Chapter 287: The Old Emperor Played a Good Hand
Guo Wentian quickly made a decision, and heard him say: "Qi'er has been staying in the house since he was injured, and he has never gone out. But on the day of the injury, it was in the Ye Mansion......"
In a word, he threw the Ye family out.
In fact, he could have thrown out a subordinate of the Guo family to apologize, but that was the fault of his Guo family, and he relied on the prince if his subordinates had problems, and Emperor Tianhe would definitely not spare the Guo family. So for the sake of equity, I had to let the Ye family top it.
The Ye family is a citizen, not an official, and when the time comes, it is just a matter of pointing at someone and cutting off his head, as long as the Guo family does not pursue it wantonly, the emperor will not ask more. After all, officials can be dismissed, but the common people are also ordinary people, and this matter may end here.
He is gambling, gambling that the emperor will not be too entangled on the day of the palace banquet, and he is also betting that the Ye family is smart enough to know how to cooperate.
Bai Heran wanted to laugh when she heard what he said, something related to poison couldn't hide it from her eyes, Guo Qi's poison was clearly hit for less than a day, at most a few hours, how could it be the Ye family's doing.
But she doesn't want to care about this matter, the Guo family and the Ye family, dog eats dog, biting one to death counts as one, she is happy to see it.
Emperor Tianhe also happened to have this idea, but on the surface, he still had to make an angry and heartbroken appearance, he told Guo Wentian: "I will definitely make the decision for you in this matter, and I will never spare the Ye family!" Guo Wentian hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister thanked the emperor, but he just ......" He paused as embarrassed, and said: "The Guo family and the Ye family are related by marriage, if this matter is really done by the Ye family, it is also ugly." The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the old minister wanted to save some face for both families
Face. So Your Majesty, do you think this matter can be handed over to the old minister to deal with? "Emperor Tianhe is almost laughing, the ugliness of the family must not be publicized? Then who are you Guo family making trouble for? can't even keep the grandson who is a little general, isn't this the ugliest thing? There is also face, and I don't look at all these things you did today, which one can be next to face
? You've already lost your face. However, he didn't expose it, just made an angry look and said: "Guo Qi is also my little general in Eastern Qin, this matter is also a state matter, and I must not let my courtiers die in vain." Although the Ye family is also considered a royal family, but because of this, I can't be tolerated, and I can't let people say that I protect my relatives.
Regardless of the life or death of the hero's family, if this word spreads, the royal face will simply be gone. "This is also an idea that Emperor Tianhe has just risen, and he wants to use this matter to strike at Empress Dowager Ye again. As the king of a country, although he is also annoyed by the old lady, it is not good to pull down his face to find trouble with the Queen Mother in person, so this incident is a good opportunity. It's Guo
The family and the Ye family provoked it, it's none of his business, the Guo family has great military merits, he just cut down the Ye family, and the Empress Dowager Ye didn't dare to say anything, otherwise it would be against the entire Eastern Qin, and the people wouldn't be able to spare her. This is the trade-off between pros and cons, of course, the Ye family can't really be cut, the Ye family will definitely launch a new scapegoat, the smallest is a minion, and the largest may be a useless nephew. Whether this matter is pursued or not is all up to him, and he can use this matter to make a deal with Empress Dowager Ye
Easy. As for what the deal is, he hasn't figured it out yet. But don't rush, take your time.
Of course, Guo Wentian understood what the old fox of Tianhe Emperor was fighting, and he was also annoyed in his heart. But the matter has come to this, and he has no other way, so he has to give thanks, thinking about getting out of the palace as soon as possible and talking to the Ye family about this matter. Emperor Tianhe waved his hand, "Okay, today's palace banquet, the case can't be tried in one day." You also have a funeral to do at home, so let's go back first, and it's only a serious matter to handle the funeral well. But ......" The old emperor changed his words, and his face turned cloudy again. "Guo Aiqing, you are saddened to lose your love for your grandson
I feel sorry for you, but if you rushed into the palace on the day of the palace banquet to slander the prince, this matter can't be left like that. If you dare to enter the palace without finding out the cause of death, the royal family is really shameless in the eyes of your Guo family. ”
Guo Wentian sighed in his heart, knowing that the Guo family would not be able to be good if he didn't express his stance on this matter. But how else can the Guo family say anything? Half of the military power is about to go, is it possible that the other half can be taken away?
Guo Wentian couldn't hold back a little, and his anger rose again, so he listened to him: "Today's matter is all the fault of the old minister, but the fourth highness also abolished the arm of my Guo family's descendants, and the old minister didn't ask the emperor to explain." "How big of a deal is that?" Emperor Tianhe waved his hand, "That's just a small punishment, it can be cured, and when the two ends are gone, let Xia Yangqiu pick it up." The dignified son doesn't even have this right anymore? But now that people are dead, they can't take it when they die, and you're too careful
In a hurry. ”
When the last sentence was spoken, everyone present was shocked, and even Bai Heran suddenly realized. It seems that compared to this old emperor who has become a fine, she is still too lazy. When she found out that Guo Qi was poisoned before, she had analyzed who would have caused the poison, because the poison was likely to come from the desert, so she naturally thought of Luo Yeren, who just happened to be in time for the poisoning to enter the capital. Luo Ye
The monarch should have no enmity with the Guo family, not only has no enmity, but there is still an interest in it. After all, if there was no implication at all, Empress Dowager Ye would not have sent Su Wanwan to Luo Ye in the first place.
Then since Luo Yeren has no reason to start, it is very likely that Su Wanwan is taking revenge. It's hard to come back, and it's unwilling not to take this opportunity to hit the opponent. The reason why Guo Qi was chosen was probably to take advantage of his illness to kill him.
This was her original idea, but now it seems that she must be wrong, and Su Wanwan will not do this, because it will implicate the four princes. Second, Su Wanwan is still powerless to protect herself, how can she still have the ability to send someone to assassinate Guo Qi. Emperor Tianhe's words made her clear, Guo Qi was not killed by the enemy, he was very likely to die at the hands of the Guo family's own people. After all, a person who has lost his arms is useless, and it is a shame for the Guo family to live, so it is better to take advantage of it, and he will be pulled on his back when he dies
The Four Princes.
She looked into the Guo family's pile again, and saw a woman quietly casting a resentful gaze on Guo Wentian. Jun Mulin whispered in her ear, "That's Guo Qi's mother." ”
She understood, Emperor Tianhe was right, not only was he right, but he also successfully dug a pit for the Guo family and planted the seeds of discord. Because the Guo family killed Guo Qi because they knew that Guo Qi had been abolished, but now Emperor Tianhe told them that people were not abolished at all, as long as the princes and princesses were angry, Xia Yangqiu would naturally take action to connect his arm again. How could Guo Qi's mother stand it now, she was just glaring resentfully at the moment
, I don't know how to toss when I get home!
She couldn't help but sigh to herself, Jiang was really still old and spicy, and Emperor Tianhe played too beautifully.
The Guo family left, because there was a big funeral, it was inconvenient to attend the palace banquet, and of course they were not in the mood to participate in the palace banquet.
At this time, it was already going to evening, and people began to enter the palace one after another. The male guests went to the Mingluan Hall to greet the emperor, and the female relatives went to the harem to greet the queen.
There are no secrets in the capital, how can the Guo family hide it if they make a big fuss, it has long been spread in the circle of powerful people. But everyone is a sensible person, and after entering the palace, everyone never mentioned this matter, and they talked happily about Tangzhou Mansion one by one, and some smart people even praised the white crane. In short, the atmosphere is harmonious, as if what just happened never happened at all, or even nothing
Someone mentioned Luo Ye's envoy a lot, after all, it was a pain in the heart of the four princes, who would want to touch this mold.
The Fourth Prince Jun Muxi was in a bad mood, although his face was still calm and light, but those who knew him understood how uncomfortable he should be at this moment. Even Hakuzuran noticed that his hand hanging down his sleeve was trembling slightly, as if suppressing great sadness.
Jun Lingxi took the initiative to chase after him, holding his arm without hesitation, "Fourth brother, I'll accompany you!" ”
The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I'm fine, I don't need your little girl to comfort me." Your fourth brother is so vulnerable, just one Guo family can knock me down? Hearing him say this, Jun Lingxi's heart became even more uncomfortable. This is to avoid the important and trivial, not to mention Su Wanwan's affairs, only to mention the Guo family. But the more this happens, the more it shows that I have that thing in my heart, and I can't let it go at all. She felt uncomfortable, she grew up with the ninth brother and the tenth brother since she was a child, but whenever she
When she was uncomfortable, the fourth brother accompanied her to boil together, and today when the fourth brother was in a bad mood, she said that she had to help the fourth brother pass this hurdle.
Jun Lingxi's arm tightened a little tighter, and the whole person was almost hanging on her fourth brother's arm. The fourth prince was very helpless, "It's all big girls, and I don't know how bad it is for people to see this person, do you want the princess's face?" ”
"What's so bad?" Jun Lingxi rolled his eyes at the boss, "You are my brother, I am your sister, what's wrong with the relationship between brother and sister?" If they don't like to see it, don't look at it, and it's up to them to criticize how the princess wants to live. ”
The fourth prince shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't say anything anymore, only let the little girl pull him forward, and he didn't know where to go. Anyway, he has nothing to do, so he doesn't ask at all, where does he go, there are palaces on the left and right, and he can still turn the sky upside down? On the other side, Jun Mulin was sending Bai Heran and Bai Zhenzhen back to Zhaoren Palace, and he told the two: "Today's palace banquet is set up in the Qianqiu Long Live Palace, which is the highest palace in the entire palace. The main hall is built directly on the top of the mountain, and the mountain is still very steep, so it is not very convenient to go up and down. But in the same way, if someone wants to escape from the Thousand Autumns Hall, it is also a big problem. There are Luo Yeren, and it will not be peaceful tonight, so you must be careful......"
