhao Huan asked lazily.
"Officials, His Royal Highness King Jia wanted to escape, but was intercepted by the officials from outside the city gate..."
Gao Qiu said softly.
Zhao Huan frowned slightly, his younger brother ran quite fast.
"Hmph, show him to me, and you must not let him run away."
Concubine Chen Guifei interrupted at this time and said:
"Officials, change will come later, according to the courtiers and concubines, it's better to let His Royal Highness King Jia take Yin Rou on an envoy."
Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, this was a good idea, the army of the Kingdom of Jin had already reached the edge of the Yellow River, at this time, the sooner the peace talks were successful, the safer his throne would be.
"Is there any news about the first wave of envoys sent out for peace talks?"
Zhao Huan asked softly.
"Reporting to the official family, there is news that the first wave of envoys was detained by Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu said that since Song Dynasty wanted to get married, he had to show a little sincerity in the peace talks and let the officials send the envoys first. Di Ji sent it over..."
Gao Qiu said softly below, he came here in a hurry at this time, and he wanted to report this matter to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan nodded, not aware of anything wrong with what Jin Guo said, and said to Gao Qiu:
"Since this is the case, there will be many nights and dreams. I will immediately revise a letter of the state, and let King Jia take Yin Rou to the camp of the Jin Kingdom tomorrow."
"Of course, I'm going to prepare now, sir."
"Okay, let's go down."
Zhao Huan felt as if he had solved a huge problem, and he felt in a good mood at this moment.
Gao Qiu has always been called a treacherous official by the imperial historians, and the papers asking him to be exiled have never been broken, but Zhao Huan did not deal with Gao Qiu.
Why did emperors like to use treacherous ministers in history? The main reason is that treacherous ministers are really easy to use. No matter what you say, treacherous ministers will not raise objections, and they will complete the project with quality and quantity.
If it were you, you would definitely hope that the people around you would listen to you, instead of making yourself unhappy like those loyal ministers who insisted hard.
Gao Qiu bent down and retreated, from the beginning to the end, Gao Qiu did not raise his head.
Zhao Huan noticed this small detail and was satisfied, this Gao Qiu is really sensible.
Coming out of Jinxiu Palace, Gao Qiu hummed a ditty. Life will always have ups and downs. Last year, he fled south with the old emperor. As a result, Gao Qiu and Tong Guan had a conflict on the way, so Zhao Ji left Gao Qiu in Sizhou.
Originally thought that being excluded from Zhao Ji's inner circle, Gao Qiu would be devastated, but who knew that Gao Qiu would embrace Xinjun's thigh again because of this.
Now Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others are dying and exiled, but Gao Qi is still the evergreen tree in the Song Dynasty hall.
It was not until dark that Gao Qiu finished handling what Zhao Huan had told him, and selected a hundred imperial guards to escort King Jia and Emperor Yin Rou to the Jin army camp.
These people are all experts in the army, nominally to protect King Jia and Yin Rou, but more in fact they want to prevent these two from escaping.
Zhao Huan is an emperor who has no opinion, he is nepotism, he is not even comparable to the old emperor Zhao Ji, Gao Qiujue, he will soon become Zhao Huan's absolute confidant.
Gao Qiu, who was in a good mood, walked out of the palace gate humming a little song, and then saw the old housekeeper waiting outside the gate.
"What's the matter?"
When Gao Lian saw the housekeeper at home, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Lang Jun, it's not good, Mr. Ximen is dead."
The old housekeeper said softly.
"what?"
Gao Qiu froze for a moment, and asked in surprise.
It wasn't long before Gao Yanei died. At that time, because he had just joined Zhao Huan's interest group, he was cautious in dealing with things, so he didn't go into details about Gao Taiwei's death.
After all, he is just a adopted son, not his own son, and he will die when he dies, and he can recognize another one.
But the foster son he was about to recognize just now died again in the blink of an eye.
Is this to make yourself extinct?
No, he himself is an eunuch, and he has long been extinct.
Thinking of this, Gao Qiu suddenly felt less uncomfortable.
"How did you die?"
Gao Qiu asked with a frown.
"The one who was burned to death, Mr. Ximen clashed with a group of old women in the building..."
The old butler briefly told Gao Lian what had happened.
"The group of old bastards killed Ximen Road?"
Gao Qiu asked softly.
The old butler shook his head and said:
"Probably not. After Mr. Ximen revealed his identity, the group of old bastards became honest. Only one of them beat Mr. Ximen and escaped in the chaos..."
After Gao Lian finished listening, he didn't speak, and the inside of the carriage was a little depressed for a while.
When they arrived at Gao Mansion, everyone in Ximen's family knelt in front of Gao Qiu, begging Gao Qiu to uphold justice for his child.
Gao Qiu stepped forward and gently pulled off the cloth covering Ximen Lu's body, revealing Ximen Lu's pitch-black body.
At this time, the man had already turned into a charred charcoal.
It looks a little shocking.
