Chapter 40: Words from the Heart

Song Renzong looked at Gu Changming seriously: "Don't avoid it, I want to see what you really think." ”

Gu Changming was neither humble nor arrogant, his back was straight, and he accepted the emperor's scrutiny. Although he has an old friendship with Sun Youxiang, and the other party is the father-in-law of his best friend, he knows in his heart that what this person has committed will have absolutely no chance of surviving unless he has made a mistake.

And this merit is afraid that all the people behind him who are implicated and involved will confess, Sun Youxiang gritted his teeth and held on for so long, he is not afraid of life and death, what expectation will he expect to change his mind?

"I didn't tell you where Sun Youxiang would go?" Song Renzong's expression really didn't show joy and anger, as a king, quietness is the most basic skill, "And you seem to know it?" ”

"Every time the emperor guides with words, he can always surprise people." Gu Changming did not retreat, but instead showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "There are not many people in the court who can guess the emperor's true heart. ”

"Can you?" Song Renzong asked directly to the topic.

"The emperor also said that I am not a courtier, so I don't have to guess, I am looking at the direction of the case itself." Gu Changming's eyes dissipated, revealing a clear clarity, "The emperor escorted him to the Criminal Division, and then to the prison." Every move is played in a mysterious way. ”

"I'll allow you to guess." Song Renzong became more and more appreciative of the young man in front of him, and he knew that the only son of Gu Wuduo's family was different from ordinary people. This difference is not only in ability, in terms of service methods, eight-sided long-sleeved good dance, Su Xu seems to be better.

Su Xu himself is considered Gu Wuduo's disciple and disciple, and it seems that he is more suitable for officialdom than Gu Changming.

But I don't know what the reason is, Song Renzong wants to keep Gu Changming very much, not to enter the court as an official, but to appear by his side at all times, as if from now on, no matter how difficult the event is, there will be a person who will not retreat and take over at any time.

You know, using such a talent is also risky. Song Renzong's promise that Qingyun Liu's order could pass anywhere was tantamount to letting go of great power to Gu Changming. I don't know how Gu Changming himself thinks of such a holy grace, at least so far, he hasn't said a word.

Song Renzong felt that this person was more and more interesting, and saw that Gu Changming was still groaning, not bothering, and letting him wait in silence. There was only the sound of two people breathing in the imperial study, which was smooth and quiet.

"Your Majesty, when I just met Master Miao, I suddenly thought that I wouldn't see Su Xu for a few days. He was his father's protΓ©gΓ© and was always respectful. After his father was imprisoned, he ran in many ways, even at the cost of blocking his official career. How could a person with such a personality disappear at a critical time. Gu Changming said slowly, "The only possibility is that the emperor sent him to do something more important, but he gave him a promise." ”

Just as the Queen Mother promised them to run a thousand-mile trip that day, there would be news of Gu Wuduo when they came back. Sending the third princess to marry will write off Liu Zhuxue's past. This was originally a tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers, and this time is no exception.

Song Renzong raised his chin slightly, signaling him not to pause and continue to speak.

"The last time the emperor saw me and Phoenix in the other courtyard, Lord Miao said that the emperor wanted to go out of the palace to relax. The courtyard is in Kaifeng Mansion, which seems to be logical, but it is actually a mystery hidden in the city. Gu Changming said in one go, "If you are not mistaken, that place has now become a place where Sun Youxiang is confined, and he should be able to think clearly about what his next step should be." ”

Song Renzong couldn't help but pat the corner of the table and asked, "What about Su Xu you are talking about?" ”

Su Xu stayed there, Sun Youxiang's case was closed, and his father's crimes were written off this time. The emperor's attitude towards me and Su Xu is the same. It's okay that he and I are of the same mind and can work together to solve the case. Gu Changming got up, knelt down, and gave the emperor a careful salute, "I don't dare to hide anything from the emperor, although my father wakes up, there is something strange in his body, I am afraid that it is easy to go wrong." ”

Song Renzong listened to his heartfelt words, and did not see the slightest surprise: "You explain, what is wrong with Gu Wuduo's body?" ”

After my father woke up, he didn't say anything in the first words, and after understanding, he figured out that his memory was missing, and it was still half a year before he resigned and went home. In his impression, he was still Master Gu of the Criminal Division, and he didn't even know why he was in prison. Gu Changming knew it in his heart, and the emperor knew this first.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone a place like a prison where many pairs of eyes are staring at it. If it weren't for Qu Jingshan's actions on the personnel of the prison, I am afraid that these news would have been transmitted to the emperor faster. Those people are so bent on completing their tasks that they tend to ignore these clues.

"It should be a memory that has been missing for six or seven years, and this matter is not big, but it is not small. In the past six or seven years, there have been quite a lot of changes in the government and the opposition, and I originally wanted to hand over extremely important people to him, but now it seems that it is going to be slowed down. Song Renzong really knew it, "Don't worry too much, this disease does not affect his daily actions, find the best imperial doctor to see it a few more times, and it should get better." ”

After speaking, Song Renzong made a gesture to tell him to get up and not kneel anymore.

Gu Changming's body was just about to move, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and the emperor opposite showed a very strange look on his face, as if he was waiting for a letter from someone who had returned for a long time, and it was like a six-hundred-mile express in front of him that had just arrived at this time.

Song Renzong's expression changed suddenly, his hands grabbed heavily on the handle of the chair, and from the angle where Gu Changming was kneeling, he saw that the green tendons on the backs of his hands were stacked, obviously with great force.

"Someone outside the door wants to bring in a piece of news, either good news or bad news, and I don't even know it." Song Renzong opened his mouth with difficulty, "I am slightly relieved that you can wait here with me. ”

Gu Changming's eyes lit up, as if he thought of what the emperor was waiting for! If your guess is correct, it is indeed very important news. It's just who is the person who sent the news, and this is the most worrying question. Gu Changming found out who was the person he had never expected to appear in the next moment?

became famous at a young age, there were no setbacks along the way, and he walked smoothly. Outsiders only look at him lightly, but they don't know that he is climbing up the stairs, and there is a kind of panic that is unbearable in the high places, and gradually they can't see where the retreat is.

On the way, I happened to meet Dai Guozi, willow bamboo snow, and even the little phoenix that I missed. In the eyes of others, there is no one who can compare to him, and they are all stained with the title of Changming Gongzi in order to live an infinite life.

However, only he knew in his heart that he was nothing more than a delicate machine before he met these three people. The skills of solving the case since childhood, the portrait of the suspect who can be seen at the scene of the crime, step by step, maybe a little relieved at the moment when the murderer is caught.

In addition, his mood is not shocked, and his expressionless face is a common coping mask.

The door in front of him was pushed open from the outside, and Gu Changming's eyes locked. The answer was about to come out, and he had a kind of contradiction that his heart was calm and palpitating.

"Xiao Gu, I want to ask you again." Song Renzong's voice sounded, the opening and closing of the door stopped, and time seemed to stop, "No matter what the ending is, can you be calm?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, how can people be unintentional if they are not grass and trees." Gu Changming landed on one knee, and every word was sonorous and powerful.

Song Renzong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled very happily: "Okay, very good." It's really a good thing that Gu Wuduo hasn't let you soak in officialdom over the years. I like your temperament, get up. ”

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for the person outside the door." Gu Changming's eyes narrowed slightly, still with an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance.

"Alright, don't hide from him anymore, you can come in too." Song Renzong said gently, although there was a smile in his eyes, there was a faint sharp light.

The door was pushed open again, and Gu Changming's gaze locked tightly on the person in front of him, as if he was very surprised, and felt that it was reasonable.

"Changming Gongzi." Xiao Hulu smiled at him very calmly, "It's been a long time." ”

"Get up, get up and speak." Song Renzong saw that the height of the two kneeling and standing was almost parallel, and he didn't feel funny in his heart, "You don't see much surprise when you look at him, the good son taught by Gu Wuduo, why don't I have such a prince who can calm down." ”

Where did Gu Changming dare to talk about such a topic casually, and the imperial study was not a place where he could completely hide secrets. It's just that if the little gourd is the emperor's person, then the emperor should be more calm about the appearance of the little phoenix.

Although there were too many accidents today, Gu Changming was still able to sort out the chaotic clues quickly. The emperor let Qu Jingshan be in charge of Qi Kunmen, how can he rest assured that this person covers the sky with one hand, and he will inevitably place an eyeliner that is not far away or close to him.

The little gourd has been able to settle down in Kaifeng Mansion for all these years, and the strength of the relationship network can be seen. He once said that although he was a member of Qi Kunmen, he was only willing to stay in Kaifeng Mansion.

So what Qujingshan did after he arrived in Kaifeng Mansion is not unknown to anyone!

"Fortunately, those people in the prison were going to die. I dropped my bag and made them think they were all dead, but they were hiding in a safe place outside the city. In front of the emperor, the little gourd didn't have the slightest inhibitions, but was more free and easy than ordinary courtiers, "It's just that the secret must be hidden, and the trick must be played enough." It's also my sin for not daring to reveal the news beforehand. ”

Gu Changming was relieved to hear that the guards in the prison were still alive. Qing Songcheng's frightened expression seemed to be right in front of his eyes, who would want a colleague who has been in business for many years to die without knowing it, and it is the most unjust way to die.

"I can trust your ability, so when the news of the sudden change in the heavenly prison came, I didn't have too much to worry about, but this series of accidents was really disgusting, and Qu Jingshan really couldn't keep it." Song Renzong vetoed it when Gu Wuduo proposed to exterminate Qi Kunmen. Now it is tantamount to making a decisive decision.

"Everything is subject to the emperor's will." The little gourd walked in front of Song Renzong, and also knelt down and bowed, "The original intention of Qi Kunmen over the years has already gone down the wrong path, if it weren't for the emperor's old feelings, Qu Jingshan would have been cut with a thousand knives." ”

"No, I still have to slow down, I can't startle the snake at this time." Song Renzong lowered his eyes and looked at the little gourd kneeling in front of him, and then slowly turned his gaze to Gu Changming next to him, "I told you all the secrets, have you figured out what to do?" ”
