The first thousand one hundred and forty-five chapters to return to Beijing
"Eunuch Gao came to the border, did you encounter any difficulties on the way?" Gu Chengyu thought of Prince Gong and Prince Jing, who actually arrived at Yuhe Pass with such a small number of people. It can be seen that those two people did not want to face the emperor head-on now.
"It was only when I came to the border that I learned that the rebel Prince Gong and Prince Jing had already fought. This Prince Gong is really arrogant. But Prince Jing is also very powerful. He was able to defend Fengqing Mansion. It's really surprising."
Eunuch Gao glanced at Gu Chengyu with an inquiring gaze, and saw that Gu Chengyu was just serving tea and drinking tea with a light smile on his face. His eyes looking at him were even more profound, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He didn't dare to underestimate this young man. He was able to reach the third rank at such a young age. He was no ordinary person. He had better not show off his little thoughts in front of others.
Originally, he wanted to make some insinuations and ask for some unknown information, so that he could bring it back to the capital and sell it at a good price. But this man's eyes clearly understood his intentions, so how could he dare to ask any more questions?
"I have drafted a memorial on this matter before, and it has been sent to the capital now. The details of this must be explained to the emperor in detail. The situation at the border is turbulent, and the capital must respond as soon as possible."
As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, especially eunuchs. Although they are not the court officials, they serve in the palace and they may give you small shoes one day.
"It turns out that Mr. Gu has already submitted a letter to the court, so our family is relieved. We came to Yuheguan thanks to your support. Prince Gong's army is guarding several important roads. If you hadn't sent people to support us, we would have
I still don’t know if I can get to Yuheguan.” Eunuch Gao smiled and cupped his hands towards Gu Chengyu.
"Eunuch Gao is serious. Prince Gong doesn't dare to go too far now. The snow has become lighter in the past two days and there are signs of stopping. Moreover, the New Year is approaching. Although it can't catch up with the New Year's Eve, it will catch up with the New Year's Eve at least.
Why don't we start back to Beijing tomorrow on the second day of the lunar month, I don't know what the public will do."
Gu Chengyu felt a little anxious about returning home, looking forward to returning to the capital as soon as possible. He had not seen his relatives for more than two months, so naturally he wanted to.
"Our family is quite casual. Mr. Gu will just make arrangements." Eunuch Gao rubbed his thighs, showing a bit of exhaustion in his expression.
"I have already arranged a guest room. Eunuch Gao is tired from traveling and traveling, so why not take a short break and wait for Eunuch Gao to receive the wind and wash away the dust in the evening."
Eunuch Gao nodded quickly, "My old arms and legs are almost torn apart in the carriage. I really need to rest, so I'll bother you, sir."
"Eunuch Gao, you're welcome." Gu Chengyu winked, and Ming Yan put the purse into Eunuch Gao's hand. The man took the purse and squeezed it secretly, and the smile on his face immediately became brighter.
After Gu Chengyu waited for Eunuch Gao to leave, he quickly called Ming Yan.
"Brother, have you settled down?" As soon as the imperial edict was read out, Gu Chengyu sent someone to pick up Yin Kun from the prison.
"It's settled. Mr. Yin also said that he would like to ask you to come and talk about it now." Ming Mo just came over from Yin Kun's place. After Yin Kun freshened up, Ming Mo came to report to his lord.
"lead the way"
"Jin Yu" Yin Kun heard the sound of opening the door and quickly stood up and shouted to Gu Chengyu.
"Senior brother, I have really wronged you these days. The emperor finally understood everything and restored your innocence."
The two sat down. Gu Chengyu took a look at Yin Kun and saw that he was newly dressed, with a bit of joy on his face, and his mental outlook was much better than the previous few days.
Also, although there is good food and drink in prison, it is different from being free after all. Plus, with one’s life in danger, one cannot relax.
"Thanks to you this time, otherwise I will definitely not escape this time." Yin Kun sighed, then suddenly stood up and bowed to Gu Chengyu.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Gu Chengyu was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him.
"Senior brother, you are upright and not afraid of slanted shadows. You can walk upright and sit upright. How can the emperor wrong you?" Gu Chengyu helped Yin Kun sit down again. Yin Kun's behavior made him a little embarrassed.
"Don't be modest. If you hadn't collected the evidence, I would have really been doomed this time. The emperor is far away in the capital, and is being instigated by interested people. Coupled with the so-called ironclad evidence, you have to believe it even if you don't believe it."
Yin Kun didn't understand that Gu Chengyu was trying to comfort him. Gu Chengyu really deserved the credit this time.
"Did the Emperor say what to do with Qi Huanyu and the others?" Yin Kun hated Qi Huanyu and the others with all his heart. Naturally, he wanted to know what happened to this person.
"It was not stated clearly, but it was said that another official would be sent to take over. I am your junior brother, and I originally wanted to avoid suspicion. This will just stop those Youyou's mouths."
Gu Chengyu wanted someone to take over. He didn't want to deal with these nonsense anymore.
"Send someone to take over. Are you not the chief general of Yuheguan now? If you send officials here, will they be temporary or permanent? Is the emperor going to call you back to Beijing now?"
Yin Kun was a little surprised. Although he was a little dissatisfied with his junior brother becoming a military commander, this was the emperor's order, and who could disobey it? Jin Yu also said that it was temporary, so he felt relieved.
It's just that Jin Yu has just arrived at the border. The emperor is about to summon people to Prince Gong in the capital. Doesn't the emperor intend to let Jin Yu take action? This is not the emperor's style.
"The emperor ordered us to set off immediately, so I plan to pack up today and set off tomorrow. Senior brother, will you go back to the capital with me, or will you return later when you have recovered?"
Gu Chengyu thought of Yin Kun's mental and physical exhaustion during this period, so he hurried on, fearing that he wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Of course I'm going back with you. I've had enough of being detained here. It's even colder than the capital." In fact, Yin Kun also wants to return to the capital as soon as possible. Information at the border is too closed and the delivery of information is even slower. With the current situation in the capital, he
I heard it from Gu Chengyu.
"Well, senior brother, let's pack it up. Let's set out together tomorrow. I have told senior brother before about the emperor's poisoning, and senior brother needs to make plans early."
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but remind him that he felt it was unlikely that the emperor would find an antidote.
Yin Kun sighed deeply, "The world is really unpredictable. I don't know when Dayan will settle down. Senior brother is still a little undecided. The princes are still young. As for Prince Gong, I am not optimistic about it."
Gu Chengyu glanced at Yin Kun, why didn't he mention Prince Jing?
"We senior brothers don't have to hide anything when we speak. Of course the emperor will make the eldest prince the crown prince, and he will be the orthodox heir after all." Gu Chengyu was reminding, and more importantly, testing.
"The eldest prince is talented, but he is too young. I don't know if he can stand up to Prince Gong and the others. There are too many variables."
Prince Gong's rebellion has a somewhat bad reputation. Prince Jing has not yet taken action, but he is also aware of Prince Jing's ambitions. Furthermore, Prince Jing is very resourceful and it is a suitable choice to put aside the previous disputes with Jin Yu.
