Chapter 263: The Current Situation of the Capital
Gu Yufan was really angry this time, gritted his teeth and shouted, "You also know that our surname is Gu, and since we know that we want to glorify the lintel of the Gu family, then what's the matter with us following you to the Liao family?" Could it be that my mother has already arranged a way back for us now, and when my father has the result, do you want us to be Liao's puppets and lackeys? Hahaha...... Mother, you are really our good mother, and you will really arrange a bright future for us."
"I...... Mother doesn't mean that, you kid......
"Maybe that's not what you meant, so what? Siniang is right, you are just an abandoned woman, do you really think that those uncles and aunts of your grandfather's family will respect you as much as the aunt and grandmother of the Liao family? When the time comes, you won't even be able to protect yourself, what will you do to protect me and my brothers and sisters? You don't want us to be puppet lackeys, but the uncles have made up their minds, can you reverse it?"
"I ......"
Liao was speechless. Xin Nian looked at Gu Yufan in shock, she knew that this child was smart, and Gu Changting's evaluation of him was: "Although extremely smart, it is inevitably a little too cunning and insidious." Unexpectedly, this child's gaze and pattern at the moment were so far-reaching, and his words were loud, but he really had a bit of Gu Changting's demeanor.
"Mother, let's go. Since then, the Liao family and I have been in the same vein as the prince's mansion, and they have nothing to do with each other...... Grace and righteousness."
Gu Yujiang clenched his fists and suddenly burst out with such a sentence. This eldest young master has always been arrogant and arrogant in his eyes, although he has now restrained a lot, the arrogance in his bones is still there, but those ignorant and proud have been transformed into a bit of arrogance, and the words he said to the Liao family at this time really have a bit of the style of the prince of Duan's mansion.
Liao never dreamed that when he returned to Prince Duan's mansion this time, not only did he fail to show off his might, but even his three children were separated from her, and even the eldest son said such a break on behalf of the palace.
Because of the loss of his soul and despondent out of the palace, standing on the street, he felt that the world was so big that it seemed that there was no place for himself, and he reluctantly walked a few steps, and then he felt that his eyes were black for a while, and then he fell to the ground, unconscious.
*****************
"The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I remember that last year, the prince also said that at the end of spring this year, we still went to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs, and I still thought about going to the mountain temple to worship the Buddha. It took only a year to think that the world would be turned upside down."
In the courtyard, Aunt Gu, Aunt Qin, and Xin Nian sat under the wisteria trellis and talked freely. Hearing Xin Nian say this, Aunt Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Where do you dare to think about this at this time? Didn't you see that this capital is very different from last year? Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the crown prince is in charge of the country, and those courtiers who refuse to attach themselves to him will be dismissed if they say that they will be dismissed, and decades of struggle have come to naught."
Aunt Gu sighed, "This is still good. The most unfortunate are those officials who disregard their safety and danger to admonish them, and I don't know how many have been imprisoned. Last night I was looking at the stars in the courtyard, and I faintly heard crying in the distance, and this morning I sent someone out to inquire, good fellow, even the official of the ministry, such a big first-class heavenly official, has been raided."
Xin Nian said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Officials has always been responsible for the selection and assessment of officials, the prince wants to establish his own power, of course, he must firmly control this place in his own hands, but the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Fu has always been fair and honest, the prince is now arrogant, to say one or the other, how can he see such a style? After a long time, I still couldn't help it, touched the prince's scales, and ended up like this."
Aunt Qin sighed, "The old man is also in his sixties, right? Even if you have a strong body, how long can you survive in prison? Alas! What the hell is this going on, Prince? The emperor doesn't have many days left, he will be the new emperor by then, and this time is just when he should win the hearts of the people, why is it that he has made a huge noise in the capital, and everyone is in danger?"
Xin Nian sneered, "That means he can't win people's hearts. In other words, he can only win the hearts of those villains who tend to be inflammatory, and honest officials like Lord Fu are all on the opposite side of him."
Aunt Gu nodded and said, "It's strange that the prince parted ways with him and even turned against him, and now looking at the prince's actions, he is really not worth following, and the prince is also bright-eyed." It's a pity that I was unlucky, but I was involved. I wondered, is this God blind? There are so many true dragons, and they chose such an unsuccessful mortal to be the Son of Heaven?"
With a "poof", Xin Nian and Aunt Qin were originally full of sadness, but they both laughed out loud when they heard this. Xin Nian said lightly: "There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it. You see that the prince is beautiful now, but he may not be the real dragon."
Aunt Gu said: "Unless the emperor is good immediately, otherwise he has already achieved the climate, who can compete with him? As you said, sometimes there must be something in life, even if he will be a dumb king in the future, he has this destiny to be the Son of Heaven, and others are helpless."
Xin Nian said with a smile: "I only know if Ji Tai comes, happy and sad, and said that climbing will fall heavily, the more scenery is here, once the wind and clouds change, the collapse of high-rise buildings is also a matter of moments."
Aunt Qin said: "I think most people have accepted their fate now, I heard that there are still two princes who have the heart to fight with the crown prince, and now they have also died down. It's the five princes, it's really a tribulation to see people's hearts, these days are busy, I don't know how many adults can return to their hometowns because of him."
Aunt Gu also nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't? Needless to say, the five princes are also doing their best in our house. It's a pity that a chic and uninhibited person like him is now also burdened by a little righteousness in his heart. At this time, everyone is grateful to him, but the prince is not annoyed with him somehow, and when he ascends the throne in the future, he will be the first to cut him."
Xin Nian sighed: "It's a pity that the prince is now in prison, and the power of the five princes alone is limited after all, otherwise the two of them will unite and have a helper to rely on each other......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a mother-in-law running in and said to Xin Nian: "Auntie, someone came to the palace just now, saying that the fifth prince was ordered by the emperor to come to visit the concubine Niangniang, and said that he wanted to see the person in charge of the house, and the concubine Niangniang asked you to come over immediately."
Xin Nian's heart moved, since Gu Changting was sent to prison on February 2, it has been nearly three months now, although the fifth prince tried his best to help Prince Duan's mansion maintain its momentum, but he never came to visit in person. What's going on today? And...... By the Emperor's orders? This is very surprising, isn't the emperor seriously ill and sometimes in a coma? Why did you think of asking your son to visit the old lady today? It can't be a return to the light, right?
