Chapter 54 Self-preservation
Gu Wanniang raised her eyebrows, and Hou Ye's first reaction turned out to be Gu Wanniang told by Cheng Yu.
"Cheng Shizi never told the late mother, the late mother heard it from the second brother."
"Gu Jing?"
Hou Ye couldn't believe it, such words came from Gu Jing's mouth.
Although Gu Jing is literate, he is used to not knowing the gist of the article, not that he really doesn't understand, but he is too lazy to read it.
"It's the second brother, the second brother said casually, it's the late mother who made a big fuss."
Gu Jing is the youngest son of the Nanyang Hou Mansion, and he is also the heir of the Nanyang Hou Mansion who has entered the sect and obtained the permission of the palace.
Hou Ye looked at those birds, his hand was on the birdcage, his fingers were slightly picked, Gu Jing is really a plastic talent?
"This, why didn't Gu Jing tell me himself, but only said the matter of Juju?"
Gu Wanniang: "Grandfather, the Keju Conference was organized by the Ministry of Dejun and Guozijian, and King Qin and King Beilin were in charge; And the imperial list posted here was handwritten by King Qin himself, and the saint was stamped with a jade seal. ”
In the final analysis, the Keju meeting and the bird hunt are the handiwork of one person.
That is the King of Qin who this marquis avoids like a disaster.
Speaking of King Qin, who is both the queen's concubine and the emperor's eldest son, who is both protected by the queen mother and favored by the emperor, people all over the world think that King Qin is the inevitable heir to the throne.
Gu Wanniang also thought so in her previous life, until the battle for the heir later......
The emperor has not established the position of the crown prince for a long time, and naturally he is waiting for the return of others, and this person is the fetal son of the former prince.
Later, the Holy Lord personally welcomed him back to the palace, made him king, and despite the opposition of everyone, he and the courtiers agreed to make him the crown prince......
It's just that those are all afterwords, at that time, the Nanyang Hou Mansion was already full of people, and these were all heard by Gu Wanniang from those benefactors who listened to the piano in Baihualou.
"King Qin is not a benevolent monarch, not orthodox."
Gu Wanniang clenched her hand, "Grandfather, do you know that because King Qin is not a benevolent monarch, the Marquis of Nanyang should protect himself?" ”
The Hundred Years Hou Mansion, the Fourth and Third Princes, the Nanyang Hou Mansion has too deep roots in Jokhang and is too wide. And so on, it is the new monarch Liwei, the best weapon.
Hou Ye sighed, leaning his hands behind his back, seemingly a little helpless.
"If the king wants his ministers to die, he can only die heroically."
Gu Wanniang shook her head, the decline and demise of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion in the previous life did not start with King Qin's attack on the Nanyang Marquis Mansion. But it has been planned for a long time, internal and external troubles, and too many people want to share the cup of Nanyang Houfu.
"The king wants his ministers to die, but how innocent are his family? The men of the clan were exiled, the adult women were prostitutes, and the young women were slaves. They are not ministers, but people. ”
Gu Wanniang's words are conclusive, although the Nanyang Hou Mansion has never suffered such a tragedy in the previous life, Gu Wanniang has seen too many such women in Baihualou......
And in the previous life, if it weren't for the war outside Hangu Pass, Gu Jue became famous in the first battle, who knew that the Nanyang Hou Mansion would not end like this? Moreover, who knows that after Gu Wanniang's death, the situation in Dazhao has stabilized, and will the people in power unload Gu Jue and kill the donkey?
Hou Ye looked at Gu Wanniang with shocked eyes, as if in an instant, on Gu Wanniang's face, he saw the miserable state of Nanyang Hou Mansion like a lump of mud.
"Who taught you nonsense with all these ridiculous words?"
Hou Ye pressed step by step, "I don't know, who dares to have such a prediction about Nanyang Hou Mansion." ”
Gu Wanniang was silent, but Master Hou would not let Gu Wanniang go. If Gu Wanniang didn't say it, she would force her to say it.
"Gu Jing didn't have the courage to say such a thing, could it be Cheng Yu?"
"Or Yi'an?"
"Or Mr. May?"
Mr. May? Gu Wanniang never expected that Hou Ye would talk about Mei Huailing's body. Gu Wanniang subconsciously said, "Why did Mr. Mei say it? ”
Hou Ye stared at Gu Wanniang's eyes, as if there was such a momentary dodge, but that moment was too fast, and Gu Wanniang didn't notice it.
"Why did Cheng Yu warn about this, is it what King Qin meant?"
Gu Wanniang's slightly long mouth didn't have time to close, "Cheng Yu and King Qin?" ”
Hou Ye didn't ask again, but nodded, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence that Cheng Yu had already chosen the matter of King Qin.
Gu Wanniang should have known a long time ago that in her previous life, Cheng Yu was so young that she could be a supreme minister, and it was definitely not as simple as a lord. Lord Shang is just a disguise, a disguise for the King of Qin to completely draw Cheng Yu under his command.
"Cheng Yu's words are not credible."
Gu Wanniang naturally knew that Cheng Yu could not be trusted, and she had already discovered it in her previous life.
Gu Wanniang: "Why does grandfather think that these words will not be said by the second brother, the second brother just doesn't like to think about things, but the second brother has never been stupid." ”
"That's why the second brother didn't send birds, but he just participated in the Keju Conference."
In the end, Hou Ye Gu Jing had hopes, "You said that Gu Jing chose a path not to offend King Qin without standing in line with King Qin?" ”
Gu Wanniang nodded, Gu Jing would have to take up the family business of the Nanyang Hou Mansion sooner or later, if he had become famous earlier, Xu would not have gone to Hangu Pass alone and ended up with a horse leather shroud.
"You must not say such a thing to others today, even your father and uncle, and you must not say a word."
Gu Wanniang responded, "Grandfather can rest assured, it is the second brother, and the late mother will not say a word." ”
Hou Ye nodded, after all, Gu Jing was just an unintentional word, which could be cultivated, but it was not appropriate for him to understand too many of these things now.
"Xiao Shizi, Xiao Shizi, Xiao Shizi......" The party heard Gu Wanniang talk about Gu Jing, so they repeated Gu Jing's name as if they were ingratiating.
Hou Ye looked at the party that was very delicate, and the anticipation of Gu Jing just now was half extinguished.
"Flattery."
Hou Ye didn't know whether he scolded one party, or scolded him for sending birds to King Qin.
Gu Jing was in the outer courtyard, waiting for him to be restless, Hou Ye and Gu Wanniang went to the courtyard of raising birds together. Who knows if when the Hou Ye comes out in the end, he will throw all the birds raised by Gu Jing out of the house.
Gu Jing waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Hou Ye and Gu Wanniang to come out, and he was stopped by the autumn steward, so he couldn't get closer.
Gu Jing looked at it from afar, and could only know what the two of them said, and several times, his third sister almost provoked her grandfather.
But he didn't let his birds go......
After half a ring, Gu Jing finally waited for the old marquis and Gu Wanniang to come out.
As soon as Gu Jing saw Master Hou, he stood up straight, "Grandfather, this bird is all raised by me, and it has nothing to do with the third sister, grandfather don't implicate the third sister because of me." ”
