Chapter 147: The End
Xiao Lao's words reminded the emperor of the lack of glory in the current uprising, and his face turned blue and white for a while, and finally he turned red with anger, pointing at him and trembling in tone.
"Catch him for me, catch him for me!"
Xiao Yu'an didn't move immediately, looking at Xiao Lao's eyes like a frightened deer, he couldn't believe that he was able to disguise for more than 20 years, and he didn't show a flaw on weekdays, which can be described as seamless, and deceived everyone.
In this world, dynasties have changed, and the throne has always been the residence of the capable.
The previous dynasty lasted for a hundred years, and finally there was no way to do it, and the people were overwhelmed by forced labor and taxes, and even having enough to eat became a luxury.
When the emperor led a group of subordinates to revolt, it came into being, and it was only a matter of time before the previous dynasty fell.
But at the same time, the emperor's identity in the uprising was embarrassing, and his disgraceful background made many princes and nobles laugh at him behind his back, which was also the bottom line in his heart.
"Grandfather, don't be obsessed with it."
Even if he knew in his heart that Xiao Lao would not stop there, and even if he confessed to the crime, the emperor would not let him go, but Xiao Yu still had a glimmer of hope at the bottom.
"Hahaha You have disappointed the old man so much, you are now the lackeys of the thieves! ”
"The old man has been planning for this moment for many years, do you think it's just such a few people, the old man's disciples and the orthodoxy of the former dynasty are all over the capital, even if the old man is dead, the former dynasty will be continued, until we get back everything that belongs to us."
"Do it."
With Xiao Lao's order, the Xiao family's soldiers stepped forward together, and then Xiao Yu'an found that these people's kung fu paths were similar to those of the previous dynasty, and they were too much stronger than ordinary government soldiers.
His eyes gradually turned cold, these people should also be soldiers of the previous dynasty, he is guarding the country, and he is the one who seemed to be strict but carefully taught him the way of governing the world handed over to him by the old man.
"Where are the Guards?"
"Yes."
The moment Gu Wanchao came, he also brought the rest of the Royal Forest Army with him, but he stayed in the dark, for fear that there would be a sudden incident, and when he heard Xiao Yu'an's order at this moment, he immediately stood in armor.
"Defend against the enemy with me."
Xiao Yu'an bore the brunt of the attack, rushed directly into the crowd, trying to vent the uneasiness and anger in his heart in this way, and soon broke through a passage among the soldiers of the Xiao family's mansion and went straight to Xiao Lao.
"Hahahaha good boy, I didn't expect that in the end you were a hidden danger buried by the old man, and I knew that you should have left yourself to death today."
Before the emperor finished speaking, "Who are the previous dynasties and where are they placed", Xiao Lao snatched the sword from the hand of the soldier next to him, and committed suicide by wiping his throat with a twist of his wrist.
Until his death, he did not say the specific whereabouts of the fine work.
No matter how fast Xiao Yu'an was, he couldn't stop Xiao Lao's desire to die, and he was one step slower after all.
And the emperor's mind was still flickering with what Xiao Lao had just said, and his heart fell into a panic, and even his eyes gradually turned red, and his mood was unstable.
"Give me an investigation, immediately, now go and check all the remnants of the previous dynasty in the capital, go and check!"
"Your Majesty can't" was interrupted by a weak voice.
The imperial doctor who was brought in a hurry was hurriedly treating Gu Fu'an's wounds, fortunately he didn't hurt the vital point, but it was tantamount to adding insult to injury to his body, and he was gambling on his own life.
"I just experienced the forced palace incident, if we are searching and arresting in the city at this moment, it will definitely cause the people in the city to fall into panic, which is not good for the community."
"And we don't know the number of detailed works, and it is even more difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth in Xiao's old words, and now he has committed suicide and has nowhere to collect evidence."
"But if what is said is true, it will only startle the snake, in case it alarms them, the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and does unforeseen things and has no energy to deal with it, Your Majesty."
The emperor knew that what Gu Shi'an said was good, but he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.
The remnants of the previous dynasty lurking in the capital are tantamount to putting a knife around his neck, which is like a shadow, which makes people fearful.
What's more, he didn't want anyone to live in the world who could know his origins.
"Why don't you leave this matter to the two of us."
Gu Wanchao and Xiao Yu'an first glanced at each other, both saw the tacit understanding in their eyes, looked at each other and smiled, and both walked to the emperor to ask for his life.
The emperor pondered for a moment, and his reason returned at this moment, remembering the performance of the two.
Gu traitor's situation became worse and worse, Gu Wanchao prepared a carriage for him, took him to seek medical treatment first, and the rest escorted the emperor back to the palace.
I don't know what method the two used, but they found out all the details in the capital within half a month, and when the eighth princess asked, Gu Wanchao just smiled mysteriously.
At that time, they directly blocked the news of Xiao Lao's death, and sealed the officials present that day, and sent people to strictly guard them.
Xiao Yu'an found his means of contact with the people of the previous dynasty in the study where Xiao Lao never asked anyone to set foot alone, and after consulting some officials who had experienced the events of the previous dynasty, the matter became simpler.
First, he imitated Xiao Lao's tone and asked Xiao Zuo to retreat, saying that he had another action and gathered them in a Xiao family's merchants, so that everyone would not be suspicious.
After being arrested, they were broken one by one, and the scattered soldiers were also arrested.
It is worth mentioning that an official present that day actually wanted to report the news, and was caught by the person sent by Xiao Yu'an to monitor, which also provided some clues for the inspection.
After returning to the palace, the emperor cleaned up Li Yu's henchmen one by one, including the doorman he sat down.
In the past, he was able to turn a blind eye, but this investigation only found out that Li Yu had rebelled against most of the people in the court.
In order to make up for the vacancy of the official position, in addition to being recommended by the officials of the imperial court, the imperial examination time once every three years was shortened to once a year.
And there is no restriction on identity, and as long as it is a talented person, it can also be recommended by the ministry.
And Gu Fu'an did not recover from a serious illness and blocked a sword for the emperor, and his body was even more serious, and he was just able to get out of bed and walk under recuperation, but he also needed someone to help him.
simply resigned from the position of prime minister and recuperated at home, but he also had a little leisure.
Gu Erye had a meritorious role in protecting the palace incident, and he also made a lot of efforts in the arrest of fine work, and was named the general of the country protector by the emperor, in charge of the tiger talisman.
At the beginning, the half of the talisman in Xiao Yu'an's hand was handed over to him in advance by Gu Erye for fear of accidents, and it was precisely because of this half of the talisman that Gu Wanchao could be transferred to the army so easily.
After Xiao Lao died, the body was disposed of by the emperor's people, and Xiao Yu'an had no choice but to set up a mound for him, which could be regarded as repaying the kindness of his upbringing.
The emperor's people in the Xiao family did not know Xiao Lao's true identity, and Xiao Yu'an had won many meritorious services and did not condemn the people of the Xiao Mansion, but this time the Xiao family's vitality was greatly damaged, and it took many years of operation to be able to return to the peak state.
However, everyone knows that as long as Xiao Yu is here, he can ensure that the Xiao family has no worries for a hundred years.
