I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Gu Yuanbai said he wanted to investigate, so he did it cleanly.Half an hour later, all the people that day came in front of Gu Yuanbai.

The Xuanzheng Hall in Ouchi is resplendent and magnificent.

The palace servants on both sides stood with their heads bowed, and the air was filled with a mellow palace fragrance.The red pillars towered high and burst out quietly. Such a magnificent momentum made people more fearful and tense than those days in the wilderness.

The servants of the Xue family who were kneeling below did not dare to break out in sweat. Gu Yuanbai sat on a high seat, looked at the servants of the Xue family, and said calmly: "Tell me, what happened that day."

The servant of the Xue residence bowed and saluted, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the little ones just followed Mr. Chu to the countryside that day, and never spied on the holy trace, and never joined forces with those assassins."

After they finished speaking, they waited with bated breath for His Majesty's attitude.Gu Yuanbai said casually: "Continue."

They had no choice but to continue: "You little ones never thought that the Holy One was there. This is your fault, and you are willing to be punished."

The servants of the Xue family are also loyal dogs to their masters.

Gu Yuanbai smiled, "Then tell me who sent you to follow Chu Qing."

Chu Wei kept silent, he was also here, and because he was called urgently, he was still wearing a blue uniform.

His black hair was slightly disheveled by the winter wind, and thin sweat rose from his forehead.He was authorized by the Holy Majesty to stand erect and bow his head to listen to the words of these servants of the Xue family.

The people kneeling on the ground did not dare to deceive the king, "It was the Second Young Master who sent us to follow Master Chu."

Only then did Chu Wei raise his eyebrows in surprise, he tilted his head slightly, and looked at these servants.

Each of these domestic servants is very strong, with strong muscles and a burly physique, and they seem to have some high-strength martial arts in their hands.That's right, 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 those people who beat him in the alley.

Chu Wei smiled when he thought of this, his green shirt sleeves and gown streaked across the air, bowed his body in salute, and said slightly puzzled: "Second Young Master? But I have never known this Second Young Master."

The servant in Xue's mansion thumped in his heart, and said, it's broken.

They looked bitter and racked their brains to figure out how to answer the words.However, Gu Yuanbai no longer wanted to listen to their unidentified words.

He turned his head sideways, with the line of his chin connected to his slender neck, and said indifferently: "Send people from Donglingwei to invite the second son of the Xue family. Since these people dare not tell the whole story, it is necessary to alarm Old Master Xue people."

"Investigate bit by bit, and openly tell Madam Xue what the servants in their family have done. Find out all the letters between the rooms of the two young masters in their mansion," Gu Yuanbai half-bowed his head , the black hair slipped softly beside the jade-like face, and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground from the corner of the eye, "Even check their rooms carefully."

Everyone in the Xue residence hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you little ones can say anything!"

Gu Yuanbai smiled and said, "But I don't want to listen."

Gu Yuanbai would use Dong Lingwei as his eyes and hands to see what was going on for him.

Everyone in Dongling Guard is the best of the best soldiers. Their physical fitness is already strong, and their logical thinking is more meticulous.After half a year of training, their sensitivity and sharpness to clues have reached a new level.

Dong Lingwei saluted first and then soldiers. After politely signaling to Mrs. Xue, they split into two groups to check what the Holy Master wanted.

Dong Lingwei's footsteps are very light, and he won't stay in a room for a long time after entering a room.In less than a quarter of an hour, Dong Lingwei's people faded away like a tide, and left Xue's mansion cleanly.

The room they inspected was still orderly, without any confusion.Except for the loss of the second son of the Xue family, almost nothing else was missing.

The second son Xue was carried to the palace by Dong Lingwei's people and sent to the Holy Majesty.

His leg was still broken and he became a cripple.If anyone in Beijing has the worst reputation, then no one can compare to the Second Young Master Xue in front of him.

Gu Yuanbai took a sip from his teacup, his eyes still fixed on the memorial, and continued to review the government affairs: "This is the second son of the Xue family? I still remember you."

The thing that was remembered by the Holy One is not a good thing.The Second Young Master Xue was lying on the ground, but he was more nervous than the people kneeling beside him, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Xue Lin, the grassroots, I am grateful to you for remembering the grassroots."

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "You are not like your elder brother."

Second Master Xue said: "The young 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 Dong Lingwei put in front of him, among which, the top one was a letter that was torn into pieces.

Dong Lingwei used his powerful investigative skills to find these pieces one by one from every corner of the Xue residence, but some of them had dissipated in the wind and rain and could never be found again.

Qin Sheng, the leader of Dongling Guard, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xue only said that everything is decided by the Holy Majesty."

Gu Yuanbai's expression eased slightly: "I know."

He sat for a while, then stretched out his hand, his slender fingers were heavy in white jade, and brought the scrap of paper in front of him to read.

A word of mouth is transmitted from northern Xinjiang to the capital, and there are many uncertain risks in it.

Xue Yuan was not sure whether this sentence could really reach the capital, and whether it could reach Gu Yuanbai's ears.

And if it really spreads to the capital, after passing through layers of post stations, what will the words eventually look like?

If there are people who are confused and have a poor memory, who don't take this matter as a matter of course, and maybe there are people who have enemies with Xue Yuan, this sentence will be completely distorted.

During the days when he couldn't do anything in northern Xinjiang, Xue Yuan thought about everything, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about the situation in a serious direction.In the eyes of those around him, his mental state was as irritable as a lion whose tail had been stepped on and could not sleep.

The recent Khitan tribe has gone deep into the grassland, and there is no war to write about.Xue Yuan was in doubt for a few days, and felt that only by dealing with the nomad as soon as possible could he return to Beijing sooner.

He asked General Xue for orders, and led people to investigate the situation of Pitch and Tu Liuyu several times under the cover of ice and snow, and found that the two departments had already been connected, and there was a faint intention to form 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 a year ago, but they didn't expect to see their posture, they would stay until the next year.

Why stay until the next year?Daheng soldiers have to be stationed at the border for so long, and anyone with a little brain knows that the coming is not good.

By the time Xue Yuan brought the news back to the discussion, in the capital, the Holy One had already finished reading what Dong Lingwei 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 for Chu Wei's life, and their faces were a little pale at the moment.But Xue Er knew the contents of the letter, and he was better than them. He even thought gloatingly that he didn't do anything. This letter was also written by Xue Yuan.

After reading it, Gu Yuanbai raised his head, his face was uncertain.

"Chu Qing, it's none of your business here," the Holy Majesty suppressed his anger, "It's hard work for you to make an extra trip, go back."

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Chu Wei's mind.

Did the Holy Majesty think it had nothing to do with him after finding out the reason?Or did they find evidence that Xue Yuan wanted to kill him, so why not tell him clearly?

However, Xue Yuan's people could shamelessly turn black and white in front of him, calling the assassination a protection. Now that Chu Wei is gone, wouldn't they care less about lying?

But Chu Wei was still personable, and left the Xuanzheng Hall leisurely.

Why do you have to compete with such villains for such petty gains? How the Holy One treats them is the most important thing.

Only people from the Xue family were left in the palace, Gu Yuanbai leaned back in his chair thinking about something, the palace was so silent that even his breathing seemed to be audible.

Silence is an invisible executioner, bending people's backs and making them feel uneasy.

"Tell me, what else do you have 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 pushed the blame on him.Unexpectedly, the servants behind him were more direct than him and spoke faster: "My lord, it was the eldest son who sent a letter back to the second son from the border. After the second son read it, he sent us to keep an eye on Mr. Chu." .”

This is the torn letter.

A few dollars were missing in the letter, and some words were unclear, but the words Xue Yuan sent someone to stare at Chu Wei were not in a good tone, and Gu Yuanbai's eyes moved to Xue Lin.As soon as Xue Lin was afraid, he opened his mouth and read out the original words in the letter word by word.

The possessiveness and hidden thoughts towards Gu Yuanbai were faintly visible in these words, and Tian Fusheng who heard the knowledge was terrified.

"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 came to deceive the king?"

How can these people bear the crime of deceiving the emperor? If it is light, they will be beheaded, and if it is serious, they will implicate the nine clans.The servants of the Xue family immediately raised their hands and slapped themselves in the face, "The little ones were fascinated, and there happened to be an assassin 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, His Majesty looked at the things on the table and rubbed his forehead.

Xue Yuan didn't play tricks on him, not once.

Each of these things is related to Gu Yuanbai, and the secrets he hides in them have nothing to do with Chu Wei at all.

But he is so bold, the desire to possess the emperor so clearly filled his mind, the second son Xue couldn't hear it, and the others couldn't hear it, but how could Gu Yuanbai, the person involved, not hear the undercurrent of the oath of sovereignty? means.

Xue Yuan followed Gu Yuanbai closely, he was not afraid of being seen in his thoughts at all, but on the contrary, being so frank and frightened by the world, everyone subconsciously abandoned that idea.

The fact that he was not tricked made Gu Yuanbai's anger drop a lot, and he became calmer.But again, such a letter, such something too transgressive, what did he think of the emperor after all?

To be his person, to be his property?

Said in front of him that he was his master, but secretly had a strong desire to control the master.

For a while, he felt introspection and guilt for letting Xue Yuan be misunderstood by him in vain because of his anger, and at the same time, he felt offended and faintly contested because of Xue Yuan's thoughts about him.

Does he see me as something in his pocket?

Why is he so courageous, and how big can he be?

Complicated emotions were mixed, and Gu Yuanbai couldn't tell what his final mood was.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt a dull pain in his throat from getting angry a few days ago.

Regardless of other things, let's just talk about the letter Xue Yuan wrote to Xue Lin.He asked Xue Lin to write down the people who had close contact with Gu Yuanbai, and then waited for him to come back, what would he do when he came back?

Are you really going to come and yell and kill?

Kissed, touched, twice.

And that soft heart.

Gu Yuanbai frowned, closed his eyes and pursed his lips.The color of the lips turned pale with force, and there were mixed flavors. For a moment, anger gained the upper hand, and for a while, the guilt of misunderstanding others because of anger gained the upper hand.

He was not saying a word, but the chief guard at the side said anxiously: "My lord, in fact, Master Xue also wrote a letter to my minister a month ago."

Gu Yuanbai was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at him.

The chief guard had a strange expression, and he seemed unable to guess what Xue Yuan meant: "Master Xue said that he had a certain disease, and he was flustered. He had to eat flower petals from time to time to stop his flustered. But where are the flowers in northern Xinjiang? So I asked my minister to send him some dried flower petals."

Gu Yuanbai wondered, "What are you talking about?"

Can't people from Xue's mansion deliver it?And why does it sound wrong everywhere?

The chief guard couldn't speak, 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 blessings of the holy majesty to protect him. Therefore, he begged the minister to let the majesty use it when he bathed. Take out the petals, dry them and send them to him.”

Gu Yuanbai: "..." Since when did he use flower petals?

The guilt in my heart was instantly wiped out, and the anger that followed became nondescript.

Dumbfounding.

Gu Yuanbai suddenly woke up.

Why bother?

Wrong is wrong, right is right.Gu Yuanbai made a mistake, he admits it, Xue Yuan dares to think about it, but Gu Yuanbai can't stop people from thinking, as long as he doesn't take actions that actually threaten others, Gu Yuanbai shouldn't have done it before these things happened. Use it to annoy yourself.

In contrast, Gu Yuanbai's thinking seems to have been restricted by the ancient environment.

He wants to integrate 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 told him that no one can control other people's thoughts.

He introspected for a while, temporarily suppressing other things, and only looked at his own mistakes.

Gu Yuanbai agreed to compensate Xue Yuan, but did he want flower petals?

Gu Yuanbai tilted his head, and said to Tian Fusheng: "Go and find all the precious flowers in the capital, and let them dry."

It is impossible for him to send the petals he soaked, but he can send all the flowers that should bloom in this season and should not bloom in this season.

Since the first snowflake in northern Xinjiang was returned, he should compensate him for all the famous flowers in the capital.
