Chapter 378: Silent Confrontation

"The sixth master might as well let Wen Liang guess. Not only is the concubine Niangniang no longer in the Qi Palace, but the Yongle Emperor, who has a weak temperament since she was a child, and is afraid that she will be wronged if she marries other families. After the emperor has performed and saluted, he will leave immediately and stay away from Gyeonggi. And where the emperor goes, in a gentle opinion, the west of the Great Zhou should be the best choice. ”

The four states in the northwest, Youzhou Guanshi, is a dominant family. And the mother family of the Taifei Zhang clan has been friends with the Guan family for generations. During the reign of the first king, the reason why Jieyu Zhang's family was able to fight with each other between the two Zhaoyi Niangniang, but joined forces to suppress the harem concubines, gave birth to Gongzi Yi and the two emperors safely, as one of the three major clans, the Guan family, contributed a lot.

As Wen Liang spoke, everything was said by him. Zhu Xi's face was cold, not much better than the cold night outside.

"If Mr. didn't mention it, Zhu would still be blind, and he would be really ashamed."

Over the years, the Zhu family has focused most of their energy on the court and has abused their power for personal gain. Although Gongziyi had to be crowned the king of Qi first, he had no real power in his hands. is just an idle prince, and the Zhu family will not take him seriously.

Who knew that it was such a rich prince who should have been mediocre all his life, and was imprisoned in Beijing by King Huai in disguise, and behind his back, he was not an honest and peaceful person.

Wen Liang saw that he wanted to penetrate the joints here, bowed his head slightly, and mentioned another matter.

"I heard that a few years ago, the third master of the Guan family entered Beijing with his wife, and still lives in the mansion of Zhao Guogong. The Guan family's generation is not worthy of supporting the talents of the court. is the youngest son of the third master, who has been raised under the knees of the aunt and grandmother of the Gu family since he was a child, and he is loved by the right minister, and he has many teachings on him. The old lady of the Guan family attaches great importance to this grandson and has great expectations for him. ”

The person that Old Lady Guan values is very likely to be the next person in power in the Guan family. Even if Guan Yi is still young now, before he wins the crown, the old lady can choose a trusted henchman to assist his director. In addition, behind Guan Yi, there is no shortage of that figure. Wen Liang lowered his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a wry smile.

"Has the sixth master ever thought about it, why is the right minister treating the relatives and sisters of a mother's compatriots as well as Guan Yi? The world only says that he loves the child, but that is the one, but it is so simple that people can understand his thoughts? Gu and Guan are two families, together with the mother and son of King Qi who are sheltered by the Guan family behind their backs, but with this Guan Yi, the two families will be more involved in the future, and it is extremely difficult to separate. ”

As soon as Wen Liang's words came out, Zhu Xi's arm on the circle chair clenched the handle, and his face could no longer be described in a difficult way.

"How? Guan Yi is only a child. As if thinking of something, Zhu Liuye's eyebrows furrowed, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed.

"As the sixth master thought, Gu Yan, the son of the Duke of Zhao, is also involved in government affairs in the clan at the age of twelve. If the Gu family is like this, why can't the Guan family follow suit? Even if Guan Yi is not as far as Gu Yan, but behind him, there is a right minister who is far more unfathomable than back then, isn't it? With his help, not only can the Guan family continue to prosper for a hundred years, but the Gu family is in front of him to block the Guan family's open guns and arrows in the court. This deal, in the eyes of the sixth master, is it happy to see the old lady Guan? ”

On the day of the Autumn Festival, Wen Liang carefully visited Gongziyi in the palace. Seeing that he described stretching and not looking depressed, his conscience became suspicious.

After returning home, I ordered someone to investigate, and most of the news I got back was trivial and inconspicuous. However, these piles and piles seem to be unrelated, but in fact, they have tried to connect the large and small affairs in Beijing over the years, and they have come up with a conjecture that makes Wen Liang's conscience frightened.

As soon as he entered Beijing, he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm afraid it's too late.

"So, if it is true, as the gentleman said. He is not afraid, my Zhu family will entrust this matter to the king, and expose his Gu Yan's ill intentions? ”

Zhu Xi was furious, thinking that he was one round older than Gu Yan, but he was actually under his nose and played with power in a grand manner. Is it really when there is no one in his Zhu family?!

According to Mr. Gu's words, Gu Yan's plan was laid out as early as when the first king was in power, when the Zhu family joined forces with him to assist the prince.

It is so clear that everyone is sitting in the same boat, and in the blink of an eye, he will release cold arrows behind his back, is what he Gu Yan should do?

A good son, Yushu, the name of the son, I am afraid that he is not far away!

Seeing that Zhu Liuye was angry, he held the pot gently and added a cup of tea for him to dissipate his anger.

"What's there to fear? The two families were in-laws earlier, and in this election, the Gu family was Jiaojiao, and there were only three people who were sent to the palace. There are queen mothers and Helan Zhaoyi presiding over the election, and the women left in the harem by the Gu family, in the end, there is actually only one person left, and she has not been fortunate so far. The reason for this, I think the sixth master should know better than Wen Liang. In this way, in order to appease the Gu family, the king invited the right minister to give the two show girls who were branded to the Guan family to marry. Lord Gu is well aware of the truth of the false and the real, and this hand turns the dark into the light, that is, he will sue it to the emperor, and the king will only be the prime minister to suppress the Gu family again. In the end, he ended up with the name of a villain, which made King Huai even more displeased. ”

At this point, Wen Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhu family was too sharp, and in the harem, it would have almost reached the point where the Zhu family girl covered the sky with one hand. How did he end up like this, the heart of the king has long been biased towards the Gu family.

From Wen Liang's point of view, the Zhu family was already in danger at this time. In addition, with that person who is fueling the troubles, the Zhu family will no longer know how to advance or retreat, and sooner or later, it will invite a catastrophe.

Listening to his answer, the corners of Zhu Xi's mouth tightened. I don't know when, there was a cold sweat on my back. Looking at the gentle expression again, I felt a little more sincere admiration.

Sure enough, to deal with a treacherous person like Gu Yan, you still need to rely on the person in front of you.

So he bowed respectfully to him, but in exchange for Wen Liang slightly sideways to avoid it.

"Sixth master and slow. This gift, Wen Liang really dare not take it. Wen Liang's eyes caught a glimpse of the scroll on the case, and he sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his words. Right now, it is the gentle and jealous person who is more than that. ”

The time when he entered Beijing was still short, and he had to peel off the cocoon and slowly uncover the appearance. There is a faint bad premonition in my heart. Gongzi Dan was exiled in front, and Gongziyi seemed to be deeply involved in Youzhou. What kind of calculation did that man make?

On the same day, later, in the study of Chunqiu Zhai, Gongsun stroked his beautiful hair, thought for a moment, and left a son.

"As expected, there is quite a movement in the east."

This east side refers to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

The man behind the case clamped the chess pieces between his fingers and buckled them on the side of the pottery urn containing the chess pieces, keeping his eyes off the chess game.

"He wants to find out, and let him go." Although Wen Liang is good at strategy, he takes refuge in the Zhu family. It's a pity. If you don't let him see the clouds and see the situation clearly, how can you make him willing to withdraw from this game.

"After a while, I will give him the painting in the study and give it to him."

When Gongsun saw that his son was settled, the black chess, which was already showing a declining momentum, immediately lived. With a quick response, his mind returned to the chessboard.

Both of them are masters here, and during the silent game, the agarwood burning in the incense burner has extinguished the last spark. The curling green smoke swirled in the air, and the smell faded.

Gu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the leak in the corner. The corners of the mouth are slightly curved.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, under the porch outside the study, there was a crisp sound of the jade worn by the woman on her waist in the walking room. When he arrived at the door, he heard her whisper softly, and asked Zhongqing to enter the house and spread the word.

Leaving Gongsun alone to mutter to the chessboard, he stood up and personally greeted the door.

*************

As mentioned in the copy, Gu Yan has mixed reviews. It's not a good class. The seventh girl always thought that the prince liked Brother Yi, but he simply liked children. It's not that she's stupid and can't see it. It's that this man's mind is too complicated, and what he does, even if he is sincere, will inevitably be mixed with other considerations. In his place, he seeks his own affairs. There are many things, and Gu Yancheng's mansion can't be blamed for being unpredictable.
