The inner factory in the imperial city sent people to Shouzhou quickly, but it was still a step too late and failed to intercept the messenger sent by Fan Zhi to Shouzhou. The matter failed to break through. For a while, Yang Shiliang and others did not act rashly. They only increased manpower to secretly investigate the Guo family in Shouzhou and the Fan family in Tokyo. The Fan family held funerals as usual. When the emperor re-granted Li Chuyun military power, he was originally going to put down the Shouzhou rebellion. Unexpectedly, Li Chuyun died, and the troop deployment order was suspended. For a time, the imperial court had no time to do anything about the old party's rebellion. The matter dragged on for ten days, and suddenly an urgent report was sent to Tokyo: Guo Jin had been killed. It turns out that after Fan Zhi reminded Guo Jin, Guo Jin restrained himself and wanted to wait for the opportunity. However, his secret generals were afraid that the imperial court would send troops to capture Shouzhou and carry out liquidation. Out of fear, they suddenly rebelled and killed Guo Shao. Some of Fan Zhi¡¯s autographed letters were taken out from Guo Jin¡¯s house as real evidence. The funeral of Fan Mansion could not be carried out, because the imperial guards quickly surrounded Fan Mansion, imprisoned his family members, and searched the mansion. Soon, many of those implicated were convicted and imprisoned. Guo Shao summoned Wang Pu, Huang Binglian, and Yang Shiliang in the Yangde Hall and asked them to combine the three major cases of Fan Guo and other old party rebellions, the Zhao family's conspiracy to kill the king, and Li Chuyun's poisoning to take charge of the overall situation. Huang Binglian said: "The ins and outs of Fan, Guo and their gangs' rebellion have been roughly figured out. They just wanted to take advantage of His Majesty's illness and political turmoil to support the restoration of King Zheng (Chai Zongxun); and the Zhao family was bribed to recruit officials to conspire. The major case of regicide was carried out by the collusion of His Majesty's enemies Xiao Siwen and the Zhao family Founding Duke (Li Chuyun) was poisoned and died. It is now confirmed that it was his aide Zhong Li who committed the crime, but his motive has not been identified. Zhong Li He's dead too." Guo Shao was sitting on the soft couch, his body and mind still weak, and his recovery was very slow. He spoke very little. After listening, he just asked: "There is no relationship between these three forces?" Huang Binglian said: "Your Majesty, there is no relationship. Their respective purposes are different." Guo Shao rubbed his forehead with his palm and frowned. Asked: "Since Zhong Li is dead and has no motive, how can we confirm that he was the one who poisoned the founding father?" Although Guo Shao was in poor health, he still grasped the key points from a lot of reported information. Huang Binglian seemed a little surprised, clasped his fists and bowed: "I found some IOUs from Zhongli's residence, which were signed by Li Liangshi, the younger brother of the founding father. I immediately arrested Li Liangshi for torture, and his confession has been stored in the case. From then on. Judging from Li Liangshi's confession, Zhong Li's decision to become the founding father's confidant was actually intentional; and the piece of paper he mentioned to frame him was also intentional to cover up the situation. " After hearing this, Guo Shao nodded thoughtfully. Looking back at the crumpled piece of paper on the desk. "I order you to get rid of Li Chuyun, make amends for your mistakes, and seek peace for your relatives and friends Whose order is this? The meaning is definitely not the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, but the decree of the Emperor Xu; otherwise it would not make sense to make up for the merits of the Liao Kingdom. Zhongli, a person who has never been to the Liao Kingdom, has no need to "pass", let alone perform meritorious services for the Liao Kingdom. Huang Binglian added: "But why Zhongli wanted to harm Mr. Li is really puzzling. This man used to live in seclusion and practice Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain, and he was slightly known as a hermit. Later, he was invited by Li Jun of Hedong to come out as a counselor and lived in Hedong for many years. When Li Yun rebelled, Zhong Li repeatedly tried to dissuade him. Therefore, when Li Yun was eliminated and his party members were liquidated, they were released because of the tolerance of the officials. At that time, the government investigated Zhong Li. His background is that he is not a dangerous person. That is why the court can let him go. If Li Chuyun dares to use him, he should pass the exam. "Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "Then why did Zhongli use such extreme measures to harm Duke Jiang? The three people opposite Guo Shao looked at each other, and no one could answer. Yang Shiliang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the deceased Zhongli intended to frame Gong Li's death to the court. Maybe he was not against Gong Li, but resented Daxu as a whole. I'm sorry that the old man still cherished the kindness of his old master and wanted to avenge his old master Li Jun. ?" Guo Shao thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "It doesn't make sense to have such hatred that he would resort to any means just for the sake of kindness Zhong Li's background after becoming a Taoist priest is well documented. What did he do before he became a Taoist priest? " Yang Shiliang said: "In the past few decades, the world has been in war, and countless people have been displaced. And because it has been so long, it is impossible to trace it now." After hearing this, Guo Shao did not blame him. Even the generals of the Forbidden Army, some of them had been servants of other families. , some people have been refugees, and it is very difficult to verify with real evidence. The troubled times just ended, and this is what it looked like. The Yangde Hall was silent for a long time, everyone seemed to be thinking about Zhongli. Guo Shao¡¯s way of thinking is different from that of the ancients, and Bi¡¯s early education was different. He thought about it this way: First, Zhongli's relationship with many important monarchs and ministersThere is only one intersection between them, that is, Li Jun; secondly, there must be a deep grudge relationship between them if they do such a big thing as poisoning and killing Li Chuyun. It can be speculated that the key reason at this time is how Zhongli's "disappeared" life experience in the first half of his life can be related to Li Yun. "Zhongli, this name is very strange." Guo Shao said slowly, "Perhaps this person had changed his name before, and he was also a member of the Li family before. The imperial court exterminated Li Jun's family for treason, so Zhongli avenged the death of his family. Qiu." The expressions of Wang Pu and the other three people changed. Huang Binglian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, so it makes sense." "How should we verify the speculation?" Guo Shao said calmly: "Here we go. In this situation, the facts may not matter anymore. What the court needs most is not the facts, but explanations." The ministers nodded slightly. What Guo Shao means is that since the truth cannot be found out, a "truth" must be created to give an explanation to the Li Chuyun family, especially the noble concubine Li Yuan'er. At this moment, Yang Shiliang said seriously: "Your Majesty reminds me, please remember that a Taoist priest in Zhongnan Mountain can testify that Zhongli's surname was Li before he became a monk!" Guo Shao and others were stunned. If there is such important news, why did Yang Shiliang just tell him now? explain? Guo Shao did not ask, pretending that he had not thought of this, and immediately said: "Send someone immediately to get this person's confession." Yang Shiliang clasped his fists and said: "I obey the order." Wang Pu added: "Zhongli is not only hiding a family feud. , and even colluded with Fan, Guo, as well as the Zhao family and Liao spies. Several forces are plotting against each other. This is a big situation! It's a pity that even if the evil is higher, it is still difficult to escape despite the collusion of several major undercurrents. Destroyed, Daxu's foundation is unbreakable! " Guo Shao immediately understood what Wang Pu meant. The more powerful the internal rebellion forces are, the more powerful the imperial court will be displayed This can tell the world that such a large force cannot succeed. Unpredictable people have to weigh how much strength they have! Guo Shao immediately said seriously: "Wang Shijun has a sharp eye and can see the conspiracy at a glance." Huang Binglian was the only one left standing there with a puzzled look on his face. Everyone else spoke seriously and said it as if it was true Guo Shao looked at it, Huang Binglian was the most What he is good at is criminal law, but his political skills are somewhat lacking. However, he said nothing and did not question, which shows that he has gained some experience after serving as a cabinet assistant for those years. ¡The three ministers resigned, and Guo Shao did not deal with the memorial. He rested his mind in Yangde Hall for a while, then slowly filled the teacup with water to water the plants in the basin. Not long after, Fu Jinzhan came in from the study. Guo Shao put down the cup in his hand, sat down on the couch, patted the seat next to him, and said, "I should take the initiative to show Li Yuan'er the files after the case is finalized. I just don't know if she believes it or not." Jinzhan sat down. He came down and said softly: "As long as your Majesty has no suspicion, it will be good for the country and the government." Guo Shao sighed and said kindly to Jinzhan: "Jinzhan has paid so much for me. I wanted to repay compensation, but now I have nothing. I couldn't give you anything, but made Jinzhan continue to be troubled." Fu Jinzhan looked at Guo Shao with a half-smile: "How do you want to compensate me?" Guo Shao said: "Give me the best. You, make you noble and wealthy, make you live a happy life, have everything you want, and do whatever you want" "Brother Shao" Jinzhan's tone suddenly changed. When Guo Shao heard this title, he also stopped talking and stared at her. Jinzhan said softly: "Brother Shao's former sister, and now I, don't want anything in return." Guo Shao asked casually: "Then what do you want?" Jinzhan said: "What I want, Brother Shao has already Give it Who are you willing to give your life to in the most difficult and dangerous time, and who are you willing to trust?" Guo Shao pondered endlessly. Jinzhan smiled brightly: "Everyone is for himself, and there is no need to show affection in times of disaster. What Brother Shao did at that time was your truest side. You believe in me, and I believe in you" Guo Shao gradually understood Jinzhan's meaning. The two looked at each other silently, and the time seemed to freeze here like the still light coming in from the window. Jinzhan said softly: "I don't want Brother Shao to give me anything at all. Brother Shao can't let go of those thoughts of compensation, which is meaningless. You are such a wise person, don't you think of the simplest thing? If you are in trouble, I How can I be light and happy? If you are happy, why don't I feel comfortable?" Guo Shao was stunned, seeming to think that what Jinzhan said made sense, but why couldn't he let go of that persistent thought for so many years? ?Perhaps everyone has obsessions and weaknesses. A wise man may not be able to do or see things clearly that ordinary people think are very simple. "Brother ShaoSon, it's time for you to let go. Jinzhan's voice was like a mantra, "Let go of my sister who has passed away, and also let go of your gratitude to me." ¡± That soothing and charming voice seemed to be ethereal and mysterious, coming from the void of the sky. Guo Shao was inexplicable, as if he suddenly didn¡¯t know where he was, who he was, what he was doing, and why he was doing everything. Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
