Chapter 287: The Crown Princess's Suspicions

…… Although Gu Shao took out the queen mother and blocked Qiu Shuxia's mouth, it was not trivial for the monarch and the prince to be unable to treat things after all, and it was impossible for these courtiers to just stand by and watch - the court was noisy and shouting like a bazaar for most of the day, and finally decided to divide the troops into two ways to investigate the truth about Emperor Xianjia's critical illness and the prince's poisoning.

Of course, as for the specific investigators, everyone was determined after some debate: Jin Suke, He Wenqiong, and Huo Tan were responsible for figuring out whether Emperor Xianjia was harmed; And Qiu Shuxia, Wei Xi, and Huang Jingting went to the East Palace to "share worries and solve problems" for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Among these six people, Jin Suke is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, He Wenqiong is in charge of the Ministry of War, Huo Tan is the head of the Ministry of Industry, and Qiu Shuxia has presided over the Ministry of Rites for many years - since Liu Zhenxi was impeached by the Liu family seven years ago and was demoted to the rank of squire, the position of Shangshu has been vacant and has not been filled so far; Tobe Shoshu was the only neutral and therefore did not participate.

In addition to these two parts, they were all involved in the dispute, not to mention, it was Shangshu who ended up in person.

Although Wei Xi and Huang Jingting are not the six heavenly officials, the former is in charge of the Imperial Historical Observatory and is the most official; The latter is the Dali Temple and has the right to be punished.

It can be said that he is a high power, and he is responsible for the stability of the society!

Now that they have all stood up, it obviously means that the battle for the prince has reached the most intense moment!

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent, and Hubu Shangshu, who had never talked much, couldn't help but stand up, looked at Gu Shao and said: "The people are at peace, and it is advisable to fight quickly!" ”

Gu Shao understood what he meant, since Emperor Xianjia ascended the throne for 20 years, he knows people and makes good use of them, his politics is clear, and there is no shortage of capable ministers in the temple - not to mention Gu Shao himself, in fact, he does not fight intrigues, just talking about the ability to govern the country, the prince taught by the emperor himself is definitely not bad.

Although the emperor began to recuperate at the beginning of the year, and there was not good news with the crown prince, the country has been running as usual for most of the past half a year, and it has not been greatly affected by Emperor Xianjia's illness.

In other words, even if the emperor's father and son both have an accident, the world will not be chaotic for the time being.

The problem is that the people in the temple are close to the water and get the moon first, and they know it in their hearts, but the people below don't know it!

There is a way that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the outside only knows that the emperor and the prince are not good, although the emperor's eldest grandson has always said that he is very smart, very clever and filial, and has a very noble demeanor, but he is only eight years old!

Once the emperor and the crown prince have three longs and two shorts, what use can such a small emperor and grandson have?

Of course, the king of Zhongling County still has four uncles, but it is not a secret that the two kings of Wei and Zhao are vying for the crown prince, they will be working together to deal with the prince, but if the prince is gone, how can these two people not turn their faces immediately - who knows how long these two will pinch to decide the winner?!

Although Da Rui is now at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, he only killed a disobedient Wuhuan last year, which intimidated the neighbors of the four realms. However, just because the neighbors used to be well-behaved doesn't mean that they will always be well-behaved!

Therefore, at present, although the neutral faction represented by the head of the household department does not intend to intervene in the dispute between the princes, they also put forward a requirement for this key intrigue: it cannot be delayed!

The more the people are dragged, the more panicked they are, and the more panicked they are, the easier it is to be instigated - and what will happen if Li Shu is instigated, you don't need to think about it!

"That's right." Gu Shao stroked his long beard and smiled faintly, "Then it's limited to three days!" I think Qiu Shangshu and Huo Shangshu will not refuse the old man's proposal, after all, the two of them will not allow the old man to participate in your soldiers, the reason is precisely because the court needs to keep someone to preside over the overall situation - I hope that the six colleagues can work together and see every detail to find out the truth as soon as possible, which will not only solve the worries of the court, but also reassure the people of the society! ”

Qiu Shuxia raised her voice and said hesitantly: "Gu Xiang rest assured, we will do our best!" ”

Under the Danqi, the two purple robes raised their eyes at the same time, and their eyes suddenly sharpened when they looked at each other, like a blade out of the sheath, cold and sharp.

Half an hour later, the East Palace.

After listening to the little waiter who came to report the news first, the crown princess frowned slightly, and her expression was solemn: "Decide the winner within three days?" ”

"It's too late." Her henchman Shi Wan said worriedly, "After all, Your Majesty fell ill suddenly, we have nothing to prepare, if it weren't for Niangniang, you would have made a quick decision, I'm afraid that Your Highness would have ...... it."

"It's not a tight time, it's too long!" When the crown princess heard this, she shook her head and sighed, "You must know that Your Highness's greatest advantage is that you are in the position of the prince!" And it has been two days since the news of my father's critical illness - if it is delayed for another three days, who knows what will happen? It would not be strange if this deadline was proposed by Qiu Shuxia and the like, how could it come from the mouth of Gu Xiangzhi?! ”

Even ordinary people are seriously ill, and before they die, the doctor doesn't dare to talk nonsense, otherwise they will be looking for a smoke.

What's more, the monarch of a country is in danger of social safety, and if Emperor Xianjia's body does not deteriorate to a certain extent, the imperial doctors will definitely not and dare not confide in the tone of "critically ill" - so the crown princess calculates the time, and the emperor has been holding out for two days, maybe this will be on the verge of dying, so he specially discussed with Gu Shao and made trouble in the court, saying that he would let the ministers enter the Xuanming Palace to visit Emperor Xianjia!

Otherwise, Xuanming Palace is now controlled by the queen, although it is said that Jian Xubai is also in it under the banner of serving illness, but he is only one person in the end, in case Emperor Xianjia has died, he can't deliver the news in time, wouldn't he miss the opportunity for the prince to ascend the throne? !

Who knew that Gu Shao promised well, and indeed promoted a thorough investigation, but it was a "three-day limit"!

Rao is crown princess has always had a city government, and she will be a little annoyed in her heart: "Is this Gu Shao the prince's person?!" What is this doing! ”

Originally, this was an angry sentence, but after blurting it out, the crown princess's face changed slightly, "Gu Shao became a supreme minister twenty years ago, and it is rumored that he and Ah Xu's grandfather, Lao Yan Guogong, will intrigue and fight, which can be described as full of wits and amazing adaptability!" In the end, he said that he lost to Lao Yan Guogong, in fact, in addition to his father's bias in the middle, it also has something to do with Lao Yan Guogong's second son abandoning his original wife and returning to the Jin Emperor's aunt! Such a character, although he said that he has helped the prince everywhere since his recovery, seems to be meticulous in his cold and warmth, but ...... If he has shown the means in the past few months, how did he dominate the court back then?! ”

She quickly thought about it, Gu Shao's various measures since his recovery, and suddenly a chill was all over her body: the prince has been a prince for nearly twenty years, and his own cultural and martial arts are excellent even if they are not amazing, and there is also the premise that Emperor Xianjia is desperately pulling the bias, Gu Shao, a court giant who has not fallen into the court for twenty years after leaving the dynasty, actually let the East Palace fall into the current situation!

If the crown princess hadn't taken the crown prince this time, maybe the prince would have died unjustly in Xuanming Palace!

- In this case, if you still believe that Gu Shao is sincerely assisting the East Palace, the crown princess feels that she might as well take the king of Zhongling County to hang the southeast branch, so that she can retain the last of her dignity as a royal family!

"I thought that Gu Shao was the person who was personally kidnapped to the East Palace by his father, and he must be credible, but I didn't think he was the culprit!" After the crown princess confirmed Gu Shao's suspicion, she thought about the experience of the East Palace for more than half a year, and felt more and more like falling into an ice cellar, "When the second king of Wei and Zhao showed his ambition earlier, if he hadn't persuaded His Royal Highness to be patient, back down, and ignore it, would the second king An be able to grow so far?" How could the Imperial Aunt of the Acting Kingdom become more and more arrogant?! ”

From this point of view, where is Gu Shao the mainstay of the East Palace? It's the amulet of the East Palace at all!

If it weren't for the "assistance" of this famous minister, maybe the East Palace wouldn't have fallen into the current situation?

The crown princess felt that the whole person was not good when she thought of this-but she would never collapse!

After all, at present, the prince is still "uncleared" and unconscious; Concubine Cui is also sick in Xifu Palace; The Cui family is not a powerful minister, and now they can't say anything at all; The eldest son Zhong Ling under the knees of the two is also still young, if even the crown princess can't take care of it, the East Palace will really want to be mermaids!

"Quick!" The crown princess endured the dizziness in her head, grabbed Shiwan's hand, and commanded sharply, "The previous plan should be changed immediately - first get rid of all the human and physical evidence that was originally prepared and replace it with ......"

Shiwan didn't know that in this short moment, the crown princess had turned around in her heart, and she was surprised when she heard the words: "Go now?" But calculating the time, Qiu Shangshu and them are already on their way to the East Palace? This will change the rhetoric, how can you have the kung fu to confess to Wei Yushi later? And Gu Xiang's response ......"

The crown princess has already determined that Gu Shao is friend or foe, how dare she continue to use the previous rhetoric? Who knows if Qiu Shuxia and Huang Jingting had already been mentioned by Gu Shao, waiting for her to hand over the handle as evidence, so that the East Palace would be thrown into a catastrophe?!

Even her own father, Wei Xi, may not be reliable - the Wei family clearly showed the meaning of swaying earlier!

So without waiting for Shiwan to finish speaking, she said undoubtedly: "Shut up!" Hurry up and do it, otherwise this palace won't be able to spare you! ”

Shiwan was startled by her sudden ferocity, didn't dare to refute it anymore, blessed a blessing, said the word "yes", and ran out with her skirt to pass the word.

"That's not enough!" The crown princess bit her lip and thought quickly, "I was too defenseless against Gu Shao before, and there is basically nothing to hide from him in the East Palace - even if I change the plan temporarily, at most delay for a while, but Gu Shao's old puppet has given him three days!" With the power of the two kings of Wei and Zhao, what kind of evidence can't be obtained in three days?! It's just-it's just that even Gu Shao can't be trusted, will He Wenqiong and the others be loyal? I'm just a girl, and Zhong Ling is young, what should I do now!? ”

She suddenly thought of Jian Xubai, and suddenly regretted it, "I thought of Gu Shao's suspicion earlier, and I couldn't let Ah Xuan go to Xuanming Palace if I said anything at the beginning!" Counting the people under His Royal Highness's command, the only one I trust at the moment is Ah Xu! ”

After all, the contradiction between Jian Xubai and Jian Pingyu's ancestors and grandsons is destined to make it impossible for him to defect to his sister and descend to King Zhao of Jian Yiyu, and just looking at the words of the second king of Wei and Zhao, no matter how you look at it, the probability of King Zhao inheriting the throne is higher than that of King Wei, so even if he doesn't mention feelings, just about the benefits, Jian Xubai will be loyal to the prince!

But such a credible and usable person let the crown princess personally send it to Xuanming Palace - the most terrible thing is that Jian Xubai should not know Gu Shao's intentions, if Gu Shao takes advantage of this and starts with Jian Xubai and targets the East Palace, then?!

When the crown princess was anxious, in the Xuanming Palace, Queen Su and the eldest princess of the acting country were not easy!

"Ah Xu, follow King Zhao everywhere now?!" When the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help frowning deeply, "He is obviously on guard against us, and he deliberately dragged King Zhao as a pretense - the imperial sister-in-law quickly told King Zhao to get rid of him, don't get in the way of our affairs!" ”

Empress Su's face was very ugly: "You say I don't want to?" It's just that...... It's just that King Zhao is young and ignorant, and it's not good for me to say this kind of thing to him. ”

Her son was already taught to be upright, and the prince was slandered last time, if it weren't for Ji Guogong and Qiu Shuxia's clever tongue confusing right and wrong, he would have helped the prince debate to the end - not to mention cheating his own father?!

Although the queen is wholeheartedly planning for her son, the whole plan is not daring to say to him at all, so as not to cause trouble!

But the acting princess sneered: "Gu Shao said that it was limited to three days, but who knows if there are any hole cards in the East Palace?" The crown princess is young, but she is outstanding in terms of means, and no one can compare with her in the three generations of the Wei family, even the imperial sister-in-law, you are in the middle palace, and I am afraid that she will not be able to help her if she really fights - there is a saying that there are many dreams at night, but the more the imperial sister-in-law looks forward and backward at the critical juncture, and if it goes on like this, do we still want to live, let alone be rich?! ”

"......" Empress Su was silent for a while, and finally said, "I'll go and persuade King Zhao later, stay away from Ah Xu, so that you can arrange it!" ”

Only then did the eldest princess turn her anger into joy: "Don't wait for a while, let's go - the dust settles early, and we can relax our hearts sooner, right?" ”
