After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 60 Confrontation
Outside Chengtian Gate, Ye Qinghuai and Gu Shihai confronted each other.

Qin Yang stood behind Ye Qinghuai, and Luo Zichang stood behind Gu Shihai.Behind the four of them was a crowd kneeling on the ground who couldn't see their heads.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a wind blew up in front of Chengtian Gate.

Ye Qinghuai's forehead hair was blown to her eyes by the wind, but she couldn't stop her sharp knife-like eyes.

In contrast, Gu Shihai's expression was much calmer and calmer.

He privately mobilized the imperial army, but at this moment in front of the emperor, he didn't have the panic and fear after the incident was revealed.On the contrary, he looked at Ye Qinghuai with interest in his eyes.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gu Ge, do you know who ordered the imperial army to go out of the city to kill people?"

Gu Shihai didn't answer.

Ye Qinghuai turned to Luo Zichang: "Luo Zichang, who ordered you to mobilize the imperial army?"

Luo Zichang raised his head and met Shangye Qinghuai's frosty eyes, knelt down immediately, and said: "It's the last general's own idea, please punish him by Your Majesty."

"Old Gu Ge, is what he said true?" Ye Qinghuai asked unhurriedly.

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai with a calm expression, and asked back: "If the subject ordered it, what does His Majesty plan to do? Are you going to kill the old subject?"

Ye Qinghuai squinted her eyes, and the lip line at the corners of her mouth was straightened.

Gu Shihai holds heavy soldiers in his hands, including the Gyeonggi Guards and the Forbidden Army inside, and the State Government Army outside. If he is convicted of secretly mobilizing the Forbidden Army, once he is forced to jump over the wall, it is possible to turn against Ye Qinghuai.

If he really wanted to kill him, with Long Yuan sword at his side, it could be regarded as the only good opportunity.

But Ye Qinghuai couldn't kill him right now.

Now that the Dajing border is unstable, if he is killed at this moment, it is tantamount to handing over the knife to the eyeing neighbors and foreign races.

Gu Shihai naturally knew the pros and cons, so he was so confident.

Ye Qinghuai stared at him darkly and gloomyly for a while, then suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "I can't kill Gu Ge Lao. Gu Ge Lao can't kill me either, can I?"

There was some appreciation in Gu Shihai's eyes, and he smiled at Ye Qinghuai, "Yes."

"In that case, why don't we talk about it." Ye Qinghuai said.

Gu Shihai didn't answer, but looked at the only open space around - beside the Dengwen Drum.

In order to prevent the students from beating the drums, an open space was surrounded by a circle of imperial guards around the Dengwen drums, and the public was not allowed to approach.

Now it has become a place for the two of them to talk.

Ye Qinghuai and Gu Shihai walked under Dengwen's drum, and stood facing each other from left to right.

Qin Yang obeyed Ye Qinghuai's order and stood among the kneeling Imperial Army not far away.

It was almost dusk, and a wind blew under the gate of the city wall, which stirred Ye Qinghuai's blood-stained clothes, but did not shake her expression.

Gu Shihai's gaze was as cold as the night, for some reason, Ye Qinghuai felt that there was always a deep-rooted hatred and sincere disdain hidden in his eyes when he looked at her.

"What does Your Majesty want?" Gu Shihai asked straightforwardly.

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, but instead of answering him, he asked: "There is something I have been unclear about, and I want to ask Elder Gu Ge."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Why did Mr. Gu Ge have to put Wang Lisong to death?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. I didn't want his life at first, but I just wanted to lock him up for a few days to cure his bad temper." He looked at Ye Qinghuai, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Yes His Majesty pursued him step by step, and only then did I have a killing intent. I would like to ask Your Majesty, why are you so concerned about his affairs?"

Ye Qinghuai paid attention to Wang Lisong at first because he died once in his previous life due to the change of Chengtianmen, but this is naturally not humane to others.

So she ignored Gu Shihai's question, and continued to ask: "What did Wang Lisong know that made you so afraid? You didn't hesitate to let him see me even in the third division's trial."

After finishing speaking, Ye Qinghuai saw surprise in Gu Shihai's eyes for the first time.

For so long, Gu Shihai looked at her as if he was watching a child playing around. He always looked confident, as if everything Ye Qinghuai did was under his control.

Except for this thing.

"How did Your Majesty know?" Gu Shihai asked, and he exuded that kind of murderous aura and coercion unique to the ranks.

Ye Qinghuai heard the probing meaning in his words, and asked back: "Is Song Zhe still alive?"

An unexpected light flashed in Gu Shihai's eyes, and he said with great interest: "I really underestimated your majesty." Then he changed his expression, as if thinking of something, and said, "If your majesty is still looking for him, don't bother .He's long gone."

He spoke casually, as if talking about the weather.

Ye Qinghuai was slightly startled, she searched for more than a month and didn't find any news about Song Zhe, so she guessed that something bad happened to him.

But hearing Gu Shihai say it in such an indifferent tone, he was still annoyed.

What did he take human life for?

An ant on the side of the road?Use weapons that are not in your hand?Or an inconspicuous dust on the hem of clothes?
Ye Qinghuai clenched her fists subconsciously.

"Where's Li Wenqing? Did you take him away before the trial of the Third Division?"

"Yes." Gu Shihai confessed.

"Is it also because of Wang Lisong?"

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai with a complicated expression. She was covered in blood, and her shoulders were still bleeding, but her expression was firm. While looking at him with gritted teeth, she was able to confront him rationally.

Almost like a wolf cub.

He didn't want to say the things the emperor asked, and thought it would be meaningless to say it, and he was playing the piano to the cow, but at this moment he suddenly changed his mind.

He wanted to know what kind of expression Ye Qinghuai would have after hearing this.

"It's a very simple matter to open a department in spring over the years. Just like recruiting troops from the Ministry of War and receiving food from the Ministry of Households every year, there are their own regulations and rules. The only difference in the opening of the department this year is that His Majesty has just been in charge. The young emperor. I, Dajing, have not had an emperor as young as His Majesty for many years."

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why Chunwei has been open for so many years, but only this year has an accident? Is it because only this year has the inside story?"

His question made Ye Qinghuai feel cold.

Most of the important officials in the court came from aristocratic families, and there were very few white backgrounds, which shows that the various systems of the imperial court for selecting scholars have long been reduced to tools that only serve the powerful class.

Freezing three feet does not happen in a day.Whether it is the loopholes in the filial piety system or the cheating of Chunwei's leaks, officials like Shi Taiping to people like Du Wenle have become accustomed to it.Obviously, such ills are by no means unique to this imperial examination.

Gu Shihai saw the hesitation in Ye Qinghuai's eyes, and he continued: "The reason why they chose this time to act is because those with a heart want to take advantage of His Majesty's ignorance and youthful spirit, and make His Majesty a sword in their hands."

After finishing speaking, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the Longyuan Sword held in Qin Yang's hand not far away.
