The first male queen [crossing]

Faced with Jingbianhou's resolute statement, the emperor did not believe a word, otherwise, he would not have said that he suspected that Mrs. Jingbianhou had informed the people of Rongdi about his tour.

Gu Junci wanted to say something more, but Linyang Wang stretched out his hand to stop him.

The emperor then ordered Jingbianhou and his son to be detained pending trial, and sent Xie Suiyun to Yunzhong to arrest Jingbianhou's family and bring them to Hanyang Pass.

No matter how Xu Yanqing complained about being wronged, the emperor still did not change the verdict, and even Gu Junci could only watch helplessly as he was taken away and was helpless.

Although it was early summer, it was still cloudy and cloudy. In the morning, the sky was clear because of the victory, but after noon, it was covered with dark clouds, as if there would be a gust of wind and heavy rain in an instant.

Gu Junci, who had been following Linyang King, frowned all the time, with a gloomy expression on his face. Finally, he couldn't help but tell Linyang King where he was going, and led his horse out of Hanyang Pass.

In front of the mountain road, Gu Junci stood guard at the intersection, one man and one horse, watching Xie Suiyun leading the soldiers and horses approaching slowly, he couldn't help standing up straight.

Xie Suiyun wasn't surprised that Gu Junci would appear here at all, he dismounted after getting close, and walked up to Gu Junci: "It's useless for you to stop me, this is His Majesty's will."

Gu Jun said: "Brother Xu is still our classmate, and there are still many doubts about this matter."

Xie Suiyun: "I will not resist the order."

Gu Junci looked at him with a little surprise, although Xie Suiyun's face was as cold as before, but there was no unkindness in his eyes as before.

"I will not let Mrs. Jingbian Hou suffer," Xie Suiyun said, "I will protect her. This is the only thing I can do."

Gu Junci knew that he couldn't persuade Xie Suiyun anymore. He was ordered by the emperor to arrest the family members of the Marquis of Jingbian. The root cause of this matter was the emperor. Now he stopped Xie Suiyun, and he didn't know why he did this.

Gu Junci didn't stop him anymore, he just led the horse sideways, letting Xie Suiyun and his party pass quickly, but when he looked up helplessly, he saw Xiao Yuan who was leading the horse and looking at him.

He looked dignified, and saluted Gu Junci with his sword in his hand from a distance, but he didn't leave, as if he was waiting for Gu Junci to come and find him.

Naturally, Gu Junci did not disappoint him, leading the horse to walk in front of him, not shying away from his depressed and disturbed expression at the moment.

Xiao Yuan: "I came here specially to find you, the King of Linyang said that you would definitely not be able to figure it out."

Gu Junci laughed at himself, this Linyang King is indeed Gu Junci's adoptive father, it is really surprising that he was able to figure out Gu Junci's temperament in such a short time.

Xiao Yuan led the horse back with Gu Junci: "Jingbianhou is a loyal and upright man, and Jingbianhou was also one of the candidates who strongly advocated a thorough investigation of the matter of the crown prince being framed and then hanging himself in the East Palace. "

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise, but he didn't seem to feel that something was wrong, as if standing in front of him was a person who could put his heart and soul on his hands and entrust his life to him.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly and smiled: "Brother Gu, don't be surprised, I didn't treat you as an outsider."

Gu Junci: "Yes, I know."

Xiao Yuan continued: "The Marquis of Jingbian has no power in the court, but he was able to be named Marquis of Jingbian not because he is the Patriarch of the Xu family in Yunzhong. When he was young, he was also a powerful figure, he had a fine cavalry under his command, but there were only 18 cavalry, but it was the eighteen cavalry that terrified the Rongdi people."

Gu Junci was a little surprised: "It's so powerful."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "That's right, the Marquis of Jingbian was able to become a Marquis because of his military achievements, and he was also the most promising young general in the imperial court. He lost power later, not because of anything else, but because of marrying a wife."

Gu Junci hurriedly answered: "I heard from the prime minister that Brother Xu's mother is from the Yan family of Zhuozhou. Because of colluding with Western Shu, the first emperor fell into a trap, and then the family was defeated."

Xiao Yuan didn't take it seriously: "The Yan family of Zhuozhou...is a family that was defeated before I was born. I was not fortunate to know the rise and fall of this family, but I heard from my mother that Jingbianhou is a manly man. The marriage has not been changed. In order to protect Mrs. Yan, he took her back to Yunzhong before King Linyang arrived in Zhuozhou, and even held a grand wedding, and Mrs. Yan also escaped because of a foreign marriage. arrest."

For some reason, when Gu Junci heard these words from Xiao Yuan's mouth, he always felt a bit of admiration in his tone.

Gu Jun said: "So, because of this, Jingbian Hou lost power in the court, and even aroused the suspicion of the late emperor, because even if Mrs. Yan married into Yunzhong, she would never be able to get rid of her being the daughter of the Yan family in Zhuozhou. ?”

Xiao Yuan nodded and agreed with Gu Junci's words: "In addition to the former crown prince, Marquis Jingbian was also the one who advocated a thorough investigation, which finally led to Xie Ziyin's death. Prime Minister Xie has never forgotten revenge, he will avenge my father , will naturally attack Jingbian Hou."

Gu Junci suddenly realized, and quickly walked forward, but was stopped by Xiao Yuan: "What are you doing?"

"Of course, Your Majesty should take it back. This matter may be framed by Prime Minister Xie." Gu Junci said.

Xiao Yuan looked calm, and he nodded and sighed: "Do you really think His Majesty will take back his life? Who was the final beneficiary of the Donggong case back then. Now that Rong Di is withdrawing troops, the person who sent the message may have already fled. Based on one side's speculation, do you think His Majesty will agree to let Marquis Jingbian go?"

Gu Junci was a little bit overwhelmed by Xiao Yuan's transparent opinion, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this matter could not be settled by framing Prime Minister Xie.

Jingbian Hou was framed because the emperor himself was unwilling to let him go, so even if there were many flaws, he would not investigate.

Xiao Yuan stood beside Gu Junci, and said in relief: "This is also the purpose of King Linyang asking me to come to you."

Gu Junci stared at his calm eyes: "What?"

Xiao Yuan said: "There are quite a lot of traitors in the court, and it is only because he is the king of Linyang that he can stand upright. As long as he lives, he can protect the country and stabilize it for a day. He is afraid that one day he will let go and go west, and the court will be in chaos. The country will be in chaos."

Gu Junci: "There are many traitors and sycophants in the court. It's not because your majesty listens and trusts."

Xiao Yuan was silent, as if he agreed with Gu Junci's words, and then said after a while: "Actually, King Linyang is not a foolish and loyal person, he just thinks that as long as he is around, he can suppress those treacherous people for a while, and he will be able to protect himself." When the country is peaceful for a while, the people of the world can live in peace, and generally speaking, it is for the people of the world."

Gu Junci snorted coldly: "I can't keep such a rotten country and such a disgusting court. I would rather wander around the world before I go home."

Xiao Yuan looked at him for a while, the tenderness in his eyes was like a trickle, and it was transmitted to Gu Junci's ears through his voice:

"But the people are innocent. The people under the court like this are the biggest victims. They work hard but they have to bear heavy taxes. But if the only person who can think about the people has retreated from the world, no matter how corrupt the country is, The disgusting court, aren't the people too innocent?"

Gu Junci's gentle tone struck the softest part of his heart word by word: "People..."

Xiao Yuan: "Brother Gu is the prince, so he is naturally a person with the world in mind. If you met such an imperial court, what would you do?"

Gu Junci's heart felt as if he had received a heavy blow, and he didn't recover for a long time. He could only look at Xiao Yuan's gentle face in front of him, with firm ambitions and even unknown thoughts.

"If you can't find out the leaks and make up for the gaps in time, you will have to sink the boat." Gu Junci said firmly.

Xiao Yuan smiled, led the horse and walked forward, then stopped and turned his head to look at Gu Junci and said: "A gentleman does something, and he doesn't do something, it just depends on the meaning of what he does."

Gu Junci only felt that the mountain breeze was blowing on his face, which was extraordinarily refreshing, and even Xiao Yuan's back was engraved into his heart at this moment.

Gu Junci hurriedly led the horse to follow him: "My adoptive father asked you to tell me these words?"

Xiao Yuan: "The king of Linyang is letting you understand that the matter in front of you is a foregone conclusion, so don't do things like a mantis' arm, but these things may not have a turning point."

Gu Junci: "Turning opportunity? What turning point?"

Xiao Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said: "You have to ask King Linyang, I have to go back to see my father, he said before that he wanted to tell me something."

Gu Junci still wanted to ask again, but saw Xiao Yuan get on his horse, but after glancing at him, he rode away.

After returning to Hanyang Pass, Xiao Yuan went directly to Lanling Xiao's camp, and Gu Junci had no choice but to part ways with him and enter Linyang King's camp.

At this time, besides King Linyang, there was also his third eunuch, Huo Qingling, in the army tent.

Seeing that Gu Jun had resigned, Huo Qingling cupped his fists and said, "The thirteenth brother is back, so the adoptive father should be relieved."

After Gu Jun resigned and returned the gift, he said: "Let the adoptive father worry about it. Brother Xu was my classmate when I was studying in Langya, so I..."

The King of Linyang looked serious, and he just let out a long sigh: "This king is the younger brother of the late emperor. He holds a heavy army in his hand and protects my country forever. But now that a traitor is in power, and your majesty is the emperor of the dynasty, even if I am his Uncle Emperor, but he is only a subject, Your Majesty was deceived by treacherous sycophants, and the only thing that can be served as a subject is to persuade him, and then try his best to bring him back to the right path."

Gu Jun resigned and saluted, but did not answer his words directly.

The King of Linyang looked at him directly and said: "Your Majesty, he was deceived by Xie Zichong for a while, so he did many things wrong. It is only because of the family of Jingzhao and Xie behind Xie Zichong, this king is not good at doing anything unless They are ambitious and want to usurp the throne, otherwise, they really can't do him."

Gu Junci pursed his lips, and said after a long time: "The Jingbianhou family suffered wronged for nothing?"

King Linyang stroked his beard lightly: "Marquis Jingbian has made countless military achievements in his life, but he did one thing wrong, that is, he married a woman from the Yan family. Now His Majesty wants to take him under the knife, and there is nothing he can do about it."

Gu Junci hurriedly argued: "Father, since you know that Jingbian Hou was killed by a traitor, you should save him, so that you will not kill loyal ministers arbitrarily, and the country will last forever."

King Linyang: "Your Majesty is determined and will not make any changes, but this king can allow you to do one thing for the Jingbianhou family, and only one thing, so it's the end of your classmate relationship with Xu Yanqing. "
