The night was heavy, Kun Yuyang fell asleep in Yufu's carriage, and Yu Fucai came down lightly.
Most of the soldiers also leaned against tree trunks or leaned against stones to rest. Only a few figures standing guard in the distance were still standing upright.
Gu Huaijiang and Gu Shubai were still sitting by the fire, the father and son were silent, and the atmosphere was more rigid than ever.
Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo have gone to rest. Gu Shubai doesn't know what he can do here. He knows that Gu Huaijiang doesn't like to be disturbed when he thinks, and he also knows his father's friendship with the king.
A loyal courtier who knew that the king was assassinated but could not protect him by his side, he must have a lot of self-blame and regret in his heart.
Yu Fu silently stepped forward and sat on the other side of Gu Huaijiang. A pair of children thoughtfully surrounded Gu Huaijiang in an attempt to transmit some strength to him.
He just looked at the beating flames, and remembered the time in his mind.
For a long time, he slowly said, "Every autumn hunting, he guards his majesty with the Gu's army for his father. Although his majesty is not proficient in martial arts, he has high accuracy in archery. He likes to hunt those rare beasts in the mountains and forests, if he can hunt them. A bear is blind, he can be happy for three months and often talk about it."
"At that time, Your Majesty was still very young, and he didn't have such a strong army in his hands. Any suspicion and speculation have not yet begun."
Listening to the description in his mouth, Yufu imagined that the young majesty and the general, a pair of monarchs and ministers, like siblings, together guarding the mountains of Dongling, which is worthy of being passed down to future generations.
After the good memories, he blamed himself deeply.
"If your majesty was poisoned that time, I would tell your majesty the suspicion that the elder prince was poisoned, maybe this time your majesty will not die. He is a person who has been diagnosed and treated by the god of medicine, and he could have lived as long as the first mother..."
Yufu and Gu Shubai almost unanimously said, "Father (General), you can't blame you for this!"
The two looked at each other, and Yufu said: "The last time the prince was poisoned to his majesty, it was because he had insight into the fact that his majesty wanted to establish the second prince as the prince, so he jumped the wall in a hurry. But this time he has no reason to kill his majesty. Someone must be making trouble. How can the general blame all the problems on himself?"
Gu Shubai said: "What's more, with your majesty's temperament, when the father said that your majesty would believe it or not, even if he believed it, he might not be willing to punish the prince. Moreover, we have no evidence. It caused uneasiness in the DPRK and the father did nothing wrong at the time."
What was wrong was the great prince’s greed for quick success, and the wrong was the one who led the great prince to repeat the same mistakes.
Gu Shubai frowned suddenly, "Father, have you noticed a problem, when did Yin Shuo befriend the prince?"
Yin Shuo is the second prince’s brother-in-law, and according to his in-law relationship, he should be biased towards the second prince.
But after the incident, he didn't say a word for the second prince, and the behavior of questioning Kun Yuyang completely exposed his weirdness. No matter whether the second prince was framed by him or not, his attitude towards the prince is undoubtedly biased.
Gu Huaijiang looked at him, "You mean, Yin Shuo was the one who made the stalker and made the eldest prince re-initiate evil thoughts?"
"Yes, it must be him!"
Yufu Lenovo’s previous affairs, instantly determined that the person was Yin Shuo, “I didn’t tell you one thing. Yin Shuo and Princess Danyang were in the Dari Palace on the day of their wedding. Yin Shuo... showed me his heart. He said The person he wanted to marry was me. I wanted to let him go. I said that if he dared to regret the marriage before his majesty, I would forgive him for his previous deeds. He actually agreed to me, but finally changed his mind and said a lot of gratitude to his majesty. if."
Gu Shubai sneered and said: "He is so fascinated by power and position, no matter how much he loves you, he cannot be willing to offend his majesty for this. However, according to his temperament, it is impossible to sing praises to his majesty at that time. It seems he At that time, I had a plan in my heart, so I reluctantly married Princess Danyang to stabilize his position, and then make a fuss."
Yufu nodded, "I think so too, plus Yueyue said that he used Miss Yin to make beauties and intends to undermine the cabinet system. I am even more sure. General, if Yin Shuo takes risks because his power is overwhelmed by the cabinet, Is it possible to help the eldest prince seek rebellion?"
All the trivial things are continuous and strung together into clear lines.
Gu Huaijiang closed his eyes solemnly, "It's not possible, it must be him."
The three were silent again, it was clear that they knew who was the murderer of His Majesty, but there was not enough evidence to prove it.
Gu Shubai looked at the ups and downs of the mountains in the distance, "We travel day and night, and if we are lucky, we will be in the imperial capital in two days. I don't know what kind of changes have taken place in the imperial capital in the past few days. Just relying on the power of Old Master Ji, it may not be. Their opponents."
Yufu looked back at the carriage, "Brother, you said that Uncle Ning will be fine, is it true?"
"it is true."
Gu Shubai comforted: "Ning Xuan is not as incompetent as you think. As a child of the clan, he has his own capabilities. He can protect his wife from leaving, and it is not difficult to save his life in the emperor. Not to mention the prince and Yin. Shuo is not stupid. Madam has already escaped. What use are they doing to kill Ning Xuan?"
Yufu sounded reasonable, Kun Yuyang, a female streamer came to them alone, did not shed tears because of the difficulties and obstacles on the road, but shed tears again and again for Ning Xuan's safety.
She really married the right person.
Yufu looked at Gu Huaijiang again, "General, what do you plan to do after returning to the imperial capital?"
Gu Huaijiang opened his eyes, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed a lot in an instant.
Yufu felt sorry for him.
He exhausted his efforts and resisted public opinion to achieve a big victory on the battlefield. He originally thought that this time he returned to the imperial capital and the border could be peaceful for at least ten years.
Who would have thought that the border was peaceful, but a battlefield more terrifying than the border was waiting for him in the imperial capital.
The battlefield of the human heart is sometimes more terrifying than the blade on the battlefield.
Ning Di’s corpse, I don’t know if I closed my eyes...
Gu Shubai looked at his father, who was no longer young, and how difficult the situation on the battlefield was. He didn't see Gu Huaijiang showing such an expression.
He said: "If Mr. Ji can still stabilize the situation and the prince has not yet become emperor, all the imperial capitals should be waiting for his father to go back and preside over the overall situation. As long as his father doubts the prince, he will not be able to successfully ascend the throne. Father doesn’t express, then..."
The second prince will surely conspire and punish him, and the prince who has no rivals will take the lead as a matter of course.
Gu Huaijiang's attitude is especially important.
Seeing the two children with him, worried that he was sad, and cautiously afraid that he could not think about it, he finally had comfort in his heart.
"My father is not too confused yet, so I naturally understand the situation you are talking about. When your majesty is poisoned, you don't send it out because your majesty was saved. But now your majesty is dead. If I, as a human minister, let the rebels who killed your majesty board Senior, am I still worthy to be in the position of a general?"
Gu Huaijiang was sonorous, Gu Shubai knew that he was determined to return the truth to the matter.
He sternly clasped his hands and said, "No matter what decision my father makes, it is the decision of everyone in my Guhou Mansion and a military order followed by the Gu family army. The child will help my father find out the truth and give your majesty a fairness!"
Yufu said in the same way: "I will too, I will do my best, even with meager efforts."
"Father, and us."
Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo didn't know when they woke up, walked out from behind the tree trunk, and sat silently beside them.
"General, we will also be loyal to your majesty, at your disposal!"
Yan Huashi, Lao Jin and others also stood up, and then more lieutenants and soldiers stood up, silent and tenacious.
It turned out that everyone was not asleep, waiting for his decision.
Gu Huaijiang stood up and looked at the crowd, and a thousand words became speechless in front of these brothers who were born and died.
He stretched out his hand, slapped Yan Huashi's shoulder with his left hand, and landed his right hand on Lao Jin's shoulder, and the two veterans suddenly laughed.
The general's hand is still so powerful, he is not old yet, he can definitely lead everyone to return justice to your majesty, and return the heavens and the earth to the heavens and earth!
Even if it is not easy.
With Yin Shuo's resourcefulness, he must have deliberately taken advantage of Gu Huaijiang's absence to dare to do such things. When they hurried back to the imperial capital, he was afraid that all the evidence that could be found had been destroyed.
No, they have a personal certificate—
After Gu Huaijiang recovered, there was a woman standing beside Yufu's carriage with a thin back straight.
"Although the concubine body is a Xikun woman, she has been greatly favored by His Majesty. If Master Hou has a place that can be used as a concubine body, the concubine will not hesitate!"
