Chapter 569: To be able to endure

7days ago Historical fiction 7
Qiu Fu, who is over 65 years old, has gained weight recently.

He was taken care of at the Duke's Mansion and was not allowed to go out for a while. His family was arranged by the Jinyiwei to protect him. His daily activities were limited, his appetite was good, and his face was rounder.

His son Qiu Song is also an idle person in the house.

Only his grandson Qiu Lu is still an official in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and he has no real power. Moreover, Qiu Lu's guards and entourage are all arranged by the court.

However, Qiu Fu knew a lot about Qiu Lu's ability to enter and exit the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Qiu Lu's treatment is good.It was precisely because when Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne that Qiu Lu was afraid of trouble and advised his grandfather not to disobey the court.

On that night, my grandson Qiu Lu went home and came to Qiu Fu's room as usual and asked his grandfather for his good health.

Qiu Lu's expression was very relaxed and happy. When he stepped forward to worship tea, he said in a deep voice: The King of Han is about to enter the capital!Sure enough, my grandfather saw far away, and my grandson admired him very much.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Fu had no smug or excited expression. Instead, he looked a little suspicious and reminded: Lu'er is in the official office, don't mention the King of Han.It’s best not to stand up, just do the errands you should do, pretend that you didn’t see anything you shouldn’t do, let alone talk too much!

The grandson looked thoughtful.

Qiu Fu said coldly: The Jingnan Army had already arrived outside the capital, how did Xu Zengshou end up?Our family did nothing. At this critical moment, don’t touch the bad head that is useless to birds.

The grandson suddenly clasped his fists and said: The grandson followed the instructions of his grandfather.

Actually, I really didn't expect that the King of Han could do this... Qiu Fu said with a complicated expression, I was just being unfair for him, and I was even more dissatisfied with his elder brother!

Qiu Fu was in a daze and recalled the past.

When the Jingnan was just successful, Qiu Fu repeatedly advised the King of Han to fight for the position of crown prince.

Gao Xu had already made the most efforts in the Jingnan Battle, and there was nothing wrong with asking for the position of the crown prince! Qiu Fu also said that the old brothers in Jingnan all thought that Gao Xu could be the crown prince!

However, Gao Xu was timid at that time, and he said that the elder brother was the eldest son and the prince should be the elder brother. Everyone should be harmonious and not make it difficult for the elder brother to deal with himself. At that time, Gao Xu looked like he could not stand up to the wall!

Qiu Fu was very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, after the death of the late emperor, Gao Xu directly raised an army and swept the world. How could he think about how his elder brother dealt with himself?

His elder brother had already proclaimed himself emperor, and Gao Xu raised an army to oppose it at this time, just like he was a life-and-death approach; he was much more cruel than just fighting for the prince back then...

Now Qiu Fu turned around and thought about it, and gradually realized that Gao Xu's approach to showing weakness and tolerance in Yongle Dynasty was the right one.

If Gao Xu hadn't always been indifferent to the throne, could he lead his troops to attack Annan Kingdom?

How can we cultivate party forces in Yunnan?

Maybe he will be arranged to be in a place where he can be guarded without any danger and can be monitored by the court. When it is time to start a military campaign, even he himself doesn't want to start a military campaign. How can he raise a military campaign without strength?

Qiu Fu thought: If Gao Xu had fought for the crown prince in the first place, if he failed, it would be very likely that what he had just speculated!

Because since the late emperor chose the crown prince, it is impossible to plant the hidden dangers of turmoil in the court!

For the overall situation, Gao Xu can only be sacrificed.

Gao Xu was less than 20 years old at that time!

I have never convinced many people in my life, so Gao Xu is one.Qiu Fu murmured.

Qiu Fu glanced at his grandson who was bowing beside him and whispered: Grandson, remember what I said. No matter what happens in the future, you must stand on the side of the King of Han, you will definitely not be wrong! Is there anything more impossible in the future than "twenty thousand people conquering the Ming Dynasty from Yunnan"?

The grandson bowed: Grandson remembers the teachings of grandfather!

...One of the imperial prisons established by the Beizhen Fushi is located in Hongwu Gate.

Hanlin attendant Gao Xianning walked out of his office and went out from the back door; then he detoured through the Hongwu Gate and could see the gate of the imperial prison.

Gao Xianning walked here with a stack of files in his hand.He happened to see Dali Temple Minister and his group walking from Qianbulang toward Hongwu Gate.And this is the time to work.

Today, Gao Xianning found it very strange. He discovered it several times: Xue Yan and the commander of the Jinyiwei Tan Qing were together, and he was in a hurry.

However, the emperor did not summon other ministers, only Xue Yan and others frequently moved... and the direction they hurriedly either entered the palace or went to the imperial prison!

So this afternoon, Gao Xianning found that Xue Yan and others came out of the palace, so he pretended to pass by Hongwu Gate and wanted to determine where Xue Yan and others were going.

After a while, Gao Xianning turned his head slightly and saw Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, and walked into the gate of the imperial prison!

Gao Xianning didn't stop at his feet, and continued to walk north.He walked around the Qianbu Lobby, then walked through the main entrance of the Hanlin Courtyard and returned to the government office.

It was still snowing outside, so Gao Xianning walked into the lobby and patted the snowflakes on his body.

Hu Guang, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zuo Chunfang Grand Secretary and Hanlin editor, who was sitting on the seat, looked at Gao Xianning and said: There was charcoal burning beside him, Gao Shijue roasting.

Thank you, Editor Hu.Gao Xianning bowed.

He walked silently to the brazier and reached out to roast the fire.Hu Guang looked up again and continued to write.

There are not many people in the lobby. Recently, there are fewer and fewer things in the Hanlin Academy. Most government affairs only send people to the Imperial Gate to write imperial edicts.

Since the Hongxi Dynasty, the court has been dispatching troops to fight, and the emperor has not issued an order to compile history and books. Recently, the emperor has begun to manage politics again these days, and the ministers of the ministry and temples no longer come to the Hanlin Academy to discuss matters.

The Hanlin Academy quickly became idle.

Gao Xianning is still thinking about what Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, is he busy with?

The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate of the Ming Dynasty formed a legal check and balance; the Dali Temple was not responsible for ordinary cases.

The matters that the Dali Temple Minister is inquired about must be a major case, and it is very likely that it is an imperial case involving the royal nobles!

At this moment, the clerk around Hu Guang saluted to the two officials and went out with the documents.

There were only two people left in the lobby for a moment. Gao Xianning took advantage of this time and turned around and looked at the Jinyiwei who was trembling outside the lobby. He then said quietly: In the past two days, the lower-ranking official saw Xue Siqing entering and leaving the palace and the imperial prison. Nothing would happen?

Hu Guang stopped hearing this. After a while, he finally couldn't help but say: I've heard that I've gone to Guo's Mansion when I saw Xue Siqing.

Wuding Hou’s mansion?Gao Xianning said.

Hu Guang nodded.

Gao Xianning said: Isn’t Guo Ming in the imperial prison?

Hu Guang said meaningfully: It's Ah...

At this moment, the clerk who had sent the files was back.Gao Xianning no longer said that. He stood up straight, walked to the middle of the room, and bowed: Xiaguan, go back to the study first.

Hu Guang bowed his fists and returned the gift.

Gao Xianning buried his head and looked dazed, and walked slowly back to his study along the corridor in the government office.

He thought for a long time and recalled the various news and rumors he had heard in the court before. At this time, he couldn't help but have a bold assumption: Is Xue Yan investigating the death of the late emperor?

Moreover, Guo Ming’s eldest daughter is also very likely to be involved!

Because Concubine Guo gave birth to a prince, her status in the Eastern Palace was second only to that of Zhang; however, after ascending the throne today, Concubine Guo not only failed to be crowned the imperial concubine, but she hadn't even heard of where the man was for a long time, as if she had disappeared.

Such a strange thing will certainly lead to speculation.

I just heard from the cabinet chief Hu Guang that Xue Yan had been to Guo’s mansion several times; it made Gao Xianning believe his thoughts!

Gao Xianning wanted to further confirm his guess, but now he can't find a way and there is no reliable person in the Jinyiwei.

His fellow villager Ji Gang left his neck last year and hung it on Chengtian Gate for several days; Yang Yong, who was placed in the Jinyiwei of the King of Han, was suspected and unable to get rid of his relationship because he killed the eunuch Yang Qing, and is still locked in the imperial prison for eating.

The princess's son Wang Zhenliang has a friendship with the King of Han. At present, the Wang family's mansion is full of Jinyiwei's eyes and ears, and he has been stared to death for a long time!

Gao Xianning had no choice but to do anything, and even felt fear in his heart.The only person Gao Xianning knew about the traitor of the King of Han in the capital.

He thought about it and made a series of speculations...

The death of the late emperor should have nothing to do with the current Shangbang clan.This is extremely likely!After all, if Xue Yan was investigating that case, he would definitely have to agree with the emperor; the emperor could not investigate what he had done by himself.

It must have nothing to do with Ji Gang's Red Pill.Gao Xianning understands Ji Gang, a fellow villager. Ji Gang is greedy for money, power, and sex, and cannot pass the greed level, but he is still quite experienced in dealing with people; Ji Gang is not that stupid.

Gao Xianning knew very well why Ji Gang died. It was just that there were too many people who offended and were pulled out to vent his anger by the civil and military officials in the court.

If Emperor Taizong did not die, Gao Xianning would also conclude that Ji Gang would take this path!

If Ji Gang doesn’t take the blame, is it the bad thing done by Emperor Taizong, who is wise and virtuous?

If Xue Yan could find out the inside story of the death of the late emperor and confirm it, it would be true that the Han King would be in trouble in terms of justice!

First of all, there was no reason for the King of Han to raise an army.Secondly, if the King of Han wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, it would be even more morally unreasonable.

The battle to fight crime has been beaten to this point, and in the end, the King of Han will definitely not say anything of great justice; no matter what the statement is, the King of Han will seize the throne and have no choice.

However, these things in terms of titles can sometimes make the superiors unable to sleep or eat.

The King of Han can also deny the truth found by the Hong Xi Dynasty, but if the Hong Xi Dynasty made it public in advance, the facts would be in the hearts of the world, and it would not be so easy to make excuses.

The government can only control the world's mouths and not talk about them in the open.

The more Gao Xianning thought about it, the more he felt that the hidden dangers of this matter were very great!

After the drum sounded at the You hour, the officials of the Hanlin Academy immediately left the government office.

Gao Xianning returned to the mansion rewarded by the late emperor. He weighed in his heart: Should he wait for a while and further determine the speculation; or should he leave the capital quietly as soon as possible and report to the King of Han.
