After reading the contents of the letterhead, the emperor was furious, and directly tore the letterhead in his hand to shredd, and then threw it out.

When Gonggong Hai saw this scene, Rao had been by the emperor's side for so many years, and he had seen a lot of winds and waves, and he was a little overwhelmed.

However, this scene was obviously expected by Gu Zhiheng, I saw him pretend to be unhurried, knelt on the court, and said earnestly: "Father, such a matter is enough to see that Taiwei Chu is too negligent in matters related to the livelihood of the people, such a person, how can such a major matter as the management of the flood be entrusted to him, this is to regard the lives of many people in the flooded land as child's play, father, this person must not be tolerated!" ”

The ministers of Gu Zhiheng's faction also knelt on the ground one after another, and said in their mouths: "Wangsheng thinks twice, such people must not be tolerated!" ”

At this time, Taiwei Chu on the side was already trembling, and he knelt on the ground directly, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, this matter is by no means a failure of the ministers, I hope that the saint will give Weichen another chance." ”

Obviously, Taiwei Chu should not have done things like this before, because after listening to Taiwei Chu's words, the emperor had a relaxed expression.

Gu Zhiheng had been observing the emperor's reaction, and immediately noticed the change in the emperor's expression, and hurriedly said: "Father, you have taught us many times, 'The monarch, the boat is also, the people are water, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat. When such a thing is at stake for the people to perish, one negligence is enough to cause too many people to lose their lives, and we have to go through such a second thing? ”

Although Gu Zhiheng's behavior was indeed premised on overthrowing Taiwei Chu, after all, what he said was reasonable, and the emperor above the court, after listening to Gu Zhiheng's words, no longer wavered.

Taiwei Chu thought that he would definitely plant it this time, but he didn't expect the emperor to open his mouth and say: "Taiwei Chu is not effective in controlling the flood, so let him atone for his sins and go again, if there is another mistake, he will offset it with his life." ”

Being able to escape the catastrophe naturally made Taiwei Chu extremely happy, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

"Thank you to the emperor, this time, the minister will definitely live up to the emperor's trust."

The emperor looked at Gu Zhiheng again and asked, "King Wu, I want to send another adult to accompany Taiwei Chu to the flooded land, I don't know who you recommend?" ”

Gu Zhiheng didn't expect the emperor to ask him this question for a while, so he raised his eyes and looked around the court.

"Erchen thinks that Lord Guo is quite suitable, because when the flood in the southwest a few years ago was solved, there was Lord Guo's participation, and it should be effective soon to let Lord Guo accompany Taiwei Chu this time."

The Lord Guo in Gu Zhiheng's mouth is over forty years old this year, but his body is very strong, when he first entered the court, Lord Guo encountered a flood in the southwest, and he accompanied another adult who has now resigned and retired to the southwest.

In less than three months, the flood was completely resolved, and after the lord came back, he was very supportive of Lord Guo, and because the minister had a very wide network in the court, even if the lord had resigned now, Lord Guo still had a foothold in the court.

However, this Lord Guo is from the prince's side, so the emperor is a little confused about what Gu Zhiheng is thinking.

The emperor has a good idea of the private rivalry between his two sons, but this Lord Guo is indeed a talent, so the emperor nodded and agreed.

The court discussed the budget for the management of the flood, and then withdrew.

The ministers walked outside the palace in twos and threes, and on the way, Lord Guo met many ministers who came to congratulate him.

In fact, Guo was reluctant to go to the flood control this time, because after all, the last time the flood was treated many years ago, he was full of enthusiasm at that time, and naturally came up with a lot of good strategies, but now, in this prosperous Kyoto for many years, although he is not willing to be mediocre, but in the end he has lost the momentum at the beginning.

However, since all the ministers congratulated one after another, Lord Guo naturally did not face each other coldly, and could only deal with it with a very perfunctory smile.

After Gu Zhiheng returned to the palace, He Nuanliang was already waiting in the main hall, and when he saw Gu Zhiheng coming back, He Nuanliang hurriedly followed him to the inner room, waiting for Gu Zhiheng to change into court clothes.

Then the two of them went to the garden of the mansion together, because there were many things to discuss at this time, and some things that were inconvenient for outsiders to know might be overheard anywhere in the mansion.

But King Wu's garden is a little different, there is a pavilion in the garden, the flowers and plants around the pavilion are no more than people's knees, and there is no rockery and other shelters, the top of the pavilion is not repaired, it is open-air, only for use when the weather is fine.

In this way, no one will eavesdrop on the surroundings of this pavilion.

After instructing his subordinates to prepare tea and pastries, Gu Zhiheng asked his subordinates to retreat.

Seeing that there was no one around at this time, He Nuanliang asked: "Your Highness, what is the emperor's reaction to the matter of Captain Chu, and there is a heavy punishment?" ”

When he mentioned this, Gu Zhiheng was very disappointed, he originally thought that so much conclusive evidence was enough for Taiwei Chu to never turn over, and after that, he could take action.

Unexpectedly, the emperor would show mercy to his subordinates for some reason, and actually gave Captain Chu a chance.

He Nuanliang saw that Gu Zhiheng's face was a little wrong, and said with some tentative in his tone: "In the early court today, could it be that His Royal Highness didn't tell his father about Taiwei Chu?" ”

Gu Zhiheng replied coldly: "No, this king presented all the evidence in his hand, and my father was really angry at first, but for some reason, he actually gave Taiwei Chu another chance to let Taiwei Chu go to the flooded land again." ”

Hearing Gu Zhiheng's words, He Nuanliang didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he had to ask again: "Then I don't know if my father wants Taiwei Chu to go alone this time or what?" ”

When Gu Zhiheng heard He Nuanliang's words, he seemed to have something in mind, and fell into deep thought for a while.

He Nuanliang saw Gu Zhiheng like this, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he sat quietly on the side and looked at the tea in the cup.

After Gu Zhiheng came back to his senses, he took He Nuanliang's hand and said: "Nuan Liang, you are really a good military advisor of this king, such a clever plan, if it wasn't for your reminder, this king wouldn't have thought of it." ”

He Nuanliang was a little confused for a while, he was just curious for a while, and just asked a word, how did he tell Gu Zhiheng any clever plan?

Gu Zhiheng saw He Nuanliang's doubts, and explained: "Nuanliang, didn't you just ask this king if Taiwei Chu went alone this time or how?" ”

He Nuanliang didn't know why Gu Zhiheng asked himself like this, so he didn't say anything, just nodded very obediently.

Gu Zhiheng continued: "Father Emperor also sent a minister to accompany Taiwei Chu, and this minister is from the prince's side. ”

He Nuanliang seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and looked at Gu Zhiheng and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?" ”

Gu Zhiheng smiled with relief and said, "That's right, just like Nuan Liang, I originally used a trick to borrow a knife to kill people this time." ”

Although there had been speculations for a long time, he still had some doubts when he heard Gu Zhiheng say this, so He Nuanliang asked: "But Your Highness, what reason does the prince have to get rid of Taiwei Chu?" ”

Speaking of this, Gu Zhiheng smiled mysteriously, and said to He Nuanliang: "Shen Huo and He Suoyi are more affectionate than Jin Jian. Chu and He Suoyi's children in the womb started, Shen Huo doted on He Suoyi, and wanted Chu He to lose his support. Isn't this reason enough to convince the public? ”

He Nuanliang didn't expect Gu Zhiheng to think so thoroughly, and unexpectedly, he was also very surprised by the ruthlessness of Gu Zhiheng's thoughts.

Although Gu Zhiheng used to say that he had a lot of means, he was not very quick to kill, but now, it is often a few lives, although Taiwei Chu is related to the death of Concubine Qin, he must be a powerful minister, so it is inappropriate to act like this.

But after all, Gu Zhiheng has already decided, so He Nuanliang will naturally not stop it, although sometimes Gu Zhiheng will discuss with He Nuanliang, but He Nuanliang is self-aware, she knows that what Gu Zhiheng decides is not something she can interfere with at will.

He Nuanliang didn't open his mouth to stop him, he just asked: "I don't know when His Highness plans to make a move, is it the last two days, or is it on the way to the flooded land?" ”

Gu Zhiheng really didn't think about this, and when he Nuanliang asked, Gu Zhiheng said: "Nuanliang thinks when is the best time to make a move?" ”

Gu Zhiheng asked, He Nuanliang naturally wouldn't hide it, so he said his inner thoughts, and said, "The concubine thinks that if you want to make a move, it's best to be on the way to the flooded land." ”

The words on the road aroused Gu Zhiheng's interest, and Gu Zhiheng asked, "I don't know why Nuan Liang has such a plan?" ”

He Nuanliang saw that Gu Zhiheng was planning to follow his own advice, and replied: "If you make a move at this time, the concubine thinks that the purpose of blaming others is too obvious, and if someone follows the vine, it will inevitably find out to His Royal Highness." ”

Gu Zhiheng was very satisfied with He Nuanliang's answer.

In the evening of the same day, Taiwei Chu and Master Guo set off.

Three days later, Taiwei Chu encountered mountain bandits on the way, and the unfortunate death spread to Kyoto, and Lord Guo, who was with Taiwei Chu, was nowhere to be found.

The death of Taiwei Chu was naturally done by the people sent by Gu Zhiheng, from the day Taiwei Chu set off, Gu Zhiheng asked people to follow him, those mountain bandits were indeed a coincidence, but they just gave Gu Zhiheng's people a chance to make a move.

When he learned of the death of Taiwei Chu, Chu He was holding a teacup in his hand, tasting the tea in the cup carefully, and after listening to the words in his mouth, the teacup fell to the ground in an instant and fell apart.

Originally, some concubines in the harem were willing to befriend Chu He, one because of Chu He's identity as the prince's side concubine, and the other because Chu Taiwei was an important minister in the court.

Now, Chu He has fallen out of favor in front of Shen Huo, and Taiwei Chu has unfortunately died, so naturally there will be no more concubines willing to lower their prices to curry favor with Chu He.

Unlike Chu He's side, those concubines knew that He was unwell, and they brought a large number of supplements to visit, and they did their best to stammer.
