After leaving Fengjin river harbor, the land was short of Gu Fu's carriage, which had been waiting here for a long time. He Tao, Cheng Yuan, Feng Yang and their cavalry pulled down the screw horned horse and the fierce wind beast from the boat, and they also closely followed the carriage. The horse and the fierce wind beast had been on the boat for more than half a month, and finally they could be down-to-earth. They were all excited, Even as the elite cavalry, it's a good way to calm down the mood of the mount.
"Lu que, when I left Changqing military camp today, marshal Lu gave me a letter to hand over to you." Not long after the carriage started, Gu Qianxue took out a letter from her arms and handed it over.
"Father?" Lu que frowns slightly. He just got off the boat and hasn't entered the city yet. He doesn't understand why his father asked Gu Qianxue to hand over a letter to him. There's something he can't say when he goes home. Lu que takes the letter and sees that the paint is in good condition. He doesn't shy away from Gu Qianxue and Gu Qingcheng. He opens the letter in front of them.
Seeing the familiar handwriting, Lu que smiles. His father's handwriting is still strong and strong. But when he sees the content of the letter, the smile on his face disappears and his eyes are shining. The letter said, "the family may have a secret plan, and the Chongyang incident may be reborn. If there is an accident, my son should be able to make self-determination and act accordingly to eliminate Wuji."
"Lu que, what does the letter say?" Gu Qingcheng saw that Lu Que's face had changed and knew that something important must have happened. He asked quickly.
Gu Qianxue is also curious. Recently, the emperor has been in a turbulent situation. His father ordered him to stay in the Changqing army, and he just got promoted, so he also needs to be familiar with military affairs. And he knew that there were Princess Chang and Duke Wei in the capital, and there was his father Gu Huairen in the outer Pavilion. No matter how noisy they were, they couldn't make any trouble.
Lu que took a look at them and handed the letter to them.
"How is that possible?" The handwriting on the letter is not much, Gu Qianxue glanced at the above content, can't help exclaiming.
"It's a good calculation." Although Gu Qingcheng slightly frowned, he didn't feel too surprised. When the Chongyang exam was released the year before last, Lu que was attacked and killed outside the Xuegong, which was the beginning of the rebellion between amhuang and the eighteen marquis.
Now some people think that it's a foregone conclusion for Lu que to be in a higher position. According to the character of those aristocratic families, they must have ambushed the dead on their way back to Beijing. Once they succeed, they must have put the blame on the remaining evils of the eighteen Marquis's residence, or put out some scapegoats to take the blame. By that time, Lu que was dead, After the new emperor ascended the throne, no one could contain the development of the aristocratic family..
"Brother Gu and sister Qingcheng, it's dozens of miles from Fengjin Hegang to Qianyuan city. If anyone wants to do it, they will choose daozuo mountain forest outside Qianyuan city. Now there must be someone around us to watch and spread the message. Go to the corner at the foot of the mountain in front of you and get off the car while the mountain blocks your sight. This is for me, You'd better not get involved in Gu Fu. " Lu que rubbed the temple, his mind turned quickly and said.
"Your Majesty has married you and me. Can we still be separated?" Gu Qingcheng's eyes moved and shook his head with a smile.
"Now the Gu family and the Lu family are clearly separated. In the eyes of outsiders, the Gu family of Dingguo and the Lu family of Weiguo have long been tied together. Someone wants to deal with you, just to deal with our family. I can't just watch my sister be widowed before she gets married." After the shock at the beginning, Gu Qianxue also reacted quickly. As the son of the Dingguo government, he naturally understood what those people wanted to do. Although his mouth was smiling, his eyes narrowed.
"In this case, let's learn the means of the aristocratic family." It was said that landing lacked rhythm and knocked on the carriage, which was the warning signal of Yulin scouting camp.
"General, what can I do for you?" After a while, he Tao's low voice sounded out of the window. The Yulin scouts camp is the elite of the Yulin army. Although the number is relatively small, everyone's combat power is inferior to the famous troops such as swift wind riding and thunder riding. Moreover, they are scouts, and they are very proficient in marching, spying, guarding and attacking. Even when they arrive in the capital, they don't relax their guard, Hearing the sound of the car, he Tao immediately felt something had happened, and quickly picked up the reins and came to the side of the car.
"Please be careful. Something may happen later. You are all soldiers who have made great contributions to our country. You can't be here." Lu que doesn't worry about his own safety. Since his father sent a letter, there must be arrangements, but he can't let the soldiers who followed him through the battle of Danshui and the battle of hexingyuan die in this conspiracy for no reason.
"No He Tao did not ask what would happen, agreed, quietly left, mixed into the cavalry, the message carefully passed on.
"Lu que, who do you think it will be?" Gu Qianxue didn't have the slightest worry and fear on her face. On the contrary, she was a little excited. Although this kind of thing has never happened before, it rarely happened in the two hundred years since the founding of the state of Da Qian. If those aristocratic families really started, then the capital city will surely set off a bloodbath.
"I don't know." Lu que shakes his head and takes out a stack of paper pieces from the wide sleeve. This is just Duanmu ye who secretly gave it to him when he met.
"What is this?" Gu Qingcheng has been with Lu que all the time. Although she can't say that she is sleeping and eating together, she can be sure that Lu que didn't have this thing before she got off the ship.
Lu que also put his eyes on the pile of paper, which was cut out of Lu Que's favorite snow paper. On each piece of paper, there were a lot of small characters written on the head of flies. The contents recorded on it were all the family officials and their family members who opposed the sealing of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng's official posts this time, including the family location, the name of the prefecture, the family members and the old relatives in law, It's all recorded one by one.
Lu que roughly turned it over. There were dozens of them in this stack. Each one recorded a family, and the font on it was different. Lu que could see that it was the handwriting of Zhuge Yan, Duanmu ye and Lin Qingyu, and the ink was very new. It can be seen that these materials were sorted out by them during this period of time.
Lu que was moved. Zhuge Yan didn't think that someone wanted to kill him, but he sorted out the information of those officials so that he could have a clear idea. Lu que has read all these materials, and they are more detailed than those written by the three people. When he was assassinated, his mother got him all the information about Da Qian's xungui, aristocratic family and court officials above five grades, including secret guards and secret guards. Lu que just glanced at them in a hurry, and his mind automatically rang out who these people were.
"Nothing, just something interesting." Lu wants to take the paper back, but after thinking about it, he gives it to Gu Qingcheng.
"This is ~" Gu Qingcheng saw the above content slightly stunned, immediately reflected what was written on it, roughly turned one side, Gu Qingcheng slightly sighed and said, "this is just duanmuye for you?"
"Yes." Lu que admits that duanmuye is already very strong, but he has grown a little higher in the past few months. Just now, it was him who blocked people's sight with his big figure and gave him these things.
"You have made a group of good friends. As expected, there are no ordinary people who can live in Fengming ruishe, even duanmuye who looks simple and straightforward." Although Gu Qianxue didn't take a piece of paper from Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingcheng sat next to him and knew the above content at a glance.
"My father and Gu Xiang also lived there. Is brother Gu talking about them?" Lu que took the pieces of paper from Gu Qingcheng's hands. When his hands shook, the pile of dozens of pieces of paper suddenly turned into pieces of pieces of paper the size of soybeans. Then Lu que crumpled the pieces of paper into a ball of paper, lifted the car curtain and threw them into the canal not far away. Before he was sure who the enemy was, these things would be destroyed after seeing them, Otherwise, it may bring trouble to Zhuge Yan.
"Good Kung Fu." Gu Qianxue's eyes brightened when he saw Lu Que's hand. He didn't use all his strength when he saw Lu Que's casual appearance. However, whether it was to smash the pieces of paper, or to knead them into a ball and throw them into the canal more than ten meters away from the official road, he needed strong control. If it was too strong, the pieces of paper would be scattered in the air. If it was too weak, it would not be thrown into the river, Gu Qianxue boasts that even now he can't do Lu Que's freehand brushwork.
"Brother Gu laughs. When he left the school, he was in the realm of controlling Qi. This year has passed, and he must have gained some benefits. How can he see his kung fu as a little brother?" Lu que smiles.
"It seems that you are reaping a lot in xiyuanze. You must talk to me when it comes to this." Gu Qianxue looks at Lu Que and his sister Gu Qingcheng excitedly, but finds that their accomplishments are like a layer of fog, which makes people unable to see through and curious.
"We'll talk about it later." Gu Qingcheng slapped his brother in a bad mood. When is the time to ask about this? Lu Que's superior position has damaged the interests of the aristocratic family. Lu que has the support of nobility and poor family behind him. He has been in a high position since he was young, and has become a Pillar Stone. It's no surprise that Lu que will be the Assistant Minister of Daqian Dynasty hall in the future, People in the aristocratic family naturally need to get rid of it quickly. Even if they know the means of the aristocratic family early, they can't be prevented“ Lu que, are you sure that if someone wants to do something, they will choose daozuo mountain forest? "
"The camp of Changqing army is in the northwest of Qianyuan City, to the north of Tingtao lake, to the southeast of Fengxiang army, to the South and east of Fengming academy, and to the southwest of Fengjin River port. When you return to the capital along the official road from here, you will definitely pass through the mountain forest, which is the remnant of the west mountain of the capital. Although the mountain is not high and the forest is dense, it is also overgrown with vegetation. You can't find out where thousands of people lie, When we go back to Beijing, he Tao and his troops will accompany us. Those people can't be unaware of it, so as long as they want to fight, they will choose there. " Lu Que's tone was flat, and he didn't care that the purpose of these people was to kill him.
Gu Qingcheng and Gu Qianxue both nodded. Then Gu Qianxue suddenly said, "do you think your majesty knows this?"
"How can your majesty not know what the Duke of Wei knows? Otherwise, the royal secret guards, shadow guards and secret guards will be abolished." Gu Qingcheng turned his eyes. Maybe it was the emperor behind his back who wanted to get rid of these people by Lu Que's hand.
"Then why did your majesty do that?" Gu Qianxue thought and asked. Daqian's court hall is divided into three factions: xungui, aristocratic family and humble family. Only with mutual constraints can the present court hall be stable. No matter which side is powerful, it will cause the imbalance of the court hall structure, so the first one to bear the brunt is the imperial power. Gu Qianxue doesn't understand why the emperor wanted to take advantage of the aristocratic family at this time.
"Brother Gu, do you remember why Da Xuan of the former dynasty was subjugated?" The light of wisdom flashed in Lu Que's eyes.
"Don't you think so?" History is a compulsory course for the Academy. How can Gu Qianxue not know why Da Xuan of the former dynasty was subjugated.
As a unified dynasty before the Daqian Empire, at the peak of the Daxuan Empire, its territory was even broader than that of the present Daqian empire. Although the northern border of Daxuan was only along the blue river, and there were no piaoyueshan and Hanshan mountains advancing northward, at least the two countries, Tianxing and Nanli, were the territory of Daxuan at that time.
After twenty-four emperors and more than six hundred years of history, Da Xuan died in the hands of the aristocratic family. During the reign of emperor Jingzong of Da Xuan, after hundreds of years of development, the aristocratic family had reached its peak. The imperial court formed a clique for personal gain, strived for power and profit, and even developed to the point that all non party members were heretics, impeached whether they were upright or not.
In order to pull the Empire out of the abyss, Emperor Jingzong proposed to increase the business tax, lift the sea ban and trade with the western regions. At last, Emperor Jingzong had a fierce fight with the imperial family He died of vomiting and diarrhea.
After ten years, the royal family abolished the emperor for Da Xuan. Later, the royal family established a five-year-old son of the royal family as the emperor. Twelve years later, he died of a serious illness and mourned for Da Xuan. Since then, the royal family has become prosperous and controlled the government. Some even say that the emperor is in charge of the capital division, and the royal family is in charge of the local area for the emperor.
However, all the emperors in the last dynasty of Da Xuan failed to live over 20 years old, which shows the madness of the aristocratic family. Until the collapse of the imperial power of Da Xuan, these aristocratic families turned into warlords, broke the soil and divided the territory, and became independent one after another, which directly evolved into a chaotic world of princes lasting for hundreds of years.
In the period of emperor Xuandi before Daqian, the aristocratic family once again took control of the government. No matter whether they were noble or poor, they could not take advantage of their advantages. They used justice to do private interests and public opinion to suppress the king, forcing emperor Xuandi not to go out of the palace and indulge in pleasure. It was not until Lu Chun, Ji Zhiheng and Bai Lijia, the three heroes of the poor family, rose up and broke the balance of the court situation. In addition, Luo canglan, Zhuge Xingzhi, and Gu Shouren, the veteran and staunch officials, finally suppressed the edge of the aristocratic family.
However, apart from the Qing Yang empire which was destroyed in the early days, Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, had been recuperating and developing his national strength. With the growth of the national power, the aristocratic family became more and more powerful in the local areas, just like the maggots of tarsal bones and blood sucking insects, which grew up with the strength of Da Qian. Even the emperor felt that he could not do it.
Lu Que's father, Lu Chun, is the leader of the poor family. He also has the support of xungui and the royal family, so he is the best choice to deal with the suppression of the aristocratic family. People with good eyesight can see this. Naturally, the people in the aristocratic family will get rid of it quickly, because as long as Lu que dies, no one in the future will be able to defeat the poor family, xungui and the royal family If the royal family forces are integrated together, then the chance of aristocratic family will come again.
After thinking about all this, Gu Qianxue shivers and looks at Lu que with some worry, because he knows that this is a life and death struggle. If he is careless, he will be doomed. The means of the aristocratic family are just beginning. Even if he fails this time, there will be another one.
"Lu que, what are you going to do?" Gu Qianxue asked cautiously. At this time, he realized what kind of burden the 16-year-old was shouldering. The stability of imperial power, the interests of nobility, and the hope of poor family almost all came down on him. No wonder his mature father would take a clear-cut stand on Lu Que's side. The number of nobility was too small. Poor students had inherent disadvantages, such as no one to suppress him, In a few decades' time, Daqian is bound to rise and fall.
"Kill." Lu short very simple spit out a word, but Gu Qianxue but rushed to a strong sense of killing.
"Aristocratic families can't stop killing." Gu Qingcheng shakes his head. Even if several families are killed, a new family will rise, from the humble family to the aristocratic family, and from the aristocratic family to the noble family. Isn't the present Daqian aristocratic family all rising in the past two hundred years?
"Aristocratic families can be killed." Lu que also shook his head. "Taizu's establishment of county school, county school and nine university palace has broken the arm of his family. What they have left now is nothing more than land, wealth and the intricate relationship. It's just a matter of cutting corners."
"How to cut the bottom?" Gu Qianxue asked curiously. He didn't expect that Lu que had thought so far. If he could eradicate the troubles of his family, it would be a good thing for them and the whole family.
"There is a difference between the royal family and the common family. As long as the families of a hundred Li are divided into different families, the families of courtiers are not allowed to engage in business. I'd like to see how they maintain the dignity of their families."
"Si ~" Gu Qianxue and Gu Qingcheng both took a breath of cool air. This is a plan to dig a grave. In this way, the aristocratic family, which is scattered all over the country and has lost its financial resources, will not be a aristocratic family. But in this way, the aristocratic family will fight back. At this time, Gu Qianxue can't help thinking of Lu Que's position as a second class military commander. As long as Lu que graduated from the Academy, he will be in charge of the army, Is it your Majesty's plan that any aristocratic family can compete?
"The aristocratic families are not monolithic. Some of them are still faithful to their duties. Your majesty just wants them to know their duties."
Gu Qianxue and Gu Qingcheng look at each other, their brows are slightly wrinkled, because Lu Que's words can't be used in their Xun GUI. Thinking of the rotten things of the local people, they have a decision in their hearts at the same time.
