Qiu Qianhu looked at Li Baolu in amazement, this person is very good at Qinggong, I'm afraid the best guards in the palace can't match her, only those secret guards...

   But her Qinggong path is elegant and free, as fast as lightning, she just turned and turned as she wanted in the air, and she pays attention to the Yang path that follows her heart, unlike the Qinggong of the dark guards...

   And she's female!

   Her hand is still on Gu Jingyun's waist!

  Qiu Qianhu took another look at the hand she put on Gu Jingyun's waist, then cupped his hand to Gu Jingyun and said, "Master Gu, wait for a moment, then let someone enter the palace to report."

Gu Jingyun was deeply favored by the emperor. Someone dared to stab Gu Jingyun at the feet of the emperor. This must have touched the emperor's inverse scale. I'm afraid this matter will never end. Besides, Gu Jingyun is also the teacher of the grandson. .

   Qiu Qianhu can already foresee the next storm.

   Erlin, who was still at the scene of the assassination, was staring blankly at the carriage that was scattered around his house, but couldn't come back to his senses.

When Li Baolu rushed out with Gu Jingyun, the knife from the four directions just hit the carriage, and the carriage split up in an instant. Erlin thought that if it wasn't for the leg that kicked him away, I'm afraid he would be torn apart like this carriage. .

The passers-by who were also frightened came back to their senses, seeing that the assassins were chasing the figure, they hurriedly helped Erlin up, pointed in the direction of the yamen, and said, "Go and report to the official, and let the official come to help you add the master. ."

   The words fell, and the Guards arrived. Everyone shut up and looked at them nervously.

On this day, the emperor's morning court was interrupted only halfway through. The imperial guards quietly entered the hall and reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor's face immediately turned dark. The sons below said: "Although I am old, I am not dead! You can't wait to be my home and my master? I am not as good as your wish!" The emperor shouted sharply: "Wan Peng! "

   "My minister is here!" Wan Peng stood up.

"Gu Jingyun was assassinated on the way to the Hanlin Academy. This is in the capital, and there are people who dare to do it right under my nose. Where else? Come back to see me!"

   "The minister obeys."

The fourth prince below    lowered his eyes to cover the light in his eyes, but his hands under his sleeves were tight and tight.

  The emperor was so angry that he was in the mood to go to court early, so he got up and left with Director Su.

   Director Su sang "retreat" and hurried to catch up with the emperor, carefully waiting for him to go to the study of Qinzheng Hall.

   The emperor staggered as soon as he entered the study room. Manager Su hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug him and exclaimed in a low voice, "Your Majesty!"

   Seeing the emperor's face turning red, Director Su was worried and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician."

  The emperor shook his head slightly, and asked Director Su to help him sit down on the couch, and then hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water.

  The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, felt better, then looked at the imperial case with vicissitudes of life, sad and angry, "Do you think it was the fourth child who did it?"

   "Your Majesty thinks too much. Lord Gu is only a teacher. What is the fourth prince doing against him? Maybe it is not necessarily the person who is offended by Lord Gu outside." Director Su comforted him, "The fourth prince will not wait until now if he wants to do something."

   "You don't understand," the emperor said softly: "He didn't do it before because I doted on him, but I only ordered Wan Peng to investigate him two days ago, and he did it."

"Then it shouldn't be against Master Gu..." Director Su didn't finish his words, but he understood the meaning very clearly. If the fourth prince wants to do something, it should also be aimed at the grandson. Dirty all over.

  The emperor chuckled, but his eyes were cold, "Yeah, unless he is not afraid of my investigation, why is he not afraid of my investigation? Because he thinks that I may die."

   "Your Majesty!" Director Su exclaimed.

"Gu Jingyun must have done something that annoyed him," the emperor's voice became even colder, "The fourth child has always been impulsive and irritable, he has never been a man of forbearance, but I didn't expect Gu Jingyun to be involved in the struggle for succession. Now, go check it out and find out what Gu Jingyun has done recently."

Director Su stepped back in trepidation. Before leaving, he quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor. He felt that the current emperor was unfamiliar and familiar. The strangeness was that he had not seen His Majesty like this for more than 20 years. The familiarity was because he was young. His Majesty is like this.

His Majesty assumed real power at the age of sixteen. At that time, Taifu Qin was still alive. Although he rarely participated in politics, he still had the power to restrain His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty was diligent and diligent. So decisive and wise.

   For more than twenty years, he thought he would never see His Majesty like that again.

Director Su became worried about Gu Jingyun again in a flash. No one in this world knows the emperor better than him. Neither the Crown Prince nor Qin Xinfang can compare. Whether it is the wise His Majesty in the past or the faint-hearted His Majesty, he is very suspicious. He is nostalgic. Love, but if the old love touches his bottom line...

   Director Su with a wry smile quietly retreated.

   At this time, Gu Jingyun was also smiling bitterly. He held Li Baolu's hand and said with a smile: "Those who are good at swimming are drowned, those who are good at planning are defeated by planning. I lost this game."

After the    assassination, the emperor would no longer believe that he was a teacher with few desires. If he lost his sacred heart and the opportunity to get close to the emperor, the gains outweighed the losses. Wouldn’t he lose?

  Li Baolu comforted him, "It's alright, as long as he doesn't kill you, let's get up again after falling down, and I'll support you."

   Gu Jingyun's mood was much better after hearing this, he squeezed her palm and smiled.

The situation of the fourth prince was very bad. Ever since his story of besieging Taisun for thousands of miles was exposed in front of the emperor, the emperor began to be suspicious of him. past.

   What really made the fourth prince panic was that the emperor deprived Concubine Lan of the palace power and no longer trusted her. Although they still doted on her, their mother and son knew that they were different.

   What is the use of pampering them without trust?

They are different from the prince. The prince is orthodox and naturally has the support of courtiers. Moreover, the prince’s mother family is quite large. Although it has declined, the thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse. The Lan family used to be just a small landlord who opened a mill. After the imperial concubine entered the palace and was favored, she started slowly.

   Their biggest support is the emperor's trust and the emperor's favor, but they are slowly losing these two.

  Especially after the Li family's case was rehabilitated, the previous Yellow River burst and Liangjiang Governor's bribery cases were brought up again.

   Of course, they were not afraid of these two cases, because the emperor suppressed these two matters for them back then, but the two matters were brought up again and again, and the fourth prince found that the father and the emperor looked at them with more and more impatience and doubts.

Just at this time, someone secretly reported his contacts in the Western Mountain Camp, the Praetorian Guards and the Northern Army. Within a day, the imperial court secretly impeached him for conspiring with General Mao, who was stationed at the Liaodong Dusi, for conspiring to take empty pay and embezzle. The army's food and grass and cold-proof materials.

   The fourth prince broke out in a cold sweat when he learned of this from the eyeliner he placed in the palace.

  My father hated the most that someone would meddle in military power without telling him. When the Prince's Mansion was besieged, it was because someone secretly told the prince that he had a close relationship with the Kaiping Guard, and there was suspicion of rebellion.

   At this time, Gu Jingyun was also talking to Li Baolu about the Kaiping Guard case in detail on the site of the Imperial Guard.

   "...Who knew that the secret information was accidentally leaked, and Jiang Wenhan, the general of the Kaiping Guard at the time, actually led his troops south to Qingjun's side. Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone knew that his intention was to assist the crown prince to rise to power."

   "How many guards are there in Kaiping?"

   Gu Jingyun said with a sneer: "There are 50,000 people in all arms, including logistics."

   "It's a common practice for generals of Chu to take empty pay. In addition, there are very few logistical soldiers who can go into battle, and they can use at most 20,000 people. Is this a rebellion or death? Isn't this harming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Even you can think of it, but few people can think of this at the time," Gu Jingyun stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the plane tree outside the Imperial Guard's guard post: "Apart from my uncle, there are only a dozen or so people in the court. People believed that His Royal Highness the Prince was innocent, but the emperor was so angry that he did not question the Prince at all, and he did not send anyone to investigate. The letters between the prince and Jiang Wenhan were found from the prince's mansion, and the prince's private seal was stamped on it, and the emperor immediately issued a secret order to deal with the prince's mansion."

Gu Jingyun said in a low voice: "At that time, the guard's sword was unsheathed. It was my uncle who found something wrong when he routinely visited the prince. He took the ruler of his great-grandfather and came out to shock the guards, so he hurriedly entered the palace and interceded with the emperor. The emperor and uncle had a big quarrel, and the uncle used the ruler of the great grandfather to force the emperor to promise to investigate the matter thoroughly, which made the knife hanging from the crown of the prince's residence go away a little."

   "In recent years, the crown prince's position as heir has not been stable, but it has not been abolished. It can be seen that the emperor knew that he was wronged?" Li Baolu asked.

"There is no evidence that the prince was wronged, but there is also no conclusive evidence that he did this," Gu Jingyun said, "The day after the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, the generals who went to rehabilitate returned the battle report, and they also Before they could fight Jiang Wenhan in the future, they were defeated by the defenders of Wanquan Dusi. In the chaos, Jiang Wenhan was killed by an arrow and was taken by his direct descendants into the forest to flee, while the other rebels surrendered. Wanquan Dusi later said that it was strange that the Kaiping guards escaped, and they It seems vulnerable, but Kaiping Guard is a border guard, fighting with the Tartars all year round. Compared with Wanquan, he is only stronger or weaker, how can he lose face to face?"

"This matter was reported back to the capital, and the courtiers returned rationally. They all felt that His Royal Highness was wronged, and then most of the secret letters confiscated from the Prince's Mansion were confirmed to be forged. The forged Guards committed suicide before they were arrested. In addition, Jiang Wenhan's whereabouts are also unknown, and this matter has become an unsolved case. No one can prove that the prince is wronged, but no one can prove that he is innocent. Because two of the secret letters confiscated have been confirmed to be true. "
