The emperor deeply believes that it is very possible that the officials of the DPRK and China colluded with these people.

"Father, if those people don't appear, we might as well take the initiative. Since they wanted to assassinate Lord Gu, it must be that Lord Gu's existence violated their interests. It's better for us to use Master Gu as bait and fish out these people first. ”

The prince felt that he couldn't find anything out of this investigation, and when the other party showed his feet, they would be too passive.

Gu Chengyu is a good bait, and now he can only grieve Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu's gaze at the prince suddenly became gloomy, he had ten thousand words to say.

Why don't you say let yourself be the bait? The identity of the crown prince should be more useful than him, right?

Receiving Gu Chengyu's unkind eyes, the prince immediately said: "Lord Gu, don't worry, this palace will send a master to hide in the dark to protect your life!" ”

Gu Chengyu almost burst into foul language, I believe you are big.

He said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that those people have already given up the plan to assassinate the lower officials. The assassination of the subordinate may be just a passing for them. Your Highness should be careful, those people may have arrived in the capital, and they may be waiting for an opportunity to assassinate His Highness. Your Highness must bring more secret guards by your side, and you can't give those people a chance! ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Gu Chengyusen's cold white teeth, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

Then he said, "Really?" Gave up? That's a shame. The safety of this palace will not be bothered by the adults, and this palace will definitely be cautious. ”

Gu Chengyu snorted coldly, no matter who was so clearly calculated, he would not be happy in his heart.

"Okay, leave this matter to Gu Aiqing! Catch these people as soon as possible and ask them about the purpose of their coming to Dayan. ”

At this point, the emperor felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, and he was impatient to hear the two of them verbally exchange words. He waved his hand and motioned for both of them to stand down.

Gu Chengyu and the crown prince walked out of the Chengqian Palace one after the other, Gu Chengyu looked around, and saw that there was no one here, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, how often do the people you sent to follow the Tianji Daoist reply to the news?" ”

The prince looked around for a while, and then said, "Come back once every five days!" ”

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, haven't you noticed that the emperor's spirit is getting worse and worse?" Although the imperial physician did not diagnose anything wrong, the lower officials felt that the fatigue shown by the emperor was not caused by daily work. ”

The crown prince turned around and glanced at Gu Chengyu, "I heard that the envoy of the Zhang Yuan is going to search for the master of Xinglin among the people, and everyone brainstorms and can always find out where the emperor's illness is." Now that my father is only in poor spirits, and no other symptoms have appeared, it is not good for us to push this matter onto Daoist Tianji. ”

The meaning of the prince Gu Chengyu understands that the emperor is old, even if there is no such thing, it is normal for his spirit to slowly decline.

To insist on saying that it is the plan of the Tianji Daoist is a bit far-fetched.

The two of them walked towards the East Palace as they spoke, "Father may have noticed the condition of his body, and he became more urgent about the Tianji Dao Chief's Longevity Pill, otherwise he would not have sent the Dao Elder out of the palace to look for medicine at this moment." ”

Gu Chengyu was also helpless when he heard this, according to his observation, even if the emperor recovered, it would be impossible for him to be as energetic as he was at the beginning.

It seems that he has to find a backer as soon as possible. He glanced at the crown prince with his gaze, and then weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

Originally, he thought that the prince was indecisive, but he was also benevolent. There is naturally no shortage of strategy, otherwise he would not be able to become a prince.

But the performance of the other party just now still made him feel guilty, using him as bait, and in the hearts of these superiors, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Gu Chengyu is now a fourth-grade person, and with his own ability, he will not be able to rise in the future. The words just now inevitably made me feel contemptuous of him.

Sure enough, as soon as you become a person with great power, you begin to ignore life.

If the crown prince becomes a king, will he become like the emperor, full of calculations and suspicious?

Gu Chengyu felt that the prince had already had such signs now, worthy of being a father and son, and the prince had begun to understand the emperor's methods.

Although as a king, you should focus on the overall situation and must not be soft-hearted, but you must also look at who you are right.

As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the officialdom, he made a lot of contributions to the imperial court. The prince's words just now couldn't help but make Gu Chengyu feel cold.

Sensing the gaze behind him, the prince turned his head and smiled at Gu Chengyu, and then said; "In the hall just now, the palace let Lord Gu take risks, and it was helpless, please don't be surprised. The palace was concerned about the safety of Lord Gu, and had already planned to transfer the secret guards around him to Lord Gu to protect Lord Gu's safety. But then Bengong thought about it, it was still not safe to do so, so the matter was stopped! ”

The prince's eyes were fixed on Gu Chengyu's, and his face was full of apologies.

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness is serious, sharing worries for the court is a matter of the lower officials." It's just that this group of people has now given up the plan to assassinate the lower official, otherwise they wouldn't have been silent for so long. If you want to find these people, you have to find another way. ”

No matter what the purpose of the prince was to apologize, he finally gave Gu Chengyu an explanation on the surface.

Regardless of whether he is hypocritical or sincere, in short, the mustard has already been produced, and it is not so easy to fade.

The crown prince glanced at Gu Chengyu fixedly, and then sighed, "I hope Master Gu can understand the distress of this palace, let's go!" Later, the palace ordered to interrogate the bull, and Lord Gu also participated. ”

Seeing Gu Chengyu with a smile on his face, the prince's attitude was obviously much more distant than before, and he knew that this was going to his heart.

In fact, he is also bitter! Although he is currently in charge of the country, his father has not completely delegated power. I don't know what the purpose of these Daxing people is to infiltrate Dayan, if they want to cooperate with Daxing, then they will be in chaos.

And I don't know what the situation is at the border gate, if it has colluded with Daxing, this is really an internal and external trouble, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Did those brothers live in peace in their fiefdoms? The news came from the prince's spies, and King Gong and King Jing kept making small moves. When Jiangnan was in for disaster relief, both of them sent people to go.

Perhaps they want to raise food prices and take advantage of the opportunity to make more money. It's just that in the end, this matter was stopped by Gu Chengyu, otherwise these two people would really be able to make a lot of money.

What is the purpose of making money? Needless to say?

Therefore, the prince has been very worried recently, and he always feels that a depression lingers in his heart and cannot be dissipated.

"Please also ask Your Highness to spare that brute bull's life, this person is still of some use. After all, he is a Daxing person, and when Lord Yin goes to the border, he may be able to use this person. ”

Gu Chengyu remembered his previous promise and immediately spoke up.

The prince nodded, and then walked forward. Looking at the depressed figure of the prince, Gu Chengyu suddenly felt that the prince seemed to be more tired than the emperor.
