I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 103
Gu Yuanbai said he wanted to investigate, so he should do it cleanly. Less than half an hour later, everyone came to Gu Yuanbai that day.
The Xuanzheng Hall in Ouchi is magnificent and majestic.
The palace attendants on both sides stood with their heads bowed, and the air was filled with the mellow fragrance of the palace. The red pillars are towering and silent. Such a majestic momentum makes people more fearful and nervous than that day in the wilderness.
The servants of the Xue family who were kneeling below did not dare to sweat. Gu Yuanbai sat on a high position, looked at the servants of the Xue family, and said lightly: “Tell me, what happened that day.”
The servant of the Xue Mansion bowed and said cautiously: “Your Majesty, the young ones just followed Mr. Chu to the countryside that day. They never spied on the Holy Spirit, and they definitely did not join in the conspiracy with those assassins.”
After they finished speaking, they waited with bated breath for the Holy Spirit’s attitude. Gu Yuanbai said casually: “Continue.”
They had no choice but to continue: “You guys never thought that the Holy Spirit was there. This is your fault, and you are willing to be punished.”
The slaves of the Xue Mansion are also loyal dogs to their masters.
Gu Yuanbai smiled, “Then tell me who sent you to follow Chu Qing.”
Chu Wei was silent. He was also here. Because he was summoned in a hurry, he was still wearing a blue uniform.
His black hair was slightly messed up by the winter wind, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was authorized by the Holy Spirit to stand straight aside and listen to the words of these servants of the Xue Mansion.
The people kneeling on the ground did not dare to deceive the king, “It was the Second Young Master who sent us to follow Mr. Chu.”
Only then did Chu Wei raise his eyebrows in surprise. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the servants.
Each of these servants is very strong, with strong muscles and a burly physique. They seem to have strong martial arts skills. Yes, if he had no ability, how could he be sent by Xue Yuan to kill him? I just don’t know if there are any of the people who beat him in the alley.
Chu Wei smiled when he thought of this. His green sleeves and robes drew a stream of clear water in the air. He bowed and bowed, and said with a slight doubt: “Second Young Master? But I have never known this Second Young Master.”
The servant in Xue’s house felt a thump in his heart and said, “It’s broken.”
They looked bitter and racked their brains to think of how to answer this. But Gu Yuanbai no longer wanted to listen to the untrue or false words they said.
He turned his head sideways, with the line of his chin connected to his slender neck, and said coldly: “Send the Dongling Guards to invite the second young master of the Xue Mansion. Since these people dare not tell the truth, it is necessary to alarm Mr. Xue. ”
“Check it bit by bit, and openly tell Mrs. Xue what the servants in their house have done. Find out all the letters between the two young masters in their house,” Gu Yuanbai half-bowed his head. , the black hair fell softly around the jade face, and he glanced at the people kneeling on the ground from the corner of his eye, “Even their rooms should be checked carefully.”
Everyone in the Xue Mansion hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, you guys can say anything!”
Gu Yuanbai smiled and said, “I don’t want to hear it anymore.”
*
Gu Yuanbai would use Dong Lingwei as his eyes and hands to see how things turned out for him.
The people of Dongling Guard are the best among the best soldiers. Their physical fitness is already strong and their logical thinking is even more rigorous. After half a year of training, their sensitivity and sharpness to clues have reached a new level.
The Dong Ling Guards bowed first and then moved forward. After politely signaling to Mrs. Xue, they divided into two groups to find out what the Holy Master wanted.
Dong Lingwei’s footsteps are very light, and he will not stay in a room for a long time after entering it. In less than two-quarters of an hour, the people of Dong Lingwei disappeared like a tide and left Xue Mansion cleanly.
The rooms they checked were still in order, without any chaos. Apart from missing the second son of the Xue Mansion, almost nothing else is missing.
The Second Young Master Xue was carried to the palace by the Dongling Guards and brought before the Holy Emperor.
His leg was still broken and he was a cripple. If anyone in the capital has the most unpleasant reputation, then no one can compare with the second Young Master Xue in front of him.
Gu Yuanbai picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his eyes still fixed on the memorial, and continued to review the government affairs: “Is this the second son of the Xue family? I still remember you.”
The thing that was written down by the Holy Spirit was not a good thing. Second Young Master Xue was lying on the ground, but he was even more nervous than the people kneeling beside him. He spoke tremblingly: “Your Majesty, Xue Lin, a common man, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for still remembering the common people.”
Gu Yuanbai raised his eyelids and glanced at him, “You are not like your brother.”
Second Young Master Xue said: “The younger one is not as good as the elder brother.”
Gu Yuanbai stopped talking, wrote the word “ke” on the memorial, and put it aside. He began to look at the evidence that Dong Lingwei put in front of him. Among them, the top one was a letter that was torn into pieces.
Dong Lingwei used his powerful investigative skills to find these fragments one by one from every corner of Xue Mansion, but some of them had disappeared in the wind and rain and could never be found again.
Qin Sheng, the leader of Dong Ling Guard, said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, Mrs. Xue only said that everything is decided by Your Majesty.”
Gu Yuanbai’s expression softened slightly: “I understand.”
He sat for a while, then stretched out his hand, and with his slender white jade fingers, he held the scrap of paper in front of him and read it.
*
A message spread from northern Xinjiang to the capital, and there were many uncertain risks involved.
Xue Yuan was not sure whether these words could really reach the capital or reach Gu Yuanbai’s ears.
And if it really reaches the capital, after passing through the layers of the inn, what will it look like in the end?
If there are people who are confused and have poor memory, who do not take this matter seriously, or who may have enemies with Xue Yuan, this sentence will be completely distorted.
During the days when he was unable to do anything in Northern Xinjiang, Xue Yuan thought about everything. The more he thought about it, the more serious the situation became. In the eyes of those around him, his mental state was so irritable that he looked like a lion whose tail had been stepped on and could not sleep.
The recent Khitan tribe has penetrated deep into the grassland and has no war to report. Xue Yuan was in gloom for several days, feeling that only by dealing with the nomads as soon as possible could he return to Beijing as early as possible.
He asked for orders from General Xue, and took his people under the cover of ice and snow to check the situation of Piqi and Tuliuyu again and again. He found that the two groups were already in contact and had a vague intention of forming an alliance.
The tens of thousands of Daheng soldiers stationed at the border finally made these tribes feel uneasy. They originally thought that the Daheng soldiers would retreat before the year, but they did not expect that judging from their posture, they would stay until after the year.
Why stay until after the new year? The soldiers of Daheng have been stationed at the border for so long. Anyone with any sense knows that the coming situation is bad.
By the time Xue Yuan brought the news back for discussion, in the capital, the Holy Emperor had already read through what the Dong Ling Guards had found out.
Including the pieced together letter that Xue Yuan wrote to Xue Lin.
The servants of the Xue family only thought that what was written in the letter was to kill Chu Wei, and they all turned pale at this moment. But Xue Er knew the content of the letter and was a little better than them. He even thought with some schadenfreude that he had done nothing. This letter was also written by Xue Yuan. If you want to punish Xue Yuan, then you should punish Xue Yuan.
After reading it, Gu Yuanbai raised his head, his face uncertain.
“Chu Qing, you have nothing to do with me here,” the Holy Sage suppressed the anger in his voice, “Thanks for your extra trip, please go back.”
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Chu Wei’s mind.
After the Holy Spirit found out the reason, did he think it had nothing to do with him? Or have you found evidence that Xue Yuan wants to kill him? Why don’t you tell him clearly?
However, Xue Yuan’s people could shamelessly confuse right and wrong in front of him and call the assassination a protection. Now that Chu Wei has left, won’t they become even more careless in lying?
But Chu Wei was still graceful and walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall leisurely.
Why compete with such villains for such petty profits? How the Holy One treats them is the most important thing.
Only people from the Xue Mansion were left in the palace. Gu Yuanbai leaned back on his chair and thought about things. The palace was so silent that even his breathing seemed to be clearly audible.
Silence is an invisible executioner, making people’s backs bend and their hearts uneasy.
“Tell me, do you have anything else to say?” Gu Yuanbai said solemnly, “I want you to tell the truth.”
Xue Er originally wanted to be the first to tell the truth, but the servants behind him would blame the fault on him. Unexpectedly, the servants behind him were more direct and spoke faster than him: “Your Majesty, it was the eldest son who sent a letter from the border to the second son. After reading it, the second son sent us to keep an eye on Mr. Chu. ”
It was this letter that was torn into pieces.
There were a few missing pieces in the letter, and some words were unclear, but Xue Yuan’s words when he sent people to stare at Chu Wei were definitely not in a good tone. Gu Yuanbai’s eyes moved to Xue Lin. When Xue Lin was frightened, he opened his mouth and read out the original words in the letter word for word.
The possessiveness and hidden thoughts towards Gu Yuanbai were looming in these words, and Tian Fusheng was frightened when he heard this.
“Shut up.” Gu Yuanbai said suddenly.
Second Young Master Xue obediently shut his mouth and found that His Majesty’s expression became even darker.
“You told me earlier that you were sent to protect Chu Qing,” Gu Yuanbai suppressed, “Is this how you come to deceive the king?”
How could these people endure the crime of deceiving the emperor? It would range from beheading to death, and at worst it would implicate the nine clans. The servants of the Xue family immediately raised their hands and slapped themselves in the face, “The young ones were deceived. An assassin happened to be assassinating him at that time, so they were too timid to tell the truth.”
These people were handed over by Gu Yuanbai to Dong Lingwei for disposal. After everyone was gone, the Holy Master looked at the things on the table and rubbed his forehead.
Xue Yuan didn’t play tricks on him, not even once.
Each of these things is related to Gu Yuanbai, and the secrets he hides in them have nothing to do with Chu Wei.
But he was so bold, and his desire to possess the emperor was clearly filling his mind. Second Young Master Xue couldn’t hear it, and no one else could hear it. But how could Gu Yuanbai, the person involved, not hear the undercurrent of the declaration of sovereignty? means.
Xue Yuan chased Gu Yuanbai closely. He was not afraid of others seeing his thoughts at all, but on the contrary, being so magnanimous and so shocked by the world, everyone subconsciously gave up the idea.
The fact that he was not fooled made Gu Yuanbai’s anger drop a lot and he became calm. But again, with such a letter and something too transcendent, what did he think of the emperor?
Do you regard the person who has become him as his property?
In front of him, he said that he was his master, but secretly he had developed a strong desire to control his master.
At one moment, I felt introspective and guilty because Xue Yuan had been misunderstood by him in vain because of my anger. At the same time, I also felt offended and vaguely resentful about Xue Yuan’s thoughts on him.
Does he see me as something in his pocket?
How could he be so brave? How could he be so brave?
There were complex emotions, and Gu Yuanbai couldn’t explain his final mood.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that his throat, which had been angry the past few days, was sore again.
Regardless of anything else, let’s just talk about this letter written by Xue Yuan to Xue Lin. He asked Xue Lin to write down these people who had close contact with Gu Yuanbai, and then wait for him to come back. What would he do when he came back?
Do you really plan to come to your door and scream to kill?
Kissed, touched, twice.
And that time I was soft-hearted.
Gu Yuanbai pinched his eyebrows, closed his eyes and straightened his lips. Her lips turned white from exertion, and she was filled with mixed emotions. For a moment, her anger gained the upper hand, and for a while, her guilt for misunderstanding others because of her anger gained the upper hand again.
He was saying nothing, but the captain of the guard next to him said anxiously: “Your Majesty, actually a month ago, Master Xue also wrote a letter to me.”
Gu Yuanbai was stunned and looked up at him.
The captain of the guard had a strange expression and seemed unable to guess what Xue Yuan meant: “Master Xue said that he had a disease and was feeling flustered. He had to eat flower petals from time to time to stop the panic. But where are the flowers in Northern Xinjiang? He asked me to send him some dried flower petals.”
Gu Yuanbai asked curiously: “Why are I telling you this?”
Can’t the people from Xue Mansion send it? And why does this sound so wrong?
The captain of the guard was unable to speak, and his face turned red: “Master Xue said that he was afraid that he had some serious illness that could not be cured. He wanted the blessing and protection of the Holy One. Therefore, he begged me to let him use the Holy Spirit to bathe. Take out the petals, dry them and send them to him.”
Gu Yuanbai: “…” When has he ever used flower petals?
The guilt in my heart suddenly disappeared, and the anger that followed became nondescript.
I can’t laugh or cry.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly woke up.
Why bother?
Wrong is wrong and right is right. Gu Yuanbai did something wrong, and he admitted it. Xue Yuan dared to think these things, but Gu Yuanbai couldn’t stop people’s thoughts. As long as he didn’t make any move that actually threatened others, Gu Yuanbai shouldn’t have done anything before these things happened. Use it to annoy yourself.
In comparison, Gu Yuanbai’s thinking seemed to have been restricted by the ancient environment.
He needs to blend into the current environment, but he should also stay awake at all times. Gu Yuanbai felt that the most valuable thing about him was the way of thinking cultivated by later generations, and this way of thinking taught him that no one can control other people’s thoughts.
He reflected on himself, suppressed other things for the time being, and only looked at his mistakes.
Gu Yuanbai agreed to compensate Xue Yuan, did he want the petals?
Gu Yuanbai turned his head and said to Tian Fusheng: “Go and find all the precious flowers in the capital and dry them.”
He cannot send petals that he has soaked, but he can send all the flowers that should bloom in this season and those that should not bloom in this season.
Since the first snowflake in Northern Xinjiang has been returned, let him compensate him for all the famous flowers in the capital.
