After the rain, Mei Xiaoren had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and sat in the Huxin Pavilion in contemplation.

Just now she asked Ye Zhi on the way to the ins and outs, Ye Zhi said that those assassins don't know martial arts, and they are not difficult to deal with, Jiang Rong was seriously injured because he was outnumbered, and he was stabbed in many places.

The assassination process seems to have no flaws, but Mei Xiaoren caught a suspicious point.

If an assassin is to be carried out, it is often better to send as few assassins as possible, so as not to make too much noise and to make it easier to escape, and it is more effective to send two or three people who know kung fu than to send ten reckless men, and there is no reason for the master to take risks, unless it is more unsafe for him to send someone with skills.

This insecurity may be due to ...... Easy to spot?

Mei Xiaoren felt a clue when he thought of this.

Gu Chuyu walked slowly to the pavilion, and could see that she was thinking about things, so she didn't bother, and sat down silently.

Mei Xiaoren came back to his senses and saw that he was back, so he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty has always been fond of summoning ministers, why did you suddenly summon you into the palace, is it for the sake of assassins?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then what did Your Majesty say?" She asked.

"Your Majesty asked me to send troops to conquer the Wuzhu Kingdom."

"War?" Mei Xiaoren'e frowned slightly, "But the Wuzhu Kingdom is obviously wronged, even if Your Majesty wants to establish national prestige, it should be indiscriminate." ”

"There are many suspicious points in the case, and Wuzhu Guo was reasonable, but when the criminal department chased the envoy back, he actually escaped." Gu Chuyu poured a cup of tea, and after drinking tea, he said, "Now I can't explain it." ”

"How is the investigation of the criminal department, do you have any eyebrows?"

"The assassin insisted that he was a Wuzhu, and the envoy had nothing to say but to cry out for injustice."

To go to war with the country of Wuzhu...... Mei Xiaoren couldn't help but think of the words of the scholar, the reason why the scholar went to the Xia Kingdom in person was to stabilize the new Xia Jun for Chu Yu, because Chu Yu now has internal worries and can no longer be distracted by external troubles.

What's more, the forbidden army is dominant, and it should be Wei Guogong who is behind his back, which means that the internal worries are increasing instead of decreasing.

"Xiao Xiao, did you go out today?"

She left the Prime Minister's Mansion in a bright and bright manner, and naturally she couldn't hide what she was going out of, and she should tell him where she went, so as not to worry him.

Mei Xiaoren nodded and responded, "I went to the Drunken Immortal Residence." ”

As for the matter of seeing the mansion and them, she decided to hide it from Chu Yu for the time being, and did not let him get involved in the battle between the forbidden army and the Shangjing government office, after all, this battle also started because of Jiang Rong's assassination.

She went on to explain: "I don't know when you'll be back, you can ...... if you want."

Gu Chuyu stretched out his hand to touch her face and said lightly: "I don't blame you, there's nothing wrong with going out for a walk." ”

She raised her hand and put it on the back of his hand, looking serious, "Chu Yu, if you don't act according to Your Majesty's wishes, will they suspect that you are harboring the Wuzhu Kingdom?" He added, "I know you don't care what the royal family thinks, and you're not afraid of being splashed with dirty water, but this time it's Jiang Rong who almost died, he is the only son of His Majesty, and he is the son of the first queen who gave birth to him, if this suspicion can't be cleared, Your Majesty and the royal family are afraid that they just hate you." ”

The speculation and worries in her heart were far more than these, and then said: "Not only will the royal family not give up, but the subject country tramples on the national prestige of Daning so much, those soldiers loyal to Daning must be looking forward to revenge, but you refuse to send troops, then they will ...... you" She paused, and turned her eyes to look at the lake, "Your Majesty's proposal is enough to put you in a dilemma, you can't fight, you can't fight, if you don't fight, if the assassin is not from the Northern Desert, if you don't hurt Jiang Rong, I even doubt that the royal family has set a trap for you." ”

She finished speaking in one go, and the more she spoke, the more troublesome she felt, and there was a smile on his lips, and he stroked her face and said two words to her very indifferently--it's okay.

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

It has been three days since Jiang Rong woke up, he is still lying in bed to recuperate, the wounds all over his body are hurting, the more he hurts, the more he hates, hates the subject country that ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall.

Hearing that his father had decided to fight the Wuzhu Kingdom, and for this reason, he also summoned Gu Chuyu and the military department Shangshu and other courtiers, he just felt a little relieved, and immediately received a basin of cold water.

His uncle said that Gu Chuyu had no intention of sending troops!

Jiang Rong was so angry that he grabbed the futon, and although the wound on his arm was painful, his heart was even more uncomfortable. He is a dignified prince, and when he came back from the ghost gate, some people even thought that it would be forgotten.

Wei Guogong stood aside, shook his head helplessly, and persuaded: "Your Highness is angry. ”

"Why didn't he send troops, why?" Ei was full of indignation.

"His Majesty summoned Gu Xiang that day, although Gu Xiang did not express his position in person, but in the past few days, many generals have taken the initiative to ask for orders to lead troops to the battle, but Gu Xiang did not give a reply, but it cannot be said that he is unwilling to ......"

Jiang Rong sneered: "Is he a person who grinds, he hesitated when he fought Xia Guo?" It's not that he doesn't want to be anything! ”

"Your Highness, the minister also said to His Highness before, Gu Tong did not agree to send troops and was inconclusive."

"What you're saying is that unless he has something else hidden, he can't send troops!" Jiang Rong was stunned after speaking, and two words began to circulate in his mind, he looked at Wei Guogong and asked, "What will be the secret?" ”

Wei Guogong sighed: "Your Highness, Gu Xiang has any hidden feelings, and the ministers dare not say anything, but His Royal Highness has suffered such humiliation, whether he can express his evil anger depends on whether a courtier is happy or not, it is really a shame for the royal family." ”

Jiang Rong ignored the injuries on his body, and sat up stiffly, his face was already cloudy.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Jiang Rong couldn't listen to half of the words of concern.

He wanted to be a good person, but he never thought that his kindness was actually fueling someone's arrogance; His abandonment is to make his uncles helpless with him and look at people's faces together......

What is the use of this kind of kindness that hurts relatives and fulfills others!

"I want to go back to the palace and see my father."

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Tianhong summoned hundreds of civil and military officials into the palace to see him.

In the palace hall, Jiang Rong stood in the position where he should stand, and the noble prince's python robe covered his injuries.

He was still haunted by pain, suffering from multiple pains with every step, and he was only holding on to standing here.

Ei glanced to the right and found that compared to his discomfort, someone seemed unusually comfortable.

That person holds the military and political power in his hands, and now he still has his sweetheart by his side, which can be described as a spring breeze. There is nothing unsatisfactory about it, how can it put the royal family in its eyes, it seems that there is no need to put the royal family in its eyes.

But the face of the Jiang family is something he can't lose, let alone be trampled on by others!

If he hadn't been stabbed a few times and was sobered up by the pain, I'm afraid no one would have been able to wake him up......

Emperor Tianhong climbed the Danbi, sat down and asked, "Gu Qing, do you have any arrangements for attacking the Wuzhu Kingdom?" ”

Just one sentence let everyone know His Majesty's intention to hold the court meeting, His Majesty wanted to put pressure on Gu Xiang in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and force Gu Xiang to use military talismans.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does not approve of sending troops." Gu Chuyu replied indifferently.

"Why? Wuzhu Country is bold and openly assassinates the prince, does Gu Qing want to calm things down? ”

There are many ministers who secretly shake their heads and sigh. When did His Majesty ask Gu Xiang unrelentingly, and now he has confidence because His Majesty is really anxious. King Yu is also the meat of His Majesty's heart, and the knives of Wuzhu Country undoubtedly cut into His Majesty's heart......
