Chapter 325 - The Prime Minister's Death
"The three of them can work together to make Guangwu chaotic, so let's let them no longer be three, become two, or one!?"
Gu Tiefang and Gu Xuhao were not happy, and shook their heads at the same time.
"What Yang Gongzi did in Chiyuan City completely offended the Xian family, and one of the wives and concubines of Xian Maodian, the son of the Xian family, is the third daughter of the Song family;
Gu Tiefang looked at his Erlang, and Gu Xuhao picked up the conversation: "If I can win Ma Ruyi, I don't have to rush to become a doctor of the imperial history, but according to my understanding of Ma Ruyi, I'm afraid it's difficult." Although he said that he was neutral, was the neutral faction not a faction? Moreover, I specially checked his resume as an official for 20 years, and found one thing, that is, he never changed his mind in every thing he did, from the beginning of the plan to the solution! I do not believe that he will change his mind in this matter. Speaking of which, I remembered to remind my father and eldest brother that since Ma Ruyi is betting on the Xian family and the Che family, this matter must not be simple!"
There was silence in the room again, and finally Gu Xuyu slowly spoke: "Maybe it's feasible?"
"But now that he is by the emperor's side, even if he looks for him, he can't find it. By the time he returns, we'll be ready. β
"We wrote to the past. β
Gu Tiefang was still pondering, and the butler's shout sounded outside the door: "Master, the housekeeper of Mafu asks to see you." β
The father and son of the Gu family glanced at each other, with a thousand expressions in their eyes.
Gu Xuhao grinned, and said in a relaxed tone: "Maybe Ma Ruyi is really going to change his mind this time?" As long as we are careful, in the end, our Gu family must be able to stand proudly!"
Gu Tiefang nodded and shouted out, "Call him in." β
"Yes. β
......
For Yang Fengqing, this day and night is a good time when you don't have to think about anything at all, and you don't even need to move.
But the reason why a good time is a good time is because it must be short. If good times are not short-lived, then no matter how beautiful they are, they will never be good again.
No, according to Yang Fengqing's order, the warship docked in a river valley that was about to enter Lingnan.
Yang Fengqing held the reins in one hand and Qiu Zitong in the other, and climbed up the sloping river valley.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but the towering forest.
"Master, where is our next stop?"
Yang Fengqing took out a map from his arms, looked at it carefully, and scratched his hand on it a few times: "A small town, come, get on the horse." β
picked up Qiu Zitong and put it on the horse's back, Yang Fengqing also turned on the horse's back: "Drive-"
......
Yang Fengqing was on the way to find a way, and a sensational incident happened in the capital - Prime Minister Gu was found dead at home this morning.
The alleys of restaurants are full of discussions.
In a small restaurant, the things they talk about are similar to those of other restaurants.
Around a large table on the street sat more than a dozen men, ranging in age from their teens to their forties. The clothes they wore were better than those of ordinary people.
Another man came, hurriedly sat down to the north, picked up the wine glass and wine jug, poured a full glass, and drank it with his head up: "Have you heard? Prime Minister Gu Cheng was found dead in the bedroom this morning." β
"Oh, Ge Laozi! I saw that you were so excited, and I thought you had found out more secret news! Are you so slow to hear about it? I heard it as soon as I woke up this morning. β
Although Prime Minister Gu Cheng's reign was very short, Gu Cheng was completely different from Cai Houzhu's reign. β
"What else could it be, a lot of things happened yesterday in the port of Dasheng, and then- you know what I mean?"
"Ah, what's going on at Dasheng Port? β
"Ahemβwellβ"
One of the men in his thirties had never spoken, and when he heard this, he shouted to Xiao Er, who was running back and forth: "Xiao Er, add five catties of wine and ten catties of beef here, faster." β
"Ahem-since Lao Liu is so polite, then I will say a few more words, but you must not spread it, otherwise my brother and my head will not be protected." β
"Hahaha-you don't know our brother's tone yet, say it quickly. β
The man hooked his hand at more than a dozen people, and after more than ten people got closer to the table, the man spoke again: "Don't I have a cousin who is an official in the Chejia army?" The day before yesterday, one of his concubines gave birth to a big fat boy, so I went to see it. I rested at his house the night before, and yesterday I didn't wake up, and he came to me with a pale face and asked me to drink with him. β
"As soon as I saw his face, I immediately woke up. I didn't dare to ask him what happened, so I drank with him all the time. I swear to God, I really didn't take his words, he said them himself. β
More than ten people at the wine table were silent and looked at the man nervously.
He said that he was called to Dasheng Port early in the morning to arrest people, and it was not clear what it said, it should be that the food in the palace was robbed by thieves. But the order is a bit strange, to directly sink the ship carrying grain and kill everyone. β
"But guess what, the grain ship hasn't come yet, Prime Minister Gu Cheng arrived first, and then they withdrew half of the soldiers. After a while, a ship that did not look like a grain ship arrived, and he received an order from the general to sink the ship. β
"But the ship, with God's help, was turning at a very fast speed, and they had 20,000 men, and they couldn't restrain the ship. β
"And after that?"
"After that, according to my cousin's words, the sky has fallen! A man on that ship was out of range of his bow and arrow, and killed Che Sanye, the deputy commander of the Che Family Army, with one arrow!"
"What?!Why haven't we heard of it?!"
"Because this matter is not over yet! Uncle Che was furious, and all the roars came out, and all the Che family troops actually came out! Prime Minister Che Gu was also furious because of this, and quarreled with Uncle Che in front of everyone, and took out the emperor's token. But Uncle Che was bent on wanting the owner of the ship to sink to the bottom of the river with the ship, ignoring Prime Minister Gu and the token. β
"Did the ship and the man sink to the bottom of the river in the end?"
"No, because the Ximu Army appeared again later, and the Ximu Army directly expelled the Chejia Army!"
"The Westwood Army is involved? this-this-"
"That's why my cousin is so scared!"
The man who called for wine and meat got up one after another and threw his hand to the people around the table: "It seems that the matter is really big, everyone should hurry up and go home!"
With that, the man quickly left.
Three or four people followed the man after a while, and the man who broke the news and a few others were still talking in a whisper.
The departing man walked out onto the avenue and hurried in the direction of his house.
Halfway through, I glanced left and right, front and back, and then turned around and walked into the alley on the right.
After passing through the alleys that weren't known to locals, the man stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated doorway.
Hold the knocker on the door, one light and one heavy, and cycle three times.
Crunch β
The door opened, and there was no sound coming from inside, as if the door had opened on its own.
The man arched his hand inside and jumped inside.
A quarter of an hour later, the man walked out of the house and in the other direction.
After walking for several miles, the man stretched out his right hand, and three ingots of silver were stacked in the palm of his hand.
turned it upside down, and said to himself a little proudly: "You only need five catties of wine and ten catties of beef, and you can get three taels of silver, which is really comfortable." β
After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked up at the gray sky, and his face was a little tangled: "Alas-let's not have so many things happen, if it goes on like this, how should the people in the world survive!"
"Forget it, don't think so much, I'm just a grass people, thinking about how to survive in troubled times is the right thing. β
"Troubled times, troubled timesβI always thought it was so far away from me, but it was so close. β
