The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 450 A Lifetime (Epilogue)
If the official family had ever wanted to recognize Zhang Chunting, they would not have allowed him to gain notoriety.

Therefore, it is definitely forced and helpless.

"And my brother's second bargaining chip is the Queen of the Middle Palace. The truth about the Flying Bird case is revealed, and the former Crown Prince was not involved at all. At that time, Concubine Su and the Queen were fighting to the death. The Crown Prince's rebellion must have been fueled by Concubine Su. ”

"Although my brother is in charge of the Imperial City Division, his foundation is still shallow. At this time, the queen is your best ally."

Zhang Chunting gave Gu Shinwei an appreciative look, "But I am the executioner who killed his son. The Imperial City Division has purged the princelings, and we have a blood feud."

Hearing this, Gu Shiwei couldn't help but secretly cursed the late emperor as an old fox.

He had long wanted Zhang Chunting to never have an ally, so he deliberately asked him to kill the first prince.

"So the second bargaining chip is Zhao Yi. If I guess correctly, Zhao Yi is the son of the late prince, right?"

"Only in this way can the queen rise from decadence, temporarily put aside her past grudges, and stand by her brother's side."

Wherever there is any family affection in the temple, it is all straightforward or not straightforward exchange of interests.

If not, why would the Queen side with Zhang Chunting? She can watch the fight from afar. No matter who wins in the end, as long as the official family is alive and well, she will definitely be the queen mother.

And when the former prince conspired to rebel, the officials did not depose her, so how could they depose him at this time?

The emperor, who appeared to be benevolent but was actually ruthless, had spent his whole life balancing the skills to keep her in place to restrict the Su family in the future.

Zhang Chunting now looked at Gu Shiwei with more admiration in his eyes. He stepped down from the dragon chair and sat down next to Gu Shiwei like an ordinary brother.

"I felt compassion for a moment, but I didn't expect that one day it would come in handy."

Zhang Chunting was also sighing as he explained.

"Zhao Yi was born to the prince's concubine. The concubine had a humble background and was not well-respected. It was not known that the child was not favored. When the East Palace was raided, the officials issued a kill order. Wei Changming looked at the child and thought of himself. So he begged me to let the child live."

"I thought about how I was rescued by your father when I was desperate that day. In a moment of weakness, I gave the child up for adoption."

"Zhao Yi now claims to be my son. His mother died young. I didn't expect you to guess his identity."

Gu Shiwei listened, but frowned slightly, and she thought thoughtfully, "At that time, I saw the queen getting close to the child, hugging him when she went out, and I heard that the official asked you to make Zhao Yiwei Prince, I have some guesses in my mind."

Zhang Chunting could not have any heirs, so the next emperor must be a descendant of the clan named Zhao.

There is no need for the officials to specially designate Zhao Yi, a young boy who doesn't know whether he can be raised yet, so Zhao Yi must be special.

The only child who can be given "special" treatment by the officials and the queen at the same time is the child of the first prince.

Zhang Chunting looked at Gu Shinwei's frown and chuckled, "Why, are you worried that the child will resent me for killing his biological father when he grows up? Another forced uterus? Do you think I will be afraid?"

Gu Shiwei was stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.

"Not afraid."

Zhang Chunting watched Gu Shinwei's eyebrows soften. He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, tasting it slowly.

"Li Sansi will be in charge of the palace affairs department. You can be the envoy of the imperial city."

Zhang Chunting said with a faint look in his eyes, "You are still young, so you are not in a hurry to get married... Let Yushi Han be anxious first."

……

Han Shiyan was in a hurry.

When Gu Shiwei came out of the palace, he caught sight of Han Yushi who was almost blinded by the setting sun. He should have just come out of the censor's desk. He was still wearing official robes. He stood by the carriage and watched with his feet up. The moment he saw her, his eyes lit up.

"Taking care of family matters, you have figured it out. If we wait any longer, our young master will stand on tiptoe looking at his wife! All the gentlemen are taking a detour to see him here! They are so frightened that they don't know who he will marry next. !”

Han Shiyan heard how noisy he was and turned to look at Chang Guan, "You should go back first!"

Chang Guan wanted to say something else, but when he saw Han Shiyan's eyes asking for a knife, he stuck out his tongue and drove away quickly.

As soon as he left, Han Shiyan felt that the air around him became sweeter, "For family matters, why don't we walk back together."

Gu Shinwei nodded in a funny way, "Yu Shi Han asked the carriage to leave first. If we don't walk, what else can we do? I can't carry you on my back, right?"

Upon hearing this, Han Shiyan knelt down in front of Gu Shiwei, "I'll carry you."

Gu Shiwei felt her cheeks suddenly become hot. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the guards standing in front of the palace gate, all of whom were holding back their smiles and looking over here, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Aren't you afraid that everyone in Bianjing will say you are immoral tomorrow?"

"I'm carrying my wife, what can others say?"

Gu Shinwei cleared his throat, "Who is your wife? The official just told me not to be in a hurry to get married..."

She said goodbye and climbed onto Han Shiyan's back with a slight jump.

Han Shiyan was so strangled that he couldn't breathe. He quickly stood up straight and lifted Gu Shiwei up, "Mr. Gu, please relax your arms."

Gu Shinwei hurriedly let go of his hand, "Haha, I'm used to chokeholds! I forgot, I forgot..."

Han Shiyan felt like he could breathe easier and walked slowly with Gu Shiwei on his back. The two of them were still a little stiff before, but it didn't take long for them to feel comfortable again. There were very few people walking at the entrance of the palace, and only carriages occasionally passed by.

"After the national funeral, I will come to the house to hire someone. All I have will be used as a betrothal gift for Gu's relatives. From now on, I will be a pauper and have to rely on my wife to support me."

Seeing him saying this again, Gu Shinwei jumped off Han Shiyan's back. She walked to Han Shiyan's side, took his hand and shook it.

She turned her head and looked at Han Shiyan beside her.

"Han Shi and I are like the Imperial City Secretary and the Yushitai, equal opponents and friends standing side by side."

"I don't need you to put yourself in a lower position than me, we can just be fine..."

Gu Shiwei said, raising their intertwined hands.

"Well, for life."

……

"Excuse me, is it a matter between Han Yushi from Yushitai and Gu Gu from the Imperial City Department? The name of the slave family is Meng Guizhi. The slave family has a grievance. I heard that the two adults were arresting traitorous officials and beating villains, so they came to Beijing to complain."

On the side of the bluestone road, a woman wearing common clothes was kneeling upright.

Her hands were holding up a piece of paper in the sky. The paper was red and written with blood.

"Please ask two adults to rectify the grievances of the civilian women!"

Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan looked at each other and helped Meng Guizhi...

Their lives are still very long...
