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

Chapter 1160
This time it was beyond Gu Chengyu's expectation, this is indeed a last letter.However, the owner of the blood book was not Xia Qing, but Zhang Shuo, Xia Qing's disciple.

After Gu Chengyu was surprised, he carefully checked the contents of the blood book.

"The minister is guilty!

The guilty minister had joined Daxing as early as ten years ago, when he had just been promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of punishment.Back then, the people of Daxing found criminal officials and lured them with gold and silver.The guilty minister was confused for a while, and he did something wrong, and he felt guilty all the time.However, it was too late. How could those people let off the criminals because of their wolfish ambitions?

Because of this matter, the guilty minister also implicated his mentor.After the teacher learned about this yesterday, he wanted to take the blame for the guilty minister.Daoist Tianji was originally recommended by his sinful officials to his mentor, but his mentor no doubt had him, so he recommended him to the emperor.

The guilty minister was greedy for life and afraid of death, and hurt his mentor, but now he repents and just wants to return justice to his mentor.All the evidence of the crime was in a small courtyard on South Street, and the guilty minister knew that the wrong he had committed was unacceptable.How can such a disloyal and unfilial person survive in the world?
Today, the guilty minister committed suicide here, and I hope to return my teacher's innocence! "

Gu Chengyu read the blood book in one go, and he had to admire that the centipede is dead but not stiff!
What the hell, is there still such an operation?It's all at this point, is there still a chance to come back?
Anyway, if Gu Chengyu was killed, he would not believe that Zhang Shuo was the mastermind.

But before Xia Qing came to the palace, if Zhang Shuo had planted all the evidence of the crime, then Xia Qing would have a great chance of making a comeback.

The prince said that no evidence of Xia Qing's collusion with foreign countries could be found in the Xia Mansion, and now Zhang Shuo's bloody confession appeared, all of which were calculated.

He didn't know if Zhang Shuo had colluded with Daxing with Xia Qing, but he believed that Xia Qing must be the mastermind.

Judging from Xia Qing's performance of not standing in line in the past, it must be because he thought that Dayan would be subverted sooner or later, so what are these princes?
"Your Highness! May I ask if Zhang Shuo can be saved?" Gu Chengyu held the blood book in his hand and looked at the prince who was staring at him.

The prince shook his head, with a regretful expression, "He swallowed the two gold rings hidden in his sleeve, and died in the end."

Gu Chengyu sighed, the only ones who could threaten Zhang Shuo were his family members.If Xia Qing is guilty, then Zhang Shuo must also be involved.So Zhang Shuo's feelings can be imagined when he learned that the teacher put all the evidence on him.

But the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Shuo had to think about his family.The ancients valued the succession of the family, and must not cut off the incense.

Xia Qing's methods are nothing more than those kinds, and he might attack the other party's heirs.For example, threatening the life of the other party's son-in-law, and so on.

However, this trick has been tried and tested, as parents, of course they want to protect their children.So in the end, I could only swallow my anger and sacrifice myself.

But this Xia Qing was indeed a cruel and merciless person, Zhang Shuo was his disciple, he was very respectful to him in the past, Xia Qing was willing to push Zhang Shuo out.

It is not easy for a right-hand man to climb up to the position of the third rank.If it hadn't been for the emperor's special permission back then, Zhang Shuo would never have been able to stay in the capital as an official with Xia Qing, and he might have been released by the emperor long ago.

From this point of view, the emperor is not mean to Xia Qing!Xia Qing has been calling the wind and calling the rain in the court these years, so majestic.

Just like that, Xia Qing actually wanted to rebel.Shoufu is already a first-rank member, what else does the other party want?Gu Chengyu found it difficult to understand Xia Qing's move.

Suddenly, he had an idea. Could it be that Xia Qing still wanted to be the emperor himself?
Um?Thinking about it, Gu Chengyu felt that this was not impossible.

But Xia Qing colluded with Daxing, but Daxing was so covetous about Dayan, if it was annexed, where would there be Dayan?
Now he really didn't understand what Xia Qing was trying to do by doing this.

"Your Highness! What do you think of the contents of this blood book?" Gu Chengyu's thoughts cannot replace those of the superior, it depends on what the crown prince thinks.

If he wanted Xia Qing to be innocent, then the contents of the blood book were true.If the prince doesn't want to, he will definitely investigate.

Gu Chengyu naturally thinks that people like Xia Qing who have colluded with Daxing should not be kept, but it can't be now to get rid of the other party.But I'm afraid that the crown prince is willing to trust Xia Qing, the purpose is self-evident.

He saw that the crown prince was quite proficient in using the emperor's balance technique.

Looking at the DPRK and China, there are very few outstanding ones at present.If you want to support another person to fight against him, you must spend a lot of energy.Furthermore, he still has something in his hands that makes the prince sleepless.

The prince pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Gu? Do you think that Zhang Shuo is the mastermind who colluded with foreign countries?"

Seeing the prince throwing back the question again, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel uneasy. It seems that the prince's plan ran counter to his own plan.

"Your Highness! I think that, as stated in the blood book, Zhang Shuo colluded with Daxing when he was still a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. Why did the other party choose a low-ranking official for a doctor of the fifth rank? Why did only Zhang Shuo be selected among the Chinese and military officials of the dynasty?"

Gu Chengyu threw the question back to the prince again, he wanted to test the prince's thinking.

"That's naturally because Zhang Shuo is Xia Qing's disciple. Xia Qing, as the chief assistant of the first rank, naturally has a lot of power in the court. For their great cause, it is not surprising that Zhang Shuo was chosen." The prince replied without thinking.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Since the other party wants to borrow Xia Shoufu's power, after Zhang Shuo took the bait, didn't they collude with Xia Shoufu? I believe Zhang Shuo will definitely recommend it for them?"

Hearing the words, the prince suddenly raised his head and glanced at Gu Chengyu, is this leading him into a trap?But how to deal with Xia Qing, he really didn't think about it now.

"You mean that even if Xia Qing didn't take part in it, it's not like he didn't know about it. He must know what his disciple did, but he just kept it secret?"

Gu Chengyu's heart sank, and he said after a while: "It's not something everyone can do, but how does His Highness think that Xia Qing didn't participate in it? Maybe"

"Is he the mastermind?"

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he looked at the prince. The prince's performance just now made him a little disappointed.

Xia Qing is a collaborator and traitor who colludes with foreign countries. If he keeps this kind of person in the court just because he wants to balance the power of the court, then he has to really think about whether his previous decision was right or wrong up.

The prince pondered for a while, and thought for a long time before saying: "But there is no evidence that he colluded with foreign countries in Xia Qing's mansion, and there is no evidence that I want to punish him. What's more, everything now is our guess, we should wait and see." After finding out, let's discuss how to deal with it!"

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, is this perfunctory, or does he really think so?
