Chapter 655: Aftermath (3)
Emperor Longqing met Aunt Dexi in the Gongyuan.
Before she entered the door, Emperor Longqing heard Aunt Xi's cry.
Lu Zheng, who came in with her, had a dark face, his temples were beating faintly, he seemed to be extremely patient and depressed, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if a mouth would explode.
Emperor Longqing felt amused, Lu Zheng's tortured appearance was extremely rare.
In the past, Lu Zheng was wronged and always fought back.
Presumably Lu Zheng was tortured enough by Aunt Xi.
Lu Zheng bowed his hand to Emperor Longqing to express his return, and then immediately stood the farthest place from Aunt Xi.
Lord He sensed Emperor Longqing's pity for Lu Zheng, and sighed, His Majesty was deceived by Lu Zheng again!
Even if Aunt Xi can't stand it, can Lu Zheng still be able to deal with her?
Lu Zheng just did it for Emperor Longqing.
In the past, Lu Zheng rarely competed for favor anymore, and he didn't care about many things, since Lu Zheng recognized Gu Yao, how many things did he meddle in before and after?
Why did the Eighth Prince have the support of the vast majority of officials in the imperial court?
Why is he often valued and taken by Emperor Longqing, becoming the most promising candidate for the throne?
The Eighth Prince obviously offended Lu Zheng more or less, but Lu Zheng was stimulated by words, but he did not stumble on the Eighth Prince.
Hehe.
Lord He can smile at the confident Eighth Prince.
Without Lu Zheng as a pusher in the back, Lord He didn't believe it at all.
Even if the eighth prince can be the crown prince, it is only a second choice for Emperor Longqing.
The eighth prince is not as good as Lu Zheng now, and he is still not as good as Lu Zheng as the prince...... Emperor Longqing will not be entangled if he abolishes the crown prince.
It is too stupid to treat Lu Zheng as a whetstone for the princes, and it should be the other way around.
Lord He can still see it relatively clearly, once Emperor Longqing is completely disappointed in his sons, he will inevitably snatch his sons with Lu Heng in the next step!
Aunt Xi is crying, fragile and lovable.
Emperor Longqing was also annoyed, but the reason why he kept Aunt Xi was not because of a conscience, nor did he think of the brotherhood with the prince of the first emperor.
Rather, it is an oath he made to the first emperor.
Master He also knows this, after all, he also has his own channels to find out a little bit about the secrets of the year.
Emperor Longqing didn't want his bloodline to be completely cut off, and he didn't want the country he snatched back to be handed back to the first emperor and the crown prince.
The more unbearable the princes, the more stable Lu Zheng's position becomes.
In fact, he didn't need Lu Zheng to do anything, he just needed to attract all the distress of Emperor Longqing.
Aunt Xi choked up and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard that they will attack the Gongyuan...... If I knew the slightest bit of news, would I not tell the fourth master? Seeing the fourth master injured? ”
"I hurt the fourth master by an inch, which is more uncomfortable than my heart."
"Your Majesty, I beg you, let me take care of the fourth master."
Emperor Longqing's forehead is also raised, and his sharp eyes can't wait to penetrate Aunt Xi's body and look directly at the soul, is she really the daughter of the first emperor's prince?
His prince's elder brother Yunwen Yunwu is calm and calm, generous and benevolent, and can be called the most perfect prince.
Otherwise, the first emperor and crown prince would not have died for so long, and there are still many people who miss him and subvert the throne in his name.
Aunt Xi doesn't look like the daughter of the first emperor's crown prince...... But where did the birthmark on her come from?
Emperor Longqing patiently asked Aunt Xi a few more words, she couldn't say anything except to see Gu Siye.
Lord He came close and whispered a few words to Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "This matter will be handed over to you to deal with, and I will let Jinyiwei cooperate with you." ”
"Your Majesty......"
Lord He was a little embarrassed, and when he saw the eight princes who were eager to try, he said in a low voice: "The slave does not dare to instruct His Majesty's personal guards, it is not the slave who shirks, but the Gongyuan has made such a big move, even if the imperial history has not impeached the slave, the slave is the main exam, and the slave is now guilty of it, and it is not suitable to be in front of others." ”
"This is a good opportunity for me to give you a meritorious service."
"The slave does not ask for credit, but only asks for His Majesty's plan to go smoothly, as long as he can catch the thief, even if the slave is dealt with by His Majesty, he is willing."
Master He said sincerely: "Your Majesty, now it is like looking at a murderer to look at the slaves, and the slaves implore Your Majesty to punish the slaves in order to appease the anger of the students." ”
How good is he?
How could Emperor Longqing let him make meritorious service for his crimes?
What's more, Master He really didn't dare to receive that credit!
It's easy to be hated by Gu Jin and Lu Zheng.
He'd rather carry the black cauldron!
The eighth prince said: "Lord He does have a lot of inconveniences, and the sons are willing to share the worries of their father and the emperor, and unite with the Jinyi guard to arrest the thief." ”
Emperor Longqing pondered for a long time, "Okay, this matter will be left to you, so that you don't always say that I won't give you a chance to show your effectiveness." Hachi, don't let me down, understand? ”
"The retainers obey."
If he can cooperate with Jinyiwei, he will have a chance to infiltrate Jinyiwei.
Among the guards controlled by the emperor, the Jinyi Guard is the most powerful, and the Shenji Battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness, and the rest of the guards are just a few.
Emperor Longqing called Lu Zheng, "You go back to the palace with me, and I have something to say to you." ”
Lu Zheng refused: "The minister wants to take care of Yongle Hou." ”
"Will you serve?"
Emperor Longqing's heart was slightly sour, and Lu Zheng shook his head.
"Gu Zhan also hopes to catch the thief as soon as possible, so as to show his loyalty to me."
Emperor Longqing said slowly: "I will not treat any meritorious hero, Gu Zhan...... I will be kind to him and the Gu family, and Zheng'er has to believe that Xiaoba and Jinyiwei can protect Gu Zhan. ”
Lu Zheng escorted Emperor Longqing back to the palace, Lu Heng looked at the two people who were far away, his eyes were slightly sunken, and he rode back to the Zhenguo Mansion.
After entering the door, Lu Heng ordered to prepare a dowry, originally Lu Zheng was ready, and Lu Heng added a lot of it to show that the Zhenguo Mansion attached great importance to marrying Gu Yao.
He was not afraid that the princess's daughter-in-law would be dissatisfied.
In addition to not being from a royal background, Gu Yao is better than the princess county lord.
It's also more suitable for Lu Zheng!
******
Because of the explosion of the Gongyuan case, Lord He took the initiative to go to the prison, firstly, to save the imperial historians from impeachment, and secondly, to avoid the limelight.
After all, he gave His Majesty the idea of using Gu Siye as bait to lure out the thief.
He was afraid that he would be complained by Gillian when he went back, and he would be retaliated against by Lu Zheng in the court, of course, Gu Qing, who loved his younger brother.
Gu Ge Lao seems to be inconspicuous and leaky, and Gu Qing's smooth entry into the pavilion is enough to prove that he is not easy to mess with.
He has both the status of a nobleman and the imperial examination, and the nobles and ministers of the imperial court will give Gu Qing three points of thin noodles.
Lord He carefully calculated that Gu Qing also had a lot of power, if he was the first assistant, the second assistant was very likely to be Gu Qing.
Didn't Emperor Longqing say that he wanted to reward the Gu family?
Gu Siye just forget it, it is just right to promote Gu Qing's official position.
No one knows how many officials' pigtails Gu Qing has caught in the Ministry of Officials for many years!
