09 Gu Yan took leave
Yes, I only hope that Mrs. can be like this in the future, the life with Xiangye is safe and secure, and they are subordinates, and they are very happy to see such a situation, where do you care about the rest.
Luo Xiao woke up once in the middle of the night, and saw Gu Yan resting on the couch, wearing only single clothes, and a book in his hand that had opened a few pages and not finished reading, although there was a charcoal stove in the house, it was still a little cool inside, and it was even colder at night, Luo Xiao saw that there was no one around for a long time, so he got up, took the cloak on the side and put it on, and when he walked over, he endured the discomfort in his throat, did not wake up the person, lifted the quilt placed in the corner, and gently covered the person, and then carefully engraved the person's appearance in his eyes, looked at it for a while, and then retracted his gaze, I rubbed my cold hands and wanted to walk back and continue to lie down.
Gu Yan had already woken up when Luo Xiao came over to fold the quilt, and felt Luo Xiao staring at him, the slight breath swept to his face again and again, and he was still thinking about what the other party wanted to do, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't wait, and finally heard Luo Xiao's chuckle, and turned around and walked back.
Gu Yan picked up Luo Xiao and looked at the little man with a surprised face.
"Why did you wake up?"
"If you don't wake up, you won't be able to see you walking back and forth in your shoes when you're sick in the cold, so the fever has subsided, but don't be too careless, if you're sick again, your father-in-law will really kill your husband directly."
"How can it be so exaggerated, let me go."
Gu Yan tightly encircled the person in his arms and did not let her struggle down, of course, with Luo Xiao's current condition, it is unlikely that he will be able to break free of him, and send the person back to the bed directly, meticulously tucking the quilt, "You have a good rest, don't go to ask for peace tomorrow, wait until you are well, and discuss the rest with you tomorrow." β
As soon as Luo Xiao lay down, drowsiness began to erode Luo Xiao's consciousness in an instant, and he didn't listen to it all in a daze, he opened his mouth and muttered, Gu Yanhuan couldn't hear the reason no matter how he was concentrating, and when he saw that the person was asleep, he turned around and walked to the front of the case.
"Xiangye." Seeing that the hour was not early, he knocked at the door.
"Go freshen up and get ready." Gu Yan put down the pen in his hand and sorted out the paper on the table, "Tell me to go down, Madame will not see guests during her illness." β
"Yes."
Gu Yan blew out a few candles, the light in the room became dimmer, looked at the people who were still asleep, and asked Liuzhu and them to take care of it carefully, before going out to prepare for the court.
Under the service of Lingjian, Gu Yan changed into court clothes and took all the excerpts to be played today.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting outside to announce the summons of the court, and the officials who were originally waiting quietly saw Gu Yan, and many of them rushed to his side, chattering about what happened today.
Gu Yan just pursed his lips and listened, not giving anyone any thoughts about him, but he didn't expect this corruption case to be so serious, there have been no less than five homicides, and now the people of Guizhou are crying out, and the people's anger and resentment are becoming more and more intense, and even rebellion arises, which is not a good sign.
The palace door was opened, and those officials who were still talking about it were suddenly quiet, and stood according to their positions, even if they were anxious in their hearts, they could only report after meeting His Majesty, and if there was any dispute, they could only talk about it at that time.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhong Aiqing, what is the important thing today?" His Majesty moved his gaze to Gu Yan: "General Luo's beloved daughter's condition has been relieved now?" β
"Thanks to the care of the saints, the lowly inner is now slightly better." Gu Yan knew that His Majesty's words were just to make his mind settled, a prime minister, a general, his heart was towards him until he died, then this result was the best result, and his heir, who wants to fight, how to fight, so what, just know that these two people are loyal to the king.
"That's very good, but is there anything else that the secretary has to do?"
"Your Majesty, there have been more than five cases of corruption among officials in Guizhou, and there are even many local officials involved, and now there have been many suppressions, countless casualties among the people, and it is difficult for innocent people to reach the heavens, and they have been strangled on the way, and some people have even rioted many times." The servant of the Ministry of Officials played the report, his face was so grim, and every sentence was shocking: "Please Your Majesty, immediately send officials to investigate, and return peace to the people." β
"Is there any evidence?" The third prince asked first.
"There is some fur, but the fur is still not enough to condemn the crime, but ......"
"Since it's just a fur, is there a murderous point there?"
"Third Prince, what do you mean by that? The bones of the people are now piled up in the wilderness, and the blood of the people in Guizhou is played, how many people have been piled up before they were delivered to Chang'an and handed over to the government, is this not enough to file a case for review? The servants of the ministry were shocked, they didn't care about etiquette, and their indignation was as if they had suffered a crime, and they couldn't even suppress their anger, and the words were like crying blood.
"Third brother, what are you in a hurry? The officials are now just asking for a thorough investigation, but they don't know what the result is, so they are anxious to quell this civil unrest. The eldest prince said sarcastically, it was very comfortable to watch him jump off the wall in a hurry, after all, there are many people involved in this matter now, of course, who will be implicated in the end, that is the latest result of the eldest prince's view.
"What does the eldest brother mean, could it be that I think that this corruption was arranged by me?"
"Who knows?"
The two of them were noisy in the main hall, Gu Yan didn't speak, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu couldn't even interject, he stomped his feet over there in a hurry, and the six princes actually watched the two of them quietly and silently.
"Enough, what kind of system is it like this!" His Majesty was upset when he heard this, and he got up, drank the two people who were still arguing below, and motioned to the servant of the ministry, "You go on." β
"Now that the people are dead and wounded, and even want to raise troops to rebel, this is no longer a trivial matter, and please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to investigate this case!"
"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?" His Majesty pondered for a long time, and finally set his eyes on Gu Yan and sought advice.
"This matter has to be considered in the long run, and then the criminal department can start to investigate."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The servant of the ministry received permission, thanked the people, and returned to the queue.
When he went down to the court, Gu Yan was summoned to the imperial study to discuss, his face was grim, there was no trace of relaxation, he kept pursing his lips and drooping his eyes, looking thoughtful, before he entered the imperial study, he heard the voice of the six princes outside, Gu Yan knew that this matter must not be simple.
Sure enough, when he entered the room, he was even sent back, and there were no two princes who had been arguing here, Gu Yan bowed his hand and bent down to meet these two.
"What is Gu Qing's opinion on this matter?"
Once the East Window incident happened, it was not a good thing for anyone, and now it has caused all kinds of public anger, but it can cause public anger more to find a way to appease, it can be seen that this matter can not be appeased completely, that can not be appeased, and generally choose to suppress, mainly to deter the people, but the people have to come to Chang'an one by one, that is, there is no way to report, and generally, these are fruitless, there must be a more unknown reason behind it, and this reasonβ¦β¦β
"I'm afraid it's going to be more involved!"
After His Majesty listened to Gu Yan's conclusion, every sentence was as he thought in his heart, and every sentence pierced into his heart, he slapped the book case several times, and the fragrant tea in the North Station was splashed and spilled on the table, and the six princes kept their heads down, still not saying a word in the current dynasty, as if they were thinking about something.
"According to Aiqing's view, how to solve this matter."
"The minister asked for a leave of absence for two months, and personally went to Guizhou to investigate and make a secret visit." Gu Yan arched his hand and said a word of request, and this sentence was exactly in line with the thoughts of this saint.
Gu Yan froze there, waiting for the person above to speak, but the person only hesitated for a moment, and said to the sixth prince: "Since Prince Fengqing was crowned, he has not done anything great, this time he sent you to patrol, are you willing?" β
"This book is very shocking, and the ministers are willing to make a modest contribution to share the worries of their father and the people."
"In that case, I hope you can bring me a good result." The man looked at Gu Yan again, "General Luo's beloved daughter is seriously ill now, and Gu Qing is specially allowed to take a two-month vacation, during which everything will be handled by the secretary of the ministry, how about it?" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
His Majesty shook his hand directly, then took a sip of the cold tea, and said, "Okay, you guys go down first." β
"The minister retired."
"The retainers retired."
The two of them exited the imperial study in an orderly manner and walked out of the palace one after the other.
"I'll have to take more care of the prime minister in the future."
"Your Highness's words are serious, and it is the minister's responsibility to share your majesty's worries."
Gu Yan's answer was still decent, not more than half a point, Zhao Fengqing pursed his lips, and looked at the person in front of him with a vague expression, but he quickly ignored everything else, and said again:
"For the sake of the king's worries, it is really comfortable for the prime minister to speak, since this is the case, in the past few months, you have to take care of Mrs. Ling, don't let Mrs. Ling get sick......" Zhao Fengqing lowered his head and whispered in Gu Yan's ear, "I wonder if the girl who was raised in the village can make Mrs. Ling recover?" β
"Your Royal Highness said that it was funny, where did so many girls come from, they were all Weichen's, they provoked so many peach blossoms, and they made Mrs. angry, but I didn't expect that the six princes were busy with everything on weekdays, and they even thought of Weichen's if, it really made you laugh." Gu Yanpi didn't smile, and he didn't care what the person in front of him meant, pretending that he didn't understand anything.
It's a good pretending to be stupid, this person is really difficult to accept as his command, since this is the case, now he can only start from Luo Xuanming, I just don't know if Luo Xiao will be like this, if so, then these two people ......
Gu Yan didn't know what kind of wolf ambition the person in front of him was, and now there are not many people who can protect themselves in the officialdom, so he can only hope that he can always be the same, and he will not harm others, and everything else is not a big deal.
