Chapter 152: The Emperor's Worries
"The emperor's sentence is serious, since the emperor came to me to talk about things, why do you still want to ask for my opinion? I'm not here this time to solve problems for the emperor, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”
Ji Jiuhua naturally has this confidence, even if he doesn't have the Ji family, he believes that he can break out of the world with his personal ability, his bad luck is now, it is only because of his natural life, and now with the help of Su Manxue, he is also much better.
A person will only be so confident when he has reached the level of ability. Including Su Manxue, they all have the confidence to solve problems, so they will not be surprised in the face of major events.
"Since I asked you to do things, you don't have to be so humble. What kind of family the Ji family is like, everyone still knows more or less in their hearts. The tea in front of the emperor was changed again.
Ji Jiuhua has to admit that a talent like the emperor is really doing big things and can endure it. Ji Jiuhua must also be patient and continue to go around in circles with the emperor. It is absolutely impossible for him to be smart, but the idea of going back early tonight is probably not going to come true.
"We've all been talking all afternoon, today the imperial dining room specially made a table of exquisite dishes, it's not as good as Jiuhua, you just stay here, have dinner and then leave."
Ji Jiuhua glanced at the sky outside, the previous temptations were not just an afternoon problem, and he saw that the sky was already dark. The orange sunset has been swallowed up by the ink.
Although the stars are not yet visible, the moon is already hanging in the sky. Although it is not very obvious, it can be seen on closer inspection.
He really didn't know that the emperor could still think about dinner.
"Since the emperor has said it, then I am naturally more respectful than obedient. Over the years, there has been no shortage of wine and food, but it is the first time to dine in the palace, thanks to the emperor's love, which is also the emperor's gift to his courtiers, but if it is a dinner table, it is ...... to talk about things."
Ji Jiuhua hesitated slightly, looked around, and seemed to be very worried that the conversation between the two of them would be heard clearly by someone with a heart. After all, the matter is about Gu Qin, and he feels that the emperor is not at ease enough to let go of this matter.
"That's naturally okay, the two of us don't need to be restrained when we eat, and we don't need those little girls to come and serve, let's change places and continue to talk." The emperor was naturally a lot more relaxed, and he didn't want to continue talking in the study, so it was better to relax in a different place.
When the palace maid arranged everything outside, Ji Jiuhua and the emperor moved to the garden outside, and everything in the garden had been decorated, including the palace lights.
Sima, that is, the emperor of the dynasty, also ordered that the guards in the palace should guard this area to the death and not let anyone in.
"It's always a lot more reassuring to talk like this, I don't feel like I'm leaking my mouth, although it is said that the wall has ears, but I have sent someone to clear this area, and the sound of our speech is not loud, it is impossible to spread so far away."
At this time, the teacup in the emperor's hand has been replaced by a wine glass, the aroma of this elixir jade dew is no worse than the charm of tea, but Ji Jiuhua smelled the taste of this wine as soon as he took a handful, which was the best osmanthus brew from their Ji family's shop.
This osmanthus brew can't produce 20 bottles a year, mainly because it is of extremely high quality and is a rare wine. However, it is said that there are not 20 bottles, but the Ji family will get two bottles every year and put them in their own house.
"Well, now let's get down to business, and I'm sure you're as smart as you, and you know what I'm calling you for today.
It would be inappropriate for you to pretend to be stupid in front of me now, especially since I like to deal with smart people, not fools who don't know anything. ”
As soon as Ji Jiuhua looked at the dishes on the table, he knew that today was not what was so-called at all, and he had carefully prepared the dishes, but he had the intention of intoxicating him, hoping that Ji Jiuhua could tell the truth.
"I know that what the emperor wants to say is probably related to Gu Qingyou, but he is the prince of Pingyang Palace. It is normal for the emperor to have doubts about the Pingyang Palace, but recently, the prince seems to really have an unusual relationship with the Pingyang Palace, although it is said that the relationship between family and family is in it.
It is impossible for the blood relationship between them to be completely severed because of such a small matter, but it is really not optimistic now, but I don't know what they fell out about. ”
Although Ji Jiuhua knew what they were talking about, seeing is believing, hearing is false, he originally heard it from other people's mouths, and he couldn't just say it.
In case it is not himself who is embarrassed when it does not conform to the facts, not to mention that this is not a casual talk, this is in front of the emperor, and when the emperor casually comes to the crime of bullying the king, how embarrassing it should be.
"It doesn't really matter how they fell out, you should also know that Pingyang Wangfu is now a big business. Even compared to our royal family, it is not far behind.
And he does have the actual military power in his hands, and I don't dare to take it back, in fact, I also have my own considerations, if I let him take it back now, if he is angry and embarrassed, it is not impossible to directly rebel. ”
It is this that the emperor is worried about, when the old Qin Pavilion recommended Ji Jiuhua to take office, he also had this consideration.
The Ji family's property was already there, and if Ji Jiuhua had more or less real power in his hands, he could also compete with the Pingyang Palace.
Although his power is not deep-rooted, but he can still win over some officials and stand with him, not to mention, there are still people who are loyal to the royal family are finally willing to be loyal to the emperor.
All this is because with the Pingyang Mansion behind him, he is afraid that he will do something bad, and he will seize the handle and want to oust him, which is also what he is most worried about.
And the Pingyang Royal Mansion does hold real power in his hands, which is also the point he is most worried about, if the Ping'an Royal Mansion wants to rebel, it is equivalent to saying that their national strength must be at least half divided, and he doesn't know if the Pingyang Royal Mansion has any private experts.
"The emperor doesn't need to worry too much, even if the Pingyang Royal Mansion has this idea, with the emperor's achievements over the years, everyone will definitely follow the emperor. And our Ji family is also very willing to serve the royal family, no matter what the prince is, he only recognizes the emperor's authentic bloodline. ”
