Chapter 468 Gu's Counterattack

When Gu Zhen heard the news, he explained that this must be a conspiracy by Xuanqing Palace, and he couldn't help being so anxious that his eyes almost went dark!

The Marquis of Longping is gone, and the son inherited the throne as the Earl. The Marquis, the Gu family took it for a few days without saying anything. The key point is that the new Earl Longping is the same as the previous Uncle Zhaowu, regardless of power and status. Ability and prestige are not at the same level.

No matter how the Tian family favors, all in all, the decline of the Gu family was previously expected because there were no successors, but now it is a handful of days.

Now the only hope for the Gu family and her is that the prince under her knees will be able to establish the East Palace.

As a result, the rumors pointed directly at the mother-child relationship in Zhonggong.

If the Eastern Palace comes from Gu Zhen's knees but is not in harmony with Gu Zhen, then does such an Eastern Palace have any meaning for the Queen and Gu Shi?

"Can you find out the source of the rumor?" Gu Zhen gritted his teeth, grabbed the hand of his confidant, and asked in a deep voice, "If there is proof, this palace..."

What disappointed her was that the servants all shook their heads: "There will be no clues in the palaces that don't have masters."

After all, when Gu Fangshu was still alive before, Concubine Min Gui was in the palace and no one dared to provoke her. Now that Gu Fangshu is gone, everyone can see that the Gu family is bound to decline rapidly. At this time, who would dare to offend for the queen? Concubine?

Besides, if the people on the imperial concubine's side acted so easily, she would not be able to get into her current position.

The queen was so stunned that she couldn't say anything, and her condition worsened the next day.

The servants looked worried, and sent a letter to Mrs. Gu in private, asking Mrs. Gu to think of a way. After all, the only bargaining chip the Gu family has now is the position of queen and the two princes.

In any case, there is no room for loss.

However, the old man received the news, but there was no movement. When the attendants were anxious, at the court meeting, the old man with white beard and hair suddenly appeared on the table, and publicly impeached Cui Wan's disciple, Min Guifei's brother, and the next treasury minister. Master Xie Xiaoyu!

The reason is that Xie Xiaoyu bribed Gu Fangshu's concubine to murder Longpinghou!

It was only when this matter was said that the government and the public were shocked!

Because Xie Xiaoyu had already returned to his hometown to continue his filial piety, it was inconvenient for Yin Qu to refute this kind of matter directly, so he could only put on a matter-of-fact attitude and ask Old Master Gu to present evidence.

"Sure enough." In Xuanqing Palace, seeing Chen Jing who came to report in a hurry, Yun Fenghuang didn't panic, and said softly, "Since he dared to make trouble in the temple, there must be something... but I don't know. What evidence did you provide?"

Chen Jing wiped his cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "Old Master Gu said, they started from the concubine's room that did the murder, followed the clues, and found out about the concubine's room... the biological father of the bastard born in that concubine's room is not actually the deceased. Marquis Longping!"

"... Is this true or false?" Yun Fenghuang was stunned, and frowned slightly, "Is this old man surnamed Gu trying to kill himself? This kind of thing does not matter whether it is true or not, even if Gu Fangshu's bones are not cold, he can tell it ?!"

"Old Master Gu said it was true, and said that if it wasn't so, the concubine's room was deeply loved by the Marquis of Longping, and his own flesh and blood was also the youngest son that the Marquis of Longping favored. Both mother and son depended on Marquis Longping for their future, how could Marquis Longping not have any? Now, even if we don't find out what she did, what good will it do for their mother and son?"

This is a fact, after all, even if this concubine was sent by Mrs. Longpinghou to serve Longpinghou, but they all have sons, then of course they have to please Longpinghou and support more of their own children.

Otherwise, when Marquis Longping passed away, she would return to the mistress to obey orders. Gu Fangshu had quite a few heirs, and Madam Longpinghou raised her own flesh and blood, and even her grandchildren would not be able to make it in time. How could she care about a young son from a concubine? At most, they don't suppress their mother and son, but as for the promotion, they are overthinking.

Chen Jing sped up his speech and continued, "Old Master Gu said that the empress used this trick to manipulate the concubine's room to kill Long Ping Hou. Otherwise, the truth will be revealed, regardless of whether Long Ping Hou is alive or dead, both mother and son will be able to escape the blame." !"

Yun Fenghuang pondered, and said: "He can tell, who is the blood of the youngest son born in the concubine's room?"

"It is said that the concubine had an affair with the servant while Marquis Longping was away."

The noble concubine sighed, the Gu family seemed to be serious this time, they tore off the face of Gu Fangshu, who was still dead, and even the face of the whole family, and threw them on the ground to be trampled on!

Paying such a price was naturally for the purpose of pulling Yun Fenghuang down, or even killing him with one blow.

... I don't know what the Queen Mother Yuan promised to the Gu family, or what guided them?

But if you think about it carefully, even if Queen Mother Yuan didn't do this, the Gu family should have had this struggle.

After all, when Gu Fangshu was around, even if the Gu family couldn't do anything to Yun Fenghuang, at least they still had a certain amount of power to protect themselves, and had a considerable bargaining chip and weight.

Now that Gu Fangshu is gone, the Gu family will plummet in a short time.

In the future, whether they can get the seats of masters of East Palace and Qingci Palace promised by Chunjia can only depend on the emperor's conscience.

The problem is, this son of heaven has the common characteristics of Mingjun throughout the ages, that is, the city is deep, the wrist is flexible, and he is not bound by credit at all...

In addition, Yun Fenghuang is not a good opponent, so he will definitely not let go of any opportunity to suppress Zhonggong.

Rather than resigning to fate in the future, it is better to fight to the death now.

Even if they lose, the chances of the emperor's subordinates being merciful are a little higher because of the fact that Gu Fangshu has just passed away.

Otherwise, if the limelight is over, maybe the whole Gu family will follow in the footsteps of the Ji family and the Yuan family.

Having figured this out, Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked slowly, "What did Yin Qu say?"

"Master Yin said that the Xie family has a humble family background, and the eighteenth son is young. Where did he get the ability to extend his hand to such a high-ranking family as the Gu family?" Chen Jing smiled bitterly, "But the old master Gu said that the Gu family These two generations have no talents, otherwise they would not have arranged a problematic family son to be with Longpinghou, not to mention that the deputy chief executive in front of the empress had all gone wrong before, so it was reasonable and reasonable to be murdered by the eighteenth prince. "

This is more tricky. Gu's current strategy is to put aside the dignity of the rich and powerful, and just be ashamed!

Obviously the biggest loophole in his accusation is that Xie Xiaoyu doesn't have the ability and power to control the people next to Longping Hou's pillow, but he brought up the previous case and admitted that he was incompetent, what can others do?

Of course, Yin Qu was not a cheap lamp, so he immediately said: "It is well known that the Gu family is honest and honest. If this is the case, the truth you found out may not be the truth."

The implication is that since you know that you are a waste, then don't think about it carefully. The real murderer you so-called follow the clues to find out is really the real murderer? Is it necessary to be used as a knife?

Then Mrs. Gu said that there would be nothing wrong this time, because he had personal and physical evidence of Xie Xiaoyu's spying on Gu Fangshu's left and right, which can be said to be conclusive evidence! Let me ask Xie Xiaoyu, a mere son of Xie's family, if he didn't have malicious intentions, what would he do to inquire about Gu Fangshu?

Even the old man clearly suspected that the assassin who assassinated Gu Fangshu in the army had something to do with Xie Xiaoyu.

In front of everyone, he burst into tears, expressing that he did not want the rewards given to Gu by the royal family in the past two days, and even the inherited title, he wanted to seek justice for his son!

He is also qualified to say that, after all, everyone knows that Gu Fangshu has been guarding the border for many years, and there is hard work without credit, right?

"Your Majesty hasn't made a statement yet, but... the court is already whispering." Chen Jing was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "Master Yin is also in a long exam, and he can't refute anything for a while."

The main reason is that it is absolutely impossible for Yun Fenghuang to disclose the matter of Yao Yin, not even Yin Qu.

So Yin Qu never thought that Gu Fangshu's death would involve the imperial concubine.

In his opinion, this is purely the concubine's luck. As for Gu Fangshu's death, it is simply nonsense: the concubine has this ability, but can Gu Fangshu live until now? !

At this moment, he was inevitably caught off guard.

Chen Jing endured her panic and said, "Now the former court is still arguing, and the father-in-law in front of the imperial court asked the servants to remind the empress in private, saying that this matter may cause a big trouble."

"... I know." Yun Fenghuang narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I expected this on the day, and although things are different from what was expected, it's nothing."

Hearing this, the servants were all relieved.

After all, this wasn't the first time Yun Fenghuang turned defeat into victory.

It's just that they didn't know that this time, Yun Fenghuang's heart felt a heaviness that was rarely seen before.
