Chapter 908: Core Secrets
"Gu Pan'er is dead." Yang Guangyin saw that Chen Shubao inadvertently showed his concern for Gu Paner, so he told him about Gu Paner's death before leaving.
"King Jin, please stay." Chen Shubao had already stood up with Yang Guang and was about to send Yang Guang out of the house, when he heard that Gu Pan'er was dead, he couldn't help but blurt out.
"What's the matter, is there anything else going on with the Great Wall Gong?"
"It's fine...... How did Pan'er die? Chen Shubao asked in a slush.
Yang Guang turned around, looked directly at Chen Shubao, and replied word by word: "According to the information that has been ascertained so far, Gu Pan'er was forced to death by Gao Qinglian and Gu Zi'er. β
"Why, how can this be?" Chen Shubao was so shocked that he took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
His reaction to Gu Pan'er's death was really unexpected by Yang Guang, and it also aroused Yang Guang's desire to ask him whether Guan Zizai, the deputy leader of the "Wild Goose's Nest", was indeed as he had guessed before, and was not specifically referring to the truth of one person, so he sat down again and asked Chen Shubao: "Look at this situation, the Great Wall Duke obviously has an old affection for Gu Pan'er. But I don't know if eight years ago, Gu Pan'er betrayed the 5,000 troops of the 'Goose's Nest', and whether the false surrender was from the instructions of the Great Wall Duke? β
"Ah, no, no, no...... I never instructed her to do that. Chen Shubao had not fully recovered from the grief of hearing the news of Gu Pan'er's death at first glance, and waved his hand again and again to deny it.
"That's weird." Yang Guang didn't give him time to breathe and think, and then asked, "Except for the Great Wall Gong himself, I really can't think of anyone who can instruct Gu Pan'er to use such extreme means to act, Great Wall Gong, as the head of the 'Wild Goose's Nest', can you give me a reasonable explanation?" β
"From beginning to end of this matter, Gu Pan'er is good at advocating......" Raising his eyes to see Yang Guang's face full of disbelief, Chen Shubao hurriedly added, "King Jin also knows that I have long ceased to ask about the 'Goose's Nest', so how could I instruct Gu Pan'er to pretend to surrender?" β
"Let me ask you, before you ascended to the pole, did you take Gu Pan'er to Yandang Mountain in eastern Zhejiang, and saw the scenery, and gave the name 'Goose Nest' to the secret spy organization that was about to be created?"
This time, Chen Shubao replied without thinking: "This is indeed the case." β
"So shortly thereafter, Gu Pan'er unexpectedly married Chang'an, was it also sent by you?"
Chen Shubao had no choice but to nod, but he immediately realized that if he followed Yang Guang's way of asking questions and answers, he would inevitably cause great passivity to himself, so that in the end, the charge of instructing Gu Pantou to betray the five thousand people and falsely surrender would inevitably fall on his head, so he hurriedly changed his passivity to initiative and confessed to Yang Guang: "King Jin doesn't need to ask again. I will simply tell you the truth about the dispatch of fine work to the Northern Dynasty after the formation of the 'Wild Goose's Nest'. I think that back then, in order to realize the grand wish of the unification of the north and the south, my father ordered me to take the lead and set up a secret organization, which was responsible for sending fine work to the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties, spying on the military situation, and acting as an internal response. Gao Qinglian lurked to Jiangbei for less than half a year, the Northern Zhou Dynasty in order to unite our dynasty to jointly resist the Northern Qi, to our dynasty proposed to marry, at that time under the pressure of my father, I had to endure the pain of Gu Pan'er to marry in the north, and at the same time appointed her as the leader of the people sent to the North Zhou Road, Guan Zi in this name is Gu Pan'er crossed the river to the north to set up, according to her meaning, still do not want me to forget her affection, no matter how far she goes, want to use this name to bind me, so that I always take care of my heart, do not disappoint her love for meβ¦β¦β
When Yang Guang heard this, he couldn't help but interject and asked: "According to this, Guan Zizai was originally Gu Pan'er, not Gao Qinglian?" β
"Yes. A few years after Gu Paner married into the Northern Zhou Palace, her husband, Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, died of illness, and the successor Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty raised troops to destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty. In that year, Gu Pan'er suddenly wrote to me, offering to give Gao Qinglian the name of Guan Zizi and the scheduling power of the east and west people, and said that she would break away from the 'Wild Goose's Nest' organization, become a nun, and live a peaceful life. I received a letter from Gu Paner, who had secretly ordered Gao Qinglian to conduct a thorough investigation of Gu Paner, according to Gao Qinglian's investigation, Gu Paner was because Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a male and female affair with Yuwen Hu, a powerful minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time, and was pregnant with Yuwen Hu's child.
After I received Gao Qinglian's report, I originally planned to order Gu Pan'er to return to Jiangnan to give birth and raise her and Yuwenhu's children to grow up, but somehow, my father learned about this and ordered me to pass on my order to Gu Pan'er, one to allow her to temporarily become a monk to avoid trouble, and cut off all contact with the 'Goose's Nest', and the other strictly ordered her to resume her identity as a meticulous worker and serve the court once the court needs her to serve in the future. In order to comfort Gu Pan'er, I also promised her in the handwritten letter I wrote to her that in the future, I would ensure that she and Yuwenhu's children would be prosperous and prosperous, and spend their lives in peace. β
"This is the real reason why Gu Pan'er proposed to me that she would be willing to surrender to the imperial court in exchange for sending the dust back to Jiangnan, right?" Yang Guang suddenly realized.
"I guess so. But not long after that, my father died, and I succeeded to the throne as the emperor of Nanchen, so I handed over everything from the 'Wild Goose's Nest' to the third brother (Chen) Shujian to take charge of it, until the time of the death of the country, all the affairs related to the 'Wild Goose's Nest' were in the hands of Shang Shu Lingjiang, and I never asked about one person, let alone instructed Gu Pan'er to leave the matter of surrendering......"
"If what you said is true, then Guan Zi gave Gao Qinglian in this name, her status in the 'Goose's Nest' was originally higher than Gao Qinglian's, eight years ago, she betrayed Gao Qinglian and 5,000 'Goose's Nest' as a price, pretending to surrender to the imperial court, it is not to say that she inherited Guan Zi's position." Yang Guang listened to Chen Shubao's narration and muttered to himself.
"I remember, before my father died, he still remembered the great cause of realizing the reunification of the north and the south, as if he had ordered someone to send a will to Chang'an, and it is likely that in this will, it was authorized to Gu Pan'er, and he could act cheaply in the future." Chen Shubao groaned and guessed.
