The midwinter of the seventeenth year of Yongli is destined to be an unquiet season of wind and snow.

First, the son of Gu Mingyun, the favorite of Emperor Yongli's favorite Nine Emperor Princes, was in Gu, and then the Eighth Emperor and the Eighth Emperor Concubine were both beaten into the Zongren Mansion, and then the Eighth Emperor Concubine lost his son and the Eighth Prince was assassinated......

With the occurrence of this series of events, the face of Emperor Yongli above the court became more and more gloomy, and the courtiers were all trembling, walking on thin ice, and did not dare to say more than half a word.

In the early days of this day, the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, and even the princes who listened to the government also prostrated on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Bastard thing! When I am an ornament! Dare to sneak into the imperial study and steal my jade seal! Emperor Yongli, who was sitting upright on the dragon chair, roared loudly in a gaffe.

Before he could check the previous things, a bold thief stole his private seal!

As soon as these words came out, the exhalation in the hall weakened a lot, and everyone lowered their heads and stared at the ground.

Emperor Yongli has been the emperor for decades, and they rarely have such a big fire, they don't dare to provoke at all, they can only try to minimize their sense of existence and not provoke Emperor Yongli's attention.

However, there are some things that you can't just dodge if you want to.

Even though he had tried his best to shrink his sense of existence, Jing Zhaoyin was the first to be named, and Emperor Yongli burst out: "Where is Jing Zhaoyin?" โ€

Jing Zhaoyin immediately shuddered, then tried his best to suppress his fear, and replied tremblingly, "Weichen is here. โ€

"What do I want you to do? Yes? How could the security of the capital have ever been so weak? The dignified emperor and grandson of the heavenly family, if you say harm, you will harm! Even my imperial study can come and go freely! Isn't it, tomorrow that villain can break into Qianyun Palace and take my life?! โ€

"Wechen is guilty!" Jing Zhaoyin was frightened by the undisguised anger and resentment in Emperor Yongli's words, and kowtowed with a white face to forgiveness.

Emperor Yongli swept his eyes coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course you are guilty!" You are unforgivable! โ€

After that, he looked directly at the princes and clan princes kneeling together, and said in a slightly gentle tone: "Mingju, from today on, you are Jing Zhaoyin!" โ€

Gu Mingju's eyes froze for a moment, and then he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Nephew, thank you Uncle Huang for your grace!" โ€

Seeing that he didn't shirk and responded directly, Emperor Yongli's face softened a little, and said, "Jue'er, you get up!" โ€

He was angry, where would Gu Mingyu disobey him, although he didn't agree with standing up at this time, he still knew the current affairs very well.

At the same time, Yuan Jing Zhaoyin, whose body was still trembling slightly, was now trembling like chaff.

Since His Majesty can be dismissed so cleanly, he will naturally be able to take other people's heads......

Just as he was in a rambling panic, Emperor Yongli spoke again.

"As for you waste, just stay at home and take a good look at how the new Jing Zhaoyin manages the security of Kyoto!"

As soon as the words fell, a drop of sweat slipped across the corner of Yuan Jingzhaoyin's forehead, and then he immediately kowtowed excitedly to thank him: "The guilty minister bows to thank God!" Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! โ€

As long as your life is saved, the official position is nothing!

"Mingyan, Mingyue, Mingjue, how are the three of you doing?" After dealing with Jing Zhaoyin, Emperor Yongli suddenly moved his gaze to Gu Mingyan and the others.

The three brothers who were named quickly glanced at each other, and then Gu Mingyan replied: "Back to my father, after many days of investigation, the sons and the two emperors have already found some eyebrows, but they are very wide-ranging, and it is not good to say that when the court meeting is dispersed, the sons will go to the imperial study to report to their father!" โ€

At this time, the haze on Emperor Yongli's face had already dissipated more than half, and he said happily: "Yes!" โ€

The Eighth Prince has been wronged for a long time, and the Heart-Eating Gu on Gu Xixiao's body is also extremely urgent, he has been worried about that case, just hoping to find out the truth earlier, and now he finally has some clues!

Subsequently, Emperor Yongli routinely dealt with the recent government affairs, and then dispersed in a hurry, and Gu Mingyan and a few people respectfully followed him and left the main hall.

In the imperial study, as soon as Emperor Yongli sat down, he asked eagerly: "Mingyan, what do you mean by the wide involvement?" โ€

Gu Mingyan's faces froze at the same time, and then Gu Mingyan took out a bunch of things from his wide sleeve and respectfully handed them to Emperor Yongli.

Emperor Yongli frowned, this matter was afraid that it was more complicated than he thought, he hurriedly took the things handed by Gu Mingyan and looked at it carefully.

As his movements became slower and slower, his face became more solemn and his gaze became sharper.

After reading that large number of things, Emperor Yongli's face had turned black to ink.

"How did you find him?" He asked with a deep breath.

"Some time ago, when he sent people to the Seven Emperor Brothers' Mansion to kidnap the two Xichen brothers and sisters, one of them was captured alive by the Seven Emperor Brothers." Gu Mingyan said succinctly.

"Oh?" Emperor Yongli frowned.

He's bold!

failed to kill the eighth child as he wished, but actually hit the idea on a few people who investigated the case?

It's really a thief!

"Father, please look at this!" Gu Mingjue took out a sign from his wide sleeve.

Emperor Yongli bowed his head slightly, and Gu Mingjue handed him the sign.

He took the sign and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said coldly: "I actually raised so many white-eyed wolves!" I forgave them for their sins, and waited for them to live, but they were the sons and grandchildren who started a fire against me! โ€

Gu Mingyan and the others glanced at each other, and then knelt down together and said, "Father is angry!" โ€

"What's the use of appeasing my wrath? If I am angry, Xiao'er's Gu will be solved? Will my yet-to-be-born grandson come back? Emperor Yongli shouted.

Hearing this, Gu Mingyan didn't dare to persuade anymore, so he could only wait for Emperor Yongli to calm down.

Fortunately, Emperor Yongli was a wise emperor after all, and he was not burned by anger, but he regained his calm in a moment.

He waved his hand and said, "That's it! That's it! This matter has nothing to do with you, it is a disaster that I have single-handedly raised, so you should step aside! โ€

After saying that, he rubbed his forehead very tiredly, his eyes full of disappointment and pain.

Seeing this, Gu Mingyan and the others were all shocked and sad, but they also understood Emperor Yongli's temperament, and he didn't need their comfort, so they only glanced at Emperor Yongli worriedly and obediently retreated.

"Wait!" Emperor Yongli suddenly summoned them.

"Father?" The three looked up suspiciously.

"The matter...... At this point, you don't have to look any further. โ€

"What?" Gu Mingyue exclaimed directly.

What is the rationale for this? The evidence is already in hand, and it is only necessary to send the Zongren Mansion to get people, so why stop here?

In this way, the grievances of the Eighth Prince and his wife will be in vain, and their hard work for many days will be in vain!

"That's it, I said! Look no further! Emperor Yongli repeated in an accentuated tone.

"Father! This...... This ......," Gu Mingyue called unwillingly.

"You've worked hard these days, go back and rest!" Emperor Yongli didn't seem to hear his words, and only smiled lightly.

Several of them investigated the case day and night, and the blue shadow under their eyes had turned black and blue, which was really hard.

"Father......" Gu Mingyue wanted to say something more, but was dragged away by Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue.

"Thank you for your concern, my son will retire!" Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue saluted Gu Mingyue together, and then walked out quickly.

Emperor Yongli's eyes drooped slightly, and he watched them leave like that, his eyes were pale and dark, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Saying that Gu Mingyan's three brothers walked out of the imperial study together, Gu Mingyue angrily pushed the two of them away, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are you stopping me?" The grievances and pain of the Eighth Emperor Brother and the Eighth Brother and Sister were all in vain? Also, the precious Gu Xixiao is still waiting to solve the Gu! โ€

"Why do you think he dares to act with impunity?" Gu Mingjue glanced at Gu Mingyue and sneered.

Since that man dares to be so presumptuous, he must have relied on his presumptuousness.

It's not like they can be caught in the Zongren Mansion with evidence!

"No matter how arrogant he is, can he surpass his father?" Gu Mingyue raised her eyebrows disdainfully.

"On the shore of the land, if it is not the king's minister, he is naturally not as strong as his father, but if his father wants to take him out, he will also be greatly injured! Now, our relations with our neighbors are tense, and if there is any more civil strife, the whole Dayan will be gone! Gu Mingjue raised his voice and said.

Gu Mingyue is full of poetry and books, smart and wise, but he is a noble prince who has not experienced too much pain and darkness, and for some things, he is not as clear as a person from a humble background who has suffered from the warmth and coldness of the world since childhood.

"Isn't there the 500,000 iron horsemen of the Ningguo Mansion and the father and son of the King of Ruyang?" Gu Mingyue didn't want to think about it.

The Su army has always been strong, and the Rong army in the north is also brave and good at fighting.

The armies of these two families, since the establishment of the Yan State, have each scrupulously guarded the territory of the Great Yan, plus other generals, should not be afraid of the provocation of any surrounding country, right?

Gu Mingyue thought innocently.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha! Brother Six Emperors, I'm afraid you're thinking too much about war! Gu Mingjue couldn't help laughing.

"Do you know how cruel and bloody war can be? Once it will be completed, ten thousand bones will wither! On the battlefield, I always step on the dripping blood and the bones of others! In a big war, how many people will be torn apart because of the death of the male in the family? Did you know that wherever war spreads, people are displaced? Gu Mingjue looked at Gu Mingyue's eyes fixedly, and said word by word.

Gu Mingyue was a little stunned by him, staring blankly at him with red eyes, and only after a while did he react, Nuo Nuo said: "It's me who wants to be bad, don't worry about the sixth emperor brother!" โ€

I have to say that he was shocked by Gu Mingjue's words, which completely subverted his understanding of war.

yes, he thought it was too simple......

If it weren't for the danger of war, how could so many generals die on the battlefield? Even the amazing and brilliant son Su Ning'an was a horse leather shroud back then, leaving an orphan girl and the old Ning Guogong in vain.

"Alright, let's all go back and rest! This Kyoto, I'm afraid this year is going to be turbulent! Be careful! โ€

"Hmm!" Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingjue bowed their heads together.
