Chapter 534: The Fire Pit
An Zheng looked at the Templar General in front of him, who could be said to be an acquaintance, but had almost no contact. In the memory of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Gu Jiuxi is a strong and confident respectable woman, and her story is an inspirational legend that can move many people in Daxi.
"General. ”
An Zheng clasped his fists and saluted back: "I am no longer the head of the Great Ximing Law Division, and I am no longer Fang Zheng, the general really doesn't need to be polite." ”
Gu Jiuxi shook his head: "The world is ignorant, and everyone is the same. The Holy Court sent a proclamation, and nine out of ten people in the world believed that your lord had committed treason. The remaining one-tenth of the people are the ones who know you as adults. If I say, in the face of the pros and cons of life and death, the two people in this world who are most unlikely to betray Daxi and betray the Holy Emperor are the Holy Emperor himself, and the second is you. ”
An Zheng shook his head: "Haven't I already left Daxi now, so there are no absolutes in the world." ”
Gu Jiuxi: "There is an absolute...... Even if you leave Daxi, you still won't betray Daxi. ”
An Zheng: "Yes." ”
Gu Jiuxi frowned slightly: "Why?"
An Zheng: "Maybe it's not accurate to use the word betrayal, but now I don't have any ties to Daxi." ”
Gu Jiuxi suddenly said: "I understand, if it were me, I was afraid that it would be more intense than you." Think about it, if I dedicated half my life to Daxi, I gave almost everything, but in the end I was calculated by the traitor and almost died, but Daxi also announced to the world that I was treasonous...... Don't say it's a country, even if my mother treats me like this, I won't go back. ”
An Zheng smiled: "So, why did you come to see me?"
Gu Jiuxi: "I originally wanted to persuade you to go back, but now I don't want to." Everything should be empathized, put yourself in your shoes, and then put yourself in your own shoes after thinking about it, and ask yourself if you can do it. If you can't do it yourself, you don't have to force others to do it. ”
This was the first time he had face-to-face contact with Gu Jiuxi, and he had some respect for Gu Jiuxi, but after talking at this time, he found that this was really a rare woman with a frank mood. Looking at the world, such women are only rare. Looking at the world, such men are just as rare.
Gu Jiuxi said, "My lord, what are your next plans?"
An Zheng: "Travel the world and do what you wanted to do before but couldn't do." ”
Gu Jiuxi was silent for a while and then said, "Actually, I came to the Immortal Palace this time, and I came here secretly. Originally, I wanted to find the person named Ouyang Duo from the Law Department to help me investigate a case, but now that I have met an adult, then I have a reluctant request, can you help me analyze a matter. ”
An Zheng nodded: "You say." ”
Gu Jiuxi briefly recounted the attack on Chen Wunuo, and then said some of his own speculations. This includes Prince Chen Chongqi, the Holy Church that has just been established for less than two years, and the Ming Law Division, which is already much inferior to the previous one. After An Zheng heard this, his face changed, and his brows furrowed: "The Holy Emperor was assassinated? This thing sounds like a joke...... But when you think about it, it's no longer a joke, and I shudder. ”
Gu Jiuxi hurriedly asked, "Did the adults think of something?"
An Zheng asked rhetorically: "It's impossible for you to think of such a simple thing, but you don't dare to admit it when you think of it, right?"
Gu Jiuxi was silent for a while, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Now this matter has been spread in Daxi, and it has only been a few dozen days, and almost the entire people in Daxi are almost aware of the attack on the Holy Emperor." Everyone is furious and wants to know who is behind it. The people will not think that the assassination itself is unreasonable......"
An Zheng: "I'm wondering why he handed this over to you. ”
Gu Jiuxi shook his head: "I don't know either." ”
A terrible thought appeared in An Zheng's mind, but there was no evidence, just speculation, so it was difficult for him to say it. Imagine...... The Great Xi Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo is going to make a big move this time, even if he uses his son Chen Chongqi as a breakthrough, but it is those big families who have suffered huge losses. An Zheng speculated that once Chen Wunuo started to make a move, the Holy Court would have to get rid of at least one-third of the people, and almost one-third of the mainstream families of Daxi would also be implicated now. And once Chen Chongqi is convicted of rebellion, then none of his accomplices can escape, and they are all raiding their homes and destroying their homes.
When the time comes, the remaining two-thirds will really be clean? No matter how confident Chen Wunuo was, he didn't dare to exchange blood for the Holy Court entirely. An Zheng understands Chen Wunuo, and he also understands human nature, and one-third is already the limit. Once it exceeds half, then Daxi will inevitably be in chaos.
Chen Wunuo wants to replace one-third of the family and people, how can he appease the remaining two-thirds? These big families are intertwined, and basically there is nothing that is not linked. So, Chen Wunuo had to make himself look like he had lost a lot as well.
Chen Wunuo has three bottom lines that cannot be touched, one is his position as the Holy Emperor, the second is his woman, and the third is the house where the world is destitute. The position of the Holy Emperor cannot be moved, and the end of the world is a secret, so the only one who can move is his own woman. But is it possible for Chen Wunuo to implicate the eldest grandson and the holy queen in this matter?
It was a conspiracy to hand over this case to Gu Jiuxi. At that time, Chen Wunuo could tell those people in a grand manner that this case was found out by Gu Jiuxi. In order to appease the rest of the people, Gu Jiuxi will inevitably become a victim.
I've killed all my own women, what do you want me to do?!
This is one of them.
I have killed all my own women, and this is the trust and value of the rest of you!
This is the second one.
An Zheng felt a chill run down his spine...... Because he knew Chen Wunuo, he knew that he did such a thing.
A person who has sat on the throne of the Holy Emperor for a long time, for the sake of his own dominance, there is nothing that cannot be done. The purpose of exchanging blood is to allow newcomers to enter the Holy Court to always maintain awe of themselves, and to give more people a chance. And stabilizing the remaining two-thirds is for the sake of the overall situation. After the transfusion is successful, perhaps another hundred or hundreds of years later, another major transfusion will be repeated.
A Holy Emperor with an almost infinite lifespan is really terrifying.
An Zheng glanced at Gu Jiuxi, and after being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "You...... Have you considered leaving Daxi?"
Gu Jiuxi was slightly stunned: "No." ”
An argued: "This matter is actually very dangerous for you, if you really haven't thought about leaving Daxi, then there is only one way...... You have to find a way to get hurt, at least not too lightly. In fact, you are smart enough to do a lot of things that I don't need to point out, and once you do, your kind of sustenance and belief may disappear, and this blow is even greater. Besides, you ...... with him."
An Zheng's words did not continue, but made a please: "Thank you for coming to see me, thank you for calling me the first seat." Go back, don't go to Ouyang Duo, and don't investigate this case again, the best way is to keep yourself out of the matter. ”
Gu Jiuxi took a deep breath, stood up and clenched his fists: "Thank you for the guidance of the first adult, but ...... I don't believe he would do that to me. ”
An Zheng didn't say anything, but she actually knew.
An Zheng shook his head and said nothing: "I'm about to leave the Immortal Palace, that's all I can think of, say a few more words...... Ouyang Duo is not credible. I suspect that he has some inseparable connection with Chen Chongqi, and if you ask him to investigate the case, you may still harm yourself in the end. Chen Chongqi was not an idiot, of course he already had a premonition that his father was going to treat him as a sacrifice. No one wants to be a victim, so they will fight. ”
"But he is a son, a courtier, and the initial stage of the struggle is not to go straight to his father, but to you. ”
Gu Jiuxi nodded: "Thank you, then I will leave." ”
An Zheng hummed and didn't say anything more.
After Gu Jiuxi got out of the mustard space, in fact, the whole person was floating, as if he had been drained of strength in an instant. The sun in the sky was so bright and warm, but her heart was extremely cold. In fact, how could she not think of these things herself, she is not an idiot, and she really just doesn't dare to face many things. She kept telling herself that Chen Wunuo asked her to investigate this case because she trusted her and valued her.
Gu Jiuxi took a deep breath, but he couldn't alleviate the accumulation in his heart.
She glanced back, and the ugly-looking stone spirit and the young man who seemed to have some admiration for her little boy were gone. I don't know why, Gu Jiuxi suddenly felt that the whole world was gray, and she subconsciously looked around. Gray walls, gray trees and flowers, gray earth, gray sky. She looked down at herself, gray clothes, gray skin.
And the two people who gradually faded away were colorful.
Gu Jiuxi felt that she had lost something at this moment, but she still didn't take that step in the end. She turned and walked out in the other direction.
In that palace, a masked man in a black robe walked to Zuo Jiantang's side: "You also got the prince's order, right? It seems that the prince wants to play something big this time." ”
Zuo Jiantang's brows furrowed deeply, as if it was a ravine: "I don't understand why the prince made such a decision, obviously we haven't exposed anything yet." Once we start, then it is not the same as not recruiting ourselves? Who is our opponent? It is the Great Xi Holy Emperor, the invincible person in the world. From the beginning, the prince didn't want to overthrow His Majesty the Holy Emperor, why did he become anxious now?"
The masked man seemed to smile, "Not planning to overthrow the Holy Emperor? Wang Ye is an idealist, and what he wants to create is a big environment. However, he is now a victim. Whether he had that plan or not, his father was already planning it. Do you know how not to be a victim?"
Zuo Jiantang did not speak.
The masked man said: "Show your strength and let the Holy Emperor see that you can choose whoever you want to be a sacrifice, but you can't choose the prince." It's just to exchange blood, why do you have to start with the prince? After letting His Majesty the Holy Emperor see how heavy the weight of the prince's side is, he will naturally reconsider. Do you think that the Holy Emperor doesn't know that the prince has no intention of rebellion? He just needs a sacrifice, it can be the prince or his other children. ”
Zuo Jiantang: "I think it's wrong. ”
Masked Man: "What's right or wrong...... Now it's time for us to show what we're capable of. Gu Jiuxi is just a victim, the same as us. So...... Just let her sacrifice first. ”
He turned to look outside: "The next one is the Ming Fa Division." ”
Zuo Jiantang: "Why do you want to do this? Gu Jiuxi is His Majesty's person, and the transfer of the Ming Law Division to the Immortal Palace is obviously His Majesty's desire to save the remaining people of the Ming Law Division, you have to get rid of them, are you really thinking about the prince?"
Masked Man: "You'll find out later." ”
He turned to leave: "Actually, you know very well what I mean by the word sacrifice. ”
Zuo Jiantang's face changed suddenly: "You don't want to protect the prince, but you want to push the prince into the fire pit!"
The masked man said as he walked, "Think about it yourself, anyway, as long as it's not you who enters the fire pit, I'll be right." ”
