"If he is really involved, I will never let him go and will definitely punish him severely. Our Dayan Dynasty will not tolerate foreign thieves!" The prince frowned and said solemnly to Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu's face softened slightly, it seemed that the prince still had a sense of proportion.
"Zhang Shuo committed suicide in prison. What about the guards guarding the prison? Why didn't Zhang Shuo be strictly monitored? Moreover, Zhang Shuo seemed to be very confused about the matter before the official heard about it. Now that he was in prison, he admitted his crime.
, I also want to clarify for Lord Chief Assistant that this change is not unpleasant."
If Zhang Shuo didn't know about it before, he definitely wouldn't have had time to arrange a backup plan. Someone must have passed the news to Zhang Shuo in Dali Temple, and whether this person was Zhang Shuo's friend or foe.
"The lower official thinks that there is a spy in Dali Temple, and this person must be in collusion with Daxing."
Gu Chengyu did not directly say that it was Xia Qing who did it, and there is still no direct evidence that it was Xia Qing.
If he said this, he would only make the prince think that he wanted to avenge his private revenge.
Because of his discord with Xia Qing, all the ministers in the court heard about it.
The prince glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then nodded. Regardless of whether Zhang Shuo was the mastermind of colluding with foreign countries, the person who delivered the news must have something to do with Daxing.
"This matter must be investigated strictly, and I will leave it to Mr. Kuang. Zhang Shuo committed suicide in Dali Temple. After all, it was his dereliction of duty. Your relationship with Xia Shoufu is known to both the court and the government. This matter, I
It is not appropriate to leave it to you, as it would be unavoidable for someone in the court to intervene in your public affairs to avenge private matters."
The prince opened the matter and said that it was not appropriate for Gu Chengyu to interfere in this matter, and he would not let Gu Chengyu interfere.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Because of this rumor, the official should avoid suspicion. In fact, there is no conflict between the official and Xia Shoufu. They are all rumors. Mr. Shoufu gave some advice to the official before, but it was rumored that he was
It is completely nonsense to talk about putting the inferior official to death just because he doesn't like it."
When Xia Qing attacked him before, it was all a secret frame-up. A low-level official and the first-rank chief minister of the current dynasty were incompatible with each other.
It is even more unlikely that the two of them would come into contact with each other on weekdays. Most of their most direct conflicts came from Min Feng. Because he blocked Min Feng's way, Xia Qing naturally wanted to eliminate him to make way for his disciples.
Of course, the fear of him growing up and eventually confronting him is also one of the factors.
In short, for the sake of his disciple's future, and for fear that Gu Chengyu would grow up and threaten his own status.
Qinglong Town
Xia Qing naturally wanted to get rid of Gu Chengyu quickly!
Although they both knew what was going on, Gu Chengyu was still respectful to Xia Qing when he saw her. Although Xia Qing was indifferent to Gu Chengyu, she did not embarrass her face to face.
After all, he is the chief minister, so it would be disrespectful to deal with him in person.
Therefore, if this was done behind the scenes, Gu Chengyu could tell lies with his eyes open.
The prince was a little surprised. The hand that was holding the tea bowl paused. He twitched the corner of his mouth. Anyway, he had learned Gu Chengyu's ability to tell lies with his eyes open before.
However, no matter how Gu Chengyu explained, it was impossible for him to hand over the interrogation of Xia Qing to Gu Chengyu.
"There is a national mourning these days, so this matter needs to be slowed down for a while. I have sent Kuang Zhaoying to investigate the matter carefully, and I hope to get a result soon. However, what do you think about the assassin? I have sent people
Go check the traces of these people, I think these people are probably sent by Daxing."
"I didn't expect that the other side had already invaded so many people. What on earth are those border officers doing?" Thinking of this, the prince was still a little angry.
He almost died today. With so many guards, these barbarians were allowed to break into the palace.
They have dared to attack the palace, which shows that there must be many spies breaking in.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he thought of his senior brother. He was probably going to the border in the next two days. Unfortunately, the emperor passed away a few days after the senior brother left. He didn't know when he would be able to return to the capital.
"Your Highness, what happened to Commander Zhou from Zao Fan? Have you caught him?" Gu Chengyu felt that this person was not the same as the man in black, but he didn't know who he was.
Speaking of this person, the prince's face suddenly turned ugly, "He escaped!"
Gu Chengyu was speechless. Didn't the auxiliary general He Chaoguang say that this person would never be able to escape?
"Originally we had captured this man, but reinforcements appeared from nowhere and rescued him. Those people are highly skilled in martial arts and are by no means ordinary people."
The prince was also a little frustrated. He had long heard that the general of the auxiliary country was brave and good at fighting, but he was lacking in strategy.
When it comes to fighting, I am never timid about charging into battle, but I am simple-minded and need advice from shrewd lieutenants and strategists. Rise in the King of Glory system
When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation.
"Have you sent someone to follow?" Gu Chengyu was a little anxious. If he could figure out where these people came from, he would naturally understand who they were from.
"I lost you!" The prince sighed helplessly again. I heard that it was He Chaoguang who followed him in person.
In fact, he felt that if it were someone else, there might be some clues.
Gu Chengyu sighed, he knew it.
He thought for a moment and then said: "Your Highness! The entire city is now under martial law, but I think it is still necessary to closely check every household around the imperial city. For example, in Xicheng and Nancheng, those places are so mixed that it is easy for lawless people to sneak in. Maybe
Something will be gained.”
"Do you suspect that those assassins will be hiding near the imperial city?" The prince also thought about it. After the assassination, he had to retreat quickly. These people must have been hiding in the capital before.
Otherwise, why would these people get the news and break into the palace not long after the death of the emperor?
Perhaps they had been hiding not far from the palace before, so it would be easier to move around.
Furthermore, before these people quickly retreated, the capital was already under martial law, but there is still no trace of the other party. Maybe these people are still near the palace.
Thinking of this, the prince felt that he was still in danger. What if these people came back again and were ready to kill him by surprise?
"Yes! Officials from the Department of Soldiers and Horses and the Department of Command and Envoys have put the capital under martial law. Unless these people have the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, it is impossible for them to get out of the imperial city. And there are a lot of these people. No matter how careful they are, they will definitely fail.
There are clues to be found.”
Gu Chengyu paused for a moment, but still didn't say the rest of his words. Is it possible that it's not just these foreign assassins who came to the capital secretly?
Why did Zhou Yuancong want to zao fan? Is it for himself? This is absolutely impossible. It is even less likely that he is colluding with Daxing, because they have fought before.
And just relying on the few people in the command department can't accomplish anything. There must be someone behind the scenes. This is just asking for directions.
The person behind him is really generous. It seems that there will be huge storms and waves in the capital in the past few days!
"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" the prince suddenly said.
