Gu Sanye was just like this, bowing his eyelids in the eyes of a large group of people, and connected with Qiao Wenjin.

With the beginning, the next contact is smooth. In this way, the Gu family quickly and covertly became a henchman of King Xin.

After Qiao Wenjin went back to the banquet, Ji Ling quietly came to Gu's house and brought back a letter from Scholar Gu.

The second representative of Scholar Gu was Mrs. Xie. Two days later, Princess Pingyang's youngest son celebrated his birthday, because there were many things in the court, so Princess Pingyang did not feast guests, but invited several wives of important ministers in the court, as well as Princess Ningfu, Princess Li, and Princess Xian of the royal family.

Mrs. Gu, who received the invitation, went to the banquet alone. She went early, and was the first to arrive. Princess Pingyang and her husband personally let Mrs. Gu to the flower hall and accompanied her for a long time to "gossip".

There are always people who come to the banquet first, and it is not unusual for Mrs. Gu to come early, and she left earlier that day, so it did not arouse too many people's ideas. For example, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Li Xiang, who also went to the banquet, didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

But in fact, Mrs. Gu herself was quite surprised. She never expected that Princess Pingyang and her family would choose their position so early and decide to support King Xin. Of course, Mrs. Gu also learned from Princess Pingyang that it was not only the eldest princess and her wife who stood behind King Xin, but also the second princess and the fourth prince who were far away in Yiling, who were also people who believed in the king. However, this made Mrs. Gu a lot more confident in the future of the Gu family.

After the small-scale birthday banquet on this day, Princess Pingyang sat at her desk and watched the horse write letters. The Pingyang horse wrote a few short lines of message on a narrow piece of paper, dried it, rolled it into a ball, and sealed it with wax before handing it over to the messenger who was waiting by the side.

After the messenger saluted Princess Pingyang and his wife, he turned around and went out, and Pingyang said with a smile: "Now Princess Yiling and the four princes should rest assured." ”

"It's too early to say reassuring." Princess Pingyang sighed: "Although it is said that Gu University is a junior five, don't forget, behind the sixth emperor brother, there are not only Li Xiang and the queen, but also many of Lin Xiang's forces in the past have also fallen to him." ”

"There's no need to worry too much." The concubine comforted Princess Pingyang: "Although it seems that Xiao Wu is still suffering some losses today, the current situation in the DPRK and China is changing day by day, and no one can say what will happen in the future." ”

"Yes," Princess Pingyang nodded: "The situation is changing, who knows what will happen tomorrow?" We couldn't have guessed that Scholar Gu would make such a decisive decision. ”

"Speaking of which," the colt suddenly laughed, "I underestimated Grandma Mu before. A girl who got married out of the house could really have such a great influence on Scholar Gu. ”

"She's really good." Princess Pingyang's face suddenly became a little dark: "Scholar Gu finally decided to keep Xiaowu, and she will definitely have nothing to do with her." But...... I don't think it would have been for the events in the Anguo Mansion this time, Scholar Gu wouldn't have made a decision so quickly. ”

"Yes...... the horse also sighed: "The Mu family ...... this time Alas! ”

"Heh......" Princess Pingyang's lips suddenly overflowed with a sneering smile: "He Wenmao, from the perspective of this palace, his luck is over." The father sent Xiao Wu to investigate the affairs of the Mu family, but it really deserves to be called! Primary 5...... Not for the sake of the side, just for the sake of the eldest lady of the Mu family, she will also turn this matter clearly. This He Wenmao, no matter who is behind him, no matter who he has the ability to reach the sky, as long as he does it, Xiao Wu will not let him go. ”

"Self-inflicted." Pingyang replied coldly: "He did it, and he should pay the price." ”

"Presumably, at the moment, He Wenmao is still dreaming of worshipping the prime minister." Princess Pingyang's expression became more and more cold: "Let him be proud for two more days, and when Xiao Wu closes the net, the dream should wake up." ”

Princess Pingyang and her husband were talking in the study, and Zheng Ying was in the study at the other end of the capital, and Zheng Ying was discussing the same topic with others.

And the person who was sitting opposite Zheng Ying and talking to him seriously was not someone else, it was Sun Shangshu of the military department who was carrying a large black pot on his back.

Sun Shangshu really took the initiative to find Zheng Ying. The routine he used was exactly the same as Gu Sanye, and he also found Qiao Wenjin first and delivered the news to Zheng Ying through Qiao Wenjin.

Sun Shangshu's situation is much more difficult than that of Gu Daxue. But he still spent a lot of time hesitating, and it wasn't until two days ago that he completely made up his mind and decided to join Zheng Ying. This time he came to see Zheng Ying, which can be described as full of sincerity, and as soon as he entered the door, he put several thick documents in front of Zheng Ying.

These are all pieces of intelligence and information that Sun Shangshu believes are very valuable to Zheng Ying, and they are all saved by him when he was the secretary of the household department and the military department over the years. Originally, it was something he prepared for himself to save his life. These include evidence that Lin Xiang illegally bought and sold land near Songcheng that Sun Shangshu had collected when he was in the household department, as well as evidence of tax evasion by Empress Wei's brother.

"Why did you bring it to me?" Zheng Ying carefully read the thick stack of documents before asking, "These things, if you take them to King Yi, they can also save your life." ”

"The minister knows." Sun Shangshu replied with a serious face: "But King Yi can save his minister's life, but he can't wash away the grievances of the minister." ”

"Grievance?" Zheng Ying put aside the paperwork in her hand, leaned back in her chair, and looked at Sun Shangshu condescendingly: "Do you think you are wronged?" Why, the military funds were robbed, and your military department is not responsible? ”

"The minister is indeed wronged." Sun Shangshu immediately bowed his head and replied: "Your Highness, the minister has been an official for more than 30 years, from the seven-grade Fu Baolang to the military department Shangshu, for 30 years, the minister has always been loyal to His Majesty and the court. ”

"Conscientious and conscientious?" The corners of Zheng Ying's mouth curled slightly, as if she was smiling: "Such a good official who denies himself and serves the public will hide the evidence of others' violations for so many years?" When Lin Xiang illegally bought and sold land and Uncle Wei evaded taxes, you were the head of the household, you knew it, but you pretended not to know, let it go, and let these moths do evil. Sun Shangshu, where did you get the confidence to cry out for injustice? ”

"What His Highness said, the minister really has nothing to say." Sun Shangshu was not in a hurry or panic, and his face was still solemn: "Back then, in order to protect himself, the minister hid these evidences, and if His Royal Highness wanted to send it, the minister would not complain." It's just that Your Highness, what you do is what you do, and what you don't do is what you don't do. The minister did not collaborate with the enemy and treason, and now someone is putting this hat on the minister's head, and the minister is wronged! ”
