After Junze left, the Holy Master said to Gu Yu: "You have done a good job in Jiangnan. I promised you that I would give you a seal in advance. I will take advantage of the autumn ceremony in half a month to give you a great gift of seal."
Gu Yu was silent for a moment, then knelt down and bowed his head and said: "I am guilty."
The Holy Spirit stopped turning the Eighteen Sons in his hand and asked seriously: "What crime do you have?"
Gu Yudao: "Go back to your Majesty, you sent your ministers to investigate Zhu Jianchun earlier, and I have found out clearly. It is indeed Prince An's wild ambition. Zhu Jianchun heard the news of Prince An's rebellion in the Yang Mansion. Prince An sent people disguised as water bandits to blow up and send Zhu Jianchun to the capital.
official ship."
The Holy One said: "I know this, so I sent you to Jiangnan to find evidence of Prince An's rebellion."
Gu Yu continued: "Gunpowder is extremely harmful. I dare not take it lightly. I followed this clue and discovered that Prince An secretly made large quantities of gunpowder and transported it to Lianhaiyan, intending to use it when the imperial army attacked the city that never sleeps.
Blow up Lianhaiyan, disperse the imperial troops and flood the south of the Yangtze River, and gain a chance to make a comeback."
The Holy Emperor was furious and stood up, shouting: "How can he be so heartless and crazy! Do you think that all the people of the Yu Dynasty are just ants?"
Gu Yu said despite the anger of the Holy Emperor: "After I got the news, the gunpowder has been sent to Lianhaiyan. Firstly, the soldiers and horses stationed in Lianhaiyan are Prince An's troops. Secondly, once the gunpowder is put up, it can be taken down again."
It can be said to be even more difficult. I cannot watch my warriors from the Yu Dynasty die in the flood. I can only send people to falsely spread the news and seize the opportunity after Prince An is punished by heaven."
At this point, the Holy One already understood what Gu Yu meant.
Lianhaiyan collapsed, but it did not drown the imperial army, but caught the rebels by surprise.
The Holy Master said: "So it was you who detonated Lianhaiyan in advance?"
The Holy Master's words were addressed to Gu Yu, but his tone made it clear that it was Gu Yu who did it.
Gu Yu did not defend himself too much and kowtowed again: "I deserve to die. After having to blow up Lianhaiyan, I could only abandon my respect for Emperor Taizu and blow up Baohe Mountain, the blessed land of the Yu Dynasty.
This will prevent the spread of floods and save Jiangnan."
The Holy One was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about what to do with Gu Yu. The only sound left in the quiet Qinzheng Hall was the Holy One's turning of the eighteen pieces.
The collapse of Baohe Mountain shocked the whole world.
If Baohe Mountain collapsed on its own, it can be said that Emperor Taizu sent blessings to protect the people of the Yu Dynasty from the disaster of floods.
If Baohe Mountain collapsed due to Gu Yu's explosion...
The nature is completely different.
In the place where Sheng couldn't see her, Gu Yu's phoenix eyes were very calm. She was sure that Sheng, as the biggest beneficiary, would not blame her at this time.
She went to Jiangnan as an imperial envoy, and everything she said and did represented the Holy Spirit's wishes.
Lianhaiyan was not broken naturally, but was blown up. Countless people in the south of the Yangtze River almost died in the flood. Fortunately, the rivers and mountains collapsed to stop it.
But it was she who blew up the mountains and rivers in Bao. If word spread that the Holy Emperor, as a descendant of Emperor Taizong, sent people to blow up the birthplace of Emperor Taizu, wouldn't it be extremely unfilial?
This matter was not hidden from the public, but the person behind Jingshuang already knew that it was her, and that person was most likely someone from the palace.
Gu Yu couldn't sit still and wait for death. Rather than being exposed one day, it was better to confess now.
She is guilty and admits her guilt.
She admitted the crime she committed. But all she did was to end the war as soon as possible, to stabilize the country, and to make the Holy Dragon's throne more secure.
The Holy One wants to have a good reputation. He wants to be a wise king who will be remembered for eternity. He cannot leave behind the stain of being unfilial to his ancestors.
As a vested interest, the Holy One will not punish her, nor can he punish her.
Instead, he wanted to help her cover up the matter.
So this silence is just to control her heart.
Make her tremble in fear, and then tell her to comfort her, so that she will become even more devoted and loyal to the Holy One.
Sure enough, after the hourglass made a sound, the Holy Master said: "Get up."
Gu Yu bowed his head and said: "I don't dare."
The Holy One advised again, saying: "Although this matter has disturbed Emperor Taizu's rest, it is ultimately a helpless move."
Gu Yu said: "I feel guilty for asking."
The Holy Sage said: "If you are really ashamed, you should serve as an official in the court so that you can live your life to benefit the common people and the country."
Gu Yu kowtowed three times and said: "O minister, I kowtow to thank the Holy One for your forgiveness. From now on, I will be loyal and devoted to the Holy One, to the people, and to the well-being of the country."
The Holy Spirit seemed tired and said: "It's good if you have this intention. Your sister misses you very much, go and see her."
Gu Yu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will retire."
After Gu Yu exited Qinzheng Hall, Junze was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Songyang in front of Gu Yu's carriage, holding a whip and shouting for Li Ruo to come out.
Pingsha stood in front of the carriage without retreating, and Songyang's maid also tried to persuade Songyang to calm down.
Everyone passing by the palace gate looked sideways at the excitement.
Songyang scolded: "You vixen, don't hide in there and keep silent. If you have the ability to seduce men, come out if you have the ability."
Li Ruo was holding her forehead in the carriage. Prince Gu had said that letting her come to the capital as a concubine had two purposes.
One is to find a way to find out which officials' mansions the followers of the Goddess Cult in Kyoto are hiding in, so as not to be too passive. The concubine is very suitable for her to hide the identity of the goddess.
The second is that Prince Gu will have to fulfill the marriage granted by the Holy Father when he returns to the capital, and she knows Prince Gu thoroughly. With her as his beloved concubine, Prince Gu will have a reasonable excuse not to get close to Sun Caiwei.
Prince Gu had mentioned that Princess Songyang in Kyoto was quite difficult to deal with, but Li Ruo didn't expect Songyang to be so difficult to deal with.
Aren’t all noble ladies in Kyoto delicate and self-possessed? Why is Princess Songyang so unruly and willful?
Pingsha outside advised Songyang: "Princess, if you have anything to do, you can wait until our prince comes out. Don't embarrass me."
But Songyang didn't have the temper to listen to others' advice. She didn't even blink when she saw Pingsha. Today she only brought her maid, not her bodyguard.
Songyang was so angry that he called the palace guards. With a "pop" sound, he whipped the whip in his hand to the carriage and ordered the palace guards: "Drag her out for me, the princess."
Although the palace guards were in a dilemma, Songyang's identity was here and Gu Shizi was not here, so they still obeyed the order and took action.
Li Ruo saw that Songyang was going to dismantle the carriage if he didn't go out. He sighed helplessly, opened the door, and walked out.
Seeing Songyang's delicate face, she was slightly startled. She originally thought she was a tough dominatrix, but she didn't expect Songyang to be so delicate and beautiful, completely different from the gentle Jiangnan women she had seen.
Li Ruo regained his composure for a moment, bowed to Songyang Yingying, and said: "The slave family has met the princess, and the princess is safe."
Songyang saw Li Ruo wearing a veil and said, "It's the Gu Shizi you seduced. Why don't you take off the veil? Are you too ugly to see others?"
