"It's a decision, so I don't have to ask anything." Gu Jianglin smiled faintly, "Then I have another question, after you go back, ask the emperor, if the identities of me and the sixth brother are swapped today, will he still defend me like this?" ”

"There is no answer to this question." The big chamberlain said.

"Why? Just if. Gu Jianglin sighed and said.

"Because the emperor knows your character and is unwilling to kill each other, at least he will not do this, and he also knows that even if you are in the position of the sixth prince, you will not do this, so there is no answer to this question." The big chamberlain said.

"Okay, then let me ask another question, is this your opinion or the emperor's mind?" Gu Jianglin asked again.

"Isn't this old slave opening his mouth just to speak for the emperor? Why did the five princes have to think about it so much. The big chamberlain smiled, "This time the methods of the six princes are inevitably too shallow, so the emperor is a little suspicious of the person next to you." ”

"You said Qi Lichen?" Gu Jianglin got a positive answer, so he simply stopped asking.

The big chamberlain nodded, "The emperor is very interested in him and sent someone to check his identity." ”

Gu Jianglin frowned, originally thought that if he gave the treasure, the prime minister would not use the treasure to implicate Qi Lichen, but he never expected that he would plant a beam in the emperor's heart.

"He's just an ordinary jinshi." Gu Jianglin replied.

"The slave also said so, but the emperor didn't believe it, and personally sent someone to investigate, by the way, that Lord Zhou Fangzhou, the emperor has already noticed that he lied for you, so the emperor doesn't trust him very much now, and he didn't even hand over this matter to him." Ouchi sighed.

The emperor can tolerate trickery, but he will never tolerate naked deception.

Especially Zhou Fang, who is the guard of the capital, is directly related to the safety of the emperor, he can't allow Zhou Fang to have two hearts, even if it is for others to lie.

"What's the matter? Is it a matter of going back to the capital? Gu Jianglin frowned, "I should have told Zhou Fang earlier, and I wouldn't have said it outside, Lord Zhou didn't even have time to react, so he had to act for me in front of the emperor, no wonder the emperor would react." ”

"I don't blame you, but think about Qi Gongzi." The big chamberlain said.

"Qi Gongzi is a Jinshi." Gu Jianglin said.

"The emperor only suspected it when he mentioned the treasure, and you said that he found the treasure alone, how could the emperor not be suspicious." The big chamberlain said: "How can a small weak scholar have such great courage, the treasures of the previous dynasty are dangerous after all, and there are so many people on the rivers and lakes who covet them, if it is just an ordinary jinshi, how can he take care of the surroundings?" ”

"Forget it." Gu Jianglin shook his head, "The emperor may not be able to find out something. The big chamberlain smiled and glanced at the sun outside, "Yo, it's all this hour, if you don't go back, the emperor will ask me if I am afraid that I will not be able to answer, so I will not stay more, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Gu Jianglin sighed.

It's really unsettled, and there is another turmoil. 678

Ascending to the throne of the crown prince is only the first step, and even if he ascends to the throne in history, he may be dragged down, so he must be careful in everything and walk on thin ice.

Qi Lichen took a pot of good wine, which is the best peach blossom brew, not intoxicating to drink, and there is a fragrance of peach blossoms.

"Invite me to drink and get ready." Gu Jianglin screamed and poured nothing, picked up a cup and poured himself a cup, which was mellow and sweet after drinking.

"I'm here to ask for my resignation, I think it's almost enough to do this, there's no need to stay in the capital anymore, I still have to take care of the land given to me by His Royal Highness the Prince, and next year it will be the season of farming." Qi Lichen smiled and said: "Besides, in less than a month, it is the autumn harvest season, I want to go back to see how the fields are doing, Ah Yun is not in good health, I don't want her to work." ”

"Isn't there time for this?" Gu Jianglin patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to be in a hurry. ”

"Anyway, I have to go back sooner or later, and I can see Ayun early if I go back early." Qi Lichen didn't care about his thoughts at the moment, how dangerous it was to be exposed in front of others, he just thought that so many difficulties had been overcome, no matter what, he would let Xi Muyun be by his side, and he would never face a threat.

Gu Jianglin nodded, "You and Miss Xi are really in love, I proposed to the two of you in front of the emperor before, but I didn't expect the emperor to agree." ”

"My marriage with Ayun doesn't need the emperor's blessing, but now the eight characters haven't been skimmed, I hurt her some time ago, and he broke off the marriage contract with me, so there is a long way to go." Qi Lichen sighed.

Gu Jianglin patted him on the shoulder, "I won't stop you if you want to go back, it's just that the emperor gives you a marriage, and I can also take this opportunity to find an official position for you in the court, but this time I don't know why, the emperor has already set his eyes on you, and thinks that you have a problem and needs to send someone to investigate." ”

When Qi Lichen heard this, his hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

Although many years have passed since that incident, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no clues left in the world, and if it is found to be a person from the previous dynasty, I am afraid that he will not be able to live.

Gu Jianglin saw that he was stunned for a moment, immediately waved his hand, shook it in front of his eyes, and saw that he was relieved, so he asked: "Qingyu Pavilion is not a big deal, I haven't done anything hurtful, it is very different from other Jianghu organizations, in fact, it is nothing, I just think it is better for you to stay in the capital, stay by my side, assist me, how difficult it is to go up step by step, I am afraid that the knife has also passed, and the sea of fire has also passed." ”

Qi Lichen was a little confused for a while, "Although it is a Jianghu organization and there is no notoriety, but few people in the rivers and lakes have taken the initiative to approach the court officials over the years, on the one hand, the rivers and lakes are not tolerated, and on the other hand, they feel that the Jianghu organization is not in the flow compared with the imperial court, so the two parties are on guard against each other, if the emperor knows that I am a Jianghu person or the pavilion master of Qingyu Pavilion, I am afraid that I have other plans for coming to you." ”

"Isn't it?" Gu Jianglin joked with a serious face: "I know that you used to have great ambitions, but you just had no way to take revenge, even if you were a Jinshi, it was because you had no connections in the imperial court, so you were pressed everywhere, but I didn't expect that now you don't want to do this, and I don't know what else I can give you." ”

"You've given enough, and that piece of land is the best proof of that." Qi Lichen smiled and shook his head.

"Don't be in a hurry." Gu Jianglin said and sighed, "Today is just the reading of the holy decree, and there will be a lot of heavy red tape later, every step I take, I hope to have you, a friend who has come all the way, by my side." ”

"This ......" Qi Lichen hesitated slightly, he was already numb to that position, he just wanted to go home early and see Xi Muyun early.

"Besides, at this time, the Prime Minister is still holding back his moves." Gu Jianglin glanced at him mysteriously, "I heard that the poisoning master has not been caught, that poisoning master has vowed to kill you, rather than you go back and stay by Xi Muyun's side, it is very likely to pose a threat to him, it is better to stay here, there are heavy guards here, and he will definitely not be allowed to succeed."

"If this person doesn't catch it, it's always a big problem." Qi Lichen sighed deeply and said.
