On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 51 Zhao Gao, former left prime minister of Qin

"Your Majesty, under the circumstances at that time, I had no choice but to do so. I was really forced by the Second Prince and I didn't dare to disobey."

In the prison.

The normally dignified ministers were all kneeling together, with tears and runny noses streaming down their cheeks.

However, there was no mercy in Wu Mingyue's eyes.

The situation at that time was forced by the situation, and perhaps it was excusable.

But now that so much time has passed, there have been countless opportunities, but the time to explain has not been opened.

If he hadn't accidentally discovered the notes left by Gu Changsheng.

Wouldn't it be better to be deceived to death?

This is the truth behind the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

After calling a deer a horse and killing her brother and father, she realized that the most vicious person among the three siblings was actually the third brother Wu Mingfeng who usually seemed the most harmless and thoughtless.

Before... I wrongly blamed Gu Changsheng.

Wu Mingyue looked at the many ministers in the cell with a complicated expression, her heart filled with regret and guilt.

When she arrived at Xuanwu Gate, she happened to see the third brother's personal guards confronting Gu Changsheng's army.

The body of his second brother Wu Ming lay at the feet of Gu Changsheng.

He preconceived the idea that all these things were done by Gu Changsheng.

How could I be so stupid?

Wu Mingyue felt regretful and wished she could slap herself several times.

But she quickly adjusted, took a deep breath, and glanced at the kneeling courtiers with cold eyes.

"That Zhao Gao, what is his origin, why does the third brother listen to him so much, and where is he now? I want to kill his nine tribes."

The voice was bone-chilling, full of anger and resentment.

Eunuchs harmed the country, and eunuchs harmed the country.

In his early days, his father was bewitched by the great eunuch Qin Hui, and countless loyal and famous generals were brutally murdered.

Now the third brother also listened to the eunuch's slander and killed his father and usurped the throne.

The great Zhou Dynasty really had an indissoluble bond with these eunuchs.

Wu Mingyue laughed at himself.

Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, she could never find a chance to make amends.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gao was originally the left prime minister of the Qin State. After the Qin State was destroyed, for some unknown reason, he came to the third prince's house again."

"Some people have also seen... seen..."

A short minister hesitated and hesitated, as if he had a huge secret.

"Say!"

Wu Mingyue stared at the man with cold eyes and shouted coldly.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The man trembled all over, swallowed hard, and returned quickly.

"Someone once saw Zhao Gao and General Gu toasting and drinking together afterwards, as if they were celebrating something. After that, Zhao Gao completely disappeared from the court."

"How dare you talk nonsense!"

When Wu Mingyue heard this, she became furious and smashed the stone table next to her with her palm.

These people were so stubborn that they dared to throw dirty water on Gu Changsheng when they were about to die.

"No, no!"

The man was so frightened that he fell to his knees and waved his hands quickly: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I have never deceived you. If there is even a half word that is false, I am willing to be punished by thousands of arrows piercing the heart." "Seeking death!" Drag him down and torture him."

At this time, Wu Mingyue was immersed in guilt and could not hear any excuses.

The execution will be ordered immediately.

"Your Majesty, what this guy said doesn't sound like a lie."

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who had been hiding behind and trying their best to reduce their presence, rarely spoke.

"It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are good. These old guys' nine clans cannot be saved anyway, so there is no reason to lie at this time."

"Moreover, if the second prince and the third prince are fighting against each other, who will win in the end?"

heard.

Wu Mingyue's movements suddenly froze.

Indeed, what the two said makes sense.
If Gu Changsheng's mission is to assist him in ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

Under the circumstances at that time, as expected, it was his second brother Wu Ming who finally succeeded to the throne.

Furthermore, although I was carried away by anger at the time, I was not completely irrational.

Whenever Gu Changsheng gives her an explanation, she won't completely believe it for a while.

He would never be labeled as a rebel just like that.

But the other party's response was to attack the city directly, as if they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Qin, if I remember correctly.

Gu Changsheng disappeared on the battlefield for a while.

It happened to be the war zone between Zhou Dynasty and Qin Dynasty.

From the timeline, it is indeed possible that the two knew each other.

It's that so-called mission again.

Wu Mingyue's mind was spinning, and she thought of many things in an instant, but she couldn't grasp the core.

She only felt that this matter was getting more and more complicated.

First of all, Gu Changsheng did come to Dazhou with some kind of mission.

For him, this task is extremely important.

It was even important enough to make him give up Xuanyuan Sword.

Give up the position of supreme leader.

Give up the opportunity to seek immortality and become a heavenly being.

Connecting countless clues obtained in the past, all Gu Changsheng's actions in Da Zhou ultimately only served one purpose.

Let yourself be crowned emperor.

But Wu Mingyue still couldn't understand, is this really that important?

What is so special about myself?
Now Gu Changsheng has disappeared, after completing the mission.

It can be seen from the reaction of the Immortal Fairy that Gu Changsheng must have encountered some difficulties recently?Life is worrying, so in order not to hurt everyone, I choose to leave alone and silently.

Whether, the root cause lies in the "person" who issued the mission after Gu Changsheng.

In that battle for power, was Gu Changsheng really innocent?
New mysteries emerge again.

If you want to find out the truth of everything, you must first find the eunuch named Zhao Gao who was next to your third brother.

The only clue currently in Wu Mingyue's hands is the notebook that Gu Changsheng accidentally left behind.
