Chapter 907: Revisiting Chen Shubao
"Investigating the case?" Dugu Jialuo had already been lying down under Yang Guang's support, and when he heard that his son was being ordered to investigate the case, he insisted on sitting up again, and asked Yang Guangdao, "But it's better to investigate Liu Jushi, no, who is pretending to be Liu Jushi......"
"Please sit down with the queen mother and listen to her son's words calmly." Yang Guang greeted Xiao E, and the husband and wife jointly helped Dugu Jialuo to sit on the bed, and took a brocade robe and draped it over his mother's shoulders, prompting Dugu Jialuo to say, "The person you are talking about is Gu Sheng, the brother of the Xinyi Shitai of Wanshanni Temple. ”
"Yes, yes, it's this Gu Sheng." Dugu Jialuo's eyes lit up, as if he had a confidential matter to say to Yang Guang alone, retreated to serve everyone around him, and left Yang Guang and Xiao Er alone in the dormitory, staring at Yang Guang and asking, "Do you know that Xuanhua's wife Chen Weiyang and Gu Sheng are acquainted?" ”
Yang Guang recalled that Chen Weiyang personally told him in the Lanzhi Palace that she had gone to Wanshanni Temple more than once to worship the Buddha, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, and he asked Dugu Jialuo: "How did the queen mother know about this?" ”
"Since the queen mother was sick and bedridden, the abbot of Wanshanni Temple, Xin Yan Shitai, has to enter the palace every day to greet the queen mother, and she told the queen mother." Xiao Er saw that Dugu Jialuo was panting heavily, so he replied on her behalf.
"It's strange that Chen Weiyang took the initiative to mention this matter to me, so I knew that I couldn't hide it!" Yang Guang suddenly thought.
"Ah Zong, I heard that your eldest brother advocated killing Chen Shubao a few days ago, and you strongly opposed it, why is this?" Dugu Jialuo's breath was fixed, and he asked Yang Guangdao with a calm face.
Yang Guang faintly heard that Dugu Jialuo must have guessed that the culprits who instructed Gu Sheng to rebel were the Chen brothers and sisters, so he held the same idea as the crown prince Yang Yong, advocating the killing of Chen Shubao, or even Chen Weiyang, so he presented his reasons for not approving of the killing of Chen Shubao to his mother again, and said: "Queen Mother Mingjian, even if you take a step back, if it is really Chen Shubao behind the scenes, Gu Sheng pretended to be Liu Jushi to rebel and make trouble, and the sons did not agree to kill him. On the contrary, I feel that making the truth of what I found known to the world is more conducive to maintaining the stability of Jiangnan and realizing the great ambition of my father and emperor to truly unify the world. ”
"Yes...... The Chen brothers and sisters dare to instruct people to collude with the Turks to plot rebellion and restore under the noses of your father and the palace, even if they destroy their three clans, it will be difficult to atone for their sins. Dugu Jialuo was in a mood, and coughed again as he spoke.
Seeing this, Xiao E hurriedly glanced at Yang Guang, patted Dugu Jialuo's back gently, and persuaded her softly: "The queen mother's body has not yet recovered, so it is not appropriate to talk to people more, it is better to lie down more." ”
Yang Guangzhi Dugu Jialuo stopped coughing, so he took the opportunity to excuse himself that he still had official business to deal with, and said goodbye to her from Zhengyang Palace.
Standing outside the gate of Zhengyang Palace, the more Yang Guang thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Weiyang asked Yuwen to invite him back to the palace today, not simply to express his gratitude to himself, but probably to take the initiative to euphemistically inform himself about her acquaintance with Gu Sheng, and then wanted to eliminate his suspicion of her.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Guangdeng had a hunch that the case of Gu Sheng's rebellion, which had been unsuccessful for a long time, and even the previous case of Gu Paner's suicide in Jiankang Tongguangni Temple had obtained new clues.
It is not different from when Yang Guang visited a few months ago, the Great Wall Mansion is still full of sheng songs, the smell of wine, and the style of watching the frame, Chen Shubao, the queen of Nanchen, has the tendency of the so-called "mistaking Hangzhou for Bianjing" by later generations, and has completely forgotten the shame of his own country, and turned this not very spacious Great Wall Mansion into another Nanchen harem, drinking and having fun all day long, and never getting tired of it.
"Is this drunken Chen Shubao really the culprit behind Gu Sheng's rebellion?" Yang Guang walked into the main hall of the Great Wall Mansion, looked at Chen Shubao who was staggering towards him, and had doubts in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please take a seat. Bow down next. Chen Shubao greeted Yang Guang to his seat with a sneering smile on his face, bowed his head and bowed.
Yang Guang hurriedly leaned over to help Chen Shubao up, and even pressed him to the upper seat with persuasion, and he sat down with him, and explained his intention without concealment: "This king is investigating the case by order, and today I got a report that the Great Wall Duke and Gu Sheng sneaked outside the customs not long ago and lobbied the Turks to invade the border. ”
Chen Shubao was drunk, as if he didn't understand Yang Guang's words, and asked with white eyes, "Who is Gu Sheng?" ”
"The Great Wall Gong is really a noble person, the so-called Gu Panshengzi, Gu Sheng is the sibling brother of Gu Paner and Gu Zier, doesn't the Great Wall Gong remember him?" Yang Guangyu teasingly reminded Uncle Chen.
"Pan'er, Pan'er...... How could I not remember her? But Gu Sheng ...... I really don't remember this man. Chen Shubao raised his hand and scratched his head, as if he really couldn't remember who Gu Sheng was.
Yang Guang was secretly annoyed in his heart, and said coldly: "Yuwen Panruo, the Great Wall Duke must have heard of this person." She was a princess of the previous dynasty, married a Turk many years ago, and was later blessed by her father and queen mother, allowing her to change her surname to her ancestors and canonize her as the princess of Dayi. However, this person does not want to serve the court loyally, but only thinks about restoring the Yuwen family, and his father has passed down a strict decree to kill this woman and eradicate the source of the military disaster in the north. This king came today, just to sincerely advise the Great Wall Prince, do not follow the example of that Yuwen Prajna, otherwise I am afraid of the wealth and stability in this room, and I will not be able to ask for it. ”
"Don't dare below, don't dare below." Before Yang Guang finished speaking, Chen Shubao was already scared into a cold sweat, and sat there paralyzed, muttering in his mouth.
Yang Guang observed his words and looks, and couldn't see that Chen Shubao had the slightest illusion of being cowardly, so he couldn't help but suspect that even if the straw bag in front of him who was paralyzed by his words had the heart of restoration, he probably didn't have the courage and ability to instruct Gu Sheng to rebel, so he further tested him and said: "This king wants to suggest to my father that the Great Wall Duke should return to Jiankang and live in peace with this king, I don't know if the Great Wall Lord wishes?" ”
"No, no, no, I'm in Chang'an, and I'm not going anywhere." Chen Shubao waved his hand and shook his head.
"The Great Wall Duke only made a gesture lightly and skillfully, but I'm afraid it won't be this time." Yang Guang deliberately straightened his face and put forward conditions to Chen Shubao, "If you want to keep the wealth and stability in front of you, you must help this king find out the culprit who instructed Gu Sheng to plot rebellion." ”
"I, I...... All right. Chen Shubao hesitated a few times, and finally lowered his head and agreed to the conditions listed by Yang Guang for him.
