Of course, since everyone agrees with this kind of monarchy, it is understandable to centralize power, but if the emperor centralizes power while harboring the intention of suppression, it is inevitably a bit unkind. After all, without these heroes, the Zhao family would never be able to sit on the throne with his own strength, and governing the country and the world should never rely on conspiracy and suppression, but should serve the world with benevolence, right?

After the death of Wei Guogong in the previous life, the emperor did not have any big bad influence except for a few complaints from the cabinet, and he did not bring the contradiction with the cabinet to the table for this reason, which shows that he had already thought about it, since this is the case, of course she should remind Gu Zhicheng.

When Gu Zhicheng heard her say this again, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He held the tea and looked straight ahead, the whole person stayed there, held his breath for a long time and didn't spit out a word, if he was a little worried about the future of Wei Guogong because she reminded him before, but when she pulled the matter to Xungui's head and directly linked this matter to himself, he must not just be worried.

People have a selfish nature, even if he is close to the other three families like brothers, but there will definitely be a difference between them, even if they are brothers, the feeling of the knife resting on someone's neck is different from resting on his own neck.

Therefore, Gu Zhicheng could no longer be as calm and worried as he was just now, and his heart was lifted in the air: "Do you think that the emperor will really attack us nobles?" ”

Shen Yan paused: "Although I have no evidence, if the emperor really wants to give a secret order to the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Wei will definitely be greatly damaged in the end." Thinking about it again, even if Han Ji can stand up to the Wei Mansion, he is already the third generation of the Duke of the Kingdom, and the threat to the princes and grandchildren is definitely not so great. ”

Gu Zhicheng clenched the teacup and couldn't help nodding deeply.

Although Shen Yan is a half-grown child, his vision is much wider than that of him, the prince who holds a male soldier, although his friendship with Shen Mi is getting deeper and deeper, but Shen Mi is much more cautious, he will hint at him about the issues that should be paid attention to on weekdays, but it is never possible to carefully dissect things and analyze them with him like this.

Although he knew that this girl was not necessarily all for his family's sake, and maybe there were some unknown Xiao Jiujiu of herself, but he was willing to analyze this point with him, even if he wanted to take advantage of him, he was willing to let her take advantage of him. After all, she didn't have a reason to harm him so far, did she?

Gu Zhicheng pondered for a while and stood up, "I still have some business, I want to go back to the study, you can talk to your aunt." ”

Shen Yan also stood up, "My cat is still with Gu Song, I'll go find him." As he spoke, he went out with his skirt in his hand.

Gu Zhicheng watched her back disappear outside the door before sighing, and then raised his feet and went to the study.

Since we know that the emperor's dispatch of troops will be detrimental to the Wei Mansion and even the noble circle, then this matter must be stopped, but how can it be stopped? Gu Zhicheng began to feel a headache again. He can't just guess and go into the palace to advise the emperor, right? First of all, he had to be sure that the emperor really meant this!

He felt that every time this girl threw him something terrible.

After pacing around the study a few times, he stopped at the window, and after a moment's pause, he took his whip from the wall and walked out the door.

In the Wei Mansion, Han Yun stood in front of Han Ji with his bow in his breath.

"I don't want this bow anymore, I want it big, so big! Wang Li's bow is much bigger than this, and I want to compare it to his! He took off the bow and placed it on the stone table, gesturing with his hands in the air, then crossed his fat waist, pouted his little mouth, and his fat face was full of disbelief.

And Han Ji in front of him was sitting on the stone chair leisurely peeling oranges, and the corners of his eyes didn't slip over him, and he refused slowly: "Wang Yu is a head taller than you, and people are in better shape than you, you look like a winter melon, and if you go out with a big bow, people will definitely treat you as a cotton-playing person." ”

"I'm not playing cotton!" Han Yun shouted, and threw himself into the arms of E, who was sitting and drinking tea: "Mother, look, brother, he dislikes me!" ”

Eshi flexed his fingers and tapped his head: "I also think it's time for you to lose weight." I don't want to have a son who looks like a winter melon. ”

Han Yun stood up sadly, pointed at the two of them, held back for a long time, and stomped his feet: "I'll go find the cook!" ”

The cook has chicken legs to eat, which can comfort his wounded heart.

Xin Yi walked over, bowed down and said, "Son, the prince of Rongguo is here." ”

E Shi raised his head, and Han Yun also stopped.

Han Ji paused slightly, then stood on the ground, and suddenly reached out and picked up Han Yun's arm, stuffed the orange into his mouth, and threw the meat ball in his hand into the hands of the pile of guards not far away: "Take the second master to squat on the horse." If you don't squat for an hour, you are not allowed to find a cook. Then he clapped his hands and calmly went up to the corridor.

Han Yun looked at the sky with resentment and groaned.

The E's side also got up and asked the maids to pack up the cups and saucers and enter the room.

Gu Zhicheng had already been let into the flower hall, and was sitting comfortably on the right side looking at a small pot of goldfish on a few cases, and when he saw Han Ji coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Yun is repairing again?" ”

Han Ji smiled and sat down on the main seat, "No way, it's too fat, my father will definitely complain that we eat too much for him when he comes back." ”

Hearing the mention of Wei Guogong, the smile on Gu Zhicheng's face couldn't help but feel a little far-fetched. He took the tea handed over by Han Ji himself, lowered his head and sipped, was silent for a while, and then said, "Is there anything you have to do in the Chunfu Prison Field?" ”

Every year, the Chunfu prison is jointly guarded by the officers and soldiers of the Wucheng Battalion and the Chinese Military Battalion, and this session tries that Wei Guogong is not in Beijing, since there are two governors and Tongzhi to transfer troops on their behalf, Han Ji, as the son of the Han family, has a vacant post in the camp, so it stands to reason that he has a part in participating. And after this errand, he can basically get a commendation, this kind of beauty, how could the officers in the battalion leave him without knowing each other?

Han Ji said: "I have little qualifications, and I don't want to be famous, there are still many capable cadres in the battalion, I pushed it." ”

Along with the Chinese military camp, there was also the Wucheng battalion under the jurisdiction of Marquis Anning, if he went, he would inevitably have contact with the other party, and when the king of Chu had not had further contact with him, it was obviously better to avoid it first.

Fortunately, Gu Zhicheng didn't delve into his answer when he heard him, but just thoughtfully took a book of tea scriptures on the shelf and flipped through it.

Han Ji looked at him quietly for a moment and said, "Brother Gu seems to have something on his mind?" ”

Gu Zhicheng was silent and glanced around.

Han Ji paused slightly, then got up and said with a smile: "The bamboo shoots in the garden in the east have made a lot of hair, and after watching the winter scenery for a long time, it is worth turning around in the bamboo forest." Big brother hasn't been to the house for a long time, why don't we change places for tea? ”

Gu Zhicheng smiled: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Xin Yi then asked people to go to the bamboo forest to do some work, and here the two of them went out of the courtyard gate and walked to the east garden.

Entering the garden gate, there were many fewer figures on all sides, except for a few maids waiting for the summons, and then there was only Xin Yi who was making tea at the stone table.

Gu Zhicheng walked all the way along the bluestone road, and said with his hands in his hands: "Has your father come back with a letter recently?" ”

Han Ji said: "The last letter I came back was a year ago, and I came back with the military newspaper. After speaking, he smiled and said: "I don't know what my eldest brother is thinking, is it related to the military situation in the northwest, not my father?" ”

Gu Zhicheng glanced at him appreciatively, and stopped: "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he looked around, and then said, "I know you're a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush." You know the situation in Dongliao, you must also know the holy decree issued to the northwest by the military department a few days ago, and now I have some clues, I suspect that the emperor may have a secret decree to your father, so that he can send troops to Dongliao at the end, intending to take advantage of the fisherman.

"This matter is not child's play, if there is such a thing, it will have a lot to do with the Wei Mansion and even the entire noble circle, the purpose of my visit is to let you go to the northwest to find a way to ask the truth from your father, and see if the emperor has this plan!"

"Send troops?"

Han Ji's eyes narrowed when he heard the key point. After a moment's pause, he frowned and said, "Where did the eldest brother learn about this clue?" ”

"I'm ashamed."

Gu Zhicheng shook his head, "It was someone from the Shen family who hinted at me that I thought about this." I didn't even think about it before this, but judging from the various signs she said, it is very likely that the emperor has such an idea. Only you have the way to ask the truth about this matter, and if that's the case, we have to stop the emperor from doing this. ”

Han Ji looked at him and nodded slowly.

Shen Yancai came back from the Rongguo Mansion, and Fu Niang told her that Pang Ahu had seen Gu Zhicheng go straight to the Wei Mansion, she only nodded, and then went back to the room briskly.

Gu Zhicheng listened to her words, and she was bound to look for the truth, she also wanted to know about this matter, but no one could know the truth except Han Ji, if Gu Zhicheng didn't go to him, who would he go to?

Now she is waiting for Han Ji to get a reply from the northwest, Wei Guogong should have a good chance of winning this battle, he will never even hide his own son, if Wei Guogong said that he did not receive the secret decree in this life, she can also relax some heart, but if there is, then it will have to take some thought.

She asked Fu Niang to go to the Gu family if she had nothing to do, anyway, she is quite familiar with the Gu family maids now.

Here Han Ji sent Gu Zhicheng away, and immediately called Xin Yi into the study.

He first dragged the map of Dongliao and looked at it, then turned around and said: "The emperor has already had an estrangement with Zhu Zhifei and Xu Jingfang, and it is reasonable that he would want to take the opportunity to earn merit during this civil strife in Dongliao, but I didn't expect him to have the courage to do this plan of cultivating the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang." In this way, he will definitely not reveal the news before sending troops.

"There are only more than 30,000 people in the border passes, and my father is leading the army out of the nest, and there is not much chance of winning, so there are probably only two consequences, one is the martyrdom of the father, and the other is that after the defeat, the emperor faced the accusations of the cabinet and put the responsibility on the father, that is, in case of winning, the emperor also has a bargaining chip against the cabinet. No matter what you do, it won't do the Han family any good. ”R1152
