The smile on the corner of Gu Zhao's mouth became more and more meaningful, and his eyes were very cold: "What does the prime minister mean is that in order to prove Su Mian's innocence, the imperial uncle attacked the Beiyuan people to cause panic, and he wants the Beiyuan people to admit this responsibility because they have nowhere to make a noise?" ”

  Liu Ce smiled flatteringly, and his tone was very light: "The minister didn't mean this, he just felt that the regent really shouldn't have done these things in order to rescue the princess." ”

  "This will affect the prestige of the Western Sage in the hearts of the nations, ...... really wronged the people of Beiyuan, then we won't be able to explain it clearly in the future. ”

  He kept saying that it was for the sake of Xisheng's future and Jiangshan Society, so that Gu Zhao couldn't say anything to refute.

  As soon as Gu Zhao was silent, Liu Ce became more and more arrogant, and said frankly: "There is a sentence that the minister knows not to say, but for the future of the Western Sage, the minister has to dare to say that the emperor, the power of the regent is too great." ”

  "Not to mention that this is a threat to you, the people of Xisheng are also more and more supportive of him, and he is now treating the people of Beiyuan like this for his own interests, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do more hurtful things for the sake of interests in the future (qíng)."

  Liu Ce knew very well that Gu Zhixing was Gu Zhao's imperial uncle.

  Let Gu Zhao abolish him for a while, I'm afraid it's impossible, and this reason is not enough at present.

  Therefore, he can only retreat and let Gu Zhao weaken Gu Zhixing's rights first.

  Gu Zhao seemed to be hesitating, his tone softened, and he said softly after a long time: "But you also said just now, Uncle Huang's prestige in the eyes of the people is very high, and I suddenly want to weaken his rights, I'm afraid that the excuse for Beiyuan alone is not enough, and Uncle Huang can come up with countless reasons for Beiyuan, and in the end, I can't help him." ”

  Gu Zhao's tone was full of helplessness, and his face was also very entangled and painful.

  As if he wanted to pull Gu Zhixing down, this was not only Liu Ce's idea, but also something he (rì) thought about at night.

  What Liu Ce wanted was his attitude, and his qíng instantly became flattering, as if he was about to be unable to restrain his excitement, and his voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty, you are the king of the Western Sage, no matter how meritorious the regent is, he can only be your courtier, no matter how high he supports, he can't replace you." ”

  Liu Ce's tone was full of flattery.

  As long as Gu Zhao laughed and expressed his intention to deal with Gu Zhixing, Liu Ce couldn't wait to immediately offer advice and get rid of this heart and mouth problem as soon as possible.

  So he quickly changed his tone and whispered in Gu Zhixing's ear: "And there is a good way here, I don't know if the emperor is interested." ”

  "What's the solution?" Gu Zhao glanced at him deeply, and the coldness and fierceness in his eyes were completely released.

  Liu Ce didn't realize that this was aimed at him, and said excitedly: "Although the regent is supported and respected, many people still disobey his violent control, saying that he is cold-blooded and cruel, as long as the emperor grasps this point and uses it, I believe that no one will support him soon." ”

  Liu Ce wanted Gu Zhixing to fall into the dirt completely.

  Since he was praised by the people, let him be trampled on by the people, and let him taste what it is like to be abandoned and tired by the people who are protected.

  He was proud, he didn't notice that Gu Zhao's face became quite ugly, and his tone was even more harsh: "The prime minister seems to know how to use the people's hearts, they are my people, and now you are teaching me to use them to get goals, it's really a good means." ”

  Liu Ce felt that Gu Zhao's face was wrong.

  He reacted quickly and immediately apologized: "The emperor misunderstood the minister's meaning, and the minister just wants the emperor to achieve his wish as soon as possible." ”

  As if he hadn't heard it, Gu Zhao sneered coldly: "Fulfill your wish? Can we use the people to achieve our goals? Can I think that these people have always been like chess pieces in the heart of you, the prime minister? In order to achieve your goal of framing the emperor's uncle, you will use them by any means? ”

  If Liu Ce can understand the previous sentence as Gu Zhao's disgust with his use of the people, then Liu Ce can't understand the last sentence.

  He was as dizzy as if he had been hit on the head, and he couldn't react at all: "Your Majesty...... The minister is wronged, everything the minister said is the truth, and there is absolutely no deception, how can you frame it? ”

  "The minister is very worried about the West Sage, but he doesn't want the emperor to be kept in the dark by people with intentions, so he takes the risk to make suggestions, how can the emperor misunderstand the intentions of the old minister?"

  The more he spoke, the more meaningful Gu Zhao's eyes looked at him.

  In the end, I couldn't hide the banter and ridicule in my eyes: "You keep saying that you are thinking about the Western Sage, but you have repeatedly provoked the relationship between me and the imperial uncle, and you want to see me fight with the imperial uncle without even taking into account the people, what are your intentions, do you really think that I am such a fool who is easy to fool, can't you feel it?" ”

  Liu Ce finally reacted that he was tricked by Gu Zhao.

  Gu Zhao was so disgusted with Gu Zhixing just now, as if he also wanted to pull Gu Zhixing down, but he just wanted to hear how many words Liu Ce could say to sow discord.

  Liu Ce only felt deeply annoyed, it was because he couldn't hold his breath, so he fell into Gu Zhao's circle (tào).

  But now it's too late to say anything, Liu Ce can only quickly explain: "Your Majesty, everything the minister does is for the good of the emperor, and the minister can't deny his hostility to the regent, but all this is built on the basis of the regent's interference in power, and the emperor must believe in the minister." ”

  Gu Zhao didn't say whether he believed it or not, but just glanced at Liu Ce deeply and asked: "Since you are so loyal, then I now ask you, does it have anything to do with you about spreading Su Mian's murderous suspicions in the capital and letting Wang Li take people to the Wuwu Academy to make trouble?" ”

  Liu Ce opened his mouth slightly, as if he was frozen in place, and he didn't react for a long time.

  He looked at the coldness and anger in his eyes, and his heart slowly sank to the bottom.

  He was on suspicion.

  It needs to be said that from the beginning, Gu Zhao never trusted him, and the conversation just now was just a temptation for him.

  But he couldn't remember when he had shown his flaws.

  And...... Liu Ce narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly reacted, Gu Zhao would ask this, it was very likely that it was still a temptation.

  If he really has the evidence, I am afraid that it will not be a simple question, and he will definitely be convicted in a practical way, and he will never be given the opportunity to talk more here.

  So Liu Ce quickly knelt on the ground and denied it: "Where did the emperor hear the rumors, it is really wronged, the minister and the princess regent have no grievances, how can they do such a thing (qíng)?" Not to mention instructing Lord Wang Li, everyone knows that the minister and the household servant Lord Wang have always been at odds. ”

  "According to the minister, Lord Wang will go to the academy to mess around completely because of the death of his nephew, his cousin died early, leaving such a son, under the pressure of the cousin-in-law (bī), Lord Wang will inevitably forget the rules and regulations, but all this really has nothing to do with the minister."

  On the premise that there is no tangible evidence, it is impossible for Liu Ce to agree.

  Gu Zhao's eyes became more and more cold, and he repeated the question in an impatient tone: "I only gave you one chance, it's really not what you did right?" The prime minister kept saying that everything he did was for me, and if I found out that you dared to lie and deceive, no matter how much you did it for me in the future, I wouldn't believe you, have you thought about it clearly? ”

  Liu Ce knelt on the ground, with Gu Zhaoming's yellow boots in front of him, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead.

  No matter how much he looked down on Gu Zhao in private, no matter how much he felt that Gu Zhao was just a puppet controlled by Gu Zhixing (cāo), but at this moment, he had to admit that Gu Zhao did have the majesty of a superior person.

  His heart beat like a dense drumbeat, and it took him a long time before he stumbled and explained: "Your Majesty, the minister really hasn't done anything, if the matter of the regent princess (qíng) has anything to do with the minister, the minister will not die well if he thunders and splits." ”

  "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to the West Sage and you, I just ask the emperor not to be blinded by people with a heart, if the emperor really can't trust the old minister, it is also the minister who has done something wrong, and the minister is willing to be punished!"

  After speaking, Liu Ce kowtowed heavily to the ground.

  Gu Zhao stared at the back of Liu Ce's head.

  Time seemed to stand still and freeze, and the silence in the air was overwhelming.

  Liu Ce only felt that his entire back was covered with dense cold sweat.

  He just didn't press the patience (xìng) sub, who knew that he would cause such a disaster.

  Just when Liu Ce was trembling and couldn't figure out Gu Zhao's thoughts, Gu Zhao suddenly laughed loudly.

  Laughing enough, he took the initiative to step forward and hold Liu Ce's shoulder: "Prime Minister, don't be so serious, I just wanted to test you just now, but it turned out that I was completely worried, and I already remembered the pure heart of the Western Sage." ”

  A heart is tormented over and over again, one moment it is lifted up, and the next it is thrown down hard.

  Under all kinds of temptations and sincerity, Liu Ce had lost his ability to judge, and was helped up by Gu Zhao at the moment, seeing the warm and warm smile on Gu Zhao's face, but he couldn't laugh at all, and his heartbeat was still fast.

  Gu Zhao smiled generously, let go of Liu Ce's arm, and asked softly, "Isn't Prime Minister angry?" How not to speak. ”

  "Don't dare!" Liu Cecheng said with trepidation: "The emperor has his own truth, and it is an honor for the minister to be tempted and trusted by the emperor." ”

  It sounds like it's floating, and there's nothing really in it.

  Liu Ce has always looked down on Gu Zhao, and he has always spoken perfunctory to him, and he is tense at the moment, so he doesn't have so much scruples.

  Gu Zhao was very clear about his attitude, and reluctantly laughed twice, and said softly: "The matter (qíng) mentioned by the prime minister just now, I will go down to understand and deal with it well, the prime minister is the west saint (cāo) heart is here, I am very happy, if there is nothing to do today, the prime minister will go back first." ”

  Liu Ce breathed a sigh of relief slightly, hung his head and retreated.

  After he left and the door of the imperial study was closed, Gu Zhao glanced back, raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Come out, Uncle Huang." ”

  Behind the bookshelf in the imperial study, a figure slowly walked out.
