Chapter 1300: Old Enemies and Close Relatives

Chapter 1300: Old Enemies and Close Relatives

While His Majesty the Emperor was still painting cakes and blood on the old warrior in the Ouchi Palace, there was a different scene in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison.

Gao Cheng's son Gao Yanzong avenged his father. He attacked and killed Cui Jishu in the street, who had refused to save his father. After being arrested, he has been imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion Prison. Due to the egregious and sensitive nature of this matter, the Jingzhao Government also has to consider many factors, so a final decision has not yet been made.

After Gao Yanzong was arrested, his brothers were also anxious and rushed to ask for help. After much thought and effort, they were finally allowed to visit Jingzhaofu Prison.

"Ah Wu, you are so impulsive! Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with your brothers and make a decision privately, so that nothing can be changed?"

After the brothers saw Gao Yanzong, who was wearing prison uniform and looking haggard in prison, they couldn't help but tears welling up in their eyes. Gao Xiaowan couldn't help but stamp his feet and reprimanded.

Although Gao Cheng died young, his disciples had a deep brotherhood. In addition to Gao Changgong, who died in Hebei during the previous war between the two countries, there was also his youngest son Gao Shaoxin, who was killed by soldiers in the south city of Jinyang when the king's division captured Jinyang. In addition, the other four sons all moved to Chang'an.

This time, the brothers were finally allowed to visit Gao Yanzong. Even Gao Xiaoheng, who had been bedridden since arriving in Guanzhong, also came. Seeing Gao Yanzong's haggard appearance, Gao Xiaoheng couldn't help but shed tears and said: "The lost king and grandson, You are as cheap as a dolphin or a dog. Oh, if you are willing to discuss this with your brothers, I will take the blame for this sin with my sick and disabled body..."

Gao Yanzong couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw his brothers. After hearing Gao Xiaoheng's words, he wiped away his tears and sighed: "After knowing that our Aye was killed by a thief, my brothers at home have been lamenting and cursing all day long. , if it is really a settled plan, it will be difficult for me to take over this matter. But now that it has been done, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

On the contrary, I am worried that you will be too hesitant to get things done. No matter who comes forward, this thief Cui Jishu will be finally killed, my father's revenge will be avenged, and my brother will not have to become a laughing stock in the world. As the second brother said, losing power is the most despicable thing. I don't expect to achieve great things in this life. If I can accomplish this, I have no regrets and I can die in hell! "

Hearing what Gao Yanzong said, Gao Xiaowan and others also looked ashamed. Indeed, when the brothers learned the truth and details of their father's assassination, they were extremely angry. They cursed Cui Jishu and others at home all day long, and repeatedly promised to avenge their father, but they have yet to take action.

After all, it is no longer the old days. Now they are staying in Chang'an as slaves of a subjugated country. It is not easy to maintain a stable life. If they really want to do something illegal, their families and lives may be inevitable.

So they just vented their anger verbally, but they did not expect that the youngest Gao Yanzong was the most bold and decisive, and directly turned their anger into reality, attacking and killing Cui Jishu in the street. So during this period of time, in addition to worries and worries, they also felt guilty and embarrassed.

"Cui Jishu is a traitor and a sycophant, and we have been spitting on each other for a long time! Ah Wu, you avenging your father is an act of human justice, and you should not be punished with the death penalty because of your love. My brother and I will continue to work hard, hoping to rescue you from the prison. Even if it means you can be rescued from prison. Donate your official title for this purpose..."

Gao Xiaowan looked at Gao Yanzong and said seriously again, but Gao Yanzong shook his head disapprovingly after hearing what he said: "Brother, your official title has been bestowed by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. How can you be exempted from any crime with this? If you really have a plan, brother, I will I have been in this prison for half a month, and you can come here to see me. It can be seen that there is no clever plan available. I don't resent my brother for not being able to save me. You can live peacefully outside and pass on the blood of this family. I am satisfied that the eldest son is my heir."

This boy was open-minded and accepted his fate, but what he said made his brothers even more embarrassed. Gao Xiaoheng, who was already suffering from illness, covered his face and burst into tears.

The fact is that as Gao Yanzong said, their brothers really had no good plan to rescue him. After all, Gao Yanzong's murder in the street was of a bad nature and the evidence of the crime was conclusive. The reason why the case has not yet been finalized and sentenced is mainly because Cui Jishu is surrounded by criticism.

If they want to win extra-judicial mercy, they just have to start with filial piety and the like to win the support and intercession of the big shots in the dynasty. However, their brothers' personal connections are nothing more than those from the Northern Qi Dynasty, but these people nowadays rarely hold high positions and are willing to help.

"Ah Wu, you don't have to make such a sullen statement. After visiting you today, I will visit my father-in-law's house again and ask him to introduce me to Duke Wuxiang. Duke Wuxiang Li Quji is a close confidant of the current supreme leader Yuan Cong. If he can If I get his support and plea for mercy, he will be given a lighter sentence.”

Although he didn't have any idea, Gao Xiaoyu still managed to cheer up and said.

Not long ago, Li Quji, the Duke of Wuxiang, married the daughter of Lu Zhengsi, the Lu family of Fanyang. His father-in-law, Lu Zhengshanzheng, and Lu Zhengsi were brothers, and they were somewhat related to each other. This time, the brothers were able to visit Gao Yanzong in Jingzhao Mansion Prison, and it was Li Quji who helped him to express his feelings.

Gao Xiaowan on the side also said: "Yes, although my family has lost power, it has been prominent for many years after all. Boling Cui Qian was demoted from the capital a few days ago, which shows that the current Supreme Being is not particularly close to this family. As long as he finds the right path, he will be able to succeed in the future. Room for ease.

Not only are our brothers working hard to rescue us, but our tenth uncle is also not idle. Now we have gone to the Qi State Duke's Mansion to ask for an audience. If we can persuade the Qi State Duke's government to speak out for help, then things will be even easier to handle! "

"Mr. Qi? Whose family is this? How is it related to my family?"

Although Gao Yanzong was open-minded and resigned to his fate, he would certainly be happy if he could be exempted from punishment. When he heard his brothers say another method, he immediately became curious.

But after hearing this question, Gao Xiaowan and his brothers looked a little unnatural. When Gao Yanzong asked again, he whispered: "The Duke of Qi is the title of Yuwen Heita, and now his son Yuwen Pu has inherited it. But, but the birth mother of this Duke of Qi is, is also the birth mother of our tenth uncle..."

"There is such a thing? My family is related to Yuwen Heita's family? Are you guys lying to me? This is really, really unbelievable!"

Even though this matter is related to his own life, when Gao Yanzong heard the explanation of Gao Xiaowan and others, he couldn't help but widen his eyes for a while, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Their tenth uncle Gao Xi is now the Duke of Linzhang County. He is the adopted son of their grandfather Gao Huan, but he is actually a brother of the adopted son of Yuwen Heita? This is really hard to accept. After so many years of fighting each other, the two tribes became one family in the end?
