In the land of Annan, there was a rebellion, and the troops sent by the imperial court were twice as large as those of Annan, and they actually fought for more than a year. Not only is there no good news, but reinforcements are needed.

This made the emperor and the government and the opposition angry.

Yuanpinghou Jiang Liang was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

The emperor respects Jiang Liang as an old minister, and holds the world's soldiers and horses, and has meritorious service to him and the Queen Mother, and has always relied on and respected Jiang Liang, but this time he openly reprimanded him for improper use of people in the main hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the emperor was angry.

Since his accession to the throne, he has used troops not only against Annam but also against the Tatars in the northwest last year.

The use of troops in the northwest was also defeated, and the Tatars were barely suppressed, which made the emperor unhappy.

Now that Annan has been defeated again, his anger cannot be restrained.

The emperor was furious in the early dynasty and angrily rebuked Jiang Liang, the Marquis of Yuanping; Xia Shoufu made a statement, and he was also scolded; Even Gu Yantao persuaded him, but he was scolded back.

This matter soon came out.

Zhu Zhongjun also heard about it.

He told Gu Jinzhi about this: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been defeated repeatedly, which makes his face gloomy. In the future, if the government is powerless, under the pen of the historian, he will be a dumb king, and he can't afford to lose. This is an opportunity. Annan's counterinsurgency army will definitely change its commander, no matter who goes, as long as it wins, it will have a bright future. ”

When he spoke, his face was imperative.

"You want to go?" Gu Jinzhi asked him.

He served in the military that year, and also coped with errands, and only spent two years in the navy.

"Do you know how to march and fight?" Gu Jinzhi said again.

Zhu Zhongjun glanced at her and said, "I'm a fool, how can I march and fight?" I want to give all the guards of the palace to the imperial court, as reinforcements, and recommend Sun Ke as the commander......."

Gu Jinzhi was silent.

She asked, "You go and say?" ”

Zhu Zhongjun's face was slightly constricted, and he did not speak.

"Otherwise. I'm going to help you out? I presume that it was my uncle's meaning. The emperor will only suspect that our Gu family wants to make meritorious contributions at this point and use you as a fool. Gu Jin said, "You go and say, the emperor should probably think about it again......"

Zhu Zhongjun stared at her.

There was a little hesitation in his eyes.

After thinking about it, he said, "No need, I'll think of it myself." ”

With that, it's time to leave.

Gu Jinzhi caught up a few steps and grabbed his arm.

"Zhu Zhongjun. What the hell do you think, can't you sue me? Gu Jinzhi clutched his sleeve tightly and said, "Last time, this time, again." If you are always like this. I'm not going to ask you anymore. ”

Zhu Zhongjun's eyes sank, and he said, "Let you say?" Looking back and thinking, I always take advantage of you! ”

Gu Jin's heart was slightly sluggish.

"You didn't say anything like that?" Zhu Zhongjun asked her rhetorically, "You said last time that I always use you." Let me say it this time, one day is not as you like, and you should miss me so much... Don't sue you. You are multi-minded; Sue you, you can't figure it out! ”

Gu Jinzhi choked.

That's what she said.

In her previous life, Zhu Zhongjun did often ask her to help with such things......

At that time, it really felt like he was using her.

She for a while. I couldn't say a word.

"I'll do it for you!" Gu Jinzhi finally said, "This time, I will send it to you for use, I am willing." ”

said. For some reason, she sneered to herself.

Zhu Zhongjun glared at her.

I saw that she didn't sound good. But he clutched his sleeve tightly and did not let go.

This made Zhu Zhongjun suddenly moved, and his heart was warm, so he ignored Gu Jinzhi's hard mouth.

――*――*――

Emperor Long Yan was furious, and the people of the government and the opposition were panicked.

The Gu family's house is still quiet.

Gu Jinzhi and her mother went to the Gu family's old house to visit the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law.

She said that she wanted to see the fetus of her eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law......

In this regard, Gu Jinzhi was more enthusiastic, and Song Paner did not doubt that she had him, so she took her back.

When Gu Jin came, the eldest aunt was naturally very happy and left them for dinner. Gu Jinzhi checked the pulse of the two children.

The eldest sister-in-law is a little weak, and the third sister-in-law is normal.

I said a recipe for dietary therapy to my sister-in-law, but I didn't say anything more.

The eldest lady also took the opportunity to gossip about the affairs of the capital with Song Paner......

"The Hu family desperately wants to marry Hu Jie to the Tan family as a stepfamily." The eldest lady said to Song Pan'er, "With a door like the Tan family, even the concubines of the Marquis of Jianzhao Mansion are pasted up, where can I get the Hu family?" If Hu Jie is the concubine of the Marquis of Yongxi's mansion, she said something else, but it's not ......"

Song Pan'er laughed.

She also thinks that the human relations in Beijing are sometimes more interesting.

Jianzhaohou Mansion is the future in-law of the five girls.

Hearing this, the fifth girl was a little unhappy.

King Shen's Mansion is willing to give his daughter to the Tan family as a stepfamily, not to mention the construction of the Zhaohou Mansion? Why did the eldest aunt only mention the construction of the Zhaohou Mansion?

The fifth girl didn't dare to say anything, and she breathed a sigh in her heart.

She hopes that she will marry better than everyone else.

But the eldest aunt made fun of her in-laws......

The eldest lady was talking, but she didn't notice the five girls next to her.

After talking for a long time, it was time for the uncle to go down.

When Gu Yantao came back, his face was gloomy.

Gu Jinzhi and Song Paner took the opportunity to leave.

The next day, Gu Jinzhi was going to enter the palace again to see the Queen Mother.

Song Paner smiled curiously: "What's wrong with you these days?" Not only to see your sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, but also to enter the palace to see Concubine De and the Queen Mother. But what's the matter? ”

"The third princess is also full moon, just go and see how she is doing." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "Niangniang has just finished confinement. The words of the imperial doctor, my mother didn't like to listen to them, but only listened to me and a half. By the way, I will say hello to the Queen Mother. ”

is quite reasonable, Song Paner stopped asking, asked someone to send a car, and sent her out.

Zhu Zhongjun also followed.

After entering the palace, the two went straight to Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace is solemn and quiet today.

Tan Guifei and Zhang Shufei were talking in front of the Queen Mother.

The faces of the two were also cautious.

They were fine, they just said goodbye as usual, but they didn't dare to laugh.

The Queen Mother herself did not smile.

Seeing Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi coming in, there was finally a little brightness on his face.

Tan Guifei and Zhang Shufei were very knowledgeable, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

The Queen Mother let Zhu Zhongjun sit beside her. smiled and took his hand, and asked someone to bring Gu Jinzhi a brocade to sit on.

"Why do you want to look at the mourning family today?" The Queen Mother asked Gu Jinzhi, "The mourning family hasn't looked at Xiao Qi for a few days......"

Gu Jin said: "I was still dreaming yesterday, dreaming of you, and I missed you." ”

The Queen Mother laughed and asked Gu Jinzhi what her dream was.

"Dreaming of rowing." Gu Jin said, "You and the prince and Aunt Cheng are sitting at the bow of the boat, and I am rowing at the stern, and the boat is too heavy." Draw water and get your clothes wet, and you're scared. But you took me a lotus leaf cake to eat...... It's messy, I don't know where to draw, I don't know what's going on, but the lotus leaf cake is delicious. ”

The Queen Mother laughed again.

"You're mourning your family. Or are you hungry? The Queen Mother said, and then asked Aunt Cheng beside her, "What is a lotus leaf cake?" ”

Aunt Cheng also smiled and said, "The slave doesn't know." However, the palace has just made hibiscus shortbread, do you want to try it? ”

Zhu Zhongjun hurriedly said: "I want it, I want it!" ”

The Queen Mother doted on him and asked Aunt Cheng to bring snacks.

Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun ate unceremoniously.

The Queen Mother saw that they were eating happily. I was also happy in my heart, and the gloom dissipated a little. Aunt Cheng persuaded the Queen Mother to use some on the side, and the Queen Mother tasted half of it herself.

Since the day before yesterday, the Queen Mother has had little appetite.

Ate half a piece of bread. Her appetite was slightly opened, and she asked Aunt Cheng to twist a small half of it for her.

After eating and washing his hands, Gu Jinzhi said that he wanted to go to see Concubine De and the third princess.

The queen mother asked a little palace maid to accompany her to Jinghe Palace.

The third princess no longer lives in Jinghe Palace.

Since the full moon. The third princess divided the palace into another palace, and there were special grandmothers and palace maids to serve her.

Concubine De was fine all day. Too lazy to get out of bed.

When Gu Jinzhi came, she was still half-lying on the bed.

Seeing Gu Jinzhi coming, she was also happy to have someone to talk to her.

She asked Gu Jinzhi: "Have you heard that something happened to Annan?" For this, the emperor not only scolded the courtiers, but even Concubine Tan and Concubine Zhang were also scolded......"

Gu Jinzhi said that he had heard a little.

"The internal government must not discuss the government in vain." Concubine De smiled, "I heard that the one who is in charge is a little related to the Zhang family." Concubine Zhang Shu just asked, which made the emperor angry. Tan Guifei helped persuade and was also scolded. It shows that it is not pleasing to be too clever. ”

Gu Jinzhi remembered Tan Guifei and Zhang Shufei who he had just seen in Kunning Palace.

She smiled and listened, but did not answer.

Concubine De asked her again if she knew about the Tan family marrying the Queen Mother's maiden family again.

"I heard what my aunt said...... "Gu Jin's way."

"These days, the palace is particularly quiet." Concubine De said, "I said earlier that the Tan family wanted to marry the niece of the Queen Mother, and many people came to Tan Guifei to coincide, and the emperor also had many rewards. But the day before yesterday, there was obviously nothing to do with Concubine Tan, but the emperor even scolded her. It's confusing. Fortunately, Lan'er told me to call me sick, don't mess with these. ”

Gu Jinzhi was slightly surprised.

She didn't know that the palace maid beside Concubine De still had such knowledge.

"Anyway, I'm in confinement, and I don't get involved in their affairs." Concubine De said, "It's just that people are panicking." Did Uncle say anything? ”

Gu Jinzhi entered the palace to help Zhu Zhongjun implement the plan, not to help Concubine De spread the word.

"Nope." Gu Jinzhi smiled, "How can I understand these things?" If it weren't for the mother suing me, I wouldn't have understood......"

Concubine De pursed her lips and smiled.

She also felt that Gu Jinzhi was not clever enough in other aspects except for her good medical skills, so she didn't embarrass her.

Concubine De pulled Gu Jinzhi to talk for a long time, and then went to the palace of the third princess with Gu Jinzhi and looked back at the third princess.

The third princess was sleeping, so Gu Jinzhi didn't bother.

She returned to Kunning Palace, sat for a while, and went home with Zhu Zhongjun.

Later, the emperor heard that Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun were attacking today.

Gu Jinzhi also went to see Concubine De and the third princess.

Thinking of Gu Jinzhi's cautious and not easy to enter the palace, the emperor felt a little abnormal.

He thought about it carefully, and then thought of Gu Yantao.

Then, I thought of the guards of the Luzhou Palace......
