Chapter 400: Crowned Prince
Gu Xizhou sighed deeply, waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
was about to go in, but suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers on the other side of the street, which seemed to be Gu Jianglin's current residence, and the holy decree to canonize him as the prince had probably been sent over, otherwise how could the firecrackers go off, which was in stark contrast to his current desolate and miserable appearance.
He leaned against the wall, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and felt his ears go numb.
When the subordinates saw him leaning against the wall, they hurriedly helped him up, and then said: "How cold it is for the sixth prince to lean against the wall, even if you don't listen to the sound of the cannon here, you will be proud for a while, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer in the end." ”
"I'm really tired." Gu Xizhou waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have the strength to speak.
"The sixth prince gave up so easily, it seems that I chose the wrong person in the first place." A man walked in through the door.
"You planned this scheme, but you punished me, what do you want to do?" Gu Xizhou looked at him coldly, his eyes were full of coldness.
The prime minister smiled, and then said: "It's that I didn't think it through, but the emperor is very fond of you, and he won't punish you for making such a big mistake, it seems that there is still room for things to turn around, but you can't give up now." ”
"If you don't give up, you don't have anything to do with the Prime Minister, Prime Minister, don't tell me that you are doing this to help me, Qi Lichen is the one who has an enmity with you, are you afraid that you don't want to cut him with a thousand knives and put him to death as soon as possible? This time, he didn't specifically target the five princes, did you tell me what was going on with that treasure? Gu Xizhou asked.
"I've explained it before, same problem, I don't want to explain it a second time." The prime minister said.
"Then you shouldn't come to me, how lively it is across the street, I'm afraid that the people who go to give gifts are about to break the threshold, why don't you go and join in the fun, you are a person in the palace, I have been completely defeated, what does it mean that you are still by my side?" Gu Xizhou said, remembering what Gu Jianglin said.
In fact, he didn't agree on the surface, but he could still listen to it in his heart, Cheng Xiao was too strange, and his friendship with him was also because of Qi Lichen's betrayal, so he inevitably suspected that the prime minister was using him.
The prime minister smiled, "If I can go, wouldn't I have gone to join in the fun?" But why is it not because I am on the same front as you now, do you think the five princes will still accept me? I've put all my life on you, you can't be so depressed. ”
"Net worth?" Gu Xizhou shook his head with a smile, "What else can I do now, the dust has settled, the overall situation has been decided." ”
"Now it's just a holy decree, and after the holy decree, you have to parade the streets and worship your ancestors, and then you have to hold a ceremony, every link, so many things, there will always be mistakes, it's really not good, if you don't come to the dark, we will come directly to the light." The Prime Minister said.
"What more do you want? Do you still want to kill him like I'm on the road? Don't forget, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Gu Xizhou said.
"The ancestral temple is outside the city, I thought about it, although there will be a large number of people escorting it that day, but it is not completely without a chance, there are many processes to worship the ancestors, and there are many dangerous links in this step by step, if we let one of the links go wrong, then he will never be able to come back, if the emperor wants to check, let's spread rumors again, saying that he has offended Tianwei and is not worthy of being the prince, so there will be such a thing, and the emperor will naturally not say more." The prime minister said.
"Let me ask you again, where did you put Qi Lichen in this plan?" Gu Xizhou asked.
"When the time comes, Qi Lichen will definitely go with him, and they won't be able to come back." The prime minister smiled, "Have you heard of the No. 1 Poison King in the rivers and lakes?" "Wonderful book
"You're talking about Lan Feng, I've heard of his name, he is a paranoid person, and he is also a bit really talented, but I remember that it seems that you sent him out, he has failed, how can a loser take on this role?" Gu Xizhou said with distrust on his face.
"Although he failed once, it doesn't mean that he will fail this time, the poison in his hand is still our trump card, and he will put the medicine in any possible corner." The prime minister smiled, "During the ancestor worship ceremony, if he can kill the person we want to kill, then he will definitely become famous, so he will do this very seriously, this is also the last thing he does, you don't have to worry, I have already sent someone to solve his problem, as long as he solves our problem." ”
Gu Xizhou glanced at him, "Then I will believe you one last time, if this time is unruly, then let's break up, there is no need to be tied together." ”
He was also secretly holding an idea in his heart, if this Lan Feng was really done, then his people would have to find this person first, and then use it as a handle to threaten the prime minister.
If the prime minister does it himself this time, he will definitely leave a lot of evidence, and then he can use this to blackmail the prime minister.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, "This is what you taught me, to kill people with a knife." ’
The prime minister didn't care, but kept thinking about how to let them die in his heart.
There were several firecrackers, and the rumbling sound was endless, Gu Jianglin didn't like the sound of firecrackers very much, and he didn't think it was festive, but he just felt very noisy, probably because the puff skin was red, which meant that it was red.
After reading the holy decree and handing it over, the chamberlain knelt down on the ground and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The big guys said in unison, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
"It's finally time for this day." Xu Buzhi smiled and said: "I have been waiting for this day for too long, I didn't expect that it would be so easy now, and they can be regarded as cocooning themselves." ”
Gu Jianglin glanced at him and motioned not to say such things in front of the big chamberlain.
The big waiter smiled and didn't care, Gu Jianglin invited him aside, grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and put them in his pocket, and then said: "I'm tired, but I have always had one thing I don't understand, and I want you to answer it for me." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so polite, the slave really can't afford it, just ask if you have something to ask." Ouchi stepped aside in fear.
Gu Jianglin sighed, "How could this matter be solved suddenly?" ”
The inner servant thought about it, sighed and said: "The emperor has issued a total of two decrees today, one will is to go to the palace of the six princes, ordering him to be grounded and not to go out, and the other is to come to you, that is, to reward you as the crown prince." ”
"But this matter is known all over the city, if there is no holy decree to explain, then wouldn't everyone think that I am taking bribes, the emperor knows it in his heart, but everyone doesn't know it in his heart." Gu Jianglin said.
"The emperor also took it into consideration, after all, it is too disgraceful to say this matter of fratricide, and he will find a reason to talk about this matter in the future, the emperor is also very concerned about the six princes, although he feels that he has no talent to be the prince, but he has always regarded him as his favorite child, so this punishment has also been punished, the five princes must not take it to heart, the slave is risking losing his head today to say these words to you, you must be considerate." The Ouchi attendant said nervously: "By the way, the emperor also said that if you have to get to the bottom of it, go to him." ”
