The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household retired, and the emperor sat alone in the imperial study, his eyes a little astringent.

In the past few days, the queen mother's condition has improved, and the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After he went to court in the past, he had to serve in front of the Queen Mother, which had become a habit.

He didn't have to serve these days, so he took the opportunity to take a nap.

I sleep a little too much these days, and I often have dry eyes, and I never sleep less.

He gently rubbed his eyes and acupoints, and it soothed a little.

Another unfinished holy decree on the table was for Gu Jinzhi's concubine. Now that there was no need for it, the emperor gently folded it up and put it aside.

Without Gu Jinzhi, what method should he use to elevate the Gu family and make the Gu family a powerful family on a par with the Tan family and the Yuanping Marquis Mansion?

Gu Jinzhizhi lived the queen mother, and the emperor was determined to win over the Gu family, so he promoted her to be a first-class concubine. Otherwise, the Gu family has no meritorious service, and secondly, Gu Jinzhi has not given birth to a prince, and there is no great virtue in the harem, so at most he can only be crowned a nobleman.

Now, what to do?

The emperor had some headaches.

Although the frontier has been quiet and peaceful in recent years, the court has been honest and honest, and there are no traitors running rampant, and the streets are full of wolves and tigers.

But the emperor's new practice of Zuo, it is inevitable that the old ministers in the court will bully the young master. In the more than four years since he ascended the throne, the situation between the DPRK and China has gradually revealed its shortcomings.

Leader, one is Yuan Pinghou, and the other is the Tan family.

Marquis Yuanping is the only son of the princess, known for his military exploits, and he is still a scholar in the Ministry of War. Although he did something hidden and did not dare to be openly arrogant, he could not escape the eyes and ears of the emperor, and the emperor was shocked when he saw it.

The Marquis of Yuanping and the princess's mother and son have the merit of supporting the emperor, and such old ministers cannot be disposed of, otherwise the emperor will fall into the notoriety of revenge, and everyone in the court will be in danger. I'm afraid the situation is unstable.

The emperor just watched Jiang Liang, the Marquis of Yuanping, grow mighty day by day......

In addition, the maiden family of the former empress, Zhang and Hou Tan, also worried the emperor. Old man Tan has been the first assistant. Although he is not in his position now, his protégés are all over the government and the opposition. The current Xia Shoufu is also a proud disciple of Old Man Tan.

Xia Shoufu vaguely revealed several times that he wanted the emperor to crown the five-year-old eldest prince born by Tan Housheng as the crown prince.

The emperor thought that the Empress Dowager owed peace and wanted to go to Kunning Palace to serve, and interrupted Xia Shoufu's suggestion.

There were also several ministers, Tiao Chen asked Tan Guifei, the sister of Empress Fengxian, to be the queen.

In this way, the Tan family's prestige is even greater.

The Tan family and the Marquis of Yuan Ping dominated the court one by one and let them go down. One day, the emperor's power will be in vain.

The emperor's foundation is not stable, and there are not many loyal ministers. Therefore, he did not dare to rashly break the situation between the DPRK and China, so he had to infiltrate and disintegrate from the inside.

He wanted to raise a new family and break the existing shackles.

Gu Yantao, a scholar of Dongge University, is the person valued by the emperor.

I still remember back then, when the emperor was still the crown prince. Hunting in the West Mountain, an antelope was chased to the edge of the cliff, hit seven or eight arrows, and then stumbled and fell, but hung on the ancient pine halfway up the mountain.

The emperor said forget it, don't want it. Too dangerous. It's not easy to take.

And then everybody left.

The Emperor stood there and watched for a long time.

Gu Yantao leaned over and asked, "Prince, do you want that antelope?" ”

The Emperor nodded.

Of course he wants. However, the hillside is too steep, and if you are not careful, you will fall down and break your bones. The antelope was apparently dead, and hung there motionless, if he went to get it. It's not impossible.

The Emperor hesitated.

Gu Yantao lifted the hem of his clothes and pulled the small trees and short grass on the small hillside. took such a risk and helped the prince get the antelope back.

He finally came back safely.

Both the emperor and the emperor were very happy and praised Gu Yantao's bravery in person. Although he is an official, he is a military general.

After going back, the first emperor asked the emperor what he thought of Gu Yantao.

The emperor said: "He wants to slap me, which shows that he has a strong desire for power." His chapters are well written and his introduction is unique, but Tan Shoufu doesn't like him, saying that he doesn't have the style of a gentleman, he is too villainous, and he always suppresses him......"

The Emperor nodded approvingly.

Then the first emperor said to the emperor: "You have to remember what your father said today: Gu Yantao, if the situation is chaotic, you can promote him." The more chaos he makes, the better you can win. Once you are truly in control of the situation between the DPRK and China, you should no longer use this person. This person is powerful, and he does not spare his own life, how can he spare the lives of others? When the time comes, his means of expelling dissidents are only afraid of being terrifying. ”

The emperor believed that as long as Gu Yantao had the opportunity, he would be able to become a generation of traitors.

This kind of person, you must be careful of him.

Gu Yantao is like a falcon, and it is indeed very helpful when hunting, but you should be more careful of being scratched by him.

In the four years since the emperor ascended the throne, he has looked at it coldly for four years.

Two years ago he wanted to do it. Then, within half a year, the queen mother was seriously ill, and he suddenly lost his energy.

How hard it was for him and his mother to get his father's appreciation. The emperor can never forget what his mother once did to him.

He continued to keep his head in obscurity.

Now, the queen mother is sick, and the various shortcomings of the DPRK and China are becoming more and more strict, and it is time to do it.

Gu Yantao, the falcon, is also strong, and it should be released.

It's just that the emperor lacks an opportunity.

The appearance of Gu Jinzhi gave the emperor this opportunity.

What the emperor wants to clean up is not only those powerful ministers who rely on the old and sell the old, but also his two brothers who have a huge guard army.

The illness of the Queen Mother delayed a lot of things, and also made many people take it lightly, thinking that the emperor had not paid attention to their disobedience.

In fact, the emperor saw it all.

There are 60,000 elite soldiers in the Nanchang Palace, and there are 60,000 in the King of Luyang.

These two younger brothers, one was raised by his own mother, and he has repeatedly expressed his loyalty; One is stupid.

Could it be that in this way, the emperor is at ease?

Put it like a sharp knife, always placed in the emperor's vest.

Once out of control, the knife would stab him.

What about brothers? The emperor didn't believe either of them. The king of Luyang is stupid, if the king of Nanchang wants to make a mistake and instigate the king of Luyang, the king of Luyang has no judgment and is stupid, and he will definitely borrow troops.

In fact, the emperor is most afraid of the king of Nanchang.

Luyang Wang ...... In the end, it is the younger brother of his mother's compatriots. The emperor has a deep affection for the Queen Mother, and from the bottom of his heart, he also has a preference for King Luyang.

The emperor was also happy to be able to use Gu Jinzhi and the relatives of the King of Luyang to "imprison" the King of Luyang and the King of Nanchang in Beijing openly, and then send people to solve the guards of the Nanchang Palace and the Luyang Palace, so as to achieve the soldiers who surrendered without a fight.

There was a smile on his lips.

Something has finally settled.

Next, he only needs to lift Gu Yantao, and the net will be cast, waiting for the time to be ripe. Closing the net.

It's just that how to raise Gu Yantao without startling the snake and arousing the suspicion of the Tan family and Yuan Pinghou. And how effective can it be?

The emperor was also distressed.

It's a pity that there is only one Gu Jinzhi, which is not enough for him to make two places.

――――――

Gu Jinzhi was able to be a concubine for King Luyang, and the Queen Mother was very happy.

She knew that this marriage was promised by Emperor Chrysostom. But it was handed over to the Ministry of Rites.

The procedure is cumbersome, and I am afraid that it will take a year and a half.

King Luyang can also live in Beijing for another year and a half, and the Queen Mother is so happy that there are tears in the corners of her eyes.

Zhong Jun married Gu Jinzhi, and he was able to accompany the Queen Mother for a few more days, and the Queen Mother's heart for this little son was slowly let go.

She called Aunt Cheng. Let her go to the treasury of Kunning Palace, turn out twenty-eight boxes of gifts, and send her when Gu Jinzhi goes home tomorrow.

"The mourning family is going to marry a daughter-in-law again!" The Queen Mother said with a smile. "Go and bring the jewelry box of the mourning family, it is the ...... that the mourning family brought when they entered the palace"

When the Queen Mother entered the palace that year, her mother gave her a pair of Hetian mutton fat jade bracelets.

one, the queen mother gave the emperor's first empress; Let one, she has always kept. Prepared for Zhongjun's princess.

She thought it would take three or five years to go. Where to know. Now I can give it away.

The Queen Mother was very happy.

Aunt Cheng was also happy, so she hurriedly went to find it, and went to invite Gu Jinzhi again.

The Queen Mother was very cautious and personally brought it for her: "When the mourning family entered the palace, they only took this pair of jade bracelets. Although it is not the best good thing, it is the heart of the mourning family. One was given to the first queen, and this one is yours, so wear it well. You are a daughter-in-law for the mourning family, and the mourning family likes it the most......"

Gu Jinzhi thanked him.

She didn't dislike Zhong Jun's demeanor at all, which made the Queen Mother even more moved.

Zhong Jun is actually nothing wrong, he just ...... At the age of thirteen, he still looks like a six- or seven-year-old child. behaves childishly, but also kind, knows what is good and bad, not stupid and stupid!

There are finally people in this world who understand Zhongjun.

The Queen Mother pulled Gu Jinzhi to gossip for a long time, thinking that she would go home again tomorrow, so she let her go to sleep first, and then continued to let Aunt Cheng and the palace people pack up the gifts.

"Tomorrow, the mourning family will allow you to leave the palace and send Jinzhi back." The Queen Mother said to Aunt Cheng, "Go to her house and have a look." I vaguely remember that Gu Guogong said that their family was still in Sanyuanpo Hutong. The houses in that place were very tight. If you don't live well, come back and tell your family. The daughter-in-law of the mourning family can't be wronged. ”

Aunt Cheng said yes.

On the third day of February, the spring snow did not melt, but added snow color.

The streets lined up are all white, and the entire Jingshi is pure, and the horizon is also broadened.

The eunuch, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, sent the little eunuch out of the palace early in the morning to inform the Gu family that the seventh lady of their family was coming back today, and asked Qingdao to greet him.

The Gu family was in an uproar again.

What Gu Jinzhi went to do when he entered the palace, they didn't know; What is going on now, they don't even know.

Uncle Gu Yantao instructed his subordinates to sweep the road.

At noon, the snow stopped, and just after Sizheng, a servant came to tell Gu Yantao, saying that Miss Seven was back, and the eunuch Chang Gonggong and Aunt Cheng, the chief administrator of the Empress Dowager's Kunning Palace, personally sent it back, and carried more than 20 things behind, all of which were silk and satin, jewelry and playthings, which were full of them, blocking the Sanyuanpo Hutong.

Gu Yantao often walks in the palace, so he naturally knows what the weight of Chang Gonggong is.

He jumped up at once, did not bother to change his clothes, did not wear clogs, stepped on the snow, and flew to the gate.
