Chapter 13 The Palace is Deep 17
Gu Yuecong said: "The emperor is majestic in the world, and all the people look up to him, and the grass people are a martial artist, and it is already extremely fortunate to be able to get close to the clear light, how dare you speculate about the emperor's holy will."

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Martial arts, Shaolin, Taiyi Beidou, Vermilion Bird Palace and other eighteen major sects add up to hundreds of thousands, these are also martial artists, but I can despise them!"
Gu Yuecong heard what he said and seemed to have another deep meaning, and hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, but most people in the martial arts take it as their responsibility to act chivalrous and righteous, hoe the strong and help the weak, and they don't dare to be disrespectful to the emperor in the slightest. ”
The emperor said loudly: "What a chivalrous and righteous man, hoe the strong and help the weak! Hmph, I know that people in the martial arts have never taken the official government and the laws of the court in their eyes, and that's it, if you don't do evil, I will turn a blind eye, but some of the eighteen major sects collude with the local government, and they are still unclear with the courtiers of the court, so bold!" The last four words were full of eloquence, as if they were scolding the eighteen major sects and Gu Yuecong.
Gu Yuecong was shocked, and couldn't help but kneel down again and said: "The emperor is angry, but the grass people don't dare." ”
The emperor picked up the book again, intentionally or unintentionally, and when the anger subsided, he said, "I didn't mean you, otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me today, get up." ”
Gu Yuecong said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Stand up.
The emperor said: "How much do you know about the collusion of the eighteen major sects with the government?"
Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "This matter is complicated, and it's a long story, but where should we start?" His mind changed for a moment, and he wondered: "Someone blames the eighth prince by worshipping the moon tribute, why don't I take this opportunity to avenge his grievances? Yes, the livelihood of the people in the northwest is hard, so there are frequent riots, and it is just right to talk about it." "At the moment, the matter of the detention of the girl in the Bai Governor's Mansion, as well as what I saw along the way, 1510, told the emperor as it was.
The emperor slapped a few cases on the side and said: "These dogs, deceived and concealed, and did not report the information, if it wasn't for Concubine Nie Aifei to tell me, I would have to be kept in the dark." He glanced at Gu Yuecong and said, "You just said 'only say to worship the moon and pay tribute, and you are not allowed to mention the order of levying Ding', so do you know why the people in the Bai Governor's Mansion said that?"
Gu Yuecong wanted to save the eighth prince, and the words of "only saying that he worships the moon and tribute, and must not mention the order of levying Ding" seem to be intentional or unintentional, but he mentioned it many times, and he thought: "Since the emperor asked this question, why do I need to say more." said: "The grass people are stupid, please ask the emperor to excuse me." ”
The emperor said: "I heard that three years ago, the moon tribute was saved from a catastrophe, and your kid also made a lot of efforts, so you should know that the matter of paying tribute has always been the responsibility of the eighth prince over the years?"
Gu Yue Cong said: "I have heard of it. ”
The emperor raised his head and said: "Someone wants to blame him, hmph, Sun Shangshang has been in the court for decades, whether he is loyal to me or not, I know in my heart, how can I listen to other people's slander?"
When Gu Yuecong heard this, he was surprised and happy in his heart, and said with a pretended disappointment on his face: "What the emperor means is that someone will blame the eighth prince for the crime of expropriation and extortion in the name of conscription......?
The emperor turned his head and said in a loud voice: "I am saving him, do you know, I am saving him!"
Gu Yuecong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The emperor is wise." ”
The emperor said, "Oh, wise, you can tell me, where did I come from?"
Gu Yuecong said: "The grass people dare not say it. ”
The emperor's knuckles tapped three times in a row, and said: "Say, you saved my concubine, since I summoned you to the palace, I didn't come to ask you about the guilt, if you have anything to say, this is not the court, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, that's right, I will reward you with your work in saving Nie's concubine." ”
When Gu Yuecong heard this, he no longer had scruples, and said: "The emperor sent the eighth prince into the prison, just to make some people think that the emperor listened to their words, so that they can not only relax, but also save the eighth prince from the cusp." ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth finally showed a slight smile, and he said, "You are half right, but as far as you know, you can only say half right." After a pause, he said, "In your opinion, how should I eradicate the bed bugs around me?"
Gu Yuecong thought for a while and said: "The grass people are foolish, this matter originates from the locality, and the roots are in the imperial court. ”
The emperor said: "Yes, but, not to mention how to eradicate the bedbugs around me, if I send you to these bandits sent by the eighteen major sects of the rivers and lakes, how sure are you?"
The emperor's words seemed to come out casually, softly, but Gu Yuecong was taken aback, at this time, he suddenly understood that the emperor summoned him to deal with the eighteen gates, and thought: "Such a big thing, don't say it's me, it's the abbot of Shaolin Xuanbei, and the Ouyang sect leader may not dare to agree, no wonder the emperor sighs at me." said: "Back to the emperor, the matter is very high, and the grass people will never dare to speak wildly." However, not everyone in the Eighteen Great Sects is willing to collude with the government, and the grass people think that as long as they can subdue the culprit, the Eighteen Great Sects will no longer make waves. ”
The emperor said, "His name is Gao Jinlun?"
Gu Yuecong was slightly stunned and said, "Yes." ”
The emperor turned around and sat down on the dragon chair, looked at Gu Yuecong, and said, "There is something now, although I expect you to be incompetent, I want to hear your thoughts. ”
Gu Yuecong said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
The emperor said: "There is a big bed bug around me, this bed bug is called Liu Lei Ao, as you just said, the local government and the people in the martial arts under the instruction of this person, in the name of worshipping the moon tribute, he did this, not only to frame the eighth prince, but to have another plan, I expected that he would definitely rob the tribute halfway, with this silver to rebel." ”
Gu Yuecong lost his voice and said: "Rebellion?" Although he heard that Liu Lei was arrogant and leaned towards the government and the opposition, he did not expect that he would intend to rebel.
The emperor said: "Yes, so the most important thing at the moment is that once the moon worship falls into the hands of Liu Lei Ao, I will be in big trouble, and the trusted ministers around me are all poor in donkey skills, and there is no good plan, maybe you can give me an idea." ”
Gu Yuecong only expected that the emperor would ask him about the people of Helan riots, but he never dreamed that it would involve the country, and he thought: "Once the emperor rules the world, how many soldiers and horses will be millions? This is not for you to ask, I can only tell you that this tribute is related to the welfare of the country and the people, but it is extremely dangerous, and I will not send a single soldier. Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "Not to mention anything else, there are no less than tens of thousands of eighteen major sects in the hands of Gao Jinlun, if they want to do it, who can protect them?"
