Although An Huajin felt that what Zhang Chengze said was probably true, she still wanted to confirm it in person.
After Xu Jing finished speaking, Shen Yuanzhi was silent for a long time before he said, "The Gu family really knew about the dirty plans of His Majesty and Zhang Zaifu back then? Did Mr. Gu know about it but didn't stop him? Is that so?"
An Huajin was silent.
With the power of the Gu family in the capital, there are so many secrets and secrets buried in the palace, but if there is any trouble, would you not know about it? Generally speaking, you won't, but if you know it, you will not stop it...
The Gu family has been firmly established in the capital for hundreds of years and has always believed in the principle of being wise and self-preserving. Mr. Gu knew it and did not stop him, which is in line with the Gu family's principle.
But even if the Gu family had a legitimate reason to know and not stop her, she couldn't blame the Gu family, but she still felt a pang in her heart.
She couldn't help but think, if the Gu family had known about it at that time, what would have happened if Mr. Gu had stopped him? What would have been the result? Would his father and brother have died? Wouldn't her mother have died? The An family today would not be like this So few people?
In the battle at Yuxueling, rivers of blood flowed. His father and brother were buried in the battlefield. She hated the emperor and Zhang Zaifu. Although there was no reason to hate the Gu family, she couldn't forget it easily without any trace after knowing about it. Treat the Gu family as before.
Seeing An Huajin's silence, Shen Yuanzhi felt very uncomfortable for a moment, but he still said, "Don't blame it on Gu Qingyan. The person who made the decision back then was Mr. Gu and had nothing to do with him."
An Huajin remains silent.
Shen Yuanzhi rubbed his head fiercely, and said upset and angrily, "Forget it, let's leave the Gu family's matter for now. I will accompany you to find Xu Jing tomorrow. If he admits it, let's ask for details. . Your Majesty has been in high position for twenty years, murdered loyal ministers and good generals, and yet sat on the throne with peace of mind and enjoyed the eight years of peace in Chu that Anjia bought with his blood and bones. How can your Majesty be so embarrassed?"
"He's not embarrassed. Isn't he still shouting and killing the little princess?" Anping sneered.
Cui Zhuo looked at An Huajin with worried eyes, "Your Majesty's murder of loyal ministers and good generals, can't we just let it go? We should let the world know how wronged and unfair the An family has been because of a monarch like your Majesty. If so In the battle of Yuxueling, it was fine for the loyal ministers and generals to die at the hands of the enemy. How ironic that he died at the hands of the monarch to whom he was loyal?"
Shen Yuanzhi immediately said, "Of course we want everyone in the world to know."
Anping also nodded, "Yes, the people of the world should know your Majesty clearly. How can you make your ministers loyal to an emperor who plots against his ministers like this?"
An Huajin remained silent.
Shen Yuanzhi looked at An Huajin, "Xiao An'er, what are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?"
An Huajin said calmly, "I'm thinking about grandpa. If he knew this fact, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it. He is already in poor health. If he knew that the battle at Yuxueling eight years ago was between His Majesty, Zhang Zaifu, and Xu Jing, The joint actions resulted in the death of my father and brother in Yuxueling. My grandfather was afraid that he would vomit blood and become ill."
Shen Yuanzhi immediately shut up.
Yes, if the old King Nanyang knew about it, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood and fall ill. Even if His Majesty is being rude now, even if His Majesty wants to kill An Huajin because of the death of a beloved concubine, for the old King Nanyang, although he is disappointed Such a majesty, but in the end, the king is the king and the minister is the minister. After all, An Huajin's temperament was bullied and he bullied him back.
But once the old King Nanyang knew what happened back then, it would subvert his deep-rooted loyalty to the emperor. He would feel that he was loyal to such a monarch through life and death, his son, his two grandsons, and his son. Wife, four lives, it’s like the earth is falling apart, how can he bear it?
Cui Zhuo sighed, "Let's hide it from Grandpa An first! I suggest that Zhang Zaifu be taken out from the prison of the Ministry of Justice in Beijing and keep his life. One day, we can deal with the court and let the Yuxueling case be exposed to the public. We can't let it happen. The annals of history have praised His Majesty as a benevolent king, but how can he have even a trace of benevolence?"
An Huajin agreed, "This matter needs long-term consideration. The Ministry of Punishment's prison has always been very tightly guarded. It will not be easy to get him out."
Shen Yuanzhi immediately answered, "Gu Qingyan, let him..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, and for a moment, he was choked here. If you didn't know that the Gu family knew about it but didn't stop it, Shen Yuanzhi said that it would not be difficult for Gu Qingyan to get Zhang Zaifu out. He helped, he moved his fingers, it must not be too difficult, or in other words, although it is a bit difficult, it is not impossible with his ability and his power in Beijing.
However, things are different now.
He and An Huajin grew up together since childhood, and he knew An Huajin's temperament better than anyone else. She often couldn't get the sand out of her eyes, but for Gu Qingyan, he couldn't be too arbitrary about her thoughts. He has experienced how indulgent, tolerant and tolerant she is towards Gu Qingyan many times.
"Just him! I will send him a letter tomorrow and ask him to get Zhang Zaifu out of the Prison Prison and then send someone to Nanyang." An Huajin stood up and put on his cloak again. His tone was calm and his face was dull. Not much emotion, "A few days ago, he wrote a letter and said that he would accompany my seventh cousin to Wufeng Mountain. Half of the gold and silver in Wufeng Mountain would go to the Nanyang Palace to raise troops, and I would arrange for a group of Taoist priests in Wufeng Mountain. Calculate the days and use them. It won't be long before people arrive."
Shen Yuanzhi was surprised, "Is there such a thing? I seem to have heard of Wufeng Mountain, which is quite famous in the world. Why didn't I hear you talk about it a few days ago? When did this happen?"
"Ten days ago," An Huajin said. "At that time, I was busy clearing the hidden stakes and hidden lines in Nanyang. I felt that the matter was not urgent, so I put it aside."
An Huajin pointed at the letter in the box, "It's written in that pile of letters. It's very detailed. If you look through it, you'll understand. I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep first."
Shen Yuanzhi looked at the large black box on the desk. The box was open. There was a box full of letterheads, many of which were unopened and unread. He was silent and nodded, "Okay, you Go to sleep."
Cui Zhuo stood up and handed the hooded lamp to An Huajin, "The road is slippery, be careful."
Anhuajin nodded, took the lamp, and carried it out of the study.
After she left, Shen Yuanzhi, Cui Zhuo, and Anping looked at each other and were all very silent.
The affairs of the Gu family would be nothing if not for the happy relationship between An Huajin and Gu Qingyan. The Gu family is right to protect their lives wisely, but it happens that An Huajin and Gu Qingyan are happy with each other. I have been engaged to the Gu family for eight years, and with such a relationship, I can't just pretend that nothing happened after I know something like this.
It feels like a pimple on them, let alone An Huajin.
However, she didn't say anything. She explained all the news she knew from Zhang Chengze very calmly, and her tone didn't even waver at all.
Shen Yuanzhi came to the table, weighed the box, then reached out and picked up a letter in it, weighed it, clicked his tongue, and sighed with emotion, "Gu Qingyan..."
He put down the letterhead with Gu Qingyan's name on it. Even though An Huajin put all the letters together for others to read, he did not open Gu Qingyan's letterhead. Instead, he picked out all the information about An Yining. I opened the letters one by one and read them.
There is actually not much difference between An Yining's letter and Gu Qingyan's letter. An Yining also wrote about what happened in the capital, especially after the old King Nanyang came to the capital. He knew how to respect the king and how to treat his majesty. He met Wang An to know it. , so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so dear so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so;
Although he was seven or eight thousand miles away in Nanyang, he still heard about the major events happening in Beijing, but what he heard in detail was not the same as what An Yining said in detail in his letter. An Yining said it clearly and logically. He explained in great detail how his majesty sent Chu Yan to Wufeng Mountain without sending any soldiers, and how Gu Qingyan took him to Wufeng Mountain. Unexpectedly, in a twist of events, the old Taoist priest in Wufeng Mountain was once raped by his father and brother. My uncle and sister-in-law rescued them and happily agreed. Now, under the joint arrangement of my cousin and uncle, they and the gold and silver coefficient of Wufeng Mountain are transported to Nanyang Yunyun.
There was nothing important to read in An Yining's letter. Shen Yuanzhi read one letter and handed it to Cui Zhuo and Anping. The three of them spent most of an hour reading all the letters together.
After reading, Shen Yuanzhi pondered, "Let's arrange for the Taoist priests from Wufeng Mountain to go to Qixialing! It's quiet, undisturbed, has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is close to Lingquan Mountain and Xiuling Mountain. It's a good place to settle down, and they will probably do the same. Satisfied. ”
Cui Zhuo was already very familiar with Nanyang's geography and terrain, and thought Qixialing was good, so he nodded, "It's feasible."
Anping asked, "Calculating the schedule, these people should be arriving in Nanyang soon. Do we need to send someone to greet them?"
Shen Yuan said, "Send it! I will send someone to meet you along the way early tomorrow morning."
