Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Whenever she mentioned this matter, her master would interrupt her. She tried to ask several times along the way, but failed every time.

In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether the person who helped Gu Xingyan complete his rebirth and nirvana was him? Is there any way to break the "half-life" spell on him?

Even if it means exchanging her life.

As long as she can take revenge and overthrow the filthy Northern Jin Dynasty, her death is not a pity.

But he was interrupted by his master again and again.

Master Sanqing looked at her and knew what she wanted to ask, but he had promised Gu Jiu not to tell her.

……

Shu Wenbo and Hong Shuang started their journey only two days later than Li Shuang and his team, and they rode on horseback all the way, taking the official road.

Hong Shuang wiped the sweat off her forehead, kicked the horse's belly, and walked quickly to Shu Wenbo's side: "Master Shu, we have been chasing for five days, why haven't we seen A Yan and the others yet? Could it be that Master Sanqing didn't take A Yan to Mou Mountain?"

Because he rode very fast, Shu Wenbo didn't have time to drink a sip of water. His lips were chapped and his throat seemed to be smoking. He raised his head with his hands on his shoulders and saw an extremely wide official road. Except for the mountain people passing by in groups of three or four, the end of the road could be seen at a glance.

Hong Shuang threw a water bag over and said, "Drink some water first."

Shu Wenbo took it and drank it, then he felt his throat better. "It shouldn't be. Master Sanqing said before he left that he would take my little sister to Mount Mou to pay respect to the ancestor before we can go down the mountain."

He threw the water bag back to Hong Shuang and squeezed the horse's belly: "Go!"

……

Seven days later, Daliang Crown Prince Gu Xingcheng held a ceremony to ascend the throne. At the same time, he canonized Crown Princess Zhai Shuhua as Queen and honored his biological mother Shu Nanyu as Empress Dowager.

Three days later, the only emperor in Daliang's history who died at the hands of eunuchs was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

On the second day, before the morning court session began, Gu Xingcheng asked Su Chaoquan to announce the decree and issued a series of personnel appointments.

Xie Chang'an was allowed to resign from the post of Chief Minister of the Cabinet, and Taifu Ou Ou Jianglin was appointed as the Chief Minister of the Cabinet concurrently, with the respectful title of "Grand Master". The personnel transfers of the cabinet were drafted by Grand Master Ou and submitted to the emperor for approval.

The Second Prince, Gu Xingyuan, was named Prince of Chen, and the Second Prince's Palace was renamed Prince of Chen's Palace.

The request of Concubine Chen was granted and she was allowed to leave the palace and live in Prince Chen's mansion.

Gu Xingsheng, the son of Prince Ren Rui, is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards. There must be other Jinyiwei involved in Song Yafeng's murder of the emperor. The imperial guards are fully responsible for the investigation.

Yang Zhenguang, deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, made great contributions in this incident and was promoted to first-rank marquis, a title that was hereditary.

Everyone was quite shocked when they heard the decrees one after another.

It is not surprising that Gu Xingsheng replaced the commander of the imperial guards, but the Xie family had been prime ministers for generations, and they resigned this time. Ou Jianglin was already a first-rank tutor, and he actually served as the chief minister of the cabinet. He was no longer called "Prime Minister" as in the past, but "Grand Master". What an honor it was.

The most surprising thing is that none of the imperial edicts issued mentioned who would be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Even the newly found Ninth Prince was not made king.

After the morning court session ended, ministers gathered in groups of three or five as they walked back to their duty rooms.

"The Jinyiwei was created by the previous emperor. This morning, I thought the emperor would appoint a new commander for the Jinyiwei, and have the new commander conduct a thorough investigation together with the Imperial Guards or the Ministry of Justice. How come nothing happened? There has to be someone to take over the Jinyiwei, right? My Lords, what do you think the emperor is thinking?"

"Yeah, I find it strange too. Normally, if we send one person from the six ministries to investigate Song Yafeng's deeds in Jinyiwei in recent years, why didn't they mention it?"

Another person pointed his finger at this and that and said, "You guys are so ignorant, so ignorant."

Everyone gathered around: "What's the matter? Lord Shen, do you have any gossip?"

Lord Shen asked mysteriously, "Your Highness, Gu Xingyan is back. Everyone knows about this, right?"

"Tsk, this isn't new. Hasn't he been back for over a month?"

"That's right. This is something you should talk about. Wasn't he found in a tavern in Shengjing City, Northern Jin three months ago? I heard that when they were found, he and the youngest grandson of General Liang's mansion and the son of Duke Shu were almost beaten to death because they had no money to pay for their meals. Later, we learned that these three people were in Beijing for the first time and had been doing farm work in the fields before."

Several people laughed: "A farmer prince? He's a farmer from another country, but a prince from our country. This has never been heard of before. Hahahaha."

"Don't laugh. Don't you think he's too low-key? Apart from the two times when His Majesty ascended the throne and the late emperor was buried, few people have seen him. And he didn't say much during the whole process. No one knows what kind of person he is. Oh, by the way, on the day Song Yafeng was killed, someone saw him say a few words. I heard that he was a powerful character. He was able to anger Song Yafeng in a short time and kill the eunuch named Wu Mao."

Everyone was puzzled: "Master Shen, what exactly are you going to say? Stop keeping us in suspense."

Lord Shen approached the crowd and asked mysteriously, "Do you think our emperor is planning to hand over the Jinyiwei to this peasant prince?"

"Oh, no way? To be in charge of the Jinyiwei, one must have good martial arts skills, right? What kind of martial arts can a peasant have?"

Another person lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you hear that he was chased by that person all the way back to Sijiu City? He must have some martial arts skills, otherwise how could he have returned so smoothly?"

"Tsk, even if a farmer has some martial arts skills, they are only for dealing with a few petty thieves. He has some mediocre skills. It must be because Ou Jianglin has been protecting him all the way."

Several people nodded. That was right. After all, Ou Jianglin was both civil and military. Not only was he the Grand Tutor, he also held the reins of the Cabinet. He had escorted the Ninth Prince all the way. Although he had suffered some minor injuries, he could still ensure his return to the Sijiu City.

Several people had an idea in their minds. It seemed that the new emperor wanted to clean out the Jinyiwei before letting his younger brother take over.

But everyone was a little confused. Logically speaking, even if they wanted to hand over the Jinyiwei to him, he should be made a king first.

After all, as a prince, many things become much easier to do.

Someone lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that His Majesty is not only planning to give him the Jinyiwei to train, but also wants to hand over the country of Daliang to him?"

Everyone nodded suddenly, "Yes, yes, it's very likely. Your Majesty is in poor health. According to the imperial physician, he will live for five years at most. And he has no offspring. After a hundred years, if he doesn't pass the throne to his brother, will he pass it to Prince Chen?"

"Then let's..."

"Hush, look again. At this critical moment, we must be extremely careful and cautious, otherwise, it's hard to say how long our heads can stay on our necks."

"Master Shen is right."

"It seems that the six ministries are still too idle. You gentlemen actually have the time to gossip here." A cold voice sounded behind everyone.
