And......

Thinking of that man's words, Wei Ping felt a pang of fear in his heart.

He always knew that person was powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have been dealing with the emperor for so long, but he didn't understand, his little bit of caution, let alone talking about it, even his face never showed it, how did that person know?

thought it was a little secret in his heart, but when he was exposed to "broad daylight" at first glance, the panic in his heart was enough to annihilate him.

On the desk in the imperial study, in addition to the folds accumulated after the Chinese New Year, there is also a letter lying quietly on the top.

Wei Ping recognized the envelope.

Last time, there was such a letter, and then during the palace banquet, the second prince did it.

Therefore, the emperor was not surprised at all by the things that happened on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because the emperor had expected it a long time ago.

Although the letter did not mention the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it also played a role as a reminder, and according to the emperor's ability, most of the later events could be predicted.

One ring after another, so let it be.

So, the death of those officials was calculated by the emperor and generals?

Wei Ping was shocked and didn't dare to continue guessing.

All he knew was that if he did what the man said, the better his chances of survival!

Therefore, he passed the news that the emperor was going to establish a crown prince to Duanmu Qing, and even swore to Duanmu Qing according to that person's instructions that the name on the holy decree was the fourth prince, forcing the third prince to force the palace!

After the matter was over, he secretly opened the holy decree and looked at it, and there was a blank on the holy decree, let alone a name, not a single ink blot.

Shocked!

He prides himself on being the most trusted person around the emperor, after all, he and the emperor are in love.

He never expected this "affection" to help him, but at least it could save his life at some critical moments.

It's just that he didn't expect it, it's all his assumption!

"I'm wondering, who can send the letter in under my nose, or is it that all the people around me don't work?"

"The Emperor's ......"

Wei Ping knelt down with a puff.

The people around the emperor?

The people around the emperor, except for them eunuchs and palace maids, are the so-called inner guards.

Then the old emperor's words are interesting.

The old emperor was condescending and glanced at Wei Ping.

"I know that I am old, and those who follow me are about to start finding a way for themselves. It's good that you're as old as you are, and the old money that should have been saved over the years is almost saved, and when the time comes, if you are willing, follow me to raise your life or go out of the palace by yourself, no one can embarrass you. But those little ones can't do it, they still have to spend a long time in the palace, how can they not plan for themselves? ”

"Your Majesty, the people in the palace are used to doing this, praising the high and stepping on the low, why should the emperor be angry because of these people?" No matter how worried he was, Wei Ping's face was also tense, and he looked respectful, "This letter is sent in, and there are also benefits to sending it in, at least the emperor can take precautions and arrange in advance." As for what the emperor is worried about, the owner of this letter is hooking up with people in the palace......"

"Your Majesty, to say something brainless," Wei Ping said as straight as he could, "That person really wants to peek into the emperor's position, and he won't reveal this news to the emperor." ”

The old emperor's eyes tightened, "He revealed the news to me, either waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, or he really didn't have the heart to peep into the throne." ”

But no matter what it was, the old emperor felt aggrieved.

Waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, because he is now on the throne, so he is the most restless and anxious one, and he will definitely deal with these things as soon as possible, and in the end, who will get the benefits is not known!

If he doesn't have a peep on the throne, the old emperor is even more aggrieved.

He worked hard to get it, took a lot of effort to maintain, and the other party scoffed at it, which made him embarrassed!

"That's it, let's settle King Lu's matter first, and the rest can be put aside for the time being."

King Lu's affairs are very important!

According to the old emperor's suspicions, he would not hand over this matter to his remaining two sons, but the final choice was unexpected by everyone, but it was reasonable.

The old emperor gave this task to the Marquis of Zhenyuan!

Think about it too.

Looking at the entire dynasty, there is no other candidate for King Lu except the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Someone who can make the old emperor jealous for decades is a mediocre person?

Of course, there is also the most crucial point, Jincheng is the base camp of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and no one is more familiar with it than him.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan, who was originally going to leave for southern Xinjiang after the New Year, stayed for the first time, and as for returning to Jincheng to arrest King Lu, he handed it over to Gu Jinzhen.

Before leaving, Gu Jinzhen went back to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

The capital has been an eventful time lately.

From the Dingguo Marquis Mansion to the Imperial Palace in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve, the so-called family family not only caused a bloody storm in their own homes, but also implicated innocent bystanders, and even made people panic and have no interest in political affairs.

The current Marquis of Dingguo is Gu Jintai, but in front of Gu Jinzhen, Gu Jintai still looks like a fan brother, and personally went to the front to welcome Gu Jinzhen in.

"Big brother, when I learned that you were coming back, my father was very happy, his spirits were much better, and he drank half a bowl of soup at noon." Gu Jintai seemed to be saying something big, and happily led Gu Jinzhen inside.

"Call the Feng clan too."

Gu Jintai's footsteps paused slightly, "What's the matter with the eldest brother?" ”

"There are some old words, if the third brother is interested, he can also stay and listen to it together."

"Big brother, what are these words?" Gu Jintai sneered awkwardly.

After sending Gu Jinzhen to the room of the old Dingguo Marquis, Gu Jintai really stayed.

As if to make his stay more natural, Gu Jintai called Gu Jinxuan too, just like a family party.

Feng is visibly old.

The gray hair is neatly combed behind her head, and the originally well-maintained face has deep and shallow wrinkles vertically and horizontally, and the drooping corners of her eyes make her eyes obviously inverted triangles, and everyone has a fierce light!

The corners of his mouth are slightly pursed, and he habitually hangs a mocking smile.

Aunt Ruan sat on the edge of the bed and snorted softly gloatingly.

Gu Jinxuan is no better!

Originally, after he was injured, the whole person was gloomy, which made people very uncomfortable, and after the failure of the battle for the title, he was placed under house arrest by the old Dingguo Marquis, and from time to time, several corpses would be carried out in the courtyard, which made the people of the East Courtyard panic.

Later, Aunt Ruan simply withdrew all the people in the East Courtyard, leaving only a doorman outside the courtyard, three meals a day, meals delivered to the door, and the people in the courtyard carried them back by themselves.

At first, this matter was done by Chang Yulian, but the people of the Chang family are not stupid, now the people in the second room have nothing to do with the title, and Gu Jinxuan is inhumane, why should people let their daughters stay alive and widowed?

At the beginning, the two families married, but because they were both people with the three highnesses, and they were all valued by the three highnesses, the two families joined forces, and in the future, the three highnesses sat in a high position, not only their identities rose, but even their power could cover the sky with one hand!

Can now?

His Royal Highness said that if it didn't, it would be gone, and the title of Marquis of Dingguo was not a second room, so they didn't need to lose a daughter!

At the beginning, Gu Jinxuan asked for Chang Yulian by dirty means, and now, their demands are reasonable.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is now in charge of Aunt Ruan, but she can't do anything about this matter, and after seeking the opinion of the old Dingguo Hou, she naturally refused.

But the Chang family was determined to reconcile, Chang Hong had a "long talk" with the old Dingguohou, no one knew what they said, the Laodingguohou changed his mind, agreed to leave with him, Chang Yulian took it away, and her dowry.

As a result, Gu Jinxuan was left alone in the East Courtyard, and the three meals were still delivered to the door on time, as for whether Gu Jinxuan ate or not, it was his business.

So, to be precise, this is the first time in such a long time that Gu Jinxuan has appeared in front of everyone.

It's ridiculously white!

This is Gu Jinxuan's first impression.

With those black and green eyes, the little maid outside the house shivered stiffly.

"Uncle, why do you have time to see the master today?" Aunt Ruan's delicate voice looked like a master.

Gu Jinzhen didn't even throw a straight eye, "I don't know when it started, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion needs an aunt to show her face?" Although there is no housewife in the third room, the Feng family is still there. ”

"Gu Jinzhen, did you come back to say these harsh and mean words that sow discord?" Under the "careful" care of Aunt Ruan, although his body could not leave the bed, he could speak sharply, which also made him more partial to Aunt Ruan.

"What your mother did, you don't know, I didn't sue the official, I didn't leave peacefully, I have already done my best, let her live in the Hou Mansion for a long time, what else do you want? Your third brother hasn't gotten married yet, and there is no one in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, so I let my aunt manage the backyard on my behalf, is there anything wrong? There is no precedent in the circle! ”

"Does the old marquis mean the loyal and brave waiting house?" Gu Jinzhen's rhetorical question made the voice of the old Dingguo Marquis stop abruptly.

"Big brother, it's rare for you to come back once, let's talk about what you have to say. The Hou Mansion has just experienced a great upheaval, and at this time, we should be more united. ”

Gu Jinzhen looked at Gu Jintai with a solemn face, "If these words are aimed at outsiders, it is understandable, but if I am not mistaken, isn't the vastness of the Hou Mansion caused by internal troubles?" ”

So, to whom is this unanimity to the outside world?

"Gu Jinzhen! Shut up if you can't speak! ”

Facing the hysteria of the old marquis, Gu Jinzhen only smiled slightly, "I came back this time to reminisce about the past." ”

"Renewing? I don't think we have anything to talk about with General Gu. It was Gu Jinxuan who said this, and from his name for Gu Jinzhen, it was not difficult to hear the ridicule.

"Naturally, there is, but it doesn't start with you," Gu Jin looked at the old Dingguo Marquis faintly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

As if he had a sense, the old Dingguo Marquis "chuckled" in his heart.

Feng sat on the side without caring about himself, looking at the old Dingguo Marquis with a sarcastic gaze.
