Exactly how to use the Xiao family to crush Mu Yan's conspiracy still needs a long-term plan.Although Gu Xian had an idea, it was quite difficult to implement it.Mu Yan is a very smart person, to deal with him he must be hit, otherwise it will be difficult to find opportunities.Therefore, even though the situation was critical, Gu Xian did not act immediately.But just before Prince Rui's Mansion made a move, a major event happened in the court of Dachu——Fu Zekai was assassinated. Although he didn't die, he lost half his life.

Ever since Bai Junhao seized Fu Zekai's real power and made Fu Zekai the chief situ, Fu Zekai excused his illness at home and refused to go to court.Some people said that Fu Zekai was resenting the emperor and the emperor's anger, while others said that Fu Zekai was just trying to retreat bravely.Fu Zekai didn't pay attention to what outsiders said, his eyes never really moved away from the Great Chu Dynasty Hall for a moment, and the actions of the family in the south of the Yangtze River naturally did not escape his eyes.

After the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the establishment of the Great Chu, Fu Zekai's political sensitivity is far beyond ordinary people.Coupled with the fact that after working with Mu Yan for many years and now knowing Mu Yan's true identity from Bai Yi, Fu Zekai immediately concluded that the Jiangnan incident was inseparable from the Li family, but he didn't know that Linghu Chun might also be involved.

If the Li family hadn't been involved, Fu Zekai would still be willing to see the aristocratic family suffer bad luck, who made him come from a poor family and was born to be against the powerful.But thinking that the family members might have already made a secret agreement with the Li family, Fu Zekai didn't sleep well for several nights, his face was sullen all day long, and even Xinna's concubine couldn't make him laugh.

On this day, Ding Guogong, who had been bored for a few days, took a long entourage to the street to relax. Not long after he walked out of the prime minister's mansion, a masked man with a sword cut a hole in his chest.At that scene, the people passing by were all shocked. If it wasn't for Fu Zekai's long-time follower who was skilled, and the downtown area was not conducive to assassins fighting, Fu Zekai's head might have been chopped off.

When the people from Chengtian Mansion arrived, Fu Zekai had already been taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for treatment, and the assassin had also fled without a trace, leaving no clues behind.

The court of Great Chu was shocked, and people in Jinguan City were even more panicked.Bai Junhao sent an imperial doctor to see Fu Zekai, but he was also in shock.

Fu Zekai's assassination was a no-brainer case, and he had no idea who the murderer would be.First of all, Fu Zekai is the founding father of the country, not to mention his high position and weight, he is also a student with acquaintances all over the world.Although there are one or two political enemies, Fu Zekai is very good at being a man. Although the political enemies are at odds with him, they don't hate him to the point of killing him.Even when Prince Rui's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were at their worst, Gu Xian and Bo Junhe never thought of killing Fu Zekai, let alone the others.

Furthermore, Fu Zekai came from a humble background but was an extremely respected official. Although he was in the way of the eyes of the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family would not do such a thing as killing people in the street in broad daylight.If Fu Zekai had been poisoned at home, Bai Junhao might still be suspicious of the family, and in this way, the family members would also be ruled out.

Among the three, Fu Zekai is no longer Zhongshuling, just a half-old man who eats the royal food at home with the vacant position of Da Situ and the title of Duke Dingguo.Even if his son Fu Donglou became Prince Ruixiang, the power of Prince Rui's Mansion had nothing to do with him. Everyone knew that Fu Donglou and Fu Zekai were not close.

It can be said that the current Fu Zekai is unlikely to get in anyone's way, why would anyone want his life?

Bai Junhao was like the dignitaries in Jinguan City, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.In the city of Chengdu, the assassination of the Duke can happen in broad daylight, but it is not certain whether there will be another accident. If it is not guaranteed, he will be killed in his palace someday.

Too many things have happened in this nearly one year, and the entire court situation in Dachu has changed beyond recognition.After Bo Jun and Fu Zekai retired, it seemed that Bai Junhao now held the power of the government in his own hands, but nothing that happened was out of his control.For a while, Bai Junhao felt that he was like a cat and dog raised by a concubine in the harem. He seemed to be living a life without worrying about food and clothing, but he didn't know if he would be beaten to death if he touched his master's clothes. Just who is his person.

When the emperor reaches this position, the word "pathetic" is not enough to describe himself... Bai Junhao smiled miserably, and suddenly thought that his brother Bo Jun had reconciled...

As soon as Gu Xian heard about Fu Zekai's assassination, he thought it was fake.

Just because Fu Zekai was born in a poor family and was always looked down upon by the rich and powerful, so after Fu Zekai became a nobleman and became a high-ranking official, he paid special attention to ostentation. There are very few times when you are alone, why do you suddenly think of going out for a walk alone?

And that long follower.That long follower was by Fu Zekai's side all the year round. It's true that he knew a little bit of kung fu, but that man's kung fu was not that good, that is, the level of a big man in the nursing home. It all depended on his burly body and strength. .The assassin was able to attack in the street and escape without a trace, which shows that his kung fu is still good, at least solving the long-term follower is not a problem.If the assassin really wanted to pay Zekai's life, the long follower who dared to come out to get in the way would definitely be killed together. How could he run away after being blocked by the long follower?

The location of the accident is also intriguing.Gu Xian is not someone who stays in the palace all the year round, and the area where the Xiangfu is located is the bustling area in Jinguan City. Gu Xian has visited the markets around the Xiangfu and is quite familiar with it.As far as he knew, the place where Fu Zekai's accident happened was only half a quarter of an hour's walk from the garrison area of ​​the Prime Minister's Mansion.If the assassin wanted to kill Fu Zekai, he could choose a place far away from the prime minister's mansion. In that case, Fu Zekai would have no chance of being sent back to the mansion for rescue, and he would die.

Because of all the above, Gu Xian thought that Fu Zekai's assassination was a drama, but he didn't know who he wanted to show this drama to.

"At first I didn't believe that you were really assassinated, but seeing you now, I have no choice but to believe it."

The servants of the Prime Minister moved a red sandalwood chair in front of Fu Zekai's bed, Gu Xian sat down, and only after the servants had retreated did Gu Xian speak slowly.

Fu Zekai was leaning on the pillow with a pale complexion, although his eyes were clear but his strength was weak, and he could tell at a glance that he was really seriously injured.After a while, Fu Zekai opened his mouth and said: "If you can convince His Highness that it is true, my sword will not be in vain."

"A sword in the chest, although it is not piercing, but someone else would be killed. It is really a fluke that Duke Ding can still talk to Gu. Why not take good care of him and see Gu?" Gu Xian stretched out his hand to check Fu Zekai's pulse, raised his eyebrows, but said something irrelevant, "I don't think you want to ask Gu to take good care of Lou'er for you."

Unexpectedly, Gu Xian would mention Fu Donglou, Fu Zekai was a little embarrassed: "I can't see through this kid Donglou. But even if I really want to die now, I won't speak to His Highness for him, because Your Highness More like his biological father than me."

"If you're not guilty, it's useless to talk too much." Gu Xian smiled, "Let's be serious, who wants to kill you?"

"No one wanted to kill me, I killed myself." Fu Zekai smiled, "When the great Chu was about to be established, I gave the late emperor two suggestions on how to deal with the Li Tang royal family—— Either drive out the Li Tang royal family to avoid future troubles, or treat them preferentially to show my great mind. In the end, the first emperor accepted these two opinions. To kill, but to let them fend for themselves is to secretly deny them the chance to become an official.”

"What the late emperor did is understandable, but my proposal to kill all the Li family has been known to the world and has been criticized for a long time. The Li and Tang royal family has disappeared since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, as if they disappeared out of thin air. Neither the late emperor nor I have planned Use it. But imagine if they are still there, how can they not hate me as an 'enemy'?"

"So, you were assassinated because you wanted to insinuate that the Li family, who had been dormant for a long time, wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in Dachu and Beiyan to restore the country, and that everyone who had a problem with the Li family would be revenged?" Gu Xian He lowered his eyes and pondered, then sighed, "You are really willing to go out."

"I found that assassin. I told him that I am a left-hearted person. A sword in this position would kill an ordinary person, but I was only seriously injured..." Fu Zekai paused and rested for a while. Then he murmured, "I am also a person who cherishes my life..."

Gu Xian was solemn.Although he didn't get along with Fu Zekai, he still had to praise Fu Zekai in this situation, "National scholars are unparalleled".To be able to do so much for Great Chu is really worthy of the kindness of the late emperor.

"Are you doing this for Jiangnan's affairs? Then there is no need to do such a fake show. You are a martial arts practitioner. You know that swords have no eyes. You feel that your sword has no eyes. You think that your sword has no eyes, but you don't know that swords have no eyes. If you make a slight deviation, you will be finished. You are willing to fight with your life, but to deceive Mu Yan?"

"I don't believe that Your Highness doesn't know the seriousness of Jiangnan's matter." Fu Zekai's hand suddenly gripped the quilt under him, "Your Highness...cough cough...the family sells cotton charcoal at a low price, and the person behind it must be Mu Yan. Jianning Wang Litan was known for being intelligent when he was 'alive', and Mu Yan was even more 'fortunate and conspiratorial', so it can't be said that the aristocratic family is already...cough cough..."

He took out a handkerchief from his cuff and handed it to Fu Zekai, Gu Xian took his words and said: "You don't have to get excited, the wound is very bad for you, I don't know what you want to say."

"There was the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang emperor used the family, he was also suppressing the family. Therefore, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The family did not want to save the country, but digging into the corners of the Tang Dynasty. It has a lot to do with the aristocratic families who contributed to the troubled times, but they didn't expect that half of the country would be cheaper for the Hu people, and they didn't expect the sudden rise of the Sui Dynasty emperors. .”

Gu Xian stood up and took a few steps in the room: "You just said to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and the Li family will hold grudges for many years and wait to kill you. Then the family will take advantage of the chaos to rob Li Tang Jiangshan and be retaliated by the Li family. You want to make the clansmen feel sad when the rabbit dies, don't you?"

"Exactly..." Fu Zekai leaned against the pillow and let out a long breath. He was already feeling tired after talking for so long.

"That assassin is the real Li family?"

"He is... the grandson of Li Ying, the abandoned prince of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty... a refugee I met in the past..."

Fu Zekai's face was very ugly, but he still smiled and said mockingly: "The Li family hates the Li Tang royal family... If it wasn't..."

"If Li Longji hadn't listened to Concubine Wu Hui's slander and killed Li Ying, and Li Tang hadn't perished, the grandson you picked up might be Li Tang's crown prince or even the emperor now, right?" Gu Xian also laughed, "Ming Ming There is God's will in it, if you hadn't met this emperor's grandson back then, you wouldn't know how to sing this play today. He is at large now because you have hidden him."

"It's a pleasure to talk to His Highness...don't waste your time..."

"It seems that the past conversations between Gu and the Duke were not pleasant."

"Your Highness is joking..." Fu Zekai said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the identity of the murderer has not been revealed yet, and the people of the family will not think of the Li family even though they are worried that Chengdu is not safe... Mu Yan really hurts seeing me. Redefining is confusing, let alone guarding against, as long as the murderer makes another move against the people of the family, and a few words of gossip, the possible alliance between them will... be wiped out..."

"Even if the family has nothing to do with Li Tang right now, after this incident, they will definitely not have any thoughts of colluding with the Li family in the future. Beiyan has a deep-rooted hatred with the family. If the Li family can't support them, the family can only be forced to fight with the big family." Chu Yilu. After all, they don’t have the ability to stand on their own right now.”

As soon as Gu Xian finished speaking, he suddenly bowed to Fu Zekai: "This time, I must thank Duke Ding. I have discussed with the Queen Mother about the matter of dealing with the Li family. Everything is ready, but the perpetrator must be the relatives of the Li family. The real one Li Tang's royal family is so hard to find, and now that Ding Guogong has laid the groundwork, what he does in the future will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Surprised by Gu Xian, Fu Zekai almost sat up from the bed, and said after a long while: "Your Highness...Actually, what I want is to live a peaceful life...People who have experienced troubled times are afraid of that... ...the days of panic...I don't want to go back..."

There was silence in the room, and for a long time, Gu Xian said something that seemed completely irrelevant: "Compared to Hao'er, He'er is more suitable, and you know it very well in your heart." escape……

Fu Zekai was startled: "Your Highness has vicious eyes..."

"You take good care of it, and leave the rest to Gu."

"I wish your Highness all the best, and my Great Chu Kingdom will be prosperous."

The author has something to say: Actually... Fu Zekai is a very complicated person, he is hard to be liked, but he is not that annoying ╮(╯▽╰)╭
