Chapter 84 Chapter 84 "What a lunatic!" [More...
==Chapter 84==
Gu Yushi also noticed something from Shen Feiran's attitude, but he didn't feel moved.
He had no good feelings towards Shen Jingchen, only dislike.
This kind of annoyance would not be directed at Shen Feiran, but he really did dislike Shen Feiran.
The grace of giving birth and raising a child are the most difficult debts to repay in this world.
She had lived under the care of others her entire life and had never enjoyed the love and affection of the Shen family. Her maternal grandparents' family that raised her was also implicated by the Shen family. Now she was going to lose her life in vain because of the Shen family's reputation.
Is Shen Feiran pitiful?
Maybe.
But Gu Yushi didn't care, he was not the culprit who caused Shen Feiran's misery.
Apart from his innate responsibility to take care of his family, he only needs to be responsible for the safety, happiness and sorrow of one person.
Once Shen Jingchen succeeds in his goal, will Shen Feiran be the beneficiary?
The answer is self-evident.
Shen Feiran's identity destined her and Shen Jingchen to be in the same camp naturally. No matter in the past life or this life, Shen Jingchen would plot against Feng Wenyu, and Gu Yushi would never let Shen Jingchen live.
If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will definitely cause trouble in the future.
Shen Feiran didn't say anything else, and silently accepted the future arranged for her by Shen Jingchen.
She just asked Gu Yushi:
"Will the Lu family... be implicated?"
Gu Yushi felt that she was asking knowingly, so he raised his eyelids and asked, "Could it be that the Lu family took you in because they sympathized with you?"
Gu Yushi's tone was so calm, even sarcastic, that it made people fall silent:
“Everyone should be responsible for their own choices.”
The Lu family took in Shen Feiran, perhaps to repay Shen Jijiu's cultivation in the past, but Gu Yushi didn't believe that the Lu family didn't know Lu Minxing's purpose. The Lu family's idea was just to seek wealth and honor in danger.
Risking the lives and property of the entire clan to gamble on a possibility.
Then the Lu family should be clear about the consequences they will have to bear if their plan is exposed.
After Shen Feiran left, Gu Yushi didn't plan to waste time on Shen Jingchen. Just as he was about to turn around, Shen Jingchen suddenly called him, his voice hoarse:
"How can I trust you?"
Gu Yushi paused and turned to look at Shen Jingchen.
Shen Jingchen looked up and looked him in the eye. He said, "How can I trust that you won't go back on your word?"
Shen Feiran and he share the same blood, and Feng Wenzhou's threats had some effect on him, but that was all.
Once he signs, the Lu family will be implicated, and Shen Feiran's last peaceful place will no longer exist.
Moreover, who can guarantee that Gu Yushi and the Feng family will not decide to completely eliminate Shen Feiran in order to ensure that there are no worries?
Gu Yushi understood the implication of his words and did not make any excuses or promises. He just asked him:
"What do you want?"
The surroundings were quiet, and there were still traces of tears on Shen Jingchen's sleeves. The night was getting colder.
Shen Jingchen was silent for a long time before he said, “Send her to a place where no one knows her, and tell her to start a new life, get married and have children.”
"She hasn't been back to the Shen family for over ten years, so she may not have any affection for them. She won't be a threat to you. Once she gets married and has children, she will be tied down by her offspring, and it's even more impossible for her to take risks again."
Gu Yushi narrowed his eyes.
Of course he could hear that this so-called marriage and childbirth was a solution proposed by Shen Jingchen. Shen Feiran had a weak spot and it was even less likely that he would retaliate against the Feng family and Gu Yu. In this way, Shen Feiran would be safer.
The moonlight could not illuminate this interrogation room. Shen Jingchen lowered his head and said:
“…Let her go.”
Gu Yushi glanced at Mu Fan.
Mu Fan immediately withdrew. After a moment, he came in with the yamen runners, holding white paper, ink, and a box of ink pad, all of which were placed in front of Shen Jingchen.
Gu Yushi's calm voice came: "As you wish."
After a long time, Shen Jingchen finally picked up the pen.
Shen Feiran was able to survive the disaster that year only because Lu Minxing needed to exploit his weakness.
She is a relative, a burden, and also the medium through which Lu Minxing trusts him.
He cared about her only because she was a member of the Shen family, but compared to the Shen family, he didn't care about her that much.
He should not have been moved at all, after all, she was just a girl he had only met a few times.
But he remembered that his grandfather had chosen to support the former prince for his sake.
His life is his life.
A-mei’s life should also be her life.
She should not only be a member of the Shen family, but also his blood brother and sister.
Shen Jingchen asked himself, did he really want to send her to die?
Years of planning were ruined in the blink of an eye.
Shen Jingchen closed his eyes and thought to himself, how ridiculous.
Shen Feiran, Lu Feiran...
No matter your name, just live well.
This was the last thing he could do for her as her brother.
******
As soon as Shen Jingchen's confession was presented, the entire court was in an uproar. Prince Wende was only imprisoned back then, and he chose to commit suicide. However, Prince Wende actually left behind a bloodline?
Only then did everyone realize how Lu Min dared to commit such a heinous crime as murdering the prince.
It turned out that when the emperor was on his southern tour, Prince Wende and Lu Minxing's little daughter had a brief affair. They were going to bring the person into the palace after returning to Beijing, but later Prince Wende rebelled and the matter was left unresolved.
At that time, Lu Minxing's youngest daughter was already pregnant.
Originally to protect the reputation of the women in the family, this matter was kept secret. After the incident with Prince Wende, Lu Minxing eliminated all those who knew about it one by one.
Now the emperor's grandson is in the Lu family.
No wonder Lu Minxing deliberately wanted to murder the princes and even stir up trouble among the princes.
If all the princes of Emperor Wenyuan were deposed, and a descendant of Prince Wende appeared at this time, Emperor Wenyuan would definitely choose this grandson to succeed the throne.
Everyone was so shocked by this confession that they dared not speak and looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never imagined that someone would be so bold.
Secretly holding royal blood?
Moreover, by doing this, did Lu Minxing want his grandson to take the throne, or did he want to establish a puppet emperor?
Emperor Wenyuan looked at the confession expressionlessly for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed, as if he was just chatting casually:
"It seems that there are far more people who covet my position than just my rebellious sons."
His voice was unremarkable: "You are truly my beloved."
As soon as these words came out, both the princes and the court officials were filled with fear, their hair standing on end, and they knelt on the ground one after another in silence: "I dare not!"
Gu Yushi, who had personally submitted the confession, was now kneeling in the middle of the hall, with his head bowed, waiting for Emperor Wenyuan's order.
After a long moment, Emperor Wenyuan sneered, and the silent palace was filled with thunder.
"Gu Yushi, Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, received the imperial edict."
There is no doubt that this is definitely the biggest event in the past two years. Even the Gao Party’s factional activities are not as serious as this.
All the officials in the hall held their breath instinctively, not daring to make a sound for fear of being taken out on by the emperor. Some of them also subtly cast their gazes towards the man kneeling in the middle of the hall.
Gu Yushi stood up, took a step forward, lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Wenyuan, waiting for the next instruction.
This year, Emperor Wenyuan fell ill once. Perhaps he also sensed his physical condition. The pressure on his body became stronger day by day, and his self-cultivation skills became more and more pure. Now, Emperor Wenyuan's face was not only not angry, but also happy. No one could see any emotion on his face.
But everyone knew that the calmer Emperor Wenyuan was at this time, the more frightening it was.
Emperor Wenyuan picked up the brush and wrote only one word on the memorial presented by Gu Yushi. Then he threw the brush away, and the next moment, the memorial was thrown in front of Gu Yushi.
Gu Yushi lowered his head and saw the word written by Emperor Wenyuan - Kill!
The last stroke of the word "kill" was dragged out very long, which was enough to show the murderous intent in Emperor Wenyuan's heart. His voice came out in a cold and sinister voice:
"Order the Junior Justice of the Dali Temple, Gu Yushi, to thoroughly investigate this matter. Anyone implicated in this case will have their entire clan executed. If anyone resists, I will grant you a special pardon and execute you first, then report to the emperor!"
The word "kill" and the call to execute first and report later caused everyone to be frightened.
Gu Yushi's voice was cold and without hesitation: "I accept your order!"
With the capital as the center, the impact of this incident quickly spread to the surrounding cities.
Everyone was vaguely aware that Gu Yushi's actions might completely change the situation in the court.
Who is Gu Yushi?
Since he entered the officialdom, he has been highly valued and trusted by Emperor Wenyuan. He is a knife in the hand of Emperor Wenyuan.
Everything he did must have been authorized by Emperor Wenyuan.
Lord Feng walked out of the palace. He looked up at the sky. Dark clouds covered the sun, and it was more than just wind that was about to start.
Feng Rongyu walked with him. Feng Rongyu did not dare to speak all the way. Now that they were out of the palace, he dared to ask in a low voice:
"Father, you said the Emperor—"
The words were still unsaid, but the worry in his eyes could hardly be hidden.
In just one sentence, the sky became increasingly gloomy, and the stronger wind was faintly filled with moisture, as if it was going to rain.
Elder Feng's voice was also lost in the wind:
"Our Majesty is also going to appoint a crown prince..."
Sigh.
Emperor Wenyuan reigned for thirty-two years. He knew how to use talents well, reduced taxes and levies, and made the people rich and the country strong. He was also known as the emperor who came to pay tribute to the country. Even though he made mistakes in his later years due to the transfer of power, compared with his achievements, he can still be called a wise monarch.
But now, their Majesty is old, and he is silently paving the way for his successor.
Lord Feng sighed silently.
For a minister, no matter how talented he is, if he does not meet a wise ruler, his life would be in vain.
The moment Gu Yushi stepped out of the imperial study, he couldn't help but look back.
A wise ruler and virtuous ministers.
In his previous life, he overly suppressed the Gao Party, forcing it to death and angering Emperor Wenyuan. But in the end, Emperor Wenyuan valued his talent and in anger only sent him away and demoted him.
As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he was recalled to the capital, and Emperor Wenyuan spent a lot of time and effort on this.
Regardless of past and present lives, the person who gave him the opportunity to make drastic changes in the court was Emperor Wenyuan. If it were not for Emperor Wenyuan, there would not have been Gu Yushi who later held a high position of power.
A new emperor appoints new ministers.
Even though the new emperor had been on the throne for several years and he was deeply trusted by the new emperor and was finally second only to him, in Gu Yushi's eyes, he was still a minister of Emperor Wenyuan's reign.
A suppressed cough was heard from inside.
Gu Yushi bowed his head silently, stepped back step by step, and finally turned around and left.
Clean up the government and assist the new emperor.
Your Majesty, I will remember your instructions and will not let you down.
When Feng Wenyu heard that the case of Lu Minxing was settled, the capital was in turmoil and bloodshed, every family was terrified, and the people also sensed something, so the streets were unusually quiet.
Those involved in the case will be executed along with their entire clan.
The Dali Temple will review and the Ministry of Justice will execute.
Yan Yunhe had watched heads fall to the ground for several days and could not help but curse:
"What a lunatic!"
