Sun Sheng didn't understand for a while, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Han Xiao was already sweating on his forehead, and said, "Gao Pei, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, died in the Jinyi Guard's Prison. ”

Hearing this, Sun Sheng didn't dare to slack off, gave Han Xiao a slightly calm look, turned around and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After a while, I saw Sun Sheng leading Concubine Lili Gerba out.

Guli Reba just glanced at Han Xiao lightly, and then left on his own.

Han Xiao lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it, for fear of colliding with the nobles in the palace.

At this time, Sun Sheng spoke: "Commander Han, Your Majesty declares you in!" ”

"Thank you!" Han Xiao hugged his fists and saluted, and then followed Sun Sheng's footsteps into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

……

After listening to Han Xiao's report, Zhang Lingyang had no sadness or joy on his face, but turned to look at Sun Sheng and asked, "Has Gao Jian been here today?" ”

"No!" Sun Sheng shook his head and said.

"I know, look, you go down!" Zhang Lingyang only felt tired, turned around and went back to the bed to lie down, but he was still thinking about Gao Pei's affairs in his heart.

Han Xiao said before that Gao Pei had already instructed his son Gao Jian to offer all his family property yesterday.

In fact, it is not so much an offering as a confiscation.

How many family backgrounds Gao Pei has, Jin Yiwei has already investigated clearly.

If Gao Pei is still alive, maybe Gao Jian will also 'donate' all the Gao family's property.

But now that Gao Pei died suddenly, will Gao Jian still do this?

It is also possible that because of Gao Pei's death, Gao Jian thought that the Son of Heaven would no longer hold on to the Gao family, so he no longer obeyed Gao Pei's last words, and doubted that he was only 'contributing' a small part of the family property to the Son of Heaven.

These situations can happen.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyang didn't think about how to deal with the Gao family.

Originally, Zhang Lingyang had no intention of executing Gao Pei.

As for why Gao Pei committed suicide suddenly, in fact, the purpose is obvious, that is, to get the understanding of Zhang Lingyang, the Son of Heaven, and he has never been angry with the Gao family and the noble concubine.

After all, the woman of the Son of Heaven, although she is nameless and pointless, is not something that anyone can touch.

If Gao Pei doesn't die, Zhang Lingyang is afraid that there will always be that thorn in his heart, even if Gao Pei is dismissed and demoted to a commoner, but when he sees the Gao family or the noble concubine, Zhang Lingyang is afraid that he will remember the humiliation of the Shen family by Gao Pei and others.

It's good now, if Gao Pei dies so suddenly, Zhang Lingyang will not be angry with the Gao family and the noble concubine for no reason.

Even, out of guilt in his heart, Zhang Lingyang even doted on the noble concubine more than before.

These are all things that Gao Pei has already thought about.

What Gao Pei can figure out, it makes no sense that Zhang Lingyang can't figure it out.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyang guessed a little bit of Gao Pei's choice to commit suicide.

"Perhaps, Gao Pei has other considerations!" Thinking of the current situation in the DPRK and China, Zhang Lingyang naturally had some other considerations.

If Gao Pei does not die, what will happen to the DPRK and China?

If Gao Pei does not die, even if he is dismissed, I am afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will not let Gao Pei go easily.

The truth that the big tiger does not die, but is injured by it, who does not understand the ministers of the DPRK and China?

What's more, although what Gao Pei did was a bit out of line, it was not a heinous crime.

Especially under the premise that the second prince Zhao Han is relied on, as long as Gao Pei does not make it, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before he makes a comeback.

When the time comes, the other ministers of the DPRK and China will undoubtedly have one more fierce opponent.

The previous Gao Pei acted arrogantly and arrogantly, and there was no one in his eyes, so the ministers naturally did not regard him as a real political enemy.

But after ups and downs, Gao Pei's level of political struggle is only afraid that there will be a great improvement.

Once Gao Pei comes out of the mountain again, I am afraid that the other ministers will have a hard time.

So as long as Gao Pei doesn't die, other ministers will definitely find Gao Pei's troubles one after another, and even the troubles of his family.

And if there is no power in the DPRK, who can shelter Gao Pei?

Thinking about it carefully, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and Gao Pei didn't have a like-minded colleague.

Therefore, Gao Pei resolutely chose to commit suicide.

In this way, no matter what happens in the future, the Gao family is safe.

If someone persists in Gao Pei's problem at this time, I am afraid that it will spread out, and the reputation will not be so good.

Thinking about this, Zhang Lingyang also felt sad for Gao Pei in his heart.

Since entering the capital, Gao Pei has been the most high-profile relative.

Other relatives, Zheng Yongji, as the first assistant of the cabinet, is as inconspicuous as ever; Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department, has been in charge of the one-third of an acre of land in the household department, and most other things are ignored; Cao Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is even more low-key.

The style of these relatives is not unrelated to their past.

Before Gao Pei served as the governor of Liangguang, the emperor of Tiangao was far away and powerful, so he naturally developed the temperament of saying one thing and another.

And Cao Rui also served as the governor of Liangjiang before, but what is the place in the south of the Yangtze River, the gentry are everywhere, and how many people really take Cao Rui, the governor of Liangjiang, in their eyes? is also for this reason, whether in the local area or in the court, Cao Rui is like a big transparent.

Comparing the personalities of Zheng Yongji, Zhu Kaishan, and Cao Rui, these relatives in the DPRK, it is not difficult to find that it is inevitable that Gao Pei will fall first.

Zhang Lingyang actually does not regret Gao Pei's death, because since entering Beijing, Gao Pei's style of acting has always been on the road of death and death.

Now, it can be regarded as retribution!

But how should I face the noble concubine?

Zhang Lingyang felt a headache.

Even if Gao Pei committed suicide, the Gao family had been greedy for so much money over the years, and Zhang Lingyang never thought of letting it go gently. But on the side of the noble concubine, Zhang Lingyang also had to be appeased to a certain extent.

But how to appease? Zhang Lingyang couldn't think of any good way for a while.

According to the past practice, it was nothing more than to promote the position of a noble concubine, or to reward her with some good things to show the virtue of the Son of Heaven.

But the concubine is the position of the imperial concubine on the Internet.

If Zhang Lingyang promoted Concubine Gao to the imperial concubine at this moment, he was afraid that the next moment, the noble concubine would face the reproach of other concubines, so her position as the imperial concubine would not last long.

If you reward the noble concubine with some valuable things, you can get the billions of family wealth of the Gao family, what good things have the noble concubines not seen?

Besides, how many valuables can be sent away by the sudden death of his biological father?

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang seemed to have a headache, and unconsciously, he fell asleep on the bed......

In the evening, Concubine Gao finally knew the news that Gao Pei had died in Jinyiwei Prison.

Washed off the powder makeup on her face, changed into a plain clothes, and the noble concubine who seemed to have suddenly disappeared with her spirit all of a sudden hugged the second prince Zhao Han to the front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and knelt there without saying a word, no matter who persuaded her, it didn't work......
