"Alas, it's hard to put into words!"

Zhao Feixuan shook his head and sighed, then raised his glass and poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "After this year, won't next year be the fifth year of the emperor's ascension to the throne?" ”

Guo Ye nodded and said, "That's right, next year will be the fifth year of Zhenguan." But what does that have to do with the fact that you're being degraded? ”

"Don't worry, Lord Guo, listen to me slowly......"

Zhao Feixuan was obviously in a very depressed mood, and poured himself three glasses of wine one after another, and then said slowly: "Since his accession to the throne, today's saint has devoted himself to state affairs, working hard to make the country prosperous, and not trying to enjoy himself. It is precisely because of this that the concubines in the harem have not added new people over the years, and the number has decreased without increasing. Therefore, some people suggested that the emperor should choose a show girl to fill the harem among the people, open up branches and leaves for the saint, and add more heirs to the royal family. ”

Draft girl?

Guo Ye was slightly stunned and immediately relieved, and said: "Didn't all dynasties choose show girls in the people every three years? Isn't it normal for the emperor to take four years to start drafting girls? ”

Zhao Feixuan nodded and said: "That's right, of course, it is normal for the emperor to start drafting girls after four years of reign, and the emperor also agreed to play." But do you know who suggested that the emperor draft a girl in the people? ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said that he didn't know, because no one in Chang'an had passed the news to him about this matter.

Zhao Feixuan said: "The person who proposed this matter, Lord Guo, should have heard it, it is Lu Chengqing, the right attendant of the ministry, Lu Shilang. ”

"Is that him?"

Guo Ye's pupils shrank slightly, and he sneered in his heart, how could Lao Tzu not have heard of him? Even if he turns to ashes, I can make a portrait of him and the mud.

As soon as he learned that Lu Chengqing was the one who proposed the draft girl, he couldn't help but think that the Tibetan monk Duo Chiluo had been to Chang'an and visited Lu Chengqing before going to Yangzhou.

Could it be that Lu Chengqing proposed that the emperor draft a draft girl, and he also had a secret relationship with Yang Yong, the former Sui prince who was far away in Tubo?

He can't prove that Lu Chengqing is the secret chess of Yang Yong, the former prince of Sui, now, but he dares to conclude that Lu Chengqing's ass is definitely not clean.

Immediately, he couldn't hold back his speculation and said, "Lord Zhao, if you continue, why did Lu Chengqing propose that the emperor draft a girl in the people, why did he have anything to do with you offending Li Tai, the king of Wei?" Could it be that the place of this private draft girl is in your Ruzhou, Anzhou and other places? ”

"That's right!"

Zhao Feixuan nodded and responded: "Because the emperor doesn't want to make too much trouble about the draft girls, he did not screen the show girls in the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty this time, but only from Anzhou, Ruzhou, Qingzhou, Qingzhou, Zhengzhou and other places, a total of eighteen state capitals. As for why he had something to do with His Royal Highness King Wei, it was because it was His Royal Highness King Wei himself who presided over the draft girl in the eighteen state mansions this time. He is the main envoy of the draft, and Lu Chengqing is the deputy envoy, and the camp of the draft girls is located in our Ruzhou. ”

Guo Ye couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and joked with a smile: "Yo, it's really fresh." The son presides over the draft girl for Lao Tzu, doesn't this make it obvious that the son is looking for a junior for Lao Tzu? Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Wei didn't take into account the feelings of the eldest grandson empress? Anyway, he was also conceived by the eldest grandson queen in October, and this kid is really foolish. ”

Although Zhao Feixuan didn't understand what Xiao San meant, he understood Guo Ye's words to some extent.

He didn't think it was strange for Li Tai to fill the harem for His Majesty Li Er's draft girl, on the contrary, he felt that it was normal and said: "This is not new, I think that when Yang Guangwei, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, usurped the throne and seized power, or when he was the former King of Sui and Jin, didn't he often go to Yangzhou, Jiangdu and other places to search for beautiful draft girls for Yang Jian, the former Emperor Wen of Sui?" This is normal among royals. On the contrary, if His Royal Highness the King of Wei can choose a beautiful girl for His Majesty, and His Majesty is fortunate enough to give birth to an heir for the royal family, it will be a great achievement. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor attaches great importance to His Royal Highness King Wei, so King Wei is also very attentive to this matter, and he has a great ambition to win. Alas, this is a bitter family with daughters in eighteen state capitals such as Ruzhou and Anzhou. ”

Guo Ye listened to Zhao Feixuan say this, and said in his heart, I see, this royal father-son relationship is really intriguing, it seems that the righteousness of the monarch and the minister is greater than the relationship between father and son.

However, he did not interrupt this time, and continued to listen quietly to Zhao Feixuan.

I only heard Zhao Feixuan say: "Ordinary people are naturally very keen on the emperor's draft girl, after all, whose daughter is selected into the harem to serve the Son of Heaven, it is a supreme honor." If one day the emperor is favored, it is to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, which is a glorious thing. ”

Guo Ye nodded and hummed, indicating understanding. This is the same as the world's scholars holding the idea of "learning literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family", and some families also have this kind of psychology when they give birth to daughters, and they can't wait to send their daughters to the harem, and one day they will be favored and fight for wealth and become a noble relative of the emperor.

Suddenly, Zhao Feixuan's face was angry, and he said with some righteous indignation: "But some of the behaviors of His Royal Highness the King of Wei on the way to the draft girl are too arrogant and vicious, and Zhao is very disdainful. The cause of the incident was that the Gu family in Ruzhou under the rule of Zhao was a number of scholars. The Gu family has been a scholarly family in Ruzhou since the former Sui Dynasty. However, the Gu family has never been in business or official, and has hundreds of acres of fertile land in Ruzhou that are rented to tenants, and they rely on the rice and grain paid by the tenants to make a living. Therefore, the Gu family is not only not interested in the matter of draft girls, but also unwilling to participate.

But the Gu family now has a female junior, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Miss Gu is one of the few ladies in Ruzhou City. This matter naturally can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of King Wei and Lu Chengqing, the two draft envoys. ”

Guo Ye frowned, roughly guessed the follow-up storyline, and asked unhappily, "With Lu Chengqing's villain nature who fanned the flames, and with Wei Wangtai's domineering temperament, he must be trying to force Miss Gu to participate in the draft, right?" ”

Zhao Feixuan suddenly stood up, and shouted in a somewhat excited voice: "That's right, Lord Guo guessed not badly." However, the Gu family has ancestral training, and they are not in business or officials, and the descendants of the Gu family are not allowed to climb to the powerful. Isn't it difficult for the King of Wei and Lu Shilang to persecute like this? In the end, in order to protect her name and follow the ancestral teachings, Miss Gu committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in shame, and the old man of the Gu family committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam that night in a fit of anger. In just one day, the father and daughter of the Gu family were wronged and went to Huangquan Road. Alas, how else could it be said that the house leak happened to be a rainy day overnight? On the second night when the Gu family's father and daughter both died, a fire broke out in the Gu family's house, and a total of nineteen people from the Gu family, all of whom were buried in the fire. ”

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Guo Ye looked suspicious and asked: "Didn't you check the history of Ruzhou at that time, whether this Gu family fire was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?" ”

Zhao Feixuan suddenly reached out and grabbed the wine cup and shook it, it was already empty, and then he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Check, the Gu family master has a personal friendship with Zhao, how could I not check?" It's just because Zhao is nosy that he found out the trouble for himself. Just now, there was some eyebrows, and an official document suddenly came from Chang'an, saying that he asked the lower officials to immediately step down from the post of Ruzhou Assassin and go to Shuzhong Yizhou Assassin on the same day. Coincidental or not, you say? ”

Guo Ye is not a fool, how could he not hear the mystery in Zhao Feixuan's words?

I saw him ask coldly with a solemn face: "Are you saying that King Wei and Lu Chengqing not only forced Miss Gu and Master Gu to death during the draft, but also burned down the Gu family's house and buried the lives of nineteen members of the Gu family in order to cover up the matter and prevent the Gu family from going to Chang'an to sue the emperor?" ”

Zhao Feixuan pointed at himself, smiled bitterly, and said, "Lord Guo, I, Zhao Feixuan, have now arrived in Yizhou, Shuzhong, do you think we can't prove anything?" They are afraid that I will be nosy, and they are worried that I will continue to investigate and poke out the big man! ”

Boom!

Guo Ye slammed his palm on the stone table, and the stone table made of marble was stunned with a dull sound.

I saw Guo Ye get up suddenly, and scolded angrily: "I thought that Li Tai, the king of Wei, was at most a deep city at a young age, and he was kind and jealous, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless. And Lu Chengqing's dog thing, he shouldn't have been left with his cheap life in the first place, I knew that today's guy would be such a tragedy in the world, and he was going to slaughter this old cheap dog in the first place!! ”
