Chapter 175: Very Reluctant

The emperor's decision was a bit sudden, which caught Gu Zizhong off guard, and he didn't know why. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gu Zizhong's eyes looked flustered.

is really a master of officialdom, so she is still quiet on the surface.

But in the eyes of the emperor, even the slightest flaw can be discovered.

That was Gu Zizhong's eyes.

Gu Zizhong's apparent calmness can deceive others, but he can't deceive the emperor.

But the emperor was very surprised, does this woman have such a strong calmness?

It stands to reason that she should be impatient.

If you are willing to marry Li Huicheng, then you are happy. If you are reluctant, then you are panicking.

So it shouldn't be calm anyway.

The emperor had a certain degree of wariness of Gu Zizhong in his heart, and he also admired her very much.

After all, there are very few people who can have such composure at such a young age.

The Queen Mother thought about it, and she was also very reluctant.

Because of Gu Zizhong, she likes this child very much. Li Huicheng, what kind of person is that person, she doesn't know.

Although you can fight, you can also cause trouble.

And Li Huicheng is a reckless man, only caring about himself, where has he ever thought about others?

There is only a pat on the back against the emperor and her.

So Li Huicheng is really annoying the Queen Mother. If it weren't for the normal court exchanges, the Queen Mother would not want to see someone like Li Huicheng.

Pursing her lips, the Queen Mother's face showed a hundred reluctance: "Your Majesty, when did Li Huicheng meet Lord Gu? Why don't I know?"

The emperor said bluntly: "The last time I set up a banquet, at the gate of Paiyun Palace, General Li took a fancy to Lord Gu at a glance. ”

No way?

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, and the sides of her cheeks looked very pale.

The white is red, and the look is very asymmetrical and unnatural.

The Queen Mother was in a hurry and wrinkled: "Your Majesty, will you promise him?"

The emperor was stunned, as if he didn't understand what his mother meant.

But everyone knows that the emperor is just pretending to be stupid.

What are you pretending to be stupid at this time?

The Queen Mother said bluntly: "The emperor gave me a happy word, do you have any tricks in the hands of others?"

The emperor was stunned again, and looked very aggrieved: "Mother, where do you want to go?

Immediately, the emperor was serious again, and the emperor comforted his mother and said: "It's really people who have made great contributions to the court, and I always want to reward them with something." There are no other requirements, as long as the county lord Gu marries. How can I refuse such a small request?"

"Nope. The Queen Mother frowned, her face was full of wrinkles: "Why can't you refuse? You are the emperor, and he is a courtier." What the courtiers want, it depends on whether the emperor agrees or not. Isn't it okay if you, the emperor, don't you agree?"

What is this called?

The emperor looked very faceless: "I'm old, and I've always spoken in front of the ministers. Now that people have merit, I don't reward them. This will make the ministers talk nonsense. ”

The Queen Mother also knows this truth, and those officials are waiting for the emperor to make mistakes all day long.

Once the emperor does something inappropriate, the speech officials begin to add fuel and vinegar, anyway, the names of the Qing officials are those who speak the officials.

The emperor had to accept it with an open mind.

But......

Is it just that coincidental?

The Queen Mother was still suspicious: "Li Huicheng didn't see it anymore, did he just see Lord Gu?"

The emperor also looked a little dazed, and nodded his head.

Gu Zizhong, who was listening from the sidelines, really didn't know what kind of eyes people had.

Why didn't others target her?

Is that what she looks like is that different?

Gu Zizhong couldn't believe it.

What should I do now?

The emperor didn't mean anything to her, but he killed another General Li halfway.

The Japanese are rampant, and Zhu Shizi also led his men and horses to clean them up.

It stands to reason that Zhu Shizi also has merit.

Why didn't the emperor reward Zhu Shizi?

Gu Zizhong was upset for Zhu Shizi.

Even if Zhu Shizi is honest, he also understands the truth of being rewarded for merit and punished for guilt.

The emperor must be tired here.

Gu Zizhong was reluctant and didn't want to agree.

She's ready, she can delay it as long as she can, but it really doesn't work to see the situation.

The emperor was suddenly stunned, and he didn't even give Gu Zizhong time to think about it.

"I now issue an order to give the Lord of Gu County to General Li, and the two of you will get married in the capital on a certain day. Lord Gu, are you willing?"

The emperor also wants to be a man who knows the master.

You've made an order, so why do you have to ask?

Gu Zizhong wanted to answer the word "no".

But when she saw the face of the emperor going, she swallowed the word back.

She hesitated and didn't speak.

The emperor slapped his thigh and looked very anxious: "You child, if you are willing, you are willing." If you don't want to be unwilling, why be so restrained?"

The Queen Mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she interjected: "Although the children of other families are only county lords, they should also be free. Your Majesty, if you ask like this, anyone will panic if you change it. ”

The emperor frowned, a little impatient.

The emperor knew that his mother had come to make trouble.

Maybe this Gu Zizhong is a girl that her mother likes.

The emperor made a mistake this time, on one side is his mother, and on the other side is a hero.

How does this trade-off?

The emperor had a bad idea.

simply brought Gu Zizhong into the palace directly, so that she would become the emperor's own woman.

No matter how bold Li Huicheng is, he doesn't dare to rob a woman with the emperor, right?

Besides, the emperor is also in Cining Palace, and he is still very close to his mother.

Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

The emperor thought so in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

Now the emperor is waiting for Gu Zizhong to say "unwillingly".

As soon as she opened her mouth to say the word "no", the emperor immediately changed his mind.

But Gu Zizhong just didn't speak, and kept his head down.

The Queen Mother looked at Gu Zizhong, suddenly turned her head, and said, "Your Majesty, you see that you scared other people's children." Give them a few days to think about it. ”

The mother opened her mouth, and the emperor was not easy to refuse.

But this made it difficult for the emperor.

The emperor thought about it, but he still didn't give up: "Lord Gu, you have to think about it." I just need a word from you. Whether you want to or not, you just have to say it. No matter what you say, I don't blame you. ”

Gu Zizhong just wanted not to speak, so as not to say something wrong or speak falsely.

But the emperor just forced her to speak.

This emperor is also a heart.

Gu Zizhong just thought that the more he didn't speak, the more he could persist until later, and the more initiative he had.

The emperor is forcing her to hand over the initiative.
