Emperor Longqing is over forty years old, his figure is slightly fat, his face is handsome, and he is elegant and square.
Wearing the emperor's regular clothes made him a little more majestic as a son of heaven.
Sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, Lord He has fair skin, handsome facial features, and a pair of smart eyes, revealing a bit of cunning and shrewdness.
Of course, Lord He is also very good-looking.
Most of the courtiers favored by Emperor Longqing had good looks.
Playing chess with Emperor Longqing is a chore, winning is disrespectful to the emperor, losing too quickly and losing too badly, and the emperor can't be interested.
However, all this is not a problem in front of Lord He, every time he plays chess with the emperor, he can always make Emperor Longqing happy.
Even Lord He dared to win Emperor Longqing on the chessboard.
"Gu Zhan?!"
Emperor Longqing repeated the name, "Gu Qing's own brother? β
Lu Zheng hummed lightly, "The minister thinks that he is more funny than Gu Shilang, and he dares to be in front of the minister, and he is the only one who comes and goes." β
"Haha."
Emperor Longqing threw away the chess pieces and looked very happy, "He knows that you are the Marquis of Guanshi?" β
Lu Zheng nodded slightly, and continued to mention some interesting things about Gu Siye, and even troubles, Emperor Longqing's mind was not on playing chess at all.
Lord He's eyes flashed, if you say that the people who know the emperor in this world, except for themselves, that is, Lu Zheng, who grew up next to the emperor.
Why did Lu Zheng deliberately arouse Emperor Longqing's interest in Gu Zhan?
Lord He was wearing a pair of pants with Lu Zheng at this time, Lu Zheng had helped him before, and he had to repay him.
"The slave heard that in the prison, Gu Zhan made Zhao Lian and Lord Zhao so angry that he jumped to his feet, and also taught Lord Zhao a hard lesson."
"Oh? Zhao Lian is stubborn, like a stone, and I have a headache for him. β
Lord He added fuel and vinegar to carefully recount the news obtained from the prison.
Lu Zheng pinched the fruit in his hand, and saw that Emperor Longqing was extremely interested, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
"That's right, that's right, Gu Zhan...... Li Yong. β
With a bronzed face guarding the door of the imperial study, a sturdy man walked in.
The body is like a rock, and the face is wooden.
He gives people a very steady and credible feeling, but he is silent.
"The minions are here."
He knelt in front of Emperor Longqing in a proper manner.
Regardless of whether he is already one of the commanders of the guards, in front of Emperor Longqing, he has always regarded himself as a minion.
This is different from Lord He, who deliberately curryed favor with Emperor Longqing, and Li Yong never forgot his identity.
How everything came to be today.
Emperor Longqing was most satisfied with believing in him, and many of the guards and servants who had entered the palace with him had already ...... He was willing to keep Li Yong by his side, in addition to trusting him.
It was more because Li Yong did not enter the palace with him that day to launch a palace change, and he did not see everything he did for the throne.
He can feel at ease that the throne he has obtained is passed on to him by the previous emperor.
"I remember, you have a sister? It seems that she made a concubine for the young master of the Gu family. β
Emperor Longqing faintly has a few memories left, after all, there are only a few women who can make him distinguish his appearance.
He had been thinking about receiving people that day, and he remembered that someone took the initiative to come over...... I forgot about Li Yong's sister.
"Back to the master, the slave sister gave Gu Zhan as a concubine, he saved the slave sister that day, and gave the slave the silver for treatment, if there was no him, the slave would not be able to meet the master."
He was cured of his illness first, and then he met the four princes at that time with his sister.
Because of his strong body and loyal and honest face, he was selected by the four princes and elected to the prince's mansion, starting from the lowest subordinates.
Later, he shot the tiger who almost killed the four princes, and he saved the lives of the four princes in the tiger's mouth, so he was promoted from a slave to a guard, and he could serve by the side of the four princes.
During the period when the four princes were vying for the throne, it was he who blocked the arrows that the rest of the princes made people shoot at the four princes.
Although Li Yong is not very good at pleasing the four princes and has a stupid mouth, he can always handle the things that the master explains, and the four princes gradually treat Li Yong, who has an innocent background, as a confidant.
It's just that Li Yong was unlucky, and two days before the palace change, he went to pick up the sachet for the four princes to pray for blessings in the temple, and it rained, so he would rather be poured into a soup chicken himself, and also ensure that the sachet was safe.
After Li Yong handed over the sachet to the four princes, he fainted with a fever.
The four princes were quite moved, Xu is sachet helped, he successfully let the prince die of illness, let the first emperor write the edict of succession, and the four princes became the current emperor.
After he ascended the throne, when he divided the meritorious ministers, Li Yong was ignored by him because he did nothing during the palace change.
But Li Yong is still loyal, and in recent years, Emperor Longqing has almost cleaned up all the heroes, and he found that Li Yong was actually reading a military book...... It seems that I have a deep understanding of the art of war.
The most important thing is that Li Yong was silent and obedient, and Emperor Longqing tried several times and became more and more satisfied with him.
He already had the intention to hand over the guards on the outskirts of Beijing to Li Yong, or directly let Li Yong replace the general army of Datong.
The general army of Datong has more than 100,000 border troops in his hands, and his combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the guards on the outskirts of Beijing.
And it only takes two days for Datong to ride a fast horse in the capital!
But anyone who can become the general soldier of Datong is the absolute henchman of the emperor.
Moreover, Datong defended the capital, once Datong was lost, the capital would be over.
Since Emperor Longqing reused Li Yong, he also needed to check on the people around him, and Li Yong had always been grateful to his sister.
Emperor Longqing touched his chin and said meaningfully, "Gu Zhan? It's not that you can't see it. β
"You are now a real confidant, and you are watching your sister make a concubine?"
"The slave doesn't dare to forget her roots, and she doesn't dare to connive at her sister's troubles just because the slave is favored by the emperor, not to mention that the slave sister is not an arrogant person, she has always been very grateful to Gu Siye for his help."
Emperor Longqing looked at Li Yong, who was kneeling in front of him, "You and your sister are people who keep their duties." β
"Everything is given by the master, and the slave does not dare to forget his roots."
"Get up."
Li Yong kowtowed after hearing this, and then slowly got up, and stood aside in silence like a pillar.
Emperor Longqing didn't speak, he could stand all day without saying a word.
There are many people around Emperor Longqing, who are sharp-toothed, flattering and interesting, but Li Yong has followed Emperor Longqing for the longest time.
Emperor Longqing looked through the file and said, "Since it is certain that Gu Zhan is wronged, it is also reasonable to release the Heavenly Prison as soon as possible, Li Yong, you personally go to the Heavenly Prison to release him, and bring some rewards by the way." β
"The minions obey."
Li Yong withdrew from the imperial study.
Emperor Longqing's eyes narrowed, "Jingzhao Mansion Yin is incompetent, and he will never be dismissed." β
Lord He smiled and said: "The emperor is wise, there are often people in the capital who have made trouble recently, and the servants see that Jingzhao Mansion Yin has mishandled it." β
Emperor Longqing glanced at Lu Zheng again, "You arrange it, I really want to see Gu Zhan." β
After all, he had already received Zhao Lian's request for guilt, and his interest in Gu Zhan was a little stronger.
