Chapter 246: The New Deal
After watching Mo Xuanyin walk away, Gu Xiqian bypassed the mausoleum of his parents and looked at a small stone tablet erected inside.
"Alas, I didn't expect that I would still look at myself like this on the day I did." Gu Xiqian touched the stone tablet and said.
I saw that it was written, "Princess of Nanyue, the tomb of Gu Nanqin" Seeing such a tombstone made her feel a little emotional.
In her previous life, she was a carefree princess, and even everything around her was so beautiful, until that moment, a moment, that she appeared in front of her like this again.
"You know from the spring, you should have rested in peace." Gu Xiqian looked at the tombstone and smiled bitterly.
At this time, I saw a gust of wind blowing, almost extinguishing the ever-bright light above, as if responding to Gu Xiqian.
"Don't worry, I will definitely live well in the future, even your share."
When he left, he looked back at his family, bowed and saluted, "When the world is peaceful, I will come to see you again." ”
At this time, Mo Xuanyin was a little impatient outside, and Mu Chuan, who was not far away, had already begun to pack his baggage.
"It's been a long wait, let's go back." Gu Xiqian said.
After saying goodbye to Makikawa, the two began to return to the camp to prepare for the future.
A month later, Gu Ye began to cultivate his own power in the government, and the original Muchuan old party was arrested by Gu Ye for various reasons, and even Gu Rongzhi could not escape, but Gu Ye saw that the other party was the person of King Xiang, and in the end he still punished him with a small punishment.
Subsequently, a number of new decrees were issued to adjust the taxes of the country and allied countries, which for a time left officials with a puzzled face.
Because they had the impression that Gu Ye's image was basically similar to that of Prince Duan, such a sudden change made them at a loss.
In addition, since the decree promulgated is for the benefit of the people, it is obvious that it touches their interests.
For a while, in the main hall, officials were also expressing their dissatisfaction.
For those people, Gu Ye naturally did not let them go, although on the surface he was dealing with them, but in fact, he took advantage of this time to arrange for his subordinates to investigate their evidence.
Because of Gu Ye's changes, many people's views of Gu Ye have changed, and some people even lamented the rumor that Gu Ye is Mingjun.
Of course, when it reached Gu Xiqian's ears, she was also puzzled.
"It's really strange, if it was according to Gu Ye's temperament before, he wouldn't do this, could it be that he suddenly opened his mind?" Gu Xiqian said.
However, for Mo Xuanyin, it was different, "Actually, I think he should be thinking about weakening the strength of some people, and then taking the opportunity to cultivate his own power." ”
Gu Xiqian thought about it for a while, and also felt that what Gu Ye said made some sense, after all, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and such a performance also has the possibility of building momentum for himself.
In that case, let's secretly "help" him. Gu Xiqian said with a smile, looking at Mo Xuanyin on the side with a puzzled face.
Although Gu Ye has made a lot of changes to the government, in fact, he understands that this is only a drop in the bucket, and the ministers have a deep foundation, and they definitely cannot be changed overnight.
But the most important thing now is to build momentum for yourself and win the support of the people, so that your throne can be more stable, but first of all, you must clear the power of other people in the court.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a candidate.
Gu Rongzhi, who was in the Xiangwang Mansion, because he was dismissed from his official position, is now idle, just hanging out at home every day, and occasionally going out to play.
"Alas, I didn't expect that I would be so idle, it's good, there are not more people now, and I am also happy and clean." Gu Rongzhi sighed leisurely eating pastries in the gazebo.
At this time, I saw my subordinates coming in a panic, saying that the emperor was visiting, and he was so frightened that he almost choked.
After tidying up himself, Gu Rongzhi immediately came to the main hall and knelt down and said, "See the emperor." ”
Gu Ye looked at Gu Rongzhi in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Gu, enjoy the life after resigning in advance, I don't know how to feel?" ”
Gu Rongzhi said: "Emperor Xie is complete, and the lower officials live leisurely at home every day, but their hearts are always concerned about national affairs. ”
Although these words are a bit sycophant, Gu Ye likes it very much, "I have an errand I want to ask you, I wonder if Lord Gu is willing to take it?" ”
Seeing that it was a task personally arranged by Gu Ye, Gu Rongzhi immediately kowtowed and agreed.
Gu Ye then said the content, and Gu Rongzhi's face changed when he boarded.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be bad to do this, after all, they are all ministers, so naturally it's not good..."Gu Rongzhi hesitated.
"That's natural, but didn't you help your father do such a thing before? It wouldn't hurt to do it again now, right? Moreover, at that time, you naturally made a lot of oil and water, didn't you? Gu Ye looked at him with a slight frown and said.
"The emperor is aware of it, and the ministers have no greed, it is all a matter of handing over to the treasury, how dare you play with it?" Gu Rongzhi explained.
However, Gu Ye didn't care so much, threatened Gu Rongzhi to do it, and even intimidated him, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.
After sending Gu Ye away, Gu Rongzhi was a little helpless, and now he was going to offend a lot of people, so he tried to be as secretive as possible.
When I came to the street, I saw that the people were discussing Gu Ye's deeds, and some people even said that he was somewhat similar to the previous king, which made Gu Rongzhi also determined to do a good job.
Of course, if he wanted to investigate by himself, it would naturally be impossible, so there was only one place to be able to grasp this information: the twin floors.
When I walked in, I saw that the business inside was still booming, and even people began to line up outside.
After confronting Xiao Er's code, Xiao Er immediately shouted, "The showcase, a distinguished guest is here!" ”
When I came to the third floor, I saw that the old man inside was still looking at Gu Rongzhi with a calm face.
"Master Gu, I heard that nothing has happened in Nanyue recently, except for the matter of Chaogang, for you, who has resigned, it has nothing to do with you, right?" The old man looked at him and said.
Gu Rongzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't say anything, the old man had already said the matter, and he didn't even say it at all.
"I didn't expect that the information on the twin floors is still as accurate as ever, since this is the case, then I will get straight to the point." Gu Rongzhi said.
After a while, the old man couldn't help but be surprised, "Master Gu, your mission is very dangerous, not only you, but even us who provide information are also very dangerous, thinking that I should think about it carefully." ”
I saw that Gu Rongzhi immediately took out an ingot of gold and handed it over, "Old man, it was with your information last time that I was able to rise to prominence in the court, and you have to help me this time." ”
I saw the old man and Jin Zi pushed back: "Master Gu, last time it was all some small problems, but now it's not the same thing, it is obvious that the emperor has his purpose today, we are just a small stacked twin buildings, we can't afford this responsibility, this is you or please be smart." ”
Hearing that Shuanglou was unwilling to help him, Gu Rongzhi was a little scared, if he found someone else, there was naturally a possibility of leakage, and there might even be someone to investigate, so it seemed that he couldn't afford this risk.
Just when Gu Rongzhi wanted to leave, the old man suddenly stopped him, "Master Gu, although some people can't afford this risk, there are still some things that can be told to you." After speaking, he called Xiao Er with his hands and clapped his hands.
Hearing that they were willing to help him, Gu Rongzhi sat down excitedly, and after a while, Xiao Er came over with an envelope.
The old man looked at the contents inside, and then put it away and handed it over: "Master Gu, this is what we can do, if there is any more, please consider it yourself." ”
As a result, Gu Rongzhi was a little suspicious, and he was stunned to open it after returning to Xiangwang's Mansion to see.
"It's... These lists are..."Looking at the content above, Gu Rongzhi was speechless for a moment.
At night, Gu Rongzhi looked at the list and couldn't help but worry, this time the emperor's task was too difficult, and he was still thinking about how to explain it.
After the morning court ended the next day, Gu Rongzhi came to the backyard with some trepidation, and Gu Ye was enjoying the flowers at this time, with a leisurely expression.
"See the Emperor." Gu Rongzhi bowed and said.
"Oh? Lord Gu came to report so quickly, could it be that something had already been found? Gu Ye turned around and motioned for Gu Rongzhi to sit down.
I saw Gu Rongzhi slowly take out an envelope and hand it over, "Your Majesty, this is the result of the investigation by the lower officials." ”
Gu Ye was a little puzzled, now it's the two of them, why do things have to be so mysterious?
However, when I opened the envelope, my face suddenly changed.
"Master Gu, what is written in your letter is a very dangerous name." Gu Ye warned.
I saw Gu Ye kneeling down and explained: "The emperor is angry, I also have something to write, I have absolutely no selfishness, and during this time, didn't the emperor find anything?" ”
Gu Ye put down the letter, remembered what happened before, and suddenly felt that what Gu Rongzhi said also made some sense.
"Well, even if what you write is true, then it can be counted as the following crimes, can you afford it?" The emperor asked.
At this time, Gu Rongzhi understood what Gu Ye meant, and immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake.
"Alright, forget it, but if you dare to tell anyone, I promise, your fate will be ugly." Gu Ye warned.
"Emperor Xie, the lower officials retired." Gu Rongzhi then kowtowed and left the back garden quickly.
Looking at the envelope on it, Gu Ye sneered, "I didn't know until now, it turns out that you still have such thoughts, but in my opinion, your method is still a little tender, and you still say that this is for my good!?" ”
Thinking of what had happened recently, Gu Ye immediately tore up the letter paper, only to see that there was an unexpected name in the scattered shredded paper: Zhen Yufu.
