Chapter 818: Asking for Merit (2nd Update)

Emperor Longqing now has a headache when he hears the name of Yongle Marquis Gu Zhan.

The pleasure I had just found from the woman suddenly dissipated a lot, and I asked the chief eunuch: "Is someone provoking Gu Zhan again?" ”

The chief eunuch shook his head slightly, "I didn't hear that the Marquis of Yongle was unhappy, Xu was for General Li, and recently the servants heard that the Marquis of Yongle was very happy, as if he was the one who won the battle." ”

Quietly looking at Emperor Longqing's expression, the chief eunuch continued: "Yongle Hou led the little princes to make a fuss, and the eastern suburbs almost became Yongle Hou's Yiyan Hall, and no one dared to disobey his wishes. The minion didn't understand where he got the courage, and he didn't dare to ask. ”

Emperor Longqing seemed to be smiling, rubbing his jaw, "No matter how lively the eastern suburbs are, there are constant disputes in the court?" My little princes are willing to play with Gu Zhan and celebrate Li Yong's victory, I don't think it's too much, but I am very happy, but the prince who entered the court to do an errand for me ...... None of them are as small as they are, and none of them make me feel at ease. ”

Gu Zhan is the person that Emperor Longqing fancies, so he naturally has to be pampered and protected, because of the matter of Dongchang, the eunuchs have never given up targeting him.

Emperor Longqing's position is very clear, he prefers to see the little princes playing with Gu Zhan, and he is not happy that the adult prince is fighting for power Gu Zhan is a little bit sad, but Gu Zhan is measured.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The chief eunuch's eye medicine was not good, and he knew that Gu Siye would continue to be favored for a while, and they wanted to take revenge on Gu Siye, so they had to continue to wait.

Gu Siye was helped into the imperial study by Gu Yao, Gu Yao curtsied, Emperor Longqing's eyes lit up, the bright girl in the city looked pleasing to the eye, even if he already had a holy daughter, he was still willing to take a few more glances at Gu Yao.

"What are you here to do? The eastern suburbs are not enough for you to make trouble? Didn't my princes obey you? ”

"Your Majesty, the princes are not obedient to the ministers, but rejoice in Li Yong's military exploits."

After Gu Siye kowtowed, he got up directly from the ground and took a few steps to Emperor Longqing's side, "What do you think, the sudden surprise soldiers attacking Datong are not handled properly by Li Yong, once Datong is lost, the cavalry can directly attack the capital, and ...... when the time comes."

"How?" Emperor Longqing's face was gloomy, "Could it be that you mean that I became the king of the dead country?" Can't even keep the capital? ”

"Gu Zhan, am I spoiling you too much?"

The chief eunuch secretly rejoiced, Emperor Longqing was so happy, Gu Siye finally violated His Majesty's taboo this time, and there was always a good show to watch this time.

"The minister is in the capital, and he will never let the monarch be frightened! Even if the cavalry arrives in the capital, the minister is the first person to die for His Majesty's loyalty! ”

Gu Siye puffed up his chest, "As long as the minister lives, no one can hurt His Majesty." ”

Gu Yao hung her head in shame, who gave the bear child the courage to say that?

Once the capital is in crisis, the first person to run away is Gu Siye!

But at this time, it was absolutely impossible to see that Gu Siye was lying.

With a serious appearance, he is like the most loyal and strong minister.

Emperor Longqing obviously didn't believe it either, the fan in his hand hit Gu Siye's skull lightly, and chuckled: "I never expected you to guard the capital and let you go into battle, I'm afraid that I will have to collect your body in the next moment." But it's enough for you to have this heart. ”

What an eccentricity.

Not only was the chief eunuch unhappy, but Gu Yao wondered if Gu Siye had given Emperor Longqing a curse.

Did he say anything, Emperor Longqing could think about the good side?

"Hey, hey." Gu Siye smiled, "The minister still keeps his head to please His Majesty, and keeps a useful body to accompany His Majesty to watch Hou Ye Lu retreat from the enemy." ”

"Gu Laosi, do you dare to play with me? I know that Lu Zheng is married to your daughter and is your future son-in-law, and there are so many civil and military ministers and princes around me, you only mention him, and you are already mad to invite merit for him! ”

"Your Majesty, who said that the saint did not avoid suspicion, the minister did not praise people indiscriminately, the deterrent power of Marquis Lu against the Mongolian and other barbarians is the strongest, and when I saw him, the barbarians' legs trembled three times."

Gu Siye's eyes were clear, "In addition to Marquis Lu's great victory over the years, only Li Yong won this battle, Your Majesty overrode public opinion that day, and canonized the title of Marquis Lu with military merits, which can be regarded as a show that as long as the world is for the country's military merits, no matter what the background is, he will be rewarded......"

"The minister thinks that this time Li Yong is not easy, thanks to His Majesty and Sheji, he is bleeding and sweating in Datong, but the capital is stuck with his reward, Li Yong's temperament does not fight or grab, only for His Majesty to be loyal, it is because of his heart that His Majesty will not be stingy to reward him."

Gu Siye unfolded the fan in his hand, fanned the wind for Emperor Longqing, and said flatteringly: "Right, Your Majesty? Chancellor guessed right, right, right. ”

Emperor Longqing pulled the corners of his mouth and said meaningfully: "It turns out that Zheng'er was mentioned to pave the way for Li Yong, Zheng'er has never been used as a stepping stone by anyone, and he is very filial to you." ”

"The minister didn't say that Marquis Lu was bad, people's hearts were biased, not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, the minister has always disliked Li Yong, but the minister also admired him, and couldn't bear to see him not be knighted."

Gu Siye was a little more rare, "His background can't catch up with Lu Hou Ye, and his training is far inferior to Lu Hou Ye and other generals, he has spent more effort than them to get to this point, of course, the training of the ministers is indispensable for him, otherwise he can't even find a famous teacher!" ”

"It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, Li Yong's experience is an example for hundreds of millions of people in the country, and his inspiration for ordinary soldiers from poor backgrounds is far better than that of Marquis Lu."

"After all, Marquis Lu is a genius, and Li Yong is just an ordinary person who works harder."

Gu Yao raised her head suddenly, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, these words were not taught by her or the third brother.

It's all summed up by Gu Siye himself.

Emperor Longqing was also very cautious, and Gu Siye was covered in sweat and hair standing on end when they saw it, "Your Majesty, the minister said something wrong?" ”

"Your father went early, and he should be the prince's teacher."

As far as Old Marquis Gu's ability to teach according to his aptitude, he can train Gu Zhan well, and the princes of Emperor Longqing are even more comfortable with Old Marquis Gu.

"You don't have to ask for credit for Li Yong, with his military exploits, I will give him a knighthood, but only if he ......"

Emperor Longqing pondered for a while, glanced at Gu Yao again, and sighed silently.

I just hope everything is framed.

Gu Yao keenly felt Emperor Longqing's mood fluctuations, "Your Majesty, the father of the courtier's daughter has a fist, even if his words are inappropriate, he also expects more capable ministers and generals to emerge in the country, after all, geniuses are very few, and the noble and low birth should not be the only criterion for promotion." ”

"There is a imperial examination for the selection of Wenchen, as long as you are willing to study hard, the poor students will also have a bright future, but the training of military generals depends more on the accumulation of Jiangmen, which is not fair to people of insight who have the heart to laugh at Your Majesty."

"Yes, yes, Yaoyao said what the minister meant, and the minister said so to her before he came to see you."

Gu Yao: "......"
