Chapter 10: King Ming

It's easy to be thankless to do good deeds, who to help and who shouldn't be, what is the character of the person you choose, and will it cause trouble for yourself?

Although Gu Huanyi is not worried about money at the moment, he can't support idlers, so he still has to pay attention to the way of employing people.

Wang Sheng had some ideas in this regard, and discussed carefully with Gu Huanyi and Song Ping for a while. After preliminarily deciding on the direction and requirements for selecting people, the three decided to wait until the defeat of the General's Mansion was settled before recruiting manpower, so as not to affect others.

After some discussion, Wang Sheng said excitedly: "Miss sent someone to tell me not to tolerate adultery, and I knew at that time that Miss was a person who wanted to do great things!" The young lady is so capable, and the general is also dumbfounded under the spring......"

Gu Huan was stunned for a moment and asked, "I...... When will someone send you a message? ”

Wang Sheng was also stunned, and said: "A few soldiers came to me before, saying that the General's Mansion had already known about Gu Hui's reselling of military funds, and asked me not to tolerate and raise traitors just because the general was gone, and the Gu family would never ask for money that had no conscience...... Isn't it the Lady Pie? ”

Gu Huanyi is a woman, even if she is an orphan of a general, how can she mobilize soldiers?

After the defeat of the Gu family's army, dozens of soldiers who stayed in the Gu Mansion also responded to the call to the army and went to the front line together with the Donglin Army that came to help.

Now in the entire Liangzhou City, there are only more than 100 black armor troops brought by Li Congxin.

Gu Huanyi was silent for a moment, and his heart was complicated.

"Those soldiers, but the accent of the capital?"

Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, changed his face, and said, "Yes...... Miss, did I fall for someone else's trick and harm the Gu family? ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head and said, "No, although I didn't know about this matter beforehand, you did the right thing." ”

If Li Congxin really tried to coax Gu Huanyi, she had to admit that this person's means were too high.

She knew that she should be wary of him, but everything he did warmed her heart and made her very useful!

She couldn't avenge her mother with her own hands, and she couldn't swallow this breath in her heart, and Li Congxin easily helped her get rid of Gu Hui.

With such means, she had to obey.

Song Ping also understood what was going on, but he didn't know that Gu Huanyi was wary of Li Congxin, so he said happily: "It must be the son of the world!" Gu Hui bullied Miss like this, how could the prince sit idly by? ”

Gu Huanyi didn't answer directly, just smiled faintly.

On the evening of the fifth day of Song's death, Gu Huanyi's little uncle, Song Zhengrui, the fourth young master of the Song family in the capital, rushed to Liangzhou.

Song is Song Zhengrui's eldest sister, twelve years older than Song Zhengrui, before she got married, the younger brother has been living in the same courtyard with her, and the relationship is very good.

Song Zhengrui cried bitterly with Gu Huanyi in front of the spirit.

After burning the paper money for a while, Song Zhengrui came to his senses and reprimanded the two Song housekeepers: "You are my eldest sister's companion, and my mother wants you to take care of my sister with all your heart, is this how you are on an errand?" Why is the funeral so simple and deserted? ”

Song Ping and Song An immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to argue.

Gu Huanyi wiped away his tears and persuaded: "Uncle Xiao borrowed a step to speak, my niece has something to discuss with you." ”

Song Zhengrui endured his anger and walked to the teahouse with Gu Huanyi, and Gu Huanyi told him everything about the past two days.

“…… The prince of Ming Wang meant that when the truth of Gu Jiajun's case was ascertained, the funeral would be reorganized. If the emperor designates Gu Jiajun as a martyr, his father, mother and brother will be posthumously sealed, and it will not be too much to do at that time; If so...... Sinner, if we have a big funeral at this time, we will end up with tongues. ”

Song Zhengrui's anger also disappeared after hearing this, and he nodded and said: "The prince of Ming is thoughtful, and I am emotional. Huan'er, where is the prince now, take me to meet him, there are many things in the future, and he needs his help. ”

Gu Huanyi couldn't hide his worry and said: "The prince has taken people to Snow Lotus Mountain, today is the third day, and there has been no news yet." ”

Song Zhengrui asked in surprise: "The prince went up the mountain himself?" ”

After his uncle asked like this, Gu Huanyi immediately realized more meanings.

The prince of Ming has a noble status, although he was appointed as a holy envoy to investigate the case, but there are so many people under his hands, what do you want to investigate, just send someone to investigate, why take the risk in person?

If he had to go in person, there were two possibilities.

First, the identity of the person investigated is valuable, and he is worried that the people below will be forced to cover it up; The second is that the matter investigated is related to him, and he must deal with it personally.

For a while, both the uncle and nephew became serious.

"Little uncle, do you know King Ming? Ming Wangfu and our family, are they friends or foes? Gu Huanyi has been thinking about this question for the past few days, and now her uncle is the only one who can help her answer.

Song Zhengrui didn't answer directly, but asked, "Huan'er, did your mother ever tell you about King Ming's marriage to a concubine?" ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head.

Mother almost didn't tell her about the outside world, she had only heard the name of Li Congxin, the son of King Ming, from her brother before, and she didn't know anything else.

Song Zhengrui said carefully with her: "King Ming is the eldest son of the first emperor, and according to the "Inheritance Code" promulgated by Emperor Yuan, it should be King Ming who inherits the throne. But because King Ming fell in love with Luo's widow, in order to marry her as his wife, King Ming voluntarily gave up the throne and gave it to the second prince, which is now the saint. How could a prince who was willing to give up the country for the sake of beauty frame the border guards? So if you want to ask about the relationship between the Ming Wangfu and the Gu family, it doesn't matter. ”

Gu Huanyi was surprised in his heart, if King Ming had not given up the throne back then, then Li Congxin would be the crown prince and the only heir to the throne.

Now that he has grown up, will he be unwilling?

If he had the wrong thoughts about the throne, would he do something rebellious?

Thinking of this, Gu Huanyi asked his uncle: "King Ming may not, what about the prince of Ming?" Will he have a plan of his own? ”

Song Zhengrui did not make up his mind, but said: "The prince of Ming is also a little special. Four years ago, King Yi's rebellion failed, and the emperor ordered the princes to send their sons to the capital for further study, but in fact, as a proton, the prince of Ming was sent to Beijing at that time. The princes of all families were trembling in the capital, but he was very loved by the emperor, making the emperor treat him like a prince. What is the reason for this, our family does not know. As for his position and thoughts, it is still a little difficult to guess. Just looking at the errands he has done in the past two years, they are all dedicated to the public and loyal to the emperor. ”

Gu Huanyi's heart calmed down a little, and said, "If he can really serve the public wholeheartedly, I don't have to suspect that he framed our family." ”

Song Zhengrui nodded and said: "Huan'er don't have to be afraid, the Gu family's affairs, the Song family is also trying to find a way in the capital, and the Gu family will definitely be fair." Now although you are the only one left in the Gu family, you still have relatives, and the Song family will not ignore you. ”

When Gu Huanyi heard this, the boulder in his heart fell to the ground. It's not that she hasn't been worried, maybe the Song family is afraid of getting into trouble and will draw a line with the Gu family, but now it seems that she is too worried.

"Uncle!" Gu Huanyi threw himself into the forest like a young bird, threw himself into Song Zhengrui's arms, and cried happily.
