Chapter Fifty-Eight: Leaking Rumors

Gu Wuduo was confused by the emperor's attitude, and after a night of speechlessness and undocumented, the sky was bright and asked people to bring him up, showing that he was unwilling to be interrogated in person. But the emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was gentle, which really didn't look like a cover for annoyance.

"Gu Wuduo, where did the Nine Heavens Drum come from, do you know?" Song Renzong didn't ignore the incomprehension in his eyes, panicked, this was the expression that rarely appeared on Gu Wuduo's face for so many years.

"The Nine Heavens Drum was created by me alone, shouldn't the emperor be very clear in his heart?" When Gu Wuduo heard the emperor's question, he couldn't help but sneer, it turned out that he was still playing tricks.

"No, I asked you where you got those three words before, do you remember?" Song Renzong asked unhurriedly, "It's not you who created it, Xiao Gu also told me that under the mountain of Ajiu Mountain, I have seen an anonymous tomb, and there is an empty coffin in the tomb, and it is these three words written on the coffin lid." ”

Gu Wuduo naturally knew very well what Gu Changming had seen, and he could justify himself, then this tomb was said to be arranged by himself in advance, deliberately luring everyone to it. What Gu Changming saw was just what he wanted him to see, and his testimony could not represent anything.

"Looks like you'll need to think a little bit more, so I'll have time to call another person to come." Song Renzong raised his hand at General Yujing, and the door of the imperial study opened again.

Gu Changming didn't want the emperor to have another witness, so he locked the door tightly, and saw that it was Dai Mianshan, who was also seriously injured yesterday, who walked in slowly. Dai Mianshan's injuries seem to be much more serious than his, but in fact, they will be easier to recover from than him, and external injuries are always much easier to treat than internal injuries.

As soon as Dai Mianshan appeared, Gu Changming quickly thought of the hallucinations and auditory hallucinations produced by Dai Guozi in the stalactites group under Ah Jiu Mountain. The white flying insects that linger on the stalactites will make those who come close to them see what is in their hearts, and the fruit says that he has seen his father. At that time, the tone of the fruit was a little uncertain, saying that it was obvious that he had seen people, but he felt very strange.

In fact, the father in Guozi's impression is the deceased Dai Seventeen, but what he saw was Dai Mianshan, and the two of them should be somewhat similar in appearance and appearance, so that he couldn't distinguish clearly, and only thought it was an illusion in the illusion.

"Your Majesty, General Eton." Dai Mianshan's movement was slow, and Song Renzong immediately exempted him from saluting and asked him to sit down with peace of mind first, "I appeared, Xiao Gu is so smart, I must have thought of it, Ah Jiu Mountain, I am also there." ”

Gu Wuduo's breath was even more chaotic, why hadn't he heard Gu Changming talk about it, not that Dai Mianshan was because Dai Guozi entered the Criminal Prosecution Division and was almost punished on the spot, so he ignored the emperor's secret order, exposed his identity, and rescued his long-lost son. This chess piece, Sun Youxiang has been raising by his side for so many years, and it has not really come in handy, which is also a pity for Gu Wuduo.

How did Dai Mianshan mean that when they entered Ah Jiu Mountain, they had already met?

"I didn't know it was Mr. Dai at the time, and I didn't think of it later, so I'm ashamed." Gu Changming lowered his head and said with a wry smile, a little true and a little false, I just thought that it was all an illusion, but I never thought that Dai Mianshan was real.

"I went to Ajiu Mountain on the orders of the emperor to pick up an important object." Dai Mianshan is a secret guard, although he is exposed to everyone, he is not as restrained as a courtier. The emperor's rule when he sits down on weekdays is that all secret orders must be resolved quickly, without the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, let alone dragging the mud and water.

"That empty coffin is because Mr. Dai is one step ahead of us?" Gu Changming's expression was even more surprised, his upper body leaned forward slightly, if it weren't for the emperor by his side, he really wanted to ask Dai Mianshan to start from the beginning.

"The coffin is not a corpse, but it is not empty. When I was in the stalactite group, I was indeed seen by the fruit, and I was still some distance away from him, and not only did he see me and call me, but I was shocked when I saw him. "Before Dai Mianshan went on a mission, he didn't expect such an adventure. After he came back and delivered the task, he still wanted to ask the emperor if he intended to arrange it, but he didn't wait for the opportunity to speak, his identity in the Criminal Division was exposed, and there was no more opportunity to ask.

"These are the things he took out of the coffin, and they're all here." Song Renzong took out a few rolls of bamboo slips, "I began to look boring, and the more I looked at it, the more interesting it became. Not only is there the origin of the Nine Heavens Drum of the former dynasty, but there is also a specific entry list, on which I see a rare surname. ”

The bamboo slips were unfolded by Song Renzong, although they were turned old and yellow, the handwriting recorded with a red pen on them was still vivid and dazzlingly red.

Gu Changming's eyesight is good, even if he is separated by a distance, he is still reading quickly, and he does not forget to pay attention to his father. Gu Wuduo's posture remained unchanged, but his lips were trembling, it was obvious that his father was not only watching, but also remembering.

Song Renzong didn't mean to embarrass people at all, his fingers locked on the handwriting recorded by the red pen and clicked twice.

Gu Changming saw clearly that it was a Hu character, and the surname was forever. This surname was originally small, and it just so happened that he knew another woman with the surname Hu, who was Phoenix's biological mother Hu Min'er, and later Concubine Min.

"When I saw this surname, I really thought too much about the past." Song Renzong turned his face sideways, most of his expression disappeared into the shadows, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking in his heart at this moment, "Yujing, what did you say to me in the morning?" ”

"The master of Qujing Mountain has passed away, and the body is in the secret passage outside the imperial study. The minister asked clearly, he was seriously injured by Gu Wuduo, couldn't support it, and finally died in the secret passage, the phoenix girl asked me to collect the bones of her master for her, incinerate them and put them in clay pots to deliver, and the minister had promised her. General Yukei's words were neat, "The bones have been disposed of, and the ashes are ready to be delivered to the Phoenix Girl later." ”

"Xiao Gu, before Qu Jingshan died, you were by his side?" Song Renzong lowered his eyes and asked, "Did he say anything?" ”

"He said that although he entered the palace to help us, he was unwilling to see the emperor until he died, and we agreed to him, so although he took his last breath before he arrived at the imperial study, we still did not come in with the corpse, but stayed outside." Gu Changming is also telling the truth.

The emperor sent a master to exterminate Qi Kunmen early in the morning, so Qu Jingshan, as a fish that slipped through the net, was able to subdue the law, which should be a blessing for the emperor. Why didn't the emperor's face show any joy, but a touch of sadness that was not easy to detect?

"Qu Jingshan received my secret order back then, went to Western Xia alone to create the Qi Kun Gate, and single-handedly became full of talents, and I received a lot of his benefits." Song Renzong smiled bitterly and said, "Just now Gu Wuduo said that the Jiuxiao Drum was created by you, and it can be regarded as a lot of ability over the years, but in my eyes, how can it be compared to Qujingshan?" ”

When Gu Wuduo was locked with iron locks, his face had not changed, and when he heard the emperor's words, his face suddenly became the color of the bottom of the pot. In the emperor's heart, not only could he not go to Qujingshan to compare, but he was actually compared to him!

"If the emperor thinks that Qu Jingshan has made outstanding contributions, why should he listen to my advice and order the extermination of Qi Kunmen?" Gu Wuduo was all kinds of unconvinced in his heart, and asked loudly with a sneer, "Could it be that in the eyes of the emperor, whether it is a hero or a rebel, the end is the same?" ”

"Gu Wuduo, you should be too presumptuous." General Etonium really couldn't listen to it from the side, how could the most calm and resolute person become so radical!

"I'm presumptuous, where do I have Qujingshan presumptuous, I said that I want to get rid of the emperor's self-reliance, and the far one is even more terrible, I kidnapped the emperor's favorite concubine, and I said I would leave, why did the emperor ignore it?" Gu Wuduo simply let go and said the deepest pain in the emperor's heart.

Song Renzong didn't answer immediately, but looked at the origin, didn't know how to look into the distance inexplicably, and seemed to be stirred up by Gu Wuduo's words, and didn't dare to think about it.

"Father!" This time, it was Gu Changming who spoke out to stop it, and the reason why Concubine Min left the palace at that time was different opinions, but no matter what you say, you shouldn't ask questions from your father's mouth today.

"What? Are you going to stop me from speaking the truth? Gu Wuduo seemed to have heard a big joke, and his smile was even bigger, but the bottom of his eyes condensed into ice.

"Hu Min'er made it easy for you to get acquainted before entering the palace, not only did you know each other, but she also lived in your house for a while." Song Renzong retracted his gaze and regained his indifference, "I was originally reluctant to mention the old things, the Si people have passed away, and there is no point in saying anything. However, I later learned that the Nine Heavens Drum was transmitted to you from Hu Min'er's mouth, and that you were able to carry it forward, which became a major problem for me. ”

Gu Wuduo didn't continue to laugh anymore, the emperor shouldn't know this, these are the secrets between him and Hu Min'er, not to mention the third person, it is his wife, Gu Changming's biological mother doesn't know, who is it, who leaked the news again!

"It's not surprising at all, I've just shown you the name on the bamboo slip, and maybe you'll defend Hu Min'er, and you'll say it's just a coincidence. I also hoped it was a coincidence, but alas, it wasn't. Song Renzong raised his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows, I don't know when it started, three heavy red marks appeared there, and they couldn't be kneaded, "After Hu Min'er entered the palace, she did too much, I'm afraid even you don't know." ”

Dai Mianshan was instructed by the emperor's gaze in a timely manner, bent over to the bookshelf, pushed open the books in the front row, and took out the case files behind: "Your Majesty, where are these placed?" ”

"On the table, it's okay." Song Renzong casually clicked on the seven or eight volumes of case files, "So many of them are all kinds of thoughtful plans and arrangements after Concubine Min entered the palace, and the words Jiuxiao Drum were mentioned three times and twice. ”

"Hu Min'er's entry into the palace was premeditated, and she is the inheritor of the Nine Heavens Drum Organization." Dai Mianshan experienced this incident in his own life back then, and he looked at Gu Wuduo, who was becoming more and more irritable, neither humbly nor arrogantly, "You acted in a high-profile manner back then, and you didn't leak a drop of water, only in this person, the negligence was too great." ”

"The emperor means that Hu Min'er entered the palace, no, it was also premeditated for her to live in my house!" Gu Wuduo seemed to have been hit in the head by Dai Mianshan with a stick, and the whole person almost couldn't stand, and it took two staggers to barely stabilize his body, "She took advantage of everyone!" ”
