"The last time the emperor mentioned the origin of the Nine Heavens Drum, why don't you inform the second or third first?" Gu Changming was very aware of this kind of waiting anxiety, so he simply diverted the topic, and wanted to see what the emperor's attitude was towards Imperial Doctor Di.

When Song Renzong heard the three words of the Nine Heavens Drum, he slowly turned his head, his eyes empty, as if he was thinking about what it meant.

Gu Changming is very patient, don't mention it, that Imperial Doctor Di is also a good-natured person, a person who is light and breezy from beginning to end, which makes people often ignore his existence.

Song Renzong was calm, but he still felt that it was not suitable for a imperial doctor to know too much, "My throat is a little uncomfortable, and Imperial Doctor Di decoction comes to let me moisten my throat first." Song Renzong quietly sent people out.

Di walked out slowly, as if he had never heard the conversation between the two.

"What does Xiao Gu think of this person?" Song Renzong asked in a low voice.

"Not humble or arrogant, it is very suitable to stay by the emperor's side." When Gu Changming saw it, he could understand the good intentions of Old Imperial Doctor Wen. One is walking in the palace for many years to see through the world, and the other is young and indifferent. If you leave a person who is bent on camping by the emperor's side, I am afraid that something big will happen.

"The medical skills are also good, last night he fried a bowl of calming soup for me, so that I slept for four hours before I woke up, refreshed." Song Renzong's smile flashed, "Where did Xiao Gu see the words Nine Heavens Drum?" ”

"In the middle of the mountain of Ajiu Mountain, there is an unknown tomb. There are two giant coffins in the tomb, and on the back of one of the coffin plates, I don't know who wrote the three characters of Jiuxiao Drum. Gu Changming's heart was shocked at that time, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, "So the grass people have been looking for the source of the Jiuxiao Drum, and they never wanted to go around but they found clues here in the emperor." ”

"The Nine Heavens Drum first appeared forty-three years ago, before I was born. Xiao Gu did you remember what happened back then? "Song Renzong intends to test him," It is said that the Gu family's study is full of various case files, records, and calendars in the past hundred years, and the Gu family has the ability to never forget, if you can answer it, I will slowly tell you the follow-up." ”

Gu Changming didn't dare to say that whoever could store a century-old case file was just a rumor from outsiders. However, he should still remember everything about forty-three years ago.

At that time, the officials in the court were divided into two factions, each with its own opinion. Some officials advocated reform and changed the way of farming at the time, but conservatives fought for it to remain the same. It is a common partisan dispute, who would have thought that after not being able to distinguish the winner on the surface, someone secretly did something to win a big victory. In one year, as many as 19 officials of the DPRK and China were assassinated, and for a moment people were panicked, fearing that they would lose their lives while they were still in the morning of the day.

"The Nine Heavens Drum was the code of the reformists at that time, accompanied by an inconspicuous nursery rhyme to prevent the assassination of their own people." Song Renzong sighed and said, "At that time, the emperor used the secret guards around him to try his best to stop such a vicious circle, arresting those who should be caught, killing those who should be killed, and when the two factions were peaceful, the court suffered heavy losses, and even took the imperial examination in the second year, which was used to fill the huge vacancy of the officials in the court. ”

"If it is such a major event, why is there no record in the court, and there is no even circulation among the people?" Gu Changming grasped the suspicion, "I have never seen the words Nine Heavens Drum in any written records. ”

"Under the grief of the emperor, where can such a dark past leave evidence, in case someone follows suit in the future, so the partisan dispute is only a brief writing of more than ten sentences in a hurry, and the three characters of Jiuxiao Drum have become taboo since then, no matter who is in the palace of the court, if he makes an exception to say it, it is directly a capital crime, and even sits." Song Renzong really didn't want to bring up the old matter again, so he had to explain it clearly to Gu Changming, "I am afraid that the tomb you saw was left by one of the exiled three-man party at that time. ”

As soon as Gu Changming closed his eyes, he could see the three words of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance again, which was consistent with what the emperor said, and the person who wrote it was full of indignation and had nowhere to relieve it, and he was afraid that he would die of depression after all.

"In this way, the Nine Heavens Drum is the code name of an organization, and that nursery rhyme has never changed." Gu Changming chanted in a low voice, "A drum, grass and trees are born." Two drumming, memory blank. Three drums, the past hurts. Four drums, the song passed away. Five drums, begging for God. Six drums, clear minds. Seven drums, dark light. Eight drums, the road is broken. ”

"Why don't you go on?" Song Renzong was originally listening to Gu Changming's singing, and the nursery rhymes were in his ears, but he didn't see the childlike innocence, only the mystery.

"That's all the grass people heard." Gu Changming also wanted to know, what exactly is the Nine Drums?

"What a coincidence, I remember only hitting eight drums." Song Renzong slightly expressed some regret, "The reformists did not succeed back then, and the nursery rhymes were also not fully composed. ”

"However, the grass people have only heard this in recent years." Gu Changming especially remembered that on the surface of the Tongtian River in Quyang County, the children's voices were ethereal and lingering.

"I'm thinking that something bad is coming back." Song Renzong's brows tightened, "Someone pretended to use the name of the Nine Heavens Drum to re-attempt the government and the opposition in blood, eradicate dissidents, and cover the sky with one hand." ”

"The emperor means that Su Xu's death is not an emergency." Gu Changming has been looking for answers all the way, and when the answer is in front of him, he doesn't want to face it so quickly.

"The so-called strange poison was first transmitted from the Liu family. Although Liu Zhiyuan was the young Yin of Kaifeng Mansion before his death, he had nothing to do with Lao Jiu on the surface. Lao Jiu and I are from the same mother, and they have no ambitions on weekdays, and they love to do some tricky things to attract cats and dogs. Such an idle prince, who wants to harm him, and what is the use of harming him? This is just the first step of the opponent, a warning to me. Song Renzong glanced at Gu Changming deeply, "I also figured this out not long ago. Why did the opponent want to harm Lao Jiu first? What secrets does Lao Jiu have that no one knows? ”

Where can Gu Changming answer, even if he guesses a few points in his heart, he can't bring it up at this time, otherwise he will really touch the emperor's scales, and it will be thankless.

Song Renzong looked at his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "It is said that your father and son are the most similar, if I want to say, Xiao Gu looks more like a gentleman, but he is much more sleek than Lao Gu." At this time, if Lao Gu is in front of me, he will definitely answer first and then ask, and he is not afraid of offending me at all. ”

When Gu Changming heard the emperor say this, he suddenly felt ashamed: "Your Majesty, the grass people didn't mean to hide it. ”

"Straightforwardness is a double-edged sword, and after Lao Gu resigned, this shortcoming became even more obvious. I really love and hate him, otherwise I wouldn't have thrown people into the prison that day, and I didn't ask for restraint just hoping that he would know that he would be restrained, but he was good, and lost the memory of the middle six or seven years in a blink of an eye, and it was easier to offend people than after that. Song Renzong smiled bitterly, "Am I self-defeating?" ”

"The emperor's amnesia is fake." Gu Changming's gaze slowly turned to the door of the imperial study, even the light sound of the footsteps could not stop the other person from deliberately dragging his footsteps, "My father's amnesia is not unavoidable." ”

Song Renzong's surprise didn't have time to express his surprise, and Mao Liu's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Gu Wuduo is not at home, and he can't be found around, so I left a message for the people in the palace for the time being, so that he can rush to the palace as soon as he returns to the palace." ”

Song Renzong hurriedly shouted and asked, "Xiao Gu, what did you just say?" ”

"True or false, Your Majesty." Gu Changming lowered his eyebrows and replied in a low voice.

"You're doubting your father." Song Renzong heard this, "When did it start?" ”

"Su Xu had an accident. The emperor's amnesia is fake, and the syncope is real. When Su Xu saw the person who trespassed into the imperial garden, when he begged to send him out of the city, he refused to tell who he saw after repeated inquiries. Gu Changming put his father's suspicions in the first place at that time, but deep down in his heart he was very repulsed, trying to find an alibi for his father, thinking that he would soon find another real murderer.

The real murderer was never seen, but Su Xu died.

"Some cases seem to be unrelated, but in fact, if you peel back the outer layer of camouflage, you will find that the methods on the inside are no different." Gu Changming lowered his head, and the place where his gaze fell was the place where Sun Youxiang died of poison on the day of the party, "Since the emperor has not forgotten, please take out the page of list that Sun Youxiang wrote to the emperor first." ”

"I've seen the ones on the list a few times, but I don't think there's anything." Song Renzong sat upright and motionless, "Even if all these people are arrested that night, there will not be much shock and change in the court." This would have been a perfunctory list. ”

"Sun Youxiang knows about the Nine Heavens Drum." Gu Changming rushed back to the prison in one step later in the evening, and someone dug up all the handwriting written on the wall by Sun Youxiang before him, which was equivalent to destroying the corpse, "According to what the emperor saw, why did Sun Youxiang die?" He didn't die in the Criminal Division, he didn't die in the prison, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, but he died in the emperor's imperial study. ”

"Fearing sin and dying, he understood that it was impossible for him to get rid of his involvement and go out again in the open." Song Renzong looked at Gu Changming's reaction carefully, "Don't you think?" ”

"It's true, but it's a strange time. Grass people ......" Gu Changming's words were interrupted again, and the little phoenix shouted angrily outside that he wanted to come in, but he should have been stopped by Mao Liu.

"I have something important to see Gu Changming, what are you stopping me from doing!" The little phoenix has never had so many rules to speak of, and wants to reach out and push Mao Liu away.

"Presumptuous! The emperor was discussing important matters with the prince of Changming inside, and he would not allow others to trespass. Mao Liu dodged one of her attacks, "If it weren't for you walking with the prince of Changming, I would have been able to take you down and punish you at this moment." ”

"Punish the crime, punish the crime! The real murderer is about to succeed, and you are still here to stand in my way. The little phoenix snorted, his hand speed was extremely fast, and he made three more moves. Mao Liu saw that between her hands, a silver light flashed, and her first reaction was that this woman actually hid a hidden weapon when she entered the palace, and she was no longer merciful at the moment, and was about to take it down in one go.

The little phoenix's left hand had already touched the back of his neck unconsciously, and Mao Liu only felt a tingling pain, and lost his consciousness from the neck down. He was so shocked that he couldn't shout out the word "catch the assassin", and the remaining strength was only enough to grab half of the little phoenix's sleeve.

That bit of strength was not put in the eyes of the little phoenix at all, and with her gentle flick, Mao Liu's hand was waved out, and the whole person was unstable, and he threw himself forward. The first reaction that came out of his mind was whether Gu Changming could protect the emperor's safety, or maybe they were originally a group and wanted to wait for the opportunity to make a move against the emperor.

The opportunity has arrived.
