Soon, the imperial physician came over carrying a medicine box.

Gu Jingzhi hurriedly said, "Treat the seriously injured first. The others with minor injuries can bandage themselves on the spot. In addition, Your Majesty, please dispatch some more personnel. There are still many soldiers outside who are seriously injured and need treatment as soon as possible!"

As soon as he said this, someone immediately scolded him, "Gu Jingzhi, we have limited medicinal materials right now. We haven't even treated these old marquises yet, so how can we care about those soldiers?"

What?

Everyone looked at the Second Prince, only to see Emperor Xia slap him hard across the face, cursing, "Rebellious son! If it weren't for those soldiers saving your life just now, you would have been chopped into pieces by now!"

"You are so ignorant of propriety. Are you worthy of being a member of my royal family?"

"Get out of my way! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll break your legs first..."

When Emperor Xia was furious, the Second Prince suddenly became silent. However, the Third Prince, who was standing behind the crowd, had a smile in his eyes. He did not expect that he would gain so much today.

Originally, he had thought of letting Jin Lehuang frame the prince to make Emperor Xia suspicious of him, but he didn't expect that she was actually able to incite the imperial guards to rebel.

The most crucial thing is that the prince is now suspected of rebellion, and it will be difficult to clear the charges!

Originally, when he saw that the prince was cleared of the charges, he was cursing Jin Lehuang in his heart for being incompetent, but he didn't expect that she would give him such a big surprise. It seems that this woman is not only good at pleasing men in bed!

And his second brother was so stupid as to stand up and speak out, which offended all the princes and dukes in the court. If anything happens to the crown prince, the position of crown prince will probably not fall into the hands of this fool in the future.

but……

If Gu Jingzhi hadn't captured the rebels alive today, the Hall of Supreme Harmony would have been breached. By then...

The third prince was startled. It looked like this woman wanted to kill him too!

……

Just as Gu Jingzhi and his men were treating the wounded soldiers outside the palace, Tianshu arrived with his men. As soon as he entered the hall, he apologized, "Your Majesty, the rebellion has been pacified. We are late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"

"Forget it! Now that the rebels have been wiped out, let's quickly go to the Imperial Hospital and bring all the doctors to treat the soldiers' injuries!"

"I will send someone there right away!"

When Tianshu arrived, he saw corpses everywhere outside the door. All the rebellious imperial guards had been stripped of their weapons and were kneeling in the square outside the palace. He knew that the rebellion had been put down.

Just ...

I'm afraid that huge changes are about to happen in the court!

……

The wonderful New Year's banquet ended abruptly. Gu Jingzhi and a group of princes were injured. Emperor Xia was embarrassed to keep them, so after their injuries were treated, he asked the imperial guards to escort them out of the palace.

As soon as Gu Jingzhi and his men walked out of the palace, they saw Li Ye and a group of people waiting there.

Gu Jingzhi hurried forward and said, "Generals, you are injured. Why don't you go back and rest earlier?"

"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious!"

Li Ye shook his head slightly, then forced a smile and said, "If you weren't here today, I'm afraid we would all... Alas!"

Li Ye sighed heavily.

Gu Jingzhi said silently: "Old Duke, it is better not to be sad about the death of an old friend. Now that something like this has happened, I am afraid that the turmoil in the court is inevitable!"

"Yeah! It's really one thing after another!"

Li Ye shook his head, then looked at the other dukes and said, "I have something to say to the young man from the Gu family. You should go back and recuperate first!"

As the first duke of Daxia, he naturally had dignity. After hearing this, the other dukes and marquises came forward to say goodbye to Gu Jingzhi.

After Gu Jingzhi said goodbye one by one, the Duke of Ying finally said with a smile, "After this incident, these old guys all regard you as their savior. Your career will be much easier in the future!"

"This one……"

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Old Duke, I'm not asking for favors from you veteran generals for today's matter. You are all generals who hold military power in Daxia. If anything happens to you, Daxia will be in danger!"

"hehe!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "You are the grandson of that old fellow Gu Shun. Although your Gu family has never fought alongside us, if Gu Heng hadn't stolen your Gu family's credit, you would now be considered a founding noble of our Great Xia!"

"Since we are fortunate enough to fight side by side today, and you saved our lives, we are now one of our own. However, I have something I want to say to you!"

"Please speak, Duke!"

Gu Jingzhi said softly.

Li Ye pointed to the street and said, "Do you mind walking with me, an old man?"

"Since the Duke has such a refined taste, I shall certainly obey!"

"hehe!"

Li Ye chuckled, then sighed softly after a long moment. He asked, "You are known for your sharp wit and great wisdom. In your opinion, was today's incident instigated by the Crown Prince?"

"No! Not only is he not the crown prince, he probably isn't even the prince!"

"Is that a noble family?"

"uncertain!"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head slightly: "Although the Second Prince keeps biting the Crown Prince with his words, as the saying goes, the biting dog doesn't bark. The Second Prince is being too hasty!"

"Although he has been wanting to dethrone the Crown Prince for a long time, his haste has actually cleared his suspicions!"

"Besides, he has the support of the Queen in the palace, and the Queen's mother's family is from a prominent family. He doesn't need to be so impatient. If the Crown Prince is in trouble, he only needs to wait!"

"Since it's not the second prince, then I guess it's not the work of an aristocratic family!" Li Ye breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not an aristocratic family, it's fine. At present, the power of the aristocratic family is still very strong. If unrest occurs, I am afraid that the entire territory of Daxia will be shaken.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly and said, "The Second Prince and the Yin family behind him can be cleared of suspicion, but the aristocratic family may not be!"

"This..." Li Ye was a little confused.

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Duke, don't forget that although these noble families are of the same blood, they are not of the same clan after all. How can they really be so harmonious among themselves?"

"Although the Yin family is one of the five great families, their influence lies in the military. It's not a big deal right now that they're being suppressed by the Duke and the others, but it would be a different story if the Second Prince were to take the throne. This founding nobleman will eventually grow old!"

Gu Jingzhi sighed quietly: "The aristocratic families share the officialdom equally, but if one of them has a knife in hand, the others will naturally be afraid!"

"Now that you put it that way, it makes some sense!"

Li Ye nodded silently, then asked, "Who do you think it is? The Third Prince?"

"He must have been behind the scenes fanning the flames, but he shouldn't be so stupid!"

Gu Jingzhi said: "Although this rebellion seems dangerous, in reality, it is destined to fail!"

"Destined to fail?"

Li Ye was a little surprised!

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Yes! Apart from failure, I can't think of anything else!"

"Although we often shout 'Long Live Your Majesty,' but looking back at history, has anyone ever truly lived to be ten thousand years old?"

He sighed again and said, "I have been with Your Majesty for some time. Although Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have different political views, that is simply the difference between a founding monarch and a reigning monarch."

"The founding emperor and the reigning emperor? What does that mean?"
