Overnight, the sky of Daxing seemed to be stained red with blood, in this bloody storm, Yan's father and son were like the judges who held the pen, everyone's life and death were just a few names he wrote, as everyone expected, this was not a great rebellion against the word crime, but an excellent knife for Yan's father and son to eradicate dissidents.

Now not only the people under Zhang Huaizong, even if they have jumped out to impeach the Yan father and son in the past, those who are not in harmony with them will be inexplicably written on their names and become the proofreaders of the water collection or private collectors.

Today's Daxing seems to be covered in the rain, even ordinary people are huddled at home, afraid to open the door to do business, the always lively Suzaku Street seems to be much more deserted than before, not to mention the current court. Everyone was in a hurry.

It's just a few days, countless officials have been pulled down, strangled by strangulation, exiled by exile, degraded by debasement, at this moment, Yan's father and son have completely become the winners of this struggle, and they have also completely gained a firm foothold, Yan Weizhang, who was almost hollowed out in the cabinet in the past, has become the real helmsman of the cabinet in a blink of an eye, which makes people dare not offend easily.

That night, the snow on the ground had accumulated a few feet thick, and all the cornices and leaves were covered with a layer of white, and under the eaves hung flawless ice crystals, drop after drop of ice water slid down the ice crystals, condensed on the ice tip, and only after a long time slipped down and melted on the rocks.

In the distance, a faint light gradually approached, and looking at the lamp under the corridor, Gu Yanling was wearing the firefox cloak that Xiao Yi had hunted with his own hands, and was carefully supported by Yu Bi, and gradually came towards this direction.

Fang An, who was guarding under the porch, saw it, hurriedly took the silk lamp from the hand of the servant beside him, and hurriedly stepped forward to illuminate the girl.

When the girl came to the porch, she looked at the servants under the porch, and then looked sideways at the Dibi beside her and said, "You stay here." ”

When the girl loosened the tie of the cloak, she quickly took the cloak and shook the snow for the girl, and held it in her arms, and at this time, the girl had already pushed the door open and walked in, and Bibi and Fang An hurriedly closed the door here, and respectfully guarded the door, not letting anyone approach.

Walking through the warm main hall, Gu Yanling turned around and walked inside, just after arriving at the soft curtain, he had already heard the voices of his father and grandfather, Gu Yanling did not hesitate, directly opened the soft curtain, and slowly walked in.

The sound in the room suddenly stopped, when they saw Gu Yanling, Gu Jingxi and Xie Yun couldn't help but be stunned, and when Gu Yanling's gaze intersected with Xie Yun, they were also a little surprised. Only Gu Zhengde was the only one, but he was quite calm, but he said kindly: "Here, sit down." ”

Gu Yanling saluted respectfully, and then sat aside from the goodness.

In fact, from the girl's discussion of Gu Zihan's trip to Liaodong in this study that night, Gu Zhengde has seen a strategy different from the back house from this granddaughter, and in the matter of dealing with the eldest princess Zhaomao, he has seen the girl's means and courage, if there is no accident in the future daughter's family, it will be for the future, and at that moment, the former dynasty and the harem have been connected together.

Since this granddaughter's resourcefulness is not under the eyebrows, she should cultivate it well, and in the future, she can also provide them with an extra layer of protection.

As for Xie Yun, when Zhang Ge Lao was leaving, he had already said that he would be a capable minister in the future in the future, let him give him more guidance. Many times, although Zhang Ge Lao is not his teacher, he is no different from a teacher, a teacher for one day and a teacher for life, although Ge Lao is gone, but he is still willing to listen to his words.

What's more, through the observation of Xie Yun these days, although he is young, he has a steadiness and forbearance that does not belong to this age, and in a short period of time, he has already had an excellent reputation in the Hanlin Academy, and these have not much to do with the Xie family behind him.

Sometimes, personal charm can attract people more than a strong family background.

And Xie Yun obviously belongs to the former, but he has the latter.

Such a person will become a great man in the future.

When the room was quiet, the warmth of the earth dragon gradually rose, Gu Zhengde looked at the girl under the seat, and said quite calmly: "Tomorrow, Shang Le will play to His Majesty to impeach me from the party, Yan Ge Lao and Yan Houzhao want to completely expel me from the cabinet." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Jingxi and Xie Yun were not surprised because they had already talked about this matter, but the girl sitting there, even if she heard this, did not show a trace of surprise and shock.

However, everyone here knows very well that Zhang Huaizong has gone, and the protégés who were once everywhere have almost been eradicated, and the first and auxiliary party that was once famous in this great xing court and has six powerful departments has collapsed.

And tomorrow, in the situation where the Yan family and his son occupy all the advantages, it will be the last game with the Gu family.

But now, only the first assistant Yan Weizhang is left in the cabinet, and the honest man Li Yong in the middle, and Gu Zhengde, the second assistant, whether it is in terms of seniority or seniority, Gu Zhengde does not have enough ability to compete with Yan Weizhang, who has been sitting in the old position of the cabinet for 25 years, so he can only fall into passivity.

"Your father and Brother Yun think that I will defend myself tomorrow. ”

When Gu Zhengde said this, he quietly looked at the girl under the seat and didn't say any more.

A faint smile appeared in Gu Yanling's eyes when he heard this, what his father and Xie Yun thought was indeed a way to get out, because although his grandfather had a very good relationship with Zhang Ge, it was more because of the grace of his guidance back then, and his grandfather had always been a bright and upright person in court and politics, and he had never treated himself as an old protégé of Zhang Ge.

Even in Zhang Gelao's eyes, his grandfather was only his most trusted colleague, and he was by no means a doorman in his later life.

Based on this, coupled with the current status of the Gu family, Emperor Jianheng will indeed not condemn his grandfather because of this, because once he shakes his grandfather, he will shake the entire Gu family, and now the Gu family is married to the East Palace, and the next step will be to shake the interests of the East Palace.

In fact, the Yan father and son also understand this, so they handed over such a thankless task to the people below to do, because they didn't want to take care of the family's life like they did with other first auxiliary parties, but just wanted to pull their grandfather down from the position of secondary assistant, so that his grandfather could be a prince of the country in peace.

"It's true, it's a way out. ”

The girl's voice sounded in the room, the candle flame on the desk shook slightly, and a moth flew into the lampshade at some point, crackling and flapping its wings, trying to chase the fiery light, but it was scorching.

Gu Zhengde calmly looked at the girl under the seat, from the girl's eyes, he saw the unfinished words, as he expected, Gu Yanling turned his head slightly, looking at the shadow of the moth slapping on the lampshade, the corners of the girl's lips were slightly hooked, but she said something surprising.

"It's just that Ah Jiu doesn't know whether his grandfather wants to be a Dingguo Duke who doesn't care about the world, or a pavilion elder who has something to do. ”

The girl's voice was extremely low, so low that she could only hear it clearly by holding her breath, but the moment the words fell, the people in the room, including Xie Yun, were all slightly stunned.

Almost without weighing it, Gu Zhengde slowly stood up, walked down step by step with his hands behind his back, and his voice was low and full of ambition.

"Mr. Yang Ming pursued the reason all his life, but finally had an epiphany, which is in his heart. (Note: Wang Yangming is the destined Wang Shouren.) ）

Gu Zhengde turned his back to the three people in the room, and was silent for a long time, then he turned sideways, and said with seriousness and awe-inspiring eyes in his eyes: "I only recognize this principle in my life, this reason, in the hearts of people, in the way of heaven, and in the truth." ”

In just one sentence, the most sonorous and powerful answer has been made.

Zhang's backbone is up and down, even if she is a woman, she is not willing to laugh at the officialdom banquet, and kills herself with a knife to show her integrity.

They take care of their families, and they never lack righteousness.

Gu Yanling looked at his grandfather, who had never shown himself like this, and saw the blood and ambition in the eyes of his father and Xie Yun, and pride and pride gradually surged in his heart.

The girl stood up solemnly, took out a letter from her sleeve, and handed it to Gu Zhengde without hesitation.

This is the evidence of Yan Weizhang's protégé, Wu Jiang, the governor of Huguang, who used this speculation to exclude dissidents and murder loyal ministers on trumped-up charges. ”

Gu Zhengde's eyes paused slightly when he heard this, and almost instantly, Xie Yun on the side understood the intention, and couldn't help but move his eyes slightly: "What does my cousin mean, let Guogong personally play it, so as to impeach?"

In Gu Zhengde's shocked eyes, the corners of the girl's lips were hooked, and she nodded firmly.

"Where did you come from?"

When Gu Yanling heard this, he looked at the things in Gu Zhengde's hand, then raised his eyes, and said in a calm and quiet voice: "It's Xiao Yi, the eldest grandson of Ah Jiutuo, who ordered the people around him to go to Huguang in person to collect evidence, and now there are both human and physical evidence." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Zhengde's eyes, and a thought that had never appeared before gradually appeared in his heart, even though it became clearer and clearer, but he still wanted to listen to the girl tell him in person, it seemed that in this way, he could believe it more.

And at this moment, at the moment when Gu Jingxi had not yet sorted it out, Xie Yun had gradually understood that if this was the case, then according to Jiu'er's approach, the Gu family would not only not be hit hard by this, but would stand more stable.

Gu Yanling took in the changes in the expressions of everyone present, and followed Gu Jingxi's gesture, and gradually said a truth that everyone was aware of because of the girl just now, but they didn't dare to be easily sure.

And this truth has deceived the Yan father and son, the former Shoufu Party and the current Yan Party, and even deceived the whole world.

"As my grandfather thinks now, the Yan father and son, in this killing, have never been the ones who hold the judge's pen, they-"

The girl's quiet eyes were deep and restrained at this moment, and her voice had been suppressed to the extreme, before she calmly overflowed a sentence.

"It's just a knife from Your Majesty. ”
