Guo San endured three days in the prison of Jingzhao Fuyin, but he finally spit out.

He only said that his master Han Qi instructed him. How did he steal the voucher while his second brother was drinking with Shen Da, and how did he give it to his master Han Qi? How did you use that voucher to threaten Li Si?

Because the courtiers were involved, Yin Jiangli of Jingzhao Mansion could only take Han Qi to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and temporarily detain him.He also held a large box of confessions to answer the king in the side hall of the Xuanzheng Hall.It took half a day to explain this messy relationship to the king.

The king didn't listen to those messy and trivial details.

The only thing the king listens to is the parties involved.

One is Han Mochu, a close vassal of his son Gu Xiu, and the other is Han Qi, the eldest son of Han Ming's family.

The reason for the two parties to meet was the faction struggle.

Han Qi assassinated Han Mochu in order to cut off his son's only close minister, so that his son would lose his support.

A few days ago, he thought that for the sake of King Xie Gu Yan, he spared the life of the noble concubine, and also reserved Han Ming's place in the previous dynasty.It has only been quiet for more than a month now, and Han Ming dares to commit crimes against the wind.What's the difference between this and tearing off his father's face?

"Can you report this case to the King of War?" Gu Hong slightly flipped through the thick stack of statements in his hand: "How did he ask you to deal with it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhan Wang didn't say anything after learning about this, but just bought that Ping'an Village and cleared the old bad debts. Let those tenant farmers have a good time farming, and they don't have to take risks for their livelihood in the future. Then The five tenant farmers involved in the incident, Han Canjun said that they are very skilled, and when the case is closed, let them go to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to start as recruits." Jiang Li said: "As for how to deal with the rest of the people involved, His Royal Highness Zhanwang He and Han Canjun have never asked about it."

Gu Hong rubbed his tired eyes with both hands, and hummed if there was nothing there.

This kind of trivial matter done in the gutter, his son has never noticed it, let alone cared about it.

Ever since Gu Xiu got the Tiger Talisman, he couldn't sit still any more.Right now, he is busy with how to clean up several small countries including Goguryeo with him this year, and send additional troops to Xirong and its surrounding tribes.

If he didn't keep Gu Xiu to use some snacks in the inner palace every now and then, the child might be so busy that he wouldn't even have a mouthful of hot food, how could he care about the knife stabbing him in the back?

It's no wonder that Jiang Li would hold such a large box of confessions to please him.

"Since the King of War doesn't have any special instructions, you can follow the laws of the country. After the case is concluded, transfer the person directly to Dali Temple and tell the Minister of Dali Temple. You can deal with it as you want, and you don't need to ask for another order."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

As soon as Jiang Li left, the old eunuch Cui Shang came in dragging his whisk.

"Your Majesty, Master Han Ming knelt down outside the Xuanzheng Hall, saying that he wanted to make a statement on behalf of his eldest son."

"Chenqing? What else is there to complain about? You go and tell him that if he is still kneeling, this son will not be the only one imprisoned." Gu Hong stood up from behind the Longshu case: "By the way, In a few days, the empress will return to the palace, and you should also keep an eye on the ministers of the inner government to renovate Fengyi Palace earlier."

"Yes, the old slave will do it now."

The old eunuch Cui Shang dragged his whisk and walked in front of Han Ming who was kneeling on the ground: "Master Han Ming, His Majesty wants you to go back."

"Eunuch Cui, why didn't your Majesty see me? The dog is indeed wronged. He has never met Guo San Li Si at all!" Han Ming, who had been in a desperate situation, could only regard the old eunuch Cui Shang who he didn't think highly of usually as his own. Life-saving straw.

"Lord Han Ming, His Majesty doesn't know Guo San Li Si you mentioned. Your Majesty just doesn't want to hear your explanation. Your eldest son wants to break His Highness Zhan Wang's arm for no reason. Your Majesty, the father of the emperor, will give it to you anyway." His Highness is the one who speaks out. If His Highness does not argue, His Majesty will argue for His Highness." Cui Shang dragged the whisk in his hand to his arm, and said: "Your Majesty asked this old slave to tell you that if you still kneel here, your family will be locked up. The eldest son will not be the only one going in."

After saying that, the old eunuch stretched out his hand to help him up, raised his hand respectfully towards the palace gate, and said, "Lord Han Ming, please go back."

Han Ming took two steps forward in a trance, only to feel that his legs were weak, and the way out of the palace in front of him became distorted and crooked. After walking a few steps, he fell to the ground with his forehead broken and bleeding .

This was the first time he had faced Han Mo Chushi face-to-face in these years, and he lost so tragically.

Li Si, who is the key to the matter, is a well-known bad gambler, the living Yan Luo above the dealer.I can't even remember the money he owes. Who would be stupid enough to steal a real proof to hold him hostage for such a thing?People who can be bluffed with a punch, what else do they need to rely on?

The reason why he chose this Li Si is because this Li Si's interpersonal relationship is complicated enough, involving a wide range of areas, and it is difficult to trace.

He first sent people to find some debt collectors in the black market in central Beijing, and frightened Li Si without saying a few words. Kill Han Mochu.

If Han Mochu didn't act, those people would directly end Han Mochu.

If Han Mochu made a move, as long as one of them was injured and killed, at least he would be dismissed from his job at home.

Even if the encounter with the forbidden army is revealed, the clues will be broken when the trial of the case reaches Li Si.No matter how you investigate, it can only be an unsolved case. No matter how doubtful Han Mochu is, he can't come up with any real evidence.Besides, where is it so easy to bump into the guards who are watching the night?

I never thought that that night, I would actually run into the imperial army head-on, and forcefully pulled out a solid excuse.

It was only when Han Ming kowtowed his head that his blood was bleeding that he realized that Han Mochu had played this game.

In fact, it doesn't matter who Li Si recruited, his surname is Zhang, Li, Song, whatever his name is.As long as he has a name, it is enough for him to transfer his efforts to Han Ming.Even if it only involved an old slave who had seen the vegetable garden at his house ten years ago, the crime would be confirmed.It doesn't matter whether it's far-fetched or not, what Han Mochu wants is such an inexplicable and inescapable involvement.

No matter how his eldest son explained it now, no one would believe it even if he told the truth.

Because the late-night robbery and murder that night was a fact, it was also a fact that those people were instigated by others, and it was even more a fact that Guo San was Han Qi's servant.

Han Ming clutched his forehead, blood flowed down his eyelids, and everything in front of him was covered with a blood-red veil.

That day, Han Mochu talked to him here, mocking him triumphantly for not killing him.

He ridiculed him for not wanting his life.

He just wanted to try to see if he could kill him.

etc?There was a layer of cold sweat on Han Ming's back.

It turned out that Han Mochu had been leading him into the game since that day.He took great pains to find those people, and calculated the timing bit by bit, only preparing to step on him severely when the time came.

All of this was Han Mochu's plan from the very beginning.

Han Mochu angered him, but he didn't care when he did it, let alone whether he did it or not.

Because no matter whether he does it or not, he, Han Mochu, is the winner.Only he, a loser who wants to come back, will rack his brains.

Fortunately, he has been tossing in this hellish officialdom for so many years, and the scheming city is not as good as such a young man with no fame.

In the 23rd year of Yongxi, it was late spring.

Empress Meng, who had been away from the palace for 18 years, moved back to the palace from Jinghua Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

King Gu Hong originally wanted to make a big fuss, but in the end he followed Queen Meng's advice and kept everything simple.Instead of all the officials kneeling to greet her, only the two princes, Gu Xiu and Gu You, led a guard of honor to take her back to the imperial city.

The family banquet for returning to the palace is only held in the Nuan Pavilion on the east side of Chongning Palace.

Only Gu Xiu, Gu Jin, and Concubine Li Jin's family of three attended the banquet.

Ever since the news that Empress Meng was going back to the palace spread to the harem, the happiest person was Concubine Li.Because as long as Queen Meng came back, she would no longer have to worry about those palace affairs.And the portraits of the ladies she had worked so hard to collect from her mother's family, and finally someone could discuss with her.

The atmosphere at the family banquet was warm and harmonious.Queen Meng is a gentle person, and her children are also very decent.The most gratifying thing is that Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou is already three months pregnant, her lower abdomen is slightly protruding, and her face is full of red.

"Rou'er, come eat this, this is delicious, and this, this, this..." Since the banquet was opened, Gu You kept adding vegetables to Xu Jingrou's bowl, including fish, shrimp, delicacies from mountains and seas. They piled up in Xu Jingrou's bowl.Even Xu Jingrou couldn't eat so much with eight mouths.

"Your Highness, don't bother me. What are you doing here?" Xu Jingrou winked a few times but it didn't work, so she could only remind her in a low voice.

Gu You just stopped chopsticks, raised his head hesitantly, and saw that everyone on the table was looking at him, and immediately felt embarrassed: "Father, queen mother, concubine mother, my son and minister are rude."

"You still know how to be rude? Seeing that you are going to be a father, you are still so frizzy." Li Fei Jin made a gesture of reproach, but she couldn't hide the joyful expression on her face.

"Forget it, You'er is the first time to be a father, so he should be happy. Today is a family feast, so he can do whatever he wants." Gu Hong, the king on the throne, waved his hand and said.

"That's right, You'er is a new father, so don't blame Xiuqi." Queen Meng smiled softly, and called Concubine Li Jin by her maiden name.

This boudoir name has been called by no one for nearly 20 years, and even Concubine Li has almost forgotten it.

Today, being called by Empress Meng's family, my heart felt hot unconsciously, and my eyes almost turned red again.In order not to spoil everyone's interest, Concubine Li quickly sniffed, and turned the words to Gu Xiu: "Xiu'er, you see that your brother is going to be a father now, and you are still alone, Madam Li Don't worry about it."

"Miss Li, don't worry, everything is fine with my son."

"Your Majesty knows that everything is fine with you, it's just that you don't want to get married just because you look at your brother and sister-in-law?" Concubine Li glanced at Empress Meng, hoping that Empress Meng could help her say a word.

"I don't want to get married, I just want to fight the world for my father." Gu Xiu put down the chopsticks and replied solemnly.

This sentence reached Gu Hong's heart again.

He is the king of the country.The child Gu Xiu polished himself into a sharp knife in his hand, wherever his finger pointed, Gu Xiu would strike there.

The military power was in the hands of his own son, and he even slept more peacefully than before.

"Seventh brother, there seems to be no conflict between fighting the world and getting married. Could it be that if you get married, you can't lead the army?" Gu You asked back with a frown.

"It's different. I don't take care of people like Brother Six. No matter who I marry in the future, I will be wronged."

"Xiu'er doesn't want to get married, so let's not get married." Gu Hong held a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, and said solemnly: "A man has ambitions all over the world. It's good to get married, and it's good not to get married."

"My son thinks what the father said is very true. Since the seventh brother thinks it's better not to get married, then it's better not to get married. After a few years, he thinks it's better to get married again. It's not too late to get married at that time." Gu Jin smiled and put a steamed dumpling in Gu Xiu's bowl: "Mistress Li, don't worry, Erchen, the elder sister, will take good care of my younger brother."

After the family banquet, Gu Xiu rarely used the car sent by the palace to drive back home.

Han Mochu in the mansion was still awake, and the lights were still on in the study.

Under the lights, Han Mochu was still playing with the chessboard.

The whole chess game is stuck on the most critical move.Han Mochu was twiddling the chess piece in his hand, and when he heard Gu Xiu's door opening, he raised his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness is back?"

"Well, I'm back." Gu Xiu said, taking off his robe and putting it on a shelf beside him: "But I didn't bring any food back."

"Your Highness thinks that I'm waiting for Your Highness just to beg for food?" Han Mochu lightly threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, "It's a pity that I left a lamp for Your Highness at such a late hour."

"I heard that Han Ming broke his head in front of the Xuanzheng Hall, and he seems to be dying soon." Gu Xiu said coldly.

"Yeah, so there are some things that need to be done quickly." Han Mochu walked around from behind the desk to the people with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "In the end, things must be done while he is alive."
