The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 208
[Chapter 206]
Shen Yu asked this sentence because he suddenly thought of another function of “Scarlet Dream”: being deliberately used to create an epidemic.
In the previous life, Shen Yu personally experienced this purgatory scene. Since someone in the previous life would use “Scarlet Dream” to create an epidemic, what about this life?
Gu Huai has been looking for clues about “Scarlet Dream”, did he also know something?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shen Yu knew that if he wanted to confirm this, it would be the quickest way to ask Gu Huai directly.
Shen Yu : “Your Majesty, can you let Gu Huai enter the palace?”
Shang Junlin: “Did A Yu know something?” Shen Yu
: “The defeat of the Lin family army is too weird, and Gu Huai is also investigating Fei Meng. ‘, Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said about ‘Scarlet Dream’? There is a new drug mixed with certain medicines that can make people show the characteristics of contracting the disease. I suspect that the defeat of the Lin family is related to the ‘Red Dream’ is inseparable from the relationship.”
Gu Huai’s true identity has not been released to the public for the time being, because of the Lin family’s affairs, he has become the person most concerned by the ministers of the DPRK and China during this time.
All kinds of greetings kept coming, and they wanted to make friends with him. Many aristocratic families took a fancy to his identity and appearance, and wanted to betrothed their girls to him.
The latter have always been rejected.
“Doesn’t Xiao Huai want to marry a well-educated woman back?” Imperial Physician Gu asked as he put the published medical books back.
“Brother wants me to marry?” Gu Huai made a move on his hand.
“When you grow up, naturally you should have your own home.”
Gu Huai tightened his hand on the scroll, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
Someone from the palace.
Gu Huai went out for a trip, and came back after a while, saying, “Brother, I’ll go into the palace.” The
emperor called him, and he could only go.
Gu Huai was taken all the way to the imperial study by the little eunuch.
“I see your Majesty, Your Majesty.” Seeing the two of them, Gu Huai saluted.
“You don’t need to be polite, come here and take a seat.”
The eunuch who was serving brought a chair, and Gu Huai sat down with his robe up.
“To announce you into the palace today, I want to ask you something about the Lin family. To be precise, I want to ask you about the Lin family army.” Shen Yu put down the teacup and said.
Gu Huai was accustomed to the relationship between Shen Yu and Shang Junlin: “I don’t know what your lord wants to know?”
“I want to know if there was another secret behind the defeat of the Lin family’s army? Is this secret related to ‘Scarlet Dream’? ”
Your Majesty is very careful, this matter is indeed hidden. In the early years, the minister rescued a clerk who used to work in the Lin family army. He told the minister that the Lin family army was in a very bad state before the expedition, as if he had got something. It’s an emergency, but no one has reported such a big thing, or it’s been pressed by others.” Since it was guessed, Gu Huai no longer concealed it.
“Why didn’t you say these things to the same party?” Shang Junlin frowned.
“Because there is no conclusive evidence in the hands of the minister, the chef died not long after he was rescued. Apart from this person, the minister can no longer find any witnesses related to the incident at that time.”
Gu Huai knew that Mr. Fang was A good official who enforces the law impartially, all the evidence in his hand has been explained to Mr. Fang, and the rest are not completely certain.
“I have been investigating secretly for so many years, but I have not been able to find out who did this thing. All the clues were broken. I thought, instead of telling the truth, it is better to continue to investigate secretly.”
“You proposed to be the Lin family. If the people who did these things were still alive, they would definitely be vigilant and even take action. If you don’t say anything, you will only make your situation even more dangerous.”
“I know. ”
You want to use yourself as bait to catch the person who did something to the Lin family? But have you ever thought that that person might no longer be there?” Shen Yu’s voice was slightly deep.
From the accident of the Lin family to the present, there have been too many things in the middle. Just when Shang Junlin ascended the throne, many people in the court were executed.
“It’s the minister who didn’t think carefully.”
“Now, are you still unwilling to tell the truth? You already have suspicions in your heart, don’t you?” Thunder.
“I do have people who have doubts, but I can’t say that I don’t have any evidence in my hands. Even if your lord is willing to believe your words, you can’t implicate your lord because of this matter. I hope your majesty and your lord can give me some time. I will definitely be able to find evidence.”
For this reason, Shen Yu could not force Gu Huai to say anything.
“Your Majesty thinks, who is the one who did this?” After Gu Huai left, Shen Yu half leaned on Shang Junlin and asked.
“Could it be the first emperor?”
“It shouldn’t be. If he wants to kill, he can choose any reason to kill. There is no need to do it.” The
Lin family case involved a lot of people, and they were ordered by Shang Junlin. What should these people do? Disposal, fortunately, after Shang Junlin ascended the throne, the court officials changed blood, which did not affect the officials who were serving.
The aristocratic family was too tired to deal with this matter, and could not take care of what happened among the people. Taking this opportunity, under the instigation of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, movable type printing was further promoted.
Not only the capital, but other bookstores also learned this method.
When the aristocratic family reacted, they could no longer easily intervene in this matter.
At this point, how could they not notice that Shang Junlin had been involved in this matter from beginning to end.
“Your Majesty is really good at making plans. He used the Lin family’s affairs to divert our attention and caught us by surprise.” The officials who were close friends from the family gathered together to discuss this matter.
“Should we just let it go? If things go on like this, what advantages will the family have in the future?”
“Otherwise? What can we do? What are we doing openly against him? Not to mention the imperial court that is now controlled by him, just a few years ago, how many people who fought against him would have a good end?”
“Your Majesty thought . What I have done will never stop here, and let’s see, the next thing will only make the family even
more
unacceptable.”
The former officials who suffered grievances were able to reverse the case, and every day, there will be new developments on the matter in the People’s Daily.
After negotiation, the imperial court will give these people some compensation. Although the damage caused is irreversible, it can make up for a little.
After waking up from a nap, Mu Xi brought Shen Yu’s snacks: “Young Master, the news of ‘Yinghuo’ is back.”
“Huh?” Shen Yu was not yet fully awake, and his voice was nasal.
“It came from Bei Mo.” Mu Xi put the snack on the table aside, took out a secret letter, and handed it to Shen Yu.
When Jiang Huaiqing went to Beimo alone, Shen Yu sent people from “Yinghuo” to follow. After several months, “Yinghuo” came back with news.
Shen Yu unfolded the secret letter and read it one by one.
The letter wrote about “Yinghuo”‘s arrangement in Beimo and the news it had heard, as well as Jiang Huaiqing’s progress.
After arriving in Beimo, Jiang Huaiqing came into contact with a minister according to Da Huan’s people who stayed in Beimo, and after receiving his appreciation, he was recommended to the third prince who had the power to compete for the throne.
After becoming the staff of the third prince, Jiang Huaiqing successfully helped the third prince to win the power seizure with the second prince, and severely suppressed the second prince. The prince accomplished several difficult things and completely became the confidant of the third prince.
By the time the secret letter was sent, Jiang Huaiqing had already had a place beside the third prince, and the third prince valued it very much, and the third prince would also value the opinions raised.
Shen Yu got the news, and Shang Junlin also got the news. Yin Longwei pretended to be a servant and followed Jiang Huaiqing to protect him and get the most accurate news.
“Did Ayu know from the beginning that Jiang Huaiqing was competent for this task?”
“Jiang Huaiqing is a flexible and informal person. When he proposed this plan, he was the first person I thought of.” Shen Yu did not deny this.
“When he comes back from Beimo, he can stay in the capital directly.”
Shen Yu sat on the swing, Shang Junlin pushed the swing for him behind his back. In the world, only one Shen Yu can be treated like this by the emperor. .
When the prime minister came, he happened to see this scene.
Eunuch Meng hurried forward to report: “Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here.”
“Your Majesty, let’s go.” Shen Yu turned his head and said to the people behind him.
“Ayu will go with me.” Shang Junlin wrapped his arms around the gloomy waist and picked him up.
Shen Yu couldn’t, so he had to go with Shang Junlin.
The prime minister was announced to the palace by Shang Jun, and he was talking about Jiang Huaiqing’s affairs in Beimo. Now Jiang Huaiqing has won the trust of the third prince of Beimo. The situation is better than they imagined. The first step has been played. Take the second step.
The prime minister is the palace for the next arrangement.
“What Huaiqing did is really beyond the minister’s expectations.” The prime minister was accustomed to Shang Junlin discussing matters with a gloomy expression, and his expression did not change.
If possible, he would prefer Shen Yu to become an official rather than appearing occasionally. For example, this time, the plan was first proposed by Shen Yu, and the candidates were also proposed by Shen Yu. They could send other people, but the effect would definitely not be good. There will be now so good.
“The next step is to find a way to make the civil strife in Beimo take longer. The third prince alone will definitely not be able to do it. When the third prince is strong, we can send Subei to take action.” The prime minister said.
“That’s right, only if we are evenly matched and don’t let one party become bigger, we can prolong the time as much as possible.” The
prime minister deliberately led the topic to Shen Yu, and as a last resort, Shen Yu said a lot of his thoughts.
“We can’t let Bei Mo feel that we are intervening in a short period of time. Otherwise, under the action of external forces, they will be twisted into a single rope and unanimous. When doing this, we must grasp the timing and scale.” After
some conversation, the Prime Minister Satisfied and left, Shen Yu leaned on the back of the chair and sighed: “This matter is clearly solved by Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, why does the Prime Minister insist on me saying something?”
“The Prime Minister has always been talented, with Ayu’s talent, if When you enter the imperial court, you will definitely be reused by the Prime Minister.” Shang Junlin knew the Prime Minister’s thoughts, after all, the Prime Minister praised Shen Yu’s talent in front of him more than once.
“Your Majesty is really unique. If other ministers were to point at me and scold me, the harem would not be allowed to do politics.” Shen Yu chuckled.
“There is no such thing here,” Shang Junlin stretched out his hand, “Ayu, come here, didn’t you ask Yinlongwei to investigate Zhuli before, but Yinlongwei has found something recently.” Shen Yu
walked over and was caught The man pulled his arms into his arms.
