Gu Xiang looked at his daughter who was tied up and thrown on the ground by the five flowers, and felt a pain in his heart, thinking about when his daughter was born noble, when she suffered such humiliation, at this moment the father's love defeated ambition, and the old tears were paralyzed on the ground, and he shouted bitterly: "Your Majesty, all this is the mastermind of the old minister, please don't implicate others!"

Concubine Xian watched her father take all the blame, burst into tears, and sobbed: "Father, my daughter is not filial!"

She didn't go to the emperor, because she knew that even if she begged, it would be useless, it was better to leave the last trace of dignity!

The emperor exuded coercion on his body, looked at the two of them coldly, and said: "Gu Xian, as the prime minister, the important minister of the country, but he united with the harem to intend to rebel, this crime is heinous and unforgivable, and he will be beheaded at noon tomorrow to show the public to set an example!"

Gu Xiang listened to his execution, his face was sallow and gray, thinking that he was a very human minister and had a brilliant life, but he got a beheading in his twilight years.

He wanted to laugh but couldn't, wanted to cry but couldn't, his heart was desolate and relieved, he could exchange his life for his son and daughter, which could be regarded as making up for the debt to them, kowtowing and thanking.

When Concubine Xian heard this sentence of beheading, a heart "poof" seemed to fall into the depths of the cliff, so painful that she couldn't say a word, she looked at her father with gray temples in a daze, tears kept falling, how selfish and unfilial she was, in order to save her son, she instigated her father to rebel, and her tired father could not die well, she lived shamelessly in the world!

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the emperor actually beheaded Gu Xiang to show the public, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts, what punishment will the emperor give to them, the former Quwang Party?

Thinking about it, he suddenly noticed the emperor's gaze, and was so frightened that he hurriedly gathered his mind and knelt on the ground.

As a result, although there were many people who entered the hall with Gu Xiang, there was not a single person who pleaded for it!

The emperor is very satisfied with the reaction of these people, and he doesn't plan to do much about it, these people are all Kyoto officials, if they are dealt with together, they are afraid that they will shake the foundation of the country, it is better to kill the chickens and monkeys, forgive them without Gu Qian, the leader, and dare not do anything more!

"Virtuous Concubine. The emperor disposed of Gu Xian, turned his head to look at the woman in the past, and the scene of her entering the palace came to mind.

She is so ruthless under the mask, if they are the ones who make it happen today, what will she do with him, the emperor?

Thinking of this, the only trace of tenderness left in his eyes was replaced by a cold light, and he said coldly: "Concubine Xian, as a harem concubine, united with foreign ministers to force the palace to usurp the throne, her crime is monstrous, but remembering her past merits, she will be given a glass of poisonous wine to keep her whole body." ”

"Your Majesty, you can't!" Gu Xiang stood up and rushed forward when he heard this, his hands hooked, and his eyes exuded a compelling light.

Peng Zhan saw Gu Xiang who was showing a crazy state, the sharp weapon in his hand was instantly unsheathed, an arrow step blocked in front of him, stopped his steps, the sword in his hand was at his neck, and said coldly: "Gu Xiang thinks twice before acting!"

The emperor only executed the party at this time, and did not tie it, if he behaved disrespectfully at this time and made the emperor angry, I am afraid that more people will bleed!

Gu Xiang felt the coldness and slaughter of the sword, listened to his words, and sneered: "Who else should I show to the dying person?" After speaking, he looked at his daughter on the side, and his eyes were full of grief.

Concubine Xian burst into tears, shook her head and said, "Father, it's the daughter who is not filial, and the father should not struggle anymore." Seeing Gu Xian calm down, Concubine Xian looked up at the emperor, took a breath, and said with her head bowed: "The concubine has the order!"

"Niangniang!" Gu Xiang was shocked, no! His daughter couldn't just die!

The emperor looked at Gu Xian's repeated offenses, his expression became more and more condensed, and he snorted: "I knew why I had to be in the first place today!"

Up to now, Gu Xiang is no longer holding back, he glared at the emperor angrily, and roared: "The emperor is so thirsty for killing, isn't he afraid of retribution!"

He and Concubine Xian ended up like this, and his son, grandson and grandson were afraid that they would not escape death!

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes shrank, clenched his fists randomly, and shouted: "Take people down!"

When the guards heard the royal order, they immediately entered the palace and pressed Gu Xian and Concubine Xian out.

Concubine Xian was trapped hand and foot, and she couldn't break free, but thinking of her son in prison, she couldn't help crying and begging: "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to die, just please spare King Qu, he is also your son, you watched him grow up, the emperor... Emperor.... ”

The mournful voice gradually faded away, the emperor recalled the past in his heart, felt a little empty, looked at the cold and empty hall, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Retreat!"

Peng Zhan and Mu Langyue glanced at each other and retreated.

But the Quwang Party was a little stunned, the emperor wanted to spare them?

Gonggong Su glanced at the Quwang Party who had been moving for a long time, frowned slightly, and quietly made a gesture to leave.

When everyone saw it, they hurriedly got up and retreated, and when they left the hall, they breathed a sigh of relief, and swept the court clothes that were soaked in sweat on their bodies, recalling the thrilling moment just now, they still felt frightened, where did they dare to stay here, and they went out of the palace busily.

Peng Zhan and the two went out of the palace together, Mu Langyue shook his head and sighed: "This once-prominent Gu family is completely defeated!"

"You can't live if you do your own evil!" This Gu Xiang is smart all his life, but in the end he is stupid to rebel, and the civil officials rebel, it's a joke!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Peng Zhan's mind, the emperor summoned him to the palace today to suppress him, does he also have the meaning of beating?

There are thousands of guards in the palace, and there are nine infantry patrolling and five battalions of orthodox leader Shiyan, he is very willing to suppress the Gu family.

But the emperor didn't use the stone weir, but chose him!

After thinking about it carefully, Peng Zhan was a little depressed in his heart, said goodbye to Mu Langyue, and hurriedly returned to the general's mansion.

This matter has to be discussed with Peng Hao and Mo'er.

Changxin Palace, because Jin Zhe needs to recuperate, so the maids dare not make a noise, and they are all quietly waiting outside.

Praruo walked into the hall from the outside, holding the soup soup that conditioned the body in her hand, she saw Jin Zhe on the couch, put the medicine bowl on the small table, and said unintentionally: "Your Highness, the Gu family and Concubine Xian rebelled, Gu Xiang sentenced him to beheading, and Concubine Xian gave him a punishment." ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhe withdrew his gaze from the book, looked up at Prajna, and asked for a moment, "What about the one in prison?"

Praruo knew the meaning of Jin Zhe's words, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "The emperor hasn't issued an order yet, but it should be soon!"

Jin Zhe's eyes were sharp, looking at the two birds on the branches outside the window, a little distracted, he had seen birds like this when he was not crowned king before, what was he thinking at that time?

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he had long forgotten, yes, those days were long gone, and he still remembered what to do?

When Jin Zhe was in a daze, Praruo was quietly observing him, who would have thought that a prince with a life like an ant could grow to such a point, if King Qu could predict it in advance, would he have started early?

Jin Zhe came back to his senses, looked at the still waiting for Hanruo, nodded slightly, and said, "I think it will be quiet, you go down!"

Prajna bowed his head and said yes, and the blessing retreated.

On the other side, Gonggong Su walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and went all the way to the prison.

Looking at the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand, Gonggong Su thought in his heart, although the emperor was sad, but when he gave the decree, he was not merciful at all, Gu Qian and King Qu's holy decree, this Gu family is completely extinct!

Oh, no, there is one more person, the grandson of the Gu family, Gu Lingyu!

The Gu family's plot to usurp the throne was reported to the emperor by him, and this move was meritorious and should be rewarded.

However, the emperor didn't mention the reward for Gu Lingyu, isn't he still thinking about it?

Thinking as he walked, Gonggong Su quickly came to the cell of the King of Heavenly Prison Qu, picked up his body, pinched his throat, unfolded the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand, and read it aloud.

King Qu sat in the thatched pile and didn't get up when he saw Gonggong Su, but just smiled coldly.

Father-in-law Su is the confidant of his father, and his appearance here at this time indicates that the Gu family's plan has failed?

“... "After Gonggong Su read the holy decree, he looked at King Qu with an indifferent face, shook his head slightly, turned around and walked out of the cell, and went back to the palace to reply to the decree.

After Father-in-law Su left, the jailer closed the cell door again.

King Qu turned around, sat against the wall, and his head, which had been empty for a few days, suddenly remembered a lot of things, he remembered the glory of the Gu family in the past, the play and frolic in Yaohua Palace, the careful teaching of the concubine, and the last thing he remembered was the steamed fish at the palace banquet!

If he hadn't done that at that time, he would still be His Royal Highness the King of Qu who has both ability and integrity.

The strength of the Gu family is still stable, and the mother concubine is still outstanding!

His future will be smooth and bright.

Did he regret it?

The sunlight leaked in through the small window the size of a palm, and he looked sideways, and after looking at it for a long time, he got the answer, and he regretted it!

It's just that it's all late.

On the South Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, Gu Lingyu leaned against the stone tablet, holding a pot of wine in his hand, his face was red, and he cried and laughed.

After taking a large sip of the spirits, he wiped away his tears and laughed loudly, his hearty laughter revealing a heavy loneliness.

He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say a word, so he could only pour wine desperately, and after a few jars of belly, Gu Lingyu fell to the ground and fell asleep.

And the stone tablet he leaned against was engraved: The tomb of my wife Gu Wu.

It turned out to be a mound for the Wu family.

In Yijing Palace, Concubine Hui got the news of the Qinzheng Palace, and she couldn't stop laughing, and said with a smile: "It's really self-inflicted!"

King Ning, who was sitting on the side, snorted coldly when he heard this: "I want to kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of this king and that beggar at the same time, but I didn't think about it, but I lifted a stone and hit my own foot!"

Concubine Hui was in a very comfortable mood, and asked with a smile: "Can you find the person who delivered the letter to you?"

King Ning shook his head and said: "Since the palace banquet ended, he has cut off correspondence with Erchen, and Erchen sent many people to look for it, but he still hasn't found it!"

"What about Gu Lingyu?" Concubine Hui remembered the ending of the Gu family, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little mocking.

"Probably drunk and dreaming of death somewhere, a useless person, what's the use of Erchen looking for him!" King Ning smiled coldly, and his words were very cold.
