Emperor Xingyuan was a diligent man, and his diligence was not only reflected in government affairs, but also squeezed out time to practice martial arts every day, and there was almost no interruption for many years.

In a trance, Gu Changbo thought that he had returned to the time when he was still fighting the world, and the person in front of him was not the king of a country, but the commander who was drinking and laughing with his brothers.

"The King—"

The familiar and unfamiliar title made Emperor Xingyuan stunned, took back the dagger that was across Gu Changbo's neck, and sat down again.

The dagger that can harvest people's lives is far away, and Gu Changbo is sober up.

He knelt down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know what crime the minister has committed!" ”

Emperor Xingyuan, who was sitting firmly behind the case, looked condescendingly at the courtiers kneeling in front of him, he had also treated him as a brother, and his heart was sad and complicated.

How did you get to where you are today?

Why are you so greedy?

"What crime-" I don't know how long it took, in the gentle and pleasant sound of silk and bamboo that did not stop, Emperor Xingyuan finally opened his mouth, "The following is guilty of great disrespect." ”

Great disrespect –

Gu Changbo's face turned pale, and he looked at Emperor Xingyuan in disbelief.

Great disrespect is one of the most heinous crimes, and any word or deed that violates the dignity or safety of the emperor can be punished for this crime.

"You called me by my name when you were drinking."

Gu Changbo's expression was shocked: "The minister didn't!" ”

"You have."

"No, I didn't!"

"You have." Emperor Xingyuan's eyes with raised tails were clear and cold, and there was no turbidity at this age.

The emperor's calm and resolute eyes made Gu Changbo realize that it was in vain to struggle any longer.

His body was crooked, as if he had been drained of his strength all of a sudden: "The minister should be damned......"

Outside the pavilion surrounded by gauze tents, you can see the shadow of swords and swords, and the pavilion is also filled with the fragrance of wine.

The monarch and the ministers were silent for a while, and Gu Changbo, who was kneeling on the cold white jade bricks, raised his head and looked at Emperor Xingyuan intently.

It would be disrespectful to look at Tianyan like this, but he didn't have to care about it now.

"Your Majesty, can you let the minister understand?"

Emperor Xingyuan lowered his head slightly and pulled some distance between the two: "At this time, don't you admit it?" ”

"Admit - admit what?"

Emperor Xingyuan paused word by word and spit out two words: "Wanyang." ”

Gu Changbo's pupils shrank, and he looked shocked.

Wanyang!

How could the emperor know!

But when he met Emperor Xingyuan's extremely cold eyes, Gu Changbo's heart suddenly cooled.

If the emperor didn't know, how could he casually charge him with a big disrespect and ask for his life.

"Your Majesty—" Gu Changbo opened his mouth, the words of defense blocked in his throat.

After being a brother for so many years and being a monarch for so many years, he couldn't know more clearly that justifying would make the other party even more angry.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at Gu Changbo's reaction, and the last trace of luck in his heart was gone.

This bit of luck was for Gu Changbo, he didn't want the truth to be so cruel. In the face of such an important matter, it is impossible not to have any doubts about He Qingxiao, who is investigating this matter.

Today's "Hongmen Banquet" is his temptation to Gu Changbo, and he wants to use the majesty of the emperor to deceive the other party to see what kind of answer he will get.

It's a pity that a fluke is a fluke.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at Gu Changbo, who was kneeling like ashes, and even pity flashed in his eyes.

This man, who fought with him in the north and south, was wounded and spilled blood, and his years of splendid life did not become any smarter.

"How did you find out about the Queen's whereabouts?"

"Yes...... Someone met the queen mother by chance, recognized the identity of the queen mother, and came to find the minister......"

Emperor Xingyuan was furious: "Why did you think of looking for you?" ”

Gu Changbo lowered his head: "The minister is guilty!" The minister was afraid that the queen would return to the palace, and he was confused for a while——"

Emperor Xingyuan slapped the table: "So you are for the concubine and the second prince?" ”

Gu Changbo was shocked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, Concubine Shu Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Qing don't know." It's a ghost who has made such a big mistake......"

"You're such a good brother." Emperor Xingyuan's tone was indescribably sarcastic.

"The lady really doesn't know anything-"

"If you know it or not, I'll judge." Emperor Xingyuan coldly interrupted Gu Changbo's words, staring at him without blinking, "I ask you, why are your people lingering in Wanyang?" ”

Without waiting for Gu Changbo to react, Emperor Xingyuan asked again: "What are they looking for?" ”

Under such oppression, Gu Changbo felt hopeless.

The emperor really knows everything!

When did the emperor start to be suspicious?

Jin Linwei –

Thinking of He Qingxiao, the envoy of Jinlin Wei who had not shown up for many days, Gu Changbo wanted to cry without tears.

It turned out that when he was happy that King Qing had left Beijing for disaster relief, there was also a person who left the capital for his life.

Gu Changbo looked at the expressionless emperor again, and he was even more lucky.

He opened his mouth, his tone was not intense, and there was a kind of numbness of resignation: "Originally, they would return to Beijing after finishing their work, but they found that there were still survivors, so they stayed......"

"Who are the survivors?" Emperor Xingyuan had already known the answer from He Qingxiao, but he still wanted to hear Gu Changbo say it.

"It's a little girl—"

Emperor Xingyuan was furious: "Gu Changbo, you still dare to deceive me!" What a little girl, the one who escaped was obviously a teenager, the son of me and the queen! ”

This time, Gu Changbo did not change his words.

Emperor Xingyuan suddenly laughed, and smiled angrily: "I understand, you are afraid that the appearance of the prince will threaten your nephew's status. ”

Everything that should be asked has been asked, anger has passed, disappointment has passed, and Emperor Xingyuan is only tired: "That's it, it doesn't matter if you admit it or not." ”

The people from Guchangbo Mansion are still in Wanyang, which means that they haven't found the child either.

Has the child already left Wanyang? So where will he go?

Empress Xin had many wonderful ideas, and she helped a lot when Emperor Xingyuan was chasing the world. But it is undeniable that Emperor Xingyuan stood out from the troubled times and had a group of capable generals who followed him, and he himself was undoubtedly smart and capable.

If he was that child, Emperor Xingyuan would have thought of a place.

Capital! If he was that kid, he would come to the capital!

Emperor Xingyuan's heart jumped a few times, and after forcing himself to calm down, he looked at Gu Changbo with complicated eyes: "Since you have committed the crime of great disrespect, I can't cover it up." Go in peace, for if the others don't know, I won't be angry. ”

"Thank you...... Your Majesty Xie......" Gu Changbo responded tremblingly, and still couldn't believe that the emperor would want his life.

"Someone is coming-" Emperor Xingyuan raised his voice, "Gu Changbo committed a crime after drinking, and he was disrespectful to me, and immediately eighty canes outside the noon gate!" ”

The gauze tent was rolled up, and the guards rushed to drag him out, and Gu Changbo had a sense of reality, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life-"

Emperor Xingyuan sat in the pavilion and closed his eyes.

If you don't kill Gu Changbo immediately, Concubine Shu will come to make trouble later, King Qing will come to make trouble, and I don't know how many people will come to make trouble, so it's hard to say what the result will be.

When the judgment is constantly suffering, it will be killed first.

Xinxin's death, if he doesn't kill Gu Changbo, it will be difficult to extinguish the fire in his heart!

The character character is high and poor and handsome Lord He, everyone gives a thumbs up to the heart, otherwise it seems that our Lord He is getting poorer and poorer......
