Gu Xingnuo entered the imperial study, and respectfully gave Xianzong the rites of monarch and minister.
Xianzong ordered the eunuch to bring a round stool to Gu Xingnuo and asked Gu Xingnuo to sit down and talk. After watching Gu Xingnuo sit down, Xianzong asked, "Tell me, what happened to you in Yongsheng Temple back then? ?"
Gu Xingnuo wanted to get up and answer.
"Just sit and talk," said Xianzong, "I and you are the only ones here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Gu Xingnuo smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I just went to Yongsheng Temple to practice martial arts."
"I know this," said Xianzong, "Don't ask the master that he wanted to accept you as his apprentice?"
Gu Xingnuo knew that Xianzong had to ask him this, so he slipped from the round stool and knelt down to the ground, Gu Dashao knelt on the ground and pleaded with Xianzong: "This minister didn't report this to the sage, this minister deserves to die."
Xianzong is actually very glad that Gu Xingnuo did not become the young master of Yongsheng Temple, otherwise he would not be able to accommodate the big Buddha of the Gu family in this small country of Fengtian. "Well," Xianzong said to Gu Xingnuo, "It's a shame that you didn't become the young master of Yongsheng Temple. If you don't tell me, I understand, I forgive you, and you speak up."
The corner of Gu Xingnuo's mouth twitched, what is there to be ashamed of
Xianzong picked up the teacup of the imperial book case and took another sip of water, and said, "I remember that Wen Fenglin had already entered the temple when you were in Yongsheng Temple? Is it related to Wen Fenglin?" Xianzong wants to make up his mind now, and Wuhuan can hate Wen Fenglin so much that he is not afraid of death and rushed to Fengtian to kill this junior brother. Thinking that Wuhuan was the young master of Yongsheng Temple back then, then Gu Xingnuo was in those days. If you don't take it as Mo Wen's apprentice, there's no such thing as Wen Fenglin's little girl
Gu Xingnuo denied it flatly, "Your Highness, a minister had limited talents back then, so he was not able to worship under the seat of Master Mo Wen. Besides, this minister felt that the minister was born in a general family, fought on the battlefield, and served the saint is what the minister is willing to do."
"But… "
"Sir, my father passed away early. I knelt in front of my father's spirit for a moment. I am very glad that I did not become a member of Yongsheng Temple," Gu Xingnuo looked up at Xianzong when he said this. His eyes were slightly red, and he said, "At that time, my grandfather was very old, and the two younger brothers were still young. It is better to have a minister at home than no minister at home."
The expression between Xianzong's eyebrows moved slightly.
Gu Xingnuo took a deep breath and said, "Now in the minister's family, the grandfather, grandmother, and mother are all in good health, and the two younger brothers have grown up and started a family.
When Gu Dashao said this, he was very emotional, and he could not see the slightest regret or loss, which made Xianzong believe that his minister was not acting with him.
"It's good if you don't regret it," Xianzong nodded at Gu Xingnuo, sounding like he was approving: "The men of your Gu family are all soldiers and horses all their lives, you are the heir of the Gu family, and inheriting the family business is your foundation. share."
"Yes," Gu Xingnuo bowed and said, "I keep in mind the teachings of the sage." At the same time, Young Master Gu rolled his eyes at Xianzong and put their Gu family in prison, why did the sage not think about their care of the family? Man, is it all for the life of Fengtian's army and horses
Xianzong couldn't see Gu Dashao rolling his eyes at him in his heart. No matter how low his IQ was, Xianzong could hear it now. Noah looked at it differently. Chong Mowen shook his head and said no, the eldest grandson of old man Gu looked at his smiling appearance, but he turned out to be a fierce man. Thinking about the bravery of his daughter, Xianzong thought with awe, it's not that the whole family does not enter the house.
Gu Xingnuo finished expressing his feelings with Xianzong, and lowered his head, waiting for Xianzong to show it.
"You send Zhao Qiuming's daughter to Huguo Temple," said Xianzong, "talk to Master Mo Wen."
Gu Xingnuo said, "Then Zhao Xiang's daughter?"
Xianzong waved his hand and said, "Let the master handle it."
"Then Zhao Xiang?"
"It's also up to the master," said Xianzong, "the master doesn't think that Zhao Qiuming is the murderer of Wen Fenglin. What's going on, you can ask the master."
Gu Xingnuo respectfully replied yes.
Xianzong said: "You go."
Gu Xingnuo stood still and said, "Your Majesty, since Miss Zhao San is the murderer of Young Master Fenglin Xing, I think it is better for Your Majesty to see this Miss Zhao San, which also shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. ."
Xianzong nodded and said, "That's right."
"When the minister went to the Shen Punishment Division, the father-in-law in charge said that the concubine Hua was in the dungeon," Gu Xingnuo said again.
Xianzong said, "What are you going to do at the Department of Penalties?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "I heard from the forbidden army who was crushed by the tree, that the Chief Jingda may know about the flying tree hurting people. Since the sage has ordered the Prime Minister to do this, the minister wants to go to the Department of Shen Punishment to see the Chief Jing. ."
This reason is reasonable and reasonable. Xianzong doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, but why did Concubine Hua go to the Department of Penalties? "Someone," Xianzong said loudly to the door of the imperial study.
A eunuch rushed in at a trot.
"Go and bring Zhao Qiuming's third daughter," said Xianzong.
The eunuch led the order to retreat.
Concubine Hua thought that Young Master Gu dared not take care of the concubine in the harem? The concubine Hua is too young to take care of the young master.
After a while, the two eunuchs carried Zhao Yingqin, who was unconscious, to the door of the imperial study.
"Bring it in," Xianzong said after hearing the report, sitting behind the Yushu desk.
A steward eunuch stepped forward to look at Miss Zhao San, stunned, turned around and rushed into the imperial study: "Your Majesty, this female prisoner's body is injured, and the servant is afraid that she will stain the place."
Xianzong stood up suddenly, Mo Wen asked the person who wanted to be injured in his hand? Xianzong walked out of the imperial study quickly.
Gu Xingnuo followed behind Xianzong, looking a little nervous.
Xianzong walked out of the imperial study, glanced at Zhao Yingqin with disheveled hair being supported by two eunuchs, and ordered left and right: "Put her hair off."
The steward eunuch stepped forward and reached out his hand to remove the long hair covering Miss Zhao San's face.
The skin was completely destroyed, and a face with red flesh and charred black appeared in front of Xianzong. Without psychological preparation, Xianzong leaned back.
Gu Xingnuo hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Xianzong, and asked with concern, "Your Highness?"
Xianzong closed his eyes, the smell of blood made it difficult for Xianzong to breathe.
"What's going on?" Gu Xingnuo asked the two eunuchs who were going to pick up people.
The two eunuchs couldn't kneel while holding Zhao Yingqin, so they could only lower their heads and tell Xianzong that when they went to see Zhao Yingqin in the prison, Miss Zhao San was already like this.
Xianzong shook off Gu Xingnuo's hand that was holding him. After a bit of confusion, Xianzong asked Gu Xingnuo, "You said that Concubine Hua has been to the Department of Penalties?"
Gu Xingnuo whispered, "Yes."
"Concubine Hua," Xianzong read.
Gu Xingnuo spoke for Concubine Hua: "Your Highness, Concubine Hua is kind, and it is said that she and Concubine Zhao are like sisters. The person who hurts Zhao's family will definitely not be Concubine Hua."
