Gu Tan was originally a little hesitant to say such a thing on this occasion, but when he saw Cao Miao's expression that he obviously didn't want to hear it, but had to listen to it, he couldn't hold back the happiness in his heart anymore and blurted out.

"Naturally, it is a rumor that Emperor Wei is from the Yuan family."

Cao Miao raised her eyebrows and slowly put down the wine glass in her hand.

Chen Biao smiled bitterly.

Yang Shu sighed secretly, summoned the waiter on the side, and got up to leave. He is older and has experienced many scenes, and he knows that when it comes to this kind of talk, conflicts are inevitable, and it is better to be out of sight than to be caught in the middle.

"Yang-kun, please stay." Cao Miao raised her head and looked at Yang Yu quietly.

"Townsman, I ......" Yang Wei pointed to his lower abdomen, looking embarrassed.

"A matter of two sentences." Cao Miao's face was expressionless, without the slightest intention of giving in.

"Good...... bar. Yang Wei nodded helplessly. Townsman, excuse me. ”

"You are an envoy to Luoyang, you should have met the Son of Heaven, right?"

"Yes."

"Is the Son of Heaven a statue of Yuan Jun from Liaodong just now?"

Yang Wei glared at Gu Tan fiercely, shook his head, and said categorically: "It's not." ”

"Thank you." Cao Miao raised his hand and summoned two maids. "Wait for the sheep king to change his clothes." The maid answered, one left and one right, and helped the sheep out. Cao Miao tilted her head and looked at Gu Tan, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth. "Brother Gu, what Yang Jun said, do you have any objections?"

Gu Tan was glared at by Yang Wei, knowing that he was excessive, he forced a laugh twice, and just wanted to stop there, Cao Miao said again: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing." I have seen King Wu with my own eyes, and I have also seen many children of the Sun family, and I am sure that their appearance is very different, and I dare not assert that King Wu is not of Sun blood. Brother Gu has never even seen the Son of Heaven, so he is gullible enough to believe that the Son of Heaven is the bloodline of the Yuan family, is it too hasty? ”

He chuckled softly. "With all due respect, having someone like Brother Gu by the prince's side is worrying."

When Gu Tan heard this, he was immediately angry and stood up suddenly. "Township ......"

As soon as Yang Wei walked to the door, when he heard Cao Miao's words, he subconsciously slowed down. At this moment, seeing that Gu Tan couldn't stand Cao Miao's assassination and was about to speak again, he was suddenly in a hurry, and shouted: "Captain Fuzheng, you are drunk." ”

Yang Wei rarely stood up to Gu Tan, but after all, he was older and respected by Sun Deng, and at this moment, he was angry, and he used his official title to call Gu Tan, and his voice was fierce, which still surprised Gu Tan, his face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute it directly.

He has evidence, but that evidence is confidential, not to mention that he can't say it to Cao Miao, and he can't say it to anyone. It can even be said that as long as he says it, it will be a leak, not only will he be unlucky, but the crown prince Sun Deng will also be implicated.

This is the purpose of the sheep to call him by his official title.

Facing Cao Miao's provocative gaze, Gu Tan held his breath in his heart, blood gushing upwards, and his temples pounding. He gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, got up and left the table, and rushed out the door, nearly knocking down the sheep standing in the doorway.

——

After taking a bath, Mrs. Sun was refreshed, wearing loose clothes, sitting on the flying house, enjoying the river view and enjoying the food.

After listening to the report of the female guard, and learning that Gu Tan was so angry, Mrs. Sun showed a smug smile on her face. She picked up the wine glass and brought it to her lips, but she didn't drink it, and after a while, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, it is invincible in close combat, and it will kill with one blow." ”

The female guard looked at her suspiciously, puzzled.

Mrs. Sun did not explain. These female guards are too young, and they are well trained in martial arts, but they don't know anything about politics, and they will understand it when they see more.

The breeze is coming, and the face is not cold, but it is drilled into the arms. Mrs. Sun tugged at the open placket. "Send someone to follow Gu Tan and see where he goes."

"Whoa." The female guard turned and left.

Mrs. Sun tilted her head, drank the wine in her glass, tapped her fingers on the desk, and hummed an unknown ballad.

——

Gu Yong sat in the hall, his body upright, his eyes lowered, and his face calm.

Gu Tan, who was kneeling, felt great pressure, couldn't control the fear in his heart, and trembled.

He was too familiar with his grandfather's temper. If Gu Yong was furious and even beat him, this matter would be easier to handle. On the contrary, this attitude of not saying a word has extremely serious consequences.

The last time this happened was at the wedding banquet of King Wu's daughter, he was drunk, danced non-stop, and made a fool of himself in front of King Wu and the ministers, so Gu Yong lay down against the wall and let him stand aside for an hour, until he reflected and repented, and then let him go.

Today, he has been kneeling for more than an hour, and he has exhausted all the words of pleading, but Gu Yong still has no intention of forgiving him.

This disaster is big, and in front of Yang Wei and Chen Biao, he can't hide it if he wants to. Not out of tonight, King Wu and the crown prince will know the whole result and will inevitably be furious, especially King Wu.

The affairs of Liaodong are confidential, and they are related to the national fortunes of the Wu State, and anyone with a little brain knows the stakes in it. Now that he was almost leaked to Cao Miao, the consequences can be imagined. Although he was stopped by Yang Yu and did not say the most critical sentence, his Meng Lang's frivolity is a fact.

Cao Miao's words were too insidious, they simply sent him to the fire to roast.

"Father, do you want me to resign?" As soon as the words came out, Gu Tan's tears fell. As the head of the four friends of the crown prince, he knows the importance of this position, and he also knows that there are many people staring at him—such as Zhuge Ke—once he resigns, he will never have a chance to take it back.

He originally thought that he would not come to this point, after all, he was the only Wu County person among the four friends of the prince, and it was not his personal matter to advance and retreat, or even just the Gu family's business. Giving up is equivalent to the Wu Jun family having no spokesperson by the side of the prince, and it is impossible for anyone to have his influence.

Not everyone has a father who is the prime minister, and he has the bloodline of the Sun family, the Gu family, and the Lu family.

Gu Yong finally opened his mouth. "That's it."

Gu Tan suddenly collapsed on the ground, tears gushing out uncontrollably. He looked at Gu Yong and couldn't cry.

"Father......

"It's better to resign than to be forced to resign." Gu Yong raised his head, his eyes complicated. "Zimo, you are too young, and this journey is too smooth, more than smart, not enough calm, it is difficult to be a minister. At the age of twenty-seven, your father was too shou of Yuzhang, but it was still difficult to convince the public, so that he was exhausted and died at thirty. You are weak and the crown is the first assistant of the prince, and you are impetuous, and you will inevitably fall into a misposition. Come back and study for a few years, nourish your energy, and it's not too late to come out again. ”

Gu Tan knew that Gu Yong's mind had been decided, and it was irreparable, so he could only plead guilty on the ground.

Gu Yong waved his hand and ordered Gu Tan to retreat. He sat in the hall, pondered for a long time, and ordered someone to call his grandson Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng is Gu Tan's half-brother, he has been standing outside the door, knowing what happened, he heard Gu Yong's call, and immediately came to Gu Yong.

"Please come along, uncle." Gu Yong said.
