It was the end of the night when the palace banquet was dispersed, and there was no one on the main street outside the imperial city, and the courtiers of various families rode horses and sat in sedan chairs, and they were really unwilling to stay in the palace gate for a moment longer.

When Gu Jiangyuan's family arrived home, suddenly dark clouds covered the sky full of stars and a bright moon, and a light rain also fell on Tianjie, this was the first rain in early spring, and there was still a little chill, silently sprinkled on the streets and alleys, completely smoothing out the night when the mountain rain was coming.

The spring rain is silent.

Gu Jin originally thought that Gu Jiangyuan would have something to say with their brothers and sisters, but he didn't think that after returning home, Gu Jiangyuan didn't say a word, only waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to the house.

He and Gu Xiang were already frightened, and they didn't experience ridiculing Gu Jin anymore, but they were all safe and quiet this night.

Gu Jintong Yunqian and Peihuan went back to the evening window pavilion, and saw the two little girls tidy up everything, the stove was raised, the doors and windows were closed, the cigarettes were lit, and everything was as before.

Gu Jin lay on the bed, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, falling on the grass and trees in the courtyard, and really settled his mind.

Tonight, she spent a lot of energy, and she had to play with people on the same side, and she had to figure out the situation in the court, so she should have taken advantage of this time to take a good rest, but listening to the sound of the rain, she couldn't sleep anyway.

The matter was over, but she still had doubts in her heart, but she couldn't see Lu Guitang at this moment, which only increased her uneasiness.

Another half an hour later, when Gu Jin was drowsy, she heard faint footsteps outside the window.

Is that him?

Gu Jin got up, put on his clothes, held an umbrella, and went out.

When he saw clearly the person who came alone in the rainy night, Gu Jin was suddenly stunned.

"Father?"

The person who came was Gu Jiangyuan, Gu Mansion was in mourning, Gu Jiangyuan was also dressed very plainly, and his moonlight clothes looked very eye-catching in the rainy night.

Gu Jin hurriedly invited people into the house, guessing that Gu Jiangyuan came alone at night because he must have something important to tell him, so he didn't wake up Peihuan and Yun Xuan, but took tea bait for his father to make sencha.

The sound of rain outside did not stop, and the fragrance of tea was curling in the house, Gu Jiangyuan was not in a hurry to speak, he just sat quietly and waited for Gu Jin to fry the pot of tea.

"On a rainy night, my father warmed up with a cup of hot tea."

Gu Jiangyuan smiled and took the tea handed over by Gu Jin, and only said: "Your tea is good, but I drank this one for my father, I'm afraid it will be even harder to sleep tonight." ”

Gu Jin lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled, naturally hearing the meaning of Gu Jiangyuan's words. She put away the tea and tea bait, and then said: "Presumably, even if my father doesn't drink tea tonight, he will have trouble sleeping." ”

Gu Jiangyuan sighed, he wanted to open the lid of the tea and take a sip, but when he saw the heat, it was obviously hot, so he put the tea cup on the table beside him, and said:

"What do you think about the palace banquet tonight?"

He tossed and turned tonight and couldn't sleep, his mind was full of the situation in the court tonight, but he couldn't find anyone to discuss for a while, so he braved the rain to look for Gu Jin.

Gu Jin smiled, he already knew that Gu Jiangyuan would ask this question, and he didn't hide it in front of his father, and said generously: "Some people want to succeed, some people are afraid of bad things, and some people are worried about harming themselves. ”

Gu Jiangyuan squinted his eyes, and when he heard that this was very meaningful, he chuckled lightly twice, "Interesting, for my father, I saw your actions tonight, as if I noticed it early in the morning?" ”

Gu Jin said yes, and then told Gu Jiangyuan about the things at the palace banquet tonight, such as how she found out that the queen was suspicious of Jiang Rou in the casual conversation with Wei Yuchuan, and how she deduced that the holy dragon was in good health and invited Chen Xiangsheng, but she skipped her conversation with Lu Guitang.

Gu Jiangyuan seemed to be thoughtful after hearing this, and said again after a long time: "When the saint fainted, King Xian and King Shu were not at the table, what do you think ......?"

Gu Jin's heart sank, understanding that this question was what Gu Jiangyuan wanted to know most about tonight, tonight Ning Guogong took power, the imperial city garrison was dispatched, Yuan Changxin was suspected of forcing the palace, but Lu Chengxiu and Lu Guitang disappeared at the most important juncture, which has to make people think more.

What did they do when they were not in the palace? Is there any one of these two who has a mind that should not be raised?

Gu Jinyu tapped on the back of the chair, thinking about it for a long time, although she and Lu Guitang had set a blocking strategy tonight, she really didn't know what they did when they left the palace, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been able to sleep.

Gu Jin shook her head slightly, she couldn't answer this question now.

But......

Tonight's matter will be known tomorrow morning, but no matter whether Ning Guogong has bad intentions or not, and no matter who Yuan Changxin sent his troops to, not to mention what Lu Chengxiu and Lu Guitang did, there will only be one explanation for this matter.

"Father thinks that if everything that could happen tonight really happened, and the saint wakes up tomorrow morning, what excuse will he use to end this matter?"

Gu Jiangyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, he had always known that Gu Jin had a long-term vision, but he didn't expect it to be so long-term.

Leaning less, Gu Jiang Yuan smiled loudly: "If everyone in Dazhen's courtiers has such a mind as you, there is no need to be an official for his father." ”

Gu Jin smiled, and after listening to Gu Jiangyuan's words, he already knew that his father understood her words.

This time is different from the past, the holy dragon is sick, and the matter of checking the income and expenditure of the courtier's mansion has just been done before, and now what we need to do is to stabilize the dynasty, not to eliminate the party.

Ning Guogong has held the power of the government for many years, and the foundation is already deep, even if the saint wants to resign the power of the Ning Guo Mansion, he will not be in a hurry at the moment, even if Ning Guogong authorizes Yuan Changxin to send troops tonight, the saint will not mention this matter. Regardless of Ning Guogong's sins, let alone the affairs of King Shu and King Xian, no matter whether the two of them drank too much tonight and went out of the palace, tomorrow's conclusion will definitely be that they drank too much.

In this way......

"If my father can't sleep when he goes back, it's better to write an excerpt while he is in the spirit, and there is no need to mention too much about tonight's events between words, just bite the imperial city garrison and not let go, then everything will be stable, and it will definitely conform to the general trend."

Gu Jiangyuan picked up the tea cup that had been warmed, and listened to Gu Jin's words, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"If your brother has a mind like you in the government, our Gu family can also sit back and relax."

As soon as the words came out, he paused again, and suddenly remembered the scene of Gu Jin's firm voting attitude in front of the queen at the palace banquet tonight, which seemed to be out of proportion, but in fact, he took the proportions just right, and in the future, the queen talked about this matter with the saint, which would definitely make the saint trust the Gu family a little more.

Gu Jin blinked: "Father is cautious, if your brother hears this, beware of him reasoning with you." ”

Gu Jiang Yuan smiled loudly, and finally relieved at this time after a night of worry.
