In the Prime Minister's Mansion, a middle-aged man sat on a mahogany chair in the center of the hall, and slowly unfolded the note in his hand, "Everything is as usual in Ruiling Palace", on the note, such a line of small words came into view.

"The emperor's move this time is really a bit confusing, marrying He Hong's daughter to Bei Mingchen, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?" This middle-aged man is none other than Xi Chu as a powerful minister and prime minister Gu Shichong.

Slowly closing the note in his hand, Gu Shichong turned to the woman in blue who was standing aside, covered with a light veil, and asked, "What is the situation in the palace recently, and has the emperor done anything abnormal?" ”

"The emperor is just going to the court every day, and then reviewing the chapters, and has been living step by step, and he has not found anything abnormal!"

The woman struggled to remember what had happened recently, but she didn't notice anything wrong.

"What do you think about the emperor's marriage?"

"Maybe the emperor wants to win over Bei Yingchen, hoping that he can have the same heart with himself?" The woman thought for a moment and analyzed.

"Judging from this appearance, this matter doesn't seem to be so simple, Bei Yingchen's heart is uncertain, there are countless beauties in the house, a woman, if you want him to change his ways, I'm afraid it's impossible!"

"Perhaps, the little emperor has never been as gentle as he appears, for so long, could it be that the original appearance has always mislooked at him?" As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed in Gu Shichong's deep eyes.

"The matter of giving marriage is indeed incredible, but I heard that there seems to be some private affairs between the emperor and He Muwan, and it is difficult to say that there may be some vague emotional entanglements between them!"

"The emperor is young after all, and he can't compare to his father-in-law's calm and wise, not to mention that there is a daughter who always helps his father-in-law keep an eye on him, so his father-in-law doesn't have to worry!" Seeing this, the woman quickly took over the conversation and said with relief.

"I hope it's because I've thought too much!" Sighing softly, Gu Shichong changed the tone and asked, "By the way, how has the emperor treated you recently?" ”

"It's good, since I married into the palace, the emperor has always cared about me, and often spends the night there with me!" The woman responded truthfully.

"That's good!" Gu Shichong breathed a sigh of relief and said, in this way, Bei Mingyan should not have discovered who was the eyeliner he placed next to his pillow.

"In the past few days, pay more attention to the emperor's actions, and if there is any situation, immediately find a way to tell the prime minister!" After thinking about it, Gu Shichong added another command.

"Yes, don't worry, father-in-law!" The masked woman in blue readily agreed.

"It's been a while since you've been out, so go back quickly, lest anyone find out, be careful!"

"Hmm!" Nodding at Gu Shichong, the woman turned to leave.

The rivers and mountains of Western Chu were laid by the ancestors of the Northern Ming Dynasty in the chaos of a soldier and a horse, without any foundation, and opened up a generation of dynasties in the troubled times, relying on the courage of the soldiers.

However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation in the world gradually stabilized, and the problem of too much decentralization of power appeared within the Western Chu Dynasty.

The power of the ministers, for hundreds of years, has been a major problem that plagued the emperors of the Western Chu dynasties, Emperor Xuan Bei Shenhai made great efforts to centralize power, he reigned for more than 30 years, has had obvious results.

However, some families have big roots and deep roots, and it is really not easy to uproot them, and the Gu family is a typical example.

At the beginning of the founding of Western Chu, the Gu family was originally a martial arts family, and later the world was peaceful, and the descendants of the Gu family gradually embarked on the path of literati, until Emperor Xuan Beixiahai, every emperor of Western Chu, the wife was the daughter of the Gu family.

The queen's son is the son-in-law, and with the Gu family as the backing, it is logical that he became the heir to the throne, the first emperor died, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the Gu family became the queen mother, so that the power of the Gu family continued from generation to generation.

When Emperor Xuan was in power, he deliberately suppressed the Gu family, but unfortunately it collapsed before it could be effective, and the rest of the mess was all handed over to the current new emperor Bei Yingyan.

In the dead of night, a figure leaped from the rooftop, carefully avoiding the soldiers patrolling the palace, and in a matter of moments, the man disappeared in the darkness.
