Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan were shackled and pushed into the imperial study by the two inner guards from outside the door. They knelt on the ground. Because their heads were bowed, no one could see what the two brothers looked like at the moment.
Xianzong looked at the Gu brothers and snorted coldly.
Gu Dashao's forehead touched the ground, and he said to Xianzong in a choked voice: "Your Highness, sinners deserve ten thousand deaths."
Gu Ershao didn't speak, knowing that he was acting, but now that he was on the scene, Gu Ershao felt uncomfortable.
Xianzong still scolded, and his emotions were also excited, but a careful minister could feel that this scolding from the sage was much gentler than the loud scolding just now.
The brothers of the Gu family knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and said nothing, as if they were concentrating on waiting for death, when they heard Xianzong say that they were forgiven their death penalty and let them make meritorious deeds. Knocked to the ground, choked and speechless.
A large inner guard stepped forward to remove the shackles for the Gu brothers.
Xianzong tossed his robe sleeves and said: "The situation in the city, the Ministry of Households will give me a document as soon as possible, and they should all retire."
After the ministers gave a big ceremony, they withdrew, and no one dared to ask Xianzong at this time, is Gu Xingnuo still the prime minister
The brothers of the Gu family also left the imperial study room. It was obvious that a group of people went out, but within three steps of the two, there was no one else.
Ying Nianyun left the imperial study and was about to approach the brothers of the Gu family, but Young Master Gu shook his head at the uncle and bowed his hands.
The British scholar stopped.
Gu Ershao learned from his eldest brother, and also bowed to Ying Nianyun. He was in a very bad mood at the moment. In the eyes of others, this expression was helpless and humiliating.
Master Yingda sighed and turned to leave.
The rest of the ministers who wanted to talk to the Gu brothers had to leave without saying a word when they saw this.
"The Imperial Physician, the Imperial Physician Xuan!"
Before the ministers left the front courtyard gate, the eunuch's shout came from the imperial study. All the ministers panicked again. Is this the first time Xianzong has urgently announced the imperial physician today
Not long after, a little eunuch ran out of the imperial study, ran straight to the commander of the guards on duty, and whispered a few words.
The commander bowed to the imperial study, and then rushed to the ministers who were staying in the courtyard: "The Holy Master ordered you to leave as soon as possible, perform your duties, and do not lose the favor of the emperor!"
The ministers hurriedly knelt down to deliver the decree and exited the front courtyard door of the imperial study.
The minister who left last stood at the gate of the hospital and turned around. He saw several imperial physicians hurriedly running from the side hall to the imperial study. The eunuch who led the way kept urging these imperial physicians to hurry up.
Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan followed the ministers out of the front courtyard gate. The brothers walked slower and slower, and finally reached the end. They stopped at an intersection and parted ways with the ministers.
"Where are you going?" Gu Ershao tugged at his collar and asked his eldest brother irritably.
Gu Dashao's face rarely lost the smile, he gave Gu Ershao a stern look, and said, "What are you doing?"
Gu Xingyan was stared at by Gu Xingnuo and stood up straight.
"Can you be more difficult than Xinglang?" Young Master Gu asked.
Gu Xingyan drooped the corners of his mouth and shook his head.
"Follow me to see the sage," Gu Dashao said, "put away your temper, you are in front of the two armies now, and you can't tolerate your emotions."
"Understood," Gu Ershao answered honestly.
Xianzong lay on the dragon couch in the inner hall again, with a wet towel covering his forehead. When the Gu brothers followed the dark guard in, the imperial physicians had already retreated.
"There's no need to salute," said Xianzong, who was about to kneel down and salute the Gu family's brother: "Speak up."
Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan stood in front of Xianzong's bed.
Xianzong helped the wet wipes on his forehead and whispered: "Gu Xiaoer will go back to his hometown immediately, Yanruo, write a letter in your own hand and ask Gu Chen to rush back to Fengjing as soon as possible."
Gu Ershao gave the order here, and Gu Dashao said to Xianzong here: "Sir, the grandfather of this minister is already on his way back to Fengjing."
"Trust him to speed up his journey," said Xianzong, "After I left the capital, His Highness the Seventh will be placed in his army and taken care of by him."
Gu Dashao's eyes sank, and he said, "This minister follows the decree."
Jiang's father and son led the troops to be stationed in Fengjing, while Yu Ziyi was in Gu Chen's army. This was undoubtedly a check and balance method of Xianzong. The same is true for the family, but these two families are all the help of Yuzi Yichenghuang, so the power is in your hands, the people are in my hands, there is no possibility of fighting against each other, but beware of each other, this is the most important thing for the emperor Xianzong. hope to see the situation.
"Gu Xiaoer," Xianzong said to Gu Ershao again: "After you return to Xiangguan, it's almost time to order all believers to go to Yongsheng Temple to protect Buddha, but anyone who wants to go to Yongsheng Temple through Xiangguan will be killed. ."
Gu Ershao said: "Sacred Lord, there are many caravans in Xiangguan. I'm afraid that there will be too many people going out of the customs at that time, and it will be difficult for the minister to distinguish."
"Then retreat," said Xianzong: "If you let one believer go out, you will add another opponent to our army. Gu Xiaoer, do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Xingyan's expression froze, he bowed and said, "This minister follows the order."
"Don't ask men and women, don't ask young and old," Xianzong looked at Gu Ershao and said: "If you have a vain attempt to break through the gate, and you don't go before the gathering, kill them."
"The minister obeys the order," Gu Xingyan said again.
Xianzong is very fortunate that the two brothers in the Gu family are accustomed to killing and killing ruthless people. If a civil servant is in front of him at this moment, his own decree may be scolded for being tyrannical and inhumane again.
At this time, Gu Xingnuo said to Gu Ershao: "I am afraid there are believers in the army. If these people want to break through the barrier, you can stop them. If you let them break through the barrier, don't chase them, just let them follow them. Buddha."
Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "I can hold the gate."
"You can't provoke mutiny in the army," Gu Dashao said coldly: "Forcibly keep these people in the army, when the two armies really confront each other, are you not afraid of being stabbed in the back by these people?"
Gu Ershao was silenced by Gu Dashao.
Xianzong sighed heavily and said: "Well, when Gu Xiaoer was about to arrive at Xiangguan, he ordered someone to go to Guanzhong to spread the news, saying that we were going to fight to the death with Yongsheng Temple, and the gang in the army wanted to follow Mo Wen. people, let them go."
Gu Ershao said, "Your Majesty, do you stop the people but not the soldiers?" The soldiers can fight, but even if the people go to Yongsheng Temple, their fighting power is not enough to fear. How can they stop the people but not the soldiers
Xianzong looked after Gu Xingnuo.
Gu Dashao immediately said: "The army needs to be cleaned up, but killing soldiers in the army will inevitably damage morale. As for the people, stopping them is for their own good, not to let them die, and to frighten those who came later. Common people, soldiers and common people, these two are different, Xingyan, do you understand?"
Gu Xingyan glanced at his hands, which were about to be stained with blood again, "Your Majesty, I will not disgrace the emperor's life," Gu Ershao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xianzong to assure.
