Chapter 235: Steward Lin's Inference

Mingyue has been with Xuan Pei for so long, and she was originally from Jinyiwei, so she can naturally vaguely guess some things in her heart. It is true that Xuan Li's hand came suddenly, and he took control of the matter, and perhaps seemed to have the upper hand. But Mingyue knew that it was not.

The handsome young man in front of him may have had insight into Xuanli's intentions a long time ago, although this seems a little incredible and he doesn't know what Lu Dao is, but Mingyue knows Lu Dao, and Xuan Pei has been dealing with Xuan Li for a long time, from when everyone was not optimistic and thought that he was just a dispensable waste prince. But this waste prince, he made a good move, when Xuanli poisoned the emperor, Xuanpei had already known about the Dao, but he didn't say anything or do anything, as if he didn't know anything about the Dao, and didn't make any obstructions.

Respond to all changes with the same, kill people with a knife, confuse the other party, and Xuan Pei is foolproof. Everyone who takes the heir has to step on the blood of the previous emperor, and blood relatives and flesh and blood are not important. If Xuan Pei wants to compete with Xuan Li for that position, he must first get the current emperor down.

Xuanli made a move, Xuanpei was right, this also achieved his goal through Xuanli's hand, and more importantly, Xuanli would think that Xuanpei didn't know anything about Lu Dao - a person who knew Lu Dao would definitely not be helpless. But Xuanli was surprised to be wrong, that is, Xuanpei did know the Tao and did everything.

For an adult, it seems like nothing to be able to do all this, as is the case with someone as ambitious and good at hiding as Xuanli. But Xuanpei is now just a young man who has not yet reached the end of his life, and a young man can have such indifferent and decisive means, with the calmness and vision of an emperor, that is by no means a thing in the pool. Ever since the emperor learned about Xuan Pei's son's talents, he has been treating him well. A person who is suddenly cared for by his father will cherish this feeling very much.

But Xuan Pei didn't, he indifferently watched the emperor's death step by step, without showing a trace of emotion. is the most ruthless emperor's family, but this calmness and indifference make Mingyue can't help but be secretly frightened, what this young man shows is really more suitable than Xuanli to be the king of a country.

What Mingyue didn't know was that Xuan Pei was not born so decisive. After the previous life, Xuan Pei's feelings for the emperor's family were extremely clear, and the reason why the emperor valued him was nothing more than to pay attention to what he showed now, without these things, he would still be a waste prince. As for Jiang Ruan's fate in the palace in his previous life, the emperor didn't have half a reason. In Xuan Pei's eyes, the only relative in the world is Jiang Ruan, and the emperor is just a king, not a father. And his lifespan had been decided in the previous life, and he would eventually die in the hands of his own son Xuan Li. And Xuanpei wants to take advantage of this and will not deliberately break it.

He took a deep breath slowly, and then said: "The next step of Xuanli must be the holy decree, if you want to get the holy decree of the crown prince, he will start very quickly and be caught off guard, this is his old method." ”

Mingyue had some doubts in her heart, listening to Xuan Pei's tone, it seemed that she had been fighting with Xuan Li for many years, as if she knew each other very well, but where did Xuan Pei have a direct deal with Xuan Li now. It's just a bull fight in the air, and it's just a trend of fighting in court. Even so, she still said, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Xuan Pei laughed lightly, his already delicate facial features, when he smiled like this, there was some indescribable beauty in the corners of his eyes, which was actually a little similar to Jiang Ruan: "Don't pay attention to it, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, we will naturally do this too." ”

……。

Gonggong Li walked out of the emperor's dormitory and glanced inside with some concern, the emperor's body began to slowly collapse a long time ago. This is something he has known for a long time, but at that time, he only thought that he was old and the years were not forgiving. It is inevitable that every emperor will grow old like this. Can...... The Emperor fell too suddenly.

Under the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, it fell down abruptly, which was enough for the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty to be a directive, and this instruction was related to a lot of storms in the future. After so many years in the palace, it is an inevitable fact that an era of Zhilu Dao will eventually end. With the death of the emperor, he, the chief manager who has been with the emperor for many years, will naturally follow, Gonggong Li is not afraid, what he is afraid of is that before everything is settled.

The emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty, whether they returned to the road of seizing the heir or not, before the death of the first emperor, the crown prince's seat was naturally stable. But the current situation is different, the position of the crown prince is still vacant, which means that once the emperor dies, the previous dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos, which coincides with the conspiracy of the people of southern Xinjiang, which can be described as extremely unfavorable. The emperor would not allow this to happen, but he did it, and when everyone thought that he would soon re-establish the crown prince, he left both princes out in the cold and did not make a decision.

The thirteenth prince Xuan Peixu was young and didn't take it seriously, so he didn't make any moves, but Gonggong Li could see clearly that the eighth prince couldn't sit still, and his people began to increase rapidly. He may also be wondering, why does the emperor not appoint a prince?

For what?

Naturally, because of that person. Gonggong Li sighed, his eyes were a little old in an instant, only he knew the plan in the heart of the Emperor of the Dao Dao, and that person might also know the Dao. However, he rejected the emperor's arrangement with an extremely tough attitude, and he was unwilling to accept the emperor's plan.

That person, Gonggong Li sighed again, in the past many years, the total number of sighs he sighed did not add up to these days, if it was someone else, Gonggong Li could believe that no one could resist the emperor's plan. Whether it is for the sake of the overall situation of the common people, or because of the temptation of that position, but if you change that person, the person who has never done his own thing and doesn't care about anything, I'm afraid he will really leave neatly.

What will happen when two equally tough people are together? Gonggong Li didn't want to think about it anymore, he felt a headache when he thought about it, many people had come from him to inquire about the situation in the past few days, and the spies sent by the Eighth Emperor were also intentionally or unintentionally penetrating his tone. Gonggong Li is a sleek person, he has lived safely in the palace for decades, and anyone who sees him has to give him a little thin face, but now he is really helpless, and he feels that he has fallen into a dead end. He really started to feel old.

At this time, Gonggong Li suddenly involuntarily remembered a person in his heart, that person entered the palace with him, he was a nameless little eunuch at that time, that person was a student of Guozijian, and I don't know how to become friends. Later, when Gonggong Li began to slowly gain a foothold in the palace, that person was already a proud Tanhualang in the spring breeze. Gonggong Li has always been a little jealous of him, but when that person was at his most prosperous, because of one thing, he resolutely resigned and went into hiding, and left in the confusion of his colleagues at that time.

Only Gonggong Li understood why he was leaving, because he was the one who saw it most clearly, maybe he had expected such a struggling situation today when he resigned at that time. He retreated bravely and left the chaotic situation early. If he were, how would he deal with this kind of scene at this moment?

"Father-in-law, father-in-law." Xiao Chenzi looked at him timidly and said. Gonggong Li suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized that he had unconsciously thought far away. How could he suddenly have thought of this? Is it really because of old age?

Gonggong Li sighed, Xiao Chenzi looked at him, and comforted: "Father-in-law is worried about the dragon body under His Majesty, there is a real dragon body under His Majesty, and it will inevitably turn evil into good fortune, and there will be no trouble, father-in-law should not be too worried." ”

Xiao Chenzi was raised by Gonggong Li, and it is a well-known thing that eunuchs have no heirs, but not all eunuchs are willing to accept this fate. Father-in-law Li has always treated Xiao Chenzi very well, and once said a few words when Xiao Chenzi made a mistake and saved his life, and Xiao Chenzi recognized Father-in-law Li as his father-in-law. Now that I see that Gonggong Li is a little different from usual, he naturally wants to express his concern.

"Hey," Gonggong Li sighed and looked at the young man in front of him, how long could he stay in this position? However, the young man in front of him has been reckless, if he hadn't protected himself, I don't know how many times Lu Dao had died in this deep palace. After he leaves, who can help this kid turn evil into good fortune? Gonggong Li felt a little melancholy, he looked at Xiao Chenzi and said: "It's better for you to come out these days, if you can do it, I'll say hello over there, you go out of the palace for the time being, just say that you want to go back to your hometown to mourn or something, don't stay in the palace after all." ”

"For what?" Xiao Chenzi said curiously: "Father-in-law, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and it has nothing to do with our minions, why is it going to the point of leaving the palace?" ”

"Don't ask so much." Gonggong Li glared at him, the way of survival in the palace, the more you know the way, the sooner you die, this is a thing that has long been known about the way, and this child doesn't understand anything, and he bumps into the front every time.

"Father-in-law, what kind of situation did you say in this palace, is the Eighth Highness and the Thirteenth Highness going to fight? When I was doing things outside, His Royal Highness praised me, as if he wanted to take me to the palace over there. You said I might get a chance, too. Xiao Chenzi unabashedly felt his happiness, as if if if Xuanli threw an olive branch at him, he would immediately rush over. This is not uncommon, but none of the little eunuchs in the palace hope that they will continue to be so obscure, and always hope that they can be a blockbuster, at least the position of the chief administrator is still tempting enough. Xiao Chenzi said his plan so loudly, not only was it not a reflection of his ambition, but it was ...... It's kind of silly.

Gonggong Li was shocked when he heard this, he knew the emperor's plan better than anyone else, but if Xiao Lizi really took refuge with the Eighth Prince, let alone take refuge, it was a little bit of a show of goodwill, and he would be affected in the end. Father-in-law Li's mouth has always been very strict, everyone wants to get news out of his mouth, but they always fail, but now in the face of his godson, Father-in-law Li's unbearable heart finally overcame his years of experience, he pulled Xiao Chenzi to the side, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, you don't have to participate in these things, and don't agree casually to the Eighth Prince." ”

"For what?" Xiao Chenzi asked curiously.

This kid has to ask what he wants, Gonggong Li is a little anxious, but he can't say what he is talking about, and he always feels that Xiao Chenzi will not end his plan here. In desperation, Gonggong Li had to say vaguely: "No one can figure out His Majesty's plans, and His Royal Highness is not a candidate." Don't burn yourself. ”

Just one sentence, a smart person can immediately understand the meaning of Gonggong Li, because Gonggong Li's meaning is already very clear, the emperor's meaning is not on the eighth prince at all, and choosing the eighth prince is actually choosing the losing side. Li Gonggong said: "Remember what I said to you today, don't say this to outsiders." ”

Xiao Chen Zi nodded palpitatingly, no matter how stupid he was, he could still hear the voice of Gonggong Li's words. This is the first time that Gonggong Li has been by the emperor's side for decades to do something that does not conform to the identity of the chief manager, he revealed the emperor's information to outsiders, no matter how tactful and indifferent he is, he treats his own son, in the end, he still regards him as his own son, and does not want him to go to a dead end.

After Gonggong Li said this, a little eunuch outside came to report that the Empress Dowager Yide of Cining Palace had summoned him, and Gonggong Li went in person, but he didn't see behind him, Xiao Chenzi's lowered head slowly raised up, and the face that had always looked honest and stupid no longer had the stupid appearance on weekdays at the moment, but instead of it, it was unfathomable, and then, his eyes moved quickly, and then lowered his head again, as if nothing had happened, and walked out of the hall as if nothing had happened.

……。

The emperor's serious illness in the palace caused an uproar in the previous dynasty, but this matter is not over in the end, and the following things are one after another, Gonggong Li disappeared, as the chief manager of the emperor's side, Gonggong Li has been responsible for the diet and daily life around the emperor, and he is the person who knows the emperor best. The disappearance of Gonggong Li even shocked the Empress Dowager Yide, and the guards on duty at night said that no one had been seen at night, and Gonggong Li must still be in the palace.

After almost the entire palace was opened, someone finally found Gonggong Li's body in the dry well behind Jingyang Palace. There were no other traces on the body, and even a suicide note was found from Gonggong Li's body, and Gonggong Li committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. How did a big eunuch commit suicide by throwing himself into a well, and Gonggong Li's suicide note was only trivial to express that he couldn't live with the emperor and couldn't accompany the emperor all the way. But people with a heart guessed that Gonggong Li saw that the emperor was dying, and he was too worried in his heart, and finally he was so frightened that he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well.

Although this is a bit unbelievable, it is not impossible. As the chief manager, it is naturally closely related to the fate of the emperor, and he has already checked it, Gonggong Li committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, and it will not happen sooner or later, but it happened when the emperor was seriously ill, what is the matter? The most important thing is that, apart from this incident, no one can find the reason why the chief manager can kill himself.

After all, Gonggong Li is the chief manager of the palace, and he has worked hard in front of the emperor for so many years, but Gonggong Li has no other relatives around him. However, a little eunuch at the bottom volunteered, saying that he was the righteous son of Gonggong Li and was willing to handle the funeral for Gonggong Li. Such a affectionate little eunuch is quite appreciated by the top, so Gonggong Li's wealth and silver taels naturally became Xiao Chenzi, and Xiao Chenzi was also valued because of this matter, but he was quite a bit of the former appearance of the chief manager.

When Gonggong Li's matter reached Jiang Ruan's ears, Jiang Ruan was talking to Steward Lin about the account book, and because it was Jinyiwei who came to report it, he did not avoid Steward Lin. Gonggong Li's death is not abrupt, Jiang Ruan thought about it, and suddenly found that Steward Lin was also in a trance, which was still very energetic with Jiang Ruan a quarter of an hour ago Steward Lin was a little distracted, but it was a little strange. Jiang Ruan looked at him carefully, and found a trace of sadness in Steward Lin's eyes.

Sad? Jiang Ruan's eyes moved, and he reminded loudly: "Steward Lin? ”

Steward Lin suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had just found that he had lost his mind, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and then said in a panic: "This is ...... Young lady, the old slave is derelict in his duties. ”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I don't blame you, when I heard the shocking things in the palace, it was normal for me to be a little unable to come back to my senses for a while, and I was also shocked." Steward Lin lost his mind and seemed to be thinking about this matter, I don't know what you think about this matter? ”

Steward Lin laughed a few times, and was about to say that he was only a shallow learner and could distinguish the doorway, but he couldn't tell Jiang Ruan's gaze. Jiang Ruan's gaze was as sharp as ever, gentle and sharp, almost as if it was about to penetrate people. She seems to have already seen that something is wrong with her, and she has grasped it sensitively, but now she just asked, and no one is better than the princess of her own palace in terms of speculation about people's hearts.

Steward Lin straightened his face, put away Fang Cai's embarrassed expression, and said as if he had changed a person in an instant: "Gonggong Li has been in power for many years, and he has seen all the winds and waves, and he will never commit suicide because of a momentary incident." Leaving a suicide note, but it is all inconsequential, and it is really flawed. The old slave dared to guess that Gonggong Li did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone, pretending to commit suicide. When he said this, although there was restraint in his tone, he still involuntarily flowed a trace of anger.

Jiang Ruan bowed his head and said softly: "Yes, Steward Lin thinks that he was killed by whom?" ”

"Gonggong Li has achieved the position of the general manager, his mind is smooth and transparent, ordinary people naturally can't deceive him, only close people can start, since this close person can make Gonggong Li defenseless, he must be a person who gets along day and night, and has won all his trust. Gonggong Li died at the hands of his own people, there is no doubt about it! ”
