Chapter 203: The Dusty Truth
On the other hand, under the hurried rush of the messenger of the stacked twin buildings, the letter successfully reached Makikawa's hands the next day.
"Lord Makikawa, this is a letter brought from the capital by someone."
"My letter?" Makikawa walked over and took the letter, only to see that he was shocked by the contents of the letter.
I saw that the letter said that the child was in the other party's hands, and even wrote about Gu Miaoxuan's abuse of the child, which made Mu Chuan feel very shocked.
However, the letter was written very tactfully, saying that it was a family who fostered the child in the capital, so please don't worry.
Putting down the letter, Makikawa was a little puzzled, who took the child away? And what is the purpose of doing this?
Now it seems that the child is safe, and when he left, he understood that Gu Miaoxuan would not treat the child well, so he now hopes that the other party can treat his child well.
"General, what do we do now? Do you still keep fighting? A general suddenly asked.
"I'm a little uncomfortable, let's keep the war-free card hanging." After saying that, he went back to his room to rest.
On the other hand, since the emperor last saw King Xiang, he has been recuperating in King Xiang's Mansion since then, and seeing him terminally ill makes the emperor a little anxious.
In the ensuing battle report, because Makikawa used illness as an excuse, the emperor thought that Makikawa was worried about the lack of troops, and then summoned King Xiang.
When the father-in-law came to the Xiangwang Mansion, Gu Xiqian put on a mask to deal with it, but the father-in-law's attitude was relatively tough, and the gentleman took out the emperor to pressure him, so that he had no choice.
"What do you say? The emperor actually wants to summon me into the palace? King Xiang asked something else.
The father-in-law said politely: "Don't worry, Lord Xiang, the emperor is just summoning, presumably it is also King Xiang's illness, and he entered the palace with the slaves." ”
The two glanced at each other, there was no way, since the emperor called it, it was natural not to go.
Worried that the face mask would be seen through, Gu Xiqian changed the face mask slightly, and then entered the palace with King Xiang.
In the palace, the emperor arranged a tea party in the imperial garden, and saw King Xiang walk in with Gu Xiqian.
"Attend the Emperor." King Xiang knelt down and said.
The emperor waved his hand and said: "King Xiang is seriously ill, so this etiquette is not necessary." As he spoke, he was interested in Gu Xiqian behind King Xiang.
I saw Gu Xiqian, who was wearing a human face mask, looking like a male entourage, which made the emperor vigilant.
"King Xiang, who is this person?"
King Xiang then explained: "Your Majesty, this person is an entourage I invited when I was recuperating in Sichuan, because my family is not familiar with the environment in Sichuan, so I found a guide, and I looked honest, so I brought him back to serve. ”
When the emperor saw that the other party was dressed like a commoner, he didn't take it to heart and beckoned King Xiang to sit down.
"King Xiang, it's been a long time since I've been in the capital, I don't know how I've been doing lately?" The emperor poured tea and asked politely.
"Back to the emperor, the minister has entered the twilight of his life, and his health is not as good as before, and now the limit has come, and his empty life is not long." King Xiang replied calmly.
After hearing this, the emperor was also a little puzzled, as if there was no such person who would say that his life was short, and it seemed that King Xiang also looked down on life and death.
Gu Xiqian on the side, watching the two of them reminisce, was nothing more than talking about some of the previous words, as well as what had happened recently, although the tone of the two was very flat when they talked, but they felt that the two were vaguely hinting at something.
"King Xiang, what do you think about the current war between Yunnan and Nanyue?" The emperor suddenly changed his tone and asked.
This question made the two of them also stunned, as if they didn't expect the emperor to ask this question.
King Xiang paused: "Ahem... Your Majesty, although the people of Nanyue are strong and strong, but Yunnan is known as a country on horseback, and the cavalry of the other side is famous all over the world. ”
Listening to the expected answer, the emperor's eyes looked at Gu Xiqian, who was pretending to be an entourage at this time: "I don't know what this little brother thinks?" ”
Gu Xiqian was also stunned, why did she come to her body while talking?
"Uh... I want the world to be peaceful, I don't think much of the rest, I don't know how to read, and I don't know what to say. Gu Xiqian said embarrassedly.
Listening to the other party's words, the emperor withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with King Xiang.
"I don't know King Xiang, can you go up and say a few nice words to cheer up the army?" The emperor suddenly asked.
King Xiang sighed, "The minister knows that time is short, and it is also an honor for the minister to be able to share the emperor's worries in the end." ”
The emperor immediately laughed, and entertained King Xiang well.
When he arrived at King Xiang's Mansion, King Xiang sat outside, his face seemed to be a lot soothed, and he seemed to be relieved.
"Dad, why did you promise the emperor?" Gu Xiqian asked puzzled.
"All along, I have been wondering why I worked so hard to find an opportunity, kept investigating, and finally found that the opportunity came so suddenly, which is simply an irony of my life's efforts." King Xiang said.
Gu Xiqian sat down, understanding that King Xiang was doing it on purpose, and he seemed to have an idea.
"Xiqian, since you are still alive, you should return to Yunnan Kingdom, as for the child, you should hand it over to Diehuanglou." King Xiang sighed.
"Dad, how do you know? What about stacking twin floors? Gu Xiqian said in surprise.
It turned out that when Gu Xiqian borrowed money from him to build a stacked double building, he began to suspect that it was related to Gu Xiqian, and in the following time, Gu Xiqian was always one step ahead, and it was obvious that someone was secretly helping.
"You think I really don't know anything?" King Xiang said with a smile.
"Dad, you better leave with me, Yunnan has a miracle doctor Qi Lan, she will definitely be able to help you!" Gu Xiqian said excitedly.
At this time, Liu Zhi came over with the medicine: "County Lord, you still have to die, now King Xiang's body is no longer able to return to the sky, these medicines are just barely maintaining King Xiang's life, and King Xiang can no longer accept the fatigue of the boat, you start to relax." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiqian's mood was a little lost, although she still chose to ignore this fact in the past few days.
King Xiang sighed. "Looking at the sunset like this now, I think of the days when I struggled with the previous king, and now I am also at sunset, remembering the last thing that the first king told me, but I still didn't do it, and now it seems that it also gave me a chance to make up for it."
After drinking the medicine, Gu Xiqian immediately instructed Liu Zhi to prepare the prescription, and then thought about leaving with King Xiang.
However, at this time, King Xiang calmly poured tea for her to drink, Gu Xiqian didn't think too much, until after she drank it, everything in front of her began to blur.
"Dad, you are..." Before the words were finished, Gu Xiqian fainted.
King Xiang looked at Liu Zhi, "Imperial Doctor Liu, the next thing will be troublesome for you." ”
"Lord Xiangwang, rest assured, I will definitely send the county lord out of Yunnan safely."
After explaining everything, King Xiang looked at the sunset and smiled.
"In this way, the explanation of the former king is completed."
In the evening, after watching the people in the Shuanglou Stacked Buildings send Gu Xiqian away, the two of them also drank a pot in the house, and King Xiang at this time did not seem to be sick before, but was more relaxed, drinking wine with Liu Zhi.
The next day, the emperor sent someone to take King Xiang into the palace, and the emperor asked him to express his opinion in front of the army.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Nanyue Kingdom, I, King Xiang Gu Che, will talk about one thing today, that is, Prince Duan Gu Feng is an out-and-out tyrant!" King Xiang's emotions began to get excited, and even the last sentence was almost as excited as shouting.
The people in the audience suddenly looked puzzled, and even the emperor began to be unable to sit still.
"Back then, in order to snatch the throne, Prince Duan did not hesitate to send someone to secretly murder the first king, and even sent someone to assassinate his family, even other relatives..."
Then King Xiang said about the former prince, not only how to frame the former king, but even how to squeeze the vassal state.
The audience was silent for a moment, listening carefully to every word that King Xiang said.
"What is he doing here? Take him away for me! The emperor said excitedly to the people around him.
Just as King Xiang continued, the soldiers on the side took him away, but he used his last strength to break away from the soldiers and said the last sentence, "Prince Duan, you are plotting to usurp the throne, persecute your siblings, squeeze your allies, and oppress the people, and you are doomed to a bad death!" ”
As the last sentence was finished, King Xiang felt a stagnation in his chest, and when he vomited blood, he fell to the ground, out of breath.
These words made the ministers in the audience question the emperor one after another.
"Your Majesty, is what King Xiang said true?"
"Your Majesty, what happened back then?"
In the face of those people's questions, the emperor shouted, "These are all nonsense from King Xiang, don't you want to believe me?" ”
After that, the matter of King Xiang spread in Nanyue, and after continuous circulation, even Yunnan, Yan and other small countries received the news, and riots began in Nanyue, and they all wanted to overthrow Prince Duan.
However, at this time, I saw Gu Xiqian, who had just come out of the border, woke up, and heard a lot of news about King Xiang along the way, and immediately cried.
"Coachman, please turn around, we have to go back to South Vietnam!"
The coachman explained helplessly: "County Lord, we also took King Xiang's words to bring you to Yunnan safely, can you respect King Xiang's final explanation?" ”
Gu Xiqian sat in the carriage, picked up his baggage, and saw what King Xiang had prepared for himself inside.
There are not only a large number of silver tickets, but also many most important land deeds, as well as a letter left by King Xiang.
The content roughly writes that King Xiang left him almost all his savings, and the things that the former king explained back then were to protect her, but now he is no longer good, and these things hope to be useful to her.
Seeing this, Gu Xiqian hugged her burden tightly and cried silently.
