The old east wind comes to dream

Before Dazhao, the world was ruled by aristocratic families.Just like the Gu family, they had been a family for a hundred years when they started the incident, and they had a profound background.After the founding of Tai/Zu, many old aristocrats licked their faces and stretched out their hands to get a share of the pie.The Tai/Zu hated it deeply, and proceeded to kill several leading troublesome families, and vigorously promoted the poor children who were selected by the imperial examination, making the Dazhao family far less rampant than the previous generation.

But after all, the aristocratic family has a big tree and deep roots, and it still holds a lot of power in the court.This time, Emperor Tianshun originally intended to take the opportunity to attack the family.However, the powerful families in the imperial court were deeply intertwined, and few of them were not implicated in his attack this time. On the contrary, he made the aristocratic families share the same hatred, and instead of fighting among themselves, they turned to fight against the emperor together.

And because the "private soldiers" who appeared in the evidence were finally found to be less than a thousand people, and there are more servants and servants in ordinary families than this, it also made many families feel that Emperor Tianshun was taking the opportunity to make trouble .

Therefore, under the instigation of the aristocratic family, many dissatisfaction with Emperor Tianshun's iron-blooded methods and unfair handling of affairs immediately appeared in the court.Including the folks, some small families were dragged by the big clan to make up for their crimes, and their blood and tears were still wet.They didn't dare to fight against the big clan, so they relied on the sky high and the emperor far away, and they had many words of resentment towards the imperial court and the Tian family.

And the ones who bear the brunt are naturally the Eastern Palace family that was protected by Emperor Tianshun.

Among them, of course, the help of King Yu is indispensable.

Gu Zizhan had previously discussed with Fu You, rescued Wang Shuli's biological mother from the teaching workshop, and tried to save Wang Xuan's pregnant aunt, which was also a matter of concern.Wang Xun's old mother hanged herself before ransacking her home, but it was just an inconspicuous bone in this struggle.

This topic was rather heavy, and the three of them remained silent for a while.

Suddenly, Fu You laughed mockingly from the side, and said: "Speaking of what Wang Yunhe, Duke of Ding, committed this time, there is one thing that you would never have thought of, brother Zizhan. It's ridiculous, you and I were just a little bit short of being able to Discovered the conspiracy."

Gu Zizhan corrected him: "Brother-in-law." Followed his words and asked: "What's the matter?"

Fu You didn't care about her interruption, took a sip of tea, continued with a sneer on his face, "Do you still remember that you and I became brothers at the beginning because of the fake "Pine Crane Celebrating Birthday" by Wang Shuli? Figure sequence."

It was so long ago that Gu Zizhan couldn't remember it for a while.Fortunately, Fu You didn't give in, but continued: "In Dali Temple, I saw that Cao Juren forged letters for Wang Yunhe. The backs of several letters were the same as the original fake characters, and they were burned. After roasting, the four characters "Dingguo Gongfu" will appear. And the handwriting of these four characters is exactly the same as that on the official silver! The fake official silver cast by Wang Yunhe is exactly like this Cao Juren. Written in handwriting and cast!"

Gu Zizhan never thought that these two things would be related!For a while, he thought for a while, and exclaimed: "Since this is the case, the family you said that Wang Shuli took away from the calligraphy and painting shop in Xishi that day, could it be this Cao Juren?"

Fu You nodded.After a long time, he sighed in a low voice, "I have pity on my family, Wang Shuli, who is obviously the father who did the evil thing, but he used his son to block the name!" Then he slapped the table hard, Fu You glared angrily, and cursed: "Bastard! !Grandpa beat him!"

Gu Zizhan also had mixed feelings in his heart.Perhaps, when Cao Juren was forced to do those things, he was always looking for hope of salvation.It's a pity that by accident, none of them has such a far-sighted vision.

Chu Lan didn't know these things before, but after listening to Fu You's words, she roughly understood the whole story.Seeing Gu Zizhan's downcast expression, she was very distressed.In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with the two of them, and they are also innocent people.

Holding Gu Zizhan's hand under the table, Chu Lan comforted softly: "This was committed by evildoers, and they should bear the responsibility, not you. Zizhan, people don't need to be responsible and feel guilty for bad things they haven't done. "

Gu Zizhan blinked his red eyes and nodded obediently.

Chu Lan looked at Fu You again.He changed the topic and asked him: "By the way, friend, since you have reached the crown, what kind of name did you use?"

At the age of 20, the crown ceremony will be held.Although it was inconvenient for Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan to go out, they did not owe him any gifts, especially the dagger from the Western Regions that Gu Zizhan gave him, which made Fu You very satisfied.So naturally, Chu Lan thought of asking Fu You's current name.

Gu Zizhan's mood was cleared of the haze by Chu Lan's few words, and he also looked at Fu You curiously.

Fu You took a deep breath, and also pulled a smiling face, "I told my father, I want to pick up this name myself, and it's called 'Zihua'! From now on, I, Fu Zihua, will take Wang Zihua's share and go well. go down!"

Gu Zizhan's eyes turned hot.Pushing back the moisture in his eyes, Gu Zizhan couldn't help laughing. "This son is optimistic about you, and you, Fu Zihua, will definitely become the number one richest man in my Dazhao!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, with youthful spirit in their eyes.Chu Lan was on the side, feeling a little bit, and a little bit relieved.

There is a poetic spirit in his stomach, and now, there is another sustenance.

**********

After Fu You left, Gu Zizhan suddenly said to Chu Lan, "Alan, I want to drink some wine today, would you like to accompany me?"

Chu Lan naturally knew that her heart was a little heavy, and she wanted to drink to relieve her pain, so she nodded with a smile and said, "But don't drink too much. After all, I'm a 'twin body' now."

Gu Zizhan was amused by her, and forced himself to fight for benefits, "But I'm not pregnant, so don't get in the way."

Chu Lan immediately glared at her, "Then Gu Shizi intends to abandon my pregnant wife and eat alone?" He snorted again, "If you drink too much, who will take care of me, a pregnant woman!"

Gu Zizhan was frightened into a quail, trembling, "I'm not, I'm not!" He hugged Chu Lan's slender waist again, and started to play tricks with his hands, "If you talk about it again, I'm going to start drinking crazy!" Taking the opportunity, he straightened up and kissed Chu Lan. Hold on to the red lips of your sweetheart.

Chu Lan blushed, struggled coquettishly and said: "Deng Tuzi!"

After all, Chu Lan's family status was unrivaled, and Gu Zizhan failed in the end.But it was daytime right now, so it was only natural that she failed to succeed. As for the night, it was hard to say.

The two ordered Jianwei and Chunhui to set up a banquet, held hands and sat down, looked at each other, and couldn't help but both smiled.

During the conversation, it was natural to talk about the court affairs.

Ma Chengda eventually resigned.

This widely involved case of fake official bank was finally characterized as Wang Yunhe forming a party for personal gain, forging official bank, colluding with the garrison, and bribing court officials.As for the "loyal man" who delivered the anonymous letter at the beginning, he was also put on the head of Wang Yunhe's family. The purpose, of course, was to rely on Cao Yan, Liu Chong, and the one who accepted Cao Yan's bribe to arrange for him to enter the East Palace. A few small officials from Zuochunfang, these Donggong moths, pulled the prince off his horse.

But this matter can only fool some ordinary people, and it is not difficult for those who are a little shrewd to see that a crucial link is missing.

That is, if Wang Yunhe directed and acted in this play, in order to bring down the prince, how could he be so stupid that he didn't hide his criminal evidence, but let Dali Temple investigate him so aggressively? What's wrong?This stupid method clearly hinted that behind him, there was another oriole that slipped through the net.

Ma Chengda is like this, and he believes that the prince is the oriole.In his opinion, Donggong was responsible for this matter from beginning to end, and the "loyal man" was just one of them, dog-eat-dog.After Dong Gong found out about this, he planned to use Wang Yunhe to frame this matter on King Yu's head.After all, the scene where Wang Yunhe sued King Yu at the court meeting couldn't have been more obvious.Therefore, although he also disliked King Yu, seeing that Emperor Tianshun and Yan Junchi favored the crown prince, he no longer had any attachment to this court.

Although he publicly impeached the prince in the court that day, he was still very soft-spoken.In front of the imperial power of Emperor Tianshun, it was like hitting a stone with an egg.Even if he was not implicated and punished in the end, it was because of the prince's protection of him and Yan Junchi's running around.Of course, the more important thing is that Emperor Tianshun still has to keep some dignity for himself.

But such a situation still couldn't convince him of the prince's innocence.Besides, if he stayed in Dali Temple, he would never be tolerated by Emperor Tianshun.Instead of waiting for the embarrassment in the future, it is better to retreat bravely in the rapids. At any rate, the whole family can live safely, and the last trace of not regretting the original intention.

When talking about Ma Chengda, it is natural to talk about his successor - Xing Kang.

During this investigation, Xing Kang's performance was absolutely remarkable.

This time Dali Temple made great achievements in the investigation. Except for Gu Zizhan who was fined and trapped in the mansion, the others also received their own rewards, and they all rose to one level.Wang Sicheng became Wang Sizheng, and Fu You was also promoted to Fu Sicheng.

What's more, when Xing Kang took Fu You and Wang Shuli to Fuyi County to search Cao Yan's mansion, Xing Kang found the key evidence that the Hexi Xiao cavalry guards colluded with bandits.Just now when Fu You came here, he also sighed that the courtyard had been burned to the ground at that time, and it was Xing Kang who discovered that there was another secret passage hidden under those ashes.If it is not so, it will never be found.

Fu Youlian praised him for his seasoned experience and carefulness, and his speech was full of admiration.

Gu Zizhan also agrees very much.When talking about it with Chu Lan, he also said that Xing Kang is a cautious person, meticulous in investigating cases, and he is also the most senior in Dali Temple, so it is appropriate for him to be the young minister.

Chu Lan listened to Gu Zizhan talking about those things in detail.When Gu Zizhan talked about the matter of her arraigning Wang Xun and defrauding Dingguo's mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little honored, touched Gu Zizhan's face, and praised him repeatedly without hesitation.These flamboyant words of praise made the thick-skinned Gu Zizhan a little embarrassed.

While talking and laughing, Gu Zizhan's narration progressed to the point where Xing Kang was injured and insisted on following Ma Chengda to Liangcheng, where he searched Ding Guogong's old house.Suddenly hot, Chu Lan frowned and interrupted her.

"Isn't Xing Kang seriously injured? It's only been a few days, how can he follow the investigation?"

Gu Zizhan broke up his fingers and began to count: "On the first day of April, they were ambushed, and Xing Kang was injured since then. On the second day of April, Xing Kang fled back to Erlun County, and was discovered by the officials of Dali Temple waiting at the gate of the city. Send him to the hospital for treatment. On the fifth day of April, Ayou sent him back to Beijing from Hua, and I interrogated Wang Xun on the same day. On the other day, on the sixth day of the new year, Ma Shaoqing took people to Liangcheng. Five days." After finishing speaking, he looked up at Chu Lan, frowned and said, "It seems that the time is a bit short."

Chu Lan asked her again: "Do you still remember where Xing Kang was injured?"

Gu Zizhan recalled and replied: "I remember it was in the abdomen." He paused again, "By the way, I remember that the doctor in the medical center said at that time that the wound was not deep, but that he lost too much blood."

Chu Lan frowned and looked at Gu Zizhan. "Except for Ah You who fell off the cliff, Xing Kang is the only one who came out of that mountain alive, right?"

At this point, Gu Zizhan finally saw that Chu Lan was interested in Xing Kang.He simply asked directly: "Alan, are you suspicious of Xing Kang?" Then he was a little puzzled, "Why?"

Chu Lan also answered frankly: "Yes, I now think that there are some things about him that are too unusual."

"Don't you think that his participation is indispensable in the discovery of key clues in every step of this case of private casting of official silver?"

"Besides, you and I now suspect that this case was planned by King Yu. How can he guarantee that Dali Temple can successfully discover the perjury evidence of Wang Yunhe's collusion with the East Palace? If there is no one from him to thread the needle, he really has the courage , do you believe that this matter can develop flawlessly according to his prediction?"

Gu Zizhan's expression also gradually changed.

With a long sigh, he said, "King Yu is cunning and suspicious. He has set up a plan, and he will definitely ask someone to watch the situation."

Her tone was a bit difficult, "I had suspected that this person was me."
