Chapter 161: Disposition

In the prison, Chen Jidao scolded Gu Du, Gu Du ignored him, beckoned, and the palace guards brought Chen Jidao's family to the prison door.

Chen Jidao scolded: "Traitor! It was I who poisoned the demon queen, and I have nothing to do with my family, I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor! ”

Gu Du looked at him, neither spoke nor ordered anyone to move, just looked at him expressionlessly.

Chen Jidao scolded for a while, his strength couldn't keep up, and Gu Du looked at him with a calm face like a plague god, this powerful sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, and Chen Jidao became more and more frightened in his heart.

Seeing that he stopped, Gu Ducai asked in a flat tone, "What heinous things did I do with Empress Xia?" ”

Chen Jidao looked at him, unable to answer, but with a generous and indignant expression on his face.

Gu Du said again: "Zhan Lan City, defend the imperial city, inherit the ancestors for the emperor, Xia Hougong is in Sheji, and benefit the people, why do you want to poison her?" ”

Chen Jidao said: "She dominates the harem and bullies the emperor. ”

Gu Du said: "The emperor has a will, and he will choose concubines and enrich the harem in the near future." ”

Chen Jidao was stunned, Gu Du said again: "The emperor is also a human being, and he also has his own preferences, and it is not uncommon to see three thousand favors in one body, forcing the emperor to choose concubines, so that those women are being left out in the cold, you are actually creating evil, if you let these women marry good people, have more children, and fight for the country, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Chen Jidao blinked his eyes, pointed at Gu Du and shouted, "You have the right to take over the army!" ”

Gu Du said: "There must always be someone who has the power to control the army, not me, but also someone else, do you want the emperor to take charge of every battle?" If I want to kill the king, do I need to spend all this time? With the skills of my brother and sister, it is not easy to kill the Spirit Emperor, but it is easy to kill Emperor Ze. ”

Chen Jidao gritted his teeth and said: "Of course you won't kill the king, you want to support the crown prince to usurp the throne!" ”

Gu Du said: "The prince is also a descendant of the royal family, even if the prince is established, Zeguo is not my Gu Du, besides, if you want to fight the spirit country, you need the world to return to the heart, what good will it do me to harm the emperor at this time?" If the three armies will still listen to me, why don't I let the emperor cede the throne to me, wouldn't it be more convenient? ”

Chen Jidao blinked his eyes uneasily, and Gu Du said: "You are a doctor, you should have saved the dead and helped the wounded, but you did the assassination, are you worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth?" ”

Chen Jidao shouted: "I am for the emperor!" For Zeguo! ”

Gu Du asked, "Then have you asked the emperor if he is willing to let you do this?" ”

Chen Jidao shouted: "You brothers and sisters bully the emperor, as a minister, how can I sit idly by? ”

Gu Du smiled and said, "When did you see with your own eyes that my brother and sister bullied the emperor?" Based on your own guess, you will make decisions for the emperor, and you will condemn my brother and sister as traitors, who do you think you are? ”

Chen Jidao gritted his teeth, but he no longer spoke, nor did he stare at Gu Du anymore.

Gu Du said: "I know that you and He Xuzhuo are in-laws, and I also know that on the night that Xia Hou gave birth to the prince, you went to Hefu, I will not torture you, nor will I use your family to coerce you, I brought your family here, I just want to tell you what I want to do." ”

After a pause, Gu Du said: "If you did the poisoning alone, then He Xuzhuo's family doesn't have to die, but because you are in-laws, you also have to sit together." If he instructed you to poison you, as long as you identify him, I will go to the emperor, pardon your family, give you a day to think about it, and I will come again tomorrow at this time, and you will give me an answer. ”

Leaving the prison, Gu Du took the palace guards to He Mansion, the same words, Gu Du questioned He Xuzhuo, and he was speechless, Gu Du said: "If you instructed Chen Jidao, you had better excuse yourself, I can give you and your family a good time, and leave a blood for your family." ”

After a pause, Gu Du said again: "Of course, you can also deny it, and expect that Chen Jidao will not confess you, but even so, Chen Jidao's family will die, and your He family will also sit together, the man will serve in front of the army, and the woman will serve as a camp prostitute." ”

He Xu reprimanded: "He and I are just in-laws, not the Nine Clans, why should we sit together?" ”

Gu Du replied: "I said sit and sit together, do you think that if something like this happens, I will let your family go?" I can leave a bloodline for your family, because you have no merit and hard work over the years, if you don't appreciate it, I am happy to cut down your He family to the roots. ”

He Xuzhuo looked at Gu Du, and only asked after a while: "Tell me the truth, will you seek to usurp the throne?" ”

Gu Du replied: "It is the emperor who is the heart of the world, not me Gu Du, besides, what's the good of being the emperor?" All day long to be talked about by so-called loyal servants like you, and to do things that you didn't want to do. ”

He Xu looked at him steadily, and then asked, "If I confess, can you let Chen Jidao go?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Whether you admit guilt or not, Chen Jidao must be torn apart, and only his family can be saved, but he will also be demoted to a commoner, and he will not be allowed to enter the office within three generations." ”

He Xuzhuo gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you so vicious?" ”

Gu Du replied: "The Spirit Emperor forced Jin Lan to death, I want to destroy his country, you want to kill Li Xia, I just dealt with your two families, I am already very kind, you should be glad that Li Xia is now the queen, otherwise you have done this kind of thing, I may not know what to do." ”

Three days later, He Xuzhuo and Chen Jidao were split, and more than 100 members of the He family, except for the youngest grandson He Yingruo, were beheaded to show the public.

This incident shocked the government and the opposition, after all, He Xuzhuo was an old minister of the Three Dynasties and the head of the former Secretary for Civil Affairs.

In the palace, Lixia asked Emperor Ze: "Have you figured it out now?" ”

Zedi nodded and replied, "I figured it out, Uncle Guo handled it better than me." ”

Lixia said: "After all, he is your subordinate, and he will be your subordinate in this life." ”

Emperor Ze said with some twist: "I asked Uncle Guo, and he said that I should choose a few fewer concubines, saying too much is useless, it is hard and easy to resent, and leaving Fanghua women in others, and having many children to fight for the country, that ...... Shall I just pick two? ”

Rexia asked with a smile, "There's still some joy in your heart, right?" ”

Zedi hurriedly denied: "No! ”

Rexia sneered, "Don't tell the truth. ”

Emperor Ze blushed a little, held Lixia's hand and said, "Lady, you can choose for me." ”

Lixia rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care, I choose myself, I can choose whatever I like." ”

Emperor Ze said in a low voice: "That's not good, according to the etiquette law, you have to look at the family background first." ”

Lixia said: "What family background? I, the queen, was born in the common people, after He Xuzhuo's incident, who would dare to disobey the emperor? You still don't understand, my brother dealt with He Xuzhuo according to the law, and he still left a face, in fact, he was giving you the authority of the emperor, otherwise, with his temperament, he would definitely carry a knife to kill the He family. ”
