Chapter 242: Ge Shiyuan and his people
"You don't need to remind me like this, I know that my surname is Ge, and I accompany the descendants of the Ge family. I hope you can understand that I would rather ruin my marriage and devote myself to serving the emperor. ”
"I will never question your loyalty to the first emperor, but what about you?"
Ge Shiyuan has never been a good man, and the words "brave and loyal" have little fate with him. In the past, when the first emperor was in power, he hid a little awe in his heart after all, but now the new emperor is just a young man who has no great power, how can he not have a little change?
"Since I promised him to be a secret son in Qinzhou, then I will always remember the original promise, you don't always have to be suspicious, we still have to have trust between us after all, right?"
His faint voice was mixed with a lot of evil laughter, but it was precisely because of this smile that Commander Zhou was a little worried, and he didn't know if he should believe his words.
"I have cultivated Gu Liansheng for many years, and Zhou Xia has trusted him very much, and he is enough to take the lead over the years."
Ge Shiyuan didn't deal with his critical eyes, but talked about Gu Liansheng, a person who needed Gu Mingsheng's support. In fact, without Gu Mingsheng's support, he should have walked very smoothly, but too flat would make people suspicious, so Gu Mingsheng is the whetstone on his way to promotion, only in this way Zhou Xia's suspicious temperament will not be good.
"Hopefully, as you say, we can't afford to fail."
Commander Zhou told the truth, although he was entrusted by the first emperor to protect the current King Jin, there are many people in the court, but there are very few henchmen that the emperor can trust, so he was still pulled into the chariot after all.
"I understand." Ge Shiyuan paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "I heard that Ge Jiaxu has no whereabouts so far?" ”
He wasn't very familiar with his nephew, who had been away from home for years. These years are far away in Qinzhou, and he has always warned himself to forget these fantasies that he shouldn't have, but even after so many years, his heart is still slightly dull when he thinks of his loved ones.
"The imperial court also sent people to search, but there were no clues at all."
The disappearance of the second son of the Ge family is like a fog, although the journey from the capital to Jizhou was not very dull, and there were even a lot of sieges, but the Ge family and his party were unusually smooth, but they lost the second son of the house on the way.
disappeared without any trace, only to hear the little maid say that the second son just shouted for help, and the figure disappeared into the night without a trace.
In this world, it is not excluded that those capable people who come and go without a trace, but why would someone with such ability kidnap the second son of the Ge family, who is not very good? It is said that the second son is a nerd, and I don't know if it's true or not.
Ge Shiyuan was obviously not very satisfied with his words, and his brows couldn't help but tighten. Before that person sent him to Qinzhou, he swore to protect the Ge family, but now the Ge family still had an accident.
"You should also know that if it weren't for His Majesty's protection, the people of the Ge family might not be able to get out of the way."
The first emperor is a rare and eloquent master, and even if the things he promised are difficult, he will think of ways to implement them, so he divided the Ge family soldiers into two ways at the beginning, so that even if something happens, he will not be wiped out.
- At the beginning, in addition to those big families and the imperial court, the only people who deserved his attention were the Ge family. This kind of waiting is not because the Ge family has no choice but to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but because of the person in front of him.
"Sounds like I'm pretty big." Ge Shiyuan squinted his eyes and sneered lightly, but he knew that this was not the time to say this, so he frowned and said, "I won't ruin the promise I made to him at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't do my best to cultivate Gu Liansheng." ”
His faint voice made Commander Zhou's eyes shrink slightly, but the latter's subtle movements did not escape Ge Shiyuan's eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Do you really think I'm stupid?" The reason why the first emperor sent Gu Liansheng here was that he was not very at ease with me. ”
Gu Liansheng's life can be said to be simple and can't find any fault, he is still a native of Qinzhou, and this so-called local situation is not easy to doubt, even Zhou Xia has never doubted Gu Liansheng.
But he is different, he knows too well the man's style of acting, when Gu Liansheng appeared, he already knew that he also had to be a foil, but he had no dissatisfaction over the years, and even helped him to his current position little by little.
Otherwise, with his small soldier without any background, he could get to where he is today?
"Imperial power, it's also very difficult for him."
The first emperor didn't want to doubt it, but he didn't want to live too passively, so when he learned that Gu Mingsheng had an accident, he had already chosen Gu Liansheng, but what made people feel unbelievable was that Gu Mingsheng was still alive.
According to common sense, Gu Mingsheng is still the first choice of the first emperor, after all, Gu Liansheng's background is still too shallow, but who made Gu Liansheng arouse Zhou Xia's suspicions? So in this fight without fighting, he was destined to be a pedal.
"It's just a liar."
Ge Shiyuan's words, Commander Zhou, had no way to pick up the stubble, after all, the reason why he joined the first emperor's shares was also because the first emperor deceived him, but who would have thought that he would actually come to this day for a cheating game.
"I can't stay here for long, Gu Mingsheng's side will be the last to know, if he doesn't have any intention of giving in, then I will use my own means."
Ge Shiyuan had a bit of a murderous aura on his body, and although Commander Zhou still wanted to admonish him, he also knew his temperament, and only after a while did he say, "Don't make trouble." ”
"I'm not stupid, I'm just trying to scare him."
He didn't even think about doing it, because he knew that Gu Mingsheng attached great importance to those children, and as for why he didn't worry about Gu Mingsheng going to Zhou Xia to expose himself, it was because he expected that he wouldn't dare.
Although it is said that the dynasty is in decline, the person sitting on the dragon chair in the palace is the heir of the first emperor after all, so he does not dare to take this so-called secret to Gaomi, otherwise he may not be able to protect the family full of people.
In fact, just as Ge Shiyuan expected, Gu Mingsheng was really angry in his heart when he heard that he was being used as a whetstone, but after calming down carefully, he felt that it was nothing, and now that he had exposed his identity, it was indeed very difficult to do things.
Not many people know about the situation within the Qin army, but the matter of the Cao family marrying Princess Ruyi was put on the agenda, and just after the New Year's Festival, the invitation of the Cao family to marry Princess Ruyi fell on Jizhou like snowflakes.
