That Person In That River and Lake - Chapter 572

  Chapter 572 Old Chang’an (2)

In the 23rd year of Tiance, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the city of Chang’an is still cold, but there are no traces of snow. The New Year’s bell is about to ring. In the mansion, there was no smell of fireworks.

  Because, Wushuanghou, who had been away from Chang’an for five or six years, suddenly came to Beijing.

   This incident caught those interested people in Chang’an City off guard. No one expected that Gu Qingci would suddenly enter Beijing, which was completely beyond their plan.

Today’s rivers and lakes seem to be calm, but everyone knows that this is actually an undercurrent. Gu Qingci should not abandon Xingtian Mansion at this time and come to Chang’an regardless. Moreover, Xing Tian Mansion was jointly built by the Three Kingdoms. In order to avoid suspicion, he should not enter Beijing either.

  When the news spread to Chang’an City, it caused various reactions in an instant. Many people rushed to the palace, but Emperor Xia, who was already ill, didn’t receive a single person.

This seems to be a signal to the princes and the families behind the princes. Many people are inquiring about Gu Qingci’s news, but no one finds it. Then someone inquired that before Gu Qingci entered Beijing, the eldest princess and the third princess went to Beijing. I went to the Black Territory, but I didn’t come back.

  The third princess has always absolutely supported the seventh prince Tang Moyi. This is a well-known fact, so many people rushed to the residence of the seventh prince as if they had caught some information, wanting to find out some news.

  However, the seventh prince directly said that he didn’t know where Gu Qingci was, let alone when Gu Qingci entered Chang’an. The third princess did go to the Black Region, but Gu Qingci did not go with the third princess.

  Gu Qingci never went with the third princess, which made the other princes feel a lot more at ease. At least it can prove that Gu Qingci is not on the side of the seventh prince, and it is very likely that the two are not helping each other.

However, all the princes are not optimistic about Gu Qingci’s team, because they know very well that before Gu Qingci’s success, the princes who had the most contact with him were the seventh princes. In terms of relationship, I am afraid no one can compare. They were secretly annoyed that they didn’t make friends with Gu Qingci at the beginning, and no one thought that Gu Qingci could rise so fast and so high!

   When there was turmoil in Chang’an City because of Gu Qingci, Gu Qingci had already stepped into the imperial city and came to Qin Tianjian.

  He had already sensed the smog in Chang’an City on the way here, but what he didn’t expect was that the imperial city had become chaotic, and there was a storm in the dark, and all forces had inserted their hands.

  In the attic, Gu Qingci stood on the porch, overlooking the imperial city, and sighed: “Unexpectedly, the imperial city has become like this. I’m afraid your Majesty will have a hard time. Sir, how long do you have?”

  Gu Qingci turned around and looked at Mr. Wuque.

  The first person he came to see when he entered the imperial city was Mr. Wu Que. He needed to understand the current situation of Chang’an and the imperial city.

However, he was a little surprised the first time he saw Mr. Wu Que. Mr. Wu Que, who was always calm in the past, has now become very depressed. , he was relying on his cultivation base, he had nowhere to rest his breath, and he couldn’t control it perfectly, walking like a storm.

Mr. Wu Que shook his head and said: “To be precise, I don’t have time. I should have left a few days ago. The **** of death has already come, but in order to wait for you, I have been holding on. Today’s Chang’an You have already seen that the major families are secretly stirring up the wind and rain, and the imperial city has been infiltrated by those princes, if you don’t come, I dare not leave!”

  Gu Qingci nodded, he had guessed the current situation of Mr. Wu Que, and it was indeed similar to what he guessed.

   “Sir, what does Your Majesty think?” Gu Qingci asked.

Mr. Wu Que said: “When you came to Chang’an, you should have already felt that there are many more masters in Chang’an city. These are people from those families, and they are all waiting for my old bone to leave. As for what your majesty thinks, you should You already know it in your heart!”

   “Seventh Prince.” Gu Qingci said flatly.

“I’ve watched the establishment of the Kingdom of Xia until now. Several generations of emperors have been thinking of ways to control the family. Until now, this His Majesty’s methods have become more intense, suppressing the family until it can’t breathe, but the other princes are still dying. This is simply to destroy the achievements of several generations of the royal family, you said, can His Majesty tolerate it?” Mr. Wuque said.

Gu Qingci sighed, and said: “To be honest, from Tang Yun to Heiyu, I guessed that His Majesty chose the Seventh Prince, but I am not optimistic about the Seventh Prince. If it is a stable era, the Seventh Prince is undoubtedly a Good emperor, but in this troubled world, the Seventh Prince is really inappropriate, and I want to avoid suspicion about my relationship with Empress Gu.”

Mr. Wu Que shook his head and said: “The greatest calamity in the century-old catastrophe is not in hell, but in the chaos of the family after hell, the seventh prince is very smart, maybe because of Queen Gu, he always keeps in mind that staying away from the family, this It’s time, but I have to choose him again.”

“I understand.” Gu Qingci said: “However, I don’t want to interfere in the affairs of the court, I will do my best to protect the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne, but I will not stay in the imperial city like you. “

“You don’t need to guard,” Mr. Wuque said, “as long as you survive the century-old catastrophe, the aristocratic family will be hurt this time. Let’s see if the royal family recovers quickly or the aristocratic family, it will be the future emperor’s family.” The matter has nothing to do with you.”

  …

  In the Qin Tianjian, Gu Qingci and Mr. Wuque met once, and went to visit Yuan Tianshi, who was now seriously injured, before leaving and heading for the harem.

  As soon as he left the Qin Tianjian, he felt a lot of gazes, and under his divine sense, he felt that no less than ten people were leaving to communicate with the outside world.

He knew that these were the eyes of those with a heart in the imperial city, but he didn’t stop him. He knew very well that it was impossible to stop it. Moreover, he didn’t believe that Emperor Xia didn’t leave any behind. After all, Emperor Xia has the final say on the city, even if it is an emperor who is on the verge of death.

  I learned from Mr. Wuque that now Emperor Xia is living with the empress in the Yangxin Garden, and with the guidance of Mr. Wuque’s spiritual thoughts, it is rare for him not to get lost once, even in the deep courtyard of the palace.

   However, as soon as Gu Qingci arrived outside Yangxin Garden, a dozen court ministers walked towards him.

  Gu Qingci walked forward, and the group of ministers also came towards the gate of Yangxin Garden. When they were at the gate, both sides stopped!
