Chapter 353: The Tiger Doesn't Threaten
Gongsun Yang was a little apprehensive when he heard Zhang Shumo's question, today Gongsun Kang did enter the palace to see Gongsun Luo, so Gongsun Luo knew about it. Now that Xu Xuan has not completely cleared his suspicion, if he lets outsiders know that his father has secretly seen His Royal Highness, wouldn't it be true that the Qi Wangfu colluded with His Highness?
Gongsun Kang laughed, Gongsun Zhi's arrangement is wonderful. In any case, as long as Gongsun Luo appears in today's court, it means that someone has leaked the news to him. And Gongsun Zhi deliberately let himself go to meet with Gongsun Luo, just to let the world know that the Qi Wangfu and His Royal Highness were in collusion, and this Zhang Shumo unknowingly helped Gongsun Zhi a lot.
Gongsun Zhi's heart was already happy at this time. Originally, he planned to tell Gongsun Xue about the matter in the court, as long as Gongsun Xue discussed it with Fan Yao, he would notice that someone had reported to Gongsun Luo, and then he would definitely be able to find out that Gongsun Kang had seen Gongsun Luo. In this way, Gongsun Xue must think that Gongsun Luo united with the Qi Wangfu to plan the whole thing. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Shumo made this matter clear in advance, so that he would save trouble.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zhi made an expression of sudden realization: "I understand what Zhang Gongzi meant!" When the eldest brother came to the Yamen today, someone must have revealed the news to the eldest brother, and the person who revealed the news must be everyone present, am I right, Zhang Gongzi? ”
Zhang Shumo nodded: "That's right!" First of all, it's definitely not me, I need to be notified when a foreign minister enters and leaves the palace, if I do it, I will know when I go to the palace gate. And Lord Deng also denied it, then it can only be the news that His Royal Highness or the Qi Palace's Mansion leaked to His Royal Highness! ”
Gongsun Zhi looked at Gongsun Kang: "This matter is not difficult to investigate, as long as you go to the palace gate and ask the errand person, you will know who has seen the eldest brother!" ”
Gongsun Kang looked at Gongsun Yang unhurriedly, and thought in his heart: Yang'er, being an opponent against these people is an excellent opportunity to exercise, you have to take advantage of it.
Gongsun Yang sweated on his forehead anxiously, thinking about how to make up a reasonable reason for his father.
Gongsun Zhi saw that the father and son of the Qi Wangfu had no intention of taking the initiative to admit it, so he continued to ask: "Uncle, Brother Yang, have you ever seen the eldest brother today?" ”
Gongsun Luo felt a little remorse in his heart at this time, he didn't expect that his recklessness would bring such a big trouble to the Qi Palace, and he knew that he shouldn't have come to the yamen without making an idea.
Gongsun Yang's hands trembled a little, and he unconsciously resented Gongsun Zhi in his heart, and Qi Wangfu completely became his scapegoat.
At this time, Gongsun Kang patted Gongsun Yang on the shoulder, and then stood up and said: "If you go back to Your Second Highness, I did see His Highness today, but I didn't say anything about it!" ”
"Oh? That's weird, since everyone didn't say it, how did the big brother know? Gongsun Zhi said as he looked at Gongsun Luo.
Gongsun Luo held his breath and clenched his fists, thinking about how to round his words. I first knew that I learned it from my father's little eunuch, but this eunuch was bought by himself with a lot of money, and if he let his father know that he had placed eyeliner next to him, then I am afraid that he would never want to be the prince again. But if you admit that Gongsun Kang said it, then you have become a collusion with the Qi Palace, and I am afraid that it will be even worse at that time.
"Big brother, who told you that?" Gongsun Zhi asked again.
At this time, another voice suddenly came from the door: "I told His Highness, Second Highness don't have to be suspicious!" ”
While talking, two people came to the door, it was Fan Yao and Gao Yan, and the person who spoke was Fan Yao!
"Fan Xiang? General? How did you guys get here? Gongsun Zhi quickly stood up and went to greet the two.
Fan Yao arched his hand to Gongsun Zhi: "Second Highness, I'll explain it to you first." After you reported this matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty told Weichen to listen, and then Weichen informed the general and His Highness, and His Royal Highness will not blame the old man for leaking secrets, right? ”
"How dare you! Since it was Fan Xiang who said it, then the matter is clear. Zhang Gongzi, do you have any questions? If not, please explain whether you have an old feud with the Qi Palace, right? Gongsun Zhi immediately threw the question to Zhang Shumo again.
Zhang Shumo smiled slightly: "I really have a question, dare to ask Your Highness, as soon as you come, you want Xu Xuan to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, so in your opinion, Xu Xuan must be the assassin at that time, right?" ”
"This ...... I got the news that the assassin had been caught, so I instinctively thought that Xu Xuan was the assassin. Gongsun Luo struggled to come up with a reason.
"Then why does His Highness think that there must be a mastermind behind Xu Xuan's scenes?"
Gongsun Luo thought for a while and said, "Xu Xuan is just a ranger, how could he assassinate you for no reason?" So someone must have instructed him to do so. ”
"That's right, Xu Xuan is just a ranger, even if he is not an assassin, then according to him, my people have already killed all the others, why do you still keep him? Is it to frame the Qi Palace? What's in it for me? Who will know if I did it? If I kill Zhao Tao like this, won't I avenge my friend? ”
Zhang Shumo's words made Gongsun Yang fall silent, Zhang Shumo's words were right, his old enmity was Zhao Tao, and if he killed Zhao Tao, there was no reason to seek revenge from the Qi Palace.
At this time, Zhang Shumo looked at Gongsun Luo: "Dare to ask Your Highness, just now the prime minister and the prince both said that they had seen you, I don't know who saw you first?" ”
"It's Fan Xiang!"
Zhang Shumo asked Fan Yao again: "Dare to ask Fan Xiang, why did you want to disclose this news to His Highness?" ”
Fan Yao smiled slightly: "I just inadvertently leaked my mouth when I was chatting with His Highness, and I have no purpose at all." ”
Zhang Shumo nodded and looked at Gongsun Kang again: "Dare to ask the prince, why did you go to His Highness today?" ”
Gongsun Kang also smiled: "Coincidentally, I also went to talk to His Highness." ”
"It's too much of a coincidence to go to small talk at this time, right? Regardless of whether Xu Xuan was an assassin or not, he had already become a suspect when he was caught today, and this suspect came from the Qi Palace, and the Qi Palace's Mansion was naturally also suspicious. At this time, the prince went to talk to His Royal Highness, wouldn't he let others misunderstand that the Qi Palace's Mansion was colluding with His Royal Highness? ”。
Gongsun Kang snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid of shadows, so you don't have to be presumptuous here." ”
Zhang Shumo also sneered: "A good body is not afraid of shadows, you are obviously going to frame His Highness!" Everyone knows that you are not involved in politics, and if there is an assassination, other people will inevitably think that someone instructed you to do this! When you went to see His Highness at this juncture, you just moved the eyes of others to His Highness! Am I right? ”
