Chapter 259 Covering the sky with one hand?

"There are rumors in the palace, including the court - at the beginning, the Guo family colluded with Liu Xun, the Xichuan governor, to intend to rebel against the country. At that time, the former emperor was trying to attack the vassal town. Who would have thought that the descendants would actually do such things? However, thinking of the Empress Dowager Wenhua and Guo's ancestors made great contributions to the state, so many people supported the initial court discussion. Only Guo Shou and his older sons, his young sons and grandchildren, including his old wives and married women, originally intended not to be investigated. Du Qingtang's expression was a little ethereal, "However, in the end, I tried my best to exclude public discussion and resolutely asked for severe punishment, especially with the police, which led to the extinction of the direct lineage of Fenyang County!"

He looked at Yuan Xiu, with a faint cunning look in his eyes. "You said that you don't blame me, because even if I was called a hand covering the sky, it was not that day, and your Lord did not complain about the day because Zeng Ze was killed by you... But if you know, the Guo family is simply If you are wronged, will you continue not to complain?

However, Du Qingtang was disappointed this time. Yuan Xiu did not even tremble with his hand holding the tea bowl. He slowly took a sip to moisten his throat and put down the tea cup. Then he said indifferently, "The first time I heard about this incident, I knew that the Guo family was probably wronged, but the Duke of this temptation was in vain."

She said that she was calm and even taken for granted.

Du Qingtang frowned.

Yuanxiu said lightly: "The ancestor Guo is the direct bloodline of the Duke of Fenyang County. Earlier, he came out of the only empress dowager of this dynasty so far. When he arrived at the previous emperor of the previous dynasty, he came out of the mother and queen of this palace. What's more, there was the owner of the East Palace at that time, who was the brother of this palace! No matter how you look at it, the Chang'an families, even if you collude with the vassal town, the Guo family will not let go of the glory of the descendants and run to join hands with the vassal town! Moreover, although the Guo family is a Wuxing clan, since Emperor Suzong, military power has gradually fallen into the hands of eunuchs, and even the royal family has to be controlled, not to mention the Guo family? Moreover, Xichuan is not far away from Chang'an. The mountains and rivers are long. In addition, the two towns of Xichuan and Dongchuan, which originally belonged to the same town, were later separated and retreated 10,000 steps. Even if the Guo family wanted to collude with the vassal town, why didn't they choose the vassal towns closest to Chang'an, such as Longyou, to choose Liu Xun? Liu Xun, who has a deep foundation in Xichuan, is he still more than the three towns in Hebei? If it were this palace, I would rather go to Hebei. Once I fail, at least I can still save my life. I choose Xichuan... The terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but that's why people can go, right?

At the beginning, the Guo family colluded with the Xichuan jiedushi. One of the evidence was that Guo Shou secretly arranged to go to Xichuan for the eldest son, eldest grandson, etc., who were originally active in Chang'an for serious illness, illness, etc., and even bought a large number of field cloth in Xichuan, and could not help but show goodwill to Liu Patrol in private... Just as Yuan Xiu At that time, Guo Shou was already the father-in-law of the dynasty, and his direct grandson was also appointed as the East Palace. In this case, only Liu Xun would please Guo Shou. How could Guo Shou please Liu Xun?

Therefore, many people who were close friends with Guo Shou at that time wanted to defend Guo Shou, but they were speechless in front of the evidence from the imperial envoy Xichuan.

"I just said that your empress dowager Xiao Wenhua, but now I think of Emperor Xianzong." Du Qingtang seemed to smile and ordered Du Guanqi, "Go and light a furnace of incense to wake up." He explained to Yuanxiu, "I'm old, and now it's summer, and my spirit is inevitable. I hope you don't care about it."

Yuan Xiu looked at Du Guanqi after turning into the screen: "Does the Duke still use essence and fragrance?"

"I only use essence and fragrance." Du Qingtang said proudly.

"I asked this question, but I remembered that Yan Xiaolang once asked why the prince only loved this fragrance." Yuan Xiu said thoughtfully, Du Qingtang narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Your master, you don't have to test it. I will never admit that I know that man!"

Yuanxiu ignored him, but said slowly, "When my mother went, I was only three years old. I was ashamed that if I hadn't left a picture, I couldn't even remember the appearance of my mother. I only remember that my brother cried very sadly with my palace in my arms... However, the father-in-law must also know that Xue Shangyi, the wet nurse of this palace, said that she was a wet nurse. In fact, she is also the wet nurse of my palace, and when the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian is no one in private, she will also tell me what kind of person my mother is.

At this time, Du Guanqi had already lighted the fragrance from behind the screen. The fragrance was aweigh. Yuan Xiu was a little uncomfortable. He took the opportunity to drink tea and shook out the sachet used to use Ruilinxiang from his sleeve and put it under his nose before continuing, "It's just that whether Xue Shangyi or Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, when she mentions her mother, she always said that she was gentle. Xiande Shuliang didn't know more about his mother until he asked the old people around him in the previous Japanese palace.

She looked at Du Qingtang meaningfully and said word by word, "The Duke must have understood the mother of this palace. Not to mention the mother's methods. If the Guo family really did such a rebellious thing, how could they hide it from their mother? The mother is not childless. Is it safe to be the empress dowager or an uncertain princess? Moreover, if she chooses the latter, I may save her life, but my brother will definitely die! How can the mother let such a thing happen? What's more, from Xue Shangyi's description, the maternal ancestor in this palace, who had never met, treated his children, especially his mother and Xue Shangyi, loved him very much. At that time, the eldest grandson of the maternal family had married, and the maternal ancestor made his grandson happy. What did he do to rebel?

Du Qingtang listened quietly and interrupted here: "Your master said a little less - if the Guo family really rebelled, the Empress Dowager Wenhua would not fall down easily!" He looked at Yuan Xiu strangely and sighed, "Just because your master is still young, he will not understand the heart of being a parent. There is a saying that women are weak, but strong as a mother. For your Lord and today, the Empress Dowager Wenhua will stabilize her mood anyway, and will never be greatly stimulated by this to have a difficult delivery..." He closed his eyes, "So, when At the beginning of today, he ascended the throne and wanted to replace me with Wei Zao. Your Lord should know that when Emperor Xianzong was in power, he trusted me very much. At the end of the previous day, the old officials of the old man's family could be said to be all over the court and the opposition. Even if he clearly supports Wei Zao today, I am not helpless. The reason for retreat is that I have promised Empress Dowager Wenhua must give a step to her child when necessary. Now it is, so is your Lord.

"So can the Duke tell me that the Guo family was falsely accused of colluding with the Xichuan jiedushi with the intention of plotting rebellion - the reason why the Duke and the former emperors would destroy their clan?" Yuanxiu's face was calm, but the hand holding the fan had been exhausted. Because of the force, her fingertips were blue and white. If the handle of the fan had not been good ebony, I'm afraid it would have been broken!

Du Qingtang took a deep look at her and looked strange: "Didn't you have seen the eldest son? Haven't you seen those two pictures yet?

"One fruit, one kernel?!" Yuan Xiu was shocked by the force of her hands - she has been practicing bows and horses diligently in the past few months, and her strength has also grown. Originally, she pinched the handle of the fan in order to suppress her emotions. At this moment, she was excited and only heard a crisp click!

The fan handle is broken!

Du Guanqi, who had been standing behind Du Qingtang, appeared in front of Yuan Xiu at the moment when the handle of the fan was broken, reached out and grabbed the fan, so that Yuan Xiu could avoid hurting her hand. She shivered her hands. After two breaths of chaos, she shouted, raised her sleeves to cover her hand, looked at Du Qingtang fixedly, and said in a trembling voice, "Duke! You...you also believe..."

However, Du Qingtang's calm and pitiful eyes made Yuan Xiu's last trace of luck in his heart disappear!

"Everything is born in the earth, and twenty-nine will come true first!" Du Qingtang smiled faintly and said, "At the beginning, Guo Shou revealed the push to the eldest son for the Empress Dowager Wenhua and Xue Shangyi. Back. The first two elephants in the picture don't expect that the eldest son's good intentions made him plan early, but brought a disaster to the Guo family... Maybe there is a chance in the dark, and Dezuo is not enough. Even if he knows what will happen in the future, it will be difficult to escape, right?

That's what he said, but from the bottom of his eyes to his face, he was expressionless.

Yuan Xiu looked sadly and looked at the fragrance of the stove in the room, and couldn't say a word!
