"You said it was Gu's choice, right?" Zhu Jiyan's eyes showed a trace of confusion.
"Who knows right or wrong until the end?" The old eunuch shook his head gently and said: "I only know that the prince still has to think deeply about such a crucial issue."
"I have been thinking about it all the time these days." Zhu Jiyan sighed, sat back in the armchair and said: "Actually, I am not only worried about Liu Zijin and Zhu Meigui, but also the death of the old woman... This is also the day for Wang.
There is a trump card that he has been hiding, but I can't ignore it, but I can't ignore it; and Ruyi..." Zhu Jiyan said with unforgettable pain on his face: "Gu Ye also has a mouth to speak and can't argue with."
"It's really hard for the prince to explain these two things." The old eunuch sighed: "If the old concubine hadn't suddenly secretly written a letter to the emperor to falsely accuse the prince, we wouldn't be so anxious to get rid of her. As for Empress Ruyi... In fact, she was
The prince's lover was occupied by the old prince, and now that the prince is reunited with her, it is just a reunion..."
"But the people in the world will not understand Gu," Zhu Jiyan said with melancholy eyes: "They will say that Gu killed his aunt's mother and took his concubine's mother, and they will pour dirty water on Gu. As the saying goes, three people become tigers, and everyone's mouth makes gold... Gu
I simply can’t explain that if the emperor really thinks that I am an inhumane beast, everything will be over..."
"The King of Han and King Zhao can explain it to the Emperor for you," the old eunuch said softly.
"They are too far away from Shanxi, so their defense for me may not be convincing." Zhu Jiyan shook his head and said: "And in the eyes of the world, we are the same species. The more they say on my behalf, the darker the picture becomes.
." After a pause, Zhu Jiyan sneered and said: "And based on Gu's observation, these two people are cold-natured people. Now I have no use value and only cause trouble to them. Can they sincerely help me?
?It’s still a question.”
"Actually, the old slave has also had this worry for a long time," the old eunuch said: "Both of them are direct princes, they regard themselves as noble, and they may not like the prince. The previous warm relationship is probably just for use, and they are afraid that they will do it after taking advantage of it.
The prince changed his face."
"It's not like they just ignore me," Zhu Jiyan sneered, "If they push me to a dead end, I won't help them anymore. We will all be finished together by then." After speaking, he sighed: "But they won't
Guan Gu, does he have a bad reputation..."
Joo Ji-yeon wants to be a respected King of Jin, not a King of Jin who turns into a street rat.
"Only Wang Xian, a member of the crown prince and an imperial envoy, can clear my name and stop everyone from talking." Zhu Jiyan's eyes gradually became focused, as if he was making up his mind and said: "That's it, actually.
Following the prince makes people feel more at ease than following the king of Han..."
"That's true." The old eunuch nodded and said softly: "But if this happens, what will Zhang Chun and the others do?
When Zhu Jiyan heard this, he glanced at him. The old eunuch lowered his head and said, "Old minister, I understand."
"Do it beautifully." Zhu Jiyan stood up and said in a soft and cold voice: "This old guy dares to threaten me, he will die without mercy."
"If his death can save the prince and generals, and keep the officials alive, he will definitely be smiling." The old eunuch took a step down the stairs first and raised his arm.
"Let him bring peace to Shanxi." Zhu Jiyan said lightly, held the old eunuch's arm down the stairs, and disappeared into the Star-Zhaing Tower...
I don't know when the snow stopped again, and the sky was already bright. In the sedan chair going back to the train station, Wang Xian was also frowning in deep thought, but he was not as beautiful as His Highness Prince Jin...
He was not worried about the prince's letter. In fact, he was thousands of miles away from the capital, so how could he have time to ask the prince to write a letter? Even if he had time, the prince would not write such a fatal thing due to his cautious character.
So there is only one truth. The letter was a forgery, but it was fake. Even Zhu Jiyan could tell the difference... Speaking of which, Wang Xian had such a talent around him, and he had to thank Zhou Xin and Zhou Jitai. Back then, Zhou Xin had Gui Shou Zhang forge it.
The clerk of the Zhejiang Dusi deceived the navy on the Qiantang River. After the deed was completed, Zhang Zhang became the suspect of the Jin Yiwei, so he had no choice but to hide in Tibet. Later, when Wang Xian returned to Hangzhou to take the imperial examination, Zhou Xin took this person
I recommended it to him, firstly, by following Wang Xian, he no longer has to worry about Jin Yiwei; secondly, this kind of strange person is indeed of great use.
Even a gentleman like Zhou Xin knows that sometimes a hundred good things are worse than one evil. When he comes to a guy like Wang Xian who comes from the market, his tricks are at ease and he can use them to his fullest... It's just that because he has a case on his back, he has to
He hid among the guards and never showed up.
But he had already been working. The document that Wang Xian and others used to go to Datong incognito was written by a ghost. As expected, it went smoothly all the way. The government checked it many times, but it was not found to be a forgery.
.This time Wang Xian asked him to forge a letter from the prince again, and he also deceived the king of Jin...
Moreover, there are many crooked ways in the world, which are beyond the imagination of caged birds like the King of Jin and the old eunuch who grew up in deep palaces. The ink used by Ghost Hands to write letters was mixed with thyme powder. When he first wrote it, he saw that
There is nothing unusual, but after a month or two, the handwriting will blur into a ball, and nothing can be seen clearly... So unless King Jin presents the letter to the emperor now, he will take it out and read it after a while.
, you will find that it has turned into a splash-ink painting...
But Wang Xian was not satisfied at all. To be honest, the peace negotiation with Zhu Jiyan in the Zhaixing Tower, even though he took the initiative, made him very uncomfortable. This peace negotiation had no morals at all, which made him very uncomfortable.
In front of the King of Jin, there is no moral advantage. Although Wang Xian did not think that he was a good person before, he never thought that he was a bad person, but from now on, he did not dare to say that he was not a bad person... Zhu Meigui, Long Yao
Those people were still waiting for him to get justice; Liu Zijin was still waiting for him to get rid of the King of Jin to take revenge; his brothers were also waiting for him to get rid of the real culprit, but he just made peace with the big bad guy.
Recalling how high-spirited and fearless he was when he returned to Taiyuan the day before yesterday, how ironic this was... But this was the most rational choice. In order to save the crown prince and grandson, and to leave Shanxi alive, he had no choice but to let Zhu Jiyan go.
Turn around and be complicit with them to create an outcome acceptable to everyone...
What's the result? It's just that the accomplice became the scapegoat. The prince was cleared of charges, the king of Jin and the general were able to escape trial. All three parties were happy. Who cares about the poor scapegoat...
Politics is really a sticky, smelly mess. Whoever gets it is dirty, and no one should laugh at anyone who is not clean.
Thinking of this, Wang Xian suddenly felt nauseous, and his stomach was churning. He ordered people to stop the sedan, put his head out of the sedan, and started to vomit violently... He bent over and vomited violently, but he was very clear in his heart. He was definitely not disgusted by himself.
He vomited. From last night to this morning, he only drank three glasses of wine and one sip of tea from King Jin...
‘The wine is poisonous, Wang Xian’s eyes are splitting. As expected, this lunatic has poisoned the wine.
Boundless fear struck him, and in the next moment, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground...
When Wang Xian regained consciousness slightly, he found that he was already lying on the bed, next to Gu Xiaolian whose eyes were swollen from crying, and Wu Wei and the others were standing beside him with worried faces.
He felt like his whole body was on fire, and then fell into an ice cellar. He opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came out, and he couldn't even move his fingers.
"The official is awake." Seeing him open his eyes, Gu Xiaolian and others were so surprised that they all moved their faces towards them. Wang Xian couldn't care about them, he used all his strength to fight with his body.
He was struggling. After a while, he barely recovered his vision and hearing, but he was still unable to move anywhere except his eyelids.
Gu Xiaolian and others soon noticed something strange about him, and they all turned their attention to Dr. Wu.
"The one among the adults may be the legendary poison," Wu Wei said slowly: "It is said that hundreds of years ago, poison was prevalent in Miao territory, but now it is very rare, and it is even extinct in the Central Plains. If I hadn't seen it,
I’ve read ancient books on this subject, but I still can’t recognize it…”
"Stop talking nonsense," Erhei said angrily, "Hurry up and detoxify."
"I can't figure it out." Wu Wei shook his head.
"Then go to the doctor"
"Other doctors are useless. Even my father here can't do anything." Wu Weidao: "This is the characteristic of poison. Only the person who poisoned the world can cure it, because no one knows what kind of poison he used.
What kind of grass is used to breed insects? As long as you mix the wrong antidote, the poisoned person will die immediately."
"Then hurry up and find the person who poisoned us," Erhei, Zhou Yong, Xu Huaiqing and others said in unison.
"How to find it?" Wu Wei spread his hands: "We all know that King Jin poisoned him, but can we see him?"
"You have to break in even if you don't see it. You can't just wait." As soon as Wang Xian lay down, his brothers seemed to be leaderless. Erhei and Xu Huaiqing were about to gather their brothers and force them to break into Donghua Gate.
"Let's wait." It was not Wu Wei who spoke, but Mo Wen, who had been silent. He said softly: "Just now, the Jin army that had been surrounding the camp withdrew."
"What do you mean?" Several people were stunned. King Jin should have strengthened his troops to surround this place at this time. Why did he withdraw his troops instead?
"So wait and see what their next move will be." Wu Wei also supported Mo asked: "Although the adults can't move, the situation has improved. Let's calm down a little. The more times like this, the less likely we are to be chaotic.
The two of them talked hard and calmed everyone down. What followed was an anxious wait. Erhei and Xu Huaiqing were pacing back and forth in the room with their hands behind their backs. Zhou Yong kept going in and out, asking about the latest situation outside, which made Wu Wei and Mo
After asking two questions, I became upset and had no choice but to close my eyes and not see anything.
It felt like I had been waiting for a long time, but in fact it was just time for tea. Zhou Yong ran in quickly and said, "The old eunuch Liang is here. He said that the prince heard that you are hungover and sent him to deliver sobering soup."
"Hangover motherfucker" Xu Huaiqing jumped up, clenched his fists loudly and said: "Let him come in first, I will beat him all over the face."
