Chapter 378 Impossible To Spare Him From Death

Song Cheng said: "Didn't the lord leave a chance with Gu Lian?"

Yang Su looked at him for a while, then laughed: "How do you say that?"

Song Chengdao: "The crown prince's greatest support is the Gu family, but the combination of interests will inevitably lead to discord. Originally, there was only the crown prince, and this position can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Later, when a prince came, he could still compete for it.

"Now that there is another Fu Rong with such background, Donggong really has no chance of winning.

"Gu Lian is not stupid, on the contrary he is very shrewd. At this time, he will definitely not think about fighting for the throne, but only think about how to protect the Gu family to the greatest extent.

"But the crown prince will not give up easily. He is within reach of the throne, and he is separated from the Gu family. If he is not in power, even if there is no prince and Fu Rong, there is only death waiting for him.

"However, even though the Gu family is estranged from him, they still have an inseparable connection, so Gu Lian stopped the prince several times before.

"If the prince stabbed the prince with the sword earlier, if he died, the Gu family would have no reason to even stand up to resist, so the prince would have expected Gu Lian to rush forward to save him, right?"

The previous scene went very fast, Yang Su didn't expect that he would see everything in his eyes.

Seeing him laughing but not saying a word, Song Cheng said again: "My lord let Gu Lian suffer this sword, in exchange for the crown prince's emotion, since he has already sent Mr. Liang to Gu's family to heal his wounds, why not strike while the iron is hot and go look for Gu Lian?" How about negotiating to find a solution?

"At the moment, only Gu Lian can convince the crown prince. The crown prince is the crown prince after all, and now the prince has invited him to be the regent. As long as he is willing to make an order to help out, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks when the prince sends troops into the city!"

Yang Su couldn't help restraining his expression, half-closed his eyes and thought for a while, then got up: "Then please accompany Xiao Wang to Gu's house."

"My lord, please!"

……

Yang Su's martial arts are superb, although the previous sword pierced a blood vessel, it did not hurt any bones.

The subordinates came to report that when King Jin and Song Yi arrived, he was just finishing listening to the message brought by the subordinates from the upper house Gu Zhe.

After taking a seat in front of the bed, Yang Su presented the two old ginseng he had brought, and said, "I missed it earlier and accidentally injured my lord, I am very sorry."

Gu Lian said: "Where is the prince talking. Your Highness the Crown Prince is reckless, and I have to ask the prince to read it as a brotherhood with the Prince. Don't blame it."

Yang Su smiled, and said, "Lord Gu has devoted himself to the crown prince."

Gu Lian's expression gradually became condensed: "The queen is my aunt and my father's only younger sister. As a servant of Daning, I have been Mu En for many years, and I should do my best for the children of the Yang family and the Gu family. At least, also We should protect him to live safely, what does the prince say?"

"But according to His Royal Highness's current situation, it may not be easy to be safe."

"Your majesty's unexpected chess game really caught people off guard." Gu Lian raised his head, "But now that the prince is here, everything will be easy to talk about."

As he said that, he took out the greeting card from the pillow in the back and handed it to him.

Yang Su took it over.He raised his eyebrows and said: "Fu Rong is not slow." Putting down the invitation, he said again: "Has Mr. Gu seen Fu Shizi?"

"I have a long history of friendship with the prince, and thanks to the prince who sent a good doctor to treat the wound, how can I meet other people?"

Gu Lian still threw the greeting card back on the pillow, and said: "There is no need to beat around the bush with the lord. Fu Rong has long been ambitious, and now it has been revealed that his matriarch is the Guangshu Palace. For the lord, the pressure will be great. increased."

"So come to ask your lord, what's your opinion?"

Gu Lian frowned, and said for a moment: "Since the lord left me alive today, he must know what I, Gu Lian, is asking for now. If I persuade the prince to issue an order to the lord to lead the army to suppress the traitors, No matter what happens in the future, the prince will definitely not leave hidden dangers."

Holding tea, Yang Su raised his eyebrows and said, "If my lord can get this decree, then the little king can protect my lord's life."

"What if I go back and persuade the prince to give up the position?"

"Your Excellency understands the righteousness now, and you can rest assured that you can lead your family to stay in the capital to live in peace. Xiao Wang promises that no one will embarrass you again."

Gu Lian pondered, nodded and said: "The prince is indeed very sincere. Then I wonder if the prince of the Water Transportation Department wants it?"

Yang Su raised his lips: "After your lord has persuaded the crown prince to give up the reserve position, even if I do nothing, the Water Transport Department will only fall into my hands."

"But if the prince has the Water Transportation Department in his hands right now, the prince of the territory on the north and south of the Yangtze River doesn't have to worry about it!"

Gu Lian's eyes were burning, "In a rich and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, the Fu family still has veterans like Tan Shao and other subordinates guarding the Nankangwei and other guards. There are many bandits in the south. If you hear about the uprising in the middle of the capital and move after hearing the wind, the prince will get the Water Transport Department at that time." , will only pick up a mess."

Yang Su frowned silently.

Gu Lian continued: "The Water Transport Division has [-] soldiers and horses, and almost monopolizes the north-south grain and silk trade. If the prince gets it, even if he takes advantage of it, Fu Rong will not be able to take advantage of it.

"The key is that the prince can use this to contain Jiangnan and gain precious time for victory. Is the prince really willing?"

This battle should be fast rather than slow, Fu Rong can't afford to delay a long war, and neither can Yang Su.Whoever can win the fastest speed will win to the end.

Yang Su held his cup and pondered, and then said: "I can let the Gu family retain their title and enjoy their salary. Before sunset, all the confidential files of the Water Transport Department must be brought to me."

"No. Apart from the title, I want the prince to promise me one thing."

Yang Su raised his eyebrows.

Gu Lian looked at him, and said firmly: "I want the prince, and the prince will be spared."

Yang Su's face gradually turned cold. "Master Gu, it's better to change to another one. I can't agree to this."

"I only have this one request, and I hope the prince will fulfill it."

The room fell silent.

Song Cheng, who was sitting alone drinking tea behind the curtain, frowned when he heard this.

"Then I don't want it."

Yang Su stood up. "Farewell first."

Hearing this, Song Cheng quickly put down the tea, and caught up with him under the gate of the courtyard: "Why don't you want it again?! What a great opportunity! Get the river course, which will save your nose when you come to power!
"Jiangnan is already in chaos. Could it be that the prince wants to get rid of Fu Rong just now, and then turn around and rush to send troops to the wild?!"

"That's true, but how could I not kill Yang Ji?! He released eight wolves back then to kill Changying!"

Yang Su gritted his teeth.

The moment Changying entered the cage, he swore a poisonous oath to himself, that he would make Yang Ji pay for his evil consequences in the future, how could he spare him just because of Gu Lian's words? !
"My lord is really smart and confused all my life!" Song Cheng looked around with his hands together, and then said in a low voice, "It's okay if you promise him, life, old age, sickness and death are the laws of heaven, who can guarantee that Yang Ji will live to the end of his life?

"You can't, I can't, and neither can Gu Lian!"
