Three days later, the matter of Gu Cheng wantonly searching for Yun Dian in an attempt to obtain the Immortal Fang was secretly presented by the Third Prince.
Duan Chengxuan was the first to learn of this matter. He had hoped Gu Sheng would kill Gu Cheng as soon as possible, but had instead received a letter, "My father vanished without a trace yesterday, please take note, Prince."
"Send people to silence him. In addition, let him know that those who are keeping their money are all gone." Duan Chengxuan gestured grandly.
At the same time, Gu Liuyan had also received the news, and he only sneered: "Well done, ghosts. Gu Cheng, we won half, and we sent him to Yan City to be dealt with by Yun Dian. We pushed all the suicides onto him."
Duan Chengrui looked at the people in the room coming and going. Yue Qing and Chang Yiqin sat to the side, staring dumbfoundedly at the stack of messages in Gu Daiyan's hands.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu Danyan put down the things in his hands and said, "Have Wang Mo light the private school up. He had sent someone to investigate the crime of marrying Gu Sheng."
At night, the flames burned the heavens, and under the orders of Wang Mo and Zheng Qiong, they wantonly went to the Prime Minister's Estate to seek an explanation.
Duan Chengxuan stayed up all night, but the next day, he found out that the private fire incident had been caused by one of his officials. The Third Prince was in the imperial court, hoping that the imperial government would allocate funds to him, and also saying that he could investigate the various taxes.
A group of aides came to the Residence of Prince Jing and wailed loudly, "If the emperor really finds out, then we won't be able to protect our black muslin hats anymore."
"The matter of the tax revenue has already been tampered with, not to mention that you, your highness, used a hundred thousand silver coins to settle the flood refugees. This hole really can't be filled."
The group of people chattered nonstop. After pondering for a long time, Duan Chengxuan angrily said, "Tell me about Gu Cheng's disappearance. Since Gu Cheng has gone missing, as long as we don't get in front of the Emperor, there's still a turning point for us."
Four hours later, Duan Chengxuan's soldiers secretly held onto the four city gates.
Gu Sheng angrily threatened Princess Ling'er with her evidence. Duan Chengxuan told Su Yu Wan to go over and use the lives of Hua Li and Gu Zi Wu to gag him, "If this matter gets exposed, only you and Gu Cheng will die. But your two younger sisters, don't tell me you're just going to watch them die."
"Why not die together?" Gu Sheng intended to fight head on, but the two sides were deadlocked.
While they were stalling for time, Duan Chengxuan had actually already sent people to bury the scattered silver taels and the place where he had stationed the troops. On the other side, he instructed Chenshan, "Send the ministers to settle the burning for Gu Sheng."
"But didn't we break with Gusheng?" Chengshan didn't understand.
"At this moment, we are all grasshoppers on the same line. We are splitting on the surface so that the Emperor will no longer be suspicious." Duan Chengxuan's gaze was awe-inspiring. "Send another letter to the Emperor saying that I misjudged the prime minister that time, and that I am guilty."
As soon as this matter played out, the Emperor sent people to investigate it carefully.
On the other side, Gu Danyan listened quietly to what was happening in the imperial court. After thinking for a while, she said in a deep voice, "Release the matter of the suicidal act and tell me that the ghost is actually the ancestor of the Yun Family. Once she appears, Navy Tide will return the throne."
"This is related to the Yun clan." Ghosts did not agree.
"It's only natural to be involved. Also, I'd like to invite Your Highness to continue handling matters of the private school. The time has not come yet for the evidence of Gu Cheng and the corrupt officials to be submitted." Gu Daiyan lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and his palms were already covered in sweat.
"When is the time coming? The imperial court is in a state of chaos right now. If you add in the matter of the mountain ghost, everyone in the imperial government would be terrified." Yue Qing slapped the table and stood up, feeling that she was making a ruckus. "Don't really think that just a few rumors from your Yun clan can change the current situation."
As she finished her sentence, she was met with a cold glare from Gu Pingyan, "It was only Meng Xu alone who changed the situation. The Mountain Spirit matter was just to give him a big gift."
Yue Qing was even more confused.
When the next day came, Meng Xu raised the matter of Mountain Spirit's death in the imperial court. He decided to execute a female prisoner right in front of her and said that things were messy and needed to be resolved one by one.
Duan Cong had been seeing things for a long time, and even though she had gotten the news from everywhere, the court officials were still unhappy with the offspring of the Humble Class. They secretly borrowed Dong Feng to suppress the offspring of the Humble Class, but the remaining Humble Class offspring of the Humble Class, who were present in the imperial court, were all standing on the Third Prince's side.
This subject believes that this matter involves a great deal of things, so why don't we first put on the agenda of such an important matter like the private school? The matter of the mountain ghost must be caused by those people who are against the will of the mountain ghost. Meng Xu clasped his hands and confessed in the imperial court.
"Then who do you think should be the Prime Minister for now?" Duan Cong narrowed her eyes.
"Of course you can't hand it over to anyone, but the Emperor can divide the Prime Minister's position into two, one on the left and one on the right." Of course you can't hand it over to anyone, but the Emperor can divide the Prime Minister's position into two, with one on the right and one on the right.
When these words were spoken, the court officials went into an uproar.
Before he could say anything, the Third Prince had already walked out and cupped his hands in salute, "This son believes that Lord Meng's words are reasonable, moreover, it's only the matter of the private school setting fire, so it's not a big deal. Right now, the best method is to find a way to build a good foundation before winter, and after the Autumn Competition, we can choose a good teacher for the private school, and also act as a replacement for the court."
Seeing the chaos being dealt with in such a orderly manner by the two of them, and the third prince personally giving his feelings to Gu Sheng, many people secretly exclaimed in admiration.
However, Duan Chengxuan was not someone who was easy to deal with. Although Meng Xu was a man of his own faction and his words were fair and impartial, he did not agree with the Emperor's words. "This subject agrees with what Lord Meng and Third Prince have said, moreover, with the Autumn Hunt approaching and the envoys of the other countries coming, this matter is still of utmost importance."
Duan Chengrui's heart thumped. He originally thought that his words would be a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that Duan Chengxuan wasn't in a rush either. At a time like this, it was equivalent to giving the other party time to search for evidence.
With a quick thought, he realized that the Third Prince had indeed saved Gu Cheng that year. Both of them had committed the crime of bullying the sovereign.
Returning to the Third Prince's Mansion, after Gu Daiyan heard these words, she restrained her smile and thought for a long time: "Duan Chengxuan is rather patient in the overall situation. If I want to take him down, not only do I need the evidence of a corrupt official, I also need an ironclad evidence."
"The evidence is the best evidence." Duan Chengrui was curious. "Royal Uncle has made countless meritorious deeds during his battles, where did he get such ironclad evidence from?"
"It was an ironclad proof that he wanted to become the Emperor. Since Meng Xu was able to reverse the peace and quiet of the Imperial Court with his own neutral faction, then between the Emperor and Duan Chengxuan's brothers, they would only need an eye." With that, Gu Danyan made a gesture with her hand and said softly, "Has Su Yuwan made any moves recently?"
