The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1159 His choice
Gu Chengyu quickly went down the steps, "Thank you for your highness, I will do my best to serve the court!"

The prince suddenly felt a little displeased with the second half of Gu Chengyu's sentence, serving the court?Why not serve his prince?
"So I ask you, what did the father say before he died? Could it be the father?" The prince stared at Gu Chengyu closely, narrowing his eyes.

Then he said again: "Could it be that the father wants to pass the throne to other princes?"

Gu Chengyu was shocked when he heard the words, and he asked with surprise on his face: "Why did your Highness say that? You are a prince, and you should inherit the orthodoxy of the country."

In fact, Gu Chengyu was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the prince's mind to be so sharp.

The prince couldn't help but smiled sarcastically, "It should be? Yes! As the prince, I should indeed inherit the throne. But who knows what my father will think? Even before he dies, he is unwilling to confess his last words to me. Dissatisfied?"

In the past, he only regarded him as a father and looked down upon him, because he didn't like his temperament.But now he felt that his father was simply eccentric.The father likes the elder brother, because the father thinks that the elder brother is most like him.The same intelligence, the same determination.

The father also has a certain liking for the third child, even though the third child is impulsive and irritable, acts ruthlessly, often messes up errands, and is even worse than their brothers in strategy.But the father loves the house and Wu, because the third child is the son of a concubine Xian.

Where is the fourth child?In fact, the fourth child is the same as him, right?
But he is different from the fourth child in that he is the son of the middle palace, while the fourth child is only born to a court lady.When the father was still the crown prince, the forces behind the mother devoted all their energy and dedication to the father.

But look at today?It's ridiculous that when he ascended to the position of prince, he even made his mother sacrifice the iron certificate and power of the Li clan of his mother's clan.

At the beginning, the father respected the queen mother very much, but after the mother queen Fanghua was gone, the father emperor began to dislike the mother queen.

For the mother, it is not as good as the year after year, and in recent years, I only go to Guangning Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the junior high school.

If it weren't for the rules set by the ancestors, maybe the emperor wouldn't even want to step into Guangning Palace.

Dispelling these painful memories from his mind, he said to Gu Chengyu with a smile: "Perhaps you don't know yet, the father made me the prince for the sake of the iron certificate of the book of pills. The Li family handed them over. After a hundred years of glory, he handed over his power and exchanged for the position of the crown prince of this palace."

"Now do you still think that this palace is valued by the emperor?" Having said this, the prince's face darkened.

Of course Gu Chengyu had heard about this matter, "No matter what the reason why the emperor appointed you as the crown prince, isn't it you who is now sitting as the crown prince? This is an unchangeable fact. Since you are already the crown prince, Why care about those things before? Those are all in the past."

The prince glanced at Gu Chengyu in surprise, yes!It's all over, no matter who the father was in his heart before, anyway, he is the one who becomes the prince now.

"The prince is the heir apparent of a country!"

Gu Chengyu has a slight smile on his face, this is his position!
When he heard Gu Chengyu's words, he suddenly laughed, very heartily. Is this Gu Chengyu's choice?
No matter who the father wants to pass the throne to, as long as he is the last emperor.Now it's not the emperor's summoning, but Gu Chengyu's choice.

"This Palace will definitely live up to the expectations of my father and Lord Gu!"

The big stone in the prince's heart was finally let go, he and Gu Chengyu looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't hurt each other.

Gu Chengyu smiled on the face, but was thinking in his heart. It seems that the prince has already confirmed that the emperor's will is in his hands.Now the prince still has something to ask of himself, so he is naturally a bit courteous to himself.

But what about when the prince ascends the throne?At that time, he will already be the emperor, will he try to get the edict in his hand?
The prince's strategy is not low, Gu Chengyu doesn't want to live in the constant precautions and calculations of the superiors.

Now the prince still has to rely on himself to help him sit on the throne of God, but Gu Chengyu is a little worried. When everything is a foregone conclusion, won't the prince find a reason to send him down?
Just like the Xue family back then!
No one will tolerate the handle that can threaten themselves falling into the hands of others, otherwise they will not be able to sleep at night.

"Before you came, Kuang Zhaoying came here, and he reported the information he got out of Xia Qing's mouth. Daoist Priest Tianji and Xia Qing are indeed very close, but they are not familiar with each other."

When Gu Chengyu heard the words, he immediately came back to his senses.

"Didn't it mean that Daoist Tianji was recommended by Xia Qing? The official thought that this person must have colluded with Daxing, so Xia Qing recommended this person with bad intentions. He may have had contacts with Daxing on weekdays, Your Highness! Is there any gain in sending people to search Xia Qing's mansion?"

Gu Chengyu put his energy on Xia Qing again, such a person who always wanted to put himself to death, wouldn't he be too sorry for himself if he didn't wait for the other party to step on him when he was in trouble?
Besides, his analysis is well-founded, and there is absolutely no falsehood.

"No, I didn't find any evidence of collusion with Daxing. But just now, Kuang Zhaoying gave me something, Pang Chu! Keep outside, don't let anyone in, and no one is allowed to report." The prince stood guard outside. shouted Pang Chu.

Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled, the prince was so nervous, could it be Xia Qing's confession?
He had a hunch that with Xia Qing's cunning temperament, he would never rush to the palace to express his condolences without doing anything.

After all, everyone knows that Daoist Tianji was recommended by Xia Qing at the beginning, and now that the emperor is dying because of Daoist Tianji's pill, Xia Qing should run away.

If Xia Qing had colluded with Daxing, then he returned to the palace at this moment, could it be that he wanted to cooperate with Daxing's people internally and externally?

Thinking of those men in black, Gu Chengyu felt that it was very possible.It's just that Xia Qing didn't expect that the prince didn't listen to his explanation at all, and put him and his disciples in prison.

Pang Chu responded quickly, feeling puzzled in his heart, His Highness had ordered just now, no one is allowed to report.Why did His Highness repeat it now?It seems that His Highness really values ​​Mr. Gu!
The prince did not shy away from Gu Chengyu, and directly turned a magpie relief on the desk, and a hidden compartment suddenly appeared on the desk.

Gu Chengyu was dumbfounded, did the crown prince trust him so much?Such an important organization did not shy away from him.

cough!Is he thinking too much?Maybe people are thinking of changing this book case?

The prince took out an irregular piece of silk cloth from the secret compartment, with some dark red blood stains on it.

Um?Wouldn't it be what he thought?
"Look at it!" The prince handed the silk cloth to Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu gave the prince a suspicious look, and reached out to take it.

Open the silk cloth, and sure enough, it's a blood book!
Gu Chengyu was startled, did Xia Qing commit suicide in fear of crime?He hurriedly glanced at the signature below.

The guilty minister Zhang Shuo!

Gu Chengyu's eyes widened, what's going on?
