Chapter 119

Gu Xiaowu: Let me demonstrate to you what curve saving the country is.

"It says it's perfect, but it's full of loopholes!"

"boom!--"

The ink inkstone brushed Yijing's temples and fell behind him, and the originally gorgeous and elegant official uniform was also stained with thick ink, which immediately made Yijing miserable.

Even though the emperor was furious, he was even more severe when he scolded Yijing.

"It's really thanks to your cleverness and constant replacement of guards, which finally gave her a chance! You tell me, if she came to the palace, would she see her or not?! She asked to send troops, would she help or not?! Years of business, ruined once! Don’t say that the reckless Princess Tianzi is smart, I’m afraid it’s an excuse for you to shirk!”

"I don't dare to shirk, but it's up to your majesty to deal with it." Yijing took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Please listen to my words, your majesty may have room to redeem..."

"I don't want to hear it!" The emperor yelled at the case, "Don't be so deceitful and sophistry! You are telling the truth, is it because the friendship of old friends makes you soft-hearted!"

"Your Majesty has absolutely no such thoughts! Your Majesty, please listen to my words..."

"To shut up!"

Finally, Gan Yi couldn't bear to procrastinate, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent now, and that reckless princess should be imprisoned as soon as possible. Even if Yijing has a thousand crimes, it is not appropriate to pursue them at this time. He was dismissed from office, put in prison pending trial, and chose someone else to find Princess Humang."

Hearing Gan Yi's words, the emperor angrily took up the tea and drank it down, and then sat back on the throne in resentment.

Gu Xiaowu seized the opportunity and said: "Why don't you let Yijing catch her again, if there is a breach of grace, he will be dismissed and executed, if it can be redeemed, then let him take the blame and make meritorious service."

"The Minister's words are wrong." Gan Yi said contemptuously: "If he committed such a crime, he should be executed. If he misses again, wouldn't it be a dilemma for the country? How does the life and death of a general compare with thousands of soldiers and the safety of the border? "

"It's really hard for Mr. Prime Minister to understand righteousness." Gu Xiaowu snorted softly.

Seemingly guilty of being a thief, Gan Yi's heart suddenly paused, and she immediately understood what Gu Xiaowu meant by her words.

"Prime Minister", the emperor did not notice that the two people in the hall were at war, but asked eagerly, "According to your wishes?"

"Let the flower tree go."

"Huacishu?" The emperor hesitated, "Compared with Yijing, I'm afraid he is even more untrustworthy. Whose daughter is Princess Humang, you should know exactly who it is."

Yijing secretly clenched his palms.

"Your Majesty naturally knows, but your Majesty, if you look at the court, those who are intelligent, talented, and skilled in martial arts are Huacishu. Now the military marquis is seriously injured and unable to move. It will take ten and a half months for the rest of the generals to rush here. I am afraid that I will regret it at that time." It's too late. But please think about it, Your Majesty, if Huacishu is the one who disregards the life and death of the country, how can Princess Qianze marry Hu Mang far away? He took Princess Qianze away, but turned back halfway, one after another Come on, don’t you have time to usurp Her Highness the Princess? It’s just that these two became Junqing, and there are other royal families in the court, Jiang Yuan, who can take a long way to marry, how could the late emperor be willing to embarrass his own daughter?”

The Son of Heaven sighed, waved his hand and said, "The prime minister's words are not unreasonable. Put Yijing in jail pending trial, and summon Huacishu immediately."

Gu Xiaowu and Yijing looked at each other, then looked at His Majesty the emperor who was frowning, and shook his head gently.

"It's really a bad year..." Xing Sheng held his forehead in pain.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How could this be the case? Maybe the Holy Majesty is just angry, and the crisis will be saved after finding Princess Humang..." Chu Guangliang carefully offered a cup of tea to Chang Ming, and comforted him in a low voice.

"Compared with whether or not we can find the reckless princess, the holy rage is the most powerful weapon to put the commander to death." Xing Cheng said.

"Xingcheng!" Chu Guangliang scolded in a low voice, hinting with his eyes that he cared about Chang Ming's mood.

Chang Ming was surprisingly calm, like the lonely autumn wind remaining after the summer flames, he asked Xing Sheng, "What do you mean by that?"

"Only the Holy Majesty holds the power of life and death. When this matter comes out, Gan Yi will definitely gather his subordinates to swarm up and impeach the army commander in many ways. By adding fuel to the fire, the Holy Majesty will kill him."

"Is there a way?" Chang Ming asked with blood.

Xing Cheng was silent for a moment, then he got up and took his sword, and said to the other two: "I'm going to look for your lord, you are waiting here."

"I'm going too!" Chang Ming hurriedly stopped Xing Sheng.

"No." Xing Cheng flatly refused, "You are the commander of the battalion and the son of the commander of the army. There are only a lot of eyes staring at Jian Hegu now. If you act rashly now, won't it make the commander of the army worse?"

"But can't I do anything?!" Chang Ming raised his voice, which seemed to reprimand Xing Sheng.

"What did you do after you came out of Dali Temple Prison?" Xing Sheng asked back, "Maintaining Ning Wu's current peace is your greatest contribution."

Chang Ming didn't answer, turned around and went back to the back of the house.

"Even ignore what the commander said?" Xing Cheng asked in surprise.

"This is a big matter, my lord today..." Gu Xiaowu also regretted, "Although Yijing has a remedy, it can only be said to be with Huacishu, because he hopes that Huacishu will be fair and selfless, and when things are done I would like to say a few words later..."

"I'm afraid the commander of the army will not survive that time." Xing Cheng said frankly.

Gu Xiaowu had no choice but to nod.

"Is there a way to delay it for a little longer?"

"Do you have a solution?" Gu Xiaowu asked Xing Cheng back, "It is conceivable that the impeachment memorials on the case of tomorrow's sage are overwhelming, and the crimes are naturally strange..."

"These people really have nothing to do!" Xing Sheng was annoyed and self-defeating.

Gu Xiaowu seemed to think of something suddenly.

"What did you say?"

Xing Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then slowly said in a daze: "These people really have nothing to do..."

"There is still a way. I hope it can be delayed. Fortunately, Gan Biao is still a nameless Minister of the Household Department."

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"The matter is handed over to Huacishu. The Holy One still has hesitation in his heart. It is Gan Yi's guarantee..." Seeing that Xingcheng frowned fiercely, Gu Xiaowu stopped explaining, but said: "Time is running out." , you go for this official, and quickly find those who came from Gan Biao's new family!"

"I'll go right away, sir." Xing Cheng also decided not to ask, but he followed his orders.

"How's the collection of Yijing's crimes and evidence going?" Gan Yi urged Qu Liying eagerly after entering the prime minister's mansion.

"The officials and others are still tidying up. They will definitely finish it tonight, and they will all be played tomorrow. Yijing will not escape death!"

"Very good! This matter should be done sooner rather than later. It is necessary to add fuel to the flames to anger the Holy Majesty and kill Yijing!" Gan Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then urged: "Send more people to keep an eye on Gu Xiaowu , don't let her take advantage of it."

Qu Liying was puzzled and said: "She can still stir up storms? No one in the court doesn't know that she and Yijing are grasshoppers on the same rope, but anyone who is aware of it knows that Yijing is bound to die. Deaf and dumb are."

Gan Yi smiled wryly and said helplessly: "If she can be judged by common sense, it is impossible for her to become the servant of the Ministry of officials. She is a Jiangyuan."

Hearing Gan Yi's reminder, Qu Liying immediately looked solemn and hurried out.

Qu Liying had just left the house, and Cui Shuhuo could not wait to report at the other end: "Someone impeached Huacishu, saying that he has an affair with Princess Qianze, and he should not be responsible for Princess Humang!"

"Who dares to act so recklessly!" Gan Yi scolded angrily.

"It's not just one person or two people. The memorials have piled up like a mountain on the table of the sage. I have noticed that they are all old acquaintances of Gan Biao's disciples..."

"Gan Biao?" Gan Yi shook his head resolutely, "You have been deceived. Since Luo Jianghong's incident, he has long been a superficial figure, and his power has been divided up by Gu Xiaowu and the truth. Now he is just a polished commander. It was Gu Xiaowu who was behind the scenes, but I still don't know what she intends to do."

"In short, His Majesty is going to see you now."

Gan Yi was ordered to go to the palace, and sure enough, she met Gu Xiaowu, and after meeting the emperor Yili, she talked about it.

"There are also many people in the court who oppose it..." The emperor frowned slightly.

Gan Yi hesitated a little in her heart, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Xiaowu sneeringly raised the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty," Gan Yi stepped forward to salute and said, "But Huacishu is the only one to choose. If he has other selfish intentions, His Majesty can arrest him and punish him. Now it is a critical moment, so we should not be hesitant and miss the opportunity. It's unimaginable. This kind of impeachment person often treats the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart, disturbing the hearing of the saints, and I hope your majesty will learn from him!"

Gu Xiaowu also persuaded from the side: "The Prime Minister's words are not bad. At this extremely critical time, there are still people who gossip, but they are just seeing the outstanding achievements of the flower ginseng and jealous, so there are such villainous words. It is useless to hide selfishness in the name of official business, Your Majesty should not trust such people's words."

Gan Yi glared at Gu Xiaowu viciously, and finally went back to the Prime Minister's mansion angrily.

Cui Shuying came up to him to ask him what happened, Gan Yi couldn't help but angrily said: "Gu Xiaowu has no wind and waves, the truth is not guarded for a while, let's preemptively strike for her!"

"What do you mean, my lord? Could it be that tomorrow..."

"The impeachment is still there!" Gan Yi said decisively: "If we don't get rid of it at this time, how can we have such a god-given opportunity! He, Sifu Luo Yijing, is not a tree of flowers, he is a body to wear a crime!"

Cui Shu felt uneasy instead.

The next day, Gu Xiaowu received a letter from the servants in the palace, and went to the palace to meet her at the right time.

Sure enough, there were many more memorials on the sage's table than in the past. Fortunately, the sage looked indifferent and seemed to be thinking.

"What's the matter?"

"minister……"

As soon as Gu Xiaowu opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the attendant's urgent report.

"Report! — There is a woman outside the palace gate, who claims to be a princess who came from a long way. Please see Shengjia!"

"What did you say!" The emperor also stood up in shock, "How did it come so fast?!"

"This..." The attendant couldn't answer.

The emperor turned to ask Gu Xiaowu who was right in front of him: "What can I do?"

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient," Gu Xiaowu calmly saluted, "I dare to ask how many people are here?"

"Only one."

"She's the only one? You didn't ask her for the golden book and seal? Why did you come here empty-handed?"

"The lower official asked about this, but she said that they were robbed on the road, and these tokens have long been lost, but as long as she is allowed to meet the emperor, she has a way to prove her identity."

Gu Xiaowu turned her head and smiled confidently at the emperor: "I think it was Yijing who captured and imprisoned her at the beginning, and he had thought about it so long ago. Your Majesty, is this imperial palace a place where idlers can come and go freely? There is no proof, I also want to face the Holy Spirit, but it’s hard to guarantee that it’s not a person with evil intentions, not to mention the friendship between the two countries, the princess travels, how can there be no guard of honor and guards to escort her? I think that it is reasonable to investigate the identity of this person carefully, and not to nod rashly.”

Hearing the words, the Son of Heaven also smiled: "What the minister said is reasonable, so he responded accordingly, and placed the princess in the posthouse to rest, and called the forbidden army to guard it. After the matter is verified to be true, we can make a decision."

The servant should step down.

"Recently, I'm really worried about this matter." The emperor sighed, sat down on the table, raised his hand and pointed to the memorial in front of him: "The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are also full of spit."

"In fact, the minister is also here for this matter." Gu Xiaowu's expression changed, as if he had aged more than ten years, and he said weakly: "The minister understands that many people have used this to impeach the minister recently, so the minister is here. Please resign and return to your hometown, and ask Your Majesty for your permission."

When the emperor heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"What's the reason for the servant? Chaozhong is a small storm, and if I don't answer it, why should you bother?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great love." Gu Xiaowu saluted with tears of gratitude, "But there are not a few people who are struggling with this matter recently, especially the prime minister, Mr. Gan Yi, who has dedicated himself to the country and the people. However, the villain is hard to guard against. I am unable to argue anymore, I implore Your Majesty to be loyal and return the minister to his hometown!"

The emperor was silent, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Gan Yi is right. These people have fallen into trouble, but they are useless. They don't think about remediation. They only see profit, but they work hard for you... So, I will give you an order immediately. Tell the rest of the officials not to cause trouble, you just try to solve this matter with all your strength, don't worry about it."

Gu Xiaowu couldn't help but beam with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"These memorials to impeach Yijing have been moved down together. Those who have fallen into trouble are not worthy of words!"
