Retreating from others, only King Zhong and Gu Cheng were left in the house.

The young prince's face was gloomy, and he looked at Gu Cheng straightening up, his eyes were clear, and he did not shy away from looking at himself. I was a little dissatisfied in my heart, and I wanted to reprimand him for boldly transgressing, but the corners of the other party's lips were gently bent at this time.

Some are like the sunlight spilling down through the window lattice, warm and warm, pointing directly to people's hearts. He was silent, and his intuition told him that Gu Cheng seemed to be a person he could trust.

"The current situation of the prince may be worthy of envy in the eyes of outsiders. But the prince has a mirror in his heart, so he will be like sitting on pins and needles when he hears the three words of Chang Zhangji. The prince thinks that I should want to flatter Chang Quanyi with the Qingming Shanghe map, right? ”

Isn't it? King Zhong couldn't figure out who he was, and muttered, "Could it be that you have other plans?" ”

"Yes, I did aim to please them." Gu Cheng smiled, seeing a hint of disappointment flash in King Zhong's eyes, he continued, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to win his trust. Because he is nine thousand years old above ten thousand people under one person, even the prince must salute him for three points when he sees him. ”

A faint haze appeared between the young prince's eyebrows, but he was speechless to refute, so he had to snort heavily.

"But the eunuch dictatorship and chaos violate the ancestral teachings. The prince does not agree with this so-called nine thousand years old, and Gu Cheng also has relatives. However, neither the prince nor Gu Cheng was powerless to shake the fait accompli. Gu Chengdou is brave, may I ask the prince a question, Chang Quanyi turned the clouds and rain in the court, and responded to every call, what did he rely on? ”

This question is clear at a glance, of course, relying on the emperor on the throne today. King Zhong sneered, "Do you want to say that you want this king to take advantage of his time in Beijing to advise the emperor as much as possible, pro-virtuous ministers and villains, take back the authority of internal and external affairs, and depose the surname Chang?" If this is what you are asking for, then the king has no choice but to say sorry, you may have overestimated my position in the emperor's mind. How can this king be able to bring down the big companion who has been with the emperor for many years with a few words, and almost watched him grow up? I advise you to die of this heart as soon as possible. ”

He smiled lightly and shook his head, "Of course Gu Cheng wouldn't think so, because the prince couldn't afford to take care of himself. Ordered to enter Beijing, waiting for you to give birth to Lin'er to inherit the emperor's heir, in the eyes of others, this is a great grace. But in the future, as soon as the child falls into the womb, he will be immediately admitted to the palace by the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor, and it will be difficult for the prince to see him in the future. For the prince raised in the deep palace, you are only the nominal biological father, but I am afraid that you are not as familiar and affectionate as his Chang Da companion. ”

King Zhong's brows tightened suddenly, he was stunned, and his expression gradually became gloomy. Gu Cheng looked at him, and then said, "This is the method of killing chickens and taking eggs, if it is as I expected, after a hundred years of the emperor, the court will still be the same as now, it is a situation where Chang Quanyi covers the sky with one hand." ”

"If you want to change, you can't follow the path he has set. Have you ever thought that when the emperor decreed that you enter Beijing, he also said a key sentence, called, brother to brother. The position of the prince does not necessarily have to be done by your son, so why can't you do it yourself? ”

Surprised, frightened, and sudden, these expressions alternated on the gloomy face of King Chung in an instant.

"Sure enough, you're not a little brave, who are you?" He squinted, his eyes shining like a sword, "A recent imperial businessman, dare to discuss the candidate for the prince, and it is a capital crime to kill the head if he says it!" ”

"The prince is serious, Gu Cheng is a businessman. When it comes to calculations, I just have a big calculation, and I just want to include the world of Great Wei and the well-being of all the people. ”

He smiled kindly, "It seems that Fang Cai's words are still in the heart of the prince, otherwise the prince can give an order at this time and ask someone to take me for questioning." The words changed, "Brother to brother is the choice of last resort, if the emperor and you have no heirs, you are the prince who occupies the word orthodoxy." The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty included Chang Quanyi, and as long as they did not want to rebel, they did not dare to object. So what the prince should be thinking about now is how to reassure the emperor about you, and how to work hard to give birth to an heir in the next few days, but he has always been unsatisfactory and unsuccessful. ”

King Zhong listened and lightly basked, "Yes, what you said has some truth. But alas, you still overestimate my role, and I'm just an alternative. The emperor is a good cultivator, and everyone in the world knows it, but it doesn't mean that he is not interested in love. For example, last month, the emperor accepted a musician from the teaching workshop, and he made an exception to seal the talent. His body has always been fine, and if it goes on like this, I don't believe that he will never be able to give birth to a son? I'm afraid that the reason why Chang Quanyi agreed to let me enter Beijing was to sell the face of those old people in the cabinet, and the other was just to take care of me on the spot, just in case. ”

It is said that King Zhong is not very old, because he has always been unfavored, and he can't see a smart and clear appearance on weekdays, but when you hear this, you can know that others still understand. What's more, he clearly has expectations for that seat in his heart, whether it is to sit on it in person, or to occupy it from generation to generation through his own blood.

Gu Cheng pondered for a moment before he said, "Don't hide it from the prince, I also think that the matter of the emperor's heir is strange." Since last month, Chang Quanyi was asked to develop an elixir for the emperor to replace the daily consumption of elixir, and I began to be suspicious. He must bypass the Tai Hospital, and under the banner of bowing to the saint, he is beyond reproach on the surface. But after thinking about it, he has agreed to let you enter Beijing, and I am afraid that he still hopes to be able to put his heir in the forbidden middle school as soon as possible. As for the emperor's body, I don't know, but after all, he has been taking gold and stone all year round, and as the saying goes, medicine is poisonous, and I am afraid that the holy bow may not be as good as it seems. If you add Chang Quanyi's intention to add something that hinders fertility to the pill, it will be even more difficult for the emperor to want to have it - of course, this is just my speculation, not necessarily true, but it is a slight inference based on Chang Quanyi's thoughts. ”

"If it's really as you said, the eunuch surnamed Chang is not a pity to die." King Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Your analysis is reasonable, and this Wang Gu listens to it in vain." But I'm wondering at the moment, why are you here? ”

His long narrow eyes were full of prudence, and he asked with a smile, "In other words, you are a celebrity who Chang Quanyi picked up with one hand, and it seems to be a more reasonable choice to make your fortune for his use, so why disturb a pool of spring/water?" If this king can really sit in that seat, what do you want out of it? ”

Being able to ask like this shows that Fang Cai's words have indeed been listened to, Gu Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Traders can't afford to make money early, and if they want to make money, they naturally hope that the world will be peaceful and the Haiyan River will be clear." If I say that the plot in the future is for these eight words, is the prince willing to believe it? ”

Speechless for a moment, he thought that this answer was still too grandiose, too uncannibalistic, laughing at himself, and replacing it with a more humane rhetoric, "It's still not too far away, if there is really that day, Gu Cheng hopes to see that the ministers are not allowed to interfere in politics, and Ju Jue ambushes and punishes the law." ”

That's what the young prince wants to see - Chang Quanyi gets what he deserves. Since they have a common enemy, in a short period of time, they may be able to form an alliance and become friends for a while. This deal, anyway, for him, has no loss, and it can be described as a non-profit.

"Then I borrowed Mr. Gu's auspicious words." There was finally a one-star smile on his gloomy face, "It's just a coincidence, recently one of my concubines was diagnosed as two months pregnant." Since Mr. is a doctor, I don't have to worry about the two masters, please help me decide how to cook. In terms of time, it is always necessary to take a good measure, not to make people suspicious, and not to cause death. ”

Gu Chengxin's mouth fell, although he had thought about it, he still couldn't bear to hear it. He lowered his eyes, did not show any emotion, and said, "The prince entrusts it, Gu Cheng will do his best to do it." ”

King Zhong nodded and smiled, "There is Mr. Lao, it will be inconvenient for us to see each other in the future, but I know that Mr. is a well-informed person, and there must be a way for me, a person who sits in the well and watches the sky, to know more about things outside, and we will come to Japan for a long time." As for what the gentleman wanted, the king immediately ordered someone to fetch it, and wronged it to stay there for a while with the surname Chang. ”

Gu Cheng said hello and waved his hand at him. The deal is negotiated, and he has been placed on the shelf, and it is easy to go up and difficult to come down, not to mention that the other party is an uncertain master. But this is his choice, and if he decides to take this step, there is no turning back.

At least he can do what he can in his own way, for the person in his heart, for what he feels right.

As a scroll of paintings slowly unfolded, the life of the Northern Song Dynasty was laid out in front of Chang Quanyi little by little. The once glorious and prosperous Bianliang City, the noisy Washe Qianmo, the meticulous brushstrokes, and the exquisite composition......

He smiled with a smile on his face, and there was fascination in his eyes, "King Zhong really loves the princess as rumored in the market, and for you to see the princess's illness, he is even willing to give such a big book, which can be regarded as letting you pick up a leak." He turned his head and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Is it the long history of his mansion, who went to find you in person?" ”

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Otherwise, Gu doesn't even know which direction the door of the Zhongwang Mansion is opened." ”

"Look, your reputation is getting louder and louder. Come on, this painting is your heart's desire, and I will accept it. But I'm not going to take advantage of people in vain, so let's talk about it, what do you want to order? ”

Then Gu had the courage to ask for the palm print. Please exchange the palm print for things and give the Daojun Emperor Tingqin Diagram. ”

It's a good thing to have something to ask for, Chang Quanyi is getting more and more satisfied with his state, "I saw that you were thinking about that, and it was not worth anything." Thinking about it, Huizong didn't look down on Zhang Zeduan's paintings that day, and felt that they were just some houses. I didn't expect that in later generations, other people's paintings have become rare treasures. As for Huizong's Lao'er, our family is also annoyed, so I will reward you to take it away. ”

In this way, one after another, the transactions of each taking what they need finally came to an end temporarily, and Gu Cheng did not feel physically and mentally tired until he stepped into the house and closed the door. However, the scroll hidden in his sleeve still reminded him that it was time to return the goods to their original owners.

When I opened the door of the West House, I was furnished as before, and the pot of honeysuckle on the window edge was as lush as ever, and a piece of turquoise was dotted with tender yellow petals.

There was no dust, the windows were clear, because he would come every day to clean them, because he didn't know when she would come back.

Unfortunately, he had not seen her former boudoir, and he did not know where the painting had ever hung. After thinking about it, it was rolled up and put away on the shelf.

Then he would wait for her to come back and decide, he imagined her as a child, and thought to himself that he would laugh. Walking over, sitting on the edge of the bed, the place where my fingers brushed was warm, as if there was still a lingering fragrance of unembers. His body was too tired, and he didn't want to hold on any longer, so he leaned on her bed and slept with his clothes closed.

Smelling the familiar smell, I don't know if I will see familiar people again in my dreams......
