v2.Chapter 179 (1/2)
The night was heavy. The frosty Kun Yuyang fell asleep in Yufu's carriage. Yufu came down lightly.
Most of the soldiers also rested on the tree trunks or stones, only a few figures standing guard in the distance still stood upright.
Gu huaijiang and Gu Shubai are still sitting by the fire, father and son are silent, and the atmosphere is more rigid than ever.
Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo have gone to have a rest. Gu Shubai doesn't know what he can do here. He knows that Gu huaijiang doesn't like to be disturbed when he is thinking. He also knows his father's friendship for the king.
A loyal minister, knowing that the king had been assassinated, could not protect him. He must have a lot of remorse and remorse in his heart.
Yu Fu silently steps forward and sits on the other side of Gu huaijiang. A pair of children considerately surround Gu huaijiang in the middle, trying to pass some strength to him.
He just looked at the beating fire and recalled a time ago in his mind.
For a long time, he said slowly, ”every autumn hunting, I lead the Gu family army to guard your majesty for my father. Although his majesty is not proficient in martial arts, his archery accuracy is very high. He likes to hunt those rare wild animals in the mountains. If he can hunt a blind bear, he will be happy for three months, and he often mentions it. ”
”At that time, your Majesty was still very young, and he didn't have such a strong army. All the suspicions and speculations have not started yet. ”
Yufu listened to his description and imagined that his majesty and the general in his youth, a pair of monarchs and ministers, as brothers and brothers, were guarding Dongling's mountains and rivers together, which is worth telling later generations.
After the good memories, he was deeply remorseful.
”If your majesty were poisoned that time, I would tell you the suspicion that the eldest prince was poisoned. Maybe your majesty will not die this time. He was treated by the God of medicine. He could have lived as long as the Empress Dowager... ”
Yu Fu and Gu Shubai almost agreed, ”father, I can't blame you!”
The two men looked at each other, and Yu Fu said: ”the last time the prince poisoned his majesty, it was because his majesty wanted to make the second prince the crown prince. He was so aware that he jumped out of the wall. But this time he has no reason to kill his majesty. It must be someone who obstructs him. How can the general put all the problems on himself? ”
Gu Shubai said: ”besides, with your Majesty's temperament, when my father said whether your Majesty would believe it or not, he would not be willing to punish the eldest prince even if he did. What's more, we don't have any evidence in our hands. It will only cause uneasiness in the court to easily cite the eldest prince. My father didn't do anything wrong at that time. ”
What's wrong is that the prince is eager for quick success and instant benefit. What's wrong is the person who leads the prince to repeat his mistakes.
Gu Shubai suddenly frowned, ”father, have you found a question, when did Yin Shuo make friends with the prince?”
Yin Shuo is the brother-in-law of the second prince. According to the in laws, he should favor the second prince.
But he didn't say a word for the second prince after the incident. The behavior of interrogating Kun Yuyang completely exposed his strangeness. No matter whether the second prince was framed by him or not, his attitude towards the big prince is no doubt.
Gu huaijiang looked at him, ”do you mean that Yan Shuo is the one who obstructed the emperor and made his evil thoughts sprout again?”
”Yes, it must be him!”
Yu Fu associated with the previous events and instantly determined that the man was Yin Shuo, ”there's one thing I didn't tell you. Yin Shuo and Princess Danyang were in the Darui Palace on their wedding day, and he He showed me his heart. He said that I was the one he wanted to marry. At that time, I said that if he dared to repent in front of his majesty, I would forgive him for what he had done. He promised me, only to change his mind and say a lot of thanks to his majesty. ”
Gu Shubai said with a sneer: ”no matter how much he adores you, he can't be willing to offend your majesty. However, according to his temperament, it is impossible to praise his majesty at that time. It seems that he had plans in mind at that time, so he reluctantly married Princess Danyang to consolidate his position and plan for the future. ”
Yu Fu nodded, ”I think so too. In addition, Zhang Yue said that he used Miss Yin to trick the beauties, intending to destroy the cabinet system, so I'm more sure. General, is it possible for Yin Shuo to help the great prince to rebel if he is forced to take risks by the cabinet because of his power
All the trivial things are continuous, strung into clear lines.
Gu huaijiang closed his eyes, ”it's not possible, it must be him.”
The three were silent again. It was clear that they knew who was the murderer of his majesty, but there was not enough evidence to prove it.
Gu Shubai looked at the mountains in the distance and said, ”we can travel day and night. If we are lucky, we can go to the imperial capital in two days. I don't know what changes have taken place in the imperial capital in recent days. With the strength of Mr. Ji alone, he may not be their opponent. ”
Yu Fu looked back at the carriage. ”Big brother, you said uncle Ning would be OK. Is that true?”
”It's true.”
Gu Shubai comforted: ”Ning Xuan is not as incompetent as you think. As a member of the clan, he has his own ability. He can protect his wife to leave. It's not difficult for him to keep his life in the imperial capital. What's more, the prince and Yin Shuo are not stupid. The wife has already escaped. What's the use of killing Ning Xuan? ”Yufu is reasonable. Kunyuyang, a girl, comes to them alone. She doesn't cry because of the difficulties on the road. Instead, she tears for ningxuan's safety.
