Chapter 242 Agree
The incident in Annan is a disaster for many people.
For example, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Jiang Liang, Marquis of Yuanping; the Zhang family who has something to do with the commander-in-chief; and other military officers who recommended the commander-in-chief at the beginning.
None of them escaped the emperor's scolding.
For others, it is an opportunity, such as Gu Yantao.
Gu Yantao's power has been unable to penetrate into the military headquarters. Without the support of troops, no matter how prominent it is in the court, it looks thin.
Accompanying the king is like a tiger. If the emperor crossed the river and demolished the bridge one day, Gu Yantao would not even have room to resist.
But he was a scholar, and those military officers ignored him at all and couldn't buy people's hearts.
And this time, it's a good opportunity.
But he doesn't have the ability to perform.
Although he knew that the King of Luyang had 60,000 guards, he did not dare to take advantage of it. On the one hand, Gu Jinzhi and the king of Luyang had not yet married, and the relationship between the Gu family and the king of Luyang was not very reliable; on the other hand, the empress dowager paid too much attention to the king of Luyang, and one accidentally offended the empress dowager.
Once you don't make good use of it, you will lose a lot of money. Even Gu Jinzhi's marriage will be involved, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The emperor is a filial son, and the Empress Dowager must not offend.
Now, Gu Jinzhi actually took the initiative to talk about this matter, which made Gu Yantao overjoyed.
He always felt that because Sanfang was close to the old man, he always maintained an attitude of watching the fire across the shore to Gu Yantao and the Gu family, and never wanted to be in the emergency.
This time, the old man was actually very kind.
Gu Yantao remembered that the old lady said last time that the old man arranged a good play and asked Xiang Liang for a life-saving charm for him.
Is the old man dying and his heart is good?
In the last incident, Gu Yantao also suspected that the old man had other intentions.
But in addition to what Gu Jinzhi said today, Gu Yantao believed it.
"After all, we can't talk to the emperor about the guard of the royal palace..." Gu Yantao said to Gu Jin with a smile, "It's better for the prince to say it by himself."
Gu Jinzhi thought for a moment and said, "But what does the prince know? He said, and the emperor also knew that it was our family. It's better for my uncle to say it."
Gu Yantao said, "After all, don't break this layer of window paper. The emperor may not want to see this situation, but he is afraid that the Empress Dowager is reluctant to give up. Let the prince say that at least the empress dowager knew that the prince was willing, and the emperor would not be embarrassed in front of the empress dowager. I'll beat the side drum again..."
Gu Jinzhi said oh, he was busy.
Gu Yantao then asked her to sit down and teach her how to act bit by bit.
How to let the king of Luyang enter the palace, tell this meaning to the emperor, and vaguely take the Gu family out, but not to involve all the Gu family.
Gu Yantao's calculation is that with meritorious service in the future, the emperor will not forget that the Gu family will make advice in the middle; in case of inadvertently causing trouble, it is not the Gu family's swearing, or the king of Luyang is in the middle.
He was in a very good mood when he saw Gu Jin's approval.
He repeatedly told Gu Jinzhi to leave.
Coming out of the old house and sitting in the carriage, Zhu Zhongjun asked Gu Jinzhi, "What did your uncle say?"
"It's just as we expected." Gu Jin said, "He knew that there was sweetness here, so he didn't think about it and agreed. We just need to act according to the plan..."
Zhu Zhongjun smiled.
"Don't worry, I can't forget you take care of your family. In the future, as long as I still have a little power, I won't let your family suffer losses. Zhu Zhongjun said.
Gu Jinzhi couldn't help laughing: "Do you promise benefits so soon?"
Zhu Zhongjun's expression restrained and stared at her.
He was just forgetful and confessed to her. When she came to her, it became a promise, which made Zhu Zhongjun very unhappy.
It seems that there is no emotional mixture, just interests...
"Let's wait until it's done." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile.
Zhu Zhongjun didn't say anything more.
His tender words can be misunderstood by Gu Jinzhi. It's strange and boring, and he doesn't bother to talk about it anymore.
The two of them were silent all the way home.
The next day, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were going to the palace again.
Song Pan'er is suspicious this time.
She asked Gu Jinzhi seriously, "Is the Empress Dowager not in good health?" Or is it our mother?"
Looking at her appearance, she refused to let Gu Jinzhi go without asking the result.
Gu Jinzhi had to push the matter to Concubine De and said, "... When she left yesterday, the Empress said that her body was not very cool. I took her pulse and didn't see anything, but she was worried and asked me to go and see it again today.
Song Pan'er saw that she answered so simply, and she was obviously hiding it just now, and she didn't believe it.
Since this is the case, why didn't you say it just now?
But no fbreak can be found.
Looking at his daughter's watery eyes and looking at herself, Song Pan'er's heart softened. He didn't say anything more and let Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun go out.
The Empress Dowager was also surprised when she received the report from the palace people.
She thought something had happened to Zhu Zhongjun, so she was immediately worried.
Unthinkable, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun handed the sign to see the empress dowager, but went to the Qianqing Palace first.
The Empress Dowager suddenly felt uneasy and wondered if the emperor asked them to come. What's going on?
She quickly called Chang Shun, the eunuch of Kunning Palace, to go to Qianqing Palace to inquire about the situation: "... If the emperor says anything about the prince, you can pass on the words of mourning and let the prince come to Kunning Palace."
She was afraid that the emperor stopped Zhu Zhongjun halfway.
Chang Shun was busy, so he turned around and went to the Qianqing Palace.
In the hall of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor is discussing the use of troops in Annan with the cabinet.
Hearing Zhu Zhongjun's coming, the emperor thought of his own guess yesterday and the hint of Gu Yantao just now, and knew that it was Gu Yantao who secretly tampered with Zhu Zhongjun.
The emperor remained calm, arranged the five cabinet elders in the cabinet, and met Zhu Zhongjun in the side hall.
"Brother, I... I heard that the state is in great trouble... Luzhou has always been rich... I... I want to send the guard as reinforcements to Annan, to settle the country as soon as possible, and relieve the worries of the royal brother. Zhu Zhongjun stammered word for word.
He spoke very slowly, like an endorsement.
And the words between the lines are not the expression he is used to.
The emperor knows it well.
"... Xiaoqi and Gu Gelao both said that this is very good, so I dare to talk to the royal brother." Zhu Zhongjun said again and point out the Gu family.
Gu Jinzhi said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about this. It's the meaning of the prince. I asked my uncle. Our uncle said that the prince was kind-hearted, so we dared to say it.
Gu Jinzhi picked himself out first.
The emperor has been listening in silence, and now he laughed twice.
He said to Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jin, "What are you doing on your knees? Get up..."
Then he asked someone to bring a chair for them to sit on.
"Zhong Jun, why did you suddenly think of adding the guard of the royal palace as reinforcements?" The emperor asked Zhu Zhongjun with a smile about the haze of the past few days.
Zhu Zhongjun hurriedly said, "It was Xiao Qi who taught me!"
He picked himself out again at once...
The emperor laughed.
It can be seen that they didn't have a good answer to this question.
And Gu Jinzhi quickly knelt down and stumbled to explain that she was also hearsay.
No need to guess, it must be Gu Yantao's idea, the emperor thought.
"It's accurate!" The emperor said happily, "Zhong Jun is for the country and the people, and I remember it in my heart. When the affairs of Annan will calm down, I will reward Zhong Jun again..."
As soon as Zhu Zhongjun heard the reward, he was immediately overjoyed and looked at the emperor.
He thought that the emperor was going to reward him now, which made the emperor laugh and cry.
"The second princess is fun, and I also want to have children." Zhu Zhongjun immediately said, "But my mother said that I can't take it out to play. Only the children of Xiaoqi can I take them back to play. Brother, you ask Xiaoqi to give birth to a child for me..."
He took the opportunity to mention his marriage again.
Gu Jinzhi has to say that Zhu Zhongjun is indeed a person who can insert stitches.
The emperor did not show an unhappy expression this time.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this matter in a few days. I promised Zhong Jun!"
Zhu Zhongjun quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Thank you, brother!"
The emperor waved his hand and let them go down.
He also has to handle official business.
Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi came out of the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Zhongjun is in a very good mood.
As soon as he came out of the Qianqing Palace, he met Chang Shun, the eunuch of Kunning Palace.
The two followed Chang Shun to Kunning Palace.
The Empress Dowager will naturally ask them what they are doing.
Zhu Zhongjun said what he said to the emperor to the empress dowager again.
The traces of his recitation were obvious. At first glance, it was taught by others. The Empress Dowager immediately turned her eyes to Gu Jinzhi, and her eyes were a little sharp.
Gu Jin was embarrassed and bowed his head and said no words.
The Empress Dowager thought of Gu Jin's simplicity in the past, and Gu Yantao was an extremely powerful person, so she put the responsibility on Gu Yantao.
How can Gu Yantao let go of such a good opportunity now?
I'm afraid that the 60,000 guards in Luzhou will never belong to the royal palace again!
The Empress Dowager had a twitching pain in her heart.
However, after a short period of anger and reluctance, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt that it would be good...
The Empress Dowager thought cruelly that if the emperor did not change his character, he would still read some family affection now. As long as Zhong Jun has no harm and no army, the emperor is very assured of him, and Zhong Jun is also safe.
Zhong Jun is so stupid. There are so many guards in the royal palace, which is always a scourge. Even with Ning Xi's help, the Empress Dowager was worried.
Ning Xi is not the own birth of the Empress Dowager.
The power will change life. Ning Xi can't guarantee that he has always been loyal and does not bully Zhong Jun...
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager's sharp eyes slowly became soft.
As long as Zhong Jun is safe, it is more important than anything else.
So, she restrained her sharpness and said to Zhu Zhongjun with a smile, "Good boy. You and the emperor are brothers, so you should help each other at this time. You did a good job, and the mother is very happy.
After receiving praise, Zhu Zhongjun smiled and drilled into the empress dowager's arms.
Gu Jinzhi was also secretly relieved.
This matter went more smoothly than they planned.
Many of the expected problems have not appeared, and the green light has been all the way to now...
Next, it is the question of who will be the coach of Ning Xi and Sun Ke.
This matter needs Sun Ke to come out...
Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun came out of the palace. Zhu Zhongjun called Sun Ke to him again and repeatedly told him how to act so that Ning Xi himself could give him the position of reinforcement commander.
Sun Ke listened carefully.

The second update. It's the last day. If you don't work at this moment, when will you wait? RS
