Chapter 468: The Lost Danshu Iron Coupon
A few days later, rumors spread in the capital that Gu Hou's Mansion had lost the Danshu iron coupon. The rumors became more and more intense, and they also made trouble in the court.
"Danshu Iron Coupon" is a special certificate awarded to meritorious heroes after Jing Gaozu conquered the world. The Guogong Mansion, the Hou Mansion, and a few Bofu have this thing. It symbolizes the honor of a family, and can also be used as a "gold medal for avoiding death" at a critical moment to save the family's life.
Gu Houfu lost such an important thing, it was a great crime of disrespect to despise Gao Zu. Someone in the court questioned and asked to find out whether the Danshu Iron Coupon of Gu Hou's Mansion was still there.
After listening to the remarks of the ministers below, Jing Lin wondered who released the news, but he didn't do it anyway. "Recruit Gu Hou Ye Gu Heng into the palace to explain this matter." This kind of thing still has to ask the person concerned.
After Gu Heng received the edict, he changed into official clothes and sat in a carriage to enter the palace. Gu Heng remembered the conversation with Gu Jue Jing Yuzhao last night in his mind.
Last night, they had already analyzed the matter.
This handle has always been in the hands of Forget Chen, and after Forget Dust died, the Danshu Iron Coupon was not found, so it was likely to be in the hands of the Shadow Lord. In the past, Gu Heng was threatened by the shadow lord a lot, but now, he has completely fallen out with the shadow master, and this day will always come.
Jing Yuzhao's suggestion to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle makes everything more confusing. Dead people are the best excuse. The Danshu iron coupon, granted by the emperor, can only be taken back by the emperor.
Gu Heng took out a small box from his sleeve, and there were two small rings in it. At the beginning, Princess Anqing threw a ring out, and he found it. Later, he exchanged the talisman and Princess Anqing for another ring.
Gu Heng put the two rings in his heart: Fanwen, look, I got the ring.
Gu Heng put away the ring and smiled. He was no longer afraid of anything, because he knew that neither the people around him nor the people behind him were afraid.
When the palace gate arrived, Gu Heng walked into the palace.
In the imperial study, Jing Lin and the three auxiliary ministers were there.
"Minister Gu Heng, I've seen the regent."
"Master Hou is exempt." Jing Lin gave Gu Heng a seat. "Today's invitation to the marquis into the palace is because of rumors. This king wants to know, is the Danshu Iron Coupon of Gu Hou Mansion still in Gu Hou Mansion? ”
"The Lord Regent, he's gone." Gu Heng's words stirred up a thousand waves. They thought that Gu Heng would say that everything outside was nonsense, but they didn't expect Gu Heng to directly say no.
"Master Hou knows that it is a gift from the ancestors, and it cannot be lost." Jing Lin didn't know what this Gu Heng meant.
"Although the Danshu Iron Coupon is not in the Hou Mansion, it has not been lost. In that year, the minister returned the Danshu iron coupon to Emperor Taizong to show his loyalty. "Emperor Taizong, since you have made so many troubles because of a woman, let's pour some dirty water on you.
With a snap, Jing Lin picked up the fold and threw it on the table. "Gu Houye, you have to give evidence when you speak."
Gu Heng was not afraid, raised his head and looked directly into Jing Lin's eyes. The minister did not tell a lie. At the beginning, Emperor Taizong was afraid of the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, and he has always excluded us. In order to survive, we make different choices. Ben Hou handed over the Danshu iron coupons, but Sima Fu chose another way. Now it seems that this king has chosen the right one. "The people in power are afraid of the powerful and have been trying to weaken their power.
Liu Che lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. This kind of imperial technique is said so arrogantly, it is too rebellious. It was the regent who was sitting there and was not the emperor, if it was the emperor, I was afraid that Gu Heng would have been dragged out and beheaded.
"Gu Houye said so, is there any evidence?" Jing Lin wouldn't believe Gu Heng just because of his words.
"If the minister had the Danshu iron coupon, he would not have listened to the threat of forgetting dust to kill his own son with a clear conscience." Gu Heng turned out the ruthless things he had done back then. Speaking of which, this matter has always been a mystery. There are many speculations out there, but none of them are reasonable.
"That Hou Ye means that the Danshu iron coupon is in Wangchen, but Wuchen is dead." Jing Lin felt that he had neglected something at the beginning.
"It's like dead. However, the minister was at the border at the time and did not know about this matter, and he was only relieved to receive the news at that time. ”
After Gu Heng finished speaking, Jing Lin thought of Jing Yuzhao, it must have been what Jing Yuzhao did to forget Chen. But Yuzhao shouldn't have turned this matter over and attacked Gu Heng. Although Jing Lin also intervened in the matter of forgetting the dust at that time, many secrets were done by Jing Yuzhao and Jing Zhen at that time, and now Jing Zhen is dead, only Jing Yuzhao knows.
"This king is sure that the Danshu Iron Coupon of Gu Hou's Mansion is not in the palace. Something so important should not be left out. Gu Houye, as the party concerned, this task falls on you. Pay off Hou Ye and act as soon as possible to retrieve the Danshu iron coupon. Jing Lin said.
"Obey." Gu Heng saluted Jinglin.
"Of course, if you find it back, Master Hou needs to hand over the Danshu Iron Coupon, if you can't find it......" Jing Lin looked at Gu Heng who was kneeling on the ground, and the following words were not spoken.
"I understand. If the Danshu iron coupon can't be recovered, Gu is willing to accept the punishment. "It's time for something that has dragged on for so long.
After Jing Lin asked Gu Heng to leave the palace, he immediately sent someone to investigate the matter of forgetting the dust back then. He was also involved in the matter at the beginning, but he didn't know much, so he had to ask Jing Mingxin carefully.
On the other side, Jingyu Zhao and Hanyue are in the Xiaoyao Palace. Jing Yanhua on the opposite side kept tinkering with two signs, but he didn't get a result.
"I am, it's going to be spring, and you haven't solved the puzzle yet. If you drag it out any longer, everyone's lives will be dragged to death by you. Jing Yuzhao is in a hurry, the other party will not give them mercy time, but will press step by step.
"Could it be that King Gangneung wants two people to restrain the Shadow Lord?" Jing Yanhua guessed.
"No, it won't." Although Jing Yuzhao had never seen King Jiangling, he felt that King Jiangling was a free and straightforward person, not the kind of person who had a lot of thoughts.
"Then why are there two signs?" Jing Yanhua has never been able to figure it out.
"Was this sign personally delivered to your grandfather by King Gangneung, or was it sent by someone?"
"yes, that's it." Jing Yanhua woke up suddenly. "At the beginning, King Gangneung was a letter from someone and a token brought by someone."
"Someone in the middle got double-hearted." Jing Yuzhao said.
"Yes, it's likely that someone found out about this and made trouble in the middle." So the token that came to his hand was not a complete token.
"But why didn't the other party take everything away and tear up the letter?" Jing Yuzhao questioned. The shadow lord is very decisive, and he will definitely smooth out the traces directly, so that the king of Pingzhang doesn't know anything and can't get anything.
"Maybe something went wrong. The token in your hand was obtained from the hands of the dark night, and the Emperor knew of its existence. It is likely that this token was fought over in the middle, and passed through the hands of several people. Jing Yanhua guessed.
