While the father and son were talking, a gentle woman came over, and when she saw Gu Lingyuan, her eyes were full of joy, and she complained slightly: "Why didn't Yuan'er say a word to my mother when she came back?" ”

"Mother, I have something to tell my father when I come back, thinking that it is noon, and it will be time to eat, and I will see you at the table later, so I will come to my father's side to talk about things first, and I plan to see you after we have finished talking." Gu Lingyuan saw his mother and stood up.

The woman's appearance is quite ordinary, even if she is rich, she is not brilliant at all on the street, and she is even more unremarkable when she stands next to Gu Shilang, who is faintly considered to be the middleman of the champion Hou and Qiu Chan.

Gu Shilang looked at the woman who walked to the side of the young man and carefully looked at the young man if he had lost weight in the past few days, and said gently: "Yuan'er and I still have something to say, madam, you go to prepare the meal first, we will go immediately." ”

"Well, if you have something, you can talk about it first." The gentle woman smiled and walked away.

Watching his mother walk away, Gu Lingyuan continued: "The world-shaking champion Hou was seriously ill and nearly died overnight, and the Tiance Divine Army, which had high hopes, disappeared silently, this is not a trivial matter, according to reason, this matter will definitely be judged thousands of times and become a major event heard by the world, but the emperor and the champion Hou are silent, then this matter is definitely not simple." ”

"Then why don't you think this matter is made public? Why did the emperor and Bai Shangshu hide it? A middle-aged man dressed in a scholar's clothes asked the young man.

Gu Lingyuan thought for a long time, looked at his son who was frowning and thinking, Gu Shilang didn't urge, waited quietly, the young man thought for a while, and said with great certainty: "Maybe it's an unspeakable scandal?" ”

"What else?"

The young man shook his head, signaling that he couldn't think of anything else, and the man said, "Didn't you think about it so as not to cause unnecessary panic?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Lingyuan was suddenly shocked, if he concealed it in order to avoid unnecessary panic, wouldn't it mean that the danger was still there, but the royal family was not able to solve it, so he could only hide it?

Looking at his surprised son, the middle-aged man said softly: "Do you think this may make the entire empire fall into a panic and make countless rebels and thieves excited, how many people know the inexplicable news?" ”

"Naturally, the less the better." The young man deserved, and immediately realized why his father asked this question, and said, "So the fewer people who know about such a big thing, the better, and Bai Shangshu is one of them, so his status is beyond all the high?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded, "Back to the previous topic, why did you dissuade the Junzi Mansion where you are from retaliating against Xueyu Villa?" In addition to the high status of this Bai Shangshu, what else do you think? ”

"There is also the old lady of the Zhao family, when the old lady single-handedly pushed the emperor to the throne, the status is naturally needless to say, and now two people who seem to have deviated from the court appear in the palace together, and then there is the news of the royal marriage Xueyu Villa, I think this matter is the strangest place."

The young man didn't stop and said: "According to common sense, the empire has been cutting down and suppressing the rivers and lakes family, if the eldest princess is married into such a family of rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Xueyu Villa more rights?" So I suspect that Snow Rain Villa has some weight and ability that makes the royal family have to join forces. ”

Gu Shilang nodded, and said with relief: "Yes, it's really good that you can think of these yourself." ”

"But I can't think of anything else, and I always feel like there's something missing." The youth scratched his head.

The middle-aged man looked at the courtyard of thousands of purple and red colors, "Didn't you say that the status of the old lady and the queen of the champion is not simple, so do you think the old lady will know about the loneliness of the champion Hou back then?" ”

"The old lady single-handedly pushed the emperor to the throne, and he didn't take credit for it, the emperor should respect him very much, and he should discuss such a thing."

Gu Shilang pointed out, "Yes, but you have been proving that Bai Shangshu's status is very high through various arguments, and then you say that the old lady has a high status, and the two people with high status agree to join forces with Xueyu Villa, then it must be because Xueyu Villa has any ability to make the emperor woo."

Didn't you think about it the other way around? You haven't thought about whether Xueyu Mountain Villa will be the existence that made Bai Shangshu abolish and the Tiance Divine Army disappear out of thin air? Did the royal family woo him because they were more valuable, or did they bring too much fear to the emperor? Didn't think about whether the marriage was to let them help the empire, or to prevent them from shaking the snow and rain villa to the empire? ”

"How is that possible?" Gu Lingyuan's eyes widened, it was not that he couldn't think of this truth, but he never dared to think about it in this way, it was too terrifying.

Gu Shilang smiled, "How is it impossible, let me ask you what is Lin Jinghuang's identity?" ”

"The daughter of the emperor and queen?"

"Where's the status?"

"The eldest princess of the empire?"

"What about the marriage of the eldest princess in the past dynasties?"

Gu Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know, so he shook his head, and the very handsome Gu Shilang ordered: "Go to dinner now, after eating, you will go to check how the marriage of the eldest princess of the past dynasties is, and when it comes to such issues in the future, the first thing is not to speculate, but to find out the people involved."

Only if you have all the information, then your next speculation can be accurate, secondly, you must be bold, the more unsolved the case, the more things that no one guessed, the more bold you must be, because everyone has thought about ordinary situations, and the things that everyone can think of will not become secret, and everyone can't think of it must be too wild, then you have to think more out of tune. ”

Looking at his father who was pointing at him, Gu Lingyuan nodded, and followed his father to eat, on the way, Gu Shilang suddenly turned back to the young man behind him and said, "Don't tell anyone about this matter." ”

Looking at the stunned young man, Gu Shilang said: "Eating the king's luck, the matter of loyalty to the king, this matter will damage the interests of the empire, so don't tell anyone, even if it is a provocation of Junzilou who does not know whether it is alive or dead, you don't care, even if Junzilou is dead, you don't want to talk about it everywhere, you know?" ”

Gu Lingyuan hesitated and struggled for a while, and finally nodded slowly, Gu Shilang looked at Gu Lingyuan and said: "Remember, my Gu family is not a clean family, but you can't be a traitor, you can take a good look at the matter of Xueyu Villa, it is not surprising that this giant beast wants to stand up after coming out of the mountain, so wait around waiting for people to stir up trouble and then show your strength, your gentleman's building is a stepping stone." ”

As a disciple of Junzilou, Gu Lingyuan's mind is pretending to be powerful and noble of the sect, for a while, someone told him that a force without any prestige could wrestle with Junzilou, he still didn't believe it, the reason why he went back to prevent Junzilou from colliding with Xueyu Villa was that he realized that Xueyu Villa was not weak, and he didn't want Junzilou to make enemies out of thin air, but if someone could step on Junzilou and kill him, he wouldn't believe it.

Looking at Gu Lingyuan, who still didn't dare to believe it, Gu Shilang said: "If you don't believe it, the trouble of your Junzilou will come soon, even if you don't go to him, they will find a reason to let the world know his strength, your Junzilou has been passive since the second elder who had no brains made a move, and it will definitely become a stepping stone for Xueyu Mountain Villa to become famous." ”

"I still don't believe it, if they really had that strength, they would have been famous a long time ago, what are they doing in that Qinglin City? I just want to win him over because I see that Yun Qianyu will know the Thousand Feather Divine Sword, and I don't want the sect to conflict with them, but no matter how strong the Thousand Feather Divine Sword is, I don't believe that everyone will, the only thing that Xueyu Villa can do is the person who made a big fuss in Zhennan Wangfu back then, but my Junzilou is not a vegetarian, how can it be possible to suppress us? Gu Lingyuan frowned.

Gu Shilang smiled and said no more, "I don't believe you watch." ”

Gu Lingyuan ate this meal quickly, he was in a hurry to check the information, and after eating, he hurriedly went to the library, and after searching in the library, he found some brochures that recorded the royal family, and began to inquire about the marriage of the eldest princess mentioned by his father.

As one booklet after another was picked up and put down, the young man's face became worse and worse, almost every record was the same, all the eldest princess's mansion horses were small, and the eldest princess was far less good than other princesses, or in order to keep the rights of the eldest princess from being taken away by her husband's family, the eldest princess did not marry, and only recruited sons-in-law.

The problem is obvious, this Jinghuang Emperor suddenly has signs of getting married, there can only be two explanations, or it is a greater interest, after the eldest princess marries, compared with the transfer of power, the royal family can get more things, followed by formal marriage, in order to show the importance of marriage, the princess with the highest status will naturally be sent, and the highest status is naturally the eldest princess.

Cold sweat fell on the wooden floor drop by drop, and the young man who found the book he wanted and sat on the ground to read it casually turned a little white, and finally dropped the book and ran to his father's study, which should be handled by his father in the study.

Hearing the footsteps after opening the door, Gu Shilang put down the pen in his hand, looked up slightly at the sweaty young man in front of the table and said, "Found the relevant record?" What do you think? ”

"It is recorded that the eldest princess married a small family, without any exceptions." The young man Gu Lingyuan still had a white cloth on his hand, and looked at his breezy father and spoke.

After Gu Lingyuan grew up, Gu Shilang began to try to let him think about various things in the court by himself, and the middle-aged man sitting behind the long table said to the young man: "Then what do you think of the royal family's possible exceptions this time?" ”

"Either it will be able to get more benefits after decentralization, or it will show the sincerity of the royal family." Gu Lingyuan was confident.

"What else?"

Gu Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't think of anything else, so Gu Shilang guided: "What do you think the royal family will think of this force that threatens the rule?" What will you do? ”

"Destroy it directly, if you don't have this ability, then do it little by little, first overhead or buy the inner ghost." Gu Lingyuan thought for a while and said.

The middle-aged man nodded and continued to guide: "But everyone is confused about Xueyu Villa, and they don't even know who the person who holds the power to speak inside is, how can they buy it out of the air?" ”
