I am the leader of the capital

While the father and son were talking, a gentle woman came over. After seeing Gu Lingyuan, her eyes were full of joy, and she complained slightly: "Why didn't Yuan'er tell mother when she came back?"

"Mother, I have something to tell my father when I come back. I think it's noon and it's time to eat. I'll see you at the table later, so I'll come to my father to talk about things first. I plan to I'll see you after the chat." Seeing his mother, Gu Lingyuan stood up and said.

The woman's appearance is quite ordinary, even if she is rich and noble, she is not very attractive on the street, and she is even less attractive when standing next to Gu Shilang, who is faintly regarded as the middleman between Champion Hou and Qiu Chan. Many women fall in love with Gu Shilang Behind Zao's back, they all whispered that a king is a handsome man, but fortunately, Gu Shilang doesn't care much about his appearance, and the husband and wife are affectionate.

Gu Shilang watched as he walked up to the young man and carefully looked at the young man for any women who had lost weight in the past few days, and said gently: "Yuan'er and I still have something to talk about, Madam, go prepare the meals first, we will go there right away." .”

"Well, if you have something to do, you can talk first." The gentle woman walked away with a smile.

Watching his mother walk away, Gu Lingyuan continued: "The world-renowned champion Hou died of serious illness overnight, and the Tiance Divine Army who had high hopes disappeared silently. These are not small things. Logically speaking, this matter must be There will be thousands of trials, and it will become a big event that the world hears about, but the emperor and the champion are silent, so this matter is definitely not simple."

"Then why do you think this matter is not made public? Why did the emperor and Bai Shangshu hide it?" The middle-aged man dressed in the clothes of a scholar asked the young man.

Gu Lingyuan thought for a long time, looked at his son who was frowning and thinking, Gu Shilang did not urge him, and waited quietly. The young man thought for a while, and he was not very sure: "Maybe it is an unspeakable scandal?"

"anything else?"

The young man shook his head, indicating that he couldn't think of anything else, and the man said, "Didn't you think about it so as not to cause unnecessary panic?"

"Ah?" Gu Lingyuan was shocked. If he concealed it to avoid unnecessary panic, wouldn't it mean that the danger is still there, but the royal family has no ability to solve it, so it can only be concealed?

Looking at his surprised son, the middle-aged man said softly: "Do you think this may cause the entire empire to panic, and how many people should know the news that makes countless traitors and thieves excited?"

"Of course, the less the better." The young man took it for granted, and immediately realized why his father asked this question after he finished speaking, and said: "So the less people who know about such a big thing, the better, and Bai Shangshu is One of the informed ones, so his status is higher than all?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Going back to the previous topic, why do you want to dissuade the Junzi Building where you are located from retaliating against Xueyu Villa? Besides you think this Bai Shangshu has a high status, what else?"

"There is also the old lady of the Zhao family. Back then, the old lady single-handedly pushed the emperor to the throne of God. Naturally, his status is self-evident. Now two people who seem to have deviated from the court appeared together in the palace, and then there was a royal marriage. The news about the villa, I think this is the strangest thing."

The young man didn't stop and said: "According to common sense, the empire has been reducing the feudal clan and suppressing the family of the rivers and lakes. If the eldest princess is married into such a family of the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Xueyu Villa more rights? So I suspect that Xueyu Villa has the weight and ability to force the royal family to join forces."

Gu Shilang nodded, feeling quite relieved and said: "Yes, it's really good that you can think of these yourself."

"But I can't think of anything else, and I always feel that something is missing." The young man scratched his head.

The middle-aged man looked at the colorful courtyard, "Didn't you say that the status of the old master and the champion queen is not simple, so do you think the old master knows about the loneliness of the champion Hou back then?"

"Old Madam Fu single-handedly pushed the emperor to the throne, and he didn't take credit for it. The emperor should respect him very much, and he should discuss such things with him."

Gu Shilang pointed out, "Yes, but you have been proving that Bai Shangshu's status is very high through various arguments, and then you said that the old lady Fu has a high status, and the two high-status people agree to join forces with Xueyu Villa, then It must be because of the ability of Xueyu Villa to attract the emperor.

Didn't you think about it again?Have you ever thought that Xueyu Villa would be the one that made Bai Shangshu abolished and the Tiance Divine Army disappeared out of thin air?Did the royal family win over him because they were more valuable, or did they bring too much fear to the emperor?I never thought that the marriage was for them to help the empire, or to prevent their Xueyu Villa from shaking the empire? "

"How is it possible?" Gu Lingyuan's eyes widened. It's not that he couldn't think of this truth, but he never dared to think about it. It was too horrifying.

Gu Shilang smiled, "Why is that impossible? Let me ask you what Lin Jinghuang's identity is?"

"The daughter of the emperor's queen?"

"What about the status?"

"Emperor princess?"

"What about the marriage status of the eldest princesses of the past?"

Gu Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't know, so he shook his head, and the very handsome Gu Shilang ordered: "Go to dinner now, after eating, you can check the marriage status of the eldest princesses in the past, and in the future, you will be involved in such issues When the time comes, the first thing to do is not to speculate, but to investigate the people involved.

Only if you have all the information, then your next speculation can be accurate. Secondly, you must be bold. The more unsolved cases, the more bold things that no one has guessed, because everyone has thought about ordinary situations, and everyone can understand them. The things you think of will not become secrets. Everyone can't think of it, it must be too wild, then you have to think even more out of tune. "

Looking at his father who was pointing at him, Gu Lingyuan nodded and followed his father to eat. On the way, Gu Shilang suddenly turned his head and said to the young man behind him: "Don't tell anyone about this."

Looking at the young man in a daze, Gu Shilang said: "Eat the emperor's salary, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, this matter will damage the interests of the empire, so don't tell anyone, even if it is Junzilou who is provoking Xueyu Villa recklessly. Don't worry about it, even if Junzilou is dead, you don't want to talk about it everywhere, you know?"

Gu Lingyuan hesitated and struggled for a while, and finally nodded slowly. Gu Shilang looked at Gu Lingyuan and said: "Remember, my Gu family is not a clean family, but traitors are not allowed. You can take a good look at the matter of Xueyu Villa. Not surprisingly, this behemoth wants to stand up after it comes out of the mountain, so it waits for others to pick things up and show its strength, and your gentleman building is a stepping stone."

As a child of Junzilou, Gu Lingyuan pretended that the sect was powerful and noble. For a while, someone told him that a force without any prestige could wrestle with Junzilou. He still didn't believe it. He went back to stop Junzilou and Xueyu Villa The reason for the confrontation is that they realize that Xueyu Villa is not weak, and they are not willing to make enemies out of thin air in Junzilou, but if someone can step on Junzilou to go up, he will not believe it if he is killed.

Looking at Gu Lingyuan who still couldn't believe it, Gu Shilang said: "If you don't believe me, look, the troubles of your Junzilou will come soon, even if you don't go to him, they will find a reason to let the world know his strength, you gentleman Lou Cong has been passive since that mindless second elder took action, and will definitely become a stepping stone for Xueyu Villa to become famous."

"I still don't believe it. If they really had that strength, they would have been famous a long time ago. What are they doing in that Qinglin City? I just want to win over that Yun Qianyu because he can learn the Thousand Feather Excalibur, and I don't want the sect Conflicted with them, but no matter how powerful the Thousand Feathers Excalibur is, I don't believe that everyone of them can do it. The only person in Xueyu Villa who can make a big fuss is the person who made a big fuss in Zhennan Wangfu, but my Junzilou is not a vegetarian. How is it possible to overwhelm us?" Gu Lingyuan frowned.

Gu Shilang smiled and said no more, "If you don't believe me, just watch."

Gu Lingyuan ate this meal very quickly. He was anxious to check the information. After eating, he hurried to the library. After searching in the library, he found some brochures recording the royal family members, and began to inquire about what his father mentioned. The marriage status of the eldest princesses of the past dynasties.

As one book after another was picked up and put down, the young man's complexion became worse and worse. Almost every record was the same. All the son-in-laws of the eldest princess's mansion were from small families, and the eldest princess was far inferior to others. The princess married well, or in other words, in order to prevent the rights of the eldest princess from being taken away by her husband's family, the eldest princess does not marry, but only recruits a son-in-law.

It's obvious where the problem is. There can only be two explanations for Empress Jinghuang's sudden appearance of marrying, or it is a greater benefit. After the eldest princess is married, compared with the transfer of rights, the royal family You can get more things, and the second is a formal marriage. In order to show that you value the marriage, you will naturally send the highest-ranking princess, and the highest-ranking princess is naturally the eldest princess.

Cold sweat fell drop by drop on the wooden floor. When he found the book he wanted, he sat on the floor and flipped through it casually. The young man's hand holding the book was a little white, and finally dropped the book and ran to his father's study. At this point, the father should Take care of things in the study.

Hearing the footsteps after opening the door, Gu Shilang put down the pen in his hand, slightly raised his head to look at the sweaty young man in front of the table, and said, "Have you found any relevant records? What do you think?"

"It is recorded that all the princesses marry are from small households, without any exception." The young Gu Lingyuan still had a white cloth wrapped around his hands, looking at his calm father and said.

After Gu Lingyuan grew up, Gu Shilang began to try to let him think about various things in the court. The middle-aged man sitting behind the long table said to the young man: "Then what do you think the royal family may have an exception this time? what happened?"

"Either it is to get more benefits after decentralization, or it is to show the sincerity of the royal family." Gu Lingyuan said with confidence.

"anything else?"

Gu Lingyuan was stunned for a moment. He couldn't think of anything else, so Gu Shilang guided him: "What do you think the royal family will think of this power that threatens the ruling? What will they do?"

"Destroy it directly. If you don't have this ability, then do it a little bit, and first make it empty or buy the ghost." Gu Lingyuan thought for a while and said.

The middle-aged man nodded, and continued to guide: "But everyone is confused about Xueyu Villa, and they don't even know who the person with the power of speech is, how can they buy it?"
