Make a condition, and start a war if you don't agree to my condition, there is nothing to say!
Yufu's powerful and domineering demeanor completely frightened Dongling's courtiers, and everyone persuaded Yufu to bring out all the honors and favors that the late emperor had shown her when he was there.
Some people persuaded and looked at Ning Chengzhi, signaling him to compromise quickly; some people begged Gu Huaijiang and his son, hoping that they would help speak good words for the sake of the late emperor; some people persuaded Chen Jingxing to try to "curve to save the country"...
Ning Chengzhi also panicked, and subconsciously shouted, "Why should swords and soldiers confront each other? Yufu, you have stayed in Dongling for so many years, and Dongling is also half of your family. Are you really willing to invite troops to invade?"
He called Yu Fu by his name in a panic, and everyone knew that he was really scared.
Ning Chengzhi is just an embroidered pillow. Under Yin Shuo's instigation, he believed that as long as he restrained everyone in Guhou's mansion, Bei Li would not use force against Dong Ling. Now he was scared again after being threatened by Yu Fu.
Yu Fu smiled lightly and said: "That's right, Dongling is half of my family, that's because Dongling has a great general, Guhou's mansion and the late emperor. But now that the late emperor is gone, how do you treat Guhou's mansion? "
Yu Fu's rhetorical question left Ning Chengzhi speechless.
She said again: "I came to Dongling not to discuss anything with you, but to give face to the late emperor and the veterans in the court, so I will sit here. Otherwise, with my Beili's military strength, why should I be here? Wasting my tongue with you?"
Ning Chengzhi said firmly: "Yufu, is it possible that only Beili has an army, and Dongling doesn't have one? Foreign enemies invade, even if the Gu family army has no leader, won't they resist?"
"Your Majesty is right."
Gu Shubai stood up from his seat, said with a faint smile: "Earlier, His Majesty sent ministers to the border to defend the territory, but I haven't made it clear to Your Majesty and all the ministers about the minister's death in battle."
He glanced at the ministers in the seat, "I did not die by the swords of the Xikun people, but by the murder of the people in the court. You and Your Majesty may know who the Xiaozhuguan Mansion belongs to than I do." He falsely preached the imperial decree and told me that Guhou's mansion was ransacked and beheaded. I lost my defense for a moment and was pierced by him with a sword. At that time, I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, before I lost consciousness, I thought of the secret of Immortal Valley that Yufu had given me. Only after taking the medicine can I save my breath."
The officials didn't know who belonged to Xiaozhuguan Mansion, but they knew that the person Gu Shubai spoke of was probably Yin Shuo, and behind Yin Shuo...
Everyone couldn't help looking upwards, Ning Chengzhi sent Gu Shubai to leave alone to marry Yufu, everyone knew this very well, did he use all means to murder Gu Shubai for this reason
Ning Chengzhi met the gazes of the crowd, and suddenly his heart turned cold, "I didn't order people to kill you, it really wasn't me! I just wanted to drive you away, I really didn't want to kill you!"
If what Gu Shubai said is true, then this matter is that Yin Shuo arbitrarily and arbitrarily eliminated dissidents without telling him, and made him bear the notoriety of murdering Zhongliang.
He couldn't help clenching his fists, scolding Yin Shuo thousands of times in his heart.
However, no matter how much he explained, everyone below felt that there was no silver three hundred taels here, and refused to believe what he said was true.
Gu Shubai continued: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, is it still important whether you are you or not? Even if it's not you, but Yin Shuo did it against the will, isn't it true that you favored and trusted treacherous ministers to frame and kill Zhongliang?"
Ning Chengzhi pursed his lips and looked at him, unable to say a word to explain himself.
Gu Shubai suddenly turned to Gu Huaijiang's direction, knelt down and kowtowed to him, everyone was amazed.
Gu Huaijiang looked at him with a frown, and only heard him say: "Father, please forgive the child for being unfilial. Since the child recovered his life from a narrow escape, he has decided not to be loyal to this smoky court, this stupid king who knows no one."
There was a sound of gasping around, Ning Chengzhi's absurdity was obvious to all, and Gu Shubai was the first one who dared to call him a foolish king to his face.
He slowly got up and looked at Ning Chengzhi, "When I came back to Dongling, I decided not to let my father and family members suffer like this. So I ordered the border guards in the name of Major General Gu's family Gu Jiajun, if His Majesty refuses to let them go, they will raise troops and rush to the imperial capital."
There was an uproar in the audience, and even Lord Ji couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"you… "
Ning Chengzhi was furious, "No, I don't believe it, I don't believe the Gu family army will rebel!"
"Since Your Majesty doesn't believe that the Gu family army will rebel, why do you allow traitors to frame my Gu Hou's house?!"
Gu Shubai quickly refuted him, and said: "I don't want to rebel, it's His Majesty who forced me to rebel. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, just send someone to check, is there any sign of mobilization of the border guards? If Your Majesty refuses to agree to this matter tonight In the future, when the Beili army sets foot on the territory of Dongling, the soldiers of the Gu family army will never resist."
Not only would he not resist, but it would be good if he didn't help outsiders to fight the imperial capital.
Ning Chengzhi was shaking like chaff, pointing at Gu Shubai's hand, he couldn't control himself, his hand pointed at Gu Shubai for a while, and pointed at Yufu for a while, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"You, you..."
The two looked back at him calmly, and after a while, Ning Chengzhi sat down.
"Okay, I agree to your terms."
…
On the carriage back to the palace, everyone looked at each other in silence, as if they had passed away.
The palace banquet tonight was different from what they had imagined. Ning Chengzhi didn't follow what was agreed in advance. Instead, he suddenly got into trouble because of Yin Shuo's slander, but luckily it subsided in the end.
Yu Fu was the first to break the silence, "Big brother, when you returned to Zhuguan, you and General Guan were talking about troop deployment. Did you foresee that Emperor Ning would reject my offer?"
"It's just being prepared."
Gu Shubai said: "It seems that we asked Liu Tingting to come back with us. In fact, it was to guard against Yin Shuo. Unexpectedly, Yin Shuo killed Eunuch Chi in a fit of anger, and left him a handle. Liu Tingting's existence did not check and balance Yin Shuo, but made Yin Shuo The old prime minister..."
Gu Huaijiang said slowly, "You can't blame you for the matter of the old prime minister. The karmic cycle has its own destiny, and no one else can interfere with the grievances between them."
"What my father said is that everything is finally resolved satisfactorily, and we can leave. The mansion has been packed, why not leave tomorrow?"
Gu Huaijiang nodded slightly, then closed his eyes to rest his mind, Yu Fu and Gu Shubai looked at each other, and tacitly stopped talking.
That night, the Guhou Mansion was brightly lit, and the servants were busy packing their luggage, Yu Fu and the others didn't sleep for long, and they got up early at four o'clock to prepare to leave.
Gu Jiuge personally took people to the Prime Minister's mansion to pick up Yin Jiyu, but Yin Shuo didn't say anything, just knelt before Yin Yan's spirit.
There is a will written by Yin Yan himself to betroth Yin Jiyu to Gu Jiuge, and he has no reason to stop it, not to mention that he can't even stop people from the Marquis Gu's mansion, so what's the use of stopping Yin Jiyu
He threw a handful of paper money into the charcoal basin, and the paper money ignited a dark red flame in the night, like a ghost baring its teeth and claws.
Yin Jizhen took one last look at Xiangfu, with reluctance in her eyes, "This is the place where I grew up. Although my father didn't treat me very well, especially my elder brother, it is my home after all."
Gu Jiuge stood beside her and accompanied her silently. Yin Jiyu suddenly remembered what happened when she was a child, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you know? I have known since I was a child that I am from a concubine's room, not a serious lady from this family." .I also know that my father and elder brother don't like me that much, so I always like to bring a lot of people behind me, pretending that I am hugging and hugging, and the stars are holding the moon."
Gu Jiuge said in a low voice: "So you like this. From then on, I will definitely arrange more maids and servants for you in your room, so that you will be surrounded by stars, okay?"
Yin Jiqian turned her head with a smile, and said angrily: "That was when I was a child, I don't think so anymore now. It's all a bluff. There are not many people who come out of Yufu, but she is loved by many people." It has nothing to do with how many people follow her."
Gu Jiuge was worried that he was jealous of Yufu, and was about to explain, Yin Jixie raised her eyebrows and said, "From now on, the person you love the most must be me, not Yufu, otherwise I will be jealous."
"Naturally, Yufu has his father and elder brother doting on him, and I only dote on you."
Gu Jiuge comforted her very seriously, Yin Jixie chuckled, "You really take it seriously, idiot."
The two walked out hand in hand, and suddenly heard a woman's voice in the night, "Ji Yao."
Yin Jiyu paused, and turned her head to see Princess Danyang standing alone in the courtyard, with an indescribably pitiful figure.
She slowly walked towards Yin Jiyu, "You are leaving, congratulations, you finally married the person I always wanted to marry."
Yin Jixie apologized and said: "Danyang, I'm sorry, I'm frustrated that I won't be able to dispatch with you in this mansion in the future. I also hope that one day you will find your own happiness and stop being with my elder brother."
Princess Danyang shook her head, "Ji Yao, you don't need to say sorry, if you really feel sorry for me, can you do me a favor?"
"What?"
Princess Danyang held her hand, "I want to see Yufu, can you take me to see her?"
Yin Jiyu thumped in her heart, and subconsciously withdrew her hand, "Danyang, what do you want to do to Yufu? I know you hate her, but it's not her wish that elder brother like her, if she can, she would rather elder brother not like her! Danyang, don't be obsessed with it, okay?"
Gu Jiuge protected Yin Jizheng by his side, worried that Princess Danyang would be stimulated and hurt Yin Jizheng.
Princess Danyang turned to Gu Jiuge, "Second Young Master, please take me to see Yufu, okay? I won't hurt her, I just have a few words to tell her, I don't have a weapon on me, if you don't believe me, search it!"
She turned to Yin Jiqian, took her hand and stuck it out from her sleeve, she did not have a weapon on her body.
Yin Jiyu looked at Gu Jiuge, Gu Jiuge thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll take you there."
The carriage stopped in front of Guhou's mansion, and Qi Zhou happily greeted him, "Second Young Mistress, we have prepared your carriage and things, do you want to go and see—"
He suddenly saw the woman behind Yin Jiqian, and the smile froze on his face.
"Princess Danyang?"
He looked at Gu Jiuge, not understanding why Gu Jiuge brought her here. Gu Jiuge said, "Officer Qi, take Ji Kui to see what is prepared for her first, and I will take Princess Danyang to see Yu. help."
Qi Zhou hesitated, "Second Young Master, this..."
Gu Jiuge said: "Don't worry, it will be over soon, and today's schedule will not be delayed."
"Why."
Qi Zhou responded and took Yin Jixiu away. Gu Jiuge took Princess Danyang to the west chamber, while Gu Shubai and Yufu were sitting on the back porch drinking tea, talking about various arrangements of the west chamber.
Seeing Princess Danyang coming, Gu Shubai immediately became vigilant.
"Yufu, big brother. When I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up Ji Yao, Princess Danyang said that she had something to say to Yufu, so I brought her back."
Yufu got up and walked, Princess Danyang stepped forward quickly, just when Gu Shubaixuan wanted to stop her, she knelt down in front of Yufu with a plop.
Before Yu Fu could stop her, she had already knocked her head on the ground.
"Princess Yufu, in the past it was Danyang who had many offenses because he had eyes but no pearls. Today I come here to plead guilty. Please forgive me a lot, even if it's because I didn't expose you when you sneaked out of the imperial capital."
Seeing Yu Fu's expression, Yao Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help Princess Danyang, but the latter pushed her away gently but firmly, insisting on kneeling on the ground.
Yu Fu personally helped her up, "Princess Danyang, I have never held grudges against you, how can I apologize? What's more, you didn't expose me last time, I am very grateful to you."
Princess Danyang raised her head, "Is what His Highness said true? If you really never hated me, may I ask you to do me a favor, please don't put Yin Shuo to death!"
Yu Fu was stunned for a moment, Gu Shubai immediately frowned, and Gu Jiuge was also filled with regret.
If he had known what she was going to say, he would never have brought her back.
Princess Danyang saw the ugly expressions on everyone's faces, and quickly said: "I know! I know everything! I know that Yin Shuo has done a lot of things to you. Yes, I know everything! Yin Shuo is sorry for you, I will kowtow to you in his place to apologize!"
She kowtowed again and again, without the dignity of being a first-in-law princess in her movements, and her arrogant and domineering appearance was swept away.
Yu Fu couldn't bear it in his heart, so he stepped forward to help her up, "Yin Shuo is more than sorry for us, is he worthy of you? If it weren't for him, you would still be a beautiful first princess, even if you marry an ordinary person, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and glory .Not only do you not hate him, but you want to plead with me for him?"
With tears in her smile, Princess Danyang glanced at Gu Shubai.
"At the beginning I fell in love with the eldest son, and I did many embarrassing things for it. I was still resentful until I married Yin Shuo. He is indeed not a good person, sinister, vicious, and ruthless. He even treats his own sister so cruelly, not to mention What about a woman he doesn't like?"
She laughed softly, "Maybe it's because I enjoyed too much wealth and glory since I was a child, and God felt it was unfair, so it made me have a rough relationship and always fell in love with people who didn't love me. No matter what he did, Yin Shuo My husband, Your Highness, please let your lord have a lot, please let him go?"
She is humble, she is earnest, she has no dignity.
Yu Fu frowned at her, not knowing whether he should be angry or pity, but felt that such a Princess Danyang was irresistible.
She couldn't help but turned around, "Go back, we have decided to leave Dong Ling, and we will not interfere with Yin Shuo's affairs from now on. Whether he lives or dies is up to God's will, I can only promise you, no In the name of Bei Li, put pressure on Emperor Ning to execute Yin Shuo."
Princess Danyang wept with joy, knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Until dawn, Beili's envoys and the people of Guhou's mansion left the Hou's mansion, and the brigade headed towards the north gate of the imperial capital.
At this moment, before the city gate opened, the soldiers guarding the city had already received orders, and stood guard on both sides of the road in a dignified posture, waiting for Yufu and his party to appear.
When they saw the figures of the brigade at the other end of the street, the soldiers immediately opened the city gate and stood aside respectfully.
On the silent long street, there is only the sound of cars and horses. I don’t know who’s window opened a crack, just like the tide pushing forward wave by wave, the windows of countless people’s homes along the street opened. .
The common people stuck their heads out of the window silently. The adults held the children, and the old people supported each other, watching Dong Ling's generation of famous generals leave.
No one made a sound, not even a cough.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Huaijiang opened the curtain and looked out, the countless black figures at the windows made him feel warm in his heart.
Yu Fu also lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, seeing the silent eyes of the people, his eyes were red unconsciously.
The team gradually left the city gate, Ning Xuan led a group of courtiers to stand on the long pavilion in the distance, and Chao Yufu silently raised his wine glass.
Then he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
A courtier behind him asked, "Uncle Ningtang, do we really not need to go up and see Princess Yufu off?"
"No need."
Ning Xuan put down his wine glass and smiled cheerfully, "I can't say anything about this situation."
