That is…
Seeing this bright yellow moment, Xiao Che's whole scalp exploded, and his pupils immediately shrank. For a moment, he even ignored the meaning of Gu Juefei's words.
Dangerous and bright light shot out from his eyes, walked down directly from above, and snatched this imperial decree from Gu Juefei's hands!
The old imperial edict has been around for some years.
But because the preservation is hidden, it is very intact, and there is no damage to the corners. And the words written on the imperial decree, the year number that falls, and the seal on it, are all familiar to Xiao Che!
Legacy!
It turned out to be the edict left by the late emperor before his death!
It is clearly written on it: Name the seventh prince "Xun", set up as the heir, and ascend the throne after the emperor's great journey!
OK!
There really is such a decree!
The cunning and cunning Gu Chengqian even dared to say in a high-sounding manner that when he sent people to the Grand Master's Mansion, it was a serious crime to deceive the emperor!
Xiao Che's breathing became rapid, and his chest kept heaving and undulating. There was a kind of nervousness like being strangled by someone's throat, and a kind of happiness and excitement that the imperial decree finally fell into his hands!
Since ancient times, when the emperor succeeded to the throne, it was necessary to talk about a "justifiable name".
The "Xiao Tingzhi" who was supported by Xue Kuang, I am afraid that he had never even seen the appearance of this imperial decree, and never knew the content of this imperial decree, so he always used the name "Tingzhi".
In this way, even God is helping him!
Sixteen or seventeen years have passed since the palace change that year. The five-year-old child has grown up to twenty-one years, and the change in appearance can be called earth-shaking!
The old officials in the DPRK died and retreated, who could tell his identity
As long as this imperial decree is in his hands, then this Xiao Tingzhi and this Xue Kuang will always have a bad name and a bad word!
Xiao Che's heart suddenly burst into a fiery heat.
It's like someone who was in a desperate situation, suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, and changed from full of despair to full of hope in an instant.
He couldn't even control his emotions and laughed wildly.
From beginning to end, Gu Juefei stood close by, watching without sadness or joy.
The other party, Xiao Che, suddenly robbed the widow, but he did not stop him in the slightest; facing his wanton laughter at the moment, he did not have the slightest emotion.
On the other hand, after Xiao Che finished laughing, he finally remembered him, and almost at the same time he remembered his two extremely unusual questions.
Holding the widow, the dark light in his eyes flickered.
In this flash of thought, countless thoughts came to mind. Sitting on the throne of this emperor for many years, how can there be no calculations
The face change is only in an instant!
The moment he closed the edict with one hand, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Juefei, his eyes were full of coldness, but he shouted without hesitation: "Come here, Master Gu has committed troubles and is suspected of colluding with the anti-thief Xue Kuang. Guards left and right, take them down quickly!"
The eunuchs serving in the hall were startled.
They have been standing in this hall all the time, obviously they still don't understand why the emperor suddenly said such words when they were fine just now.
For a time, I was startled and froze in place!
The guards who were guarding outside the Taiji Hall heard the voice and all rushed towards the hall.
In just a moment, it was full of swords, lights, swords and shadows!
Fang Shao walked among the heavily armored guards, dressed in dark silver armor, with extraordinary might, strode in, stood on his sword, and answered loudly: "Fang Shaoxing, the last general, escort him by edict!"
Gu Juefei stood with folded arms, motionless.
At this time, Xiao Che hadn't noticed anything wrong, his eyes were full of inflated desire, and he was proud to finally have everything under control!
He has never really valued Juefei, especially over the past few years, the other party has exhausted all means to force him to add an official or nobility to him, over the past three and a half years, and has almost touched Xiao Che's bottom line!
At such a young age, he has been able to control the government and the opposition, so what kind of status will be able to satisfy his ambitions in the future
Today, he didn't want to directly touch Gu Juefei, he brought it to the door himself, and he also sent this edict with his own hands.
How could he not move him
This is where Gu Taishi died first, and then he saw the widow with his own eyes!
Weeds need to be rooted out!
Anyone who threatens his throne will never be tolerated!
Xiao Che stared closely at Gu Juefei, barely glanced at Fang Shaoxing, who came in. With a wave of his sleeve, he stretched out his hand sternly: "Quick! Take down the traitor!!!"
Gu Juefei stood in the center of the Golden Palace, and was pointed at by Xiao Che, but there was more pity in his eyes.
The guards left and right didn't move, and Fang Shaoxing didn't move either.
Xiao Che finally realized what was wrong, his whole body shivered with cold, his hand trembled, and he turned to Fang Shaoxing: "Master Fang, what are you still standing there for? Take it down quickly?!"
"Rebel?"
Fang Shaoxing raised his brows slightly, and the old scar under the corner of his eye suddenly revealed an evil spirit. He only looked at Gu Juefei, then turned to look at Xiao Che, and laughed.
"Your Majesty, Master Gu is dedicated to serving the country and the people. Where is there a rebel here? Why didn't the minister see it? You and Master Gu, don't have any misunderstandings? Well said..."
"you you… "
If you can't detect Fang Shaoxing's ghost now, Xiao Che is a complete fool! He glanced over, and those guards all had swords and swords in their bodies, but they were extremely prudent. Although some had doubts on their faces, the other party seldom acted and obeyed!
If Fang Shaoxing didn't say a word, they wouldn't move!
Come prepared.
Gu Juefei came prepared today!
After thinking about this clearly, Xiao Che was overwhelmed with anger. His bloodshot eyes were filled with rage because he had not rested for many days!
"Gu Juefei, what do you want to do?!"
All the palace servants and eunuchs in the hall were shocked by this scene. Even in the past few days, Xue Kuang was about to be attacked by soldiers, and they had never seen such a scene of tension.
No one dared to move.
Some timid ones have already fought two battles, and they can't stand still.
Gu Juefei was obviously the calmest one in the field.
He didn't show any surprise to Fang Shaoxing and the guards who came in together, and Fang Cai's seemingly foolish words, as if he had expected all this.
In the face of Xiao Che's questioning, he just took a step forward like a stroll in the courtyard, his clear voice was not heavy, but echoed in the entire hall for a long time: "I came today to talk to you, the emperor. "
Fang Shaoxing glanced at him in surprise when he heard the words.
Xiao Che originally felt that everything was not good, but at this moment, a little hope suddenly popped up in his heart, forcing himself to calm down the overly flustered gaffe on his face.
He spoke coldly, first defending himself: "I know that you are dissatisfied with me because of the death of the old lady, and you blame me for the death of the old lady. What good is it?! When he dies and falls into the mouths of those conspiring against the party, he commits suicide in fear of sin! I prayed for the old lady to live a hundred years before it was too late, so I would harm him like this? I just suspected that there were things that I didn't know about back then, so I sent someone to inquire, and there was absolutely no suspicion of persecution!"
"yes?"
Gu Juefei laughed lowly, turned his head, did not look at Xiao Che, but glanced at the guards who were almost surrounded by Taiji Hall, and finally looked at Fang Shaoxing.
He walked over, actually took the sword in Fang Shaoxing's hand, grabbed the hilt, and pulled the sword three inches out of its sheath!
"Zheng!"
Three inches of cold light like snow!
A pair of indifferent and cold eyes are reflected on the smooth and bright blade surface like a mirror.
Gu Juefei asked without looking back: "Then, your Majesty, did you know that on the night the person you sent left, my father stabbed himself with his sword? It's just such a sword, very bright and stained with blood..."
"Bangdang..."
The moment he saw Gu Juefei draw his sword, Xiao Che sensed a bit of danger and took a step back in fear, but accidentally bumped into something on the imperial case behind him, and immediately fell down a pile.
He panicked in his heart, and scolded him sternly: "I am a golden mouth, how could I deceive you?! I just sent someone to inquire about the events of the past, who would have thought that he would be so intimidating! People would commit suicide when they left. This matter has nothing to do with me at all! Could it be that you, Gu Jue, have to commit acts of chaos and monarchy because of your own personal hatred that has no evidence at all?!"
"Committed to making trouble, murdering the king?"
Holding the half-drawn sword and scabbard, Gu Juefei walked around and turned around. His voice was a bit of sarcasm. While speaking, he had already stepped on the steps, approaching step by step.
"You still remember that you were 'shang' and 'jun', but do you still remember how you ascended to the throne in the first place? "
"Don't come here!"
The feeling of depression that is approaching step by step can almost drive a normal person crazy!
Xiao Che was almost overwhelmed by a kind of despair, he supported the imperial case, kept retreating, and at the same time shouted in all directions like crazy: "Guard! Quickly escort! Who killed this scoundrel and thief for me? Just make him a general, with a bounty of a thousand taels and ten thousand households! Escort, escort—"
There was only his hoarse and frantic voice in the whole hall.
There were countless guards standing inside and out, and everyone heard his voice clearly, but no one stepped forward.
Fang Shaoxing didn't even move, he just watched coldly.
The magnificent hall is solemn and solemn.
On the pillars on all sides, on the painting on the top of the head, and even on the imperial case at the end of the steps, there are golden dragons competing for the status of the royal family.
Gu Juefei's all-white appearance looks abrupt and abrupt here.
Even in the palace change that year, Xiao Che had never experienced such a crisis, and when he was isolated and helpless, he felt that although the Golden Palace was large, there was nowhere to hide!
He is desperate and angry!
He hysterically shouted at Gu Juefei: "I am the emperor, the monarch of a country, the lord of all people! You are only a minister, how dare you betray me, how dare you attack me?!"
"You? What are you!"
What came out of Gu Juefei's throat was an unprecedented sneer, and when he laughed, the sword was completely unsheathed! A pair of deep eyes, is undisguised contempt, and hatred!
"If it weren't for the fact that the previous emperor had chosen me to accompany you in order to balance the power among the princes back then, with your mediocrity and incompetence, would you be worthy of being an emperor?!"
Back then, the Gu and Wei families fought openly and secretly.
Gu Chengqian did not dare to let the seventh prince from the first empress, Wei Qiang, inherit the throne anyway, and when Princess Yongning secretly planned to instigate the fourth prince to initiate a palace change, this was the plan.
Even though Wei Bingqian had all kinds of sadness and unwillingness, he could only watch his sister be forced to commit suicide!
The heirs to the throne were suddenly left with only two people.
One is Xiao Qi, the fourth prince from the Imperial Concubine of Germany, and the other is Xiao Che, the third prince who is backed by Princess Yongning.
But in the end, the old lady chose Xiao Che.
For the two main ministers, in fact, there is no difference in choosing one of the two. Because any of the remaining princes have nothing to do with the two of them.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, it was still the two families of Gu and Wei who fought against each other.
At that time, Xiao Che was really inconspicuous to the extreme. If he was really capable of ingenuity and strategy, he wouldn't even be able to keep up with half of Xiao Qi!
Why did Gu Chengqian choose him
One is his mediocrity, and the other is because Gu Juefei spent some time in the palace reading in his early years, so it can be regarded as a good friendship with Xiao Che.
Everyone has selfishness, and the old lady is no exception.
He not only has to choose a suitable emperor, but also to pave the way for the Gu family, so that the future family of the Gu family can go more smoothly.
Otherwise, who to choose is not the same
It can be said that it was Gu Chengqian, an old, important and powerful minister, who single-handedly put Xiao Che up to the current throne, and was even Xiao Che's husband!
"A teacher for one day, a father for life! He taught you the etiquette of poetry and calligraphy, the way of being a king, helped you to ascend to the throne, and even in order to protect you, he was shot by arrows in the chaos, and fell behind for 16 years. Sickness! That's how you treat him, you want to force him to die!!!"
Everything that was suppressed in his chest burned up.
It seems to have turned into a fiery magma, surging between Gu Juefei's limbs and bones, causing his voice to tremble and his hands to tremble, but there is no temperature on his body!
He is cold.
It's like when I saw this imperial decree last night, like when I pushed open the door of the study that night, like when I walked out of the Taishi's mansion covered in white at dawn today!
A cavity is cold, a cavity is cold!
He carried the cyan steel long sword upside down and walked towards Xiao Che.
The sharp sword tip pulled on the gold embroidered pattern on the steps, making a long and harsh sound, and dragging out a long, trembling scratch...
However, Xiao Che wanted to dodge, and after bypassing the imperial case, he wanted to dodge!
But at such a moment, he was in a panic, but Gu Juefei was always cold and calm, and he caught up with the moment he bypassed the imperial case!
"boom!"
It was suddenly heavy and kicked Xiao Che to the ground with one kick!
Although he was born as a civil servant, he traveled all over the world and practiced a strong physique. He has never been perfunctory in the art of archery. There are many emperors who have been pampered for many years in front of him.
Where can Xiao Che escape
I was caught off guard, not only fell to the ground, but also rolled down the stairs a few steps!
The head slammed on the protruding edge in front of the steps with a thud, and the Twelve Officials' face, which had been slanted a little because of panic and avoidance, fell down.
The king of a country, his hair is disheveled.
He groped with both hands on the ground, rolled and crawled on the ground, and was scared by Gu Juefei, and shouted hoarsely: "No, no, the old lady committed suicide! You can't kill me, you can't—"
Gu Juefei didn't hear it at all.
His icy expression didn't even change at all, he just walked down and stomped on Xiao Che, who had already climbed up halfway, like stepping on a trivial ant!
At this moment, even Fang Shaoxing couldn't help his face change!
But Gu Juefei couldn't see it.
He just obeyed the devil that suddenly rushed out of his heart, let the wave-like cold blood wrap him, and then raised the heavy sword high!
"Pfft-"
The hot blood splattered instantly, strewn all over the steps, and also splattered on his white robe and cold cheeks.
"Gudong..."
The most noble head in the world rolled down the blood-stained steps, stunned the palace servants in the hall, and stopped at Fang Shaoxing's feet.
The blood-stained face turned over, and a pair of frightened and unwilling eyes stared at the heights.
Gu Juefei only lowered his head to look at the body that had no head but was still wearing a yellow robe. The pale face was splattered with blood, and the bottom of his calm eyes was bone-chilling and icy madness.
"It's the other way around, who wouldn't?"
