The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 125

Before Gu Zizhan's consciousness dissipated, the last image imprinted in his eyes was Chu Lan who was holding a long sword and breaking through the door.

The pain of separation was gently soothed, and the joy and powerlessness of the rest of her life melted into a peaceful and tolerant embrace, warming her from all directions.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and fell into darkness.

But in the sky, the dark clouds dissipated, and the day reappeared.

Ever since Emperor Tianshun ordered him to shut himself up and think about his mistakes that day, King Fu has been ill and kept it secret all the time. What he was waiting for was to take advantage of the great changes in the sky and lure Gu Zizhan into a trap.After procrastinating for such a long time, he had been holding on with one breath, but now Gu Zizhan hit him in the center with his kick. If Chu Lan hadn't arrived in time, he would have died already.But even if Chu Lan hanged him with a silver needle, he never woke up because the oil ran out and the lamp died.Those dead men who were guarding outside the gate brought by King Fu were also wiped out by the Phoenix Nirvana Army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Xuan intended to break through and escape, but was shot and killed by the Huang Nie army under the random arrows.

Daoist Priest Yuan Xu was severely injured by King Fu, and after smashing the blood-encrusted jade with all his might, he couldn't hold on anymore.He refused Chu Lan's treatment, and soon swallowed his last breath due to excessive blood loss.When he was about to leave, his face was rare and calm.

After receiving the news from Liu Mulan, Emperor Tianshun immediately decreed that King Fu conspired against him, and Lian Yongping led the dragon riders to surround the mansion of King Fu. Go straight inside to search for evidence.The wives, concubines and children in King Fu's courtyard were in a mess, most of them were unbelievable, some clamored to find Tianshun Emperor to make the decision, and some bluffed and wanted the officials to impeach Lian Yongping.

But the clown jumped the beam, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and soon there was no sound, and there was no more splash.

This rebellion came quickly and quickly subsided.The ministers and the clansmen in the court did not expect that King Fu, who had always seemed loyal and benevolent, would make such a bold and outrageous act.

After the news was released by Emperor Tianshun at the court meeting on the second day, some ministers who didn't believe it, just opened their mouths in twos and threes, and were scared to shut up by the evidence thrown by Emperor Tianshun.Hijacking the prince, colluding with the remnants of the Yuan party, and trying to change the world with demonic methods, this unimaginable and extremely sinister crime is really too appalling.

It's just that the victim, Gu Zizhan, who was the crown prince and would soon succeed the emperor, did not appear for a long time.

Emperor Tianshun was also silent about this, and did not reveal a word to the outside world.

As a result, people became more and more panicked.Some clan ministers who were close to King Fu in the past didn't dare to ask the palace for news, so they went to the houses of the clan nobles who were close to Gu Zizhan one after another, trying to get something out of it.An Guogong's Fu's family is one, and Gu Tao's mansion, who was promoted to the King of Han by Gu Zizhan not long ago, has become another place that everyone is vying for.

Gu Tao was miserable, so he packed himself together and hid in the house of his elder sister, Princess Rongze.

**********

Princess Rongze was married to the eldest grandson of the founding hero Feng Guogong, but in the early years, the father of the Li family was involved in the rebellion of the sixth prince Gu Zhu, and later his father was beaten by the old Feng Guogong himself. Death, it can be regarded as an explanation to Emperor Tianshun, and did not involve the misfortune in Fengguo's mansion.But Feng Guogong's whole family lost their sacred heart because of this.Li Jia Dalang witnessed these things when he was young. He was originally a very high-minded person, but since then he has become a complex character intertwined with cowardice and unwillingness.

For the sake of his grandson, old Feng Guogong pulled down his old face and proposed to Gu Qi who was still King Han at that time, and married Princess Rongze.But he never expected that after only one year, Gu Qi would be confiscated by Emperor Tianshun.Li Jia Dalang was hit hard, but his heart was higher than the sky, but his fate was thinner than paper.Depressed all day long, within a few years, the only daughter passed away early just after she turned two years old.

Princess Rongze only had one daughter at her knees, and she didn't want to spend all day fighting with those ineffective relatives in Duke Feng's mansion. After the old Duke Feng passed away, she simply took her daughter and invited Emperor Tianshun to make her own Another princess's mansion was opened, and the mother and daughter depended on each other.

After Gu Zizhan married Chu Lan, he intentionally wooed the younger generation of his clan. After getting close to Gu Tao, he naturally had more contacts with his only sister, Princess Rongze.The owner of Rongze County has a straightforward temper and is informal. He comes and goes, and has some friendship with Chu Lan.

Not long ago, Gu Zizhan decreed that from next year, the Imperial Academy would also start recruiting girls from the clan and nobles, which made Princess Rongze very happy.Seeing that her daughter was over twelve, she didn't want her daughter to be trapped in a deep boudoir and become an ignorant woman, so it was time to make plans for her.

Seeing the younger brother who came to hide from Qing Jing now, seeing that he looked bored but not worried, Princess Rongze couldn't help being curious, and asked him about Gu Zizhan.

Gu Tao couldn't believe it, and asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you bothering me?"

Princess Rongze glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, I wiped your snot when you were naked, and if you say a few words to bother you, you are really useless."

Gu Tao looked at the niece who was covering her mouth and snickering, and begged for mercy with a bitter face, "Sister, Yun'er is still here, can you save some face for my little brother? Besides, you don't want me to wear pants if I'm bare buttocks. What's the use of wiping your nose? I don't appreciate you doing this."

The girl of the Li family, whose nickname was Yun'er, giggled from the sidelines.

Princess Rongze lost his patience, interrupted him and said directly: "Just give me an accurate statement, how is your Highness?"

Gu Tao blinked, beckoned Princess Rongze to come closer, and whispered in her ear: "Sister, there is an opportunity now, if you seize it, it is not impossible to become a princess."

Princess Rongze paused, sent her daughter out, and asked, "What opportunity?"

Gu Tao chuckled a few times, and replied: "The mansion of Duke Feng is now controlled by the concubine. His Majesty has never allowed him to inherit the position of Duke, so obviously he doesn't like him. My niece like her The father who died early, at least when he was alive, still had the name of a grandson, otherwise he would not be able to climb into our family. Now, there is absolutely no reason for others to take advantage of it."

Princess Rongze's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Don't be secretive, what are your plans?"

Gu Tao no longer concealed it, and said straight to the point: "You can ask His Majesty for an order, and Yun'er will take over the title."

Princess Rongze was quite surprised, quickly covered her mouth, and lowered her voice, "How can a woman be a prince?"

Gu Tao laughed loudly, "Why not? Didn't you see Uncle Zhongyi? That's the best example. Your Majesty and Your Highness have now mobilized all the civil and military officials in the court. Next, it's the turn of the clan." Yes. Although you are a young bird, you can just give His Majesty a ladder, and you can also divert everyone's attention. Even if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, when His Highness decides, you will definitely miss your kindness."

Princess Rongze You couldn't believe it, Gu Tao had already stood up, "My little brother is only your elder sister, and only Yun'er is my niece, how could I harm you."

Princess Rongze was obviously a little tempted. Seeing that he was about to leave, she grabbed his sleeve and paused for a while before speaking, "According to what you said, Your Highness is safe and well?"

Gu Tao snorted, "Ziwei Destiny, are you just kidding? Don't worry, my sister-in-law sent a message early in the morning, everything is as usual, you and I can rest assured!"

**********

After having nothing to do for almost half a month, the courtiers who were busy inquiring about the emperor's house every day finally encountered a major event.

Princess Rongze publicly wrote to Emperor Tianshun, requesting that her daughter be recognized as the eldest grandson of Duke Feng, and inherit her father's position as the grandson.In the end, she was a little apprehensive and didn't dare to directly propose that her daughter inherit the dukedom, but even so, it didn't make much difference.

Whether a woman can be regarded as an heir, and whether she can inherit the title, became a hot topic in the court all of a sudden, and successfully diverted everyone's excessive attention from Gu Zizhan.

Princess Rongze's unexpected move also made Emperor Tianshun think highly of her niece who had always kept a low profile.Although it's not easy to express your opinion directly at the moment, as Gu Tao said, he has received their favor in his heart.

In such chaos and noise, Gu Zizhan woke up.

The first thing she did after waking up was to go to Hekun Palace alone, wearing single clothes and carrying thorns on her back, to plead guilty to Emperor Tianshun and the Empress.

After really dying once, Gu Zizhan no longer wants to lie to this couple who gave her infinite tolerance and trust.

Chu Lan watched her slowly go away, and stood waiting outside the Hekun Palace.

That day, the gate of Hekun Palace was closed for a long time, and everyone was isolated from the steps of the main hall by the dragon knight guards with knives. No one knew what happened inside.Finally, when the sun was about to set, Gu Zizhan pushed open the palace gate and walked out slowly.

Her figure became thinner and thinner, like a green bamboo, bound and tired by the loose robe, holding her back from falling.The moment Chu Lan met her, Gu Zizhan's body became weak, unable to hold on any longer, he fell into her arms.

On the second day, Emperor Tianshun rarely left court.

For ten days in a row, all the officials failed to see the emperor at the court meeting, and they couldn't help feeling panic.

Ten days later, when a group of courtiers came to the outside of the main hall, Li Ruoyu said sharply "Going up", the gate of the main hall slowly opened, and the courtiers who filed in stood still. The guard of honor of the crown prince who followed.

No one who breathed a sigh of relief knew what kind of turmoil had happened between the father and son in just a few days.

His Majesty the Emperor, who came slowly, was getting older, and beside him was the tall and handsome Prince Qing Juan, who had a bright red scar on the center of his brow.

The first will of Emperor Tianshun after returning to court was to postpone the succession ceremony of the new emperor.

The courtiers who had just let go of their hearts suddenly raised their hearts to their throats again, and looked at Gu Zizhan one after another.

Gu Zizhan's face was calm, his somewhat thin face was as warm and moist as before, without any waves.

Everyone was complaining incessantly, the emperor aloft, what was going on in his heart?How can it be so difficult to keep quiet all day long and give them big tricks, and want to be clean and fishy?

Others, on the other hand, think about it in their hearts.Could it be that Emperor Tianshun was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince and wanted to choose someone else?

A few days later, several princes who stayed in their respective fiefs wrote letters one after another, expressing their miss for their elder brother, imploring Emperor Tianshun to allow the children of each family to enter the palace and serve the emperor instead of their father.

Emperor Tianshun didn't approve, but he didn't refute it either. This matter was put on hold and discussed later.

But for many people, this is a signal.Perhaps, Emperor Tianshun's mind really changed.
