Gonggong Li didn't feel heartache.

Dowager...... The old slave is incompetent, and he has failed to keep your secret, even a subordinate minister like Ye Zhiqiu already knows about it.

"Father-in-law Li, so far, I just want to ask. In your heart, who are you loyal to? ”

When Gonggong Li heard Ye Zhiqiu ask, he suddenly burst into a desolate laugh: "Who am I loyal to?" Naturally, I am faithful to the Holy. ”

"But the saint is not surnamed Li...... Gonggong Li, you obviously know about this, but you are still so loyal, this makes me a little puzzled, shouldn't your loyalty be against the Li family? Why ......"

"Why? Because no matter what the saint's surname is, he is the child of the Queen Mother, and he is the bloodline of my Yin Mu Li clan! And that little bastard, he is just an ornament in the palace that the saint has to keep as a last resort, a pariah who occupies the magpie's nest! He's not a crown prince, he's nothing! Gonggong Li couldn't hold back the breath in his chest anymore, and scolded loudly.

Ye Zhiqiu finally understood, it turned out that Gonggong Li was the old man of Yin Mu......

He thought about it quickly in his mind, and sorted out the interests of these characters, and then asked: "Then Gonggong Li, do you want to know who I, Ye is loyal to?" ”

"You?" Gonggong Li sneered, "Didn't you say it, that little bastard trusts you so much that he even leaves the matter of killing people to you, you and he are the same dog, so why do you need to ask again?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "Gonggong Li, I thought you were an old man who had gone through ups and downs, and you would see it more thoroughly than ordinary people, and you couldn't think of it." If I really want to kill you for Your Highness, I can let Cao Feihu outside secretly send someone to find a knife to kill you in the middle of the night. If you are outside the palace, at most you can report to the government a case of a gangster entering the house to seek money and murder, how much storm can you set off? Why bother to talk to you and find this ambergris? ”

When Gonggong Li was told by him, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

He was also puzzled by this matter. What exactly does Ye Zhiqiu want?

"You don't have to beat around the bush like this, you didn't let people stab in the middle of the night, you must think that my old bones are still usable, then you just say clearly, what do you want!" Father-in-law Li is old, but his mind is quick, and he can calm down immediately after being provoked.

"I just want a word from my father-in-law."

"What?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "My father-in-law has already said, 'Loyal to the Holy Lord'"

Gonggong Li didn't understand, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu like a cloud and mountain fog in his mind.

"I have the same heart as Gonggong Li, and we are both loyal to the Holy One, but before I can determine my father-in-law's intentions, I have to cover it up."

Gonggong Li is a senior and experienced person, and he was also stunned.

"You...... What do you mean? ”

"The prince trusts me, but there has always been only one person who I am willing to be loyal to, and that is the Ninety-Five Honorable Ruler in the palm of his hand. The change of the throne in the future is a matter of the future, and my Ye Zhiqiu's official seal is granted by the saint, as long as the saint is still in power for a day, I will never half-heartedly have other intentions. ”

"Hmph, Lord Ye's face turned faster than a book, which one is this singing, the old slave really can't understand." Gonggong Li obviously didn't believe it.

Ye Zhiqiu knew that he would not believe it with these few words, so he nodded and said, "Gonggong Li, you also said when we first met today, you should be convicted only if there is real evidence." So I've been planning this evidence for half a day. It's just that what I want to condemn is not the sin of the father-in-law, but the sin of the prince. ”

"What?" Gonggong Li didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to say such a thing.

Ye Zhiqiu took out a folded paper bag from his sleeve, opened it and saw that it was a secret letter.

He stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said, "Father-in-law, you might as well take a look, this is a letter sent by the prince." ”

Gonggong Li took it and looked at it carefully, only to see that the letter clearly wrote the matter of Emperor Wen being the Muyun clan instead of the Li clan, but he did not mention Li Chongyan's own life experience.

Father-in-law Li grew up watching Li Chongyan, and he has been seeing his first words since he learned to write when he was a child, and he is very familiar with his handwriting.

And the letter in front of him is obviously Li Chongyan's handwriting, whether it is sketching or skimming, it is all his usual flamboyant brushstrokes, and even the words are customary.

Where did he think that this was Ye Zhiqiu spent three months copying it with great concentration, and he took the official document written by Li Chongyan to figure it out carefully when he had nothing to do in the Ministry of Rites, and later had to be instructed by Mrs. Ye, so that he could write a fake letter that was difficult to distinguish between the true and the false with a wave, and the content described between the lines was a shocking royal secret.

If Ye Zhiqiu had known these secrets for a long time, Gonggong Li couldn't believe it, not to mention that the ink was still fresh, so he was even more convinced that it was Li Chongyan who had just written it to Ye Zhiqiu, and he scolded more and more hatefully at the moment with the letterhead: "Brute...... Brute! ”

Ye Zhiqiu saw that he believed that he had really achieved his goal, and he didn't want him to continue to look at the flaws, so he reached out and asked for the letter back.

"Gonggong Li, you should be able to understand by now, although you can get such a valuable thing as thousand-year-old ambergris, the prince can also get it. It can become evidence of your father-in-law Li's trespassing, and it can become evidence that the prince has wronged you. With this thing, coupled with this letter written in black and white, when the saint returns on his day, I am not afraid that I will not be able to repay your innocence. My half-day suffering is really for you, Gonggong Li! ”

Logically, without loopholes.

You don't believe it? You can't believe it.

This is Ye Zhiqiu's ability.

Gonggong Li sighed faintly and said, "Lord Ye...... In fact, what is the importance of the old slave's life, he will not live for a few years at most, and the old slave is alone and has no children and grandchildren, and he is not afraid of affecting his descendants, let alone caring about the infamy behind him. It's just that the old slave ...... in his heart I really can't rest assured that I can't get rid of the bloodline of my Yin Mu Li clan. The saint has already lost his blood, and the old slave only wants to be satisfied if he can serve him all his life, so if the beast doesn't say a word about the saint's life experience, the old slave plans to take this secret to the grave and die without saying anything, but he didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, alas! ”

Ye Zhiqiu was relieved when he heard this: "Gonggong Li's loyalty, the government and the opposition are all in the eyes, who can serve the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord for fifty years like Gonggong Li, it's a pity...... The prince is too confused. ”

"You really don't care about the life experience of the saint, and you have no guilt about the saint's surname Mu Yun instead of Li Xin's surname?" Gonggong Li was still a little unconvinced.

"The Holy is the Holy One, the Prince of Benevolence and Virtue praised by all the peoples. His surname is Ye, in fact

Didn't want to know at all. Ye only knows that with a Ming monarch like the Holy Lord, he can ensure the peace of our country and the peace of the four seas, and attract the admiration of all countries and the people! Gonggong Li felt that I was just a Confucian student, but because I was a scholar, I understood the meaning of benevolence better. Ye Mou is in the Ministry of Rites, and he has visited countless countries, but he has never seen a monarch who is as benevolent and virtuous as today's saints! I am not loyal to such a monarch, do I want to help a yellow-mouthed child who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and perverse! ”

The more Ye Zhiqiu spoke, the more excited he became, but he didn't mention the word prince, and Cao Feihu outside listened to it, and wondered who he was talking about.

However, Gonggong Li was so moved to tears by what he said.

"Good...... Good...... Well, Lord Ye understands righteousness, it is the blessing of my yin, and he is also a loyal minister of the saint! It was the old slave who blamed Lord Ye by mistake, and the old slave apologized to Lord Ye! ”

Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly supported Gonggong Li, and said: "It's just the duty of a human being, how can you accept this courtesy?" ”

"But although Lord Ye is a reasonable person, I just don't know if Lord Cao outside is also ......" Gonggong Li glanced out the window, quite worried.

"Lord Cao still has a lot of things to know, because the prince thinks he is upright and a rough man, and refuses to say much to him, but his loyalty is by no means below me. As long as I open my mouth to persuade, he will definitely have the same heart as me, please rest assured that Gonggong Li will be able to do so. ”

"Then what is Lord Ye going to do next? Lord Ye does things without leakage, and there is no need for the old slave to talk more, but the old slave has nothing else to ask for, only one thing can not be assured. Please also ask Lord Ye and Lord Cao outside to protect the Holy Lord and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess......"

"The crown princess?" Ye Zhiqiu chuckled in his heart, he was actually suspicious when he saw the portrait, but he still didn't dare to conclude, and when he heard Gonggong Li suddenly mention it, he took advantage of the situation and asked: "Father-in-law, although the prince trusts me, he is still vague about some things, and he still hopes that his father-in-law will tell me the matter as it is, so that I can act when I have the opportunity." ”

Gonggong Li no longer doubted it at the moment, so he told everything from Concubine Jing's birth to Li Taijun's death in Weiyang Palace, and then to the portrait of Jinquan Horse and the life and bloodline of the crown princess.

At this point, Ye Zhiqiu finally put together all the guessed and unguessed things into a complete picture. He frowned tightly and neither asked nor spoke, only listening to Gonggong Li's details.

In the end, he exhaled heavily and said, "It's not good at this time...... No wonder the prince is so anxious to kill you, and no wonder he will take advantage of the absence of the saint to so deliberately entrap me and Lord Cao......"

"What? What else does that brute have to play? ”

Ye Zhiqiu said with sorrowful eyes: "He...... He wants the two of us to help him rebel! ”

Gonggong Li was taken aback, "Rebellion?!" ”

Ye Zhiqiu helped Gonggong Li up, sat down on the chair with him, and then said, "Just yesterday, the prince suddenly summoned me to go. I didn't know the inside story at first, but I was really surprised that the prince revealed the life and inventory of the saint. Then he said something very rebellious. ”

"What are those words?"

Ye Zhiqiu's face was embarrassed, and he said vaguely as if he couldn't speak: "I said it...... said how the saint was immoral and unpopular, and he was so happy to leave his name in the annals of history to show benevolence instead of driving the royal conquest, it was really a waste of money and ......"
