Chapter 366
Xiao Changqing looked at the direction where Xiao Huayong disappeared and said in a deep voice: "I was careless."

A few days ago, I shouldn't have gone to see Gu Qingshu because I was curious about whether Shen Xihe had any relationship with Gu Qingshu. He is now the person Xiao Huayong is following closely, and any disturbance will arouse Xiao Huayong's suspicion and exploration.

"How do you deal with Gu's daughter?" Xiao Changying cared more about this.

"Don't worry, I have a way to prevent future troubles forever." Xiao Changqing's eyes were fixed.

Xiao Changying was a little suspicious. Can Xiao Changqing figure out how to kill Gu Qingshu?
In fact, Xiao Changying was too naive, and Gu Qingzhi was secretly sent to Xinwang Mansion by Xiao Huayong's people. Early the next morning, Xiao Changqing brought Gu Qingshu into the palace, knelt in front of Emperor Youning and surrendered: "My son replaces the death row prisoner!" , the crime is unforgivable, please punish severely, Your Majesty."

Emperor Youning raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then bowed his head to review the memorials, and one batch took an hour.

"It's been a year, did you remember to be honest with me?" Emperor Youning asked in a flat tone after taking a sip of tea.

Xiao Changqing bowed his head and remained silent, Emperor Youning was a smart man, and so was he.These words were obviously asking him, who caught the handle, and he knew he had turned himself in when he couldn't hold back.

Xiao Huayong accompanied Shen Xihe out of the palace yesterday, and the itinerary was basically under the control of Emperor Youning, but it was not Xiao Huayong himself who returned to the palace from the Princess's Mansion in a carriage, he went to the letter Only the two brothers Xiao Changqing and Xin Wangfu chief Shi knew about the palace.

He is not afraid that Xiao Changqing will stab him out, because he has a way to make Xiao Changqing say anything that is just slander, which is an extra crime to fool His Majesty.

How could Xiao Changqing not know that since Xiao Huayong dared to come to the door blatantly, he must have nothing to fear, so he could only say: "The Gu family was beheaded, the son lost his wife in pain, and he felt resentful."

Because I hated him in my heart, I didn't want to bring him in front of His Majesty. Now I bring him because I have figured it out, and I don't want to retreat because I was exposed by others.

Since the death of Mrs. Gu, Xiao Changqing has hated Emperor Youning with a straight neck. Emperor Youning has always known this. Today, he bowed his head and surrendered. Emperor Youning looked at Gu Qingshu who was next to him. .

He thought of Gu Qingzhi, his biological sister, whose eyebrows were somewhat similar but very different.

"The Gu family... I am also ashamed. Since you risked your life to save her, I will reward her as your side concubine." A concubine is not qualified to be a prince and concubine.

This is because he does not intend to pursue him for the crime of replacing the death row prisoner. Xiao Changqing actually counted this point. His Majesty wants him to live. Checking and balancing the old eighth may now be the checking and balancing of the prince. If the Gu family has not been rehabilitated, he would never dare to do so. Forgiving Gu Qingshu was considered a comfort.

Gu Qingshu was overjoyed, never thought that she would be able to be by his side in an upright manner.

"Your Majesty, Ashu Yu'er is his wife and sister. My son has lost his wife for less than a year, so he doesn't want to continue to take a concubine." Xiao Changqing respectfully kowtowed.

Gu Qingshu's face turned pale in an instant, tears welled up in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid embarrassment.

Emperor Youning sized Xiao Changqing up for a while, but he didn't get angry or forced: "Forget it, I will help you."

Xiao Changqing took Gu's daughter to meet His Majesty and confessed his guilt. Not only did His Majesty not pursue the responsibility, but returned some of the Gu family's property to Gu Qingshu, and made her the county lord, allowing her to return to the Gu family.

As soon as this news came out, many people in Kyoto were at a loss and could not understand His Majesty's intentions.

After Shen Xihe heard the news, it was rare for him to lose his mind. Bu Shulin said a few words but got no response, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Xihe staring at something intently.

She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Shen Xihe's eyes, shaking Shen Xihe back to God before saying: "I was talking to you, did you hear me?"

"You said that Wang Xin saved the girl from the Gu family." Shen Xihe continued.

"Yeah, King Xin is so brave. He dared to replace the death row prisoner. I heard that someone has already asked His Majesty to investigate the case of the Gu family last year. Maybe Gu Gong is not dead." Bu Shulin said mysteriously. .

"No." Shen Xihe said firmly.

For a while, Bu Shulin didn't understand what the word "can't" refers to.

Is it because His Majesty will not agree to the request of these people?Or Gu Gong will not die.

"Not at all." Shen Xihe added, "Your Majesty knows that Gu...Gu Gong is dead."

"Gu Qingshu has come out, so Your Majesty doesn't doubt it at all?" Bu Shulin felt that he would be suspicious if it were him.

"Your Majesty... actually knows Gu Gong better than many people." Shen Xihe turned his head and looked at the lush grass, "If they had a choice, they would not be enemies."

His Majesty knew that without Gu Zhao, he would not be the emperor, he would not be able to overthrow the eunuchs, and he would not be able to stabilize the situation.

Gu Zhao also understood that without His Majesty, our court would not be revived and prosperous again.

However, they can join forces to defend against enemies only when there are still foreign enemies.

Before the previous dynasty, the aristocratic family had been superior to the emperor for thousands of years. The advent of the imperial examination in the previous dynasty had an impact on the aristocratic family, and it was only after the current dynasty that the aristocratic family gradually declined, and the rights in their hands gradually disappeared.

It is impossible for Gu Zhao to withdraw from this political arena. He cannot make the Gu family become sinners. He can only be pushed by the family to be hostile to the imperial power step by step. It is impossible for him to lead the family to bow to the imperial power.

As an emperor, Emperor Youning is even less likely to become a puppet. If Emperor Youning wants to become a capable emperor, he must cut down the family. The Gu family and the royal family must fight. In this battle, the Gu family will definitely lose, because Gu Zhao said However, Your Majesty is a promising king.

He couldn't abandon the family that gave birth to him, and he couldn't let the Gu family bear the infamy after a hundred years, so he chose to resist to the end, but he kept his hands on Emperor Youning everywhere, and he chose to be a loser.

This is why Gu Qingzhi saw the end of the Gu family from the very beginning, and never used the identity of Princess Xin to stir up the current situation.

Gu Zhao and Emperor Youning are a game between the monarch and his ministers, a pair of life-and-death friends who complete each other.If not, it would be impossible for Emperor Youning to rehabilitate the Gu family just by relying on the situation Gu Qingzhi set up before his death.

If Gu Zhao was born in a poor family, maybe he and Emperor Youning would be rulers and ministers to help each other and rule the world together.

Therefore, even if Xiao Changqing really wanted to save Gu Zhao, Gu Zhao would not agree.

He, too tired, wants to rest forever.

This is why Gu Qingzhi looked at the world coldly. She knew very early on that she loves her father. She has a family, a king, and a people in her heart. In the end, it is their family members. He can use the survival of the family to go all over the world. Emperor Ning smashed the family and dedicated the most powerful blow.

Fortunately, her father is not like this. Shen Yueshan is a bloody man. He has peace of mind for the common people, but he values ​​his small family more. It is impossible for His Majesty to let him go back to the mountains and forests. As long as he is alive and raises his arms, he can disturb the morale of the army .
