Chapter 303: A Deeper Purpose
"I think it's okay, there's only one way to try our luck now, it's better than if we were in a hurry at this time!" Steward De nodded in agreement.
Just when Xiaolan turned around and was about to go out of the house to find Jasmine, Mrs. Zhou grabbed her after being stunned for a moment.
"Can't go!" She finally woke up from the previous panic, and said in a low voice: "This will be kung fu, let's not do anything, otherwise, it will only cause chaos for Miss!" ”
After that, Mrs. Zhou carefully looked out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, she found that there were really people hiding not far away and watching them silently.
Seeing this, Steward De and Xiaolan also hurriedly glanced outside, only to find that they had been secretly stared at.
"Ouch, something bad, that person deliberately pretended to be drunk and told me the news, and wanted us to follow us when we secretly went to find someone!" Steward De said fearfully: "Although Miss Jasmine may not have contacted Miss Lee, Miss Jasmine has the closest relationship with Miss Miss, and it is hard to guarantee that they will do something to Miss Jasmine when the time comes!" ”
Xiaolan hurriedly said: "How is that good, people can't go to find it, we can't do anything, can we really just wait here, can't we help Miss at all?" What's more, we have no idea what happened to Miss now, what if Miss needs our help? ”
"Listen, Miss should be safe for the time being, and according to this situation, Miss is deliberately hiding from the people in the palace and not wanting to be discovered, so we must not mess up now!"
Mrs. Zhou said at the moment: "The emperor obviously wants to force the young lady to take the initiative to show up on her own, so he will order General Liu to be summoned to Beijing from such a far place in southern Xinjiang. The emperor just wants to use General Liu to force Miss. I will definitely find a way to spread the word about this young lady and ensure that the young lady has a chance to know, so it makes no difference whether we go to find Miss Jasmine itself or not, but it will only put Miss Jasmine in danger. ”
"Yes, Mother Zhou has thought about it carefully, so it seems that it is the best way for us to not change now!" Steward De gradually calmed down: "No matter what, I don't think the emperor at least wants Miss's life, maybe Miss already has a way to deal with it, let's take a good look here." Don't let Miss distract us anymore. ”
Mrs. Zhou didn't know. Their decision at this moment is indeed very clear.
As Zhou Pozi expected, Li Zhi's very high-profile edict Liu Zitong entered the Beijing Face Saint, originally in order to use Liu Zitong to lure Ye Nianchen to appear, so not only would he not block the news. Instead, spread as much as possible. There is no need to worry that such a big thing will not reach Ye Nianchen's ears.
Even before Zhou Pozi and others knew.
And at the moment. Ye Nianchen had already secretly contacted Shadow, Jasmine and the others, plus the people on Gu Mingyi's side, how could any movement in the capital escape their eyes.
And at the moment. Ye Nianchen had already secretly contacted Shadow, Jasmine and the others, plus the people on Gu Mingyi's side, how could any movement in the capital escape their eyes.
After a few days of treatment, under Ye Nianchen's careful care, Gu Mingyi's body is gradually recovering, according to Yoko's words, this spirit is now the best time since the injury in all aspects.
After drinking the medicine, Gu Mingyi didn't want to lie down and rest anymore, and sat there quietly wanting to talk to Ye Nianchen.
These days, in order to let him recuperate with peace of mind, Ye Nianchen has basically made mandatory arrangements for when he can speak every day and how many words he can say at a time.
Gu Mingyi was willingly managed, anyway, he was by Chen'er's side every day, even if he was made to be a dumb man for the rest of his life, he didn't care.
It's just that although Chen'er hasn't told him anything in the past few days, he knows very well what happened, nothing more than that he doesn't want the girl to worry about his body, so he first rests obediently for a few days, so that he doesn't look so scary and worrying.
"Chen'er, I think I'm in a much better mood now, can I talk to you more today?" He applied flatteringly, with the appearance of a promise that he would cooperate.
Seeing Gu Mingyi like a child in front of him, Ye Nianchen couldn't help laughing.
"Then let's talk about it, but don't hold on if you're tired." As she spoke, she handed a few cloves of oranges to Gu Ming to eat: "This is for you, you can't eat more, that's all." ”
Gu Mingyi likes to eat this, but his current physical condition can't eat more, so Ye Nianchen also controls the amount every day, and never takes a little more.
Gu Mingyi was not too little, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, he opened his mouth like a child, and asked Ye Nianchen to feed him.
Seeing this, Ye Nianchen was not annoyed, and followed him to feed the pitiful few pieces to Gu Mingyi to eat.
"Okay, that's all for today, if you want to eat, you'll have to wait for tomorrow." After a while, she said directly: "Say whatever you want, know that you can't be idle, finish it early, and go to rest early." ”
"Well, Dusty is getting to know me better and better." Gu Mingyi couldn't help but smile, but he didn't deny it, looked at Ye Nianchen and asked, "How is the situation outside these days?" ”
"Everything is fine, I have already contacted the shadow and Jasmine, Li Zhi did not embarrass the others, and for the time being, it is smoother than expected. In addition, except for the city gates, which were more strictly investigated, there was no Royal Forest Army searching around the capital. And your people are also doing well these days, and the things you told them before have been done, so you can rest assured. ”
Ye Nianchen didn't allow Gu Mingyi to bother with other things in the past few days, only let him concentrate on recuperation and treatment, and now his body has improved slightly, and it is normal to ask about these.
"Sounds pretty good, but Chen'er, have you forgotten one of the most important things?" Gu Mingyi took Ye Nianchen's hand and said slowly: "I know you don't want me to worry, but the emperor summoned your uncle from southern Xinjiang to Jingmian Saint, how long do you plan to hide such a big thing from me?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Nianchen was stunned at first, and then he was not surprised. sighed slightly and said, "I know that you can't be idle, and you must be disobedient when I'm not paying attention!" ”
"How could I not know anything about such a big thing, when Yoko reported to you that day, I was actually awake, knowing that you were worried that my body couldn't stand it, so I didn't know it." Gu Mingyi said: "Now that I don't mention it, don't you plan to keep telling me?" It's okay to do whatever you want, but it's always easier to discuss with multiple people, so don't we say that everything will have to be done together in the future? ”
"Clear. Naturally, I didn't want to hide my uncle's affairs from you all the time. It's just that your physical condition was really bad a few days ago. Now that you know that, it's time for me to tell you what I'm going to do. ”
Ye Nianchen didn't stop talking about it, and said directly: "This time, I didn't expect Li Zhi to implicate my uncle in the matter. After all, my uncle is a guard general in southern Xinjiang and an important minister in the court. In either way. Li Zhi shouldn't use his uncle to contain me. This is not in line with Li Zhi's style of acting. It is also not conducive to the country's politics and the country, and the territory and the people. ”
"But he did it anyway, for your sake. I even did some things that were not convenient to touch in principle. Gu Mingyi felt a little: "Originally, I also thought that with Li Zhi's personality, he should not do things that would affect the great cause for the sake of his children's personal feelings, and it is precisely because of this that my previous considerations missed such an important point." ”
"Chen'er, what countermeasures have you thought of in the past few days?" After a while, Gu Mingyi saw that Ye Nianchen's expression was a little depressed, and he took the initiative to say: "You don't have to worry too much for the time being, no matter what I think, Li Zhi can't be unfavorable to the important ministers of the imperial court." Even if he really doesn't care about it, the queen mother in the palace and the civil and military officials will not agree. ”
"I'm not worried about my uncle's life, no matter what the way it is, Li Zhi can't do such a thing. It's just that in addition to his life, it is difficult to say what Li Zhi will do to his uncle, maybe it is house arrest, maybe it is a crime, maybe it is ......"
Ye Nianchen didn't say any more, because there were too many possibilities, but she couldn't accept either one.
She only has one relative, her uncle, who raised her from childhood to adulthood, and treated her like a mountain, and now she has to suffer because of her, no matter what, she can't ignore it.
My uncle has been guarding southern Xinjiang for nearly 20 years, and although he has made countless meritorious contributions, he has also made many people in the DPRK and China scruples.
Although the official rank is not as good as that of many Beijing officials, the military power in his hands and the actual appeal in southern Xinjiang are indescribable, and it is not too much to say that he is the overlord of one of the princes.
Such a guard is no longer a guard in the ordinary sense, and for the supreme Great Wei, the existence of his uncle's current power is itself a danger and a potential crime.
When the Emperor Taishang was on the throne, he was already suspicious of his uncle, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Now that Li Zhi has ascended the throne, it is really not a big deal to investigate his uncle under such a banner, and in fact, how can a frontier guard, who has been outside for nearly 20 years, do everything without being picky?
It's really too easy to cure a person's sins, Ye Nianchen is afraid that Li Zhi will make a fuss about this, so that even if his uncle will not be in danger of his life, his reputation in this life will be ruined.
"Chen'er, are you worried that Li Zhi wants to take advantage of this time to cut off your uncle's military power and attribute the actual command power of Southern Xinjiang to the imperial court?"
Gu Mingyi thought more than Ye Nianchen: "In my opinion, this is not impossible, in fact, Li Zhi's ambition and ability are not comparable to the current Emperor Taishang, and it is only a matter of time before he recovers the real power of Southern Xinjiang according to his temperament." It's just that the situation in southern Xinjiang is very special, no better than other places in the Great Wei, and if you want to really take back power, you can't simply rely on him to change the guards in southern Xinjiang to solve it. ”
"You're right, it's not so much that my uncle is deeply rooted in southern Xinjiang, but that only such a way of existence can maintain basic stability and development in southern Xinjiang at present."
Ye Nianchen also seemed to think of something, and subconsciously said: "I once heard my uncle say that Southern Xinjiang is like an independent kingdom, which is not his original intention, because between this seemingly independent kingdom, the interests of all parties are too special and sensitive, once they are broken and let them move closer to the Great Wei court, it will definitely cause uncontrollable riots and the peeps of foreign thieves." ”
"That's right, maybe Li Zhi doesn't doubt your uncle's loyalty to the imperial court and the Great Wei, but for a confident and proud emperor, he can't be willing to endure the southern Xinjiang wandering between his control for a long time."
Gu Mingyi took Ye Nianchen's words and analyzed: "Maybe this time, Li Zhi didn't just rush to announce your uncle's return to Beijing to see you just to force you to show up, maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to completely change the current pattern of southern Xinjiang." ”
"Change? A radical change? Ye Nianchen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he sighed and said, "In this way, won't southern Xinjiang have to be war-torn again?" So the stability that my uncle has worked hard to maintain in southern Xinjiang for so many years will soon be completely broken up and disrupted? ”
Ye Nianchen was sad for a while, for her, southern Xinjiang has long become her real hometown, although it is not as rich and prosperous as the capital, but there are more than ten years of her life memories there.
She saw with her own eyes that the people there finally lived a relatively stable life because of her uncle's efforts, she saw with her own eyes that the cruel war there slowly subsided under her uncle's hard work, and she saw with her own eyes that the originally broken southern Xinjiang finally developed and progressed after more than ten years of life.
But now, my uncle's lifelong efforts, as well as the stability that the people have been looking forward to with great difficulty, are they about to disappear forever?
"Chen'er, there are some things that you can't control, for now, let's think about how to deal with your uncle's affairs first, and as for the rest, we can only do our best."
Gu Mingyi didn't understand Ye Nianchen's thoughts, but sometimes history is pushing forward in the constant repetition of mistakes, and some costs are not something they can avoid if they don't want to see it.
Hearing Gu Mingyi's words, Ye Nianchen nodded slightly, but he didn't think about it anymore, and quickly recovered some of his normal color.
"Mingyi, I think I must find a chance to meet my uncle before he enters the palace to face the saint."
Isn't this exactly what Li Zhi wants? Are you sure you can do it without anyone finding out? Gu Mingyi said: "I'm afraid that by then, Li Zhi has already laid a net next to your uncle, and there will be no loopholes left for you to drill, once you take action, you will definitely be discovered." ”
"However, if my uncle enters the palace, it will be more difficult for me to find another opportunity." Ye Nianchen frowned and said, "No matter what, I must know what my uncle thinks, and then ...... Then you can think of a way. (To be continued.) )
