The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Two days after the emperor disappeared, the Habayashi Army finally found two corpses thirty miles downstream of the river where Shen Ying jumped.

The corpse floated up after two days of soaking in the water. It had already begun to rot, and its appearance was also deformed by the water. However, the clothes on the corpse were those worn by the emperor and Gu Min on the day they disappeared. The Habayashi Army judged from this , the identities of the two corpses are the emperor and Gu Shaojun.

After Lin Che heard that his subordinates had found the corpses of the emperor and Gu Min, he immediately secretly transported the two corpses back to the palace.

With the help of Princess Changping, Empress Dowager Liu took Guo Jiuchen and other confidants to the place where the corpses were placed. Looking at the two corpses covered with white cloths, she still couldn't believe that the emperor died so easily.

The room exuded a disgusting stench of corpses. Empress Dowager Liu covered her nose with a veil in disgust, stared suspiciously at the two corpses and asked Lin Che, "You said they were the corpses of the emperor and Gu Shaojun?"

Lin Che said with a serious face: "Back to the queen mother, the corpses have been swollen with water, and they are beyond recognition. We can only judge from the clothes on them, and they should be the emperor and Gu Shaojun."

"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Liu opened her phoenix eyes slightly and scolded angrily, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with God's blessing, how could he die so easily in the hands of a group of young people! Did you find two corpses at random? Are you fooling Aijia?"

Lin Che hurriedly knelt down and said, "The Queen Mother is aware that I will never dare to do such a rebellious thing!"

Empress Dowager Liu ordered: "Take off the white cloth! The Ai family must personally confirm whether it is the emperor or not!"

Lin Che hesitated and said, "Queen Mother, the appearance of the corpse is a bit... I'm afraid it will startle the Queen Mother."

At this time, Princess Changping next to her whispered, "Queen Mother, now that the whereabouts of the emperor's brother are unknown, Daying still relies on you to preside over the overall situation. You have a golden body, and it would be bad if you were hit by something unclean. Why don't you ask Changping to confirm for you, is this the emperor's brother's body?"

Empress Dowager Liu thought about it, so she nodded and agreed.

Princess Changping covered her face with a veil, endured the nausea brought by the smell of the corpse while suppressing fear, and walked towards the corpse. Lin Che followed behind her, and went to lift the white cloth from the corpse. Princess Changping frowned. Frowning, he carefully identified the clothes worn by the corpse.

When her gaze shifted to the corpse's swollen face, she couldn't bear it any longer, quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, turned around and ran outside to the eaves of the corridor, leaning on a pillar, bent over and vomited. It was a mess.

Empress Dowager Liu came out, patted Princess Changping on the back and asked with concern, "How is it? Did you see clearly? Whose corpse is that?"

Princess Changping stopped vomiting, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, turned around with red eyes, choked up and said: "The face of the corpse has been soaked in water so that you can't see the specific appearance, but it is hung around the waist. A sachet was embroidered by myself, I will never admit it wrong, so... it should be Brother Huang."

After she finished speaking, she bowed her head and began to sob. After hearing what she said, Empress Dowager Liu didn't want to see what the corpse looked like anymore.

At this time, Guo Jiuchen whispered to Empress Dowager Liu: "Empress Dowager, no matter whether this corpse belongs to the emperor or not, the emperor must be in danger. The most urgent thing is to hide the news of the emperor's funeral, and the establishment of a new king can stabilize the overall situation! "

Empress Dowager Liu turned around, thought carefully, narrowed her phoenix eyes, a cold light flashed past, and said solemnly: "Yes, regardless of whether the emperor is dead or alive, the Ai family must prepare for the worst. Who appointed those assassins, have you found out?"

Guo Jiuchen said with shame on his face, "Forgive me, Queen Mother, those are well-trained dead soldiers. The Jinyiwei sent by the old slave have not yet found out the clues, and are doing their best to track them down."

Empress Dowager Liu thought for a moment, then asked, "What about the capital? Is there any change?"

Guo Jiuchen said: "For the time being, everything is stable, Queen Mother, do you want to return to Beijing?"

Empress Dowager Liu said coldly: "Even if you want to go back to Beijing, Ai's family can't take the emperor's coffin back. Before returning to Beijing, you must catch the murderer who assassinated the emperor, otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that no one will say it was Ai's murder. After becoming the emperor and attacking the Ai family, do you think that those elders in the Shen family are all vegetarians?"

Guo Jiuchen nodded and said, "The Empress Dowager is very worried."

"The emperor's death won't be hidden for long," Empress Dowager Liu rolled her eyes, and ordered in a deep voice, "Quickly summon all the important officials in the capital who are loyal to Ai's family to the palace, and then go to the vassal lands of Xinwang and Huai They came to the palace to discuss important matters!" After he paused, he seemed to think of something again, and said coldly, "By the way, bring Feng Taifei, Queen Qi, mother and son to Ai's family!"

After the emperor's body was found, the entrances and exits of the palace were strictly guarded by the guards brought by Guo Jiuchen. Unless there was an order from the queen mother, everyone was only allowed to enter and not to exit.

All the courtiers who served the emperor before Chengxinzhai were put under house arrest on the day the emperor died, and they were only allowed to stay in one courtyard and were not allowed to move around at will.

That night, in the dead of night, Wan Zhongquan saw that the other eunuchs in the room were already fast asleep, so he quietly got out of bed, opened the door and went out.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Wan Zhongquan clung to the corner of the wall and came under a big tree in the northwest corner of the yard. He hid behind the big tree and found a cage under the flower bed. The note was stuffed into a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, and the pigeon was lifted high and thrown into the air.

The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and tried to fly high. Wan Zhongquan watched the carrier pigeon fly higher and higher, farther and farther, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face. A sharp arrow shot out from the direction, pierced the night sky like a bolt of lightning, and hit the carrier pigeon with incomparable accuracy!

The carrier pigeon didn't even have time to flap its wings, and fell straight down from mid-air. Seeing this scene, Wan Zhongquan's heart almost burst out of his throat.

Suddenly he heard footsteps behind him again, Wan Zhong poked his head out from behind the big tree and looked out anxiously, and saw a large number of Yulin soldiers entering the yard with fire in their hands. Lin Che, the leader, held a bow and arrow in his hand, sharp His eyes fixed on Wan Zhongquan's hiding place, and he said with a smirk: "Eunuch Wan, you don't sleep at night, why are you still interested in feeding the pigeons?"

Wan Zhongquan's head was blank, knowing that he had been exposed, his legs and feet went limp, and he couldn't help but slumped on the ground, his mouth was open, but he couldn't make a sound.

Yu Linjun picked up the pigeon that Lin Che shot and showed it to Lin Che. Lin Che took the pigeon, pulled out the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and poured out the note inside.

Lin Che unfolded the note, glanced at him, looked up at Wan Zhongquan coldly, waved his hand and signaled to go down and tie Wan Zhongquan over, "Eunuch Wan, if you have anything to say, I'd better trouble you to come to the Queen Mother by yourself." Go ahead and talk."

"Come, come, here is my family's Zhuangzi. When you come to Brother Wei, you treat this place as your own home. Tell the servants what you need. Don't be polite, you know!" Cui Yingjie got off the horse and put Handing over the reins to the boy, he turned around and greeted Shen Ying and Gu Min with a smile.

Shen Ying also got down from the horse, and said with a smile: "As long as Brother Cui doesn't think we two brothers come to disturb us, then we should be respectful rather than obedient."

Cui Yingjie warmly came over and took Shen Ying and Gu Min's arms, and led them into the Zhuangzi, "Why do you think it's bothering you, brother Jingming, you helped me marry a beautiful girl, it's too late to thank you for my brother Besides, you are Fangrui's brother-in-law now, then we will be a family soon! Follow me in, we brothers must get drunk tonight!"

Shen Ying followed Cui Yingjie into his family's Zhuangzi, looked around, and slandered in a funny way, this Cui Yingjie is really a liar, and he is not afraid of bringing two strangers home who don't even know the details, if this idiot Knowing the identities of the two people I brought into the house now, I am afraid that my eyes will pop out.

green.There was a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the building, Shen Ying and Gu Min were strangers from other places, and they had been staying in Qing.The building will inevitably attract the attention of others, so after all, it is not a hiding place that can stay for a long time.

So Shen Ying colluded with Fangrui to accompany him in the show, pretending in front of Cui Yingjie that he and Fangrui had married Jinlan, and asked Fangrui to coax Cui Yingjie to promise him to take care of his two righteous brothers in the future.

Hearing Shen Ying's claim that she hadn't found a place to stay, Cui Yingjie readily let the two of them live in his own villa first, and when Na Fangrui came in two days later, they happened to have a wedding wine together.

Cui Yingjie actually knew in his heart that it was impossible for the two brothers of the Xu family to spend hundreds of taels of silver to redeem a prostitute for no reason.He guessed that the brothers from the Xu family were foreigners who came to the capital to make a living, and they just wanted to please him to make a relationship with him and make money from him by helping him redeem Fangrui.

Cui Yingjie is just an ignorant dude. In the capital where the rich and powerful are like clouds, his family background is not considered prominent, and he can't hang out with the children of the aristocratic family. Except in his own home, those people outside don't care about him at all. He is the son of a sixth-rank official family, let alone please him and ask him to do something.

So even if he knew that the brothers of the Xu family had other plans to please him, he still enjoyed the feeling of being supported.

Cui Yingjie ordered his servants to prepare good food and wine, and took Shen Ying and Gu Min to the front hall to drink and have fun.

Cui Yingjie raised his wine glass, clinked glasses with Shen Ying and Gu Min respectively, and said, "You two virtuous brothers, there is nothing good to entertain you in the countryside, so don't dislike it. It's all my old man's fault for not letting me go back to the capital now. Otherwise, I will definitely take you to the best restaurant in the capital to have a good meal!"

Shen Ying said with a smile: "Brother Cui, you are being polite. We will be in the capital together in the future, are you afraid that we will not have the opportunity to drink together?"

Cui Yingjie nodded again and again and said yes, after two glasses of wine, the addiction to bragging came up again, "When I return to the capital, I will be able to enter Jinyiwei, and my father said that the official position is at least a hundred households, and when I become a hundred Huhu, it is not difficult to get you two brothers into Jinyiwei to find an errand! You just wait to eat delicious food and drink spicy food with me!"

Shen Ying glanced at Gu Min with a half-smile, "Then we'll just wait for brother Cui to take care of us, we brothers never even dreamed that we would be able to enter Jinyiwei one day."

Cui Yingjie laughed out loud and slapped his chest.Preserved: "Wrap it on me!"

Shen Ying took a sip of her wine and said casually: "It's just that I still don't quite understand what can happen in this capital, at the feet of the emperor? Why can't you enter the capital now?"

Cui Yingjie waved his hand, "Hey, don't mind it! Brother Wei reminds you, there is one most important thing you must understand to make a living in the capital, that is, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't worry about what you shouldn't. I don't care what happens to it, as long as it doesn't affect my promotion and fortune."

Shen Ying smiled, "What Brother Cui said is that I also heard Brother Cui say that you are so serious, so I was curious. But Brother Cui, why are there no other people in your family in this village? Lingsister-in-law's wife Did you go out of the city to avoid disaster? Why don’t you come out and let us pay a visit to show respect.”

Cui Yingjie ate his chopsticks and appetizers, smacked his lips and said, "They didn't come out in the city. My father was afraid that everyone in the family would leave and attract others' attention, so he only asked me to come out alone. Who told me to be our family?" Three generations of single pass, in fact, there will be no major problems, but if you are not afraid of [-], you are afraid of the eventuality."

Shen Ying looked at the triumphant Cui Yingjie, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Oh, that's how it is."

Next, under the repeated persuasion of Shen Ying and Gu Min, Cui Yingjie soon got too drunk and lay down on the table, unconscious. Shen Ying called the servant to come in, helped Cui Yingjie back to the room to rest, and then Gu Min also went back to the room Cui Yingjie arranged for them.

After going back to the room and washing up briefly, I just turned off the lights and got ready to go.Bed, Shen Ying heard a few cuckoo calls from outside the room, and couldn't help but stop. This was the secret signal he had agreed with Lin Fan. If Lin Fan had something important to report to him, he would use the cuckoo call. For news.

Gu Min had already sat on the bed, and seeing Shen Ying suddenly stopped in front of the bed, he asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ying stood in the darkness, silently watching Gu Min's figure. He deliberately didn't let Lin Fan show up these two days, he wanted to test Gu Min on the road, but after two days passed, there must have been someone in the palace. If he wanted to act, he had to act, so Lin Fan could no longer hide it, and of course there was no need to hide it from Gu Min.

In fact, after these two days of getting along day and night, Shen Ying can feel that Gu Min is not a bad person, he also has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and believes that he should not really take refuge in Guo Jiuchen, otherwise, he, the emperor, is alone and helpless, Gu Min can definitely arrest him and ask Guo Jiuchen for credit.

Instead of being like this now, staying by his side unwaveringly.

Therefore, Shen Ying judged that Gu Min could be trusted, at least temporarily.

After Shen Ying thought it over, she made a decision, raised her hand and beckoned to Gu Min, "Come out with me."

Gu Min didn't understand why she got up and followed Shen Ying out of the room.

The courtyard was dark and empty, and when the two stood in the middle of the courtyard, Gu Min suddenly noticed a black shadow coming in from the courtyard wall on his left. He was startled, and without thinking, he immediately blocked it. In front of Shen Ying, protecting him behind his back, he shouted: "Who!"

But Shen Ying grabbed Gu Min's arm, and walked out from behind him calmly, "Be safe, he's here to find me."

That black shadow was of course Lin Fan who sent a signal to Shen Ying. When he saw Shen Ying, he knelt down and saluted, and said respectfully, "My humble servant sees the emperor!"

Shen Ying put one hand behind her back, and raised the other, "Waiting, Lin Fan, why are you looking for me late at night?"

Lin Fan got up, looked up at Gu Min behind Shen Ying, and seemed to be hesitating whether to report in front of Gu Min.

Shen Ying glanced sideways at Gu Min, because it was too dark outside to see the expression on the man's face, so she didn't know whether he would be surprised or angry when he saw Lin Fan.

Shen Ying collected her thoughts and turned her head, "It's okay, my own, you just say it's okay."

Lin Fan said: "My Majesty, the two corpses we arranged in advance have been found by the Habayashi Army and brought back to the palace. In addition, if there is no accident, the Queen Mother should also know that the assassination of the Emperor is related to Du Qianren."

Shen Ying sneered: "Very well, next, the dog-eat-dog show is about to begin, and we naturally can't be left behind." He paused at this point, turned his head left and right to look at the yard, and asked coldly, "Where are the others?"

Lin Fan said: "My minister asked them to lie in ambush outside the Zhuangzi temporarily, and the surrounding environment has been carefully checked. The only nearby Zhuangzi is the Cui family."

Shen Ying said slowly: "Then, while the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, wake up the eldest young master of the Cui family who is still dreaming of getting promoted and making a fortune in bed, and let him write a letter to his family and send it to his home in the capital. It is said that he suffered a sudden illness and missed his relatives very much outside, Cui Yingjie was passed down for three generations, presumably the elders in his family must regard him as their favorite, so they can tell a few when they see it."

Lin Fan said: "My minister obeys the order!"

Shen Ying thought for a while, and then asked: "In addition, do you know which ministers the Empress Dowager called to the palace to discuss matters?"

Lin Fan said: "My minister is also planning to report this matter to the emperor. General Lin Che told Fei Ge that in addition to his confidantes in Beijing, there are also King Xin and King Huai."

"Xin Wang, Huai Wang?" Shen Ying's expression turned serious, she did not expect that Empress Dowager Liu would secretly collude with Xin Wang and Huai Wang, "Decide my order, order Gu Anbo to immediately lead people to secretly intercept and kill Xin Wang, Huai Wang, etc. Prince Huai’s messenger must not allow Prince Xin and Prince Huai to enter the capital at this time! Send someone to inform you, General Lin!”

"Abiding by the order! That humble official will leave first!" Lin Fan turned around and climbed over the wall out of the yard after finishing speaking, to carry out Shen Ying's order.

As soon as Lin Fan left, the pitch-black courtyard became quiet again. Shen Ying stood there for a long time without turning around to face Gu Min who was behind her, holding her breath and quietly paying attention to the movement behind her.

"I have been by the emperor's side for so many days, but I don't even know that the emperor is so scheming and scheming like a god." In the end, Gu Min spoke first, with a little self-deprecation in his tone, "The emperor hides everything, hides it. The Queen Mother, Guo Daban, everyone, but for some reason, why did the Emperor suddenly stop acting in front of his ministers?"

Shen Ying turned around slowly, looking for the outline of Gu Min's eyes in the night, "You should understand that I had to hide it from you before, but now I don't hide it from you, because I believe in you."

Gu Min laughed softly, "So the emperor admitted that you never believed me before?"

Shen Ying and Gu Min met their gazes, and said in a low voice: "People's hearts are unpredictable, I can't take the risk of trusting anyone, if you were to sit in my seat, you would do the same, can you understand?"

Gu Min took a step forward, "I understand that the emperor is suspicious, but what I don't understand is, since you don't believe me, why do you favor me, put me on the cusp of the storm, and become the target of public criticism?"

Shen Ying sighed in his heart, and he knew that once he and Gu Min returned to their status as monarchs and ministers, there would be an insurmountable gap between them, and they would never be able to get along like they did when they were ordinary people in the past two days. Laugh freely.

Shen Ying straightened her back, raised her chin, looked directly into Gu Min's increasingly clear eyes, and asked, "What about you? Have you been loyal to me from the beginning to the end? Don't tell me you have nothing to do to me?"

Gu Min had already walked in front of Shen Ying, and asked in a tense voice: "Let's not talk about the loyalty of the subjects, let alone the trust of the king, I just want to ask you, are those sweet words and vows you made to me in the past all fake? Flirtation?"

Shen Ying clasped her hands behind her back, clenched her fists and then released them. At the same time, she also clenched her teeth and asked calmly, "Why are you sincere to me? Everyone is acting on the spot. It is necessary to ask this kind of question." ?”

Gu Min was stunned for a while, then he was silent for a while, and suddenly from the man's throat, he could not restrain his low laughter, his voice became hoarse, "Your Majesty is right, there is no need to ask such a stupid question, and only Only the most stupid people would ask."

The man's laughter was too ear-piercing, like needles piercing through the ears, and then landed on the heart, causing pain in the heart, Shen Ying lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip, and said: "If you don't mind this, I can apologize to you, I really shouldn't have cheated your feelings."

Gu Min looked deeply at Shen Ying, and snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "What do I need is an apology?"

"Then what do you want?" Shen Ying turned her mind, exhaled, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Min seriously, "Yes, being my young master has caused you to suffer a lot of criticism, and even made you ridiculed , let you lose your dignity as a man, how about this, if I can return to the palace smoothly this time, I will issue an order to announce that you are no longer my young monarch, and let you regain your freedom?"

Gu Min seemed a little unable to believe what he heard, his mind went blank for a moment, "What did you say?"

The corners of Shen Ying's mouth hooked up, her voice was a bit astringent, and she said slowly: "You will no longer be my young master, you don't have to flatter me in front of me, you are free, are you satisfied with this?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, I can't be more satisfied." Gu Min's eyes hidden in the darkness stared at Shen Ying's face without blinking. There was a dim light floating inside, as if sparks could burst out, and his figure suddenly moved. He nodded, took a step back, bowed deeply to Shen Ying, and said loudly, "Thank you, Lord Long En!"

After all, he didn't wait for Shen Ying's reaction, retracted his hands and straightened his waist, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and strode out of the yard.

Seeing that Gu Min was about to leave, Shen Ying panicked inexplicably, took a step forward unknowingly, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

Gu Min stopped, did not look back, and said calmly, "Since the emperor has so many guards around him to protect him, why should I stand in the way here, I wish the emperor will get his wish as soon as possible."

The author has something to say: Gu Shaojun: Just leave!
