Chapter 228: Behind the Scenes

However, in a few days, Zhao Prison groped for Wang Yunzhi and Wang Wenzhi to find out many officials who bribed with him, and the court once again fell into a situation where everyone was in danger, almost less than half a month, a group of officials from Beijing to the local government were beheaded, in the eyes of the people, these people are corrupt officials who are flattered to the Wang brothers, and in the eyes of the discerning people, these officials are all the party that supports the eldest princess of Zhaomao.

After this bloodbath, the eldest princess Zhaomao, who once had a lot of power in the court, became completely alone, although she avoided a catastrophe and saved herself, but she was cut off her left and right hands, and she could only stay alone in the house, watching and powerless. As for the Wang brothers, there was almost no suspense, and they couldn't bear it as early as Zhao Prison and lost their lives.

And in the blink of an eye, Daxing has entered the hottest July, the autumn hunt is set at the end of September, because it is the emperor's personal activities, now two months in advance has been prepared, and the accompanying list is also quite surprising, the imperial concubine is set Ning Guifei, Cheng Guifei, and since the eldest princess Zhaomao was punished, but the favor of Zhao Guiren, and now the concubine, only the elderly Queen Mother is left in the palace, by the Yuan Empress Dang.

Among the princes and grandsons, Emperor Jianheng actually let the emperor's eldest grandson, the ninth son of the emperor, and the fourteenth son of the emperor accompany him, leaving the second son of the emperor, King Huai, to stay in the capital. Such a list was issued, which made the Huaiwang Party happy, but made those old ministers loyal to the East Palace feel sorry for themselves.

It stands to reason that if the emperor leaves the capital, the prince should stay behind, but the prince of the East Palace is weak, so the eldest grandson of the emperor has been taught by Emperor Jianheng since he was a child, and now he acquiesces to the emperor's eldest grandson involved in court affairs. Then the matter of staying in Beijing should also be brought by the emperor's eldest grandson.

But now that Emperor Jianheng has left King Huai, it is inevitable that people will think more.

On this day, the sunset floats in the sky, the sunset that falls on the mountain still passes through the clouds, plating it with a layer of faint and warm golden mang, the summer of July has dissipated a lot, occasionally a gust of wind hits slightly, the apricot red skirt that blows slightly flyes, and suddenly there are a few geese crying overhead, Gu Yanling, who walks under the corridor, pauses slightly, raises his head, and sees a line of wild geese flying away through the eaves of the corridor.

A gentle smile crossed the corner of the girl's lips, and then she withdrew her gaze and continued walking, and there was silence all around, only the sound of insects in the shallow grass brought a little liveliness.

When Gu Yanling and his entourage came to the outside of Yuqing Palace, the palace people who were originally on duty there were all stunned, and then bowed their heads happily to say goodbye, Gu Yanling's lips were rarely a little friendly, and she walked straight to the main hall, and just crossed the last palace door, she saw an indigo figure standing under the corridor opposite.

When she met Xiao Yi's gentle and waiting gaze, Gu Yanling's eyes were slightly warm, and for a moment, she felt that the two of them were like a couple who had been separated for a short time.

Maybe this is kindness, no matter how tired you are, when you come back, you can always see that familiar figure, waiting for you under the faint lamp.

Gu Yanling lifted her skirt and walked down the stone steps, walking straight towards Xiao Yi, and before she was blessed, those gentle hands had already helped her up.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Yanling stood up along Xiao Yi's hand, then looked sideways at the palace maid of Kunning Palace behind him and said, "I used to talk to the queen mother with my aunt in Kunning Palace, and it happened that the queen mother made some snacks, and the queen mother said that these are all your favorite foods, so she asked me to send them to you." ”

"Thank you. ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Gu Yanling couldn't help but chuckle, and then heard Xiao Yi say: "You are afraid of the heat, go into the house to cool down." ”

When they came to the house, the palace maid of Kunning Palace had already quietly set up the snacks, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The slaves and maids have retired." ”

The hall fell into silence again, Gu Yanling walked to Xiao Yi's book case at ease, saw the book spread on the case, read half of the book, couldn't help but pick it up, when her eyes fell on the title of the book, she couldn't help laughing.

"Xijing Miscellaneous? (Note: "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" is the history of the barnyard officials of the Western Han Dynasty, which is considered to be interesting in the wild history.) οΌ‰

Xiao Yi held a small plate of rose jujube cake in his hand, fed one to his mouth, walked over and pretended to be casual: "I heard that you like it, so I turned it over, and after reading a few articles, I thought it was really interesting." ”

Gu Yanling heard that the book was still on the reading page and spread it on the desk, and as soon as she turned her head, a hot jujube cake was handed to her mouth, and when she saw Xiao Yi with a pair of smiling eyes, she didn't push back, opened her mouth and bit it into her mouth, and then took the other half in her hand.

"The list of the autumn hunt this time, the queen is still talking. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi put the plate of dim sum in his hand on the table, and then helped Gu Yanling to sit down, and he moved a brocade to sit next to him.

"Now you and I are obviously in the palace, and we don't see each other often, but when we go to the autumn hunt, I can see you every day, this attendant list-"

Xiao Yi said and pondered, then turned his head, and said with a cunning in his eyes: "It's exactly what I want." ”

Gu Yanling was a little helpless when he heard this, but he still couldn't help laughing, everyone else was anxious about the "fall from grace" of the East Palace now, but his deity was not salty or light, and he was very leisurely.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanling immediately picked up his eyes, and angrily stuffed the remaining half of the jujube cake in his hand into his mouth.

"Now that there is no one else in the house, you are still sloppy with me, don't you have anything to forget to tell me?"

Xiao Yi smiled silently and ate the half of the jujube cake in his mouth, and handed a cup of tea to Gu Yanling quite sincerely: "Because I know that you know, I don't know where to start." ”

Looking at the pretending to be serious in front of him, Gu Yanling took the teacup, didn't drink it or let it go, only pinched it in his hand, and pretended to be indifferent: "I don't know when you had such a good relationship with your cousin, and now everything is hidden from me." ”

"That day, when Xie Yun went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”

Gu Yanling saw that Xiao Yi deliberately answered the question, and he was not angry, so he just unhurriedly pulled out a snow-blue embroidered bag from his sleeve.

"Remember what I said on my birthday? I originally wanted to make an embroidered bag for you, but now that I look at it, it seems that I don't need it, so it's better to give it to my eldest brother." ”

Before the words fell, Gu Yanling heard Xiao Yi's cough in his ears.

Gu Yanling looked sideways, only to see Xiao Yi groaning, still succumbing to the embroidered bag.

"Xie Yun and I are both afraid that you will be worried about this matter, and it will inevitably make the princes and their wives worried, so we want to hide it and let the two of us figure out a way. ”

Gu Yanling saw Xiao Yi's gaze fall on the embroidered bag in her hand, and deliberately put it back in her sleeve and said, "So you are alone with me, and this time there is such a big move." ”

The direct ministers of the two dynasties brought the blood letters of the people to ask for their lives, and the Wang brothers almost forced the people to rebel on impulse, which caused the Daxing officials to reprimand in unison, which looked fierce and dangerous, but it was just a game of chess between Xiao Yi and Xie Yun in front of them, which allowed them to swallow all the chess pieces of the eldest princess of Zhaomao without any involvement, and it was a complete reversal.

All of this is designed to be stable, accurate, and more ruthless, so that the eldest princess Zhaomao has no time to react, and even if she reacts, it is difficult to turn the tide.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.

This is an eternal truth.

"Let me guess. ”

Gu Yanling suddenly relaxed, folded his hands on the armrests, and said to Xiao Yi: "The girl who avenged her grievances was saved by you, and you also specially guided her and asked her to ask Chen Zhi's friends for help, and the grievances naturally fell into Chen Zhi's ears, how can it not be ignored?

"It's a dear friend of Lord Chen. ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's answer, everything couldn't be clearer, if Zhao Mao knew that everything she planned was actually cut off by Xiao Yi and Xie Yun, the two juniors, I really don't know what she should think.

"Lord Chen is a good official who asks for the people's life. ”

Xiao Yi's originally relaxed expression gradually became serious and deep at this moment.

"Wang Wenzhi's evil behavior of covering the sky with one hand, Nanjing is known from top to bottom, but no one is willing to manage, no one dares to manage, which puts the people of Nanjing in dire straits. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yanling was silent, but he put his hand on the back of Xiao Yi's hand, and the words he said stirred up Xiao Yi's ideals and ambitions buried deep in his heart.

"Therefore, in the future of Daxing, you need to use these loyal ministers and righteous men who are for Daxing and ask for the lives of the people, punish the corrupt officials, and create another prosperous era. ”

Hearing the girl's deep and determined words, Xiao Yi silently looked at each other, and between the two of them, they finally smiled.

"Now that this time has passed, it will be over, but if there is any more deception in the futureβ€”"

Gu Yanling turned his head abruptly, and when he said this, he deliberately paused, but Xiao Yi hurriedly said, "No more." ”

After the words fell, the girl turned her head leisurely, and then took out the embroidered bag from her sleeve and handed it over, Xiao Yi pinched it in her hand, rubbed the embroidery on the embroidery bag, and her eyes were slightly warm.

"This is for my eldest brother and cousin, you will send it for me when you arrive. ”

When the other two delicate embroidered bags were handed to him, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little helpless, it was rare to receive the girl's things, it turned out that he was not the only one, and suddenly he was a little envious of these two eldest brothers.

And when he took the two embroidered bags, he found that his embroidery bags were a little different, and his heart immediately moved, until he touched a cold jade plate from his embroidery bags, and saw a clean "age" engraved on it from under the lamp.

Almost instantly, the helplessness gradually turned into warmth and joy, and even the corners of the lips were involuntarily hooked.

Because of the word "age" at a glance, you can see that it is a girl's font.
