Chapter 278: The Struggle for Military Power (19)
After listening to Gu Panxi and Shi Feiqing's narration, Shi Feizheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
Gu Panxi was surprised, and said sarcastically: "The eldest prince is open-minded, you can still laugh in this situation - what do you think is funny?" ”
Shi Feizheng shook his head and said, "The fifth brother and sister misunderstood someone. The reason why someone laughed was because he found that there was no endless way, and he actually came up with the last way for the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister. ”
"Last resort?!"
Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were both in high spirits, and they exclaimed in surprise, turning their heads and staring at Shi Feizheng.
Shi Feizheng nodded and said: "The fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister want to clear this crime of bullying, it is difficult to say, but it is also simple to say - as long as the old general is willing to take all the responsibility on himself, the matter will be over." Even if the father has the heart to punish the two of you, there is no way to take it seriously. ”
"What?"
Gu Panxi didn't understand what Shi Feizheng meant at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that Shi Feizheng was referring to what he was talking about.
"Eldest prince, do you mean to ask Concubine Ben to persuade the old general and ask him to ask the emperor to plead guilty, saying that the reason why the prince and the concubine covered up the truth of the turmoil in the Zhao Palace, fabricated a fact out of thin air, and it was not the will of the prince and the concubine themselves, but the idea of the old general?"
"To be exact,"
Shi Feizheng immediately picked up the conversation and corrected, "It's not the old general's idea. If you only say that it is the old general's idea, the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister, you will still be chased for the crime of being an accomplice. You can only let the old general confess, it is he who uses the sword of military power in his hand to force the two of you to obey him and cooperate with him, only in this way, you have suddenly become a victim from the main culprit. At that time, even if the emperor doesn't believe it in his heart, he can't help the two of you. ”
“……”
Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were dumbfounded when they heard this, and fell into a shocking silence.
This method, indeed, is a viable one!
It's just that......
Gu Panxi shook his head and said firmly: "No." Concubine Ben couldn't do that. The concubine believes that the prince will definitely not approve of this practice. ”
Shi Feiqing replied categorically: "This king will definitely not do such a ruthless and unrighteous thing!" ”
Shi Feizheng looked at Gu Panxi, then at Shi Feiqing, smiled, and said: "Fifth brother, fifth brother and sister, the matter has come to this, do you still have to hold this senseless false Qinggao and the benevolence of a woman?" Just think about it, the emperor has long had the intention of depriving the old general of his military power, and what Di Yunlong is committing now is another big crime of attempted rebellion. This is a great sin of the Nine Clans! At this point, why not bear another charge of holding you hostage for perjury? Taking a step back, with the old general's great military exploits, his father hated him very much in his heart, and he could only spare him from death. In other words, getting the old general to talk back is a way to only make money and not lose money. Fifth brother, fifth brother and sister, why should you worry too much and tie your hands and feet? ”
"No way!"
Gu Panxi did not hesitate and refused categorically.
"Eldest Prince, your calculations are wonderful and reasonable. But with all due respect, it's not that this concubine can't figure out these joints. It's just that even if she figured it out and understood the pros and cons, Concubine Ben couldn't do it. ”
"Why?" Shi Feizheng was deeply puzzled, "Princess, someone has always thought that you are not such a pedantic person. ”
"This is not pedantic, this is the bottom line of being a human being!"
Gu Panxi stomped his foot and said angrily: "Eldest prince, this concubine is indeed good at calculation, and always plays some tricks of deceit, but that is based on repaying grievances directly. The queen and the princess are going to harm the concubine and the prince, and the concubine will return it a hundred times, which is reasonable. But the old general, the old general has a lot of heart for the prince and the concubine, how can the concubine still fall into the trap at such a time? The old general is a human being, a good man, an upright man, not a pawn, and should not be treated as a pawn that can be discarded! ”
Shi Feizheng was stunned for a moment, although he was still unconvinced, but he understood that it would be useless for him to continue arguing with Gu Panxi, so he could only sigh and say with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be impatient, princess." When someone took it. The princess is indeed an immortal heroine! ”
Gu Panxi couldn't tell whether this was a compliment or sarcasm, so he snorted coldly, so he didn't turn his head away and stopped talking.
Far away, Shi Feiqing applauded for Gu Panxi wordlessly.
This is not only appreciation, but also support, but also admiration.
Gu Panxi felt that his heart warmed, and the anger aroused by Shi Feizheng's ruthless remarks was somewhat calmed down.
Shi Feizheng laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then we can only resign ourselves to fate." But Princess, you made a choice that you think is right, and the old general may also make a choice that you think is right. ”
Gu Panxi gritted his teeth and didn't answer.
After that, there was a long silence, until night fell, and the moonlight shone through the skylight of the prison, illuminating a corner of Gu Panxi's cell.
This sporadic light can be regarded as a trace of comfort for Gu Panxi at this moment. She poked her head into the moonlight, closed her eyes slightly, felt the caress from the sky, and tried to suppress the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart.
Outside, it was so quiet, unusually quiet.
Gu Panxi knows very well that behind this quietness is a real huge turmoil. But now trapped in the prison, she can't do anything, she can't do anything, she can't do anything, she can only wait for the final result to come to her head.
Even if there is a system, even if the mechanism is exhausted, it is not invincible. Gu Panxi has learned this lesson now, and I don't know if it's too late.
Just as Gu Panxi was thinking wildly, she only felt that it was dark in front of her, as if the moonlight had moved elsewhere. She opened her eyes anxiously, trying to find where the moonlight was, but found that what was covering her eyes and blocking the moonlight was a shadow.
A hand shadow.
Gu Panxi was stunned for a moment, looking along the path of the moonlight, and just as he saw Shi Feiqing raising his right hand and blocking his right hand between the moonlight.
Gu Panxi immediately understood that this was a way that Shi Feiqing, who was closely guarded by the heavenly jailer and could not express the love in his heart in words, under the obstruction of Shi Feidu. He cast his hand shadow on Gu Panxi by moonlight, in order to let Gu Panxi feel the warmth of his palm in the air.
Gu Panxi snorted and laughed.
Fool.
She slowly raised her hands and held her pretty face, or rather, the hand shadow of Shi Feiqing who was caressing her face.
The two were silent, using light and shadow to convey affection, and their hearts gradually warmed up, and in this cold prison cell, they finally regained their former vitality.
Gu Panxi and Shi Feiqing didn't know that at this moment, the people who were fighting against the army of God were not only their husband and wife.
"Di Danqing, you say it again!"
Shi Wenzheng's eyes were round, and the halberd pointed at Di Danqing, and shouted hoarsely.
Di Danqing knelt on the ground, knocked his head three times, and repeated his confession: "Your Majesty, the old minister was old and confused at that time, for the sake of the reputation of the Di family's loyalty for generations, he dared to rely on the military power in his hands and his subordinates, forcing King Zhao and Princess Zhao to cover up what Yunlong really did, and reversed the right and wrong of the turmoil in King Zhao's mansion. Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of Lao Chen. Please don't blame King Zhao and Princess Zhao! The two of them are really innocent, but they were tragically implicated. ”
"Nonsense!"
Shi Wenzheng kicked over the desk, rushed to Di Danqing in three or two steps, leaned over and grabbed Di Danqing's collar, and said sharply: "Di Danqing, do you think I don't know about your friendship with Feiqing and Gu Panxi's slut?" You are clearly protecting them in order to help them get rid of the sin of deceit! ”
Di Danqing just shook his head and said lightly: "Your Majesty, what the old minister said is true. Please think twice, don't blame the innocent, don't let King Zhao and Princess Zhao be wronged. ”
"Will they be wronged? They are so bold that they dare to threaten ......"
Shi Wenzheng was furious, and almost slipped out, blurting out the fact that Gu Panxi had blackmailed himself. Filled with anger, he hurriedly closed his mouth, and as soon as he spoke, he threatened: "Di Danqing, do you think that if you protect Feiqing and Gu Panxi, I can't help them?" I'm here, but today! ”
Di Danqing shook his head and said, "The old minister knows that the emperor is the son of today, so he hopes that the emperor can think twice and not blame the innocent. The emperor is a benevolent monarch who will be famous for a hundred years, how can he lose his reputation because of the confusion of the old minister? ”
The word "reputation" really pierced Shi Wenzheng's heart. His reputation has long been destroyed by the queen of the red apricot out of the wall and the wild species of Shi Youxing. If it weren't for the fame, Shi Wenzheng would not have been reduced to the point of being coerced by Gu Panxi.
"Fame, fame! Okay, Di Danqing, even you, because of Gu Panxi, that slut, have learned a sharp mouth! Your son Di Yunlong attempted to rebel, you, the general of the town, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the king of Lushan, have never forgotten the duty of loyal ministers, and you want to persuade me to be the emperor, right? I will fulfill you! ”
Shi Wenzheng waved his hand and shouted to Li Yu, "Li Yu, die!" Prepare for me! ”
Li Yu trembled and took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and was about to ask the political plan for the time.
"King Zhao was not clear, Princess Zhao looked forward to it, covered up the truth of the commotion in Zhao Wangfu, and committed the crime of bullying the king. Although I cared about the two of them, I was threatened by Di Danqing and had to do it as a last resort - but, Shi Feiqing is a son of man and a minister, and in the face of such a situation, even if he is desperate, he should also reveal the truth to me! Gu Panxi is a wife, and in the face of such a situation, even if she gives up her life, she should persuade her husband to make the right choice. Because of King Zhao and Princess Zhao, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Now, I will abolish the title of King Zhao of the Qing Dynasty and demote him to a commoner! ”
