Wearing the white moonlight of a rival

The post from Changting Hou Mansion to enter the palace was quickly returned, and Wei Minghuan did not agree to meet anyone from the Gu family.

When Gu Heng heard the news, his brows furrowed instantly. He couldn't figure out what the mad dog was thinking. Logically speaking, with the other party's keenness, it was impossible not to notice the turmoil behind the recent incidents in the capital city, but why didn't he want to? How about a showdown with the Gu family?

Could it be that he also wants the Gu family to perish?

It's just that he refuses to say a word, or it's Wei Minghuan's doing behind this, taking the Gu family under the knife, and then using the Gu family's name to attack other aristocratic families, so that the aristocratic family can be weakened again and again, Consolidate the status of the emperor and centralize the imperial power?

Gu Heng was thinking about these things, and he didn't eat much for dinner. After getting the news, Gu Yu came soon.

The servant behind him was carrying a big three-story food box, Gu Yu put on a face when he entered the door, "No matter what situation the Gu family is in, they will never let you work hard with hunger!"

"Brother!" Gu Heng looked up at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu said coldly: "Your body is so weak now, even if Dr. Lin said that there is no serious problem, but after all, it is not as good as the body that has been practicing martial arts all year round. No matter what happens, you have to take good care of yourself. Our family is not exhausted until we are in poverty. When food is running out, there will always be a way.”

Gu Heng hummed and nodded.

The servant hurriedly put the sumptuous meals on the table, and Gu Yu said again: "I'm watching you eat, you have to eat two bowls of rice, and you have to eat up all these dishes."

Gu Heng looked at Gu Yu in bewilderment. In the past 20 years, he had never been reprimanded by his elder brother for such a trivial matter, but now he is treated like a child who can't eat. This kind of treatment and feeling is really strange and novel.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up some food, and then raised his head to look at Gu Yu, "Brother, are you really looking at me like this?"

"Really." Gu Yu was really serious.

Gu Heng sighed, "I'm already in my dozen years old, and I'm not a child, why do you want me to take care of the food like this?"

"If you like to eat, I don't care about you, but I heard from Shen Yu that you only eat two bites for dinner, so what's the matter? You finally came back, don't I have the heart to look at you..." Needless to say, Gu Yu, the son of Gu's parents, couldn't say anything.

Gu Heng looked at Gu Yu steadily for a while, "Brother, I will be fine, you, father, and second brother can rest assured that I will never give up my life easily this time."

"No matter where the Gu family is, don't do the stupid things you did six years ago." Gu Yu said seriously.

Gu Heng bent his lips, "Brother, how do you judge that I will do something stupid?"

"Because I know you." Seeing Gu Heng's smirk, Gu Yu immediately straightened his face, "Don't be so playful with me, don't you still see the gaudy intestines in your stomach after being a brother for so many years? I, value the Gu family more than Ah Zhuo, I know this very well, you can do anything for the Gu family, but..."

Gu Yu paused consciously, "You also have to think about yourself. In the past six years, my father has had a hard time. He regrets that he accepted your request. In fact, the Gu family didn't try to go further, and didn't get involved in the fight for the throne. Maybe You are now married and have children, or you have become a general guarding the border."

"I still remember the armor that your father loved the most when you were a child. You once said that you want to practice martial arts well, and go into battle to kill enemies and defend your family..."

Gu Heng sighed and interrupted Gu Yu's memories, "It all happened when I was a child. The Gu family was not a powerful minister who was good at planning, but an upright general. We would rather die on the battlefield for the rest of our lives." up, but..."

Gu Heng closed his eyes, "Probably fate is holding us back, so we have to move forward. The Gu family has a queen and a concubine, so how can we stay out of it? Big brother, you and your father and second brother Don’t blame yourself, everything is my own choice.”

"Then what do you want to choose now?" Gu Yu asked suddenly.

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gu Yu to ask such a question, looking at the familiar eyes of his elder brother, he seemed to feel that he had been seen through.

Did the elder brother know something?

"I..." Gu Heng couldn't open his mouth, let alone speak clearly, but seeing Gu Yu staring at him intently, he had no choice but to continue: "The aristocratic families in the capital have coveted my Gu family for a long time, and now they have become one because of the Duke of Qi's mansion. Thinking about the time when they work together to be unbreakable, I will definitely not be able to please them, let alone find any breakthrough."

"So?" Gu Yu continued to ask.

Gu Heng thought for a while, "Wei Minghuan is the only one now...the current quarrel in the court is precisely because the emperor has not made a statement. If that mad dog can stand on our side, we should be more careful, not to mention the Duke of Qi. If the mansion peels off a layer of skin, at least it can vent bad breath for my aunt."

"You believe in His Majesty's strength so much? If His Majesty also wants my Gu family to die without a burial, don't forget that you, Gu Heng, were the one he hated so much."

Gu Heng laughed, "There is no permanent enemy, only permanent interests. You have to show something considerable and pay a corresponding price to impress the other party."

"So have you already thought about what to impress His Majesty? Or have you already made a choice?" Gu Yu asked step by step.

Gu Heng raised his head and looked at Gu Yu puzzled, "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Gu Yu took two steps in the room, "It's good to have a meal, don't be lazy just because you talk to me."

Gu Heng was very helpless, he only had one mouth, but Gu Yu insisted on asking him, and if he answered, he would not be able to eat.

After eating two mouthfuls obediently, Gu Heng asked Gu Yu again: "Brother, what exactly do you want to ask me?"

"You..." Gu Yu said hesitantly, "What relationship do you have with His Majesty?"

When Gu Heng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "What's the difference? I've been an enemy for many years, and I can't wait for the other party to suffer. Naturally, death without a whole body is the best."

"But I heard that when you died in Dali Temple, His Majesty brought Lou Diyu and the present Habayashi guards, and almost smashed the door of Prince Shun!"

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, "What else is there?"

Gu Yu affirmed: "Of course there are. The Gu family is not deaf or blind. What happened back then was about you. We have inquired about the reactions of all parties, especially His Majesty, who is the sixth prince."

Gu Heng nodded after listening, but did not speak.

Gu Yu said again: "Does Your Majesty know about your return?"

"Of course I don't know." Gu Heng was sure, "I only told you, and no one else knew."

Soon, he remembered that when Lou Diyu was listening on the roof when he woke up, what he said to Shen Yu was enough to arouse the other party's vigilance and attention.That person has a close relationship with Wei Minghuan, how could he not tell the latter about such things?

Could it be that Wei Minghuan has already guessed his identity?But thinking about it carefully, if he really guessed right, he wouldn't have said the words of confession to himself last night, after all, this matter was quite embarrassing, that mad dog will suffer for his face, if he really knows that today's Gu Heng is once I am afraid that the little affection in my heart will disappear with it.

How could it be my turn to live to this day?

"Ah Heng, you should be clear that the Jingji Guard is directly under the command of His Majesty, not to mention Ah Zhuo, even if his father orders him, he can't move. What's more, the man in charge of the Jingji Guard is the boy of the Wang family, who has always been with me. The Gu family has no friendship, and there are rumors behind their backs that they belong to His Majesty, if not for His Majesty's approval, I am afraid that it would have been impossible for the soldiers to surround the Duke of Qi's mansion last night."

"You want to say..." Gu Heng said slowly, "Wei Minghuan was actually on our side early in the morning?"

"The maid who testified is in the hands of Jingjiwei. I received news again this morning that Lou Diyu was dispatched again last night."

Gu Heng pondered, "It's impossible for Lou Diyu not to follow when the emperor climbed over the palace wall."

"You really have a connection with His Majesty." Gu Yu immediately grasped the point, "Did you see Your Majesty last night?"

Gu Heng sighed, "Yes, but big brother, even though that mad dog shows signs, he is still very cold-blooded without enough benefits."

Gu Yu thought for a while, then said: "Third Brother, do you know what His Majesty said to Father when he entered the palace last night?"

Gu Heng asked keenly: "Apart from betting, what else?"

"Your Majesty pointed out a way for my father. He said that the current draft edict is the best way to solve the difficulties of the Gu family."

"Well, you mad dog Wei!" Gu Heng scolded immediately, "It turns out that you have already made a plan! No wonder you didn't even answer the post today, just waiting for us to make a choice?"

Gu Yu said: "Ah Heng, elder brother is not blind. In the past few days since you came back, His Majesty has sneaked into Gu's house again and again. What is the reason? Why did Lou Diyu go all the way to Hanshan Temple? It's not for the Gu family, it's for you alone."

"So, brother, I don't want to see what happened six years ago happen again. Of course, this is also what my father meant." Gu Yu said seriously, "Ah Heng, you don't have to make yourself wronged for the Gu family anymore."

The last sentence suddenly made Gu Heng want to cry for some reason.

For so many years, he has never lived for himself, and when he suddenly heard this sentence, it was said by his elder brother himself, he couldn't help feeling extremely sad.

But in the end, he never said a word, and everything was speechless.

After a long silence, Gu Heng said: "Brother, I have my own way to negotiate with Wei Minghuan, as long as he sees me."

Gu Yu didn't speak. He walked to the window and suddenly mentioned a past event, "I remember that when His Majesty was still a desolate prince who was abandoned at the border, one year he brought three thousand soldiers into northern Xinjiang and killed the Di people. The name of "three ins and three outs" is still talked about by everyone today. However, at that time, His Majesty was too impulsive, and Di Ren had already made a fuss and ambushed a hundred thousand soldiers outside Yuhaiguan... ..."

Gu Heng frowned, "Brother, what do you want to say?"

"That was the 29th year of Yonghe. If someone hadn't guarded Yuhaiguan for more than a month, His Majesty's bones would have been buried in the wilderness of northern Xinjiang." After saying this, Gu Yu turned her head and looked at Gu Heng fixedly.

Gu Heng barely avoided Gu Yu's gaze, "What is there to mention about the past?"

"At that time, you were already an aide of the Fourth Highness, and the purpose of going to Yuhaiguan was very clear. Your Majesty deserved to die more than ten years ago, but he became famous in the first battle, and finally turned defeat into victory in the battle for the throne. You say you Back then, my heart softened, and then the Fourth Highness didn't trust you enough, and it must have been since then."

"Maybe." Gu Heng sighed, "There are thousands of unarmed and innocent people behind the Jade Customs. How dare I put them to death because of my own selfish desires? It is my only choice to stick to the Jade Customs. Fortunately, Wei Ming Huan did not disappoint me."

Gu Yu shook her head, as if she didn't agree with Gu Heng's words, but she didn't want to argue anymore.

Gu Heng thought for a while, and then said: "Perhaps this is Wei Minghuan's brilliance, he saw that I would definitely help him, so...the failure to strangle him at the border was my fault Biggest mistake. However, no regrets."
