Prosperous advisors

Chapter 119 The model in the boudoir, the study trial (4)
Mu Qingyi took out a sealed envelope, and Zheng Wei got up to take it.After carefully looking at the envelope to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, he stepped forward and presented it to Murong Xie. Murong Xie forgot to take a look at Mu Qingyi, and lowered his head to open the envelope.There wasn't much handwriting on the thin letter paper, but the content made Murong Xie's expression more serious.Looking at Mu Qingyi, he said, "Murong Yu and the Nanjun Palace jointly framed the Gu family?" As soon as these words came out, Princess Zhi and Zheng Wei couldn't help but change their colors.Even a powerful prince like Murong Xie didn't know what happened to the Gu family back then.As if overnight, the evidence of Gu Muyan's treason suddenly came into Hua Huang's hands, and without even investigating, Gu's family was already imprisoned.Before Murong Xie even had time to think about his position, the crown prince had been deposed, and the Gu family had also been destroyed.Even after a few years, looking back, Murong Xie still felt that it was a sudden dream.In a blink of an eye, as soon as he became the crown prince, a huge family was extinct.That was also the first time in Murong Xie's life that he truly felt the horror and importance of imperial power.

It is true that Murong Yu was the last beneficiary of the Gu family incident.Even because there were rumors that it was related to the Pingnan County Palace at this time, and the rapid integration of the Pingnan County Palace and the Pingnan Palace, many people secretly speculated whether it was Murong Yu who contributed to the trouble.After all, no one really knows whether Gu Muyan was wronged or really treasonous.But if this incident was a conspiracy brewed by his good brother from the beginning, then they seem to have really underestimated this sixth brother from the beginning to the end?
Such ruthlessness and forbearance really make people feel frightened.

"Who the hell are you? What is your relationship with the Gu family?" Murong Xie asked in a deep voice.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "I have nothing to do with the Gu family. But I admire Gu Xiang's demeanor very much, and I happened to find some people disliked, and I just happened to know the whole story of this matter."

Murong Xie frowned, "Why should I trust you?"

Mu Qingyi smiled and said: "These are all confessed by Princess Gong herself. Such a method... tsk tsk, I am amazed to see it. Although this kind of person is caught off guard for a while, if he calms down, he will be cured." Does His Royal Highness have the confidence to win against him?"

Murong Xie remained silent. If he had thought that he and Murong Yu were at least equal in strength before, he was not so sure now.If this matter is true, the Gu family was completely destroyed because of Murong Yu, and he absolutely needs to re-evaluate this sixth brother.

Zheng Wei looked at the letterhead that Murong Xie put down, and his expression was also very ugly.It took a while to look at Mu Qingyi and said, "Master Zhang wants to take advantage of this incident to bring down Prince Gong? To rehabilitate the Gu family?"

Mu Qingyi shook her head leisurely and said, "No, it's a good thing if you can rehabilitate the Gu family. However, it's best for Prince Zhi not to use this matter to attack Prince Gong." Why?" Although the Gu family is dead, the Gu family's prestige among the people for several generations is not low.If it is proved that the Gu family was wronged and was still framed by Murong Yu, then even Hua Huang would have to succumb to the backlash and remarks of the people.Murong Yu felt that if he didn't die, he would be completely abolished.

Mu Qingyi shook her head and smiled, "Could it be that His Royal Highness Zhi Wang really thinks that Murong Yu can kill the Gu family so easily?"

Murong Xie changed color slightly, Mu Qingyi looked at him with a smile and nodded, "That's right... it's not just Murong Yu who wants the Gu family and the prince to die, but... Your Majesty. I suspect... Prince Gong really saw this." Only then dare to use such a clumsy method to frame the Gu family."

"If that's the case, Prince Gong's move is too risky." It's okay if it succeeds in framing a country's prime minister for treason. I am afraid that I will never get up again for the rest of my life.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, why don't you say that he has grasped His Majesty's mind accurately?" Emperor Hua has been in power for more than 20 years, and in the early years he still respected a courtier who had worked hard like Gu Muyan.But the longer you stay in power, the less you tend to listen to people's advice.If there are still people who insist on persuading this and that from time to time, once or twice may be nothing. After a long time, the emperor will inevitably develop a bit of disgust towards such courtiers.Now that the world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, Emperor Hua feels that he does not need anyone to point fingers at him as an emperor. If there is an opportunity at this time, one can imagine what will happen to the Gu family.

Zheng Wei was silent.

Murong Xie asked: "If so, how will Mr. Zhang deal with him?"

Mu Qingyi smiled and said: "Actually, the prince doesn't have to worry too much. These things that Prince Gong did... Prince Zhi thinks His Majesty knows?" Murong Xie hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said: "Father...should know stop?"

Mu Qingyi nodded with a smile and said, "Since knowing that Prince Gong has such methods, does Prince Zhi think that His Majesty will be on guard against Prince Gong? If Prince Gong's methods are used on the prince and the Gu family or on the princes, that's all. Will these methods be used on His Majesty one day?"

Murong Xie frowned and said: "Looking at the appearance of the father, it doesn't seem like he is guarding against the sixth younger brother." Just now he demoted Zhu Yunpin's position, demoted Zhu Mingyan, and immediately gave him a marriage to the Li family.There is no point of guarding against Murong Yu.

"That's wrong." Mu Qingyi said with a smile: "Your Majesty will naturally be on guard against His Highness Prince Gong. But he will not let His Highness Prince Gong fall down immediately."

"Why?" Murong Xie asked.

"If Prince Gong falls...Fu Wang's biological mother was born in a poor family, and she has no talent herself. The third prince is good at martial arts, but not good at fighting. The fifth prince has a loose personality and mediocre talents. His Highness Seven is a compatriot with Prince Gong, and his life and death are uncertain now. His Highness You are still young, and it will take a few years of training to be successful. In this way, if King Gong falls, won't it become the dominant family of King Zhi?"

Murong Xie suddenly felt a bit bitter in his mouth, "Father is not only guarding against the sixth younger brother, but also... guarding against this king."

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why is this so strange? Your Majesty is already in the year of destiny, but you princes are in the prime of life. If Your Majesty is still in his thirties, he will never be so suspicious "When people get old, they are always afraid of old age, especially those in high positions. They have already seen all the ugliness in the world, and they are even more worried that their younger sons will seize power from them.The Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles, Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parents and Teachers, these dogmas are used to restrain ordinary people, and have never been able to control the royal family.Throughout the ages, there are countless emperors who have killed their sons and fathers, killed their brothers and slaughtered their brothers, how can they not be afraid?
"My lord, what can you do?" Murong Xie asked indifferently with a stiff expression.Mu Qingyi tilted her head and showed a leisurely smile. Under the faint candlelight, she actually showed a bit of innocence that a teenager of this age should have, but what she said had nothing to do with innocence.This kind of surprise made the three people in front of them feel that the young man in front of them didn't look like a living creature, but like a ghost crawling out of the underworld.
