Next, Xin Jiuniang recounted while reminiscing, and talked about some details about Prince Qing's life.

The details of one pillar after another were connected, which made Gu Ming's suspicions more and more intensified.

It seems that this Qing Wang Ye is really a hidden old fox.

On the surface, it seems that he has taken refuge in the camp of the protector of the country, but secretly he is secretly planning his own plans, and he is really an old fritter.

But what made Gu Ming puzzled was, how did the old guy evade Xin Jiuniang's fox trick?

Under normal circumstances, a cultivated vixen like Xin Jiuniang would be too easy to make an ordinary man fall, and a look could make a man fall under her skirt and go to the soup for her.

So, is it because Prince Qing is talented, or is it that he has cultivated some kind of special secret technique, which is difficult for people to identify at all?

After thinking for a while, Gu Ming's face suddenly changed, he thought of a key question, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Jiu Niang, you haven't told the old demon of Pudu Cihang about the abnormality of Prince Qing, right?" ”

Xin Jiuniang shook her head: "Of course not!" ”

Hearing this, Gu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember, don't let the second person know about it...... But I'm wondering, will Pudu Cihang also see the secret of Prince Qing? ”

Xin Jiuniang shook her head: "I don't know about this...... I don't think he would tell me the truth even if he saw it. ”

"That's a bit of a problem......"

Gu Ming frowned, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.

"There's more trouble...... Let me tell you, during this time, that old demon has controlled another group of ministers.

And the emperor seems to trust the old demon more and more, and when he has nothing to do, he runs to Tianzhao Temple and listens to the old demon talk about the so-called Zen. ”

"No wonder the turbidity in this imperial city is getting thicker and thicker......"

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Don't worry, let me think about ......"

"How can I not be in a hurry? Have you ever tasted losing your husband? ”

Gu Ming: "I ......"

"Well, slip of the tongue...... If it was your relatives who were taken captive, would you still sit here so calmly? ”

This sentence touched Gu Ming's heart.

That's right, if Nie Xiaoqian was taken away, would he still be so calm?

Definitely not!

Xin Jiuniang's husband and son were taken captive, how could she not be in a hurry?

So, Gu Ming sighed lightly, looked at Xin Jiuniang and said, "Jiuniang, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to deal with that old demon."

In addition, I have commissioned a few friends to secretly investigate the location of the hostages.

As soon as there is news, I promise to let you know as soon as possible, and together we will find a way to rescue your family. ”

"Great...... But is the person you're entrusting reliable? ”

Xin Jiuniang asked excitedly and worriedly.

"Put 10,000 hearts, any of them will be stronger than you in cultivation."

Xin Jiuniang: "......"

"Hey, can you please stop hitting people like this? Besides, there is a problem with your understanding, and I am not asking about cultivation. ”

"You still have 10,000 hearts, and a few of them have almost life-threatening friendships with me."

"That's good...... As long as I can save my father-in-law and child, even if I am spared! ”

"Jiu Niang, don't be so pessimistic...... Let me tell you this, in fact, I am now absolutely sure that I will destroy that old demon......

What do you look at?

I'm not saying I'm going to deal with him alone......

But in order to prevent the old demon dog from jumping off the wall, we must first find the place where the hostages are being held and rescue them. ”

"Yes, yes, yes...... Hey, otherwise, we will also treat others in the same way, and arrest the old demon's disciple to ask the whereabouts of the hostages? ”

"No!" Gu Ming immediately shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because we are not sure that those disciples must know the location of the hostages, and once the wrong person is caught, it will inevitably startle the snake."

Xin Jiuniang couldn't help frowning: "Then let's just wait?" ”

"Of course not...... In short, you just need to pay close attention to Prince Qing's movements, and Pudu Cihang will leave it to me to deal with. ”

"Hey, okay!" Xin Jiuniang sighed faintly: "Then it's nothing, I'll go back first, I'm afraid that the old guy will find out that I'm not in the palace after a long time." ”

"Well, I'll look for you again in case something happens."

"Okay, then I'll go, you have to be careful yourself, beware of that old demon plotting against you again."

"You are the same, since Prince Qing may know your details, maybe he will also deal with you secretly. So, you have to be vigilant too. ”

"Well, got it......"

After Xin Jiuniang left, Gu Ming thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help but think about it, and immediately found a pen and paper and began to write the three-character scripture.

This time, his calligraphy has been upgraded to level 5, and with the skill of incorporating wonderful brushes when he writes, the words written can be described as iron painting silver hooks, swimming clouds and dragons, jumping on the paper.

……

The next day, after noon.

Gu Ming came to the gate of the palace with a roll of paper, and showed his waist card: "Trouble to report, I have a word to present to the emperor in person." ”

"It turned out to be Master Gu!"

As soon as they saw the waist card, a group of guards hurriedly bowed their hands.

Afterwards, a guard hurriedly went to report, and another guard took Gu Ming to the main hall to be summoned first.

It is not an easy task to see the emperor, and you have to go through many checkpoints and report it layer by layer.

At that time, the emperor was accompanying Concubine Ning to enjoy the cool air, drink, listen to music, and enjoy the scenery in the imperial garden.

Concubine Ning had a miscarriage last time and never conceived again. However, this does not affect the emperor's favor of her, after all, this woman is too good at making the emperor happy.

Not only can he sing and dance, but all kinds of fancy styles also make the emperor completely fascinated.

"Your Majesty, are you feeding others......"

This woman is a demon again, and it is not delicious to eat a fruit, so she has to let the emperor bite into her mouth first and then feed her.

But the emperor likes this tune......

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty, Lord Gu, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, asked to see him, saying that he wanted to offer a painting."

As soon as he heard the report, the emperor was overjoyed: "Oh? Hurry up ......"

didn't wait for the order to finish, Concubine Ning was a little unhappy and said: "Your Majesty, let him wait first, people want to accompany the emperor more here." ”

"Aifei, Gu Aiqing has just taken office, and it is the first time she has entered the palace to see me, and I can't help but see me."

"That'...... Should the concubines avoid it? ”

"No, you just happened to meet Gu Aiqing...... Quick, Xuan Gu Aiqing will meet you. ”

"Yes!"

The eunuch went away in response.

Not long after, the eunuch led Gu Ming into the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, Lord Gu has arrived!"

"Weichen see the emperor, Concubine Ning."

In fact, Gu Ming didn't know Concubine Ning, so naturally the eunuch told him about it halfway, so as to save him from losing his manners at that time.

"Gu Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, come and give me a seat!"

"Emperor Xie!"

Gu Ming thanked him first, and then said: "On the occasion of the marriage of the minister, thanks to the congratulatory gift sent by the emperor, the minister was grateful, so he wrote the three-character scripture and dedicated it to the emperor, with a little bit of the minister's meager heart. ”

As soon as he heard this, the emperor couldn't help but feel happy, stroked his beard and smiled: "Gu Aiqing is really heartfelt, if you hold a wedding in the capital, I will have to come there in person to congratulate you......"

Although it is a polite sentence, when it comes out of the emperor's mouth, the meaning is different.

After all, as the Son of Heaven, such polite words are not something that can be said casually.

Subsequently, the emperor ordered the palace maid to present the text panel.

Because there are more than 1,000 characters in the Three Character Sutra, Gu Ming used several pieces of paper to write, and put together a long text panel.

At this time, Concubine Ning squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Ming with an unpredictable expression.

Although Gu Ming's eyes were not facing Concubine Ning, the corner of his eye had already seen the other party clearly, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: No wonder this woman is favored.

Stunning appearance, exquisite figure, and inadvertently revealed style...... In short, he looks like a goblin.

In fact, Concubine Ning was originally a goblin.

Xin Jiuniang had exposed Concubine Ning's bottom before, saying that her body was a golden chicken.

Of course, even without Xin Jiuniang's reminder, Gu Ming could see by his own feelings that this woman was not human.

It's just that I know it in my heart, but I can't tell it in front of the emperor...... At least not yet.

As soon as the words were unfolded, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but widen, as if he was a little incredulous.

"Gu Aiqing, this ...... Did you really write it yourself? ”

It is not surprising that he has such doubts, because when Gu Ming was taking the examination before, one of the test papers was the Three Character Classic.

That test paper is now in the emperor's imperial study.

Although the handwriting is also quite good, it is obviously not at the same level as the one in front of me.

As a son of heaven, he has naturally seen many famous calligraphy and paintings. And the painting in front of me, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has reached the point of being superb, and it is not inferior to the master of calligraphy, and even surpasses.

It's only been a few months, and it's been so much progress?

Although the emperor had doubts in his heart, judging from the strokes, the style did seem to come from the hands of one person.

Moreover, he believed that Gu Ming could not be so bold and pretend to be his own with someone else's handwriting, which was a great crime of bullying the king.

Gu Ming naturally understood the question in the emperor's heart, and couldn't help but get up and smiled: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a little experience in calligraphy and painting recently, and I would like to demonstrate it in front of the emperor and Niangniang......

This move, Gu Ming has another deep meaning.

To put it simply, it can be regarded as secretly officially starting a game with Pudu Cihang.

Pudu Cihang wanted to confuse and blind the emperor's mind, and eventually turn him into a puppet emperor. Then, he will do the opposite, use his own expertise, and pull the emperor back from the edge of the cliff step by step.

When the time came, he uprooted the old demon and his men in one fell swoop.

"Great, then it's hard to love Qing......"

Gu Ming's words were in line with the emperor's wishes, and he immediately ordered someone to take the four treasures of the study.

Everything was ready, Gu Ming stood on the side of the case, gently rolled up his sleeves, picked up the pen, and pondered......

At this time, the emperor was full of interest and took Concubine Ning to stand beside Gu Ming, ready to observe Gu Ming's calligraphy on the spot.

Although the palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to approach, they also subconsciously tiptoed and stretched out their necks to glance at the white paper on the desktop.

After all, Gu Ming's reputation is too famous, and they all want to see the skills of the new champion with their own eyes.

After pondering for a while, Gu Ming finally began to write......

"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses! ”

The crowd watched intently with bated breath, but no one noticed that there was another vision in the sky, and several rainbows slowly appeared above the palace.

Under the reflection of the rainbow, several adjacent white clouds also become colorful, looking very psychedelic.

In the Imperial Garden, large and small flowers and bones bloom one by one, exuding bursts of fragrant fragrance.

A group of butterflies also flew over from nowhere, flying back and forth above Gu Ming's head.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

"How can there be a rainbow in the sky?"

In the palace, it became boiling for a while, and the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids all raised their heads to look at the sky and discussed in surprise.

Including the harem, many concubines also walked out of the dormitory to enjoy this rare spectacle.

It's not unusual to see a rainbow in the sky, but it's usually only seen after the rain, or at sunrise or sunset.

In the imperial garden, a palace maid finally discovered the rainbow in the sky.

At the same time, some people also noticed that a lot of flowers suddenly bloomed nearby.

However, at this time, the emperor was looking down and fascinated, so no one dared to squeak, but secretly looked up or sideways to admire.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ugly!"

It wasn't until Gu Ming put down his pen and said a word modestly to the emperor that the emperor came back to his senses.

"Okay, great!"

The emperor looked excited, and even a little out of shape.

"Gu Aiqing, your calligraphy is simply amazing, in my opinion, it is inflammatory, and it will never lose to the calligraphers of all dynasties.

There is also the content of this word, with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses.

It's really a word for word, which can be called a warning word for the world! ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but reach out and pat Gu Ming's shoulder with emotion: "I, how fortunate I am to be able to find a peerless talent like Aiqing......"

The imperial eunuch standing on the side saw the opportunity very much, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

"Hahaha!"

The emperor laughed happily.

At this time, Fang felt a strange fragrance.

"Huh?"

Subconsciously looked sideways and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?" This flower bloomed so much at once? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the palace maid hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, there is still a rainbow in the sky." ”

"And many, many butterflies ......"

"This ...... Really! ”

The emperor looked up, and sure enough, it was so.

Then he subconsciously glanced at the group of flying butterflies, and suddenly thought of the auspicious vision of the dragon and phoenix at the time of the last palace test.

"Gu Aiqing, hahaha, it's you again!"

"Uh......"

"You are really a member of my family, as soon as you enter the palace, the sky will show the sky, I must be rewarded heavily!"

Hearing this, Concubine Ning couldn't help frowning, and her heart was a little heavy.

Because she knew very well in her heart that Gu Ming's arrival was not a good thing for her side.

Even Pudu Cihang couldn't find out the details of Gu Ming, let alone her.

The more Gu Ming won the emperor's favor, the more unfavorable it became to her and her master.

It's just that the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, and she doesn't dare to say anything in front of her, at most, she will find an opportunity to blow the pillow wind in the future......

"Aiqing, what do you want? Let me tell you, as long as it is within reason, I will definitely agree! ”

As soon as these words came out, a group of eunuchs and palace maids glanced at Gu Ming one after another, their eyes full of envy.

It's a great honor.

Usually only ministers who have made special contributions to the imperial court and made great contributions will ask the emperor this question.

Although there is a "reasonable range" constraint, under normal circumstances, since the emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, as long as Gu Ming does not make too excessive requests, the emperor will generally meet them.

For example, he now proposes to be promoted to the first rank, that is, from the fifth rank to the fourth grade, and it is estimated that the emperor will accept it.

But if the lion opens his mouth widely, he wants to be directly promoted to the third grade...... I'm afraid it will turn a good thing into a bad thing.

This is clearly in the category of unreasonableness.

It's just that when the emperor said this, it made Gu Ming difficult.

Because he was a little unsure of the scale. And in his mind, the emperor may also be on a whim, if he lowers the conditions, it is better not to speak.

If the conditions are raised, even if the emperor reluctantly agrees, he will inevitably have some bad opinions about him.

This is not conducive to future plans, it is equivalent to pushing the emperor to Pudu's old demon.
