Gu Shao said tepidly: "Your Majesty, Jian Likuang is too widely involved, so I can't investigate him clearly." However, it would be unfair to suspect him solely on the basis of his minister's one-sided words. The minister thought that it would be better to send a person who had won the trust of His Majesty, and who was shrewd and careful, to secretly probe to see if he had anything to do with smallpox! ”

Emperor Duanhua groaned: "Then it's better to take care of the prime minister, there is a way that one guest does not bother the two masters......"

"Your Majesty, this matter can't be done!" Gu Shao reminded a little helplessly, "Jian Lezhi, the father of Jian Likuang, was once a political enemy of each other with his ministers!" The minister will suspect Jian Likuang without evidence, it is already a big matter, and knowing that His Majesty is tolerant, he spoke rashly. Now if you want to prove the suspicion of the minister, then the minister must avoid suspicion! Otherwise, when he privately told Ru Jinguo, the eldest princess and others, how could he convince the public? ”

Happiness is the word of simplicity and pleasure.

Emperor Duanhua thought about it, thought for a moment, and muttered: "I thought that the third brother had rested for the past few days, and I expected that the injuries should be all healed, but I just happened to take over this matter!" It's just that the third brother has provoked the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom to dislike it before, but this will have to check the uncle and cousin, so that the imperial aunt knows, maybe he will be angry again! ”

The emperor pulled a list of commonly used people in his heart: Gu Shao wanted to avoid suspicion; King Liang is not very suitable; Jane and white are blooming; Lu Yicheng was involved in smallpox again. Exhaust; Yuan Xuepei is involved with Jian Xubai and his wife, and he should avoid suspicion for taking care of Shao and ruling out his own reasons; He Wenqiong, Jin Suke and others were only looking forward to Gu Shao when they seized the crown......

So, who should he send?

"What does Gu Xiang think of my father-in-law?" Emperor Duanhua thought about it for a while, and finally thought of a suitable candidate: although Wei Xi was also under Gu Shao's command when he seized the prince, he was not as enthusiastic about Gu Shao as He Wenqiong and Jin Suke; Second, this is the queen's father in the end, and he has a special status.

Gu Shao did not hesitate: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

He really thinks that Emperor Duanhua is a good candidate - Wei Xi is Empress Wei's father, but what about Gu Shao? It's the teacher of Empress Wei's own son!

With the shrewdness of the queen, as long as Gu Shao passes through the wind a little, Empress Wei naturally understands how to mention her mother's father!

- Old opponent, I will take good care of your majesty, as for you, let's go quietly!

Gu Shao, who dug a pit for Jian Pingyu, hid his name and walked out of the palace without panic.

When he returned to the courtyard where he lived, he saw the housekeeper pacing anxiously in the court, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master! ”

"What's the matter?" Gu Shao asked while taking off the soft curtain, taking out the handkerchief and wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"Bo's mother came with news from there, saying that the bell had not started, but she couldn't help but test her, so she suspected that something was wrong!" The butler walked a few steps, took the soft curtain from his hand, and whispered as he accompanied him into the house, "I just sent someone to ask what we should do?" ”

Gu Shao's face sank when he heard this, but he didn't panic, he just said calmly: "I know!" Tell her not to rush, this matter will not make a big fuss! ”

"But Mother Bo suspects that the bell voted for Mrs. Yan Guo." The butler said worriedly, "If that's the case, with Mrs. Yanguo's cleverness, I'm afraid that even if she can't guess us, she will be vigilant - it will be difficult to succeed in the future!" ”

"If it's hard to get it, don't do it!" Gu Shao sneered, took the tea he handed over, took a sip, and said peacefully, "Do you really have to kill that Song family?" ”

Seeing that the housekeeper didn't know why, he shook his head, "I don't have any grudges with the Song family, speaking of which, she is also Ji Nan's bloodline, I want to kill her seriously, and when I go back and see Ji Nan, I can't say that I have to ask for a crime, in the end, the Song family's heirs are thin, and they are granddaughters, and Ji Nan will definitely be reluctant to lose it." The reason why I sent you to find the old slave of the Bo family this time is just to show Jian Likuang! ”

The housekeeper didn't want to persuade Gu Shao to make persistent efforts to kill Song Yixiao, he was just worried: "But if Mrs. Yan Guo knew about this, how could she not retaliate?" ”

"Then she also wants to believe that I am the mastermind!" Gu Shao sneered, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, this time, how can the pot be carried by Jian Likuang!" ”

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If Mother Bo sends someone over there again, the old slave will be driven out directly - what identity and status do you have, master, it's too late to take care of everything, and you dare to disturb an old maid?" It's just unruly! ”

…… In the afternoon of the same day, Bo's mother really sent someone to ask for countermeasures again, and after being driven away, she went back to Bo's mother, how did Bo's mother not know that Gu Shao was going to abandon her?

For a while, the six gods were ownerless: "Although the eldest lady doesn't like to take the initiative like the princess, she is not far behind when she kills decisively!" If she wants to know that I have betrayed her, how can she spare me? ”

I was afraid of Song Yixiao, but also hated Gu Shao, "This old thing instigated me to murder the eldest lady, and when I heard that the bell was against the water, I retreated, and the dignified prime minister was so cowardly, it was just a waste!" ”

Bo's mother was so anxious here that she didn't mention it, Wei Xi was very surprised after receiving the messenger, because of the swaying when seizing the prince, although the Wei family had a queen, whether it was Emperor Duanhua or Empress Wei, they were not affectionate.

Even if the little prince who landed last time when Empress Wei was gone, Wei Xi's wife Tian specially entered the palace to comfort her daughter, although the relationship between the two sides was greatly eased, but in the end it was not possible to eliminate all the estrangement.

This Emperor Duanhua suddenly confessed the secret envoy - this kind of envoy is generally handed over to the trustworthy person to do - Wei Xi was a little frightened in addition to the accident, for fear that it would make the two parties who were not close to each other worse even worse.

So after thinking about it for a while, I immediately went to Tian's family: "We don't know the cause and effect of this matter, so how to find out the law, you have to go to the palace and ask the mother!" ”

"But the second prince was gone before, and now the palace is not allowed to enter and leave casually, and I don't know if the mother is willing to see me?" Tian was in a dilemma, but he heard the people below tell him that Wei Yinlian had returned.

Wei Yinlian came here to bring a message from his sister, and after taking care of his face, he was not verbose, and said directly: "My sister just sent someone to bring me snacks with a message, saying that Jian Pingyu has been very restless recently, and now Gu Xiang, who is in charge, is very worried about this, so much so that he has to be distracted when giving lectures to His Royal Highness the Prince!" If it goes on like this, what should I do if I delay His Royal Highness the Prince's homework? ”

Speaking of which, Wei Xi still doesn't know what the queen means?

Gu Shao, as the teacher personally assigned to the prince by the first emperor, has both glory and loss with the prince - as the prince's relatives, who does the Wei family help?

So Wei Xi rolled up his sleeves and checked for two days, and then went to tell Emperor Duanhua: "This time the smallpox incident is indeed related to Lao Yan Guogong and Jian Likuang!" ”

He didn't mention Jian Yiyou, the reason is very simple, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom doesn't like the concubine Jian Likuang, but she is not bad for her son Jian Yiyu.

Since Gu Shao's main purpose is to kill Jian Pingyu, he can't afford to offend the eldest princess who is highly respected by the emperor for this.

Sure enough, Emperor Duanhua was very acceptable to this result, he took the case and asked, "Can the cause and effect be investigated?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister knows a thing or two!" Wei Xixin said that if it weren't for the sake of making up a good story, I would have known who the real culprit should be before I checked it, as for whether it would take two days to come?

He and his confidants combined with Empress Wei's request, considered the reactions of all parties, and sorted out the "truth" like this: Jian Likuang was partial to the eldest son and hated the younger son, but Jian Pingyu passed the title to the younger son, which made him very dissatisfied.

Therefore, taking advantage of Jian Pingyu's return to his hometown and staying away from the imperial capital, he deliberately fabricated all kinds of evil deeds of his young son Jian Xubai, distorted the facts in front of his father, reversed black and white, and tried his best to discredit him.

And Jian Pingyu didn't expect his son to cheat his grandson like this, and he didn't believe it much at first, but the grandson has been separated for more than ten years, and it has been a long time, Jian Pingyu really thinks that Jian Xubai is a gentleman who does all kinds of evil, and in order to correct the family style, he must clean up the door!

"The old man is not as frantic as Jian Likuang, and he never thought of poisoning his relatives and grandchildren." When playing the right game, he must take the initiative to pick up for Jian Pingyu, this was reminded of him by Wei Xi's staff, of course, this is not for Jian Pingyu's good, but to prove Wei Xi's fairness and integrity, and he definitely did not attack him because his grandson's teacher was Jian Pingyu's political enemy.

And it is also because Jian Pingyu used to be a very popular minister, and he also found a duke of the country - if he was the one who masterminded his great-granddaughter with smallpox, then if it was passed out, how could Li Shu not question the eyesight of the imperial court?

Tiger poison doesn't eat children, such an inhuman old guy, he actually let him be the prime minister, where are the eyes of the court? !

At this time, the top cylinder can only be Jian Likuang - first, his official position is not high, and he only relies on his father's shadow to enter the office; Second, it is no secret that he was disgusted by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom. Pulling him out will neither affect the credibility of the court, nor offend the powerful, just no matter how good it is!

So Wei Xi poured the dirty water on Jian Likuang's head to his heart's content, "It's just that after listening to Jian Likuang's various instigations, I became bored with Yan Guogong, and thought of finding an opportunity to go to the table, and the third son of Jian would inherit the title instead!" But Your Majesty, what do you know, what is the character of Yan Guogong, who of us in the imperial capital does not know? Therefore, it is okay for the old prince not to send people to the imperial capital to go to the table, as soon as he sends someone to come, he will know the truth after a little inquiry, and at that time, how can the old prince support the third prince of Jian again? I can't say that I have to call Jian Likuang back and reprimand him! ”

Then it was logical, "Jian Li heard that the old man was already writing and considering the book, for fear that the truth would be exposed, so the dog jumped under the wall in a hurry, and actually made a rebellious move to murder his own parent-child family!! ”

- Jian Likuang's knees have a total of two sons, once Jian Xubai's whole family is dead, Jian Pingyu knows what his son has done, so he can't only help him hide it, and let Jian Yiyu, who is supported by Jian Likuang, inherit the title, right?

It makes sense for this story to come to this point - but because Wei Xi didn't know a lot of inside information, or he implied that the emperor himself didn't know a lot of inside information, Emperor Duanhua didn't think so!

"How can Jian Likuang have such courage?!" After the emperor waved back Weixi, he smashed the paperweight, pen mountain and other things on the case to vent, Fang sat back in the imperial chair, and muttered with heavy eyes, "It must be Jian Pingyu's old thing...... The old guy didn't cultivate his own internal affairs, if it wasn't for the emperor's aunt to intercede, and for the future of the two cousins, how could it be so cheap? ! Now you still dare to come out and make trouble-is it really good for me to bully?! ”

He settled down and summoned the inner attendant, "Go and invite the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom, and say that I want to invite the imperial aunt into the palace to visit the imperial grandmother!" ”
