Chapter Eighty-Eight: Summoned

There was such a big commotion in the harem, and Helian Hongyi naturally knew about it.

He was discussing the matter with Youcheng, and Wang Shun's father-in-law quietly came to report the matter, and Helian Hongyi's face was not very good.

Because it was Su Liangyuan who had the accident this time, Helian Hongyi had to re-examine it, and Rao is heart couldn't help but suspect that it was Gu Banqin's hand, but he didn't believe that she had such a great ability to turn the harem upside down.

You Cheng was a forty-year-old scribe in the prime of life, not wearing court clothes, wearing half-worn Confucian clothes, with a bookish appearance, seeing that Helian Hongyi's face had changed, so he asked:

"Is there something wrong with the emperor? Why don't you step back and come back tomorrow? ”

Helian Hongyi waved his hand: "No need, it's just a trivial matter, I asked Bi Geng to take a look, and you can continue." ”

No matter how big the affairs of the harem are, they are not as important as national events.

Helian Hongyi was able to distinguish the priorities, and said to the right Cheng, after the right Cheng saluted, he continued to say If the situation is today, about half an hour later, Bi Geng, the commander of the imperial guards, personally came to report the case of Su Liangyuan in the harem.

"The emperor still deals with the affairs of the harem first, and these matters of the ministers cannot be solved in a day or two, and they still need to be discussed and formulated by the cabinet, the harem is uneven, and the emperor is easily distracted."

Helian Hongyi listened to Bi Geng's report, not because he was interested in Su Liangyuan's messing with the harem, but because he questioned the safety of the harem.

Bi Geng hurriedly went down to read the list of guards on duty on the night of the incident, Right Cheng was also a teacher and friend to Helian Hongyi, and Helian Hongyi felt that there was nothing to hide about the harem, so he roughly told You Cheng about the matter, and You Cheng also felt strange about this:

"The harem is heavily guarded, who dares to do such a rebellious thing?"

Helian Hongyi walked out from behind the dragon case and called Wang Shun's father-in-law: "Let Gu Jieyu come over." ”

After Duke Wang Shun received the order, You Chengcai asked Helian Hongyi: "Gu Jieyu...... Is it the daughter of Gu Xiang? That is, the particularly knowledgeable lady mentioned by the emperor last time? ”

At the beginning, Gu Banqin proposed the reform method of the family system, Helian Hongyi did not mention Gu Banqin to others, but he did not hide it from Youcheng.

Helian Hongyi bowed: "The concubine of the Gu Xiang family is a talented ...... Strange woman. ”

When You Cheng saw Helian Hongyi evaluating that Gu Jieyu, his expression was a little hesitant, and this kind of hesitation was not very common on the face of this young emperor who had always had a firm attitude.

Right Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Strange? That must be a strange and surprising woman, who is deeply valued by the emperor. ”

Regarding Youcheng's words, Helian Hongyi did not refute it, pursed his lips and smiled.

Right Cheng knew it in his heart: "I really can't imagine that Gu Xiang can give birth to such a daughter, it's unbelievable." ”

Helian Hongyi seemed to be quite touched by Youcheng's words, nodded and said: "I also think so, Gu Xiang is pedantic and rigid, biting to death the identity of the family, and still refuses to blurt out, his daughter is a smart one." ”

"How is it compared to Concubine Niang?" Right Cheng dared to ask Helian Hongyi.

If this question is asked by others, Helian Hongyi will definitely doubt his intentions, but it is Youcheng who asks the question, and there is no secret between Helian Hongyi and Youcheng.

Before the right Cheng entered the dynasty as the prime minister, he served as a military advisor under the command of the first emperor, and the two were also teachers and friends, and they had similar ideas and ideas, and they were Helian Hongyi's most trusted right-hand man, smiling slightly, Helian Hongyi was blunt:

"If she doesn't have two hearts, she can cultivate."

After these words, Helian Hongyi was silent, because what Helian Hongyi didn't say was that he still couldn't be sure if she had no second thoughts.

Helian Hongyi's evaluation of Gu Banqin made You Cheng feel a little surprised, he had never interfered in the affairs of the harem, but he also knew that there were rumors in the government and the opposition, and the Gu family's concubine Hui had a good reputation for virtue, and she was the best candidate for the future queen.

Even You Cheng once felt that the emperor suppressed the family and the family, and there would inevitably be a riot in the family, so he was very likely to canonize the Gu family's daughter as the queen and use the An family family, but now that he hears it, he is wrong.

I just don't know if the meaning of 'can be cultivated' in the emperor's mouth is the meaning he understands.

Gu Banqin didn't expect that Helian Hongyi would summon her at this time, and when Wang Shun's father-in-law went to pass the word, she was still staying up in the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.

No matter how Su Liangyuan asked, she couldn't ask why she came, so she knew that she was crying, and the Queen Mother annoyed her, so she went to the apse to rest, but they couldn't go, a group of concubines were staring at each other there, but no one could say why.

When Gu Banqin walked out of Cining Palace, she felt that her back was being stared at by the concubines.

Concubine Zhao Defei and Xie Zhaoyi unabashedly showed their contempt for her.

Gu Banqin just didn't see it, and went out hard, still very grateful to Helian Hongyi in his heart, and after returning to Fanghua Palace to change his clothes, he went to Taihe Hall with Wang Shun's father-in-law.

After arriving at the Taihe Palace, Gu Banqin didn't expect that there were still outsiders in the hall, a man who looked like a scribe in his prime stood on the side with his head bowed, his eyes not squinting, and he didn't look at her properly.

Gu Banqin stepped forward to salute Helian Hongyi, who pointed to the middle-aged scribe and introduced:

"You Cheng doesn't need to be polite, she is Gu Jieyu."

Gu Banqin's heart tightened, thinking that Helian Hongyi called her over to ask Su Liangyuan about it, but now that there are outsiders, Gu Banqin can't tell what Helian Hongyi means.

Quietly saluted the middle-aged scribe, this is Liu Youcheng, who is as famous as Gu Fengmao, Gu Banqin does not dare to slack off.

After the salute, Helian Hongyi asked Gu Banqin, "What did Su Liangyuan say about that?" ”

If Helian Hongyi was alone, Gu Banqin would be able to speak freely, but with outsiders, Gu Banqin could only release official news in a matter-of-fact manner.

After she explained the general situation, Helian Hongyi frowned and sat on the dragon chair, and tapped two fingers on the carved armrests of the dragon chair:

"What do you think about this matter?"

"The harem is heavily guarded, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a thing, everything has to wait for Commander Bi to check and see if there is anything suspicious."

As he was talking, Bi Geng came back from the harem with a duty book in his hand.

Bi Geng's tall figure seemed to be sitting on a mountain, as soon as he entered the door, the light in the hall was almost covered a lot, Gu Banqin looked up at him, Bi Geng saw that she was also there, hugged his fists and bowed his hands, and Gu Banqin returned the salute.

Helian Hongyi took the roster handed over by Bi Geng, and after a few glances back and forth, he handed it to the right Cheng on the side, and then he paced with his hands:

"This thing is very strange, it must be investigated, if your people are mixed with bad people, you know how to do it."

Bi Geng immediately knelt down and explained:

"Your Majesty, I checked the duty list before, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and the minister believes that the people under him are by no means the kind of rebellious and crazy people, but this matter is the responsibility of the ministers, and it is also their dereliction of duty, and the ministers will handle it impartially and find out the truth of the matter."

Helian Hongyi raised his hand to him and said, "It's good to find out what happened, it's not that there must be something wrong with your people." ”

"Yes."

Although Bi Geng said this, he was still ashamed on his face, after all, it was something that happened within his jurisdiction, whether it was his person or not, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

Right Cheng looked the list up and down, and said pertinently: "These are all from our Western Wilderness, I know everyone, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to do such a thing." Could it be that there were assassins that night? ”

Gu Banqin glanced at Youcheng, and couldn't help pursing his lips, he only felt that this uncle had a big brain, was there something wrong with the assassin trained by which force?

Went to great lengths to break into the palace, just to defile a concubine?

Is this worthy of the word Assassin?

Helian Hongyi was already observing her, and seeing her snickering expression, he asked:

"What? Do you have something to say? ”

Bi Geng and You Cheng's eyes also looked at Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin's back was cold, and he felt that he had given Helian Hongyi another pit, staring at him, seeing that he was looking at himself for a long time, and he looked like he wanted to see her jokes.

Gu Banqin took a deep breath and considered the words before saying to You Cheng and Bi Geng:

"Actually, I don't think it's necessarily guards and assassins."

"It's not assassins and guards, so who else would be in the harem at that time?"
