Chapter 117: Dragon's Heart
Could it be that Ying Heng really liked this woman, so he ignored those gossips?
The emperor was thinking about it here, but Gu Ziqing blessed himself slightly and said: "Courtier Gu Ziqing see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
"Look up. ”
The emperor's voice sounded from the top of his head, Gu Ziqing raised his head obediently, and the emperor looked at the appearance of the woman in front of him and nodded slightly.
"As soon as I entered Jiangnan, I heard about the deeds of you and the imperial grandson, which is really breathtaking!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and the two parties, Gu Ziqing and Ying Heng, were even more shocked, and their nervous palms were sweating.
They thought that the emperor summoned Gu Ziqing because of this matter, but they didn't expect that the emperor would be so direct.
Just when everyone was guessing how Gu Ziqing was going to answer, they saw her slowly speak, "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun came here, and the matter of selecting the governor of Jiangnan and rebuilding Loujia Village must be something that everyone in the Jiangnan realm praises." ”
"And the matter of the people's daughter raising donations for the reconstruction of Loujia Village, although it is also famous, but it is far inferior to His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun, but although that matter is insignificant, it is also a blessing for the emperor to hear about it. ”
Gu Ziqing's gentle and gentle voice slowly sounded in the hall, making everyone who heard it stunned.
After a while, everyone reacted, Gu Ziqing only had a few words, and he had secretly changed the concept of the whole thing in the emperor's words.
Hearing her words, the emperor couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him would be so smart and dissolve her original words of guilt so skillfully.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but cast an appreciative look at Gu Ziqing, and then laughed.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats, I don't know what the emperor's smile is for?
Gu Ziqing's words made the dragon's heart happy, or made the emperor angry.
Just when everyone was confused, the emperor suddenly spoke, "Gu Ziqing has made meritorious contributions to Loujia Village in organizing fundraising, and he will be rewarded." ”
Just this sentence, everyone in the palace was shocked, it seems that Gu Ziqing is a blessing in disguise, which makes the emperor's dragon heart happy.
Listening to the emperor's words, Gu Ziqing and Ying Heng also breathed a long sigh of relief, and the two subconsciously glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of joy for the rest of their lives.
"Qingqing, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and thank you!"
Hearing his father's reminder, Gu Ziqing reacted, and then hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, "Courtiers Gu Ziqing thanked Your Majesty." ”
"Get up!"
The emperor waved his hand, and Gu Rongzhan and Gu Ziqing immediately got up and retreated.
Returning to his seat, Gu Ziqing slowly stretched out his hands, his palms were lightly soaked in a layer of fine sweat, and his whole body trembled.
In the last life, although the emperor also came to Jiangnan, Gu Ziqing had never seen him, and now it can be regarded as the first time.
In front of the Ninety-Five, his life is really like a mustard, and if he is not careful, he will end up with a head moving.
Today's incident can be regarded as the rest of her life after the catastrophe, fortunately, her head changed relatively quickly just now, otherwise if she really angered the emperor, it is estimated that not only will she have no good fruit to eat, but I am afraid that it will affect the entire Gu family, and even Ying Heng.
Thinking of Ying Heng, Gu Ziqing couldn't help but raise his head and glanced in the direction where he was, only to find that the other party was also looking at him with a worried face.
Presumably at that moment just now, Ying Heng should have raised his heart to his throat, and he was extremely scared!
Thinking like this, Gu Ziqing returned an extremely reassuring smile to Ying Heng, who also smiled at her, then turned his head away and looked away.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid. Gu Rongzhan patted his daughter's hand and comforted.
When Gu Ziqing was stunned, he suddenly heard his father's comfort, so he nodded unusually well-behaved, signaling him not to worry about himself.
After Gu Ziqing and the others retreated, the singing and dancing in the hall rang out, and for a while, the solemn atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by everyone's staggering.
After a while, after the dance, the dancing girls and singers all withdrew, and the emperor's majestic voice sounded again.
"During this period of time, there have been many droughts in the south, and the people have not harvested, although the imperial court has taken out money and grain for disaster relief, but there are still a large number of victims who have not been resettled, and the treasury has become empty because of this famine, I am very sad!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, and he was sad there.
And everyone in the hall, although they didn't know why the emperor suddenly said this, but when they saw the emperor's sad expression, they also bowed their heads and lamented together.
When the emperor is happy, he must laugh with him, and when the emperor is unhappy, he must also be sad with him.
Gu Ziqing on the side, looking at the appearance of everyone in the hall, couldn't help but hook a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, it seems that the reason why the emperor came to Jiangnan this time should be here.
In the area south of the south of the Yangtze River, there was no harvest after years of drought, and the road was full of starvation, and the inaction of local officials caused the disaster to become more and more serious, and finally it was really impossible to hide it, which let the imperial court know.
Therefore, this time he went to the south for disaster relief, and the emperor personally brought the four princes to come, in order to clean up the local officials at the same time as the disaster relief, so as to achieve a situation of showing the emperor's grace, and by the way, use this matter to deter other local officials.
And now, on the way back to the court, the emperor stayed in Jiangnan, and at this banquet, he mentioned the disaster relief in the south, and its purpose is self-evident.
The emperor is afraid that he has taken a fancy to the wealth of Jiangnan and the financial resources of the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, and wants to use this to help the southern part of the country for disaster relief and expand the treasury.
Originally, Gu Ziqing was still wondering, why did the emperor invite so many businessmen to participate in such an important banquet?
Now she understands that the emperor is really prepared!
While she was pondering, the four princes on the side stood up, arched their hands to the emperor, and then continued, "Father, don't worry about this, the sons and daughters see that Jiangnan is rich, and the businessmen are also very patriotic. ”
"I believe that at this time, the country is in trouble, and they can't bear to stand by and ignore it!"
As soon as everyone heard the words of the four princes, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all understood the purpose of the emperor and the four princes singing and harmonizing.
