Gu Chongyi thought about what Wei Yuanchen said, if someone had been staring at the Lotus Hutong, what was going on with Tan Zigeng? Like Lotus Hutong, was he wronged?

Gu Chongyi put the paper in his hand. Wei Yuanchen helped this way, but he still hadn't forgotten his wife's "life-saving grace"? The uncle and nephew had no idea what plans they had. The Gu family had been too close to each other recently. Now, they had to work with Wei Yuanchen when investigating Gu family's cases.

Gu Chongyi always felt something was wrong. He thought about it like this and looked at Wei Congzhi next to him. He saw Wei Congzhi slumping on the chair, his eyes closed and drowsy.

It sounded carefully, and there were bursts of snoring from Wei Congzhi's nose.

No matter who it is, seeing Master Wei Er like this, he would not think that this person has any scheming.

Gu Chongyi frowned. This man took the show to the extreme. Maybe even Wei Congzhi himself couldn't tell whether he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

He did not hold an important position in the court, not only because he was afraid that being a nobleman would cause trouble, but he did not want to get involved in the struggle between the court. When the emperor had just ascended the throne, he wanted to eliminate bad policies, remove the old and new, and use many poor families to suppress the royal family and relatives. The morale of the court was boosted. Many old ministers felt that the emperor was so determined that the Zhou Dynasty might usher in a new prosperous era.

But unexpectedly, it gradually changed its flavor and became a battle between the aristocratic clans and the upstarts. The emperor especially liked to use the upstarts, as if only the upstarts could make the emperor feel at ease.

It's all right, but the emperor shouldn't do the most is to suppress Empress Wei's favor with the imperial concubine.

It would be fine if the Wei family, a relative, was really arrogant and domineering. Wei Shangshu was determined to serve the country of Great Zhou, but eventually died because of the second prince's rebellion case.

There are many suspicious points in the second prince's rebellion. The troops in the hands of the second prince and the eldest princess are not enough to force the palace. As for some people, the second prince's original intention was to ask the emperor to abolish the Eastern Palace and make him the crown prince. That was even more nonsense. It was all at the point of leading the army to rebel. Either you die or I live. Only by taking the throne in one fell swoop can it be considered a big deal. Don't the second prince and the eldest princess understand?

Shangshu Wei mobilized the troops of Daning to assist the second prince with his help? It seems reasonable? Without the troops of Daning, the second prince could not compete with the troops of the Beijing camp.

But in fact, the soldiers of the Daning did not enter the capital in large numbers? Only three deputy generals led hundreds of people to leave the garrison privately? After the imperial army arrived, those people fought hard to resist. All three deputy generals were all killed. These three deputy generals were appointed by Wei Congsheng to serve in Daning? In addition, the court had seized a secret letter from Wei Congsheng who ordered his family to send Daning to Daning before. This almost convicted Wei Congsheng.

However, if the Wei family really rebelled, Wei Congsheng could mobilize more than three generals and hundreds of soldiers. Wei Congsheng was taken down and the Wei family was put into prison. The case had not been clarified yet? Wei Congsheng was "infected" and died.

The second prince and the eldest princess rebellion case? There are many doubts, and the Secretary of Wei was even more strange. Many people in the court questioned it, and even the Empress Dowager went to the Yangxin Palace in person.

Later, the court received a secret report that the widow of the deputy general who was killed in Daning was walking from Daning to the capital and sent a letter of transfer from the Daning Guard Office. It proved that the three deputy generals did not leave the guard office privately, but were transferred to the Guangning Guard by the Ministry of War.

The person who issued the letter of dispatch of the Ministry of War was Qi Jin, the then official of the Ministry of War. When the court found Qi Jin, Qi Jin had already committed suicide by taking poison.

Is it Qi Jin and the second prince colluding? Or is it Wei Congsheng instructing Qi Jin to do things? Both of them were dead? Many of the inside stories are hard to explain.

The emperor disagreed with the public. Although there was insufficient evidence, he believed that the Wei family was determined to be the Great Zhou, and would never have made any rebellious moves and released the detained people of the Wei family.

It seems that the emperor is concerned about the Conglong's merits of the Wei family, but Wei Congsheng died. The hat of the Wei family's rebellion was not really taken off. The emperor's friendship with the Wei family has been exhausted, and no one can protect the Wei family again if anything happens. Therefore, some famous families naturally stay away from the Wei family, and the Wei family has declined.

Wei Congsheng's death is still a mystery. The royal family and the Wei family kept silent, and the rest were just guessing.

There was news from somewhere that when the emperor saw Wei Congsheng, Wei Congsheng committed suicide to prove his innocence. He begged the emperor to let the rest of the Wei family go, because of the relationship between the Wei family's secret residence and the emperor was spared. From then on, the Wei family no longer took charge of the troops and dared not hold important positions again.

When Gu Chongyi heard this, he couldn't help but worry about the Wei family. He said implicitly that the land that the Wei family has today was the emperor who weakened the rights of the Wei family. If the Wei family blamed the spread of rumors, the Wei family might be criticized again.

Furthermore, if the Wei family believed this and wanted to avenge Wei Congsheng, no matter how private actions they did, they would cause a catastrophe for themselves.

However, the Wei family seemed to accept everything calmly, without rushing to defend themselves, and without reluctance to fight back. Just like Empress Wei of Kunning Palace, she hid in the palace quietly. On the surface, she was still the queen and the important minister, but she no longer made any moves to change the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If the imperial concubine had not been powerful and the prince was doing things more and more ridiculously, the emperor probably wouldn't have thought of using the Wei family to restrain the imperial concubine party.

That's why the Wei family has today's situation.

Gu Chongyi came to his senses when he thought of this and found that Wei Yuanchen had not spoken, obviously waiting for him to calm his thoughts. Wei Congzhi next to him snored louder and had already lost his energy.

Wei Yuanchen said: "Uncle Second is busy these days and can't help but be tired. Most of the Marquis will be forgiven."

Gu Chongyi suddenly became curious. He didn't know what Wei Congzhi was busy with. Once he became curious about someone in his heart, it was inevitable that he would have to worry more about him, which was not a good thing.

Gu Chongyi raised his eyes and said, "This matter involves the Tan family. Tan Dingfang replaced your father as the Minister of War. If the case is not handled well, he may be questioned. The emperor has the intention to hand over the case to Qiao Song. Haven't you ever thought of taking the opportunity to let go?"

Wei Yuanchen shook his head: "If we do not continue to investigate after the war horse case, we will not find that the Censorate and the Five City Military and Horses have also been placed in the hands of the Censorate.

Since the Shanxi case started to have the current situation, I really want to ask the truth, not my own selfishness. I will not be prejudiced to Tan Dingfang just because he took over as my father."

Gu Chongyi nodded: "This case is not easy to investigate. After that incident, it is not easy for the Wei family to have today. You should be more careful."

Gu Chongyi looked at Wei Yuanchen and thought about the situation of the Wei family, and felt a little worried about Wei Yuanchen. He also knew that blindly avoiding was not a way. He never thought of pretending to be crazy and stupid forever. At the critical moment, he still had to contribute to the Great Zhou people.

"Since they have set their sights on me," Gu Chongyi said, "This case involves the Gu family and the Tan family, so I will go to the Tan family to find Tan Dingfang for information."

Gu Chongyi said and looked at Wei Yuanchen: "We will act separately. If there is any news, come to the mansion to find me to talk."

Wei Yuanchen responded and stood up to see Gu Chongyi off.
