The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1184
In fact, it's not that Gu Chengyu is unwilling to guard the border, but if he goes to the border due to his rank, he can't become the main general no matter what.

If you are that deputy general, you will be controlled by others, and you will inevitably be tied up in doing things, so what's the point of going?
Furthermore, the crown prince was already afraid of him, so he would never let him monopolize military power.The prince knew that the emperor did not choose him in the end, so he was always worried.

If he gets the military power, if he is unsatisfactory in the future, he will help others change hands, and the prince's noble days will come to an end.

This is because knowing this point, the prince will never let Gu Chengyu hold the military power, so Gu Chengyu has no interest in guarding the border.

What's more, the military officer of the Dayan Dynasty had a lower status than the civil servants. He was stupid to go to the bitter cold places like the border to suffer.

The prince's face froze, but he was actually thinking about the overall situation.Gu Chengyu is capable of writing and martial arts, but there are unscrupulous generals guarding the border, how can he feel at ease?
It's just that Gu Chengyu's refusal just now is already obvious, so it's not appropriate to mention this matter now.

He took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "Let's discuss this matter later! The most important thing now is to interrogate those assassins and Zhou Congyuan. Let's go! Let's meet Zhou Congyuan first."

The prince stood up from the armchair, then flicked his sleeves and walked in front.

Gu Chengyu stared intently at the back of the other party for a while, and then moved up to keep up.He thought while walking, originally he didn't plan to see that person in the past few days, but he changed his mind now.

The crown prince brought Gu Chengyu and the guards to the Yamen of Dali Temple. Gu Chengyu looked at the heavily guarded gate ahead, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he broke into Dali Temple at night.

It's a pity that although he was not involved in that incident, Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing still died.

In fact, these two people really died unjustly, but who made these two people become victims of the game of the superior?

So what if he is already a member of the third rank, isn't he still being pinched in the palm of his hand?If it can be calculated successfully, it proves that it is not strong enough.

Seeing the jailer nodding and bowing to the prince, saluting respectfully, and then quickly stepping forward to unlock the chain, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel emotional.

Power is so important, which strengthens his determination to climb up.

After the chain was released, Gu Chengyu followed the prince into the dark and damp prison.

There were dark red dried blood all over the railing of the cell. The prisoners in the cell looked numbly at Gu Chengyu and others who had just entered, without a trace of expression in their eyes.

There are not many prisoners in the prison, after all, it is the place where criminal officials are detained.Even if people related to it need to be detained together, so many cells are not satisfied.

Gu Chengyu looked at the prisoner with disheveled hair, bloodstained body, and ragged clothes, and couldn't help feeling that there were not many loyal ministers and generals who died in this Dali Temple, and the officialdom has always been so cruel.

After taking a step forward, they suddenly found a thin figure facing away from them in the cell on the right.

Hearing footsteps, the man quickly turned around and looked over.Gu Chengyu took a closer look and found that it was Xia Qing.

At this time, the other party was also taken aback when they saw them, but Gu Chengyu looked him up and down, and felt that the old man didn't suffer much in prison.

After entering this prison, the official uniform will naturally be taken off, not to mention the official hat, which has to be taken off a long time ago.At this moment, the other party's snow-white jacket was a little messy, and there were some creases on the fine snow satin.

The usual meticulously combed hairstyle is also a little frizzy. Even though this appearance is a bit embarrassing, it is much better than those prisoners in the prison who were beaten to pieces and covered in injuries.

After all, he is a first-rank official, and the prison boss and jailer will never dare to offend him before he is convicted.After all, Xia Qing's followers are all over the court, if the prince doesn't pursue the matter afterwards and releases Xia Qing from the cell, then their lives will end.

Seeing Gu Chengyu's scrutinizing gaze, Xia Qing immediately sneered, and Gu Chengyu could see that this was a provocation to him.

Right!The prince is now unclear about how to deal with Xia Qing, Xia Qing does have some confidence.It's just that the person locked in the cell is not Gu Chengyu, and I don't know why Xia Qing is so confident.

However, at the price of his disciple's life, the other party didn't know if he would feel guilty in his heart.

Suddenly, a figure in a white tunic rushed over, but just as he rushed halfway, he was blocked by iron railings.The chain he was clasping hit the railing, making a crisp knocking sound.

"Your Highness! I beg Your Highness to be merciful and spare the official. The official is really innocent, please learn from Your Highness!"

A stern pleading sounded in everyone's ears, Gu Chengyu put down his right hand touching his waist, and looked at this man with disheveled hair and flustered expression full of pleading.

"What are you doing? You dare to offend His Highness the Crown Prince? Be more honest." Seeing this scene, the prison chief was so frightened that his heart was trembling, and he hurried forward to scold him.

Gu Chengyu didn't need to look much to recognize this person as Zuo Tongzheng You Shaofeng, Secretary of the General Administration.That day the crown prince imprisoned You Shaofeng and Xia Qing in the Dali Temple because of his intercession.

Daoist Tianji was recommended by Xia Qing. This person was very close to Xia Qing on weekdays, and at that time he pleaded for Xia Qing. The crown prince was in a fit of anger, so he naturally sent him to prison together.

You Mansion has already been searched, and no evidence of collaborating with the enemy was found, but there is a lot of gold and silver in the mansion.Needless to say, I knew it was a bribe.

I heard that many criminal evidences of him extorting bribes were found yesterday, and later many wealthy businessmen came to the Yamen to testify that he forced them to be filial.In short, the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and if his political opponents don't take action at this time, when will it be?

Unless you have been clean and honest all your life, and there are no dudes in your family, it is very easy to be caught.Even that trivial backyard affair can also set you up for lax housekeeping.

Even if Xia Qing could come out safe and sound, You Shaofeng couldn't get out of this prison.Those political enemies could not move Xia Qing at this time, but they must be able to deal with You Shaofeng.

And You Shaofeng is still able to complain angrily at this moment, probably because Kuang Zhaoying from Dali Temple hasn't had time to interrogate him yet.

Otherwise, the opponent's image at this moment is not much better than that dead dog.

When You Shaofeng saw the cell boss yelling at him aggressively with a whip, he couldn't help but hate in his heart.

He is a fourth-rank official. In the past, when the lowest jailers saw him, they were not even qualified to look at him.

But now the other party still dares to yell at him, it's really hateful to be bullied by dogs.

He has thought about it for the past two days. They are not tortured every day like other prisoners in the prison. Those jailers still provide them with food and drink. It seems that the prince does not intend to delve into this matter. .

Then after he goes out, he must make these people look good.
