Chapter 1104: Release
Gu Siye was carried home by the guards, which alarmed Old Madam Gu and the others.
Gu Qing rushed over from the study and saw his younger brother lying quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, but there were a few tears faintly in the corners of his eyes.
didn't come to make Gu Qing feel distressed.
has long been accustomed to Gu Siye's arrogance and wantonness, Gu Qing has not seen his younger brother so sad for a long time...... No, it's pathos!
The younger brother has grown up.
After experiencing too many things, there are troubles and helplessness.
Old Madam Gu said angrily: "Zhifeng, you can make it clear, the fourth child is obviously fine, why did he suddenly faint?" ”
Zhifeng knelt in front of everyone and choked up: "The slave has been accompanying the fourth master, when he left the palace, the fourth master was fine, but when he saw the people chasing and beating the coffin of General Xuanwu, the fourth master's face was ugly, and then he fainted, and the slave immediately sent the fourth master back, and the rest of the things, the slave didn't know much." ”
Gu Yao hurried over from outside.
Old Madam Gu said: "Don't worry, I asked the doctor to show the fourth child, and he is fine." ”
"Fortunately, fortunately, my father fainted."
Gu Yao was very glad that Gu Siye's eyelashes on the bed moved slightly, and he was about to wake up.
However, at this time, the room full of people was attracted by Gu Yao, and they didn't see Gu Siye's eyes open a gap.
He still didn't want to be sober, and he didn't know how to face the group of widows and teenagers.
He would rather never have met them, even if he had been hit by that arrow better than now.
Gu Siye believed the young man's words and believed that General Xuanwu was acting according to orders.
But he couldn't prove it, or even clear the stigma of General Xuanwu.
It is difficult to distinguish black and white in officialdom, and human character is not as important as interests.
Therefore, he has always refused to run a career.
would rather be drunk and dream of death, and be a gentleman who relies on his father and brother.
However, he has now been pushed to the position of Yongle Hou, and there are some things that he can't fool by covering his eyes and ears.
It was precisely because he understood the game between Emperor Longqing and Zhenguo Gong that he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
It is also because Gu Siye is the only person in the Manchu Dynasty who can intervene in this game, Gu Siye is extremely uncomfortable.
If he can't, he'll just shrug his shoulders in regret, and then it's time to eat and drink.
But he can do it!
Gu Qing asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on out there? ”
Gu Yao's face was unbearable, and he lowered his voice and said: "Because the people are angry and have a special hatred for General Xuanwu, they flocked to the people who transported the coffin, causing the coffin to fall to the ground, and the bodies of General Xuanwu and several sons ......"
"They died so badly."
Gu Yao couldn't bear to say that every body was neat.
"What?" Gu Siye sat up with his eyes dark, "Yaoyao, what did you say?" ”
Gu Yao pursed the corners of her lips, "Dad, you wake up, I stewed Dongpo meat for you, I made it myself, you must love to eat, I heard that in the paddock on the outskirts of Beijing, Your Majesty also put some hares and elk, in a few days, I will go with you, and then let you deter the officials in the capital, so that they will not think that you are cheating when hunting......"
"Ye is cheating, I'm not afraid of what they say!"
Gu Siye waved his hand casually, "You don't interrupt the master, you make it clear to the master, just now you said what happened to General Xuanwu?" ”
"It's really nothing." Gu Yao still didn't want to embarrass Gu Siye, "Ah, are you asking General Xuanwu?" The people seem to have rarely insulted General Xuanwu anymore, and listening to the third brother's people, the emperor also intends to release General Xuanwu's widow who is locked up in the prison. ”
Gu Siye's eyes were good, and he looked at Gu Yao with a look.
"Daddy......"
Gu Yao lowered her head and tugged at her clothes uneasily.
"Ye always thought that Yaoyao, you wouldn't lie to Ye, let's say, Ye can stand it."
Gu Siye said quietly: "General Xuanwu didn't die for the master, nor did the master kill him, they are not afraid, what is the master afraid of?" Guilty of what? ”
Gu Qing nodded and said: "The fourth brother is right to think so, there is a cause and effect, and retribution will not fall on the fourth brother." ”
"Big brother."
"Obedient, you've done a good job."
Gu Qing raised his hand and rubbed Gu Siye's head.
"What the hell happened to the coffin?"
Gu Siye still asked persistently, "Big brother, I want to listen to the truth." ”
"The coffin fell to the ground, and the body was seen by the people."
“…… It must be very tragic, brother, the fifth son who died in the battle was one year younger than Gu Jue. ”
Gu Siye said slowly: "I heard that his arms were cut off. ”
"Fourth, let's not think about those things."
Old Madam Gu hugged Gu Siye, and her old tears were in her eyes, "Don't scare me, what General Xuanwu, I just want you to be safe." ”
Gu Qing was also persuaded by the side, feeling very sorry for the younger brother, Gu Siye pulled the corners of his mouth, "Master is fine, just sleep well." ”
Gu Siye was like an ostrich, putting his head into the soft and comfortable futon, not looking, not listening, after a while, he forgot these troubles.
Gu Qing called Gu Yao to the study.
"Uncle, I really don't know about my father's involvement with General Xuanwu, my father only said that General Xuanwu's widow had saved him, but my father also said that he had repaid the favor, and there was no need for you or the third brother to come forward."
Gu Yao said everything he knew without concealment.
"General Xuanwu's youngest son is no longer suitable to stay in the Gu family."
"Uncle......"
"Yaoyao is a girl with a soft heart, but I can't ignore your father and Gu family for him!"
Gu Qing's eyes flashed sharply, showing the ruthless nature of the big guy.
"If I have a ruthless heart, I can exchange him for more benefits."
Gu Qing said softly: "Now I just don't let him influence the fourth child anymore and send him to Zhuangzi, if he didn't always mention General Xuanwu in front of the fourth child, the fourth child would not blame himself for this matter." ”
"No one can force the fourth child to do what he doesn't want to do, and I don't allow the fourth child to be tied up with moral justice."
"General Xuanwu is innocent, and his death in battle is also tragic, and he will leave a stigma all over his body."
"But what does this have to do with the fourth?"
"He was knighted Yongle, and His Majesty's expectations are also my expectations."
Gu Qing's voice was low, "Even if I re-enter the center to deal with this matter, I don't want your father to get involved." ”
He has been up and down in the sea for many years, his heart is dirty, his hands are clean, and his eyes only focus on interests.
But the younger brother he grew up holding in the palm of his hand was different.
Gu Qing cultivated Gu Jin, but he also didn't want his younger brother to experience the filth and filth of officialdom.
Gu Yao understood the mind of the eldest uncle, from ancient times to the present, there is no one who plays politics who is not dirty.
Emperor Longqing was furious, Gu Zhan was sick, and the people were a little more tolerant of the generals who died in the tragic battle, and there were faint rumors among the civil officials that General Xuanwu was innocent.
If he is innocent, doesn't he mean that Zheng'er is at fault?
This is something that Emperor Longqing absolutely cannot tolerate.
However, Emperor Longqing did not want the situation to deteriorate further, and he released the five daughters-in-law of General Xuanwu.
