Although it is common for the Gu family's father and son to quarrel, it is the first time that Gu Chongzhi has grown so big and has been slapped with all his might from his father. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info His eyes were red with anger, and he immediately said loudly: "I don't have a father like you!" ”

"Son!" Hearing such rebellious words, Gu Man's slap was imprinted on Gu Chongzhi's face again.

This slap went down, and Gu Chong's teeth were bleeding. He spit it out violently, wiped it with his sleeve again, and was even more annoyed, "He Shen Shichong is your benevolent and righteous brother, you do everything for him!" What about me? I'm your son! Since you were a child, in addition to scolding me and belittling me, have you ever given me half a point? ”

A dignified man, tears of grievance and hatred oozed from his eyes. Gu Man saw it, and he didn't know whether he should be angry that he didn't succeed, or angry that he had no way to teach his son. Seeing his child, who lacked the love of his mother since he was a child, snatched the door, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Gu Chongzhi came outside and made an oath to the sky: "Shen Shichong!" I want you to die without a place to be buried! ”

Coincidentally, on this day, the crown prince Liu Zhuo was also in a very bad mood. In the court, he proudly said that he had scavenged a lot of money from Ning'an Hou and Shen Zhizhou, as well as the son of a wealthy merchant in Ning'an. Of course, he only said that he had persuaded Ning Anhou and others to raise donations, and the purpose was only to prepare for war.

The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who doesn't know that he is tyrannical? But it's basically flattery. What is surprising is that Emperor Wen, who took the "elixir" all day long to strengthen his essence and only cared about longevity and health, is different from usual today. He squinted, touched his long beard, and asked in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials: "All this money is what Ning Anhou and Shen Zhizhou are willing to give, not what you forced?" ”

In the eyes of the crown prince, his father was already a puppet, even when he persecuted the prince's brothers, he didn't say a word of gossip in a daze, but this time he seemed to be sober, which was really surprising. After he was stunned slightly, he replied respectfully: "Yes, all this money is what Ning Anhou is willing to give, and they are willing to serve the country." ”

"Humph!" Emperor Wen scoffed, and no longer investigated the authenticity of it, but only scolded loudly: "You dare to take the money of Ning Anhou and Shen Zhizhou, aren't you trapped in injustice?" Do you know that I built this country all thanks to Ning Anhou's father, General Li and Shen Zhizhou? ”

The Manchu Dynasty was shocked, not because of the content of Emperor Wen's words, but because Emperor Wen actually said these words soberly - their emperor has not been so sober for a long time, and he has not said these words of gratitude to the veteran and loyal ministers for a long time.

"Your Majesty," a few old ministers who had been holding back the prince for a long time were grateful when they saw this, and knelt on the ground and shouted, "The emperor is back!" Long live the Emperor! Banzai! ”

The prince was frightened and angry, and when he returned to Jinyang Palace, he was furious. Empress Minjia heard the news and came to see him, so he endured his irritable mood and asked strangely: "Queen Mother, has my father eaten the elixir on time these days?" ”

"Eat."

"After eating today, why is he not confused in the court?" He blurted out.

Empress Minjia was stunned when she heard this: "Zhuo'er...... What do you mean by that? ”

"Don't think too much about the queen mother." The prince hurriedly laughed, offered the tea brought by Gong'e to Empress Minjia, and continued: "Isn't it? Since my father used the elixir, although he ate and slept well, and people were happy, his brain was really a little confused. ”

Empress Minjia took a sip of tea, but laughed, "It's better to be confused." Your father is not confused, how can he accompany me day and night? Where do you have the opportunity to manage the affairs of the government? ”

Hearing this, the prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he was suspicious again, "Then how can my father not be confused in the court today?" Isn't that the elixir useless to him? ”

"Your father, the emperor has been sometimes confused and sometimes sober in the past two days." Empress Minjia frowned as she spoke, and put down the tea in her hand, "Zhuo'er, don't blame the queen mother for saying you, you went to Ning'an City this time, why did you even calculate Ning'an Hou?" His mother and I are cousins. ”

"Isn't it 30,000 taels? He can afford to come out of the Hou Mansion of Ning'an. The prince didn't care.

Empress Minjia sighed, but did not say any more accusatory.

After she left, Gu Chongzhi, who had already come to the outside of Jinyang Palace, entered. He also came because he heard about the court. By the prince's side, he can be described as a big celebrity. Whatever is on the prince's mind, he will tell him.

"My father is going to become sober, and he will remember all the things we have done, not to mention that my position as the crown prince is not guaranteed, but I am afraid that I will have to finish my life." When Gu Chongyi came, the prince pondered it in front of him. He also asked Gu Chongzhi: "Could it be that there is less worry-free release in the elixir?" ”

It was Gu Chongzhi who proposed to the prince to add this chronic poison to Emperor Wen's elixir at the beginning.

After listening to the prince's question, Gu Chongzhi immediately replied: "Your Highness, I have asked the Xuanling Dao Chief. The amount of elixir that the emperor eats every day is increasing unabated. ”

"That's weird."

The prince locked his eyebrows, and Gu Chongzhi also fell into deep thought. After a long time, the two looked at each other suddenly. The prince said, "Don't do anything!" Gu Chongzhi, if you sit on the dragon chair in this hall, you will definitely be appointed prime minister. ”

Seeing that the crown prince was staring at him and making such a promise, Gu Chongyi was a little frightened, "Your Highness's meaning ......"

"Huh?" The prince spoke, his eyes lit up, and he was so frightened that Gu Chongzhi shuddered. "Didn't Wesley often say that you Gu Chongzhi is a roundworm in the stomach of the main hall?"

"Yes...... Xiaguan ......" Gu Chongzhi swallowed, thought about it, suddenly knelt on the ground, and expressed his determination: "Your Highness, Chongzhi in this life, worry about His Highness's worries, do his best, and die, even if he is full of liver and brain, he must be loyal to His Highness." ”

The prince laughed, and while helping him up, he leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Let it go, remember, the sooner the better." ”

Gu Chongzhi nodded knowingly.

Leaving Jinyang Palace, Gu Chongzhi went to the Xuanling Temple set up in the palace for the alchemist Xuanling Daoist. What he didn't know was that from the moment he entered the palace, several palace people used relay methods to target him.

Among these palace people, there are eunuchs, palace laves, young and old, they are all people who have received the favor or care of the second prince during his lifetime. In fact, they not only targeted Gu Chongzhi, the crown prince and Wesley, but also the objects of their targeting. They told Huo Qing, who was hiding in the capital, what they heard and saw. And Huo Qing will always send important news to the Hou Mansion of Ning'an.

On this day, Ning'an Hou Li Chengqi received another letter from Huo Qing. After reading the contents of the letter, he frowned solemnly and crumpled the note in his hand.
