Chapter 393: Powerful Minister's Scheming

Old Madam Duanmu and Jian Limiao's plan was not mentioned, Song Yixiao here, after guessing the truth that Shao wanted to kill her to no avail, she didn't bother to dwell on this issue - concentrate on thinking about how to deal with it.

said that he was concentrating on pondering, but in fact, Song Yixiao's current situation could not do much except raise his vigilance.

In the end, Gu Shao's high power and deep trust and reliance of Emperor Duanhua, without evidence, rashly pointing out a pillar of the country like him is not a joke.

"When will the husband and Qingyue get along?" Song Yi smiled and sighed as he looked at the empty courtyard.

She still thinks that Jian Xubai and Jian Qingyue are recovering slowly, who wants to come the next day There will be bad news: the second prince is gone!

Emperor Duanhua has a total of two princes under his knees, although he is very satisfied with the crown prince, in order to prevent his brothers from falling into trouble, he has always behaved estranged and does not pay attention to the second prince - but after all, he is his own flesh and blood, not to mention that his sons are not so many that they can die casually and don't care.

Hearing the news, Emperor Duanhua was very sad, the second prince was different from the little prince who disappeared last year, and the little prince was gone as soon as he landed. Father and son have never met each other, let alone get along with each other. At that time, Emperor Duanhua was very sad about the death of Emperor Xianjia, and naturally there was not much attention to be given to this son.

He was more concerned about Empress Wei at that time.

And although the second prince is only seven years old, he has grown under his nose to the age where he can run, jump and shout "Father", which is the time to be cute.

Emperor Duanhua was afraid that the royal brothers would kill each other, so he had been deliberately snubbing him, and many times the second prince timidly pulled the corners of his clothes, as if he wanted his father to hug him, and Emperor Duanhua saw it and pretended not to see it: I thought that this was for the good of this child, to ensure that he would be rich and free in the future, who would think that this child would be gone if he said no-when he was a father and remembered again, the poor child had never had the slightest kindness in his life except in his infancy, how could he not feel guilty?

In order to break the rumors that he disrespected his mother-in-law, he had been personally serving the Empress Dowager Su for the past few days, but after hearing the news, he went back to his dormitory without even saying hello, which shows that the degree of grief in his heart has reached the point of gaffe.

Seeing this situation, the Empress Dowager Su asked Empress Wei to retire as well, and although the Empress Dowager was rescued, her throat was hurt.

This will not make a sound, just pointed out the door and motioned for the queen to follow and take a look - the queen was indeed worried, confessed her guilt, left Shiwan to serve on her behalf, and retired.

It's just that she chased down Emperor Duanhua, and after talking for a while, Emperor Duanhua was still depressed, and finally the Empress Dowager received the news and rushed over in person, holding Emperor Duanhua's hand and chatting for most of the day, and Emperor Duanhua regained his strength.

And the first thing Emperor Duanhua did when he cheered up was to summon Gu Shao and inquire about the progress of the investigation.

After learning that Gu Shao hadn't found out the results yet, Emperor Duanhua immediately frowned: "Gu Xiang has always had a talent for the heavens and the earth, why has he been delayed for so long this time, and he has no clue?" ”

Emperor Duanhua is not a strict emperor, to be fair, he has always been kind, and even when he talks to the attendants around him, he is kind and angry. Especially Gu Shao is still the auxiliary minister that Emperor Xianjia specially found for him, and this is a very serious matter at the moment.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the main reason is that Lu Yicheng was self-conscious before. As abrupt as possible, the rest of the Lu family didn't know anything, which delayed the progress. Gu Shao knew why the emperor didn't give himself face like before today, and whoever died his son would not be in a much better mood.

But he also can't say it because he is bitter - that day Jian Likuang suddenly came to visit, because he had to give a lecture to the crown prince, and he received a thorough investigation of smallpox, he was too busy to be busy, how could he have the time to see a colt who fell out of favor with the eldest princess?

So I very simply refused.

Jian Likuang originally listened to Jian Yiyu's persuasion, and just wanted to find out Gu Shao's style, and he didn't plan to reveal the news from his side to him at all. But he never expected Gu Shao to refuse to see him!

In this way, not only for the sake of gambling, but also to try to see if the handle was true or false, he said something to the butler who came out to refuse the guest that he did not intend to say.

The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and went back to Gu Shao - just as when Su Shaoge ordered someone to send the voucher to Jian Yiyu, he didn't expect that the whole process would be seen by Jian Limiao and Old Lady Duanmu; Gu Shao didn't expect that this time it was the Su family who directly collected the evidence of his bribery, he saw that it was Jian Likuang who came to the door, but he said that it was Jian Likuang's father, Jian Pingyu!

To be honest, Gu Shao did not lose his heart in receiving the Lu family's gift industry.

First, it is to appease the hearts of orphans and widows, after all, the remaining people in the Song family are inconvenient to walk around in front of Gu Shao, and if there is less movement, the affection will naturally be weak. The Lu family has no other place to serve Gu Shao, so they can only give money - if Gu Shao doesn't accept it, maybe she thinks that Gu Shao thinks that their mother and son are cumbersome, and she can't say that she has to toss and turn, and she can't sleep for a long night;

Second, considering that the Song family is extremely wealthy, the Lu family is a young widow who has never been out of the door, and her only son is young, so she may not be able to keep many properties, thinking that since this will be sent by the Lu family, then accept it first, send someone to take care of it, and wait for Song Yiyao to grow up and be the master of the house, and then return it.

This can be regarded as a roundabout way to preserve the ancestral business for the deceased friend.

Gu Shao is not afraid to talk about these two reasons, with his care for Song Yuan over the years, no one can deny that he really has nothing to say to his friends!

However, Lu orchestrated the assassination of Wei Mengying.

If there is only such a problem, Gu Shao can still grasp it if he thinks about it.

What's terrible is that in order to retreat after assassinating Wei Mengying, the Lu family also killed his mother-in-law and made her mother-in-law a scapegoat!

That's a big problem!

The daughter-in-law kills the mother-in-law, which is called murder.

Just by looking at the wording, you can see how angry this move is!

And Gu Shao, knowing that the Lu family had done such a heartbreaking thing, still chose to shelter her - if this handle was put in Song Yixiao's hands, Gu Shao would not be worried: once Song Yixiao was a housewife, Gu Shao would not say that he looked down on her completely, after all, he was afraid of limited; Second, Song Yixiao pursued this matter, and the focus must be on avenging his mother, rather than fighting to the death with Gu Shao.

But now that Gu Shao suspects that the person holding these handles of himself is Jian Pingyu, then the degree of vigilance and worry is different!

As a former defeated subordinate, he was very aware of Jian Pingyu's ability, so after misunderstanding that the evidence in Jian Likuang's hand that he had privately accepted the Lu family's gift of property was from Jian Pingyu, it was difficult for Gu Shao not to suspect that Jian Pingyu had already found out what the Lu family had done by the way!

With his understanding of Jian Pingyu, since he dares to send his son to have a showdown with him, he must be sure enough to control himself!

Under such inference, Gu Shao chose to fight back without hesitation - as Jian Limiao speculated, with the help of the internal contradictions of the Jian family, he sent his old opponent on the road!

In Gu Shao's view, this matter is related to his political future, the future of the entire Gu family, and even more related to his evaluation in the history of this life.

So, where did he get the mind to find out who did smallpox?

It's too late to kill an old opponent with a full mind of how to trap it!

At this moment, while replying, he tentatively proposed, "But...... Although there is no evidence at the moment, the minister has an idea! ”

Emperor Duanhua frowned and said, "Gu Xiang, please speak!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Liang has said that this matter may be related to the two kings of Suxiang, and the minister will also think so." Gu Shao said, "After all, for no reason, who would do such a heartbreaking act?" But two days ago, there was a person who insisted on visiting the minister in private, and the minister remembered that he had a great relationship with Yan Guogong, but he was too worried, so he made an exception to see it, but the person saw the minister and inquired about some things, but the minister couldn't help but be suspicious! ”

"Who is this man?" Emperor Duanhua had already guessed it, but he still asked.

Sure enough, Gu Shao lowered his head, looking inconvenient to say more: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is the father of Yan Guogong, Jian Likuang!" ”

Emperor Duanhua's face was ugly: "You doubt him?" ”

The minister just thought it was very strange, when Jian Likuang asked to see him, he claimed to care about Yan Guogong's family - but he and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom were husband and wife, and Yan Guogong's family now lived in another courtyard, but if there was any movement, it would be reported to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess immediately. If he really wanted to know the details, why should he go to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? After all, how can the minister's concern for Yan Guogong be compared to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess? ”

Gu Shao said in a fifteen-ten, "Of course, the minister has also heard that Jian Likuang has angered Her Royal Highness the eldest princess a lot in the past, and there is not harmony between her and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. However, now is an extraordinary time, the blood of the two relatives has encountered a great disaster, and so far the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, and the parents should work together to be the backing of their children, right? Why is it that Jane is far away from the wilderness and seeks the near and far away, and finds the minister? ”

"Of course, maybe he really cares about Yan Guogong's family, but he is urging the minister to find out the real murderer as soon as possible!"

"But many of the things he asked at the time, according to the minister, were trying to convince the minister that the Lu family was the real murderer!"

When Gu Shao said this, he saw that Emperor Duanhua's face was already as black as paint, and he lowered his head and stopped his voice when he covered the calculations that flashed in his eyes.

Jian Xubai almost died in Wuhuan back then, how could Emperor Duanhua not know? The emperor clearly endured his anger before he gritted his teeth and said, "Spread the simple and leave the wilderness!" ”

"Your Majesty, no!" When Gu Shao heard this, he hurriedly stopped - what are you kidding? He only said that Jian Pingyu was now willing to calculate whether he had intentions or not, and prepared a net waiting for him, how could he dare to let the emperor call Jian Likuang to confront him?

Thinking that he had ignored his old opponent and had fallen into passivity, Gu Shao believed that his biggest advantage at the moment was that Jian Pingyu was far away in Sangzi, and the remote command of Jian Likuang and Jian Yiyu father and son was not as flexible as his personal change in Cuihua Mountain.

Therefore, if he wants to send his old opponent to Huangquan, but he is not harmed, then he must fight fast and slow, and strike first before Jian Pingyu really attacks!

At this moment, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty! Jian Likuang is the husband of the eldest princess and the father of Yan Guogong after all! The minister is only speculating, and there is no evidence. You directly sent him to ask him like this, and when you asked if it was not, it was the minister who instigated their father-son relationship! Your Majesty, you also know that Jian Likuang has always favored the eldest son and is quite estranged from Yan Guogong, so wouldn't it make the situation worse between their father and son?! If it is passed out, it will also damage His Majesty's wisdom! ”

As a new monarch who is still trying to improve his prestige and prestige, listening to the wind is rain or something, or not!

Seeing that Emperor Duanhua heard this, his face was groaning.

Gu Shao knew that this emperor was as coaxing as ever, so he made persistent efforts, "What's more, once you ask it, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has a gap with Jian Likuang, she is a husband and wife in the end!" Two days ago, the Empress Dowager's actions have made Cuihua Mountain talk about it, and His Majesty has served the Empress Dowager for several days in front of the bed, so that the rumors have been reversed. If this will dispose of Jian Likuang again, but what will everyone think? ”

"After all, Princess Su is the pearl of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and everyone in the government and the opposition knows about it!"

"At that time, maybe the former dynasty and the harem will think that His Majesty has a deep knot in his heart for the second king of Suxiang, and he has already transferred his anger to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Emperor Duanhua gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Xiang doesn't have to worry! My aunt I know that the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom has been tired of Jian Likuang for a long time, if she knew that he did such a heartbreaking act, it would mean that I would spare Jian Likuang, and the imperial aunt would never agree! ”

This Gu Shao believed it, but his purpose was to send Jian Pingyu on the road instead of killing a mere Jane Likuang!

So he said with a straight face: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom understands the righteousness, and the ministers also know!" The problem is that the minister also heard that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is a model of motherhood, and she loves her children, including her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, very much and tolerant! ”

"Jian Likuang and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have a weak relationship with her husband and wife, and she doesn't have any fatherly affection for Yan Guogong, but Rong Chen tells the truth, he is very good to Jian Sangongzi - Jian Sangongzi also respects him very much!"

"If this matter is out of trouble, how should the third son of Jian deal with himself?"

"The third prince of Jian is embarrassed, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom sees it in her eyes, how can she not feel distressed?"

"However, Yan Guogong's grievances, I believe that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will not ignore it!"

"There is a saying that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, but at that time, what should I do if I call Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who is sandwiched between the two sons?"

These words reached the heart of Emperor Duanhua, as mentioned earlier, the emperor remembered his eldest aunt and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom very well, and even the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom slapped his only half-brother in front of him, he didn't stop him, and helped kick King Liang several times.

It shows his respect for this aunt.

So if it's just for Jian Likuang and Jian Yiyou, Emperor Duanhua doesn't care.

This so-called uncle and cousin have never gotten along with him, and they are said to be relatives, and their feelings are really limited.

In the face of the revenge of killing the son, where is such a little affection enough?

But Gu Shao immediately hesitated when he mentioned the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Emperor Duanhua: "Last year, my father and the emperor died, and the imperial aunt and grandmother were both very sad, and the degree of sadness was by no means below me!" So much so that in the first month of this year, the imperial aunt didn't bother to hold a birthday! Speaking of which, the imperial aunt is also a grandmother, if it weren't for Ping'an'er's special situation, she would have to be a great-grandmother! Even judging from the last time the imperial aunt beat the third brother, her body is still quite tough, but if you have to worry about her sons again, I don't know if I can stand it? ”

Gu Shao waited silently.

After a long time, Emperor Duanhua finally came to ask from Emperor Duanhua: "According to Gu Xiang, how should this matter be handled?" ”
