If the words can reach Gu Nanye's ears, they can naturally reach the ears of other people in the capital.

The ministers who were afraid of Gu Nanye's high achievements were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood for a while, and the impeachment flew to the Yongdi case like a snowflake, and they all complained that Gu Nanye had bribed the military and public opinion, with bad intentions!

June 25 is the day of the three dynasties in January, and it is also the day when Gu Nanye was officially named the Marquis of Xiling.

On this day, all the courtiers and officials entered the palace, waiting to see the attitude of Emperor Yong.

Gu Nanye is a feudal official, rarely appears in the capital, and he is young and handsome, he stands among the middle-aged and elderly people, and he is particularly eye-catching.

Zuo Zhiheng, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, looked at Gu Nanye from a distance on the square in front of the Taihe Palace.

Zuo Zhiheng met him in a hurry at the military department last autumn.

At that time, Gu Nanye was promoted to the commander of the Xiling Army, and returned to the military department to hand over the military talismans, and the officials were very curious about this young man who had been promoted ten times in two years, and they were interested in making friends.

Everyone set up a celebration banquet for him, but he did not participate under the pretext of the urgency of the war, and left the capital in a hurry.

Since then, it has left a reputation for arrogance, nobility, and indesperation in the capital.

No matter what his reputation is, Zuo Zhiheng sincerely sighed, this young man who is only twenty years old and will be a marquis, has an unlimited future!

It's just that his future should not block the good luck of the Zuo family.

Gu Nanye was not friends in the court, standing alone, he quickly noticed Zuo Zhiheng's gaze.

After the two watched silently for a few seconds, Zuo Zhiheng took the initiative to walk over to him.

They are both second-rank officials, but because Gu Nanye is going to be a marquis today, Zuo Zhiheng still took the initiative to say hello to Gu Nanye although he was older.

"General Gu will win every battle, and he is really a good general of Yongguo. Today, the marquis is knighted, and Zuo Zhiheng, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, is here to congratulate the general in advance! ”

Gu Nanye didn't have a polite look on his face at all, and said coldly: "Zuo Yushi is polite, although Gu is in the frontier, he has also heard of Zuo Yushi's name, he is discerning, straightforward, and does his best to share the emperor's worries, especially the recent case of Jinling Taishou, I heard that from receiving the report to the judgment of exile, it has only been more than ten days, and it is really vigorous and resolute, and we are a model." ”

It was originally a sycophant, but it was said coldly by Gu Nanye, full of ridicule and threats.

Zuo Zhiheng's face became solemn.

The Zuo family and the Gu family have never had anything to do with each other, and Gu Nanye has no friends and background in the court, he originally thought that if he could win over Gu Nanye, he would unconsciously add a big boost to the concubine Niangniang and the two princes!

But recently, something happened in Jinling, and Gu Nanye was also involved, he was a little unsure of Gu Nanye's position, and now listening to his straightforward words, he was going to be the enemy of the Zuo family!

It is really rampant not to put the Zuo family, the concubine and the two princes in their eyes like this!

Zuo Zhiheng straightened his back, smiled, looked at Gu Nanye and said, "General Gu is really deaf and clear-sighted, then you must also know how many impeachment cases the Metropolitan Procuratorate has received." The emperor thinks that you have worked hard for the country and does not care, but we, who are courtiers, can't look at the emperor and blindly indulge you. ”

Gu Nanye smiled coldly and said, "Connivance? Because Gu Mou caused Zuo Yushi to say that the emperor was not, Gu Mou was really panicked. Lord Zuo might as well say these words in the court for a while, so that you can see that you are clear and upright. ”

Zuo Zhiheng choked and was angrily brushed by him.

The two exchanged words for a while, Gu Nanye didn't want to pay attention to Zuo Zhiheng anymore, turned around and walked towards the Taihe Palace.

Emperor Yongdi is over forty years old, but his body is not tough, he looks thin and thin, and his spirit is not good.

He was supported by the eunuchs to the court, and after receiving the bow of hundreds of officials, the Ministry of Propaganda and Rites crowned Gu Nanye, officially crowned the second-class marquis, 1,000 households, and 200,000 male soldiers in Xiling.

The courtiers were really uneasy when they saw that the emperor had given him the title he deserved and the reward he deserved.

Mu Qiang, a soldier in the army, admired Gu Nanye very much, and the people also began to sing praises to Gu Nanye, which shows that Gu Nanye is already Sima Zhao's heart!

But Emperor Yong didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, such a strong minister and weak monarch is a sign of troubled times!

As if he didn't know everyone's thoughts, Emperor Yong said with a smile: "Gu Qing has worked hard and made great achievements, and this time I got rid of the last prince of Qiu Qiong, which really solved my worries." This reward, talk about my heart, and hope that Gu Qing will take back the Guangming Pass in one go and help me unify the mountains and rivers! ”

Gu Nanye knelt on the court and asked for his life: "The Qiu Qiongyi army destroyed my mountains and rivers and deceived the people of our country, now the emperor is blessed, and the recovery of the rivers and mountains is in sight, and the minister implores my emperor to personally regain the Guangming Pass, so as to inspire the hearts of the army and the people!" ”

Driving the Expedition!

There was an uproar in the court for a while, and Emperor Yongdi was also startled, and said, "Let me go to war?" ”

If it was in the past, the courtiers would inevitably not follow, and would list all kinds of risks of the royal conquest and desperately block it. But now the Qiu Qiong Army has collapsed, and Guangming Pass is like an empty city, and there will be no danger.

The lively courtiers suddenly realized, no wonder Gu Nanye was reluctant to turn off the light, it turned out that he was waiting for the emperor to go up and pick the fruit!

What a flattering courtier!

Although Zuo Zhiheng knew that Gu Nanye was selling his way to curry favor, he couldn't stop it, it was better to let the emperor conquer it in person than to let Gu Nanye continue to make contributions!

"The minister seconded the proposal! Please ask the emperor to personally drive the expedition and end this five-year-long catastrophe with his own hands! Zuo Zhiheng took the lead in kneeling upward.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the news that Emperor Yongdi was going to drive the imperial expedition returned to the harem in a moment.

Zuo Guifei dropped the teacup in her hand in shock, and confirmed with the palace people: "The emperor agreed?" My brother seconded it? ”

Gonggong Hu, who was waiting in front of the emperor, nodded and said, "Yes, Niangniang, this is really strange." The emperor and the adults are now discussing the specific matters of the expedition in the Palace of Raising the Heart, Lord Zuo has not left the palace yet, does Niangniang want to announce to him? ”

Zuo Guifei calmed down, shook her head slowly, and said, "No, seeing my brother at this time will cause the emperor to be suspicious." You keep inquiring, and if you have anything else important, keep reporting it. ”

Gonggong Hu left in response.

In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the five elders of the cabinet, the six Shangshu, and the twelve guards of the Beijing Army, crowded a room of people, clamoring for the details of planning the imperial expedition.

Everyone present is a person who can take charge of himself, and everything on the side is settled, but for the newly promoted Xiling Hou, I don't know how to settle it.

Let him accompany the emperor on the expedition? The west is his territory, and the 200,000 Xiling troops are at his disposal, how dare they send the emperor to him?

Leave him in the capital? The emperor will take away most of the Beijing army when he leaves Beijing, and the backyard is open, so how can he rest assured that he will be left alone in the rear?

It's not with it, it's not with it, everyone is arguing, and in the end they can only ask the emperor to make a decision.

Emperor Yongdi was already in poor spirits, and his head hurt by everyone's noise, so he just wanted to end it early.

"Don't ask me, you go and ask him, and you will know what he is going to do."

Everyone suddenly realized and said, "The emperor is wise, it's time to test Gu Hou's meaning." ”
