Chapter 274: The Situation Has Changed
After hearing this, the emperor put down the teacup and looked at Guo Mao, his expression was calm and his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Guo Mao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Mao hurriedly lowered his head slightly and said: "Difficult cases should be investigated slowly and carefully, and they cannot be found by sending additional people all at once. ”
The emperor sneered in his heart, and then said: "If you don't send more people, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to investigate." He also said: "Guo Aiqing, don't you want the case to be found out sooner?" ”
Guo Mao hurriedly said: "No, no. ”
When he said this, Guo Mao instinctively stopped again. He didn't want to say too much about it, because every word he said was like a reveal. He didn't want to reveal, and in this matter, he just wanted to hide.
The emperor stared at Guo Mao tightly with his sharp gaze for a while before he said slowly: "Guo Aiqing, although it seems that there has not been much progress in the search for the case, in fact, through the tireless investigation of the investigation team during this time, the information we have gradually increased, for example, we found a suspicious person, Kong Wuli, and found that he was your subordinate. Of course, you did something to cover up the fact that he was your subordinate, but I want to tell you - facts are facts, and it can't be concealed. ”
Well, apparently the investigation team also investigated him.
Guo Mao panicked and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
But as a battle-hardened person, Guo Mao quickly calmed himself down again, he knelt down to the emperor unhurriedly and said: "That's right, he was indeed a subordinate of the minister, but when he was a subordinate of the minister, he was a person with no outstanding talent, so the minister didn't pay much attention to him, and later when the minister had more opportunities to contact him, the minister found that this person was incompatible with the minister's concept and acted arbitrarily, so he dismissed him." Because he didn't like him, the minister simply wiped out the affairs of his former minister, but remembering that he had followed the minister for many years, he couldn't bear to let him live on the streets, so he introduced him to the Shenji camp, and this is how things happened. ”
This explanation is not brilliant at all, but it is not unreasonable.
The emperor smiled faintly and said, "Really? So why did he suddenly take a leave of absence and leave? Why don't you return to Shenji Camp when the holiday is over? Can you say you don't know about these things? ”
Guo Mao hurriedly said: "The minister really doesn't know, since he went to the Shenji Camp, the minister no longer asks about him. ”
The emperor rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "Guo Aiqing, I would like to advise you with one sentence - some things are better to be decisive, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”
Guo Mao nodded again and again: "Yes." ”
"Go ahead."
Guo Mao hurriedly retreated.
Walking out of the Yinghua Palace, Guo Mao carefully recalled what the emperor had just said to him, and his heart became uneasy.
With the increase in clues to the case, the emperor's attitude towards him seems to be changing subtly. If the case is solved, it will inevitably involve the people behind him, and there will be more than a few people who will die at that time.
Also, the emperor advised him to make a decision, what exactly does this mean?
Did you persuade him to change his ways? Or does the emperor already vaguely know that there is someone behind him?
After thinking about it, he felt that the emperor should not have evidence to prove that there was someone behind him, so the emperor should persuade him to change his ways.
Can you turn back at this time? Even if Guo Mao wanted to, the people behind him would never allow it. He was now forced to go in one direction, and he could only go in that direction, even if he didn't know if this path was a bright one.
Once, he believed that he should be able to find the light if he went down this road, but now he was a little skeptical, because he gradually realized that the original intention of the person behind him to choose this road was just for a woman, and that's it, after all, there are many great heroes who have done a big thing because of a woman. But now he gradually realized that all the purpose of the person behind him to do this thing was only to get this woman, and if the person behind him got that woman, then all his efforts could be abruptly stopped, and then what could he gain as a wholehearted assistant to this person to move forward?
If this person can finally ascend to the throne, Guo Mao may still get some benefits, but what if this person has no intention of taking the throne after getting that woman? How will he get out of it then?
I'm afraid that not only will I not be able to get out of it, but I will die a miserable death, right?
When Guo Mao realized this, he decided not to allow the person behind him to get the woman before he took the throne no matter what.
Only then will he be able to reap the benefits he ultimately wants in this exploited relationship.
So, before the people behind him have taken the throne, how can he let Kong Wuli involve a series of conspiracies between him and those behind him?
Absolutely not.
Now, since the emperor is faintly suspicious of him, he has to hurry up and urge the person behind him to make the next move.
Guo Mao walked out of the palace quickly and went straight home.
When he returned home, he immediately wrote a secret letter to Ling Wang Zhao Teng.
“…… Your Majesty already knows about Kong Wuli, we can't wait passively any longer, please hurry up and implement the next plan. Zhao Teng wrote quickly on the letterhead.
After writing it, Zhao Teng looked back again, and then added a few more words at the end of the letter, then put it in an envelope and handed it over to the designated person to deliver.
Zhao Teng had roughly revealed to him the content of the next plan, and he wanted to know if Zhao Teng still planned to go according to the original plan.
But no matter whether Zhao Teng goes according to the original plan or not, Guo Mao knows that he and his current situation is very dangerous.
And Guo Mao's situation is more dangerous than his.
Success or defeat may be seen in this next plan.
Guo Mao was suddenly scared for no reason, and he had to hold on to a chair to barely stand firmly.
He suddenly realized that he was no longer young, and a trace of sadness flashed in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
…………………
When the crown prince Zhao Yuliang returned to the East Palace, it was already dark.
The crown princess sat on an upholstered chair and waited for him.
The light shone on the crown princess's face, making her more and more gentle and virtuous.
Since she became pregnant, she looks more beautiful than ever.
The prince stood not far from her and looked at her silently, and was speechless for a long time.
She waited for him here, but he went to meet another woman.
The prince's heart was a little confused, and he wanted to go back to the bedroom directly, but he still couldn't bear it, so he walked towards the princess lightly.
Hearing the voice, the crown princess immediately raised her head.
"You're back?" The crown princess said, with a gentle smile on her face.
The prince sat down beside her, took her hand and said, "Well, why don't you go back to your room to rest?" ”
"I want to wait for you." The crown princess said, her eyes fixed on his face.
Her gaze froze as she looked into his lips, and then, her expression changed slightly.
