"I don't know what happened to Jiangnan, whether she can handle it alone." Gu Huanli sighed in a low voice and drank all the wine in the cup.

After observing for a long time, Emperor Liang Qin always felt that Gu Huanli's expression was abnormal, and he couldn't help but ask him: "What's wrong with the fierce king today, why does he look sad?" ”

Hearing this, everyone stopped their movements and looked at Gu Huanli.

Not only was he drunk or really distracted, Gu Huanli didn't pay attention to it, but casually said, "Your Majesty is too worried", and then meditated on his own.

Seeing this, Emperor Liang Qin didn't say anything, after all, as far as he knew, His Royal Highness the Fierce King had always been like this.

But how can people who have a heart not take advantage of such a good opportunity?

Everyone was about to let this matter go, but Gu Ningbei relied on it to please Emperor Liang Qin and stood up again.

"This palace is a junior, and he shouldn't say anything about the emperor's uncle, but today is my father's birthday banquet, and the emperor's move is probably unseemly."

Hearing this, Gu Huanli immediately slapped Gu Ning with a knife in his eyes: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" ”

In the past, whenever Gu Huanli showed this kind of expression on his face, no one dared to say more.

But Gu Ningbei wanted to extract his teeth from the tiger's mouth, but when he saw this, his arrogance increased instead of decreasing, and he even took a few steps closer to Gu Huanli.

"What this palace means is that the emperor's uncle should be guilty of disrespect for his father so much in front of civil and military officials?" The more Gu Ningbei spoke, the more angry his eyes became.

Originally, no one would have said anything if this matter was indulged, but Gu Ningbei was so disturbed, if Gu Huanli was not severely punished, it seemed that it would really break the face of Emperor Liang Qin's son of heaven.

Gu Huanli didn't care either, so he let Gu Ningbei talk about it, and he didn't look at him with half an eye.

Seeing this, the ministers of Gu Ningbei's faction also stood up and reprimanded: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, and the murderous king really has no one in his eyes, so he should be severely punished." ”

It's really taking advantage of the tiger's lack of power, and at this time, some people dare to say in public that he is not Gu Huanli.

It's just that there is no need for Gu Huanli to speak, there will be people in the court vying to speak for him.

His Royal Highness the Fierce King has always acted like this, and no one in the court knows about it? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instigated so much at His Majesty's birthday banquet, could it be that he had other plans? A second-grade official of the Criminal Department who has been following Gu Huanli for a long time said.

Someone immediately retorted: "You are the arrogance that has always been connived up, and now you dare to slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this?" ”

"What does this matter have to do with the rank and rank? If it comes to respecting the elders and the young, the prince, as a junior, should not deliberately stir up trouble between His Royal Highness the Fierce King and His Majesty's brothers! "Gu Huanli's side is not admitting defeat at all.

The party in the East Palace was even more like Gu Ningbei, and the two sides spoke ill of each other at the birthday banquet.

After arguing for a while, Emperor Liang Qin couldn't bear to have his birthday banquet so disturbed, and he was suddenly furious.

"Enough!" Emperor Liang Qin roared angrily, and the audience was suddenly silent, and even the musician was so frightened that he almost broke the strings.

"They are all princes and nobles, what kind of system is the noisy shouting at the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven, don't you take me, the king of a country, in your eyes?"

Emperor Liang Qin's words were full of deep meaning, on the surface, he was reprimanding the two factions of eunuchs who were incompatible with each other, but in fact he was alluding to Gu Huanli's contempt for imperial power.

Seeing that everyone was restrained, Emperor Liang Qin looked at Gu Huanli: "Fierce King, today is my birthday banquet, what are you worried about?" ”

Gu Huanli didn't speak, still leaning on the desk by himself, looking absent-minded.

Seeing this, Gu Ningbei immediately stepped forward again: "Father, the son has already said that the emperor's uncle is ......."

Only this time, before Gu Ningbei finished his complaint, Gu Huanli had already stood up and showed a contemptuous smile at him: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say whatever he wants." ”

turned to look at Emperor Liang Qin, and said directly without even saluting: "Brother Chen's body is unwell today, so I won't displease Your Majesty here, and I will retire first." ”

After that, without waiting for Emperor Liang Qindi to agree, Gu Huanli was already angry and left angrily.

This can be regarded as cheaper for the prince and his loyal dogs.

When Gu Huanli was there, they were still disrespectful to him, but now that he is gone, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to say that he is a big traitor in front of Emperor Liang Qin, he is simply sorry for them for many years.

Naturally, it is still the East Palace who will be the leader.

Gu Ningbei came up and said, "Uncle Huang doesn't take his father as the king of the country in his eyes at all", which was exactly what Emperor Liang Qin said when he was angry, and instantly forced him into a desperate situation.

Seeing the prince's admonition, the East Palace faction echoed one after another: "The fierce king is really arrogant, and I ask Your Majesty to severely punish and correct the court." ”

……

For a while, there were different opinions, all of which were about Gu Huanli's evil deeds, and even mentioned what he had done before, intending to punish him for several crimes.

Although the fierce king's faction did not want to suffer this insult in vain, today's incident was indeed Gu Huanli's fault, plus he left the scene angrily, and the party members present were leaderless, so they could only swallow their anger, lest they be assassinated by the prince.

In such a short time, the emperor's birthday banquet that trapped Gu Huanli in Shengjing was not completed, and he became the target of everyone, which was a headache.

However, the headaches were all those who followed Gu Huanli loyally, and he himself didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Gu Huanli left the palace and hurried all the way back to the palace, and when he entered the door, he asked Lin Wei if he had any news of Lu Xuan.

Lin Wei hadn't received Lu Xuan's news, but he had already heard Gu Huanli's anger at Long Yan in the palace.

didn't have time to respond to Gu Huanli, Lin Wei asked anxiously about the birthday banquet, but Gu Huanli didn't answer, just blindly asked about Lu Xuan.

It wasn't until he saw the royal pigeon flying back in the distance that Gu Huanli stepped forward in a panic.

After carefully reading Qin Xiao's letter, Gu Huanli knew that Lu Xuan's situation was already more difficult than he feared, and he was immediately anxious: "No, this king must go to Jiangnan." ”

Hearing this, Lin Wei, who was already two big heads, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Your Highness, don't!" ”

Gu Huanli was furious: "You have already stopped this king once, and this king doesn't care about you, but if you disobey this king like this again, don't blame this king for not thinking about the love of master and servant for many years!" ”

After reprimanding Lin Wei, Gu Huanli still insisted on leaving, but Lin Wei simply didn't care about the courtesy of the master and servant, and then stood up: "Your Highness, go down!" ”

This sudden retort, Gu Huanli couldn't help but be stunned.

Lin Wei then said: "Your Highness has become the target of public criticism at His Majesty's birthday banquet, and now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at His Highness's words and deeds, His Royal Highness is going to Jiangnan at this time, you might as well imagine what kind of fate Lord Lu will end up with?" ”

Hearing Lin Wei's words, Gu Huanli couldn't help but think.

Now I am afraid that there are many people in the DPRK and China who are waiting to catch his loopholes, and if he is not careful, he may not be able to protect himself.

If she goes to Jiangnan again at this time to implicate Lu Xuan, not only will it not help her, but it will harm her.

Seeing that Gu Huanli was shaken, he must have finally listened to the persuasion, so Lin Wei spoke again:

"Your Highness has great powers, what needs does Lord Lu have, Your Highness can meet it, why do you have to go down to Jiangnan in person?"

Maybe this is what others say about caring and messing, Gu Huanli rushed to her before he could think of Lu Xuan being in a deep predicament.

At this moment, after being reminded by Lin Wei, he realized that it was not the best policy to go to Jiangnan in person, so he finally calmed down.

"You're right, it's the king's impulse." It's really the sun that comes out in the west, and His Royal Highness the fierce king will admit that he was wrong.

But fortunately, he came to his senses in time and has not made a big mistake.

Lin Wei knelt back again: "The subordinates are rude to the law, contradict His Highness, and ask His Highness to punish him." ”

Although Gu Huanli has an unprovoked temper, he can also distinguish right from wrong, since he knows that everything Lin Wei did was planned for himself, how could he blame him?

It's just that his heart is like a mirror, but he refuses to give in at all.

It is clearly an empathetic move, but when the words come to the mouth, it becomes a sentence of "don't take it as an example", which is really confusing.

However, his Royal Highness has always been clear about his personality, and naturally he will not have extravagant expectations in this kind of thing.

And Gu Huanli, since he was ordered by Lin Wei's words, he couldn't get off Jiangnan, so he had to ask someone to relieve Lu Xuan's current predicament as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, although Yuanshan County is far away from Emperor Shengjing City, the county government is also under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, and Gu Huanli must still be able to say a few words.

Thinking of this, he went to the criminal department without saying a word.

At this time, Emperor Liang Qin's birthday banquet was dissolved, and Zhao Kuo, the Shangshu who spoke for Gu Huanli in the Criminal Department, also returned home with a lonely face.

When he entered the door, he saw Gu Huanli sitting in the hall, and Zhao Kuo hurriedly stepped forward: "I didn't know that His Highness was here in person, so His Highness has been waiting for a long time." ”

Gu Huanli shook his head: "Lord Zhao is serious, it was this king who came to visit rashly, and he didn't have time to inform the lord." ”

"I wonder why His Highness came to the Humble House?" Zhao Kuo asked tentatively, although he had always obeyed Gu Huanli's orders, he was still jealous of this living Hades in the end.

Coupled with the fact that Fang had just "fought", Zhao Kuo was simply unpredictable about Gu Huanli's emotions at this time.

However, Gu Huanli was contrary to usual, and when facing Zhao Kuo, he did not have the ferocious aura of confronting Emperor Liang Qin and the crown prince.

I saw him step forward and say to Zhao Kuo with a kind face: "This king has come here this time to ask for something. ”

Beg? Zhao Kuo was almost suspicious of his ears, if anyone could help His Royal Highness the Fierce King on weekdays, it would be a blessing from the third generation, where would he dare to ask for it?

Zhao Kuo hurriedly leaned over to obey the order: "Although His Highness orders, the minister will definitely do his best." ”

In this way, Gu Huanli spoke: "This king wants to ask Lord Zhao to sell face and replace the officials of the Yuanshan County in Jiangnan with a batch. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo was immediately confused, why did he personally come to the door to beg him to meddle in the internal affairs of a small mansion far away in the south of the Yangtze River?

Zhao Kuo was puzzled: "Can the lower officials ask, why does His Highness want to target the officials like this?" ”

Gu Huanli's face sank: "Disobeying the county order and obstructing the case, Lord Zhao thinks it should be replaced?" ”
