Chapter 512: Selfish Desires
After glancing at Qi Wuyin, Xie Yaoguang laughed, "If I don't come back." Isn't it true that no one remembers what Qi Wuyin did to you? Speaking of which, Lord Qi, I have a question for you, what did you do back then? ”
"Sure enough, you are haunted by the events of the year, and you are not afraid to tell you. Your parents did die at the hands of the old man. Speaking of this, the corners of Qi Wuyin's lips hooked slightly, "You look very similar to your mother, but I don't like your eyes." Your eyes are too much like your father Gu Jingheng. ”
The words fell to his ears, and Xie Yaoguang's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness.
"Do you know my mother?" Xie Yaoguang asked in a deep voice after thinking for a while.
"I don't just know each other, I should say that my mother and I have known each other for many years. So, how about I tell you a story? ”
After hearing this, Xie Yaoguang and Gu Qingzhi glanced at each other and nodded. Seeing the two of them like this, Qi Wuyin sat on the couch and began to talk about how he met Xie Yaoguang's mother, Cui Yuniang. It turned out that before her mother came out of the cabinet, she was Qi Wuyin's sister, and the relationship between the two was very good.
Originally, Qi Wuyin also thought about waiting for her mother to go to Cui's house to propose marriage in person, where could she have thought that the little junior sister she had loved for many years already belonged to her. He also knows the person he likes, it is Gu Jingheng, the eldest son of the Gu family.
After inquiring around, I learned that the two people had known each other since childhood, and they had made a family relationship since childhood, and they only waited for the two to grow up before they got married. Therefore, this matter has become the biggest taboo in his heart, not long after he and Cui Yuniang returned to the capital together after finishing schoolwork, he heard that the Cui family and the Gu family had begun to prepare for the marriage of the two.
Not long after the marriage was completed, the two families had already chosen the date of marriage. The Qi family is in decline, and it is impossible to compare with the powerful Gu family.
He hated why Cui Yuniang didn't tell him earlier that he had already been married and had been in love for so many years, so he found another way to consolidate the power of the Qi family so that he could compete with the Gu family.
Hearing Qi Wuyin talk about this place, Xie Yaoguang swept his eyes and said in a cold tone, "So you chose to take refuge in Emperor Li, become a sharp blade in the hands of Emperor Li, and then take the opportunity to control Wu Gootai step by step, right?" ”
"You're smart, just be thorough. The family has always been the biggest taboo in His Majesty's heart, especially the Gu family. Qi Wuyin glanced at Xie Yaoguang, who had a cold look in his eyes, and sneered, "How many years has the Gu family been standing since the founding of the country, and its huge power has long been a taboo in His Majesty's heart. Gu Yuanci, that old guy knew this very well..... So in order to protect the family, he can only sacrifice his own parents and daughter-in-law. Let me continue the story with you. ”
In order to gain the trust of the emperor, he did a lot of things, and these things were what the emperor wanted to do but could not do, he did things well, in line with the emperor's mind, and naturally won the trust of the emperor step by step, and was entrusted with the position of the head of Wu Gootai.
But at this time, he learned that Cui Yuniang was pregnant, and when he heard the news, he was furious and almost wanted to kill Gu Jingheng to vent his anger, but he knew that now was not a good time to move the Gu family.
So he waited until Cui Yuniang's birth was over, and made a proposal to Emperor Li to arrange for Gu Jingheng to serve as the assassin of Yizhou.
There is a lot of miasma here in Yizhou, and it is particularly bitter and cold, and few people are willing to stay in this place for many years, but if it is changed to Gu Jingheng, for the sake of the family, he can only stay in this place.
After hearing his proposal, Emperor Li thought about it for a while, and still ordered Gu Jingheng to serve as the assassin of Yizhou. But what he didn't expect was that Cui Yuniang would actually go to Yizhou with Gu Jingheng, he had already laid an ambush in Yizhou and waited for Gu Jingheng to kill him as soon as he came.
In order to protect Cui Yuniang, he could only choose to go to Yizhou to stop him. A few days after Gu Jingheng arrived in Yizhou, the people he had arranged had already started to besiege and kill Gu Jingheng on the mountain road.
Neither of the husband and wife was willing to give up anyone, and in the end, Gu Jingheng died of anger after counting arrows in his hand, and Cui Yuniang saw that her lover was killed and she was also seriously injured, and she was determined to die, and she shook her heart.
The Gu family and the Cui family died under the butcher's knife of the mountain bandits in Yizhou, shocking the government and the opposition, and Emperor Li was furious and immediately ordered Jiannan Jiedu to send troops to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits in order to calm the hearts of the two families.
Gu Yuanci, who rushed to Yizhou in person to welcome the bones of his deceased son and daughter-in-law, had no expression on his face, as if he had expected this consequence early on, perhaps there was something that made him happy, that is, his little granddaughter was unscathed in the mansion.
Perhaps this is the only comfort for Gu Yuanci. After taking care of everything, he returned to the capital with the bones of the two for burial.
After that, he obviously felt that the Qi family's power was blocked everywhere, it seemed that someone was secretly suppressing them, and those families who were good friends with the Gu family also began to change the law and make things difficult for the Qi family everywhere.
He knew very well that he was afraid that Gu Yuanci had already guessed that this was his handiwork, and it was inevitable that the Gu Qi and Qi families would fight each other because of this.
Of course, at this time, although the Qi family already has a certain amount of power, it is still far from being compared with the Gu family, so he can only ask the Qi family to act carefully, try not to conflict with the Gu family, lest Gu Yuan take the opportunity to make a move.
Despite this, he was still secretly doing things for Emperor Li, and things were getting more and more in line with Emperor Li's wishes, but he found a strange point that the Gu family had become extremely quiet in the back, and everything was done to avoid Emperor Li's edge.
When he was surprised, he accidentally heard Emperor Li mention it, and the existence of the Gu family still made me feel scared. When he learned about this, he felt that his opportunity had come, and instead of fidgeting every day, it was better to take action as soon as possible to get rid of this henchman's trouble.
After knocking on the side, he determined Emperor Li's thoughts, and he told Emperor Li that he was willing to cut through obstacles for His Majesty and put on the infamy of such a traitorous minister.
Emperor Li, who had already appreciated him, although he did not agree with his words on the surface, had secretly instructed him to collect evidence of the Gu family's crimes.
With the will of Emperor Li, he naturally acted without scruples, and found Su Qinglin after searching around.
Although this person is Gu Yuanci's apprentice, compared to the previous two senior brothers, he is not so popular with Gu Yuanci.
What's more, he learned something from Su Qinglin's mouth. Gu Yuanci and King Qin actually intended to subvert the family and open the imperial examination to welcome the children of the Han clan into the ranks.
After learning such news, Qi Wuyin felt that his opportunity had come, after all, his previous behavior was to defend the tree, but if this news was known to others, it would be a joint strangulation, and everyone could get benefits.
After discussing with Su Qinglin, Su Qinglin revealed the matter to the Xue family, the Xu family, and several other families who had no contact with the Gu family and had scruples, and dealt with the Gu family together under their alliance.
On the other hand, Su Qinglin proposed that he should forge the evidence of the Gu family's rebellion and the evidence of the Qin king's rebellion.
