At that time, the people of the whole country scolded the first emperor as a coward and unworthy of being a son of man. The new emperor neither refuted nor stopped them. He and Qin Zhengze appeased the refugees, reclaimed wasteland, reduced and exempted taxes, and sent people to train soldiers and horses. When the abundance gradually increased, the first emperor suddenly announced that he would take back the two cities ceded to the Tatars, and started a war on his own initiative.

Then he handed over the state affairs to Qin Zhengze, and led his own troops to conquer in person.

At that time, Tatar was facing the transition from the old to the new, and the country was chaotic, so although the war was difficult, Dachu still won more than lost, and quickly took back the two cities, but the first emperor did not stop. The newly succeeded Da Shanyu surrendered to Da Chu and agreed to pay a yearly tribute.

This battle was won by Great Chu, but for the royal family of the Li family, they lost, because the first emperor was injured in the battle, and the old wound relapsed and died less than three years after returning to Beijing. It wasn't that Qin Zhengze was loyal and upright, his wrists were strong enough, and his intelligence was not weak. This big Chu might not belong to the Li family.

"The emperor kept the two lives in mind. After he took power, he used the excuse of the Tatars to fight the grasslands to start a war. The Marquis of the Gu family recovered in this way. Although the two countries have rarely had wars in recent years, there have been many conflicts between them. Who in the Manchu dynasty didn’t know that the emperor hated the Tatars the most? If Concubine Lan Gui had any connection with the Tatars, she would be killed.” Gu Jingyun felt that only Baolu’s coined the word was the most suitable.

"Wanpeng and the emperor suspected that the Kaiping case was related to Tatars." In the dark night, Gu Jingyun's eyes were extremely bright. Uncle was very annoyed at defending them, and even though he knew that uncle was wronged, he still exiled him and never regretted it, but if this was done by the Tatars, he would lose a good minister because of it."

Gu Jingyun's eyes sparkled, and a sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth, "He will definitely regret it..."

What will he do at this time?

Gu Jingyun replaced himself as the emperor, secretly thinking that he would wish to tear the body of the person he once loved the most into pieces, the end of Concubine Lan, and the end of the fourth prince!

For today, his grandfather is a heroic emperor who died because of the country, not to mention his father, who endured humiliation, conquered the battlefield, and regained the country. Because he lost his father since he was a child, he worshiped and admired his father beyond the ordinary.

What's more, he was taught by the late emperor's companion, his best friend Qin Zhengze?

In order for the emperor to learn well, Qin Zheng did not let him learn from his father, learn from his father's wisdom, heart, strategy and patience.

For today, his father is not an emperor, but a god!

And the woman he loves may cooperate with the Tatar, who has a blood feud with him, to kill his other son.

Gu Jingyun let go of the heart he had been holding all the time, and he hugged Li Baolu contentedly and said in a low voice: "I hope this is true, even the fake Wanpeng will not find out the evidence."

Without evidence, the emperor will always be suspicious, ah, this is really a wonderful turning point, after hearing the good news, Gu Jingyun had a good sleep.

When the palace servants came to deliver breakfast the next day, Gu Jingyun ate an extra half bowl of porridge.

The palace servants waited for the two of them to eat enough, then cleaned up the dishes, and took the clothes they changed yesterday to wash. This was a sudden treatment since three days ago. Before, they thought it was the prince who took care of them, but now they see However, it is possible that the treatment was due to the emperor's loose attitude.

Clothes are sent to the laundry room, and there is a little maid in charge of their clothes.

Because in the entire East Palace, Gu Jingyun and his wife are now the highest status, so they enjoy privileges to a certain extent.

The little palace maid separated the clothes, searched them before putting them in the water, and after they were washed, they hung them to dry in the yard, and then disassembled and cleaned the bedding and other things that were handed over from above. Today, half of her task was completed.

The little palace maid went back into the room with her waist supported, taking advantage of no one around to buckle the things she just took out from the corner of her clothes from her belt.

The outside was wrapped in oiled paper, she took out a pack of snacks from the cabinet, stuffed the oiled paper strips into the snacks bit by bit, rewrapped it, and took it with her.

These palace people eat together, and the food is not very good. This bag of dim sum was given by the grandson not long ago, to let them take care of the people in the side hall, and she has been reluctant to eat it.

The little maid went to the cafeteria and saw her fellow villager Xiao Weizi, so she blushed and asked, "Have you finished eating the snacks from your hair?"

"It's over," Xiao Weizi said in a low voice, "If you like it, next time I go to the imperial dining room and ask my senior brother to make you some."

"No, I don't like snacks, I have some here, I'll give you some." After saying that, he stuffed the bag of snacks into his arms.

Xiao Weizi's face also turned red, he hurriedly pushed back and said, "It's so hard to get one reward, how can you give it all to me? You take it back and eat it yourself."

"I don't like to eat it. It's a waste to keep it. You can eat it."

Everyone looked at the two jokingly, and one father-in-law even said: "Little Wei, don't you like to eat, why don't you just give it to me."

Xiao Weizi immediately stuffed the snack into his arms, everyone smiled kindly and looked at the two jokingly.

Those who stayed in the East Palace after the crown prince moved out to do errands had no future, because they were all eating and waiting to die, so there was no interest entanglement, and naturally there was no conflict. Except for a few people who had a bad temper, everyone was very friendly.

Here, their food and clothing are not comparable to those of other palaces, but it is safe here, and they will not die at every turn.

And at least you won't be hungry in the palace, and it's better than life outside, so everyone is very satisfied.

The little maid and Xiao Weizi are fellow villagers who entered the palace in the same year, and they have been assigned to the East Palace for three or four years. Everyone knows their relationship well. The son sent back a few fruits, which is normal.

Xiao Weizi took the snacks and got together with the little maid and whispered for a while before going back to the room.

He and his master are responsible for the purchase of the East Palace, because the people who live in the East Palace are servants, and they may not be able to leave the palace for ten days and a half months, but since people are locked up in the side hall, they can go out for a walk every now and then. Unfortunately, you don't need to buy anything expensive, just buy some fruits and ingredients, and if the Prince's Mansion has something to send in, they will go and get it.

When he returned to the house, he took out the snacks piece by piece, took out the one with marks and broke it open, stuffed the note inside into his belt, and then slowly ate all the broken snacks.

In the evening of that day, the note passed through the hands of the prince several times.

The crown prince didn't expect that Gu Jingyun would get such news even after being locked up. At this moment, he understood the embarrassment of his father.

It's okay if the Qin family doesn't have the heart, but if they have the heart, they might really be able to overthrow the royal family of Chu.

The prince laughed at himself, that kid Jing Yun was so arrogant and arrogant, even if he begged him, he would not stay in the court.

The crown prince put away the secret letter and raised his voice: "Come here, go and call the grandson."

Li An arrived soon, and the prince showed him the secret letter.

"Huh? It's a secret word. What happened in the palace?" Li An asked while opening the dictionary on the table, translating to the pages, and then said after a while, "Father, it's better to be still than to move at this time."

"That's right," the prince's eyes flickered, "Just wait for Wanpeng to find out the matter, but we can't really do nothing. Your grandfather has not been in court for five days and has not summoned courtiers. , His illness can't be concealed anymore, we will enter the palace to pay his respects tomorrow morning."

At this time, it is too fake to pretend to be a quail at home, it is better to put down the fight and go to the palace to serve the sick.

In the early morning of the next day, the prince brought his grandson into the palace to pay his respects to the emperor. At the same time, the fourth prince also brought his son to stand in front of the Qinzheng Hall to ask for an audience.

Since the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss the assassination case of Gu Jingyun in the study of Qinzheng Palace five days ago, he has not shown up again, and Su Yuanzheng has not left the palace for five consecutive days. At first, everyone did not expect that the two days Everyone realized that the emperor was probably sick.

The emperor will be sixty next year, which can be regarded as a long life. He is old, and a cold may kill him, so everyone is very worried, and he must see the emperor to be at ease.

So everyone met at the gate of Qinzheng Hall, and everyone stood in line according to their official positions, waiting in line for the emperor's summons.

As a result, the emperor didn't see any of them, and Director Su said in a deep voice: "Sheng Yu, the state affairs are temporarily decided by the prince and the elders of Sige through discussion, and the unresolvable matters will be discussed."

The fourth prince was shocked, his eyes widened and he stared at Director Su in disbelief, and shouted: "Impossible, my father can't make such a decree, this king wants to meet my father."

Director Su lowered his face, and said solemnly: "Is His Royal Highness suspecting that the servant is falsely preaching the imperial decree?"

The fourth prince rushed forward and said angrily: "How could the father make such a decree, who knows if you, the eunuch, colluded with the prince to deceive all the officials?"

The prince also lost his face, "The fourth son is careful, Su Gonggong is the father's man, and Gu also thinks he is upright and stands upright, so don't talk about it indiscriminately."

But he was the one who came to supervise the country several times, so why was the prince replaced by the prince this time when the father was sick?

The fourth prince was in a state of panic. He was unwilling to admit the obvious answer. A stern look flashed in his eyes, and he took another step forward. The guards who were originally guarding the palace gate stood in front of Mr. Su, and their sabers were half sheathed. , said solemnly: "King Rong, please step back, no one is allowed to enter without purpose."

"Do you dare to stop me?" The fourth prince said coldly.

Director Su looked at him coldly, turned around and said: "All the ministers and workers should step back, and go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the four elders for state affairs." After finishing speaking, he was about to enter the palace.

The fourth prince suddenly yelled, "Father, Father—are you still inside? You dog slaves dare to falsely preach the imperial decree..."

Everyone was shocked, and looked at the prince and Director Su suspiciously. No wonder everyone was suspicious. Since the prince's mansion was besieged fifteen years ago, the emperor only took the prince with him whether he was hunting in autumn or going out to escape the summer heat. To the four princes to supervise the country.

Among them, the emperor was seriously ill several times, and the four princes were also in charge of the country. The prince was either called to serve the sick or was ordered to copy Buddhist scriptures in the mansion.

This is the first time in fifteen years that the crown prince is in charge of the country. Could it be that the crown prince really colluded with Director Su to put His Majesty under house arrest?

Just when everyone was thinking this way, there was a "pop" sound of porcelain shattering in the hall, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they all looked into the hall in fear.

There was a violent shout from inside, "Get out, I'm not dead yet, who dares to falsely spread the imperial decree? Let the prince supervise the country! Cough cough cough——"

"Your Majesty—" Everyone knelt down one after another, and Director Su even rushed back into the hall, helping the emperor out after a while.

The emperor leaned against Director Su with a frosty face, staring at the ministers with cold eyes and said: "Why, my holy metaphor is no longer useful?"

"I don't dare to wait, I wait to obey the order!" The emperor looked very free. Except for his pale face and his whole body, he didn't look like he was under house arrest by the prince, and they were here. If His Majesty was under house arrest, he would have After asking them for help, all the officials felt relieved and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads one after another.

The emperor then looked at the fourth prince coldly, and said coldly after a while: "There is so much noise in the palace, you have read all the rules taught to you by the master, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and copy the "Book of Rites" a hundred times , when the copying is finished and when the ban will be lifted, get out, I don't want to see you now."

Everyone backed away one after another, the fourth prince's face changed a few times, he looked up at the emperor in disbelief, but his dear father looked at him with frost on his face, the fourth prince couldn't help but panicked, and hurriedly looked away Go, also get up and back down slowly.

After everyone had completely retreated, the emperor let out the breath he was holding on to. Director Su almost couldn't hold him up. Seeing that the two of them were about to fall, Director Su's apprentice hurriedly jumped out and hugged the emperor's other. With one arm, the two worked together to get the emperor to the dragon bed.
