"This, why is it empty?" Gu Fang frowned, puzzled.

Jun Ruohan also felt that something was wrong. At least three people must be present to transcribe the dossier in the Zhangjian Division. The Chief Secretary checks and stamps the seal.So there will never be such a mistake.

Gu Fang unfolded the dossier to the end, and there were both the chief judge and the chief inspector of the Appraisal Department. If it was a mistake, it would only be like this if the participants were all in a daze.

"The fifth year of Jingyuan..." What exactly happened, made everyone silent, but got a unanimous acquiescence.

"In the fifth year of Jingyuan, my father was only 20 years old, the year he was just named General Jingnan." Gu Fang said, he was not even born at that time.

No matter how young his father was, he was a general after all, how could he do such an outrageous thing in front of the imperial court.

"Okay, no matter what it is, it has been so long. Old General Gu has still been a general for decades, defending the world for Da Yue, which means that the person he killed must be the one who deserves to die. Don't worry about it any more."

Since it is something that no one wants to mention, it must not be a trivial matter, Jun Ruohan has an intuition that if this matter is revealed, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Gu Xin nodded absently: "You are right."

He looked at the blank file in his hand, at the time at the beginning, the fifth year of Jingyuan...

This time is so familiar, he must have seen it more than once, where exactly did he see this time?

Unknowingly, the two of them had sorted out most of the pile of messy files. When Gu Fang looked up, he found that there was no light in the room, so he hurriedly grabbed the person who was still digging through the pile of books: "Your Majesty, it's getting late."

The two actually stayed in the attic for most of the day.

Jun Ruohan took a look, and it was so.He got up and dusted the dust off his body casually, and said: "Organizing files is more interesting than reviewing memorials."

Gu Fang shook his head in his heart, he was probably the only one who could say such a thing, who would want to be a young envoy who worked tirelessly to sort out files instead of being an emperor.

"Back pain..." Jun Ruohan stretched his arms and felt pain in his waist, shoulders, and legs.

"Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so you should also pay attention to exercise!" Gu Fang said meanly, "It's not a good sign to lose your waist at a young age."

After finally spending the afternoon peacefully and happily, he began to be disrespectful again.

But seeing that Jun Ruohan was wearing a solemn and solemn dragon robe, with a lot of dust on his face, he looked like a big tabby cat, with a little childishness, Gu Fang took a clean handkerchief and wiped it carefully for him stand up.

"You haven't tried it, how do you know that my waist is not good?" Jun Ruohan stared at his thin lips with a smile in his eyes, enjoying the rare caring of his senior brother, but his hand pinched his waist dishonestly.

Gu Fang's waist was pinched, and he wished he could jump three feet high. He jumped back like a rabbit and almost missed Jun Ruohan's chin. He pointed at him with a handkerchief, so angry that he couldn't speak A: "You, you..."

"Me what?" Jun Ruohan said.

"You..." Shameless, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, this little rascal is the king of a country!

Gu Fang was very aggrieved, and in the end he could only shake his sleeves bitterly and stay away from him.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, do you want to drive back to the palace?" Lu Sheng asked outside the door.

"Go back to the palace." As Jun Ruohan said, he walked towards the door, and after walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Gu Fang, "I have done a lot of things for senior brother today, and senior brother won't send you off?"

Gu Fang dare to say no?Obviously not.

Sending people to the door, bowing and kneeling: "Send off Your Majesty."

Jun Ruohan glanced at him before leading Lu Sheng away with satisfaction.

After Jun Ruohan left, Gu Fang did not leave the Zhangjian Division, but went back to the file room to pick up the blank file and examine it carefully.

In the winter of the fifth year of Jingyuan, General Gu Huan of Jingnan punished the court...

Just a dozen or so words in one line, Gu Fang sat there frowning and looked at it for nearly an hour, but didn't see why.

He wanted to know what kind of thing this was, and it would be impossible to keep everyone silent and ask the people in the Appreciation Department.

Leaving aside whether the current employee knew about what happened back then, based on his relationship with Jiang Ling, it is impossible for others to tell him anything.

Then, we can only...

Gu Huan opened the old courtyard door, and the moment he saw Gu Fang, he didn't speak sarcasticly like he did when he first entered the door. Although he looked disgusted, he still let him in.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?" Gu Huan asked while leading the people into the house.

"The cook in the mansion has asked for leave to go back to his hometown, why don't I come here to eat!" Gu Fang laughed.

The old man raised his eyebrows upside down: "Then Xiaobai doesn't have anything to eat, why did you come here by yourself?"

Gu Fang choked, careless.

"He...uh, Bai Yu took him to Prince Duan's Mansion, and I am the most pitiful, with nowhere to go."

"It deserves it." Gu Huan said so, and the next moment he shouted loudly: "The little bastard is here, go and warm up the leftovers for him."

When Mrs. Gu saw that it was her precious son, she went to the kitchen without saying a word.

It was rare for Gu Huan to accompany his son to drink two cups of wine. Of course, Gu Huan was drinking the whole time, and Gu Fang poured a glass and put it in front of him as usual, just smell it for a while.

Seeing that Gu Huan was almost done drinking, Gu Fang picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, gossiping like a normal person: "Father, when did you become General Jingnan?"

Gu Huan glanced at him, and said silently: "In the spring of the fifth year of Jing Yuan, Yu She invaded at that time, many generals were killed in battle, and I was just a young boy with a weak crown..."

Gu Fang sighed secretly while listening, his father couldn't stop talking.

He has heard the story of his famous battle since he was a child, and it can be said that he can recite it backwards, but he can't interrupt him...

It wasn't until Gu Huan finished talking about the glorious past that Gu Fang answered: "Father, you are really amazing."

"That's right." Gu Huan was not humble, he raised his head and poured another glass of dirty wine.

"Then tell me about your other glorious deeds!" Gu Fang said.

Gu Huan's old face was already flushed, and he would never get tired of those illustrious military exploits after a thousand or ten thousand times.

Gu Huan started talking about when he entered the army camp at the age of 14, until the year when he disarmed and returned to the field, he talked for more than an hour before giving up: "Okay, you have heard these old things since you were a child, so don't talk about it." said."

"That's... that's all? What else?" Gu Fang listened carefully, but didn't hear what he wanted to hear.

"What else?" Gu Huan was a little confused by him, this kid is a bit abnormal today.

Gu Fang saw that his father was already drunk, so he became bolder: "The winter of the fifth year of Jingyuan... the imperial court punished the sycophants."

"Crack!" Gu Huan first heard what he said clearly, he was still half drunk, he slapped the table suddenly, and asked with teary eyes, "Where did you hear about this?"

Gu Fang was so frightened that he called out "Father" in a low voice, but thought in his heart that this matter was not that simple.

"I haven't heard from anyone, but today when I was sorting out the files in the Zhangjian Division, I saw a blank file with only this sentence written in it, and then it was stamped. It really aroused curiosity..."

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Hearing the sound of the father and son in the room seeming to be fighting, Mrs. Gu rushed in hastily. When she saw it, it was indeed Gu Huan who was blushing and furious.

"Speak up if you have something to say, what are you doing with your temper, you scare the child." Mrs. Gu stepped forward and pulled Gu Fang behind her.

When Gu Huan heard him say that the file was a blank file, he calmed down the turbulent emotions a little bit, paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and then pointed at him and said, "Go back to your mansion, you shouldn't meddle in this matter, Don't mention it again."

"Then... I'll go first." Gu Fang knew that his father would not tell him, so he glanced at his mother, and asked his mother to send him out coquettishly.

Mrs. Gu just wanted to ask him what he said that made the old man so angry.

After leaving the yard, Gu Fang saw that his father could not hear, so he whispered to his mother what happened just now, but her mother's reaction was exactly the same as his father's.

Her lips pursed and her eyebrows frowned: "This matter is up to your father, don't mention it again in the future."

"Why, what happened that winter?" He didn't dare to make trouble in front of his father, but he could still bargain in front of his mother.

"It has nothing to do with you, don't ask anymore. Go back, be careful on the road." Mrs. Gu sent people to the door, and for the first time, her son turned around and entered the room.

Gu Fang drooped his shoulders and went home dejectedly, that's all, as Jun Ruohan said, what happened 30 years ago has nothing to do with him.

Although there was a pimple in his heart, he still decided to let it go, maybe he would forget it after a while!

……

This pimple was let go, but the other pimple, the pimple about Jun Ruohan, couldn't find a way to untie it.

He still knows a thing or two about Jun Ruohan's temperament. This person always thinks things through carefully. If he hadn't made up his mind, he would never have confessed to himself that night. Well, let's call it a confession for now!

He is so persistent in wanting a response from himself, and it's not enough if it doesn't suit his wishes. Coupled with Jun Ruohan's recent behavior, he seems to be becoming more and more presumptuous.

He is a ruler and he is a minister, so I can't point at his nose and yell at him, or beat him up.

But the child who kept silent didn't take his rejection seriously at all, besides... he didn't want to refuse in his heart.

Gu Fang was surprised, no way, he was determined to become a man of great power, how could he be fascinated by beauty, and do things that are ashamed of the country and the ancestors.

My own mind is really dirty.

Thinking in this way, Gu Fang quickly took out a book "The Way of Being an Official" from the bedside. He is a loyal minister and good general, so he must not be confused.

When Jun Ruohan returned to the palace, without delay, he recruited people to bring in the files of all the major events that happened in the fifth year of Jing Yuan, but searched through all the materials, but could not find a single mention of Gu Huan Chaotang's assassination.
