Journey To the World of Film and Television

Chapter 575 Pretending to be too much!

Since the whole incident is not only a private matter between Gu Zhaoshi and Ouyang Xu, but also involves the traitor Xiao Xiang's lineage, Qingliu Qimu's lineage, as well as the current empress and officials, the factional struggles in the court are so dangerous that a little carelessness It will implicate the whole family, Song Yinzhang has been helping Zhao Pan'er in private, and he does not want Zhou Ji to be involved.

Fortunately, Zhao Pan'er went to the Kaifeng government office to sue Ouyang Xu, but failed, so he chose to do everything he could, beat the Dengwen drum, and finally ignited public opinion, bringing everything to the forefront.

For a while, the whole city of Bianjing was talking about the Queen's signal to the Guyuan to kill people and silence them. In just two days, both inside and outside the court, and even the maids in the harem were discussing this matter.

Among them, there is no lack of Xiao Qinyan's behind-the-scenes push, wanting to take the opportunity to overthrow the two mountains of Qi Mu and the Queen, and seek real power in the world.

Zhou Ji got a general understanding of what happened from the chats of the tea guests. Although he was not optimistic about Zhao Pan'er's behavior of killing and breaking the net, he didn't take the initiative to ask.

The reason why he helped Song Yinzhang before was because this girl was ignorant and like a blank sheet of paper, always trusting others easily and not having her own opinions.

If he didn't intervene, he would be like the little xenon girl who was brainwashed by the "meager", "douyin" and "little *book" in the later generations, being misled by the "good sisters" around him and pretentious.

But Zhao Pan'er is different. She knows certain things better than anyone else, and knows how to calculate risks and balance gains and losses better than anyone else. People with firm beliefs make certain choices and are also prepared to bear the consequences.

The officials overheard the court lady chatting unintentionally, and when they learned of the uproar about the incident, they couldn't help being furious when they asked what happened.

The queen didn't expect that it would reach the ears of officials, so she had to admit it.

Unbearable anger, the officials paced back and forth in front of the queen, scolding: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense! As a queen, how can you violate the law like this!"

The empress felt unwilling and said: "It was the official who personally promised to be a concubine that day."

"I just agree with you trying to get Zhao Pan'er to temporarily withdraw the lawsuit, not to allow you to instruct the Guyuan to kill the suffering master!" The official interrupted the queen, walked to the side of the couch and sat down, and said heartbrokenly: "Listen to the people outside the palace who are spreading rumors. What! The Drum Court is unfair, the court is unfair!"

"If the official family thinks that the concubine is wrong, then ask the official family to punish the concubine's crime!"

The queen knelt on the ground full of grievances, and raised her eyes to look at the officials. Ever since the officials appointed her, Chaozhong Qingliu has been criticizing her for being of a lowly background and being a vicious culprit. The culprit will be punished immediately, and she really doesn't want to be disturbed by other accidents.

Seeing that she did not repent, the officials questioned her heartbrokenly and said, "Even if Zhao Pan'er is killed today, will Ouyang Xu's reputation really be preserved? When the trial of Qi Mu in Dali Temple starts in the future, all the officials will really pay attention to her." Will anyone believe what Ouyang Xu said, and think that Qi Mu deserved what he deserved, and not you weaving wantonly? Do the people outside believe it? That's all I said, so you know yourself!"

Putting down a sentence of "I'll do it for myself", the official left with a look of disappointment.

The queen slumped on the ground, unknowingly it had been a long, long time, and when she came to her senses, the sun had already set, and the whole palace was plunged into darkness.

"Bang bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~ bang bang~"

A hasty knock on the door broke the tranquility of the Liyuan on the outskirts of the city. Zhou Ji pushed away Si Teng's arm and turned his head to look outside. The moon was sinking in the west, the sky was still dark, and the night was shrouded in darkness at the last moment before dawn.

Zhou Ji looked suspicious, put on his clothes, and disappeared in a flash. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the concierge chasing Song Yinzhang with a lantern, and advised her to walk slowly because it was dark and the road was slippery.

"Miss Yinzhang, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Seeing Song Yinzhang's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, Zhou Ji waved his hand to signal the concierge to go back to the ear room to rest, took out a tissue from his sleeve and handed it over, "It's cold at night, let's wipe it off first."

Song Yinzhang was in a state of anxiety, human life was at stake, so he didn't care about human feelings, he didn't care about wiping his sweat, he grabbed Zhou Ji's sleeve and walked out, "Young master, something happened to Deputy Envoy Gu! Can you please save him!"

"An accident? What's the matter? Didn't he just come out of the cell?"

Song Yinzhang explained worriedly: "Chen Lian risked his life to send someone to summon, saying that Fushi Gu broke into the harem at night to discuss peace with the queen. Now the Imperial City Department has been taken over by the imperial guards, and Chen Lian himself is under house arrest in the government office!"

Peace?

Can this thing be negotiated? I'm afraid they put a knife on the queen's neck to 'negotiate peace'?

He praised Zhao Pan'er for being smart earlier, why did Gu Qianfan fall ill?

Zhou Ji helplessly supported his forehead, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

the other side.

Gu Qianfan directly rejected the queen's condition for Zhao Pan'er to withdraw the lawsuit, drew a long dagger against the queen's neck, and said coldly: "In order to save my wife, I will not hesitate to sell my life to a saint. A saint often reads poems and books, and he should know that the emperor is angry. , laying down millions of corpses, and a man can splatter five steps with blood when he is angry!"

"I don't want the sage to intervene in the affairs of the Drum Academy again, but I just want you to give Zhao Pan'er a fair trial for the sake of being a woman. After this case, no matter whether you win or lose, she and I will have no complaints."

Green sharp blade, cold light.

As Gu Qianfan said, he pressed the dagger completely against the queen's neck, and the icy sharp blade touched the skin. Even if the queen had so much thought, she couldn't help but tremble and a layer of goose bumps appeared.

The queen looked down at the sharp long dagger, then at Gu Qianfan's absolutely fearless eyes, and understood that if she did not agree to Gu Qianfan's conditions, the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department could do anything.

The most important thing right now is to stabilize the opponent and save his life.

The queen did not provoke Gu Qianfan with the charges of treason, such as "entering the palace privately without being summoned by His Majesty" or "invading the harem at night and threatening the queen with a knife", and pretended to agree to his conditions and let him leave.

Gu Qianfan withdrew his dagger, and before leaving, he suddenly stopped and said, "I don't know if you know that the "Night Banquet Picture" presented by Ouyang Xu is actually real, and it was Pan'er who tried to convince the officials that the painting was a forgery. , which helped you escape a catastrophe."

"What?" The queen's face changed slightly, revealing a look of shock.

Gu Qianfan continued: "Afterwards, I asked her, you have never met the saint, why are you willing to take the risk to help? This is how she replied to the minister, she said that she had never been a lowly citizen, and she knew what it was like to be involuntary. Understand that all this is not your fault, saint."

The queen seemed to be digesting these things, she slowly distanced herself from Gu Qianfan, stepped back and sat down beside the bed.

"The reason why you want Dali Temple to strictly examine Qi Mu is to serve as a warning to others, so that no one will dare to despise you and slander you in the future; the reason why Pan'er must sue Ouyang Xu is also the same."

"Do you still think she is unreasonable?"

Gu Qianfan turned around and glanced at the queen, thinking that he had successfully persuaded the queen and the two sides reached a settlement.

Walking through the deep and dark corridor, to the door of the Queen's bedroom, and slowly opening the door, the last ray of moonlight sinks into the sky, and the last moment of darkness before dawn is coming.

Paner, wait for me.

Gu Qianfan looked up at the night sky, just as he was about to step over the threshold, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the densely packed arrows shone with metallic streamers under the dim lantern, as if the entire corridor was flooded by a violent storm.

The moon was sinking in the western mountains, the sky was not yet bright, and it was dark at the last moment before dawn. Zhou Ji took Song Yinzhang's bright wrist and floated in the air, and rushed from the pear garden to the palace with a few bodies.

"How is this going?"

Song Yinzhang stood on top of the palace wall with a pale face, looking at the two teams of soldiers and horses who were changing defenses at the palace gate. One of them seemed to be urgently transferred from outside the city, and escorted the other team of guards who were originally guarding the gate. Take away for interrogation.

Right now, the most important thing is to find Gu Qianfan first. Zhou Ji sneaked into the palace with Song Yinzhang, and there were guards from the Imperial Army patrolling and searching everywhere. Even though he had never been to the palace before, Zhou Ji quickly found the queen's bedroom based on the stern and murderous aura that had not yet dissipated.

Looking at the square in front of the hall illuminated by the torches, Song Yinzhang noticed the guards bending over to receive their arrows. His eyes gradually moved up, and he looked up at the door of the bedroom. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he froze on the spot.

I saw hundreds of arrows densely packed on the long corridor outside the door of the bedroom, and among these densely packed arrows, there was an open space the size of a human being, which seemed out of place with the surroundings.

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Song Yinzhang's heart. He turned his head to look at Zhou Ji, and subconsciously grasped his cuff. Zhou Ji saw some blood stains on the ground, and led her all the way to the outside of the imperial study room, and finally saw a body in the middle of the body. More than a dozen arrows, corpses that had long lost their breath.

"How did this happen? Why did this happen?"

Looking at the bloody and bloody Gu Qianfan, Song Yinzhang turned his head showing an unbearable look, and Zhou Ji swept across Gu Qianfan's body with his spiritual sense.

Because it was too sudden, Gu Qianfan didn't have time to dodge, nor did he have time to ask why, only some unbelievable doubts remained in the dilated pupils.

Didn't he just trespass into the palace, sneak into the queen's bedroom, put a knife on the queen's neck and threaten her?

Obviously a settlement has been reached, why does the queen want to kill him.

However, what (the screenwriter) never thought of is:

In such a world with a feudal background, no matter which dynasty,

If you want the imperial power to be stable, you must ensure that the imperial power is sacred and detached and cannot be offended.

Once the sacred cloak of imperial power is pierced, it will bring immeasurable psychological impact to the court. Once the court loses respect for imperial power, it will be the most fatal blow to the royal family.

If Gu Qianfan broke into the palace today and threatened the queen with a knife so that he could retreat, it would be an example for those who came later.

If there are similar incidents, Zhang Qianfan, Li Qianfan, and Sun Qianfan may imitate his behavior and shake the foundation of the royal family.

For example, in the late period of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Zhao ordered Cheng Ji to kill Cao Mao in the street, which caused a legacy of dozens or hundreds of years.

In particular, Gu Qianfan is also the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, the head of the secret service in charge of intelligence. Today he can quietly sneak into the Queen's bedroom with a knife. Will he be able to hold the emperor in the same way tomorrow?

Huangcheng Secretary is a vicious dog used by the officials to control the court. The chain of this dog must be firmly controlled in the hands of the royal family. Once it turns against its owner, no matter what the reason, it must not be kept!

After Zhou Ji listened to the queen's detailed account to the officials through his spiritual sense, his eyes fell on the long dagger that an eunuch found from Gu Qianfan's body. Pretending to be too much?"

At this point, even Zhou Ji, who had a thousand years of cultivation, could not revive the hedgehog corpse. He patted Song Yinzhang's shoulder lightly, and sighed, "Go back."

"Go back." Song Yinzhang showed embarrassment, and said in confusion: "Go back and sister Pan'er asked, how should I speak?"

Said that Gu Qianfan broke into the harem at night to assassinate the queen, and was shot as a hedgehog?

The Guyuan changed the hip stick to the spine stick, which cost Zhao Pan'er half his life. If Song Yinzhang heard the news, he didn't dare to think about how she would react then.

"Hey, even if you don't say it, such a big event will detonate the entire court, and there is no way to hide it." Zhou Ji sighed softly, took her out of the palace, and returned to the city.

"Where do you plan to go next? Jiaofang? Or Gufu?"

Zhou Ji took Song Yinzhang's wrist and walked on the deserted street. The sky was pale. The turmoil in the palace did not affect these street vendors who were running for their livelihood. Ready to open.

Turning his head to look at Song Yinzhang's side face, Zhou Ji realized that he was still holding her wrist all the way, looked around quickly, let go of his palm and said.

"I want to go and see San Niang. She still has to work in the back kitchen of the restaurant during the day, and yesterday she stayed at Sister Pan'er's place all night. I don't know if her body can handle it."

Song Yinzhang and Gu Qianfan weren't too familiar, but such a living person died in front of him, Song Yinzhang's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"I send you."

Zhou Ji saw that she was depressed, so he changed the topic, stretched out two fingers and made a tumbling movement in front of Song Yinzhang, pretending to be relaxed: "By the way, why don't you ask me why I can take you flying around?" go~?"

"I heard from Sanniang that she threw herself into the river and committed suicide. That's how you flew to the river to save her." Song Yinzhang said softly, "The play that Young Master and Miss Si Teng gave me is a bit of an excerpt from a knight-errant, so it must be that Young Master is in the play." Those rangers you were talking about?"

"Your reaction is too flat, isn't it?" Zhou Ji shrugged helplessly. Suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes behind him, and he stretched out his hand to grab Song Yinzhang and retreated to the side of the road. A guard galloped past and split into two at the intersection in front Teams, one team is facing the direction of Gu's mansion, and the other is towards Xiao's mansion.

Conspiracy is an unforgivable sin of continuous sitting. Thinking of the father-son relationship between Xiao Qinyan and Gu Qianfan, Zhou Ji felt a little stunned.

No way? No way?

Qingliu's Ke Zheng, Qi Mu and the treacherous minister Xiao Qinyan have been fighting for half their lives, now Ke Xiang is relegated to the outside world, Qi Mu sees his resignation, Xiao Qinyan sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, it can be said that he has won a complete victory, but in the end he is accused of Gu Qianfan. Are you going to step down in a blink of an eye?

"Not good! Sister Pan'er!"

Song Yinzhang was different from what Zhou Ji thought, when he saw a group of imperial guards heading towards Gu's mansion, his heart suddenly tightened and his face turned pale with shock.
