The emperor and queen were not sleepy, and the topic quickly turned to Shen Jinyan.

With Ji with him, Shen Jinyan's words and deeds can't be hidden from the emperor.

"Ah Yan has really grown up. Gu Wanning's voice was full of relief: "In the past, when such a thing happened, he would only panic and hide behind me crying." Now, he can finally stand alone, and he can also muster up the courage to face the wind and rain. ”

Xiao Xu smiled silently: "Yes! Ah Yan has grown up, you don't have to worry about him all the time." ”

After a pause, he said: "Tomorrow is the opening day of the Shantang, and I have already ordered Luo Ting to secretly dispatch dozens of criminal departments to arrest around the Shantang to prevent anyone from making trouble." ”

A trace of warmth quietly swelled up in Gu Wanning's heart.

Xiao Xu is always so thoughtful and considerate.

Xiao Xu Huo Ran came over, and his face was full of smiles: "Are you so moved that you want to make a promise?"

Gu Wanning gently smacked him, but his eyes were like peach blossoms.

……

The next day, Fu Ge Lao finally went to court.

As soon as Fu Ge appeared, a group of officials had to come forward to greet him.

Gu Hai, who angrily reprimanded Wang Yushi the day before, also looked innocent at this time, and said with a sincere smile: "The elder has not been to the court for many days, and we are very worried about it. I wanted to visit, but I was afraid of disturbing the purity of the pavilion. Please forgive me!"

Fu Ge Lao replied with a sense of shame: "As the first assistant, the old man should put state affairs first. Some time ago, I asked for a retirement for my own selfishness, which was really ashamed of the emperor and my colleagues in the hundreds of officials. After thinking about it, he invited himself to the court with a cheeky face today, which made Gu Shilang smile. ”

Gu Hai said with a straight face: "The elder of the pavilion is loyal to the country, does his best for the people, is not afraid of rumors, and does not care about the reputation of the official, such a mind is really admirable!"

With Fu Ge's old city mansion, after listening to these sarcastic words, he also felt that his face was hot.

This Gu Hai is obviously a military general who is the son of a nobleman, but his mouth is even sharper and more vicious than that of the imperial historians!

Where is this compliment, it is clearly a satire that he, the elder of the pavilion, only cares about fighting for power and profit, and has no face!

It's inevitable to think about it. He took action against Queen Gu, and instructed Wang Yushi and others to re-mention the ugliness of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, how could Gu Hai not hold a grudge?

Fu Ge Lao changed color slightly, and quickly returned to normal: "Gu Shilang praised it so much, the old man deserved it. ”

Gu Hai sneered in his heart, and the expression on his face became more and more sincere: "The elder pavilion has a noble temperament, and he is by no means a sinister villain with a set of backs on his face. ”

Fu Ge Lao and Gu Hai are arguing with each other back and forth.

The rest of the officials couldn't interject for a while, so they simply watched the excitement from the sidelines.

After a while, the Son of Heaven came to the court, and the court meeting officially began.

Fu Ge Lao pleaded guilty with a guilty face.

The emperor comforted Fu Ge with warm and pleasant words, as if there was no mustard between the two, and they still got along with each other.

……

Fu Ge Lao returned to the court, and for the courtiers, it was like a needle in the sea, and the originally turbulent hearts of the people quickly settled down.

However, Fu Ge Lao himself has a hard time.

The Son of Heaven has never been a dictatorship, and most of the court affairs are resolved by several cabinet elders.

From this day on, however, the situation is different. The Son of Heaven suddenly became arbitrary, and he had to ask everything one by one. As the first assistant, Fu Ge Lao had to report and ask for instructions one by one, and it was decided by the Son of Heaven.

Fu Ge Lao's suggestion was rejected by the Son of Heaven nine times out of ten. There are some important things, and the Son of Heaven began to hand them over to the second assistant Wang Ge Lao.

In this regard, Wang Ge was secretly happy. No one is willing to live under others all the time. Wang Ge Lao has been suppressed by Fu Ge Lao for many years, if today's son intends to promote him to fight against Fu Ge Lao, he is not a fool, so he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

The cabinet was divided into two factions by five elders. Fu Ge Lao co-opted the two Ge Laos, Wang Ge Lao had the support of the Son of Heaven, and his voice became louder and louder.

The situation in the court is also gradually revealed.

Fu Ge's protégé has not yet wavered, and the officials who were originally inclined to Fu Ge Lao have been co-opted by Wang Ge Lao a lot. Among them, there were many important ministers of the imperial court.

The officials who mingle with the court are all human spirits. Behind Wang Ge Lao stood the Son of Heaven, and throwing himself to Wang Ge Lao meant throwing himself to the emperor......

Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was the first important minister to "change course".

On this day's discussion, Wang Ge Lao and Fu Ge Lao sang opposite tunes as usual. The Son of Heaven sat peacefully on the dragon chair and watched the two elders arguing quietly.

When Li Shangshu jumped out to echo Wang Ge Lao, Fu Ge Lao's temples jumped and jumped, and he used all his self-control to press down the flame in his heart.

In the end, it ended with the victory of Wang Gelao.

After the deliberations were over, the ministers went out of the Funing Hall together.

Fu Ge Lao slowed down unhurriedly, and when Li Shangshu came over, he said with a smile: "In the past, Li Shangshu was silent and didn't like to speak. I didn't expect that once I opened my mouth, my words would be so sharp. Disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Li Shangshu, who was over forty years old and handsome and elegant, responded with a humble face: "The elder of the pavilion is so praised, the lower officials dare not be ashamed!"

The Son of Heaven arranged the position of Honglu Siqing for the concubine Li Yiming, and Li Shangshu was naturally grateful to Heaven and reciprocated with peach.

Fu Ge Lao tugged at the corners of his mouth, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he brushed his sleeves away.

Li Shangshu also secretly sneered.

In the name of a first assistant, he thinks that his eyes are higher than the top, and he doesn't even put the Son of Heaven in his eyes. Fu Ge Lao acted like this, and I was afraid that this position of first assistant would not last long.

……

The open and secret battles in the court were surging, and they did not affect the harem.

The only one affected is probably Fu Yu.

I don't know which palace man with a long tongue raps in front of Fu Yu, Fu Yu is already thinking about it, and he has not yet come out of Cui Junying's death, and then he heard that his grandfather and the Son of Heaven are fighting hard, and he is suddenly exhausted, his condition is aggravated, and he can't even get off the bed.

The palace maid who served Fu Yu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to the Jiaofang Hall to report, kneeling and pleading: "...... Concubine Fu was seriously ill and couldn't afford to do so, and she didn't get a drop of water on this day. Niangniang is already weak, and if she continues like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on. The slave begged Niangniang to let Doctor Xu see Niangniang and save Niangniang's life. ”

The palace maid cried with tears in her eyes, and kowtowed vigorously, and in less than a moment, her forehead was red and swollen.

Gu Wanning, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, was not moved, and said lightly: "Doctor Zhu in the Tai Hospital has superb medical skills, if even he can't cure Concubine Fu's illness, it will be useless for Xu Cang to go." ”

Fu Yu was born with a heart disease!

The palace maid obviously knew this, and she still held on to the last glimmer of hope: "However, Doctor Xu is famous, and his medical skills are always superior. Maybe as soon as he makes a move, he can cure Niangniang's illness......"

"Presumptuous!" Gu Wanning's side Linlang looked cold, and opened his mouth to scold: "According to what you say, could it be that Concubine Fu's illness is not cured, so you have to blame the queen mother?"
