Chapter 10 Analysis
Fortunately, he was not, Gu Xi smiled slightly in his heart, and sat down cross-legged at the bottom of the tree, his black forehead hair rose softly with the wind, covering the eyes that were too deep and quiet, and said in a faint voice, "General Yun is trying to lure me into the game with this, or is he going to show me the sincerity of not using suspicious people and employing people?" β
Yun Yanzheng supported himself with one hand, blinked his eyes, and said slyly: "If you don't enter the game, how can you know that I am insincere; If I am not sincere, how can I succeed in my apprenticeship? β
Gu Xi didn't say a word about her ambiguous statement, picked up a volume of spy reports casually, and read it quickly. While he looked at it, he asked Yun Yanzheng some questions, and the questions seemed to be varied. Sometimes, after choosing to answer, he meditated and thought about it carefully, so that he could find out a little hidden veins in his thoughts, and those veins were like subtle textures in the leaves, interspersed with each other, and many calculations were mixed in them. She combed through it over and over again, and gradually some clues surfaced, and as his questions became more and more confused, almost every once in a while, she had to comb and calculate again.
However, Gu Xi, who was sitting opposite her, looked at the records in his hand as if nothing happened, only what he saw in his eyes and what he heard in his ears, he was able to quickly classify various contexts, and then interspersed and summarized them to form a large web of distinct characters and well-organized factions in his mind.
Compared with Gu Xi, Yun Yanzheng originally had more advantages, and he was already familiar with the appointment of officials in the DPRK and China, so he only needed to look through the trivial matters to find all kinds of clues. But although Gu Xi put down the pen after her, the handwriting on the paper was handsome and flying, Yun Yanzheng held the pen in his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he saw his wonderful pen and flowers, sprinkled with joy, all kinds of veins were clear and distinct, and all kinds of bright and dark lines seemed to be precocious in the chest, which made it completely impossible to imagine that this was the result he had just predicted from various espionage.
Yun Yanzheng's subordinates didn't pause, and according to their own guesses, they wrote down various personnel contexts and trends in the development of things.
From time to time, the two of them took a break and each held a piece of paper. Yun Yanzheng handed the scroll to the paper that Gu Xi had written, and after comparing the two compartments, she was surprised to find that what he had written was so clear and detailed.
Under the thick shade of the pear blossom tree, the golden sunlight of the afternoon penetrated through the branches and sprinkled on the two people sitting on the ground, faintly giving birth to a layer of dense light. Almost shoulder to shoulder, the black hair and white clothes, when the wind blows, the hair and clothes are flying and intertwined, forming an incomparably beautiful picture.
Yun Yanzheng frowned, his fingers tapped on the paper, and his heart was carefully deliberating on the various relationships he guessed. Sometimes it feels impossible to grow branches, but after Gu Xi saw her doubts, she explained a sentence or two on the side, but it appropriately pointed out the key points. When she pondered it carefully, she felt that what was hidden underneath the invisible suddenly surfaced at the touch of his touch, and she was amazed.
Compared with her fairly detailed vein, Yun Yanzheng held it in his hand with shame, and his slightly drooping eyes were suspicious, and he never understood what kind of thoughts he had in front of her in such an undisguised manner?
Gu Xi noticed the blush flashing on her face, lowered her eyes, and Zhong Ling's delicate eyes had a hint of a smile. Among the people he knows, her qualifications are among the best, and she has also figured out nine times out of ten about the context, although some small details have not been figured out, the general direction is also correct.
Yun Yanzheng carefully studied it, and he already had a plan in his heart, and sincerely asked for advice: "Brother Gu, in your opinion, where did the source of this bloody case come from? β
"As far as you see?" Gu Xi relaxed his body, leaned back against the pear blossom tree, and asked in a voice as light as the wind, but his eyes looked at the void in the distance.
She raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said helplessly: "From all kinds of signs and contexts, it can be traced...... Most likely, the people are pointing to King Yi. β
The crown prince Yun Yanlong has now ascended the throne as emperor.
The second prince, King Jing Yunyanxuan, had already sealed the vassal king as early as the first emperor, and now he is in the fiefdom of Jizhou.
The third prince, Heng Wang Yunyanjin, stayed in Beijing for treatment due to a cold disease in his legs, and was only crowned an idle prince, never paying attention to the political affairs of the court, and never making friends with the officials in the court. Only Chu Ruirong, the son of the Marquis of Zhenfang, who is now in charge of the forbidden army, has been a classmate since he was a child and has been his friend.
The fourth princess, Yun Yanzheng, was named the eldest princess of Fengwu after the new emperor ascended the throne. When she was the emperor, she had already commanded one-third of the army of the Ul Kingdom of Nine Heavens, and when the war began, she turned to the frontier; When the war was settled, he was stationed in Beijing.
The fifth prince Yi Wang Yunyanqi was a compatriot with the emperor's mother, and the queen mother was reluctant to go to a fiefdom for thousands of miles, so she asked the emperor to stay in the capital, and even found a position in the household department. As a prince, even he rarely had harmony with the emperor's compatriots and brothers, relying on the love of the queen mother, he repeatedly formed parties with officials of various ministries in the DPRK and the central government.
Gu Xi smiled lightly and sighed slowly: "Sometimes the most unlikely person is the most likely person. The breeze blew across the ground, and the strands of his hair swept through his unfathomable depths, making it impossible to see the meaning and even more mysterious. The white clothes are like clouds reflecting the smile on the corner of his lips, and he is as bright as a beautiful epiphany in the middle night, which is extraordinarily bright and distinct.
Yun Yan's eyes condensed slightly, what do you mean by this? What is the referent? The second emperor brother Yun Yanxuan, the third emperor brother Yun Yanjin, or is she Yun Yanzheng?
"It's not difficult to find this person, there will be a wizard with a lot of knowledge by his side." He leisurely threw out a clue, did not wait for Yun Yanzheng to respond, and said leisurely: "In these news of the coexistence of truth and falsehood, it seems that this person is very likely to be King Yi, and in the eyes of people with ulterior motives, it may not be King Heng and Princess Fengwu?" β
Yun Yanzheng suddenly heard him mention his title, and the corner of his eye swept over his cheeks, and then he was indifferent.
"Before the incident, King Heng and Princess Fengwu were not in Gyeonggi, which can also be said to be to avoid becoming suspects and leave Beijing under the pretext of leaving Beijing. King Heng and the eldest princess have a great friendship, and it is not impossible for the two to join forces. The eldest princess owns one-third of the military power of the kingdom, and if she wants to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, the Nine Heavens Ride is her strongest backing. Although King Heng has never befriended officials in the court, he has traveled abroad for many years, who knows that he will not use the name of travel to attract foreign forces to secretly build momentum for himself? His friendship with Princess Fengwu has also become his barrier and dependence. His voice came lightly, and Yun Yanzheng's heart was pounding, and his words whipped her thoughts like facts.
"The goals and objectives of the conspirator are not yet clear, but they can develop into the direction he needs at any time, and it is possible to develop whatever is beneficial to him. On the contrary, if the military power in the hands of Princess Fengwu is used to support His Majesty, then it will be an eyesore for the conspirators, and if she can be removed, even if it only makes His Majesty suspicious, it is a kind of strategy. King Heng has been bound in the capital and has no official position, which shows that His Majesty is extremely wary of him. If someone had offered an opportunity, there would have been no need for the conspirators to act in person, and His Majesty would not necessarily have let go of the opportunity to kill him. He methodically analyzed all kinds of possibilities and thoughts, such conspiracy theories, bloody killings, but in his mouth seemed to be as light as a cloud, without the slightest emotion.
There was even a smile in his eyes that was as merciless as ice and snow.
He spoke freely, his eyes seemed to be above everything, looking down on the fate of everyone in Gyeonggi, and the prophecy seemed to tell the direction in which things might develop.
Yun Yanzheng unexpectedly felt a little depressed in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "You are not worried about King Heng at all?" Aren't you close friends? β
In Gu Xi's extremely heavy black eyes, the smile stretched out like a floating cloud, and he said softly: "Gu Mou must be able to give up everything that can be given up and everything that cannot be abandoned. What's more, where does the relationship with the royal people come from? General Yun is just joking. β
Yun Yan was speechless, her eyes were complicated, she couldn't find a reason to refute him, and even some agreed. What's more, after listening to what the third brother said, not only did she not blame Gu Xi for being indifferent, but she was a little relieved, and her voice couldn't help but soften, and she said tentatively: "Since Brother Gu can smell one and know ten, and even know a hundred, he must have heard about the important case of Yuecheng on the road, why did he go to Beijing with the prince and fall into the predicament of these hurricanes and waves?" β
The doubt in her heart, why did this person clearly know that Yuecheng would be full of conspiracy, but still get involved in it?
"Dilemma?" Gu Xi murmured disapprovingly, and after hearing the slightest trace of concern in her words, he paused slightly, collected the smile in his eyes, and said in a low and tactful voice like a spring water: "I just want to know what I can't do." β
There was no hint of laughter in his words, Yun Yanzheng's brows were pursed, and he said lightly with a smile: "I hope Brother Gu, you will not be cocooned and self-bound, but you will be mistaken by your cleverness!" Her tone was not sarcastic, but sullen, and she was so confident that she couldn't help but feel resentful.
Gu Xi frowned slightly, as if he looked at her with some puzzlement, for a long time, but his eyes gradually warmed like spring water, like a trickle after the ice and snow melted, moistening into the tenderness of people's hearts. His eyes were as clear as water, as clear as glass, and he smiled softly: "General Yun is worried about me?" β
Yun Yanzheng was momentarily moved when he faced his smile, but after seeing that his gentleness was deliberately created, he shook his head. She also raised a smile in her eyes that rejected people thousands of miles away, and said casually: "It seems that I am too worried, with Brother Gu's intelligence, even if he is regarded as a fellow party of the prince and a rebellious person, there must be a way to get out." β
