Chu Chen gritted his teeth and wanted to leave. He didn't want to pay attention to Gu Qingyan, but he couldn't leave because His Majesty handed over this case to him. Now that Gu Qingyan had taken the evidence, if he didn't obey him
If you have it in your hand, where else can you get it?
Well done to An Huajin! He is indeed his fiancé! Even though he has left Beijing, he still gives Gu Qingyan every advantage.
He was filled with hatred and anger, and his cheeks were sore for a while before he said angrily, "What do you want me to do to buy your favor?"
He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. An Huajin could give the benefits to Gu Qingyan for free, but Gu Qingyan would not give them to him.
Gu Qingyan looked at Chu Chen with a wise look and said with a smile, "Three years ago, the eldest prince secretly made weapons. Where did the young prince get the news before the incident? To investigate the matter in advance? As long as
If you tell the truth, I will give you both the person and the evidence."
Chu Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that this was what Gu Qingyan asked. He stared at Gu Qingyan for a moment, "How do you know about this?"
Gu Qingyan smiled and said nothing.
Chu Chen suddenly realized it and looked at Gu Qingyan angrily, "Three years ago, you were the one who helped the eldest prince, right? I traced it to Hongfen Lane on the Eighth Street. I originally traced you, but I happened to meet Xiao An'er.
, Xiao An'er blocked me for you, so that I didn't catch you."
Gu Qingyan was noncommittal. He raised this matter today with the intention of exposing it in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen's expression changed, and he pointed at Gu Qingyan, "It turns out that the person I have been tracking for three years is you. No wonder Xiao An'er didn't tell me no matter what I said, she was protecting you. Gu Qingyan, you
You are really not afraid of having your head chopped off for working with the eldest prince to deceive the emperor, no, the Gu family will kill the nine clans."
Gu Qingyan's face was calm, and he stretched out his hand to brush away Chu Chen's hand pointing at him, and said calmly, "Little Prince Chen, does he think the eldest prince has done something wrong? The eldest prince has suggested to your majesty several times since the battle at Yuxueling that he should modify weapons.
, but His Majesty did not allow it. Later, the eldest prince had no choice but to build an arsenal privately, just for the sake of the Chu Dynasty. He did not raise any troops or horses, and he did not have a single soldier. He only built an arsenal. He just wanted to one day conquer the Southern Qi and the Southern Chu.
When Liang soldiers and horses invade, the advanced weapons in the arsenal can be used to resist foreign enemies."
Chu Chen suddenly calmed down and became silent.
As we all know, when Yuxueling suffered a tragic victory, the An family and his son were killed on the battlefield. Half of the reason was due to outdated weapons. The weapons of Southern Qi and Nanliang were better than those of Da Chu. Half of the reason was that there were collaborators and traitors.
The person who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country has now been found out and the truth is revealed. It is Zhang Zaifu.
Gu Qingyan looked at him, "If Little Prince Chen doesn't know right from wrong, then I have nothing to say. If Little Prince Chen hadn't investigated and disrupted the eldest prince's plan, the eldest prince might not have been imprisoned till now.
”
"How can you blame me?" Chu Chen suddenly quit, "I am also being used by others, it has nothing to do with me."
"Oh?" Gu Qingyan looked at him, "Who is taking advantage of you?"
Chu Chen was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth and spit out a name, "Chu Lan."
"Respect the king?" Gu Qingyan narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, that's him." Chu Chen was extremely angry, "When the eldest prince Chu Ling's private weapon-making case happened, everyone knew that there was a spy around him, but they never knew who it was, but I knew that it was Chu Lan
Don't look at him. He always goes to show off to His Majesty all day long. He looks stupid, but he is very clever and scheming. He did not take the credit for reporting Chu Ling. Chu Ling was imprisoned for what he did behind the scenes.
He didn’t come out to take credit, but I was the only one who knew that he took advantage of me.”
"How did he use you?" Gu Qingyan did not doubt the authenticity of Chu Chen's words.
"One day I was drunk with Jiang Yunmu, Wang Ziqian, and Cui Chao. On the way to the latrine, I heard two people talking in a hushed voice behind a big tree. They mentioned that the eldest prince was secretly making weapons on the Eighth Street.
After hearing this sentence, the two people seemed to hear my footsteps and left immediately. I went behind the big tree and saw no one. I saw a cat and ran away from me. At that time, I
I was drunk, and it was such a big deal, so I suspected that I had heard it wrong. Later, when I went back home and sobered up, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I ran to check the authenticity of the matter. When I checked, I found out that it was not true.
Come to think of it, after checking for several days, I found some clues."
Gu Qingyan remained silent.
Chu Chen said angrily, "I kept an eye on the eldest prince's people and found out that there was another person behind him who supported him. You know what happened next. You used Xiao An'er to block me."
As he said this, he was extremely angry, "Gu Qingyan, are you still a human? Xiao An'er is your fiancée, and you actually feed her Baisha Powder? Use her to block me? Do you know that if it weren't for Xiao An'er?
She has a kind heart, and ten of me were killed by her. If she kills me, do you know the consequences? If the little princess of Nanyang Palace kills the little prince of Shanqin Palace, won't she have to pay for her life?"
Gu Qingyan looked at him expressionlessly, "No way."
"You said she wouldn't take my life? Or that she wouldn't kill me? Do you know what happened at that time? She fought with herself with two swords." Chu Chen thought of that year, lying on the ground covered in blood, and still feels that
My whole body hurts so much.
"I mean, even if she kills you, your death will be in vain." Gu Qingyan said calmly, "I was watching in the dark at that time, and I will erase all traces for her. Prince Shan will not be able to trace the murderer.
."
"You..."
Chu Chen was so angry that he fell on his back, "You bastard! You're not a human being! You bastard! How could Xiao An'er fall in love with you? Just dream!"
"She just likes me." Gu Qingyan stated the facts, "She is also my fiancée and has a close relationship with me. We are our own people, and you are always an outsider."
Chu Chen: "..."
He scolded him all he needed to. To be honest, he wanted to beat Gu Qingyan to death, but he knew that Gu Qingyan was not a weak scholar. He knew martial arts. Even though he didn't really understand the martial arts that day, it seemed that he didn't know the depth of martial arts, but
He knew that someone like Gu Qingyan had been hiding something all his life. If he could avoid his pursuit back then and could secretly watch with his own eyes how An Huajin beat him without being discovered by him, his martial arts must be quite good.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, sat down on the chair, picked up the herbal tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp. The anger in his heart was finally suppressed, and he continued, "Later, you know, Xiao An'er beat me three times.
I couldn't get out of bed for a month. No matter whether my grandpa asked or your majesty asked, I would not tell him whether he was alive or dead. I hid it for Xiao An'er and for myself. At that time, I understood that the water was deep here, and even the Prince Shanqin's palace was afraid that it wasn't enough.
Just go in and have a drink. Therefore, I will naturally not stand up and go to His Majesty to report the matters I investigated and the First Prince’s matters."
Gu Qingyan nodded, sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Chu Chen himself.
Chu Chen snorted coldly, and this time he picked up the tea and drank it slowly, his anger subsided a little, "Chu Lan's plan is probably that Prince Shan will stand up and report the eldest prince, and then offend many people.
Among them, the biggest offender was the An family and the Nanyang Army. After all, although the things the eldest prince did were against His Majesty's taboos, they were very popular with loyal ministers and good generals. However, His Majesty acted arbitrarily and with thunderous anger, so he treated the eldest prince
The confinement was thoroughly investigated, and no one dared to stand up and speak for the eldest prince. But what he thinks in his heart is beyond your control. Although the palace of the good prince can make meritorious service in front of your majesty, it is isolated and resented by loyal ministers and good generals. Once this is done
, it is tantamount to being plotted by him. After he plotted against Prince Shan’s Palace, he then extended an olive branch at the right time to recruit Prince Shan’s Palace. In that way, by then, I and Prince Shan’s Palace would become grasshoppers on his rope.
, tied together."
Gu Qingyan poured out the herbal tea in front of her and poured it on a magnolia plant in front of the window, turned around, poured herself a new cup of tea, took a slow sip, and then said, "So, you didn't spit at all at that time, even if
Your grandfather is so angry that he wants to kill him in Nanyang?"
"That's right." Chu Chen breathed out bitterly, "Although I was used by others, I was not stupid. I knew what to do and what not to do. It was probably because he later discovered that my move was not wise.
, so we simply exposed the traitor buried next to the eldest prince, and directly let the eldest prince’s people expose the eldest prince themselves, and brought the eldest prince down.”
"The fall of the eldest prince did not bring much benefit to him, but it did not bring any harm either. But who would have thought that the person who did all this was Chu Lan? You see, until now, he still likes to search for rare treasures every day.
What a funny thing, it seems like this is the only hobby in my heart." Chu Chen sneered, "Prince Jing first overthrew Chu Ling, who held the eldest son's title, and let the second and third princes show up to deal with the legitimate Chu Yan, and then, he
Waiting to reap the benefits one day, isn’t it awesome?”
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "It's quite impressive."
Although he knew that King Jing was not as obedient as he appeared, he did not expect that he was the one behind the eldest prince's private weapon-making case, and he almost used Chu Chen to pull Prince Shan's palace into trouble. Could he have done it?
Is he awesome? I underestimated him.
