Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 159

"This, this is, the key to the secret cabinet in the Tai Chi Palace?" Gu Qinghua raised his head, his eyes as bright as black jade sparkled with starlight, and his lips were sweet, with an unstoppable smile.

Gu Qinghua smiled brightly, and said: "Uncle Huang, why is this key in Uncle Huang's place? I was worrying about this, but it happened that Uncle Huang sent it here!" She lightly stroked the heavy key and touched it with her hand There was a moment of stagnation, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is this...made by Moyu?"

Prince Li was also very surprised, and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty already knows that there is a secret room in the Taiji Palace! Yes, the lock core of that lock is made of magnets, and keys made of ordinary materials will not work."

Gu Qinghua was determined, and glanced at Prince Li lightly: "It turns out that the person my mother trusts the most is Uncle Huang!"

Prince Li hurriedly bowed his head, and said in deep pain: "I am ashamed of the late emperor! The late emperor entrusted me with this key, and ordered me to keep it well. This key is delivered to His Majesty. At last, I have lived up to the late Emperor's order!"

Gu Qinghua nodded, looked at the key thoughtfully, suddenly closed the lid of the box gently, and asked Prince Li sadly: "I and the Queen Mother both know the loyalty of the Uncle Emperor. The Queen Mother--but Is there anything else to tell Uncle Huang?"

Prince Li's heart suddenly flashed, and he quickly lowered his eyes and said: "What's more, the late emperor asked the ministers to assist His Majesty well and take care of the responsibility of comforting the Gu clan. If there is a chance in the future, I will ask His Majesty to pardon the Gu clan, and gradually allow it." Participating in the imperial court with the blood of the Gu family——His Majesty has already done all of this, I am ashamed!"

In fact, Gu Fengqing's original words were not like this.

Prince Li clearly remembered that at that time, Gu Fengqing was so ill that only a handful of bones remained in his body, his pale face was so thin that there was no flesh at all, his cheekbones were scary high, and his two protruding cheekbones stood out. The big eyes are like two bottomless black holes.She leaned against the head of the bed, breathless, but her eyes were calm and deep, determined and unruffled.

With an unquestionable tone and confident confidence, she explained the funeral to him in an orderly and reasonable manner.She said that after her death, Mu Hongru would definitely do two things: one is to bring the young third princess back from Fan to inherit the throne so that she can control her, and the other is to find an opportunity to execute the deposed princess who was imprisoned in the cold palace.She taught him how to make false claims with him, how to quietly contact the second princess in southern Xinjiang, and when the time was right, she would cooperate with the second princess, take down Mu Hongru in one fell swoop, and enshrine the second princess on the throne.Then, give the key of the secret cabinet to the second princess.She said that as long as he does this, she will rest in peace under the Nine Springs, and after a hundred years, he will be able to meet his ancestors calmly...

At that time, he was terrified when he heard it, his heart was beating like thunder, and in the midst of his busy schedule, he still didn't forget to ask her, so what should the third princess do when the time comes?
Speaking of the youngest daughter who is far away in Fanguo, her cold eyes suddenly flashed with complexities that she couldn't explain and didn't want to say, she said wearily, let her go!
Let her go!Until now, he still hasn't figured out what she meant by her words?At that time, the deep tiredness in her tone made him dare not ask further questions.

It's not that he hasn't considered carrying out her will. After the third princess ascended the throne, he has been watching coldly, keeping his expression on the ground.Gradually, he felt more and more that she was not simple. From having nothing in the beginning, she gradually controlled the court little by little. Even Mu Hongru did not dare to put on airs in front of her as he did back then.

Sitting in this position, she is capable and courageous enough.

In front of the lamp and under the moonlight, he thought about all kinds of trade-offs, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to violate her will.Since the new emperor has the ability and skills to contend against Mu Hongru, and it will be a matter of time before he can deal with Mu Hongru, why should he bring the second princess into the mix and drag Xi Kingdom into unnecessary turmoil.Since she is a good emperor, there is no need to stir up disputes between the sisters and create another bloody storm.He thought, since she has a spirit in the sky, she must agree with him, right?Maybe she didn't expect at that time that this young girl who succeeded to the throne would have such skills!

Therefore, during the southern tour, he did not contact the second princess, and it was at that time that he made up his mind to help the new emperor.

Although he felt that his choice was the best policy for the country and the people, he did not intend to let Gu Qinghua know the inside story.This matter, he made up his mind to rot in his stomach and bring it into the coffin. Even his own son, he must not reveal a word!
Gu Qinghua smiled and said: "Since the key has been obtained, Uncle Huang is waiting here, I just want to see what is written in the secret agreement!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Li respectfully agreed, he glanced at Su Jun quietly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if it is inconvenient to disclose the content of this secret agreement, Your Majesty should not disclose it!"

Secret agreement, the value of money is only in the word "secret". If everyone in the street knows it, what's the secret?Prince Li was afraid that Gu Qinghua would be carried away by his emotions.

Gu Qinghua nodded with a smile, turned his head to Su Jun and said, "Su Fang Husband, why don't you play a game of chess with Uncle Huang, I will come whenever I go!"

"Okay!" Su Jun understood and responded with a smile.

After more than half an hour, Gu Qinghua returned to Zichen Palace, his face could not hide his excitement.Seeing her expression, Prince Li and Su Jun looked at her at the same time.

Gu Qinghua didn't mean to explain it, he just said that the secret agreement was really great, and it was true that Geshuguo stationed troops, so he might not dare to invade.Prince Li was relieved, and left after saying a few more words.

Gu Qinghua didn't tell Su Jun about the content of the secret agreement either. It's not that she doesn't believe him, but that the monarch of a country should act according to the principles that a monarch should have. What shouldn't be said must never be said!
No wonder, that secret treaty can restrain the Geshu country from daring to move. The secret treaty is written in the tone of the king of the Geshu country, and the tone is extremely humble. The state of Shu was given to the state of Xi. Below it, there is the autograph and signature of the first emperor of the state of Geshu, covered with the eye-catching big jade seal of the state of Geshu.

If this secret agreement to be a grandson is announced in Geshu's country, one can imagine how lively it will be!At that time, not only those small tribes that have already surrendered will ridicule, despise, disdain, and rebel, but also the people of Geshu Kingdom's relatives and nobles will inevitably scold the late emperor and the heir selected by the late emperor to the point of humiliation and embarrassment.Then, what face and prestige does Ge Shutian have to lead his subjects?He can't declare a clear line with his father, can he?And his father is dead, everyone is furious, if he doesn't blame him, who will he blame?

At that time, cousins ​​or clansmen will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and incite people's hearts...

Maybe, anything can happen.

Gu Qinghua immediately revised a letter and ordered Su Yan to send the letter to the northern border quickly, so that Su Yan could forward the letter to Ge Shutian. This matter can be put aside for the time being.

Gu Qinghua didn't tell Su Jun much about this matter.Confidentiality, secrets, and deterrence are like atomic bombs. They are placed there when they are not launched, and they are a huge threat to the enemy who is about to move. Once they are launched, the threat will disappear.Similarly, if the content of the secret agreement is scattered, even though Ge Shutian is ashamed and scolded, he can just tear his face apart!
The less one person knows, the more protection.

At this time, what Gu Qinghua wanted to tell Su Jun was another matter.

"Su Jun, do you know that there is nothing else in the secret cabinet besides the secret treaty signed by the three countries?" Her eyes were dazzlingly bright, and she looked at Su Jun with a smile.

Su Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "So, there are still many good things left by the late emperor?"

Gu Qinghua nodded, brimming with uncontrollable joy, clenched her hands into fists subconsciously, bit her lips, and said sincerely: "Empress is Empress after all, I am far behind her! For me, everything she left behind will be of great use to me!"

As Gu Qinghua said, he took out two pieces of paper from his bosom, spread out one of them and placed it on the imperial case, caressed it flatly, pointed to Su Jun and said, "Look at this map."

Su Jun looked over, and the map showed the high mountains in the south-central west of Xiguo, and the valleys, ravines and rivers were clearly marked.Gu Qinghua's slender fingers slid across the slightly yellowed map: "Here is a large pasture. The secret letter left by the Queen Mother said that this pasture was secretly arranged by her many years ago. Tens of thousands of animals were raised in the pasture. She also left a token and detailed instructions on how to connect with the ranch. After so many years, I estimate that there may be more than [-] horses in the ranch, Su Jun, do you think this is good news?"

Su Jun was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help saying: "Qing'er, with this group of fine horses, it will surely be like a tiger with wings."

Gu Qinghua smiled sweetly, moved another map, and pointed to it: "Look, there is this one. This is the place where weapons are buried. You can see the exact amount!" Gu Qinghua said, from the sleeve He took out a booklet and handed it to Su Jun.

Su Jun flipped through the pamphlet, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help sighing: "The late emperor is indeed wise! I never expected, I really didn't expect that the late emperor would make so many arrangements without making a sound, alas! If the late emperor hadn't been poisoned , may not be able to clean up Mu Hongru himself!"

"Poisoned?" Gu Qinghua's eyes flashed sharply, and he said in a daze, "How do you know that the late emperor was poisoned? Could it be that the late emperor was poisoned to death by old thief Mu?" Gu Qinghua's heart tightened.Gu Fengqing died of illness in her prime, how weird it looks!
Su Jun regretted his slip of the tongue, and hurriedly said: "I, I am also guessing. After all, Mu Hongru had a chance to do it in the early years." The hatred of killing his mother is irreconcilable. At this time, he still does not want to tell her about the night visit to the palace. , for fear that she would not be able to help showing emotion to Mu Hongru when she learned about it.

Gu Qinghua was disappointed for a while, thought about it in a daze, and sighed: "I have been suspicious about this matter, but I can't see anything wrong from the late emperor's case files and daily life records! If," she mused, "If this is true, old thief Mu can't stay anymore!"
