Fang Liang's face turned pale, and he asked in surprise, "Huh, so dangerous?"

Qin Yongnian said: "Hmm...... Qiao Guofu has analyzed it for you, if this regulation is proposed by your Shangshu Master, there is no risk, and you can still sit on the credit, but you ...... That's a big difference......"

"What did Elder Qin say?" he asked hurriedly.

"Now is an important juncture of political reform, our doctor Gu has worked hard in the treasury, he is trying to collect money for the country, you are here to send him silver? Do you think he can pass? Can the people of the household department spare you?"

"But...... The official reform is also a part of the political reform, this regulation is beneficial to the imperial court, even if it can't be passed, it won't be a big crime, right?" Fang Liang hesitated, "Besides, to be honest with you, this regulation was actually proposed by Gu Shangshu, and I just planned to fold it......"

When Qin Yongnian heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha, sure enough, Qiao Guofu really didn't guess wrong, this regulation is really the masterpiece of the Gu family...... Then everything makes sense. ”

Fang Liang became serious and bowed again, "Please ask Old Qin to rescue the late life." ”

Qin Yongnian said: "Actually, this is not the old man's speculation, but Qiao Guofu thought of it, he said, if this is proposed by Gu Shangshu, and he himself intends to fold it, he will not only mention this regulation, but also propose his method of collecting the money he needs, that is to say, he thought of how to solve the problem before creating the problem, and when the time comes, it will be a great contribution to the political reform and the official reform, and it just so happens that the household department is withdrawn, and he can take advantage of this merit to win the household department in one fell swoop!"

Fang Liang was enlightened when he heard this, "Then he asked me to draw up such an excerpt......

Qin Yongnian helped him point out: "It's because I see that you are greedy for merit, so I will frame you." When the time comes, you are impeached by the Ministry of Households, disgraced and dismissed, and he puts forward his idea again, what should you do? You're testing the waters for him......"

Fang Liang trembled with anger, and couldn't help but pat the wine case: "Gu Qinghuan! How can he be like this? God, this fold can't be presented, if it is seen by His Majesty, it will be known by the hundred officials......

Qin Yongnian lowered his head and poured wine, still calm, and said with a smile: "I won't be known by the hundred officials......"

Fang Liang was overjoyed and asked, "Can Elder Qin suppress this fold?"

He shook his head again: "This excerpt has been approved by Zuo Sicheng, once he passes over there, if there is no special reason, the political affairs hall cannot be pressed, and if it is to be withdrawn, it must be approved by Du Wanwei, and Du Wanwei, he sees that this excerpt was approved by Gu Shangshu, then he will not agree to withdraw it, unless Gu Shangshu agrees to ......"

Fang Liang became anxious again, "What should I do?

After Qin Yongnian put down the wine jug, he picked up the teapot in the corner of the case, and was about to pour tea into his tea bowl, looked at Fang Liang and said: "No, there is no special reason, the political hall can't press down the fold, but the government hall can't present the fold with the broken content and damaged text to Your Majesty......"

"Ah, mutilated and damaged?" Fang Liang was puzzled.

I saw that Qin Yongnian's hand pouring tea was shaking more and more, the tea poured down from the teapot, spilling all over the wine table, and the spread out strip was also wet with tea, the paper was wet, and the words on it were dizzy, and the content was completely indistinguishable.

The private room was quiet for a while, only the sound of tea dripping, and Fang Liang gradually showed a knowing smile.

"An excerpt, from the ministry to the political affairs hall, I don't know how many hands to turn, and I don't know which old and deaf official accidentally poured tea on the fold and ruined it...... Really, these officials are so careless. Qin Yongnian slowly put down the teapot, closed the wet fold, and shook the water aside.

Fang Liang got up and poured him wine, and echoed: "Eh, it's not careful, but who can be innocent? Scrap back to the ministry, and when the time comes, it will be ......"

Qin Yongnian asked him: "What if he still wants you to plan it then?"

Fang Liang was happy for a while, but now he was asked by the difficult question again, and thought about it for a while: "I'm pretending to be sick?"

Qin Yongnian shook his head: "Have you ever thought about not staying in the Ministry of Officials?"

"What?" Fang Liang was shocked.

He said: "Don't worry, I didn't let you resign because of this." That is, your Lord Shangshu intends to suppress you, and you can only suffer if you stay in the Ministry of Officials, so it is better to move the nest, isn't the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites just empty? There is no one from the Gu family in the Ministry of Rites, so Yu Hongzhi is a good fool, how about you go there?"

……

Jiang Hechuan has been hiding from Yang Longxing for the past few days, he has already taken care of his business and is ready to leave his parents for a while, but Jiang Xiange's condition is really not good, he can't rest assured of her, and he can't take her away, for fear that she will have an accident on the road. In fact, for Jiang Hechuan at this time, his own safety is really nothing, he is just worried about Jiang Xiange, and his heart aches that his daughter suffered this catastrophe, and he really regrets that he married the Yang family in the first place.

"You have to hurry up, or you won't be able to dodge. In the evening, Gu Qingxuan came to Jiangyue Tower and talked to him in the backyard, this was the first time he went to Jiangyue Tower after the last time he came.

Jiang Hechuan faced him, obviously there was a gap in his heart, and it was very unnatural: "I plan to go to Jiangnan next time, I want to wait for Xian Ge to get better, and take her to ...... with me."

"What's the matter?, do you want to go back to your hometown directly?" Gu Qingxuan was also more sensitive.

He smiled bitterly: "Do I still have it? There are still too many things in Chang'an City that I can't put down, to be honest, I don't know what to do......"

Gu Qingxuan said: "There are only two ways in front of you now, one is to really say goodbye to Chang'an with a string song, and the other is to avoid this and come back, and then continue to ......."

"Continue with what?"

"Keep fighting for what you want. ”

Jiang Hechuan was puzzled, he knew that Gu Qingxuan knew him better than himself: "What do I want to fight for?"

Gu Qingxuan stood up with his hands folded, turned behind him, put one hand on his shoulder, bent over and said to him: "Haven't you figured it out yet? Or are you deliberately pretending to be confused with me? You now have a chance to put your son on the throne! You really didn't take such an important and arduous matter to heart?"

"I ......" Jiang Hechuan was speechless, pondered for a while, turned his head to look at Gu Qingxuan, and asked him solemnly: "If I choose this path, will you choose to help me?"

Gu Qingxuan looked at him for a while, as if they were exploring something with each other: "Then you have to think about whether you choose King Jin or us." ”

Jiang Hechuan's heart sank: "Are you saying that if the King of Jin wants to fight for the power of the prince, then you are his biggest threat?"

"No, we're already his biggest threat. ”

Jiang Hechuan was silent, and he was silent for a long time. On one side is Princess Xiao, on the other side is the Gu family, each of which is of great significance to him, now Princess Xiao wants to use him to deal with the Gu family, and the Gu family also threatens that the Jin Palace, it will be tolerated by it, and no matter how he chooses, he will be regarded as an enemy by the other party, how should he choose?

"Maybe I'm talking about things too simply, maybe it's not our turn to think about this issue, the emperor hasn't decided yet......" Gu Qingxuan changed the subject.

"What, isn't he ......," Jiang Hechuan said in a straight voice.

Gu Qingxuan said: "The death of Doctor Hua Shen, you can be sure that the secret is true, plus recently he has paid more attention to the Jin Palace, and let the King of Jin take power, which shows that he has high hopes for the Jin Palace, however, we can't ignore that there is also a Nine Prince, while the emperor reuses the King of Jin, he also recalled the Nine Princes back to Chang'an, which is a little incomprehensible." We have speculations, one is that the emperor wants to make the prince of Jin the crown prince, and the nine princes are recalled in order to restrict him in order to prevent him from making any moves in the fiefdom, and the other is that the crown prince in the emperor's heart is selected as the ninth prince, and he is now reusing the king of Jin to use the king of Jin to restrain us and reduce hidden dangers for the nine princes......"

Jiang Hechuan seemed to have found a breakthrough in the two problems, and first pushed the problem to Gu Qingxuan: "Then do you choose the prince of Jin or the ninth prince?

Gu Qingxuan frowned and shook his head: "It is not beneficial to us to choose whichever side we choose, choose the prince of Jin, and it is impossible for the king of Jin to be allied with us, and choose the ninth prince...... I'm going to lose one of my most important allies......"

It turns out that there are two paths to take, that is, there is no way to go.

None of them have a choice.

"Then I don't choose it at all, I choose both. Gu Qingxuan smiled.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Qingxuan did not answer.

Since knowing the emperor's hidden illness, Sangu has seen a great opportunity - they can put a crown prince on the throne, so as to fully control the court, and the Gu family will create immortal achievements.

But before the crown prince is established, they have to find a way to make themselves invincible.

Then they can't say which side to choose.

There are three of them, and they must choose both.

They are still close to the Jin Wangfu at the moment, and the relationship between Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qingfeng is maintained, and the two sides will not tear their faces, instead of carrying it with the Jin Wangfu, it is better to pretend to surrender to the King of Jin first, so that the King of Jin will relax his vigilance, so that only the princess Xiao who is like a mirror is a disaster......

At the same time, Gu Qingning, who is "father and daughter against each other" with Gu Qingxuan, will use Fusu to win over the Ninth Prince and control him first, waiting for the opportunity.

Gu Qingxuan couldn't directly pick out these with Jiang Hechuan, because Jiang Hechuan was no longer safe, they could see that he was controlled by Princess Xiao, and he could only gradually favor Princess Xiao, if he didn't want to get out, then he could only choose King Jin's Mansion in the end.

Gu Qingxuan sighed: "Brother Hechuan, do you know that you are in danger now?"

Jiang Hechuan was laughed at by his question: "My in-laws are about to rob my family and destroy my family, my old friend is a courtier who conspires to kill countless people, my mistress is the princess of the family, and my son is the son of the family, which day do you say I am not dangerous?"

Gu Qingxuan also smiled and nodded convincingly: "That's right." I'm talking about King Jin's side, even if you choose the Jin Palace, you are still very dangerous, because if King Jin finds out about you, you will die without a place to be buried, or, Princess Xiao in order to hide the secret, you have no use value, she will let you die without a place to bury. ”

Jiang Hechuan froze, his heart was as cold as an ice cave, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Qingxuan took advantage of his stunned moment, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder with his hand, which made him tremble in fright: "So, you still need us, you can only save your life by continuing to ally with the Gu family." ”

Another sharp knife pierced the heart.

She said that for the sake of her son, you must start dealing with the Gu family, and he said that you can only save your life if you continue to ally with the Gu family......

What should he do?

"Think about it, man, it's not that I scare you or threaten you, it's just that you're in the middle of the game, and you lose all the games if you accidentally do it, not to mention that it's still a puzzle right now...... You leave tomorrow and don't let anyone, including us, know where you've gone. Xian Ge can't follow you, let's stay in Chang'an, we will take care of her. ”

"I hope that after Yang Longxing's matter is over, you will return to Chang'an, and you already have an idea in your heart. ”

"Whatever you choose, I will forgive you, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

This was Jiang Hechuan's last conversation with Gu Qingxuan before he left Chang'an.

……

Tang Huan lifted the curtain, Jiang Xiange was sitting on the corner of the couch with her knees crossed like that, no one knew how long she had been sitting like that, every time she saw her, Tang Huan felt distressed.

As soon as she arrived at the bed, Jiang Xiange tightened her body vigilantly, her empty eyes were full of uneasiness, not only Tang Huan, but the Gu family sisters and brothers have been like this in the past few days, even Jiang Hechuan didn't make her feel more at ease, she didn't seem to know everyone anymore, and she couldn't feel everything around her, as if only when He Luoke came, she would be more relaxed and dissatisfied.

Tang Huan approached her cautiously and said softly, "Miss, don't be afraid, I'm Tang Huan." ”

She wrapped her arms around herself and let go of some.

Tang Huan slowly reached out to touch her arm, trying to help her stay, "Miss, Tang Huan will dress you, shall we go out for a walk?"

She didn't dodge Tang Huan's touch, but still shook her head.

Tang Huan was a little worried, and tried to say: "Shall we go to the Gu Mansion?" The master is going out for a while, I am afraid that you will have no one to take care of you at home, and Lord Gu will pick you up and go to the Gu Mansion to live, do you think it is okay?"

"Gu ...... Adult ......"

She actually spoke, Tang Huan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's your Uncle Gu, Gu Qingxuan, Lord Gu......"

She gradually raised her head, her face was dull, her eyes were glazed, her lips opened and closed a few times, and she read those three words, but she was used to hiding those three words in her heart for too long, even if she was talking to herself, she could not make a sound.

Tang Huan affirmed to her: "Well, Master Gu is waiting for you outside, he is here to pick you up...... Shall we hurry up and clean up? Don't make Master Gu wait for a long time. ”

She began to change Jiang Xiange's clothes and comb her hair, but she didn't expect Jiang Xiange to be willing to cooperate, although she didn't move, she didn't reject it anymore. Tang Huan was so happy that he held back his tears and quickly helped Jiang Xiange clean up.

After the simple was done, Tang Huan helped Jiang Xiange sit on the edge of the couch and wait for a while, she went to prepare some clothes and things that Jiang Xiange wanted to bring to Gu's house.

Tang Huan didn't dare to delay, quickly finished cleaning up, tied a package, and then turned his head to look at the couch, only to find that Jiang Xiange was gone.

Tang Huan was almost frightened crazy at that moment, looked at the door, the door was not open, she felt more at ease, took a deep breath, and then looked for Jiang Xiange in the house, "Miss! Miss, where are you?"

Fortunately, Tang Huan quickly found her in the side, she did not run around, but came to her piano case silently, and stood there dumbfounded looking at the empty piano case.

Tang Huan took back what she meant and asked her, "Miss, are you looking for Lu Qi?" Lu Qi ......" Thinking that Jiang Xiange was hugging Lu Qi when he hit the pillar, Tang Huan didn't dare to stimulate her anymore, thought about it, and lied to her: "Lu Qi sent it for repair, and when it is repaired, it can be sent back, don't worry." ”

She seemed to believe Tang Huan's words, and didn't look at it stubbornly anymore, Tang Huan put a cloak on her, put on a cape, and carried her out.

There he is.

At the gate of the Jiang family's backyard, Gu Qingxuan and Jiang Hechuan were waiting there.

She walked over and saw the man, and for the first time in front of him, she wept uncontrollably.

They were all frightened, she just looked at Gu Qingxuan in a daze, he asked her what was wrong, and she made a faint voice: "The piano is gone......"

Gu Qingxuan reacted, knowing that she was talking about Lu Qi, so he took her wrist and soothed: "It's okay, Xiange, it's not your fault, the piano is gone, there will still be one." ”

"But that's all I want......"

Gu Qingxuan helped her out steadily, like coaxing a child, and said softly to her: "Okay, as long as the string song is better, the piano will come back, it will be complete, return to the original state, as long as the string song is good." ”

She stopped crying, and he and her father led her out of the door to the carriage.

Tang Huan helped her into the carriage with the word 'Gu' written on it, and she sat in the carriage, as if she could gradually feel something. Jiang Hechuan took one last look at her, and was about to lower the curtain when he heard her voice: "Father...... Take care ......"

This was the first time she took the initiative to talk to him since she returned home from Yang's Mansion.

Jiang Hechuan burst into tears when he heard the sound, unable to speak, he could only nod with tears, reluctantly lowered the curtain, and watched the carriage drive away, and he disappeared in the half-bright place of the night.

……

Jiang Xiange lived in the Gu Mansion, but her situation was not much better, she was still obsessed and didn't know anything about the world.
