Chapter 174: Struggle for power

As in the past, the courtiers went up to the main hall, and the people in the hall actively shouted and made noise, although there were white silk hanging outside, but the courtiers didn't seem to care, and they didn't hide it at all.

"I said General Shen, how can you, a military general, also participate in our civil affairs, haven't you always hated us civilian officials the most?"

"You civil officials are officials, and our generals can't go to court yet? Why did the Huns attack and still want us to defend the city, why don't you fight? Hmph, that's ....... ”

Quarrels like this in the court kept surging, wave after wave of fighting, but the people of the capital did not panic because of this, for them, no matter who the emperor did, it would never be their turn, why not work hard because of these distant things, let their stomachs be full?

The ordinary people did not feel the turmoil in the court, but those high-ranking officials and nobles felt it one after another, and they only felt that they were living in dire straits every day, and they didn't know when some blatant killers began to pour out in the capital.

Mother clan, after Zhou Xun knew the current situation of the imperial court, he laughed disdainfully, he couldn't help but laugh at those courtiers for having no brains, they were afraid that everyone in the world would know that they killed the little emperor, wouldn't this make the world laugh? Besides, no matter who does this position now, that person will carry these two words on his body, traitor.

Zhou Xun didn't plan to let go of the opportunity at this time, he began to select the most suitable people to be his subordinates in the entire capital, and secretly cultivated them, in addition, he also deliberately found people from the mother clan to discuss together, wanting the mother clan to come up with enough silver taels to support him.

Many people agreed after hearing his plan, and even the patriarch who agreed with Gu Muzhi the most in the past said something now that he was in charge, but said that he was very relieved to let Zhou Xun be the master of the house.

Gu Muzhi didn't care about everything that happened in front of her, and what made her anxious now was how to find the secret guard arranged by Qin Boyong by her side and spread all of this out.

Gu Muzhi was very helpless now, and could only watch Zhou Xun gradually grow his power, and soon had a reputation of his own in the capital.

Zhou Xun took the silver taels of his mother's clan and bribed some courtiers in the court, watching everything develop in the desired direction, and the smiles on his face became more and more.

On the other side, Gu Muzhi is now constantly looking for opportunities to go out, but he is strictly watched by Zhou Xun, and there is no way.

What Gu Muzhi didn't know was that Qin Boyong had no time to rest for a long time, and the whole person was in an upside-down state, so he didn't know that the secret guards around Gu Muzhi had been cleaned up by Zhou Xun.

Since the death of the little emperor, all kinds of complex and vertical forces have begun to collide with each other in the capital. In order to protect the capital and the safety of the people, Qin Boyong has more and more documents on his desk recently.

The current Qin Boyong can't wait to break one person into two people, he not only has to deal with government affairs, but also has to go to various places to check, and rectify some moths, and he didn't think about contacting Gu Muzhi at all.

Although Zhou Xun was busy, he still went to visit Gu Muzhi from time to time, deliberately disgusting Gu Muzhi. On this day, he deliberately took time out of his room, went to Gu Muzhi's room early, and knocked on the door.

I could only hear Gu Muzhi in the room impatiently holding the vase and slamming it on the door, and after a while, Zhou Xuncai said slowly: "Ah Zhi, it's me, why haven't you gotten up yet?" ”

At this time, Gu Muzhi completely came to his senses, and suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity, so he quickly wiped his face with his hand to sober himself up, and said in a slightly gentle voice: "Ah, Zhou Xun? I didn't know you were coming, so why don't you wait somewhere else, and I'll look for you later. ”

Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Ah Zhi, it's not early, you pack up, the weather is good today, I want to take you out today." ”

"Where are you going?"

Gu Muzhi was a little puzzled, Zhou Xun is often quiet, even if he has emotions, he uses a gentle tone, he actually wants to take her out today, it is not like Zhou Xun's style, she doesn't believe that Zhou Xun, a fox, will have such a good heart.

Zhou Xun smiled softly, his voice was a little hearty, and he made a happy expression on his face, which seemed to really be useful to many people, but Gu Muzhi knew how dark this man was in his heart, and she would not be confused at all.

So Gu Muzhi pretended to be very affectionate and said to Zhou Xun with a smile: "Zhou Xun, what are you doing when you go out today?" If there's nothing special, then I'll go back to sleep, you see my injuries aren't healed yet, I don't want to go out. ”

"Ah Zhi, have you forgotten, today is the day of tomb sweeping, I want to take you to see your parents, I haven't seen you for a long time, I guess Ah Zhi has missed it very much."

Gu Muzhi was suddenly stunned for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, but he still pretended to be excited, nodded, and immediately closed the door outside the house, Zhou Xun said: "Zhou Xun, you wait for me to change my clothes, and then go." ”

But Gu Muzhi, who had just closed the door, covered her mouth violently, wanting to vomit but couldn't, Xiaolan next to her hurriedly went to support Gu Muzhi, and wanted to ask her, but was covered by a hand.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little nauseous."

After a while, Gu Muzhi returned to her normal mood, got into the carriage with Zhou Xun, and rushed to her parents' cemetery all the way, at this time Gu Muzhi's mood was very complicated.

It wasn't until she really arrived at that cemetery that Gu Muzhi knew that she really didn't feel relieved in her heart, seeing the two graves clinging to each other, she felt that the world was joking with her, she immediately knelt on the ground, and tears kept dripping.

Zhou Xun next to him comforted Gu Muzhi and said, "Uncle and aunt, Ah Zhi and I have come to see you, you can rest assured, I will take good care of her in the future." ”

Gu Muzhi looked at his parents, and suddenly didn't know what to say, but just shouted softly: "Daddy!" Mother! ”

Gu Muzhi seemed to see two familiar figures, beckoned to her and turned around and disappeared, she shook her body in a trance, because Xiaolan was not a mother, so she was not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb.

After a while, Zhou Xuncai hypocritically helped Gu Muzhi up, and faced her parents' cemetery, assuring them with a happy face that he would definitely give Gu Muzhi happiness, and finally asked Gu Muzhi, do you believe me?
