The envoy Li Ning brought Empress Mochizuki's two sisters-in-law to Shuoyun, originally intending to marry. This is another very good move for the two countries to establish diplomatic relations. The people all want to live a peaceful life, and the war only brings suffering, so the arrival of the Mochizuki envoy is also very welcome.

However, the rumors that Gongsun Yi or Gu Shuiyue killed the two sisters of Empress Mochizuki were rampant, and this rumor intensified, and some people even said that King Yun wanted to provoke disputes for the sake of military exploits.

In the hearts of the people, King Yun is the god of war, guarding the peace of Shuoyun, and now he is provoking a war for his selfish desires, and the people's impression of him has suddenly changed.

"This method is really clever, and these crimes are imposed on King Yun, which can not only reduce the prestige of King Yun and the people's love for King Yun, but also hold King Yun accountable. Such a thing has never happened in the history of Shuoyun. In the sixteenth year of Jingli, the Tibetan envoy entered Shuoyun and clashed with the son of the official Shangshu, resulting in the death of the Tibetan envoy, and the emperor killed the only son of the official Shangshu in order to appease the Tubo and the people. Gu Shuiyue said, "The other party is menacing, and it is aimed at the Yunwang Mansion." ”

"Niangniang, how can the only son of the Ministry of Shangshu be compared with the prince? The prince has a lot of power, if there is no prince, where is the peace of Shuoyun now? How can they want the prince's life because the prince is suspected of harming Gu Tianshu?" Yu Yu felt that Gu Shuiyue's words had loopholes, and couldn't help but retort.

Gu Shuiyue chuckled: "The other party is taking advantage of the weakness of people's hearts. The people are the most susceptible to instigation, they cherish the peaceful days, and if someone tries to destroy their life, they will resist with all their might. What is past is always just the past. Moreover, the other party's purpose is Gongsun Yi's life. ”

Not only Gongsun Yi's life, but also the lives of the entire Yunwang Mansion.

Gu Shuiyue had already guessed who was behind the scenes.

There is no one who can want Gongsun Yi's life like this, and he has spent so much effort.

"Niangniang, then what should we do?" Yu Yu couldn't help but say, "If this rumor continues for a long time, it will be unfavorable to Yunwang Mansion!"

It's summer. Gu Shuiyue was lying on the bamboo chair in the courtyard, the sun was shining on her face, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, calm and unfathomable.

A sly smile appeared on Gu Shuiyue's face: "Rumors are actually a kind of weapon, it reverses black and white, kills people without seeing blood, and the minds of people who use this weapon are also very vicious. It's very difficult to refute rumors now, and I've been thinking about it for two whole days, and to deal with such rumors, it's 'curing rumors with rumors'. ”

Next, there were various rumors about the death of the Gu sisters.

Some people say that the Gu sisters were asked for their lives by evil ghosts because they did a lot of evil, and some people say that someone killed Gu Tianshu in order to frame King Yun. In addition to the rumors that are contrary to the previous rumors, there are also the rumors that helped the previous ones.

For example, Gongsun Yi saw that Gu Tianshu looked good and had bad intentions, Gu Tianshu refused to obey and died of poison.

These rumors are true or false, and the people are beginning to be at a loss, and the rumors, which were extremely unfavorable to Gongsun Yi, are now divided into two factions.

Some people say that King Yun and Princess Yun have such a deep relationship, King Yun even dismissed the backyard for the sake of King Yun's mansion, besides, even if Gu Tianshu has a bit of beauty, how can he compare with Princess Yun? Isn't this nonsense? There are even guards in King Yun's mansion who confirm that King Yun has no meaning for Gu Tianshu.

So, some people couldn't help but wonder, did someone deliberately frame King Yun?

The other faction insisted that the Cloud King had bad intentions and wanted to provoke a war.

This is reflected in the two major factions of the people, but in fact it is an invisible contest between two people.

One is in the Yunwang Mansion and the other is in the Yongshou Palace, and the two have not met, but they have already completed a confrontation.

Listening to the report of her subordinates, Concubine Lian couldn't help laughing: "This Gu Shuiyue is really unusual, she actually cracked the plan of the palace so easily. However, this time I am afraid that she will be disappointed, because this palace's plan is not limited to this. ”

Concubine Pian held the hole card in her hand, and that hole card was Li Ning, the envoy of the moon.

When these two rumors were rampant, Mochizuki's envoy Li Ning asked the emperor to ask King Yun for his guilt

Tide.

If the previous rumors were still limited to the common people, then Li Ning's plea affected the bureaucracy.

After Li Ning asked for his life, the emperor hurriedly rushed several important ministers to discuss the matter.

These important ministers include Prime Minister Wang Yun, Imperial Envoy and Gao Taiwei, as well as six Shangshu.

The emperor slammed the notebook to the ground: "Li Ning is too much, it was only the two Gu sisters who died, he actually wanted to hold the Yun Wangfu accountable and let me give him an explanation! The Yun King is a meritorious hero of this dynasty, how could I dispose of the Yun King for the sake of two women?"

The emperor's words seemed to protect King Yun everywhere, but in fact, he pushed King Yun to a position of pampering and arrogance.

"Your Majesty, King Yun does have merit, but he can't rely on merit to do nonsense!" Gao Taiwei knew the emperor's thoughts, and immediately said.

The emperor nodded: "King Yun has indeed gone too far in this matter, and it is related to the diplomatic relations between Shuoyun and Mochizuki......"

After Gao Taiwei picked up the bookpost on the ground and read it, he said: "Li Ning's words on this bookpost are very fierce, he is an envoy, and what he said has some weight in front of Emperor Mochizuki. Moreover, if Emperor Mochizuki has bad intentions, he will take this opportunity to fight again. At that time, Mochizuki had the right time and place, which was very unfavorable to Shuoyun. ”

Gao Taiwei's words made the emperor fall into deep thought.

"Even so, it can't be as Li Ning wrote on this bookpost, exchanging King Yun's life for Gu Tianshu's life. The Emperor said decisively.

"Naturally, I can't listen to Li Ning, I'm a big country, do I still have to be subject to Mochizuki? The minister means that Your Majesty can dispose of King Yun meaningfully, such as exempting King Yun from the title and calling it 'deposed'. ”

The emperor pondered for a while, and only after a while did he say: "That can only be so, I decreed to depose Gongsun Yi's title of 'King of Yun', take back the fief, and temporarily lead King Yun's 300,000 army to Gao Taiwei." This is also an expedient measure, for Mochizuki to see, King Yun should not care about these reputations. What do you think?"

Deposing the title and recovering military power, isn't this a clear attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to empty the Cloud King?

All the important ministers are old foxes, and they have long seen that the emperor and Gao Taiwei are singing a double reed, and this is the purpose they want.

The emperor has decided, what else do they have to say, they can only review the emperor's proposal individually.

As soon as this secret court meeting ended, a letter was delivered to Gongsun Yi, and the letter recorded the contents of the court meeting in detail.

After Gongsun Yi finished reading it, his face changed suddenly.

"He can't wait for my life anymore, I can't sit still. Gongsun Yi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.

There were only two people in the room, Gongsun Yi and Gu Shuiyue.

After reading the letter, Gu Shuiyue fell into deep thought, not affected by the cold air emanating from Gongsun Yi's body in the slightest.

"Does the prince mean to rebel?" Gu Shuiyue asked.

"It's not the best time, but the emperor didn't leave me alive. As long as his holy decree comes down, and when Gao Taiwei really takes over my 300,000 troops, it will be too late. ”

"Therefore that decree cannot be given. Gu Shuiyue said.

Gongsun Yi looked at Gu Shuiyue: "The emperor will not give up such a good opportunity." ”

"What I'm curious about is why Li Ning is willing to become the emperor's pawn. ”

"What he wants is the life of this king, and he wants to avenge Gu Tianlan. ”

Gu Shuiyue couldn't help but look at Gongsun Yi: "The prince already knows?"

"What he does seems to be secretive, but in fact, every move is in the eyes of many people. Li Ning has been investigating the big war a year ago, but I used some means in that big war. Gongsun Yi said. His eyes flashed, as if some bad memories flashed, and he was a little gloomy.

Gu Shuiyue was stunned for a moment.

In fact, in that battle, her death and the destruction of the 100,000-strong army, Li Yejin and Gu Tianqing were the masterminds, but Gongsun Yi was the accomplice.

From Gongsun Yi's point of view, the battlefield is deceitful, and what he did is not wrong, but from Gu Tianlan's position, Gongsun Yi is an accomplice.

And when Li Ning wanted to avenge her, she shared the bed with Gongsun Yi. This is actually a problem that Gu Shuiyue has been ignoring for a long time, and now it is placed in front of her nakedly and has to be solved.

"The key to this matter is actually Li Ning. Li Ning insisted that you killed Gu Tianshu, and the emperor disposed of you in order to give Li Ning an explanation. If Li Ning no longer insists, then the emperor will have no excuse to dispose of you. Gu Shuiyue quickly saw the crux of the problem, "I have to go and see Li Ning." ”

Gongsun Yi looked at Gu Shuiyue with calm eyes, as if he wanted to explore something from her eyes.

Gu Shuiyue's face remained unchanged, but she was vaguely uneasy in her heart.

Gongsun Yi suddenly smiled: "Concubine Ai is running around so much for her husband, and she can marry such a lady, and it is a blessing for her husband to be a husband." However, the relationship between Li Ning and Gu Tianlan is not ordinary, even if the lady is sharp-toothed, I am afraid that he cannot be moved. ”

"Then I'll have to try it too. The prince rebelled at this time, and he just confirmed the rumor - King Yun deliberately provoked a war. If you rebel at this time, you will lose the hearts of the people. Gu Shuiyue said.

Gongsun Yi was silent for a moment, rubbed Gu Shuiyue's hair, sighed and said, "What the lady said is true. ”

The Emperor did use this opportunity to drive him into a corner.

Qingxin Pavilion is a royal business, which is generally used to live for envoys of various countries, and Li Ning lives in this Qingxin Pavilion.

On the night of this day, he had just made a pot of tea from the West Lake Longjing when he welcomed a guest.

The person who came was dressed in a black cloak, which completely concealed his figure.

Li Ning just poured the tea, and glanced at her with slanted eyes: "I just made tea, it's really time for the guests to come." ”

"Then thank you, Lord Li. A soft voice rang out.

The visitor took off his cloak and revealed a face that was seven points pure and three points charming.

Gu Shuiyue walked to the opposite side of Li Ning and sat down, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Lord Li is willing to be a chess piece, and that Ninety-Five Venerable rewarded you with such a thing?"
