Chapter 108: The closer you get, the more careful you become
Gu Zhenyu immediately stood up and opened the door a crack, just in time to see Xu Jingluo being driven away by two officers and soldiers: "What do you think this place is?" Do you still allow you to play the prestige of the master? Come on! ”
Gu Zhenyu hurriedly closed the door, and as soon as he turned around, Hu Changan immediately leaned over and asked, "Does the prince have any instructions?" Humble duty, this is to punish those who do not open their eyes! ”
Gu Zhenyu waved his hand and said, "No need." Don't be too hard for her! After all, she has been my daughter-in-law, and she has done her filial piety to me. ”
Hu Changan nodded, gave a thumbs up and praised: "The prince is both affectionate and righteous, and he admires and admires him!" ”
Gu Zhenyu returned to his seat, picked up a cup of tea, and said, "Hu Changan, I will remember you, but I also ask you to remember that today's events, forget everything you should forget!" ”
Hu Changan hurriedly said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the prince, the prince has a lot of opportunities, and his memory is naturally outstanding, and he can't even remember whether he ate or not this morning." How dare you look at the prince's back? ”
......
On the street at this time, Ning Yichen and Gu Changgong each rode a horse and walked forward slowly.
Suddenly, Cui Ying's eager shout came from behind him: "Young master, young master!" ”
Gu Changgong grabbed the horse's bridle, stopped, looked back, and saw that it was Cuiying, so he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" A look like the eyebrows are burned by fire! ”
Gu Zhenyu returned to Prince Duan's mansion and blamed Aunt Liu with some displeasure: "Just say something once, you still think I'm not aging fast enough, right?" ”
"That's me in a hurry, in a hurry." Aunt Liu bit her lip and said.
Gu Zhenyu said impatiently: "What's the use of being anxious? Useless people are in a hurry to bare their faces! ”
"I also said I was useless."
As soon as Aunt Liu's words fell, she saw Gu Changgong stand up, salute the two of them, and called: "Dad, Erniang!" ”
Gu Zhenyu took off his official hat, handed it to Aunt Liu, looked at Gu Changgong and asked, "I know everything, what do you think?" ”
Gu Changgong immediately replied: "Xu Jingluo is innocent, we can't treat her like this." ”
Gu Zhenyu bowed slightly, and said in a light tone: "Luo'er is a good child, but she must be a family member of the rebellious ministers, not to mention that Wei Kunjue is my family's feud." I can't help it. ”
When Gu Changgong heard this, he hurriedly interceded for her: "Dad, she has saved us again and again, we can't be that kind of ungrateful villain." ”
Gu Zhenyu frowned and asked: "Once upon a time, when we were put on the neck with a knife again, would you rather our whole family die than marry her, and now we finally knocked Wei Kunjue down, and before we could catch our breath, you were in a hurry to save her." Do you have to sail against the current to enjoy yourself? ”
Gu Changgong lowered his head and said, "Dad, I know that I have always been extreme, but this time is different." ”
Gu Zhenyu glanced at him and said, "Heh, my son also knows that he is wrong, don't play this trick with me." ”
Gu Changgong stopped him again and said solemnly: "Dad, the night I decided to be the bait, I said goodbye to Jingluo, and she begged me bitterly not to hurt her uncle. To be honest, my heart really softened, and I could only promise her to do her best. If we can't even protect her now, then we're too ashamed, right? ”
Gu Zhenyu patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Changgong, I can also tell you the truth, with you and my father and son, and the enthusiasm of the emperor at the moment, I went to ask the emperor to let Luo'er go, he has no reason to disagree, but have you thought about it?" If Luo'er lives in our house for a long time, the emperor will inevitably have a trace of resentment in his heart, you must know that Wei Kunjue has offended the emperor too hard after all! ”
Gu Changgong listened, was silent, and then said: "If the emperor always has a little bit of discomfort in his heart, wouldn't it be a bane for our family that can be fatal at any time?" ”
Gu Zhenyu turned to look at him and said, "It's not just that, in case one of our enemies makes a fuss about this, I can't argue." ”
When Aunt Liu heard this, she couldn't help but ask with horror in her eyes: "Master, is it really so powerful?" ”
Gu Zhenyu glared at her and said, "Haven't you seen the previous situation?" As he spoke, he said to Gu Changgong with a calm face: "Do you think that Wei Kunjue has fallen, and I can sleep well?" ”
Gu Changgong raised his head and asked solemnly, "Dad, can you tell me what you did before I come back?" ”
Gu Zhenyu was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" I didn't ask you, but you asked me? I ask you, which book did you read that taught you to ask me that? Could it be that our Gu family is such a family style? ”
Gu Changgong replied loudly: "Sacrificing the pawn to protect the car is our Gu family's strength, and sacrificing women is our Gu family's family style!" Dad, don't you say? ”
Gu Zhenyu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said, "If you forget what your surname is, I can remind you that you are exactly the same as the father you look down on, and they are both surnamed Gu!" ”
Gu Changgong was furious, gritted his teeth and said, "If our Gu family uses the blood of our relatives to dye our red tops, I will be ashamed of the Gu family!" With that, he slapped the table with a slap.
Gu Zhenyu looked at him fixedly, and said: "Well said, well said, Wei Kunjue also said so, but at that time, I endured it, I knew that it was a great shame in my life, and I hated it so much that I couldn't sleep for many nights, and this state of mind was never revealed." I know you're so impulsive, there's nothing you don't dare to do, but then we finally worked together to avenge this big revenge. Do you know how happy I was at the time? But now you say so. Not to mention that I have loved you for so many years, you just look at your father's gray hair, how can you bear it? ”
With that, he pulled out the letter he had written and pressed his handprint on it.
When Gu Changgong and Aunt Liu saw this, they were both shocked.
Gu Zhenyu picked up the letter and said sincerely: "This is the desperate letter you wrote to me that night when you were determined to work hard with Wei Kunjue, although I have memorized it word for word, but I still keep it with me, you may think that your father, a villain, is going to use it to save his life at any time, but I tell you, you are wrong!" I am reluctant to exchange your warm heart for my old life. Never reluctant! ”
After a pause, he said again: "But today, since you think that the surname Gu makes you feel ashamed, then I will return this to you and follow your wishes." Now Dad will go to the palace and let the emperor release him, and Dad will do the last thing for you! ”
After speaking, he handed the letter into Gu Changgong's hand and turned to leave.
Gu Changgong stood for a long time, silently tore off the letter little by little, tore it into pieces and sprinkled it on the ground.
......
On the other side, Ning Yichen went to see his father Ning Qiuyun.
"Daddy."
Ning Qiu Yun was lying comfortably on the couch drinking, and when he saw him coming, he asked with a smile, "Chen'er, what did the emperor tell you?" For such a long time, I have served the emperor all my life, and I have never received such grace. Ride in the same carriage with the emperor, but I want to tell you that the closer you get to the emperor, the more careful you have to be. ”
Ning Yichen picked a seat and sat down, and said, "Dad, I wasn't with the emperor, I was originally with him, but I was mixed up later. Alas, forget it, let's talk about it later! ”
Ning Qiuyun was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "Why do you want to talk about it later?" This is no small matter! ”
Ning Yichen was silent and said, "Dad, I just remembered a big event, Wei Kunjue's niece, wasn't she arrested by the Zongren Mansion?" I think you should go to the Zongren Mansion right away, ask them not to touch her, and leave this trouble in Prince Duan's Mansion. Look at them in the future, dare not act rashly! ”
Ning Qiuyun heard this, laughed, and said, "Stinky boy, why didn't you say it earlier?" Come on, change clothes! ”
......
In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager said to Emperor Jing'an Gu Haoyan: "Yan'er, what are you going to do with Wei Kunjue?" ”
Gu Haoyan asked tentatively, "What does the old ancestor mean?" ”
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "For the sake of his merit to the Western Wei Dynasty, leave him a whole corpse, and leave a way for his descendants to live." ”
Gu Haoyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Ancestor, except for the few henchmen who really endanger the imperial court, my grandson doesn't want to kill anyone. ”
