After Mr. Zhao made the move, Zhou Gu and Su Xingze were both shocked.
Zhou Gu immediately asked: "Are you sure?"
Zhao Laoer nodded affirmatively with a pale face, "I'm sure, otherwise, how could I dare to talk about Princess Zhenmin? How could anyone living in the capital not know that Princess Zhenmin can't be discussed unreasonably? Give me a chance No matter how brave I am, even this little old man wouldn’t dare!”
Princess Zhenmin, who had meritorious service in Daliang, was a taboo for the royal family. From the late emperor to the present day when His Majesty is in power, no one dared to discuss it in public.
After all, that period of history was also a shameful history of the incompetence of the Daliang royal family and their defeat by the Wei Dynasty.
Zhou Gu made an immediate decision, "Midnight, take them down, find a yard, arrange some people, and keep them under strict supervision."
Mr. Zhao's expression changed drastically, "Young Master Zhou, spare your life!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, but you are very important, and your son, you two have to stay in the Protector's Mansion for the time being." Zhou Gu added, "If you don't want to die if you go out, Let’s live down-to-earth in the Protector’s Mansion.”
Mr. Zhao is not stupid. When he heard this, he immediately stopped making trouble.
Zhao Fei had a pale face and did not dare to make trouble after hearing this.
So, Ziye took the two of them and imprisoned them in a courtyard, and dispatched a third of the government soldiers to guard them.
Zhou Gu turned to Su Xingze and said, "Brother Su, let's go find grandfather."
Su Xing nodded.
The two of them walked out of Zhou Gu's yard together.
Not far away, the housekeeper came over with several people. The person in front of him was He Zheng, the leader of the Imperial Guard.
Zhou Gu stopped and asked, "Commander He?"
He Zheng handed over his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, I am here to cooperate with you on your Majesty's order to thoroughly investigate the case of Mr. Zhao Yipinxiang Storytelling today."
Zhou Gu was surprised, "Your Majesty asked you to cooperate with me?"
He Zheng nodded, "Exactly."
Zhou Gu looked him up and down and smiled, "I have finished the interrogation. I was going to inform my grandfather and then go to the palace to see His Majesty. It is unfortunate that Commander He is here."
He Zheng heard this and asked, "So, Young Master Zhou does not need to cooperate with me?"
"Of course it is necessary. Commander He, wait a moment. After I go to see my grandfather, I will follow you to see His Majesty." Zhou Gu's face remained as usual and he ordered the butler, "Uncle Chen, please take Commander He and several brothers to the front hall first. Have tea."
After he finished speaking, he took Su Xingze away directly.
He Zheng was left on the spot, unable to catch up and stop him for a while, so he could only listen to Zhou Gu and let Uncle Chen take him to drink tea first.
Zhou Gu and Su Xingze came to the study. After meeting the old Protector, he said with a bad expression: "Grandpa, the interrogation has come out."
"So fast?" The old Protector did not expect that he would be out of the interrogation in less than half an hour.
Zhou Gu nodded, took out the portrait painted by Mr. Zhao, and told Mr. Zhao's confession.
When the old Protector heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "They are actually members of the Imperial Guard. Your Majesty personally controls the Imperial Guard."
Zhou Gudao: "Your Majesty just sent He Zheng and his people here to cooperate with me in investigating this matter." He frowned, "Grandpa, do you think it was His Majesty's handiwork?"
"No." The old Protector shook his head affirmatively, "I haven't told you yet. After the court meeting, His Majesty kept me and asked Su Rong's identity, and I took the opportunity to tell His Majesty. Your Majesty is Princess Zhenmin's favorite. , she is older than His Majesty. She has coaxed His Majesty since she was a child and accompanied him to study and read. She is very affectionate. Do you think His Majesty has treated his biological sister fairly in these years? But if Zhen Min were alive, he would definitely treat Zhen Min more than He is even better to Qingping. Although he is a cousin by blood, he is no different from the same mother. Now that he knows Su Rong's identity, he will not publicize it so much due to Zhenmin's affection. This pair of Su Rong is unfavorable. Although His Majesty has great power, he is not a heartless person. He will not attack Zhenmin's daughter, at least not if it does not involve the overthrow of the country. What's more, if this matter is publicized in the streets and streets, You know, it’s also not good for Daliang Sheji.”
Zhou Gu thought about it and said, "Grandpa is right."
In recent years, His Majesty has done so many things to suppress the Crown Prince and the Protectorate, so that when it comes to Your Majesty, Zhou Gu will never think the best of him.
He asked: "Grandpa, do you think it's possible that that person deliberately let Mr. Zhao see those boots? Although they are only worn by the Imperial Guards, it doesn't necessarily mean they can't be used as cover by pushing out the Imperial Guards. .”
The old Protector nodded, "It's not impossible. It's right to consider all aspects of everything."
"Then what should I do? Should I go directly to see His Majesty, or should I go back and forth with He Zheng and find out what he says?" Consultant Zhou.
"What do you think?" The old protector threw the question back to him.
Zhou Gu had thought about this matter on the way here, "I think that if His Majesty hadn't sent someone here, I would have naturally secretly investigated the Imperial Guards, but now Your Majesty has directly sent the Imperial Guards to cooperate with me in investigating this matter. Once you have passed the clear path for me, I can go directly to the palace to find His Majesty."
The old Protector did not nod or shake his head, but turned to ask Su Xingze, "Xingze, what do you think?"
Su Xing then surrendered to the old Protector, "Junior thinks that what Zhou Gu said is that since Your Majesty is harmless to Xiao Qi, he has already intervened in this matter, and it also involves the Imperial Guards under His Majesty's direct jurisdiction, so he should go and see His Majesty. .”
The old Protector nodded, "Okay, Brother Gu, go ahead! Take the evidence and take the people there directly. Let Mr. Zhao speak to His Majesty in person, and then explain your doubts to Your Majesty. Look, Your Majesty How to decide."
Zhou Gu was sure, nodded, and left the Duke Protector's study without any further delay.
Naturally, it was impossible for Su Xingze to enter the palace with Zhou Gu. Zhou Gu left, and the old protector left Su Xingze behind and closed the door to talk to him.
He looked at Su Xingze and asked directly: "Xingze, I'm asking you, Su Rong and Na Ye Guixue..." He paused here and stopped talking, believing that Su Xingze understood what he wanted to ask.
Su Xingze pursed his lips and said bluntly: "Old Duke, my seventh sister has promised to marry Young Master Ye."
The old Protector had expected it, but now that Su Xingze had confirmed it, he still kept him silent for a while, "What did Ye Guixue promise to her? Will Ye Guixue support her to ascend the throne?"
Su Xingze nodded and said truthfully: "Second Young Master Ye used the Tiger Talisman of one hundred thousand soldiers as a betrothal gift for Seventh Sister. Ye Xiangfu will support Seventh Sister. Lord Yegui Xue will become Seventh Sister's royal husband in the future."
The old Protector took a breath, "A tiger talisman with a hundred thousand troops? Did the King of Southern Chu have a plan?"
Su Xingze nodded, he was worthy of being the old protector of the country, and he guessed it through one sentence, "It is said that five years ago, the King of Southern Chu knew about the existence of Qimei, and has endured it to this day. It was also in that year that he chose to return at night. Snow, be trained as a royal husband."
The old Protector was immediately angry, "At that time, Su Rong and Zhou Gu were engaged."
Su Xing was silent.
After the old Protector became angry, he immediately understood that although the King of Southern Chu was far away in Southern Chu, he had a clear understanding of the affairs of the Daliang Dynasty. He should have already guessed that Su Rong and Zhou Gu would definitely break off their engagement.
He was silent for a moment, his beard trembled, and he said angrily: "Then Chu Rong is very clever, otherwise he would not have taken the opportunity to pull Zhen Min into his arms, and later made her tempted, even if he faked his death and escaped. After that, I couldn’t get married to Xie Yuan.”
He cursed angrily, "The cheapest thing in the world is him."
Su Xing listened to the old protector scolding the King of Southern Chu, but refused to answer, waiting for him to scold him enough.
After the old Lord Protector cursed a few times, it was useless to curse because no one was in front of him, so he said to Su Xingze: "That little girl Su Rong is someone who can take on big things. She's better than Brother Gu." , don’t dwell on the love between children, and from her standpoint, the decision she made was the right one.”
Su Xing made no comment about Zhou Gu, and he couldn't accept the compliments given to Su Rong.
The old Lord Protector sighed, "A little girl who has been assassinated for many years has been trained and taught by Xie Yuan to be a tough-minded girl. A boy who has been raised well by the Lord Protector's Mansion and the East Palace and has not yet experienced hardships. Although he is smarter than ordinary people, But in the end, the rough jade has not become a great thing. A slight difference can make a thousand miles difference. This slight difference is his obstacle. If he can't get over it..."
He paused, stopped talking, and said to Su Xingze: "Those who achieve great things don't hesitate to lose. Only when you lose can you gain. Xingze, please stay with Brother Gu more and help him get through this hurdle." .”
Su Xingze nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Qimei said the same thing.
, I will try my best. "
The old Protector nodded and was quite pleased to hear that Su Rong had also given instructions. He said to him: "You have just heard that. I have informed your majesty that your majesty originally wanted to summon Su Rong immediately, but I dissuaded him from doing so. Now, now is not the time, there is still today's matter, after you return to Shen's house, you can tell her everything and let her calm down, there is nothing to do in the near future, just wait and see."
Su Xing should be.
