Chunjia is Chunjia after all, and the instigator of smallpox is suspected of the pain caused by the Empress Dowager Yuan, so he only hesitated for a long time, and then he cleaned up his emotions and thought about Zhao Wubo's entry into Beijing.

To be honest, he was satisfied with Gu Fangshu's return.

However, considering the various measures taken by the commander of the Dingbei Army after leaving the fortress, he couldn't help but have doubts.

Originally, Gu Fangshu had not returned to the court for many years, and once he returned from the edict, he should immediately enter the house to see him.

The monarch and the ministers exchanged views in person.

Now because of the smallpox in Miyagi, the former and rear harems are closed, and the monarchs and ministers can't see it for the time being.

Therefore, Chunjia sent someone to Zhaowubo's Mansion to offer condolences, and told the waiter to carefully observe Gu Fangshu and the behavior of the Gu family, and to tell himself carefully after returning.

The attendant left with the reward, and when he came back, he said to Chunjia: "If you return to Your Majesty, Uncle Zhaowu's hair is already gray, but his eyes are blazing, and he looks forward to it. His family Ding Xingwang has a degree of advance and retreat, but he is below Zhao Wubo, and he has not seen a handsome talent. ”

The emperor smiled indifferently and said, "How long have you been sitting there, do you know if there are any Junjie children?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, this is not a slave and maid." The close attendant said, "Everyone in the imperial capital knows that the young children of the Gu clan are really not outstanding now. When the slave and maid went, the Gu family knelt down to listen to the commandment, and looked down to describe the bearing, which was really worse than the children of other families. ”

"Let's go down." Chunjia listened, was noncommittal, asked some details, and asked him to step back, but summoned Deng Chengzhai to meet him.

The courtiers who were summoned into the palace at this time were of course risky, but at the same time, it also proved that Deng Chengzhai was highly favored.

So after he received the news, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly followed the messenger into the palace.

"Yue Ting, what do you say I should do with the Gu family?" When I entered the imperial study, I saw that behind the seat where the emperor was sitting, a carved landscape inlaid mica marble seat screen had been hung.

Chun Jia stood on one side with his hands in his hands, staring at the north on the map, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he slowly turned his head sideways, signaled Deng Chengzhai to excuse himself, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Wei Su's matter, again and again...... So far, there is no definite result, which is really disappointing for me! ”

Deng Chengzhai still bowed respectfully, took the opportunity to think quickly, and listened to the emperor's tone, obviously not very satisfied with Gu Fangshu.

It's no wonder, after all, the dynasty had missed a good opportunity earlier because of the flood in Wei Su's affairs.

After that, I finally made up my mind to send troops, and I thought that at most I would be able to return in a few months, and then not only would the northern Xinjiang enjoy many years of peace, but the most important thing was that the expansion of the territory had been a great achievement since ancient times.

What son of heaven can resist such a temptation?

Especially an emperor like Chunjia, who is not the blood of the first emperor, and the first emperor has two nephews who are closer to the blood, needs this kind of achievement even more to prove himself.

As a result, Gu Fangshu was good, and was first successfully attacked by Hele, and the Dingbei army lost a lot.

Later, for various reasons, he was dragged into the quagmire, and even lost many nobles who went out with the army...... As for the harvest, the Hale has not yet been destroyed, and the fine enamel seems to be less obedient because of the increasing stability, and in addition to some of the gains from the gold mines.

For a huge country, in fact, there is no advantage at all.

But Deng Chengzhai felt that Chunjia's dissatisfaction with Gu Fangshu should not be there, or rather, not only in these places.

Considering that Gu Fangshu was able to sit in the position of commander of the Dingbei Army back then, the emperor may have the biggest knot in his heart, not caring about Gu Fangshu's lack of ability, but suspecting that Gu Fangshu was willing to work and not contribute.

In fact, he also had similar suspicions, after all, Gu Fangshu presided over the Dingbei Army, which was a matter of Xiaozong's time.

At that time, the Ji family had already forced the young and powerful Xiaozong to breathe, and even made Xiaozong unable to step down in the court many times...... In this case, it is really unlikely to say that the Ji family did not consider replacing Gu Fangshu, who had a very good relationship with the regent and was supported by Xiaozong.

But Gu Fangshu still presides over the Dingbei Army.

How can this be a good stubble?

If you really put your heart into it, how can you fight like this?

"Your Majesty, the minister hasn't seen Uncle Zhao yet, so it's hard to say." Deng Chengzhai pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "But the minister thinks that since Uncle Zhao Wubo has returned from the edict, he is somewhat of a smart person. ”

In fact, he is not sure now whether Gu Fangshu's return from the edict is smart for the Gu family.

But standing in the position of the emperor, he summoned important generals for the first time after pro-government.

Gu Fangshu is back, it's okay, if he doesn't come back, where will Chunjia's face go? This is not something that can be redeemed by killing the Gu family.

So Deng Chengzhai praised Gu Fangshu on this point, and Chunjia would definitely not object.

"In that case, the minister thinks, should he be given a chance to defend himself in front of the emperor?" After looking at Chunjia's expression, and seeing that the emperor really didn't mean to deny it, Deng Chengzhai continued, "After all, the matter of the Northland ...... The minister is young and knowledgeable, and he can only talk on paper, but he does not dare to speak falsely. ”

He was glad that the emperor would discuss this kind of military affairs, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

If he is wrong, he will leave the emperor with the impression that he will only talk exaggeratedly, and maybe he will stop at the top in the future, and there will be no treatment like today.

Be honest like now, if you don't understand or are not sure, you can express it directly, so as not to cause the emperor to be disgusted.

After all, he is still young, and it is normal for some omissions.

Sure enough, Chunjia bowed slightly, without anger, and muttered, "I also think it should be like this...... This is the old minister of the first emperor, and there should be no shortage of skills, abilities, and vision! Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this point. This expedition is a bit prestigious...... On the way back, I didn't ask for guilt in advance, and I also felt a little weird. ”

He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked Deng Chengzhai, "Yueting, what do you think of the queen?" ”

Empress?

Deng Chengzhai's heart jumped, before, the emperor had discussed the concubine with him, and at this time, he suddenly mentioned the queen, combined with the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Gu family that the emperor had just expressed, could it be that the concubine had already said that the emperor was moved, and she planned to change the queen?

That's a big deal!

His heart fluctuated, trying to maintain his apparent calm, and said slowly: "The queen's mother is a tiger girl, dignified and virtuous, and it is rumored that she loves all the emperors and heirs very much, and Concubine Yu is also generous......

Chunjia interrupted, "I'm not here to hear that. ”

"Yes." Deng Chengzhai thought about his plans in this life, it was all with the emperor, and it didn't matter if he offended the queen, besides, the emperor might not be willing to spread the dialogue between the monarch and the minister at this moment, so he said bluntly, "The minister thinks that the queen is more than generous and not majestic enough, and she is not a person who can preside over the six palaces." But it doesn't hurt to rely on Your Majesty's majesty. ”

Chunjia sighed, "Exactly. ”

He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "If it is later...... There are courtiers trying their best to advise, the queen's intention is feasible or not, you say, will the queen compromise? ”

Deng Chengzhai reacted suddenly, is this for the concubine's future plans?

He has also heard of the queen's sex, after all, Gu Zhen entered the palace when Chunjia got married, although she was not favored before she became the successor, and it was not noticeable, but as the daughter of Zhao Wubo, who would really ignore her?

If you want to talk about Gu Zhen himself, in fact, Deng Chengzhai thinks it's very good.

has the open-mindedness that a concubine and the imperial heir should have, and has never said how to take the concubine and the imperial heir because of jealousy.

But to talk about this queen, she really doesn't have many opinions.

So in the future, if someone wants to please her or Xinjun and insist on dealing with the concubine's mother and son...... That's really hard to say.

"Your Majesty, people's hearts are fickle, and the ministers dare not say it." Deng Chengzhai said truthfully, "But if it is the queen mother of the current sex, I am afraid that she will compromise." The queen mother has always been very good at persuasion. ”

Chunjia sighed inwardly, he thought the same thing.

So if the concubine and the queen really have a grudge over smallpox, then ...... It is impossible to say that this kind of thing can only be resolved until the facts are realized, and if that is the case, the two sides may not be able to tear their faces to a certain extent.

Simply abandoning Gu Zhen, and even the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes actually have nothing.

The key is that even if the Gu family has no successor, the older generation of Zhao Wubo is still there.

“…… Now that this is an extraordinary period, since you have entered the palace, don't go out for the time being. The emperor thought for a while and said to Deng Chengzhai, "Your former residence in the left and right palaces is still there. ”

After sending Deng Chengzhai away, he ordered someone to deliver a message to Zhao Wubo, and ordered him to secretly enter the palace to meet him after dressing up.

After receiving this news, the Gu clan was panicked, because they couldn't be sure whether the emperor was in a hurry to meet with Zhao Wubo, or if he had a murderous intention?

If it was a clear summons, even if it was the Son of Heaven, it would be theoretically impossible to say that he directly poisoned an important minister.

At least an emperor like Chunjia who values decency wouldn't do that.

But today's son let Zhao Wubo enter the palace with people's eyes and ears, this is ...... If the emperor set up a sword and axe hand in the palace and killed Zhao Wubo directly, and said to the outside world that Zhao Wubo spied on Da Nei and was killed by the forbidden army, then not only Zhao Wubo died in vain, but the great Gu clan would also be killed justifiably, right?

This is really not that the Gu family thinks too much, just look at Chunjia's criminal record, the queen mother's mother's maiden family is a close family; The Empress Dowager's maiden family said that she was leaving a line, but in fact, there was no one except Yuan Shu...... This master seems to be destined to clash with his descendants.

The Gu clan really didn't have the courage to feel that their new descendants were special.

"Your Majesty has a life, and you still have to go." There was a slaughter in the main hall, but in the end, Zhao Wubo made up his mind and said, "Otherwise, it will be disobedience, and then I will talk about it...... Although His Majesty has killed the Ji family and the Yuan family successively, those two families are not wronged, after all, they clearly have the act of bullying the king. Although I, Gu, am not sensitive, I have never done anything disrespectful to the king...... Your Majesty is not going to do that. ”

Old Lady Gu said worriedly: "I thought the same before, and even thought that His Majesty favored the concubine, maybe he wanted our family to owe the concubine a favor...... But I didn't expect His Majesty to summon him secretly, this ...... Today's thoughts, we are really hard to guess! ”

No matter how much he imagined that he felt stable before, in the end, he was his own son, and when he was coming, how could he not be afraid?

But Zhao Wubo insisted on it, and besides, they had no capital to oppose it now, so they had to watch Gu Fangshu change his robe after nightfall, quietly go out of the corner gate, and go to the palace.
