Chapter 270: The Divisive Meter

Well, who is that scholar now, this king will definitely send someone down to find out immediately. I'll tell you how this matter (qíng) progresses after that. But Ah Mian wants to promise me. I can't check it privately, I'm afraid you'll be in danger, after all, I can't keep an eye on you all the time. ”

  Also considering that maybe Liu Ce and the others wanted to make a small move, Gu Zhixingshen (qíng) looked at Su Mian seriously and explained like this, for fear that something would happen to Su Mian if he was not careful, and Gu Zhixing could not withstand any accidents about Su Mian.

  It seems that because he didn't expect Gu Zhixing to suddenly become so serious, Su Mian naturally wouldn't continue to smile on his face, Gu Zhixing cared about his safety, Su Mian knew, and of course he didn't want him to worry too much, so he nodded hurriedly.

  "Don't worry, if it weren't for the fact that Teng Zixing was too difficult to communicate before, I wouldn't have come forward in person. In my own shop, I still haven't finished collecting combustible ice (qíng) in the river, so I'm busy! ”

  Su Mian deliberately said playfully and arrogantly (jiāo), Gu Zhixing really couldn't help it after hearing it, reached out and pinched her little face, and before he could continue to say anything, he heard Su Mian's stomach rumbling, and shook his head with a smile for a while.

  "It's all to blame on this king, I said before that I would take you to eat first, who knew that it would take so long. It was said that today (rì) happened to go to Fengyun Tower to apologize to the shopkeeper in person, so let's go to Fengyun Tower for dinner. ”

  Su Mian was indeed hungry, but he was busy with business just now, and he didn't pay much attention to it, let alone remind him more. When Gu Zhixing said this now, she naturally nodded happily.

  The mining of combustible ice in the river is proceeding in an orderly manner, and in Su Mian's opinion, everything is not bad, but when this matter reaches the ears of those who have a heart, it naturally becomes a terrible bad thing.

  "The mud of the river channel has to supply tens of thousands of fish, shrimp and other activities directly in the river, if all of them are destroyed, isn't this destroying the balance of the entire river and even the water cycle of our Xisheng, this practice is really a great violation of the balance of (yīn) yang, which is really a big disadvantage!"

  Now I have said all over these things (qíng), and some of them are blaming Su Mian. And the person who said such things was naturally Liu Ce, who didn't want Su Mian and Gu Zhixing to have a good time, and now he was in the imperial study, almost tearfully accusing Su Mian's "outrageous" behavior.

  Gu Zhaoben rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably after listening to what Liu Ce said, and finally he sighed helplessly, tried to hold his temper, and comforted the other party a few words.

  "Since Uncle Huang didn't stop Miss Su from doing this, he must have a reason, not to mention that I heard that now they have only mined one river, and they have not moved the people to really move the entire river system of the Western Sage, so the prime minister doesn't need to be so panicked."

  Liu Ce saw that he had tried his best to separate his relationship with Gu Zhixing in Gu Zhao, and as far as he knew, Gu Zhixing had almost never communicated with Gu Zhao privately except for the previous dynasty, thinking that both of them were angry, but Gu Zhao was still talking to them, and Liu Ce was naturally not very happy in his heart.

  Therefore, no matter how Gu Zhao persuaded him, Liu Ce still looked like he was righteous, as if he was for the sake of the people, not for his own selfishness.

  "Your Majesty, Shu Weichen is really scared. Not to mention anything else, looking at how many saints have been produced in the past hundred years, but no one has ever thought of the idea of fighting the river mud, this river mud is laborious to mine and seems to be impractical, I heard that this time the prince ordered someone to dive to the bottom of the river for the river mud that was fished up for the Su girl. It seems too weird to be so excited. ”

  Liu Ce said this, and for some reason Gu Zhao heard a slight sour taste of jealousy, but thinking that he had heard someone talk about this more than once, Gu Zhao was really a little curious.

  Although he knew that Liu Ce had colored glasses for Su Mian and Gu Zhixing, if he only asked him now, even if he could give an answer, after all, it was one-sided and not objective at all, but Gu Zhao couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

  "The prime minister is talking about mining river mud, have you seen with your own eyes, is it really the river mud that no one will pay attention to in Naping (rì)? What is the value of river mud that makes them so painstakingly mined? ”

  Gu Zhao felt strange, but when he thought of Su Mian's unbridled imagination, he felt even more curious, and he didn't feel that Su Mian was deliberately wasting resources, wasting manpower, and even destroying the balance of nature.

  But the information that Liu Ce received here was that Gu Zhao was finally willing to believe his words, and he was finally willing to ask carefully, and he immediately nodded excitedly, and the description became more and more exaggerated.

  "That's nature! Because Weichen has a little holiday with them, if Weichen is there in person, it will inevitably make the prince unhappy and add unnecessary trouble. So in order to find out what they were doing, Weichen sent people to see it more than once. ”

  Liu Ce said this, originally to make Gu Zhao trust, but after Gu Zhao heard it, he raised his head and looked at him suspiciously, Tianjiasheng (xìng) was suspicious, and Liu Ce also knew, so he suddenly added a few more words of explanation in panic.

  "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong! Wechen really sent someone to find out the truth, and naturally he wouldn't do anything to sabotage it. Even if they knew that what they were doing now was unreasonable and even guilty, Wei Chen naturally did not dare to act rashly before receiving the emperor's order. ”

  Seeing that Liu Ce was still a little discerning this time, although Gu Zhao was annoyed by him, he didn't pursue it too much, just nodded vaguely. After all, Gu Zhao also knew about Su Mian's previous festival with Liu Ce and others.

  It's just that considering that Liu Ce has been an official in the court for many years and has many henchmen, if he is uprooted now, it will definitely cause the court to move (dàng) uneasy. Therefore, Gu Zhao can only open one eye and close one eye first, of course, this is also the way of being a king taught by the emperor's uncle.

  Thinking of this, Gu Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he felt that the imperial uncle was finally a little closer to him, although he was still a little frightened by the imperial uncle in his heart, and the imperial uncle was afraid that he still regarded himself as a child, but now that this contradiction came out, the imperial uncle was really angry and didn't want to see him, Gu Zhao naturally felt cold.

  Although he didn't know what the emperor had in mind, he suddenly became silent and stared at the half-corrected recital in front of him, but Liu Ce saw that the emperor did not reprimand him, and even counted his interest in asking questions again and again, so he planned to take advantage of the iron and continue to say something unfavorable to Gu Zhixing and Su Mian.

  "The emperor Mo said that there are still many matters waiting for the prince to deal with in the entire Xisheng, and the most important thing in front of him is that the matter of suppressing bandits that Weichen heard about before has not yet been raised, how can the prince now ignore the stall and accompany Miss Su to mess around?"

  Liu Ce was too clever this time, as soon as he said this, Gu Zhao immediately raised his head, staring at the other party vigilantly, staring at that Liu Cequan (shēn) uncomfortable, only to know that he had attracted the emperor's suspicion again, and he really accidentally said the wrong thing, and he regretted it very much in his heart.

  "How did the prime minister find out about the bandits? If I remember correctly, I have never spoken in public about the suppression of bandits in the court. I have already ordered these things (qíng), and the matter of reducing and suppressing Niujiashan is also the responsibility of the emperor's uncle, so naturally you (cāo) don't need to work, let alone deliberately inquire! ”

  Although Gu Zhao's words didn't sound very serious, he was already warning Liu Ce, but Liu Ce saw that Gu Zhao didn't lose his temper now, but he was repeatedly tempting, after all, the matter of suppressing bandits (qíng) can be big or small, and he has heard a lot of things that are not good for Gu Zhixing, so how can he be willing to give up the opportunity easily?

  For example, the reason why Gu Zhixing didn't wait to see Gu Zhao this time, and even refused to bow to the emperor regardless of the rumors about him from the outside world, was because the emperor intended to let Su Mian participate in the suppression of bandits.

  This sounds like Su Mian should do, although she is the princess of the Northern Yuan, but now that she lives in Xisheng, she naturally has to do things for Xisheng, he can not listen to Xisheng**'s words, but he can't be so unruly.

  So now Liu Ce didn't accept it when he saw it, but showed a worried look, and his tone was full of consideration for Gu Zhao.

  "Your Majesty, with all due respect, this time it was indeed the prince who did something wrong. In the matter of suppressing bandits, if Miss Su has the ability to help, she should naturally serve the country, but because he is the prince's confidant, the prince is reluctant. In this way, doesn't it prove that between the emperor and Miss Su, the prince chose Miss Su without hesitation? ”

  It sounds weird, but it's also too heart-wrenching. After hearing this, Gu Zhaocai angrily threw the song fold in Liu Ce's face. Liu Ce suddenly trembled and pretended to be frightened and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, but he knew that the effect of his words had been achieved.

  "The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins! Weichen should be damned, it's Weichen who is too talkative, but Weichen is dedicated to the country and wants to share the emperor's worries, if the emperor can trust Weichen, what Miss Su is unwilling to do (qíng), Weichen is willing to help! ”

  Before Gu Zhao could curse a few more words, he heard Liu Ce's loyalty like this, and he could only clench his fists angrily and suppress the anger. I don't know if Liu Cejin (rì) is a little sincere or a little fake, but as long as he says so, Gu Zhixing naturally can't scold him with a scolding face.

  "Enough! If there is a real need for the suppression of bandits, I will naturally tell you personally. But other than that, I don't want to hear other inconsequential people talk about this anymore, and I can't talk about Uncle Huang maliciously behind my back, if I hear these words again, the Prime Minister should know how I will punish you, right? ”

  In fact, Liu Ce didn't know, and he didn't want to know, and now he has to pretend not to know. He raised his face in a panic, his face was full of grievances and unwillingness, Gu Zhao was really upset when he saw this, and was thinking about finding a reason to drive him away, when he heard Liu Ce tentatively say a few words at the end.
