Chapter Forty-Eight

During the time that Green Hui left, Gongsun Li Zai was also peeling back the truths that had been shelved layer by layer!

In the post house, Guiyuan was sent into the study of the hospital.

"I didn't expect Cai Ye, the old fox, to be so cunning, the last time we went to Guozijian to pick a secret place to look for it, but we couldn't find the record booklet. It turned out that he put it together with the general Wen Jiàn! Feng Shang still couldn't believe that Cai Ye would put a record book that was tantamount to a state secret like this.

"Hmph, if there wasn't that so-called 'mechanism', he would have dug the ground and hid it three feet ago!" Gongsun Li said disdainfully.

However, he was also glad that Cai Ye could trust his 'organ' so much, otherwise they would not have had a chance to steal the booklet.

The last search was fruitless, and they almost gave up, but thankfully they didn't give up on looking for it again.

It's just that when he saw the record book, his heart couldn't help but be half cold. The booklet does record in great detail the table xiàn of each school in the major important events over the years, including the time node, the attitude of each school of thought and the attitude of each school of thought and what to do (can be expressed in numbers as much as possible), whether the table xiàn is remarkable, the people's reactions, etc., all are complete, and each entry in the whole booklet adopts the mode of "narration + commentary", the first part of the basic historical facts are described in detail, the latter part is commented, and there is a summary every five years. This is the basis for judging the winning school.

However, almost all their descriptions of the Guiyuan faction are hastily and perfunctory, especially in the records of the last five years, as if they feel that writing a few more sentences is a waste of pen and ink, and in some places there are even traces of changes. Obviously, every time they are where they need them, the Guiyuan faction is duty-bound and charged, but in the end, they still can't escape the fate of becoming "cannon fodder". Who it refers to, everyone knows!!

It is undeniable that over the years, the Guiyuan faction has indeed been distracted from various academic disciplines, and the guide zhì cannot specialize in the arts, and in the eyes of others, even if he has the five skills of the sycamore, he can not fly to the house, he can not be poor, he can swim but not cross the valley, he can not hide in the cave, and he can not walk but not the ancestors, compared to other schools, he will always be slightly inferior.

How can Gongsun Li not understand the truth of this, but his vision is always longer than others, he looks at the future, the world will be one sooner or later, no academic can always be coquettish, no school can always stand, because this society needs different academic support to develop smoothly, without any of them. A large part of the reason why the Chongye Dynasty has not developed greatly is because the various schools of thought are mutually exclusive, and for thousands of years, in addition to learning their own academics, they can come into contact with the things of the ancient school, because it has always been the ancient school that wins, and they basically know little about other academics. Since this is the case, why didn't he make preparations early and complete his great cause of reunification in his lifetime.

However, how can hegemony be achieved overnight, the Guiyuan faction has experienced enough obstacles over the years, and even the broken booklet in his hand now has to oppose him, and a sense of powerlessness arises spontaneously. But he won't just give up so lightly, the more he is despised, the more fierce his fighting spirit will be!

Gongsun Li quietly looked at the person named at the back of each entry, and after pondering for a moment, he frowned slightly and asked, "How is the person who asked you to check last time?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, I checked the details of that person, and it should be the same as we thought. That person was originally an upright guy, and because of his outstanding ability, he was elected to the Guozijian, thinking that he could show his strength, but he was unexpectedly targeted by Cai Ye. ”

Feng Shang looked at Gongsun Li Zai's face and continued: "Although there is no evidence to prove whether Cai Ye instructed him to manipulate the record book, his wife and children did disappear mysteriously during the period before the briefing meeting!" His previous secret meeting with Cai Ye must have been to negotiate conditions! ”

"And have his wives and children been found now?" Gongsun Li frowned even tighter.

In fact, Yiqiē has long been clear in his heart, and only one solid evidence is missing. The first priority was to find the man's missing wife and children.

"Not yet!" Feng Shang replied calmly.

"I can't find it now, and I won't find it again. How can Cai Ye do things and leave troubles! It seems that such a result has been expected for a long time, and Gongsun Li Zai still can't hide his disappointment.

The man had died of poisoning, and his missing wife and children had become the only witnesses on whom to hope. If they also disappear, it will be difficult to prove Cai Ye's crimes.

Presumably, Cai Ye played a despicable trick, threatening him with the man's wife and children, and colluding with him to do things in the record book, the man had no choice but to obey, but in the end, he couldn't stand the accusation of his conscience, so he absconded. In order to avoid harm to his wife and children, he finally had to swallow the truth and poison into his stomach.

Of course, this qiē is just conjecture, and the truth may follow that person forever to sleep in the ground.

If it was really as he thought, Gongsun Li would no longer want to evaluate this person too much, and he had already paid the price for his mistakes, but he did not agree with the choice of seeking relief by apologizing for his sins by death, at least he would not adopt such a person. As for Cai Ye, with him for a day, there will be no fairness and justice at all.

Gongsun Li is a person who does not give up easily, but at this moment, he really feels the strength of his opponent. The power lies in the fact that his evil deeds are clearly exposed, and you have to endure him wearing a mask to swagger through the market.

Feng Shang looked at Gongsun Li Zai, who was a little frustrated in front of him, is this really still the young master of his family who seems to be indestructible and invincible? In his eyes, the so-called pride of heaven is Gongsun Li Zai.

Of course, this is not to say that he has any great achievements or amazing deeds that he willingly impresses. On the battlefield, he did not make outstanding contributions to the peace of war and the destruction of thieves, and in academics, he did not speak of the Confucianism and overwhelm the heroes. But people can't ignore his existence.

The real king's style is the kind of wisdom, courage, and courage that permeates from the bones, so that you can't help but want to follow his left and right, saddle him before and after, and smear his liver and brain.

Maybe it's a bit exaggerated to outsiders, but for Feng Shang, who has been by Gongsun Li Zai's side since he was a child, it's not an exaggeration.

Take the incident of stealing the record book from the Guozijian this time, if he and Jing Yi acted alone that day, I am afraid that Cai Ye would be arrested.

Cai Ye set up a mechanism on a small piece of ground around the bookcase where the record book was placed, but in order to make it easier for their own people to go in and get all kinds of papers, they did not set up a lead wire connecting to the copper bell under all the bluestone floor tiles, but every three or five times, one by one, there was no ground mixed together, and those who did not know would inevitably touch the mechanism, but their own people would not.

It was Gongsun Li who first discovered the bronze bell that looked like a pendant hanging from the hanging beam, and after some deliberation, asked them to knock on the bricks on the ground with their hands and listen to the sound.

The bluestone slab brick with the lead is under the hands and feet of someone, and the sound is really different from other slabs and bricks when you listen carefully, and the echo is relatively clear and not turbid. However, this must be discerned by careful and distracting listening. In this way, they walked along the floor without the mechanism, and finally found the booklet in the secret compartment of the bookcase.

The booklet is in hand, and you can retire with success!! However, Gongsun Li glanced at Feng Shang again, and let Feng Shang drop a heavy object on the ground to touch the mechanism, and then left the place with a deep face!

That's why the whole country was boiling that day.

does not show the dew, and he will never be merciful when he can be ruthless, this is the son he has been familiar with since he was a child. But this time he encountered an enemy who was not only ruthless but also insidious, and one came and went, Cai Ye and the emperor behind him were undoubtedly powerful characters. It is understandable that Childe has such an expression of more than enough heart and insufficient strength.

But in the next second, he realized that the qiē just now was indeed just an illusion.

"Remember the so-called 'rockets' in the snowy forest, and the fake logs mentioned in their conversations. Cai Ye has more and more handles. Whoever has done it will leave a trace. A villain like Cai Ye who does all kinds of evil believes that it is easy to find evidence of his crimes! Gongsun Li regained his posture of being in control.

"Of course the subordinates remember, the weapons used by the entire Chongye Dynasty are still crossbow arrows, how can Cai Wu'er have such a powerful 'rocket' in his hands, can it be said that they are secretly producing?" Feng Shang was obviously also very confused.

"Luban bow Zhuge crossbow, bow and arrow is a necessary weapon for siege, I don't know how many capable people and strangers have improved and rebuilt it, Cai Ye directly combined gunpowder to create a 'rocket', the wolf's ambition is obvious! It's just that I don't know if the emperor is involved in this matter! "If it's really just Cai Ye who wants to seek power and usurp the throne, then the matter will not be so bad, and if the emperor also intervenes, what is his intention? Do you want to go outside or be inside?

The current Chongye Dynasty is almost alone in this Mia continent, and the small countries around it are all small minions to it, and they pose no threat to it at all. At this time, if you want to conquer these small countries, it is only a matter of paper of war to dominate the world, and they will immediately submit to the iron hooves of the dynasty. And now, these small countries are friendly with the dynasty, paying tribute every year, and becoming vassals every year, and there is no need for this to go to war again. If there is no external trouble, it is obviously an internal worry.

Now the Manshu, in the matter, the Ronghua, and the Guiyuan factions are located in the southwest, southeast, and central of the Chongye Dynasty, and they are able to control the local administration and military power, and for the royal family, they are like a lion in the brew looking at the direction of Beiyi, causing a threat that cannot be ignored. And this point will make the emperor very unhappy, because it is said to be a dictatorship, but in fact, it is necessary to let these schools of thought similar to the princes of all parties not dominate the world in the substantive sense at all.

It is precisely because of this that the ancient emperor came up with the "Tui En Order" to weaken these local forces, and now, presumably, Helian Sik also wants to use some kind of power to contain these various schools of thought that have too much power, because if they all break away from the central government, it will be when war breaks out.

And at this time, the strengthening of the armed forces clearly played a pivotal role. This is how the "rocket" must have come into being.

Feng Shang naturally understood Gongsun Lizai's worries at this time, and said directly: "Whether it is or not, first find out Cai Ye, a traitor, and then say, the dynasty has explicitly stated that it is not allowed to produce military weapons privately, if Cai Ye deliberately does it, it is really a capital crime!" ”

"I can only see walking at the moment!" Gongsun Li sighed lightly again.

Suddenly, he remembered something again, and added: "Regarding that fake general record, it is best to investigate it thoroughly!" ”

"Yes!" Feng Shang bowed his head and replied.

I wanted to quit, but Feng Shang remembered that there was another matter, and after looking at Gongsun Li, he asked a little hesitantly: "Childe, about Cai Wu'er, do we ...... Should she be exposed? ”

Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment when he heard the words again, he should have referred to Cai Wu'er finding someone to replace him and marry the emperor. If Feng Shang hadn't mentioned it, maybe the name would never have automatically appeared in his mind, because he had already used an automatic filtering mechanism to filter out the name.

He immediately replied coldly: "Who she is, you should know very well, expose her, maybe we won't be able to get any benefits." It's best not to have anything to do with it! ”

Feng Shang had no choice but to say nothing. Seeing Gongsun Li Zai's reaction, he only sighed except for sighing. What's more, someone else is now an imperial concubine, even if she is dissatisfied with her in the past? Yesterday is like yesterday's death, the parties may have been relieved, what does he care about as an outsider!

It's just that the most unforgettable but the young time is a young injury, and the silence is slightly cool! I hope his son-in-law is truly relieved!
