On the second day of Gu Qingning's visit to the Ministry of Industry, everyone's attitude towards her has improved, although there has not changed much, but it is rare that no one wants to embarrass her anymore, even Li Xiangtong, the supervisor of the Dongtang Division, did not complain about anything anymore, but just regarded her as nothing.

Even if she can't get them to fully accept herself and participate in the formal discussion of the fortifications, she is already very satisfied with the status quo, so she intends to keep this low profile for the first time, and not attract attention at first, so that she can gain a long-term foothold here.

This day passed, but she found that she still took herself too seriously, and now the project of Guanghe Palace is full of various conditions, it can be said that the fortification room is full of everything, and she is afraid that others will not be able to look at herself, in fact, others will not take care of her at all. She couldn't tell if it was good or bad.

Lu Yuanze returned to the Ministry of Industry to work normally, he only avoided it for a day and a night, and I don't know how he removed the marks on his neck, anyway, after arriving at the department, everything was as usual. He was not at ease, he glanced a few times outside the fortification room from a distance, and asked Liang Zhengqing sideways, knowing Gu Qingning's situation in the past two days, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Gu Qingning must have his own way, so he didn't say anything else, and didn't see her again, suggesting that Liang Zhengqing arranged for someone to keep an eye on her, he was indeed very afraid that Gu Qingning didn't really want to help him solve the trouble, and he wanted to guard against her.

After several days of odd work in a row, and every day was the last time she left the fortification, today is no exception, passing by Li Xiangtong's public house when she left, she went in and asked when she could get her counselor's uniform, but Li Xiangtong sneered coldly, saying that the uniform has always only been a man's style, is it difficult to wear a skirt for her alone?

Gu Qingning was really angry, and returned home depressed, as soon as he saw Gu Qinghuan walking around the front yard alone, he wanted to complain to him and vent his grievances. But before she could speak, Gu Qinghuan stopped her angry words with a word: "Today, Lu Yuanzhi came to the door in person. ”

Gu Qingning was taken aback and asked, "Why did he come?"

Gu Qinghuan stomped his foot angrily: "Because of Yin Jiheng! Not only is he unwilling to deal with the Lu family with us, but he also favors the Lu family, and he does not hesitate to betray his father, telling Lu Yuanzhi that his father complains about the Lu family in front of him, which is really hateful!

"What about the father, how did the father deal with him?" she asked urgently.

Gu Qinghuan replied: "When he came today, I was not at home, and I didn't see the situation at that time, I just heard my father say that Lu Yuanzhi came to give our Gu family a horse, and he asked his father about his crime, and my father knew that no matter how much he pretended to be weak, he bluntly expressed his resentment to Lu Yuanzhi, which Lu Yuanzhi could think of, and he couldn't hide it." I heard Uncle Tang say that his father had quarreled with Lu Yuanzhi for a long time, and now he completely tore his face......"

"Oh no, then didn't our previous cover-up all our efforts be wasted? The Lu family knows our revenge and will never let us go again! Lu Yuanzhi began to stare at our Gu family, afraid that there will be a big disaster......" She frowned and thought deeply, and began to panic.

Gu Qinghuan said: "Father said the same thing......

"Father said that?" Gu Qingning said in surprise, "Is there really no way?"

"Father said that he would find a way, and he was staying alone in the study at this time, so I couldn't disturb him......" He glanced back in the direction of the study, and a strong fear surged into his heart after realizing it, Gu Qinghuan suddenly couldn't support it, and almost collapsed on the ground: "It's over...... It's really over, I should have known that the matter had come to this, what else could I think of? The Gu family is not saved......

Gu Qingning's heart was also cold, and she trembled, her eyes widened, she looked around her own courtyard, and was silent for a while, after that, she stopped looking. Gu Qinghuan could clearly see that there were tears of hatred in her wide eyes, she shook her head, directly grabbed his arm, dragged him up, and said in her mouth: "No! Absolutely not! This is impossible! Our Gu family will not end like this! I will never allow it!"

She dragged Gu Qinghuan to the study, directly pushed open the closed study door, and spoke before entering: "Father! We still have a way! We have a way to save ourselves! What should Lu Yuanzhi do if he can't take us for a while! I mean even if he wants the Gu family to die, don't we all live well at the moment! I think about it, at this time, he has no time to do anything, we can try to distract his attention first! Let him ignore us for the time being! He must have something more urgent and more concerned about!"

Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan rushed in, she said incoherently, looking for Gu Qingxuan's figure in the room, thinking that Gu Qingxuan was anxiously worried at the desk at this time, but what she saw was that he was standing in front of the wall of the study with his back hand, looking at a newly hung drawing on the wall, not calm, but not sad, as if thinking about something.

When the sister and brother saw him like this, their hearts instantly calmed down a lot, the sense of panic faded, they quieted down, walked to him, and looked at the drawings on the wall with him. In fact, it is not a drawing or drawing, just a large piece of paper with dense words written, the main part of the content on the paper can be divided into three lines, from left to right, the lower part of the paper is written in large characters "Ministry of Industry, Yushitai, Ministry of Rites", these three are Gu Qingning, himself and Gu Qinghuan's enterprising goals.

Taking Gu Qingning as an example, she has entered the Ministry of Engineering, and now she is the smallest counselor, located at the bottom, and in order there are the superintendents, deacons, chief deacons, and chief workers...... All the way to the Ministry of Industry, there is another Zuo Sicheng and other two parts of military punishment written above the Ministry of Industry. The content of this line is lined up one by one from the bottom, not only writing the official position of each level, but also marking the people who are currently holding this position, and those dense names are all obstacles to her progress.

For the same example, the same is true for the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Ministry of Rites.

These three are their goals, there are hundreds of names on the map, who can be friends, who has become enemies, all marked, not so much that they are looking at the picture, but that they are looking directly at their own ambitions.

Gu Qingxuan turned his head to face his children and looked at them, he opened his mouth and only asked, "Are you willing?"

They all said, "Unwilling!"

He nodded, "That's fine." ”

"The world is impermanent, people's hearts are unpredictable, father, we can't count on anyone, at this time, we should find a way to deal with the Lu family as soon as possible, otherwise this plan will be in vain. Gu Qingning said.

Gu Qinghuan knew that he had caused trouble because of the leak, Gu Qingxuan blamed himself for his careless miscalculation, so he also said with relief: "Father, since we planned this, the future is expected to be dangerous, and today's situation is like this, we can't let the previous efforts go to waste, I was also flustered just now, as my sister thought, we are not helpless." Moreover, now, father, you are no longer fighting alone in the officialdom as in previous years, and we can already contribute, this road is for the three of us to walk together, and when we encounter hardships and dangers, we must also find a way together, and we will never let you bear it alone, father!"

Gu Qingxuan was very pleased, "No longer fighting alone, good, good! Then we will face this storm together, we will take care of our family, and we will never compromise!"

"Qingning, I heard what you said just now, you are right, we should indeed find a way to divert Lu Yuanzhi's attention, maybe we can keep peace for a while. ”

At three o'clock in the night, a fire broke out in the easternmost part of the palace, where the Guanghe Palace, the temple of the Heavenly Treasure Palace, was being built. The people in the palace put out the fire all night, and the emperor was furious, so he sent someone to investigate the cause of the fire that night, and sent Lu Yuanze, the squire of the Ministry of Works, who presided over the fortification, into the palace overnight, scolded him, and was furious, if it were not for Lu Yuanzhi's intercession with King Jinxuan, Lu Yuanze's official position would have been removed on the spot.

After apologizing in front of the emperor, Lu Yuanze did not return to the house, but rushed to the scene of the fire, put out the fire with everyone, and tried his best to minimize the loss, but even if he was exhausted, he could only watch the palace beams and high platforms being engulfed in flames, and he was powerless to return to the sky......

The main body of Guanghe Palace, which was built for most of the time, was destroyed by fire, and the fortifications that lasted more than half a year fell short.
