Chapter 290: Emperor's Check and Balance Technique
In the case of Lijiacun and Yiye Guhong, Gu Yan was released due to insufficient evidence.
However, Gong Yun'ao would not let him go so easily. He and Bei Mingye were the most suspicious of this matter.
To get rid of the outside, you must first secure the inside. There is no doubt that Bei Mingye must be eliminated, but Gu Yan has another place to play!
For the suppression of bandits in Lingnan, he is the most suitable candidate to lead the troops to suppress the bandits.
On the one hand, by having him suppress the bandits, he could help the court find evidence that Fei Jiang was in cahoots with the Lingnan bandits and was complicit;
On the other hand, you can take advantage of him to lead the troops to conduct a thorough investigation of the mansion and find evidence that he killed Yiye Guhong and more than a hundred people in Lijia Village.
When all the dust settled, he made time to disintegrate the forces of Nether Palace and eliminate all the killers and spies in Beimingye in the world.
For the sake of convenience, Gong Yun'ao summoned Gu Yan alone late at night. His tall body stood on the stone steps, looking down coldly. There was no expression on his stern face, and there was an invisibly majestic look on his face.
Qi wraps around the body.
Afterwards, Gong Yunao walked down the stairs, and the military talisman symbolizing military power in his hand was handed over to Gu Yan's hands without hesitation.
Looking at the heavy military talisman in his hand, Gu Yan was surprised and shocked. Gong Yun'ao's eyes were as bright as a torch, and his cold voice was full of awe, "Gu Qing, I order you to completely wipe out the bandits in Lingnan. At the same time, you must find Fei Jiang and the gangsters in Lingnan."
Evidence of collusion between bandits and bandits.”
The sudden appointment made Gu Yan excited and shocked. He listened with bated breath, not daring to say a word for fear of misremembering a word.
His Majesty's move fully demonstrated his trust in him and entrusted him with important tasks. In this way, Gu Yan would be grateful and loyal to the emperor alone.
"Gu Qing, don't let me down. I'm waiting for you in the palace to bring you good news!"
Gong Yun'ao's move really figured people's hearts out.
The water in the Yangtze River is clear and the water in the Yellow River is turbid. We should not use it in preference to the water in the Yangtze River, nor should we abandon it in preference to the water in the Yellow River.
The art of imperial checks and balances loves but does not hide and brings about one's own destruction.
The dragon emperor is good at power and is both kind and powerful.
It is conceivable that after this incident, Gu Yan was grateful to His Majesty and loyal to His Majesty with all his heart. There were more or less factions in the court, but Gu Yan was a different kind.
He can be called a solitary minister. He makes no friends with his subordinates and does not cling to his superiors. He only serves His Majesty. Therefore, what emperor would not love such a minister?! And what emperor would not use it?
Gu Yan looked excited and fearless, "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust. The bandits will not be revealed for a day, and I will not return for a day. I will never disgrace my mission!"
Returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Yan plunged into the study. It was not until Ling Hanjing called him during dinner that he came back to his senses from his busy schedule.
At the dinner table, the two of them were silent. They didn't say a word until dinner was over.
In the dead of night, on the bed, Gu Yan hugged her waist tightly from behind. The woman with her back to him shrank and pretended to be asleep.
She was very afraid, very afraid that he would show his bestiality and torment her endlessly, which made her exhausted both physically and mentally.
At this time, Gu Yan's hot and moist breath sprayed against her ears, "Jing'er, early the day after tomorrow, I will go to Lingnan to suppress the bandits."
He paused, and seeing that she didn't speak, he continued: "If I die in battle, will you shed tears for me?"
Ling Hanjing's long eyelashes trembled slightly but she said nothing.
She was so scared, afraid that he would become a wolf again and torture her to the point of death.
However, the man behind him knew very well and could feel that the woman in his arms was not sleeping. From the moment he hugged her waist tightly, he knew she was pretending to be asleep from her slight tremble.
"Jing'er, I know you didn't sleep."
Ling Hanjing turned her back to him, her eyes slightly opened, but her eyes were indifferent.
Gu Yan still didn't give up, but put his hands on her vest and said gently: "Jing'er, are you disappointed that I was released by His Majesty?"
Ling Hanjing: "..."
"Jing'er, have you always suspected that I was responsible for Yiye Guhong's death? Did you believe me for a moment?" Gu Yan sighed in his heart and talked to himself.
Ling Hanjing still didn't answer him, but a line of helpless tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.
Everyone is rumoring that Nether Palace killed Yiye Guhong, and all the evidence points to him, because Bei Mingye and Gong Yun'ao have a deep hatred. After the witchcraft disaster, Nether Palace has been chasing him, so Bei Mingye
Ming Ye took this opportunity to eliminate Gong Yun'ao's right-hand man.
But is it really that simple? Gu Yan is no less vicious than Bei Mingye, so some people will say that Gu Yan killed Yiye Guhong just because of a woman.
From then on, she got the reputation of beauty being a disaster.
It wasn't that she didn't hate Yiye Guhong's death. She also sneaked into the study while Gu Yan was away and searched for evidence of Gu Yan's crime, but she found nothing.
What can she do as a woman? Can she avenge him? The man behind him is his husband. If she kills him desperately, what will her family do?
He can't be so selfish. She is not born to live for herself, let alone do whatever she wants!
She couldn't avenge Yiye Guhong, but she was lying in the arms of her enemy.
At this moment, Ling Hanjing had already burst into tears and was confused.
Brother Hong, I am sorry for you in this life, please forgive me!
If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you with my life, be an ox or a horse to repay the debt I owe you.
Seeing that she was still silent, Gu Yan sighed heavily, heartbroken and sad, "Jing'er, when I come back from suppressing the bandits, I will give you an explanation!"
His voice was low and firm, with a hint of helplessness. He originally wanted to say "I love you" to her, but these three words seemed too heavy.
In the end, he still didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time. After pressing a heavy kiss on her long hair, he turned over and turned around.
That night, neither of them felt sleepy at all and each had their own thoughts.
The next day, Gu Yan led an army of 30,000 people and set out for Lingnan.
On the second day after he left, Shu Yao invited Ling Hanjing and Yunxiang into the palace.
Subsequently, the top ten masters of the Shadow Guard sent by Gong Yun'ao secretly captured the Gu Mansion's secret guards without anyone noticing and sent them to prison.
Then, Gong Yun'ao arranged for Qi Xuanxin's shadow guards to guard the entire Gu Mansion closely, not letting any servant of the Gu Mansion go or letting a fly in to prevent them from leaking information inside or outside.
royal palace
Shu Yao, Ling Hanjing, and Yun Xiang chatted about home affairs. On the other side, Mr. Qi and Liang Jinghuan launched an investigation.
The main hall of Qiancheng Palace is filled with incense.
Ling Hanjing and Yunxiang sat down one after another.
Shu Yao sat upright, her skin as radiant as snow, and her eyes as clear as blue waves filled with a faint smile, "Sister Ling, Sister Yunxiang, we haven't gotten together properly for a long time since we entered the palace.
"
Hearing this, Yun Xiang covered her lips and chuckled, "Your Majesty is so honored for your Majesty's wedding. It's extremely difficult for us to see her. Even if your Majesty invites us into the palace from time to time, we still need His Majesty's permission!"
If we keep pestering the empress, I'm afraid we will offend His Majesty!" After all, Yunxiang was born in a romantic place, and her every frown and smile showed off her romantic charm.
"Yunxiang is absolutely right." Ling Hanjing smiled softly and agreed.
Seeing the two singing together, Shu Yao said angrily: "Are the two sisters standing on the same front to make fun of me?"
Yunxiang laughed softly and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, ma'am, we don't have the guts."
Shu Yao smiled dimly, with sincerity in her eyes, "Sisters, there is no one else here, so don't be so quarrelsome. Just call me sister like before! Apart from my family, I only have you two good sisters!"
When the two heard this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts, "Okay, I'll just follow you, oh no, it's my sister."
Shu Yao smiled slightly, "That's right!"
Ling Hanjing took a sip of tea, slowly put it down, and then glanced at her smooth and flat belly, and said worriedly: "Sister, don't blame me for nagging you, give birth to a prince or princess with your majesty as soon as possible, so that you can be strengthened."
status..."
"You don't know, the Fei family is not a peaceful master. It's more than a year before her conquest ceremony, and she can't wait to call her queen to others!"
Yunxiang snorted coldly and said mockingly: "No, those who put on that air would have thought she was the Queen Mother!"
When Shu Yao heard this, her face was calm, and she spoke calmly: "When you have a child, you have to let nature take its course. We have only been married for less than a year, so there is no rush."
After a pause, Shu Yao lowered her eyes and smiled softly. That smile had a profound meaning, "Besides, I don't care about the back seat. If she wants to fight for it, she can fight for it. Whether she can take it or not in the end is still the same thing!"
Shu Yao spoke cryptically. Ling Hanjing was so smart. Of course he knew the meaning of what she said. There are too many variables in one year. Who can guarantee that this period will be spent safely and smoothly? Is there no accident?
occur?
Yunxiang was quite angry and defended Shu Yao, "But my sister doesn't know that Fei Qiyang has a circle of ladies outside. She is the leader. They often gather together and spread rumors about you."
"Moreover, what she said was extremely unpleasant. Now teahouses and restaurants are talking about my sister, and it has become a topic of conversation after dinner."
Ling Hanjing picked up the handkerchief and wiped it lightly, "Indeed, I heard a lot...somewhat unpleasant..."
Shu Yao picked up the tea cup, held the tea lid in her right hand and gently moved it, her mouth curved slightly, "What can they say about me? It's nothing more than a charming, jealous and ungrateful emperor who did not accept concubines.
I am the only woman in the harem..."
"The mouth is on them, so if they want to say it, let them say it. If they talk too much, they will naturally stop talking..."
"I'm too lazy to waste my energy and time on this kind of person. Miss Fei is just jealous of my third brother's love for me. Of course she'll be bitter if she doesn't get it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiang slowly put down the tea cup, with admiration in her eyes: "My sister is right, that's all. However, I admire my sister's magnanimity."
