The Marquis of Pingyang was very considerate.
He looked tense and said, "It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't!"
Li Qiao frowned.
Some were surprised by his father's sudden decision.
The Marquis of Pingyang said: "In the current situation, if anyone helps, it is contempt for the laws of Huyi! It is also an open confrontation with the king."
"However, we have been friends with the Gong family for decades, do you really want to let go of it at this critical moment?"
"I've already said it, but I can't control it." "I just don't understand, why the king refused to let go? This morning, Prime Minister Gong Zuo knelt in the hall, and would rather use his own life to save Shilin. Anyway, Prime Minister Gong Zuo He is also an important official. Over the years, there has been no credit, but also hard work! Besides, as a general of the northern expedition, he made a sweat for Hu Yi.
Ma's meritorious deeds, and now he just wanted to save Shilin's life, but the king took out the law and almost accused him of a crime, which made the child confused. "Li Qiao thought for a while, but couldn't find the reason.
I really can't figure out why the king is so heartless
Even if he said "reconsider", Prime Minister Gong Zuo would not vomit blood and fall into a coma above the hall.
And all of them, the Marquis of Pingyang has seen through.
He said solemnly: "You have been guarding by the king's side for so many years, and you can't even see the mystery."
"Which is the mystery?" "Now in the court, the power of the third prince and the second prince is divided, but since this period of time, the second prince has suffered setbacks one after another! The power has been affected, and the third prince clearly has the upper hand! Although I and Gong Zuo are clear There is no standing line on the face, but the king is like a mirror in his heart, and with the king's temperament, he likes to control everything in his hands. If the power of the three kings continues to soar, do you think the king will have no defense in his heart? Young lion Once it grows, it cannot be controlled, and the final result is to occupy the entire forest! Then the king wants to control him, the only way is,
It is to suppress those who support the three kings, so it is precisely through the matter of Gong Shilin to set back the spirit of Minister Gong Zuo, so that the forces of the two sides can be balanced! "
Li Qiao suddenly realized: "So it is."
The Marquis of Pingyang said again: "So, whoever dares to speak out now is like digging his own grave."
"But... Anyway, Shilin was captured by Ah Cheng in the end. In the future, Minister Gong Zuo will definitely turn against us, and there will be another enemy above the court! Dad..."
Marquis Pingyang patted Li Qiao's arm and said, "I would rather have one more enemy than send myself into a fire pit!"
"father!"
"Forget it, just explain the matter at home, don't go outside and say it, now, I have one more thing to do!"
Li Qiao: "What's the matter?"
"Go to the Three Kings Mansion."
"Three Princes' Mansion?" The Marquis of Pingyang said with a serious expression, "Now, it is the time when the king wants to control the power of the third prince, but if the third prince desperately wants to protect Shilin, do you think the second prince will pass up this opportunity? The second prince will definitely seize the opportunity to bring down the third prince.
When the Lord prevails, the people who suffer in the end are us! As such, it's not worth the loss. "
"Dad went to the third prince to persuade him not to interfere in this matter?"
"You don't need to worry about this. You should hurry into the palace and guard by the king's side. If anything happens, send someone to notify me in time."
Li Qiao: "Yes."
The Marquis of Pingyang changed his clothes, left the mansion, and took the sedan chair all the way to the Three Kings Mansion.
When he returned to the mansion from prison last night, Tuo was so anxious!
He has been waiting for Minister Gong Zuo to ask the king to pardon Gong Shilin for the death penalty.
How could I know that the news I got this morning turned out to be that Prime Minister Gong Zuo vomited blood and fainted in the hall.
And the king kept his mouth shut and did not mention the matter of pardon, and also took out the law of Hu Yi to block the mouth of Gong Zuoxiang.
Now, it is obvious that Gong Shilin is going to be sentenced to death!
That's great
No matter what, Natuo will not let him do anything.
When he was frowning, the servant in the house came to report: "My lord, the Marquis of Pingyang is asking to see you."
When he mentioned this person, Natuo's eyebrows suddenly came together.
Still have a face
If it wasn't for his son Li Cheng doing such things, how could Gong Shilin be arrested
Na Tuo waved his sleeves: "Call him in."
is called!
Not please.
The Marquis of Pingyang came hurriedly, entered the room and bowed: "Your Highness."
Na Tuo gave him a stern look: "Master Hou, you really taught a good son."
"This matter is indeed the dog's carelessness."
"Effective? What's more? You all know that Gong Shilin is the son of Minister Gong Zuo and is also a friend of this king. Haven't you considered these things before doing business?"
Ask out loud.
But the Marquis of Pingyang was very calm: "The matter has already happened. For now, the only way to solve it is to find a solution."
"Solution? How to solve it? It's useless to ask the father and king to ask Gongzuo, what else can we do now? This king wanted to lead someone into the prison and take Shilin away, but he refused! What do you think? , what else can I do?" Natuo blushed with excitement.
Even though it was winter, he felt like a stove.
It's too hot!
In view of the situation in front of him, the Marquis of Pingyang must remain calm.
It can't be messy.
He said: "The solution is not nothing, but... not how to save Gong Shilin, but... "
Na Tuo's face sank, and he asked, "But what?"
Pingyang Hou Ning looked at his suspicious gaze and said seriously, "How to protect yourself!"
Self-defense
What is this scenario
Na Tuo had a question mark in his heart: "What does saving Shilin have to do with self-preservation?"
"People... can't be saved." Marquis Pingyang said directly.
"Can't be saved? What do you mean? What do you mean by not being able to be saved? Marquis Pingyang, what kind of medicine did you sell in your gourd? Tell this king at one time."
Anxious.
Therefore, the Marquis of Pingyang explained the stakes of this incident and the reasons why the king did not agree to the pardon one by one.
All in all, one sentence.
"The king intends to use this to suppress Minister Gong Zuo. In other words, it is to control the power of the prince, so the prince must not interfere!"
Takuya understood it!
He took two steps back and fell on the chair, holding the handle of the chair with both hands, with an unbelievable expression on his face.
"No! This king can't just watch Shilin watch, absolutely not!"
The voice trembled slightly.
The Marquis of Pingyang tried his best to persuade him, "Could it be that the lord really wants to block his position as the crown prince for a Gong Shilin... risk?"
Uh!
Nato was startled!
Before, Gong Shilin asked him, and his answer was that he chose brotherhood.
But now, when the Marquis of Pingyang asked this time, he hesitated!
The position of the prince is something he has been fighting for since he was born. Now he has given up a great future for one person. He has asked himself countless times, is it really worth it
Is it really worth it
He was silent for a long time - raised his eyes and asked, "Then what did you mean by solving..."
