Chapter 291 Secret (Part 2)

"At that time, because the Eldest Princess denied that she had taken the "Taizu Handbook", the late emperor was ruthless. Taking advantage of the day when the coffin of the Emperor Taizu entered the imperial mausoleum, he caught the Eldest Princess by surprise and ordered Jin Yiwei to surround the imperial tomb and the imperial mausoleum. The Jingshan Palace intends to temporarily put the eldest princess under house arrest, and search the princess' mansion to find the handbook."

"I don't want to, the Xuanying Army has appeared!"

Hearing the name of the Xuanying Army, Chu You's pupils fluttered, and his thin lips couldn't help but tighten into a straight line.

Legend has it that the Xuanying Army is a strange army in the hands of Emperor Taizu, and they are also secret guards. Not only are they all the elite of the elite, but they also possess secret weapons, one person can defeat hundreds of people.

Emperor Taizu didn't give the Xuanying Army to the late emperor, but gave Fengyang a female generation eccentrically? !

Even if Xiao Shoufu hadn't said the follow-up, Chu You could guess the ending of the late emperor's move.

Xiao Shoufu's withered lips overflowed with a helpless sigh again: "The appearance of the Xuanying Army reversed the situation. The Jinyiwei and the accompanying imperial army retreated steadily, and the princess led the Xuanying Army to fight in front of the late emperor."

"But the royal family and the four princes are all here, and they have become peacemakers. Let the late emperor swear a heavy oath in front of Taizu's mausoleum. In this life, you must not be rude to the eldest princess again. You must respect and respect her, otherwise the sky will be struck by lightning. I am willing... to abdicate to the virtuous."

The last four words were almost word for word, even his voice was a little hoarse.

I see! After hearing this past incident, Chu You finally understood at this moment, no wonder the late emperor had always feared, feared and hated Fengyang.

Xiao Shoufu picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea slowly, his eyes flickering.

This was originally a power game within the royal family, but it gave their family a chance to rise again.

Taizu didn't like high-ranking families, he promoted imperial examinations, and tried his best to promote the children of poor families. Therefore, during Taizu's reign, most of these aristocratic families were suppressed, and only a few people used imperial examinations to become officials in order to please Taizu.

After the first emperor officially ascended the throne, in order to suppress Fengyang and stabilize the country, he began to support the family, and married Yuan as his successor to show his sincerity to the family.

It took twenty years for their aristocratic family to gain a firm foothold in the new dynasty and regain their former honor.

They will never let the hard work of the past twenty years be ruined!

Chu You lowered his eyes and pondered, reminiscing about the past that Xiao Shoufu told him, with an uncertain look on his face.

Until now, he had just realized the difficulty of his father these years.

The first emperor also wanted to change him to be the crown prince, and the support and opposition in the court were five to five. He used to think that the first emperor was not as strong as the Taizu, but now he realized that the real reason was Fengyang's opposition.

After all, many of those old people who witnessed the incident of the imperial tomb twenty years ago are still alive...

While thinking, Xiao Shoufu's cold voice penetrated into his ears: "His Highness Princess Fengyang's birthday is coming soon."

Chu You looked in Xiao Shoufu's direction again, and almost stood up from the chair without losing his composure.

Fengyang is the emperor's greatest support, the emperor is supported by her, and after the emperor ascends the throne, she also assists the emperor to consolidate the throne step by step.

Once Fengyang died, the emperor lost a lot of power.

This will be Chuyou's best chance.

Xiao Shoufu looked at Chu You with serious eyes, and said in an extremely calm voice: "Your Majesty, don't come here again when you can't miss this opportunity, you have to think carefully about it."

"The emperor is the son of the eldest son, and it is justifiable for him to succeed to the throne. When he is completely stable, what chance does the prince think you have?"

"My lord, you and the emperor are at odds for a long time, will the emperor let you go in the future?"

Xiao Shoufu hurriedly stood up from the chair, his eyebrows frowned even tighter.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said: "My lord, don't you have a deep relationship with the third girl of the Gu family? Don't you want her to suffer with you too?"

It was extremely difficult for Xiao Shoufu to say these two sentences, and he really didn't understand why Kang Wang was so obsessed with a woman, but up to now, he could only try all feasible methods to move Kang Wang.

"..." Chu You felt as if he had been stabbed, and his heart ached unbearably.

Xiao Shoufu stopped persuading him, and after bowing his hands to Chu You, he turned and left.

Chu You stared blankly at Xiao Shoufu's leaving back, motionless like a stone sculpture.

Seeing Xiao Shoufu leaving, the servant guarding under the eaves stepped into the hall again, looked worriedly at Chu You who was in a daze, and called out in a low voice: "My lord?"

Chu You remained motionless as if he had never heard of it.

His heart hurts very much, but he clearly knows that he has to choose between the throne and Gu Yunxie.

He hated the throne.

Since he was four or five years old, the first emperor held him on his knees and told him lovingly: "Brother Yu, you will inherit everything I own."

For so many years, his belief was as firm as a rock, and he never doubted it.

If he wants to choose the throne, he must give up his wife, and he must be separated from her forever...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt empty and uncomfortable.

Pounding!

Chu You's heart speeded up and contracted violently.

He couldn't help showing pain on his face, and raised his hand to grab the skirt of the left chest.

Pounding!

His heartbeat became faster and faster, and it hurt even more, as if an invisible big palm pinched his heart in his palm...

There were blue veins on the corners of his forehead, his face was almost ferocious, and drops of cold sweat overflowed his forehead.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" The waiter looked at Chu You worriedly and asked, panicked, "I'm going to summon the imperial physician..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chu You clutching his chest in pain and falling down from the chair...

"My lord!"

The housekeeper's shrill shouts nearly knocked the roof off.

Kang Wang Chuyou suddenly fell ill.

For several days, Kang Wang's Mansion not only invited several imperial physicians to the door, but also invited several doctors from Beijing and China back and forth.

This matter is not a secret, Gu Yanfei has also heard about it, and doesn't care.

Gu Yanfei had a lot of leisure these days, so he stayed in the Gu mansion all day, not only copied the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", but also made some paper money and folded some paper ingots.

In a few days, it will be the death sacrifice of father Gu Ce.

After death, if there is no accident, they will enter reincarnation, and their father should have also entered reincarnation and started a new life.

In order to accumulate merits for his next life, Gu Yanfei specially wrote amulets on the paper money and paper ingots, and asked people to go to Wuliang Temple to make an appointment in advance, planning to do a ritual ceremony for Gu Ce.

It's been almost nine years, and it will be nine years since the death of his father, Gu Ce.

At that time, Gu Ce was accused of "surrendering to the enemy and treason". He was impeached by all the officials in the court, and the people who didn't know the inside story scolded him. The hereditary Yongyetian, the Hou's Mansion was also abandoned by all the prefectures in the capital.

At this time in the previous life, Gu Yanfei, like everyone else, believed that his father had defected to the enemy and treasoned the country, and felt ashamed to have such a father.

But later, after the elder brother Gu Yuan was injured and had no job, when he stayed in the mansion all day, he told her a lot about his father when he was alive, and told her a lot about what his father taught him since he was a child.

According to the eldest brother, their father, Gu Ce, was a man of indomitable spirit.

The eldest brother never believed that his father would surrender to the enemy.

At that time, Gu Yanfei's original thoughts were also shaken. She believed in her elder brother, so she was also willing to believe in the glamorous father that elder brother said.

But later, her eldest brother died, and her sky collapsed.

For her at that time, it didn't matter what kind of person her father was...

A gust of wind suddenly blew from the window, blowing up the piece of paper money that Gu Yanfei had just written the spell on.

"careful!"

Gu Yunzhen, who had just entered the room, stepped forward in three steps at a time, and grabbed the piece of paper money that was almost blown away by the wind.

Gu Yunzhen carefully put the paper money into the box. She couldn't write spells, so she could only help Gu Yanfei origami Yuanbao.

"Second sister, I'll go with you tomorrow." Gu Yunzhen said.

Gu Yanfei gave a soft "hmm" and continued to fold the paper ingots.

Gu Yunzhen folded the gold foil paper slowly, every step was so careful and prudent, as if there was nothing more important than this.

The room was silent for a while, and occasionally cats meowed in the distance.

After a while, Gu Yunzhen's soft voice slowly rang out, breaking the silence in the room: "Uncle is a very gentle person, and he is very friendly to us juniors."

"When I was two years old, my uncle went back to the capital to report on his work, and took me and my elder brother to play around the capital."

"On the day of Qixi Festival, he personally tied up lanterns for me and my eldest brother, and took us to the Qixi Festival Lantern Festival..."

Although Gu Yunzhen was only two years old at the time, this scene was forever engraved in her heart.

She gradually grew up, and she always envied her elder brother to have a father like her uncle. Her father would not hold his child like the uncle, and her father would not take the child out to play like the uncle. , her father will not be like his uncle's father to enlighten his children on his own...

But……

Gu Yunzhen stopped the origami, and turned to look at Gu Yanfei's beautiful side face. Under the warm light, the girl's fair skin was like a fragile flower petal, which would blow away with the wind.

However, her second sister has neither met her uncle, nor has she ever gotten along with him.

Gu Yunzhen felt a little uncomfortable, sour and astringent.

Even if Su Niang is punished, the regret in the second sister's heart will never be made up for.
