In fact, Gu Chengyu is not unwilling to go to the border pass, but he went to the border pass with his grade, and he can't become the main general no matter what.

If you are the deputy general, subject to others, and inevitably constrained when you do things, then what's the point of going?

Moreover, the crown prince was already jealous of him, and would never let him monopolize the military power. The crown prince understood that it was not him who the emperor chose in the end, so he was always uneasy in his heart.

If he gains military power, and if he is unsatisfactory in the future, he will help others change hands, and the prince's noble days will come to an end.

This is because he understands this, the prince will never let Gu Chengyu hold the military power, so Gu Chengyu has no interest in guarding the border pass.

What's more, the status of the military attache of the Dayan Dynasty is lower than that of the civilian official, and he is stupid to go to the bitter cold places such as the border pass to suffer.

The prince's face froze, in fact, he was also thinking about the overall situation. Gu Chengyu can be civil and martial, and the border pass is unscrupulous, where can he rest assured?

It's just that Gu Chengyu's refusal just now is already obvious, and this matter should not be mentioned again.

He took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "Let's discuss this matter later!" The most important thing now is to interrogate those assassins and Zhou Congyuan, let's go! Let's go to meet Zhou Congyuan first. ”

The prince stood up from the circle chair, and then flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked forward.

Gu Chengyu stared at the other party's back for a long time, and then moved to follow. As he walked, he thought that he hadn't planned to see the man in the last few days, but now he had changed his mind.

The prince took Gu Chengyu and the guards to the yamen of Dali Temple, Gu Chengyu looked at the heavily guarded gate in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he broke into Dali Temple at night.

It's a pity that although he was not implicated in the end, Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing still died.

In fact, these two people really died unjustly, but who made these two people fall victim to the game of the superiors?

Even if he is already a third-grade master, he is still pinched in the palm of his hand? If you can be calculated successfully, it proves that you are not strong enough.

Seeing the cell head nodding to the prince, bowing respectfully, and quickly stepping forward to open the chain, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Power is so important, which strengthens his determination to climb up.

When the chains were untied, Gu Chengyu followed the prince into the dark and damp prison.

The railing of the cell was full of dark red dried blood, and the prisoners in the prison looked numbly at Gu Chengyu and the others who had just entered, without a trace of brilliance in their eyes.

There are not many prisoners in the prison, after all, it is a place where the inmates are held. Even if the people involved in it need to be held together, so many cells are not enough.

Gu Chengyu looked at the prisoners with their hair scattered, their bodies stained with blood and their clothes in tatters, and couldn't help but sigh, the loyal ministers and good generals who died in this Dali Temple don't know how many, and the officialdom has always been so cruel.

Taking a step forward, they suddenly noticed a thin figure in the cell on the right with their back to them.

The man heard the footsteps and quickly turned around to look. Gu Chengyu looked at it and found that it was Xia Qing.

At this time, the other party was also stunned when he saw them, but Gu Chengyu looked him up and down, feeling that this old man did not suffer much in prison.

When you enter this prison, you naturally have to take off your official uniform, and needless to say, you have to take off your official hat a long time ago. At this time, the other party's snow-white middle coat was slightly messy, and there were some creases on the fine snow satin.

The usual meticulously combed hairstyle is also a little frizzy, and although it looks a little embarrassing, it is much better than the prisoners in the prison who are beaten to the skin and flesh and covered in wounds.

After all, he is a first-class member, and before he is convicted, the cell head and the jailer will never dare to offend. After all, Xia Qing's henchmen are all over the court, and if the prince does not pursue the matter afterwards and lets Xia Qing out of the cell, then their lives will come to an end.

Seeing Gu Chengyu's gaze, Xia Qing immediately sneered, and Gu Chengyu could see that this was a provocation to him.

That's right, too! The crown prince is now unclear about how to deal with Xia Qing, and Xia Qing does have some confidence. It's just that the person who is locked up in the cell now is not Gu Chengyu, and I don't know why Xia Qing is so confident.

However, the other party cost his disciple's life, and he didn't know if he would feel guilty in his heart.

Suddenly, a figure in a white shirt rushed over, but just halfway through the road, he was blocked by an iron railing. The chain he was holding on to slammed into the railing with a crisp thud.

"Your Highness! Ask His Highness to be merciful and spare the lower officials. The lower officials are really innocent, please let Your Highness know it! ”

A poignant pleading sounded in everyone's ears, Gu Chengyu put down his right hand that was touching his waist, and looked at the man with messy hair, a panicked expression, but full of pleading.

"What? Dare to collide with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Be honest with me. When the cell boss saw this scene, he was immediately so frightened that his heart and liver trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward to scold.

Gu Chengyu didn't need to look at it anymore, he recognized this person as You Shaofeng, the secretary of general affairs. On that day, the prince interceded with Xia Qing because of You Shaofeng, so he also locked this person in Dali Temple.

Tianji Daoist was recommended by Xia Qing, this person was very close to Xia Qing on weekdays, and at that time he opened his mouth to intercede for Xia Qing, and the prince was angry, so he naturally put him in prison together.

The You Mansion has been searched, and no evidence of collaborating with the enemy has been found, but there is a lot of gold and silver in the Mansion. Needless to say, I also know that it is a bribe.

I heard that yesterday a lot of evidence was found for him to solicit bribes, and later many wealthy businessmen came to the yamen to testify against him and forced them to be filial. In short, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and his political enemies don't make a move at this time, when will it be?

Unless you are honest all your life, and there are no gentlemen in your clan, it is very easy to be caught. Even that trivial backyard matter can also convict you of a crime of lax governance.

Even if Xia Qing can come out unharmed, You Shaofeng can't get out of this prison. Those political enemies can't move Xia Qing at this time, but they can deal with You Shaofeng, presumably they can still do it.

And You Shaofeng can still shout grievances with full anger at this moment, all because Kuang Zhaoying of Dali Temple has not yet had time to interrogate him.

Otherwise, the image of the other party at this moment is not much better than that dead dog.

You Shaofeng saw the cell boss yelling at him with a whip, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart.

He was an official position of the fourth grade, and in the past, these lowly jailers did not even have the qualifications to look at him when they saw him.

But now the other party still dares to yell at him, it is really hateful that the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs.

He had thought it over the past two days, and it seemed that the prince did not intend to delve into the matter by not being tortured every day like other prisoners, as the other prisoners did, and the jailers were still offering them good food and drink.

Then when he goes out, he must make these people look good.
