Gu Shao walked out of the palace door with a calm demeanor, unable to see the joy and anger, and saw the subordinates of the Duke of Yanâs residence come over, Fang stood up and nodded slightly, âTell the Duke of Yan that the matter has come to pass!â
Said not to wait for the subordinate to thank gladly, has lifted the robe on the sedan chair.
After returning to the Spring Lane Garden, the old servant made tea and watched him take a sip, then he said, âEven if you donât mention Uncle Zhaode, you may not be able to persuade His Majesty to withdraw his order, so why do you want to lead the trouble to the east?â
He was accompanied by Gu Shao into the palace, although Gu Shao into the temple report did not bring him, but Gu Shao today reported the content, he has long known.
So at this moment the words came out to inquire.
âIt is better to have His Majesty take out His Majestyâs wrath on Uncle Zhaode than to have His Majesty continue to be angry with the Duke of Yan.â Gu Shao put the tea bowl on the short table at hand, half squinted his eyes and sighed, âThe Duke of Yanâs concern is chaotic, and refuses to show his loyalty to His Majesty, and His Majesty has spoken before, even if he retracts his intention due to my persuasion, the gap between their cousins will definitely fall from now on! Especially behind the Duke of Yan, there is also a resolute Lady Yan as I told you last time, once the Duke of Yan abandons His Majesty, Elder Lady Duanmuâs attitude will surely change with him!â
âAt that time, the power of Shen and Liu, along with the legacy of the Fairview Hall, will be mobilized!â
âDo you think that with me alone, I have the certainty of being able to fight through the tired schemes of these three clans?!â
âEspecially the Wei and Su families, at least one of them will be involved!â
âThatâs why enlisting the Duke of Yan right now is more important than anything elseas long as he remains loyal to His Majesty, Old Lady Duanmu will throw in the towel!â
âOld Lady Duanmu refused to commit treason, and the Shen and Liu families, including the Su family, didnât dare to act out!â
âIn this case, I can only sacrifice Zhaode Bo and tell His Majesty that in fact, the Empress and Lady Yan, the reason why they poisoned concubine Cui was solely because, they knew that concubine Cui had betrayed His Majesty from the beginning, and thatâs why they wanted to eradicate her!â
âThe reason why I didnât tell His Majesty at that time was mainly because of the Empressâs intention: at that time, His Majesty was in the critical period of the struggle for the Crown Prince, and it would be detrimental to His Majesty if he were to form a grudge against the Hengshan Royal Family!â
âAnd now only by me to tell His Majesty the truth, is because the Empress is afraid of His Majestyâs sadness earlier, instructed Mrs. Yan not to disclose this matter, and this time His Majesty did not allow the Duke of Yan to plead for Mrs. Yanâs matter told the Empress to turn around and know, worried about their cousins to keep a gap, which entrusted me to explain to His Majesty!â
âSo that even though His Majesty may not be able to completely forgive the Empress and Lady Yan, he will be able to direct his anger towards the Hengshan royal family, towards Uncle Zhaode, and in the end, he will no longer be staring at the Duke of Yan one way or the other!â
âThough itâs not right to do so to Zhaoderber â¦â
Gu Shaoâs elegant face flashed a touch of coldness, âHowever, such a situation, there is nothing that can be done ⦠can only compensate Zhaode Bo one or two after the fact!â
Hearing this, the old servant murmured, âOld Lady Duanmu is so tactful that one person is enough to suppress the three Shen Liu Su families?â
âItâs not just the means.â Gu Shao blandly said, âMore so, because she doesnât care at all about burning with these three families; but these three families, are they willing to die with her, an old lady whose days are numbered?!â
The old servant couldnât help but sigh, âNo wonder the Duke and Duchess Yan have made many visits to the door, asking her to move to the Duke Yanâs residence, but she refused!â
âSuch an old madam is the most terrifying.â Gu Shao said, half flirting and half helpless, âShe has the means and the means, someone has the money, she has the backing and the cards in the bottom of the box and she doesnât have much to worry about! So itâs not just the Shen, Liu, and Su families that donât want to mess with her, the late emperor, me, also donât want to push her to the limit!â
Emperor Xianjia had a reputation for being wise, how could what Old Lady Duanmu did be hidden from his eyes?
It was just that he couldnât do anything about Old Lady Duanmu because although he could get Old Lady Duanmu killed, and then carry out a major cleansing of the Jinxiu Hall, what if he didnât clean it thoroughly enough, leaving hidden dangers for his children and grandchildren?
This kind of thing is not without precedent, Dong Yongâs second emperor, could have become the Lord of Zhongxing, is because of the desire to eradicate the valve reading family, and really do it to take out one of the prestige family second only to the six valves of the sea, the imperial capital Gu clan.
Then less than two months after the destruction of the Imperial Capital Gu Clan, the emperor suddenly collapsedexternally it was said to be a violent illness, but the sons of the family, such as Gu Shao, knew that it was because the Imperial Capital Gu Clanâs hidden son buried in the palace had shot to kill the emperor to avenge his masterâs family!
You should know that that Emperor did not despise the power of the lineage, and before he struck, as well as after he struck, he was very attentive to his own safety, and even changed his place of residence a few times a night. Being careful to this extent, he still didnât survive more than three months!
Emperor Xianjia himself was even more powerful, but how could someone like him, who worried all day long that he would never wake up after going to sleep, dare to rashly make a deadly feud with the Wang Clan? Besides, he was the one who had originally apologized to Old Lady Duanmu.
So Emperor Xianjia can only pretend not to know, using Jane Li Miao and Jian Xubai father and son, step by step to soften the heart of the old lady Duanmu.
Outsiders only said that Emperor Xianjia because Jian Xubai is the only nephew grown up in the palace, and looks like Emperor Xianjia, so the nephew is the most favored. But do not know, Xianjia Emperor do, in addition to really like Jian Xubai in addition, is also to do to the old lady Duanmu look.
No matter who Jian Xu Baiâs birth mother is, he is after all the son of Jian Li Miao, who has the blood of Jinxiu Tang flowing.
Old Lady Duanmuâs own flesh and blood were no longer alive, and the nephew she had brought up, as well as her nephewâs own son, were the people she valued the most, and the only people left who could make her throw her weight around.
Gu Shao didnât know about these hidden things before.
It was only when Emperor Xianjia entrusted him with an orphaned child and the king and his ministers had a private and confidential talk alone that he was informed.
At this moment, Gu Shao thought back and couldnât help but sigh, âIn the end, itâs still His Majestyâs lack of qualifications! Thatâs why the late Emperor had to act with his hands tied, with many constraints!â
If Emperor Duanhua was a wise lord like Emperor Xianjia, what would Emperor Xianjia be afraid of?
In fact, Gu Shao does not dare to hope that Emperor Duanhua is as wise as the late emperor, he now only begs, âI only hope that after some sharpening, His Majesty will be able to summarize some of the lessons learned, so as not to make the wrong move again, right! After all, although the late emperor entrusted me to assist him in politics, but some things really canât be taught by hand not to mention that Iâm not the late emperor in the end, speak and act, many places have some scruples, your majesty really canât hear, I have no choice!â
The old servant looked at his troubled face and comforted him, âYour Majesty is still young, and will surely get better gradually. The only plan today is to solve all kinds of worries for His Majesty as soon as possible!â
Thinking again, âUncle Zhaodeâs wife is the sister of Marquis Boling. Marquis Boling is still in prison, and I donât know if His Majesty will take it out on him?â
The old servant spoke this way, naturally not caring about Yuan Xue Pei, mainly because, âThe friendship between Marquis Boling and Duke Yan is known to the world! That marquis ⦠can be no light of the day!â
Originally Yan State Lady Song Yi smile, is a will Yan State Duke towards the Duanhua Emperor hostile camp to pull the main child, plus a Boling Hou, even if this recalls Shao persuaded the Duanhua Emperor no longer forced Jian Xubai to kill his wife, the two cousins can still play together?
And, âThe Empress Mother was originally someone who had a predetermined plan, and after this, I donât know what she will think in the future?â
âThe matter of ⦠concubine Cuiâs other love, the Empress has known about it for a long time, but hasnât said anything to His Majesty.â Gu Shao frowned for a moment before saying, âThe Empress would rather leave this information for others to inform His Majesty, or save it for the last resort, so itâs clear that she doesnât want to rip His Majestyâs face off for the time being. Moreover, although His Majesty has ordered to enrich the harem, the new concubines have not yet entered the palace, and even if they do, it is not easy to say whether they can give birth to outstanding sons! Do not think about the late emperorâs six sons, on the talent, only Su Wang is not bad, the other sons, including the present, but it is just so! His Majesty only has one son so far, and the crown prince is considered very intelligent, who can guarantee that all of His Majestyâs future sons will also be outstanding?â
As for Yuen Suet Pui â¦
Gu Shao pinched his brow and sighed, âIn the past two days, one thing after another, everything is so sad, canât you say something to make me happy?â
âOn the contrary.â The old servant smiled at his words, âJust now, news was reported from Duke He Louâs side, saying that County Lord Jingmin is expecting!â
âYou old kill talent!â Rao Gu Shaoâs city was deep, but at this moment, he couldnât help but smile with joy, and scolded with a laugh, âSuch an important matter actually didnât say anything until now!â
⦠Gu Shao rejoice their grandson will be a father, Xuanming Palace, is a atmosphere of murder!
Zhu Qinâs lapel has been wet with cold sweat, but not to mention raising his sleeve to wipe, but even the fingertips do not dare to move a little.
In fact, he didnât know what had happened, after Gu Shao left, he didnât get a summons outside the hall for a long time and felt that something was wrong, so he braved it and went to the door of the hall to ask for peace.
Followed by the Duanhua Emperor was out shouting him in just Zhu Qin just crossed the threshold of the temple, and saw the emperor on the Dan Edward expressionless glaring at him, the eyes, just as if at any time may pounce down and tear him alive like!
Zhu Qin was so scared that she fell to her knees on the spot!
This kneeling has gone on until now.
âYou say, how should I dispose of King Liang?â When he was already kneeling with his eyes blossoming, Emperor Duanhua finally opened his mouth, but he didnât even mention what Gu Shao had reported just now, and only faintly said, âAccording to him, he has evil intentions, and should really be killed!â
When the emperor said the word âshould be killedâ, there was no excitement, but Zhu Qin, who was familiar with him, heard endless coldness from these two words!
âCould it be that what Minister Gu just said is to find out what heartless things King Liang has done?â Zhu Qin secretly pondered a sentence, fixed his mind, was about to speak out, suddenly remembered Duanhua Emperorâs hammering two days ago, already sweaty forehead, suddenly hung down all the way to cold sweat, a little shivering kowtowed, âNu, slave girl ⦠slave girl is a lowly body, do not, do not dare to talk about the clan! â
He maintained his fivebody posture, so he could not see Emperor Duanhuaâs expression.
Only feel after millions of years so long, the emperor once again coldly opened his mouth, âBut in the end he is my only brother, after killing him, he day I went underground, see the mother, but it is not good to explain.â
Zhu Qin did not know what to say, but the emperor said here paused, if he did not pick up the words, the empty hall inevitably seems too cold.
So he could only say warily, âYour Majesty is benevolent!â
âOf course the most important thing is still!â Emperor Duanhua ignored his habitual boasting and continued, âKing Liang and the Empress are extremely discordant, and with him here, more or less, he can keep an eye on the Empress and Wei family for me! Not as much as to make it difficult for me to sleep and eat in this palace!â
Zhu Qin, who had just gotten up a little bit because of the reply, almost slumped his entire body back to the ground again at the words!
âThe matter of the Empress Dowager presiding over the selection, how is it going?â Emperor Duanhua looked at his horrified appearance indifferently, and asked in an emotionless tone, âAlso, on the side of the Imperial Grandmother, is there any spare time? If there is, since I have already made up my mind, I should also report to my elders and ask Royal Grandmother to make a decision!â
