He didn't know this person very well.
He thought Gu Beilin was brave and simple, confident and motivated.
But in fact, maybe he is not so confident, maybe he is also sensitive and fragile under his bravery.
Maybe, he doesn't necessarily want to be what Qin Qin and Gu Ming want him to be.
"Gu Ming." Qin Qin played with the envelope in his hand and said slowly: "What if, I mean what if, Gu Beilin can't become a qualified emperor of the Yu clan? What will happen to you?"
"What?" Gu Ming didn't react for a moment. He covered his head and asked confusedly: "Why?"
"Nothing." Qin Qin turned away and looked away.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
He glanced pityingly at His Majesty Yuhuang, who cared for his nephew but didn't understand him at all, with a smile on his lips: "Don't worry, he is not a child anymore, he can handle it."
Not only can he cope with it, but he is also very clever.
"By the way, I remember that Gu Jian's eldest son is one year older than Gu Beilin. Is he seventeen this year?"
"If you are still alive, that is." Gu Ming said with a gloomy face. When Qin Qin mentioned Gu Jian's son, he thought of Gu Jian's second son who was born without wings.
That trash, the source of all tragedies.
Qin Qin nodded and looked at Gu Ming. He remembered someone and they were busy again: "When I met Bai Qingjun this time, his accomplice was someone from the court."
Gu Ming's expression flashed: "Who?"
"Director of the Weapons Manufacturing Department of the Right Branch Army, Xiao Miao."
A gust of wind blew the broken hair on Gu Ming's forehead, and the anger in His Majesty's eyes reappeared, and the majesty belonging to the emperor was forever sealed.
The east wind has passed through Jiuzhong, and this court needs a new round of cleaning.
The green jadeite spun around in Gu Xiaotang's hand. He gently threw it up, and the jadeite fell on Xiao Si who was serving behind him.
Xiaosi was bruised and hurt by the jadeite, but he didn't dare to cry out. He had to force out a smile and respectfully returned the jadeite to Gu Xiaotang, who was lying on the soft couch: "Master, here. ..”
Gu Xiaotang didn't answer or say anything. He just hit Xiaosi's back with his hand covered with jade ornaments.
Xiaosi was in pain, but was afraid of his moody temper and didn't dare to resist, so he endured it forcefully.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaotang pulled him up by the collar, patted his smiling face, and said in a soft but unpleasant tone: "You said, Li Li found that car with flames and gunpowder in Zui Feng Tower. It’s been so long, why doesn’t Your Majesty reward me?”
Gu Xiaotang's eyes were full of dissatisfaction and irritability: "It's okay to say that I was busy investigating the origin of the car's flame salt. It's been so long now, and the bunch of rubbish at the Imperial Examination Station have not been able to find out. It's a waste of time for me. I won’t mention the merits of my contribution, and I won’t remind Yuliji.”
Gu Xiaotang went crazy in Zui Feng Tower for several days and nights last week. Finally, he got extremely drunk and bumped into Yu Liangjian, the commander of the Yi Air Force, on the streets of Jiuchong City.
Yu Liangjian's face turned dark immediately and he threw him in front of his father himself. Prince Shunde was laughed at by the royal family and nobles of Jiuchong City for a long time.
His father was so angry that he cut off all his financial resources and even sentenced him to confinement!
Otherwise, if this had been done in the past, with the financial resources of the heir apparent of Prince Shunde's Mansion, he would not have been able to see any reward.
Xiaosi was frightened, but he couldn't help but trembled and reminded him: "Master, please don't talk nonsense. Commander Qin Qin is back, and he..."
"What's wrong with him?" Gu Xiaotang raised his legs and twisted his mouth disdainfully: "He hasn't woken up yet."
Gu Xiaotang let go of Xiaosi, who quickly got up and shook his clothes, standing tremblingly.
Gu Xiaotang curled his lips in disgust: "Look at your worthless look. So what if he wakes up? The Imperial Examination Station was just in his hands for a while, and it's not his. Yu Shengjie We had a fight before. He already has the Chaoyang Army and the Zuo Zhi Army, and if he has the Imperial Prosecution Office in charge of criminal cases all over the world, what will happen?"
Gu Xiaotang muttered: "I don't believe that Yuhuang really trusts him. Our Yuhuang is the same. Such a great power is actually given to a foreigner. The others are either poor boys who have climbed up from the bottom, or they are stubborn. In the hands of royal family members like us, we have no real power at all. When Emperor Yu was alive, how could it be such a desolate scene? I think back then, the Yu Clan’s court and military trading houses, Where can there be no place for my family?"
He drank wine: "If our ancestors in the Shunde Prince's Palace hadn't had a foundation and a lot of money, we wouldn't be like those few run-down families who were despised by others... It's annoying to think about it. You, go, I went to Zui Feng Tower to find some beautiful girls for my son, but I’m bored to death... Oops! What are you trying to do with me? I’m tired of living... ah!"
Gu Xiaotang turned around and saw Qin Qin standing behind him. Qin Qin's face was expressionless, and his shadow pressed down like a mountain, covering Gu Xiaotang until he was suffocated.
Gu Xiaotang was so frightened that he fell off the soft couch. He was still in the form of a romantic prince. He laughed dryly and got up, stammering: "Qin... haha General Qin, how come you have time to come to this world... Oh no! I’m here, come here and enjoy my face.”
He pushed Xiao Si: "Why don't you go and give tea to General Qin!"
"No need." Qin Qinyun threw off his robe calmly and sat down: "General, as a foreigner, I won't bother your noble Yu clan royal family to enjoy tea. I am here today to do something. "
When Gu Xiaotang heard this, his soul trembled twice. Damn it, this murderer had heard everything.
Gu Xiaotang laughed drowsily, pretending to be delirious and drunk: "General Qin said something about foreigners. I just had two drinks and my enunciation was not clear. General Qin heard something wrong..." .What's the reason for General Qin's coming? Just say it! This time General Qin returns to Beijing, our Shunde Palace has not been well..."
Qin Qin didn't want to listen to his false cannon. He laughed, his laughter was extremely cool and calm: "Oh, it turns out he was telling the truth after drinking."
Gu Xiaotang: "..."
Gu Xiaotang wanted to make it up again, but Qin Qin called out for someone, and then his hands were locked with iron cuffs by the people at the imperial examination station.
Xiao Si was frightened for a moment. When he saw the prince being handcuffed, his legs went weak.
Gu Xiaotang was confused: "Qin Qin, didn't I just say a few words that I shouldn't have said? I didn't commit anything, why do you arrest me? Do you really think that this Yu clan is your world? Now it is In Jiuchong City, I am a relative of the emperor and the heir apparent of an aristocratic family, why do you handcuff me without any explanation?"
Gu Xiaotang kicked his legs: "You, you people from the Imperial Examination Station, you are not Qin Qin's subordinates, why are you following him like dogs? Aren't you going to follow him in rebellion? I don't accept it! I want to see him Your Majesty, let me go! Let me go! Let me go to see Your Majesty!"
The prosecutor's face turned dark. He obviously took care not to get angry in front of Qin Qin, but he was so angry that his beard curled up and he looked away fiercely.
"Since you know what you shouldn't say, why don't you have the brains to think about whether you can say it?!" Qin Qin's face turned cold: "It is a serious crime to slander important officials of the imperial court in private. What haven't you committed? You royal family have been involved in these years. Have the nobles’ upbringing and etiquette been eaten by dogs?”
Qin Qin threw a piece of supervision paper in front of him: "General, I am not so free. Do you think everyone else has nothing to do like you?"
Qin Qin raised his voice: "The case of hiding saltpetre in Zuifenglou on the ninth day of the first lunar month was heavily reviewed by the Imperial Inspection Bureau. An unannounced visit to the Shunde Prince's Palace was made at night, and six carts of the same batch of saltpeter were found in the underground secret room. Shunde Prince's Palace, He secretly harbored flames and salt, smuggled arms, violated the prohibition, and violated the imperial laws of our Holy Dynasty. Now, Emperor Yu has issued an order to arrest the suspected persons from the Shunde Palace in accordance with the law, and to strictly examine the case!"
"Impossible!" Gu Xiaotang's eyes were about to burst open: "Absolutely impossible! How could I, the Prince of Shunde, smuggle flame salt! The car in Zuifenglou was discovered by my son! Qin Qin, you falsely conveyed the imperial edict and slandered My dear, do you know the consequences?"
Qin Qin slapped the yellow paper imperial order on his chest: "You can see clearly for yourself whether it is a fake message or not. Come and take it away!"
Gu Xiaotang reached out to grab the yellow paper imperial order, but was tied up by the imperial examination platform. He could only see the imperial order floating at his feet. The instructions were on it. It was indeed the Yu Huang's imperial pen.
"How is it possible...impossible, we have never done anything like this. I, the Prince of Shunde, have a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about money in my life. We have no reason to smuggle arms. It's impossible. This is not true. It's unfair! We are Unjustly accused!”
Gu Xiaotang was still shouting, but he was already carried out by two big men at the imperial examination station.
Xiao Si trembled and raised his head to see Qin Qin slowly walking towards him. Qin Qin squatted down and said, "Where is your prince?"
Just now, he led his troops to quietly surround the entire Shunde Palace, so as not to alert others. But even so, he searched the entire Shunde Palace and still could not see the shadow of Prince Shunde.
"... General Qin, the prince went on a far journey yesterday. The young man is not one of the people serving the prince. I really don't know where the prince has gone. The general is aware of it!" After saying that, he bowed down with a plop.
Qin Qin looked at Xiaosi speechlessly, terrified, as if he was afraid that Qin Qin would eat him.
Does he look so scary now?
Qin Qin shook his head, threw away his robe and left.
When Gu Xiaotang was taken into the cell, he was still screaming, punched and kicked, screaming and cursing at the same time. When he got tired of the scolding, he began to beg pitifully for mercy.
"What an injustice! I, the Prince of Shunde, have always done conscientious business. I neither kill people nor set fires. I abide by the laws and pay taxes on time. It's not like Ansheng is tired of his life. How could he kick his brains out and sell arms? Your Majesty. ...Your Majesty is aware of it, Your Majesty, someone must have framed me in the Shunde Palace... General Qin, General Qin, I was wrong, General Qin... I have a bad mouth, please let me go..."
"Let me out...ah!"
A gray and plump mouse ran past Gu Xiaotang's thigh. The mouse was covered in dirt and growled with its big teeth.
Gu Xiaotang had been pampered since he was a child. He had never seen anything like this, let alone sleeping in such a messy place. He opened his big, bony eyes and looked at the mouse that was looking at him, and tears were about to fall from his eyes.
"Help, help, someone help me..."
"Stop screaming!" The warder slammed the iron chain in his hand on the iron bars of the cell with a clang, and said irritably: "Are you going to let me sleep at night?"
The jailer took a look at the brocade robes Gu Xiaotang was wearing and sneered: "You high-ranking royal family and nobles usually look at people with your nose when you walk on the street. You never regard other people's lives as your own. Now you are in trouble." , you still want someone to come to you? Dream on! You don’t have much money, and you still have the audacity to smuggle arms and violate the ban. You deserve it! When General Qin catches your father, you two, father and son, will be on the road together. "
After the jailer finished speaking, he spat at Gu Xiaotang.
Seeing this, several jailers on duty also came over to step on him. They were used to being bullied by such noble people, and now they finally saw the once-high-ranking royal family and nobles reduced to prisoners, and they were unwilling to let this opportunity go.
In the dark cell, Gu Xiaotang was in tears as he was punched and kicked by these lowly men, his eyes filled with hatred to kill.
Villain! A group of villains who follow the trend!
When he was rich, everyone wanted to carry his shoes. They spit on the ground and wanted to lick them clean.
As soon as he fell into despair, everyone immediately showed their ugly faces.
Gu Xiaotang's heart was filled with anger. When he went out and Emperor Yu found out, he was going to kill all these villains who were following the enemy's influence!
Kill them all!
Among the crowd's noise, there was only one person sitting not far away, quietly drinking a cup of tea.
His old and peeling hands rubbed the old and worn cup in the cell. He was dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat, and his face could not be seen clearly.
He sat there quietly drinking tea. His quiet temperament was extremely incompatible with this dark and dirty cell, but his tattered and old clothes were extremely suitable for this place.
