The general and I form a pair

Chapter 39

The first prince, Li Su, came from the Queen of the Central Palace, ranking fifth.From birth, high hopes were placed on him.Li Su is respectful and humble, quick in learning and thinking, and knows people well, like a natural leader.Entered the East Palace at the age of six, and envied all the princes.

There has never been a lack of battles in the palace. After the princes have grown up one after another, there have been many battles, big and small, over the years.Each prince has his own team, and several forces have gradually formed in the court to compete with each other.

After the battle with Daqi, Li Su's position began to tilt after he lost his troops.He was never a person who was afraid of failure, but maybe Xue Qing's death was too tragic, which made him feel guilty and blamed himself.Going to Henan for disaster relief, it can be said that you want to pay off your merits, or, more importantly, you want to escape for a short time.

It's just that he didn't expect that this trip to Henan made him experience a greater setback in his life.Even if the crown prince is abolished, it will be a huge loss that cannot be made up.So many fresh human lives fell one after another right in front of his eyes.

This is the unbearable past that he often thinks about, and is so sad that he can't sleep.

"Your Highness, don't be too harsh on yourself. These people's calculations are everywhere, and it is impossible to guard against."

When Gu Yan came to Zhiyun Palace, what he saw was the tall and straight figure of the prince, kneeling upright facing the west.

"No, I was too naive. It turned out that in their hearts, for the so-called power, they could give up their lives like shoes. It was because I didn't protect them well, because I wasn't strong enough."

Gu Yan knelt down beside him: "Your Highness summoned me today, why?"

"Honestly, help me find someone. If you can't use it for me, kill him. If you can use it, protect him."

"Who?"

"Former household member Uiro Qimin."

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, I don't know, Qi Min went to Beijing a few days ago. It's just that he was entrusted to someone else, and he was tricked and escaped."

Li Su sneered: "Those people still refuse to let go."

"I don't know Your Highness, why are you looking for Qi Min?"

Li Su briefly told Gu Yan about the Henan incident: "This person, if I have not misjudged him, is quite capable. I planned to recommend this person to my father when I returned to Beijing after dealing with the disaster in Henan, but... hey !"

"Sincerely, I lived in Zhiyun Palace for a year. At first, I lived in a wasteland. I wished I could die. Looking back on this journey, I only wanted to make Daliang prosperous, and I didn't care about the intrigues of other brothers. There were many things that didn't touch the bottom line. , I mostly laughed it off. But I found out, I was wrong."

"For them, I'm still too soft-hearted. From northern Xinjiang to Henan, those people will do anything for their own interests. In their eyes, they are all bargaining chips that can be used at any time. If my beam is eaten by these people, sooner or later One day, the world will collapse."

"Your Highness came to me, did you just want to talk about this?"

"In the beginning, I have been deposed and imprisoned in Zhiyun Palace. I didn't expect to find you. But not only did I find you, you also entered Zhiyun Palace easily. The moment you came in, I seemed to Figured out one thing."

"what's up?"

"Father abolished me, but he was actually using another method to protect me."

“How come you see?”

"Jinzhi, do you feel that the occurrence of many things is too coincidental and too just right. It seems that there is an invisible net, which catches us one by one, and plays a fatal role at the critical moment. The father is abolished Me, then the battle for the crown prince will intensify. Many forces that would not have emerged before will make choices after weighing the pros and cons."

"It's always easier to catch fish in muddy water."

Gu Yan was originally a military commander, and he was not sensitive to the political affairs of the court. In other words, he was devoted to military affairs and did not like intrigue.After returning from Beijiang, the Holy One named him General Shenwei and made him a member of the Ministry of War.It's just that before he formally entered the court, he hurt his eyes.

Therefore, what Gu Yan has to do right now is to find out the current situation, know himself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles.Since both His Majesty and His Highness are suspicious, the person behind it is absolutely extraordinary.Moreover, the fact that he can enter and exit Zhiyun Palace so easily also shows that the Holy Majesty has acquiesced to classify himself as his person.

He couldn't help but wonder if what he had done before had been exposed, and whether it would cause trouble to the Holy Majesty.

It seems that everything has to be reorganized.There is still a long way to go to avenge Ah Qing.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Highness entrusted me, I will definitely do my best."

With Li Su's words, Gu Yan realized that what he had thought was too simple.Originally, he wanted to take further revenge on Heyang, but he had no choice but to stop at this point.

"It seems that I really exposed a little before. Heyang has behaved normally since then, so I withdrew the people monitoring Heyang and waited and watched. Although I don't know if Heyang is here all the time. It is a pawn, but it is often the easiest to let people relax their vigilance, and it cannot be ignored."

"Following the prince's instructions, I went to look for Qi Min's traces, and I also got a general understanding of the Henan case. From it, some other things were involved. The more I investigated, the more I found that the water here is very deep, and it seems to be untouchable. The bottom line is mediocre. Every time I think I have a clue, but it is always cut off at the most critical moment."

Ah Qing deeply agrees: "It's like now. Everything seems to be reasonable, but there is always something unusual. At least, the people behind Heyang haven't revealed their flaws yet."

Gu Yan put his hands into his sleeves: "It's not necessarily true. From this point of view, there are many benefits to taking the initiative at the right time."

"Major General, do you want to continue?" Chu Xiao cleaned his hands after dealing with He Yang's body, and happened to hear Gu Yan's sigh when he came back, so he answered the words naturally.

Gu Yan leaned over and smiled: "I think, the Holy Majesty also thinks so."

Ah Qing, who was at a loss, didn't know what their plan was until the second day.

The shocking news in Shangjing has been coming one after another recently, making the people of Shangjing feel full.

Early in the morning, another group of people gathered in front of the gate of Dali Temple.The reason is that Qi Min, the former member of the household department who went to Henan for disaster relief with the abolished prince five years ago, denounced Lin Zhen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Yan Song, the minister of the household department, and Zhao Guang, the governor of Henan, to avenge justice for the abolished prince!

Yesterday, some well-informed people who watched the excitement at Dali Temple knew that the Henan tragedy was designed by Princess Heyang, and the prince was indeed wronged.But the affairs of the Tian family are not something ordinary people can talk about.But this time it was revealed that a number of officials had shielded each other and designed to frame Zhongliang, and they were all prominent figures in Shangjing.

This is a shocking case!

In addition to Qi Min, there are also former officials of the Eastern Palace who worked hard to protect the crown prince, and also came with Qi Min.

This matter involved the abolition of the crown prince and many high-ranking officials, and it was not easy for the minister of Dali Temple to make a decision, so he reported the matter to the palace early.

Emperor Chengkang attached great importance to this and sent Jiuqing to interrogate.Among them, if the accused officials are involved, other officials from the headquarters will replace them, and Yu Shitai will be sent to accompany them in supervision.

Even when the Henan case was tried to abolish the prince, there was no such standard.

The Jiuqing interrogation was a complicated procedure, but Emperor Chengkang didn't give him any chance, he just ordered all the officials involved in the case to be arrested and brought to justice.

This made all the people watching silently, for fear that if they accidentally made a wrong step, they would be lost forever.

"Zhou Yan, where did this Qi Min come from? Why did he come to Shangjing so quietly? We also contributed to the Henan incident back then, and we are also among the defendants today. If ...If they say something that shouldn't be said, what should they do!"

The second prince, Li Duan, walked around anxiously.

"This time is to avenge the crown prince. After the father has not been abolished for so many years, there have long been rumors that the abolished prince is expected to be restored. Now if the case is really confirmed, then our hard work for so many years will be in vain!"

Zhou Yan's complexion was very bad, and he stared at the teacup in front of him gloomyly, as if he wanted to stare a hole out of the teacup.

"Second Highness, rest assured, we took action on the matter in Henan, and others also took action. If we want to investigate, no one is clean. If we die, we will all die together."

"Bah, bah, whoever is dead, can't say auspicious words!"

"Second Highness, there is something to give up and something to gain in everything. Since the matter has become too big and cannot be dealt with, it is appropriate that some people should give up."

"We have worked so hard for so many years to get a criminal department. We are really unwilling! Besides, Lin Zhen is not a fool. How can we push him out to take the blame?"

"Your Highness does not need to worry about this matter, the villain has his own ideas. What His Highness has to do is to stabilize, our subordinates, and the imperial concubine in the palace. But don't make any trouble at this time .”

Hearing what Zhou Yan said, Li Duan felt relieved.

The common people seemed to have never seen such a scene before. Officials who would never be seen in the past could be seen almost everywhere at the moment, and all of them were running around, inquiring about the situation, or begging for connections. They were very busy.

Ah Qing couldn't stay idle, took Gu Yan to go shopping, seeing these officials anxious like ants on a hot pot, couldn't help being a little funny.

"I don't know who can be caught this time."

There were a lot of people on the street, and Wu Chen hurriedly moved out the old things he had packed up to set up a stall. Although everyone was watching the excitement, but the traffic was high, there would always be more business than usual.

Ah Qing was groping around, just in time to see Wu Chen selling his modified small fan to a woman with a flushed face.

In the past, under the influence of himself, Wu Chen had a good mouth, but now he is stuttering, and he can't even complete a sentence.Embarrassed, he blushed from his face to the base of his neck.

Ah Qing rubbed her chin, watching with interest.It's like the little adult who told him to pretend to be in front of him, so he must be deflated this time.

Look at the bewildered expression of the little monk, it seems to coincide with a small figure in his mind.

When was that, seems like a long time.It is also on Ningwu Street.

The bustling crowd was extremely lively.

"Look, this is General Gu and General Xue who made great military exploits in Mulan Mountain."

"Oh my god, young general Xue is so handsome!"

The two returned to the capital to receive the title, and Ningwu Street had been cleared by the imperial army. Sitting on the horses, Chasing Wind and Lightning seemed to know that people were after their masters, so they couldn't help raising their heads proudly, and walked out of the aura of war horses.

"Brother Ayan, look, these women are throwing handkerchiefs at me." Xue Qing took a handkerchief casually, causing all the women to scream.

"Ah-Qing has always been liked by girls. If she is appointed as an official this time, I am afraid that those who come to ask for marriage will break the threshold of our general's mansion. However, according to Sheng's love for Ah-Qing, this marriage seems to be a There are thousands of choices."

Xue Qing curled her lips: "I don't want to get married."

Gu Yan smiled: "Ah Qing has grown up."

Xue Qing snorted, and since Gu Ce immediately stepped forward, Lightning seemed to feel his master's displeasure, raised his hooves and ran forward, before a small group in front, Lightning stopped abruptly, almost knocking Xue Qing Throw it out.

Xue Qing patted Lightning's head impatiently: "What are you doing!"

Lightning snorted a few times, Xue Qing looked down, and saw a young monk about three or four years old, just under the horse's hooves, if Lightning hadn't stopped in time, he might have...

Xue Qing's back was covered with cold sweat, he got off the horse quickly, and asked the little monk if he was hurt.

The little monk felt aggrieved, pointed to the steamed bun on the ground that was crushed by the horse's hoof, and said hesitantly, "Bao, Baozi..."
