Chapter 153: The New Emperor
Rest House.
Lie Hongwen let go on the soft collapse, looking at the person kneeling in front of him, his heart felt a little relaxed, and he could finally unload this burden.
In fact, the thing I am most worried about is Lie Hongshuo. I was very worried that he would snatch the throne while he was away. In fact, if Lie Hongshuo was a good one, he might directly divide a city for him as he did with Mo Xiao. However, this person is ambitious, but he has no ability. Although the people around him are good, there are not many things that can be listened to, and he is also a troublesome person.
Fortunately, the court itself has been handed over to a credible minister, and there are also people from the Gu family in the military camp to guard the general town. In addition, the Yuan family is now considered to have a relationship with the Gu family, and this army can be regarded as stable, even if Lie Hongshuo wants to do it, he must weigh his own ability.
It's just that the rest of his sons are not fuel-efficient lamps, and this Lie Jinghao wants to ascend the throne smoothly, and there are a lot of things to accomplish. However, it is really inconvenient for me to say too much and do too much, and Lie Jinghao also needs to exercise.
"I have been in power for so many years, and I have always been conscientious. Now, it's time to leave. It is rumored that the third prince Jing Hao, I hope that all the ministers can assist him well and manage this flame sun well. ”
Lie Hongwen had become weak when he spoke, and the people kneeling on the ground were very surprised after hearing Lie Hongwen's words. After all, the person who has been performing best lately is obviously the eldest prince.
Now, it turned out to be the little-known third prince who has won the throne, which is really amazing.
Lie Jinghua is in a particularly bad mood, but what else can he do now? In front of all the ministers, he can't usurp the throne somewhere. It's good to say that you have succeeded, but you have no chance of succeeding.
Lie Hongwen seems to have been worried about this matter for a long time, so his brothers have no real power in their hands at all, and they have no capital to rebel. And the only one who is capable, but not qualified. In other words, before these brothers of his own are gone, there will be no chance. Therefore, even if Lie Jinghua was unwilling in his heart, there was no way.
Although Lie Hongshuo's heart is also very unhappy, it is not a wise choice for Lie Hongshuo's current strength and strength to rebel, because he can't fight against the regular army. Therefore, I can only endure it to the side.
As for Han Mingzhuo, who was once highly suspected, he was appointed by Lie Hongwen as an auxiliary minister. This made Gu Lingjin very incomprehensible, basically all of them were rewarded, but Gu Lingjin didn't move. It can only be said that Gu Lingjin was transferred from one place to another.
Although it was a transfer, no one underestimated Ling Jin.
He is still in charge of the city's defenses, and there is also the forbidden army of the palace. This line represents the royal family's trust in Gu Lingjin and the Gu family. It's just that these are all promulgated by Lie Hongwen, and I don't know what treatment Gu Lingjin will get when Lie Jinghao officially ascends the throne.
After Lie Hongwen stopped breathing, Gu Lingjin could clearly feel that some people seemed to be relieved, could they really breathe a sigh of relief at this time? Impossible, non-existent.
Because, there are still a lot of things waiting for Lie Jinghao to deal with.
Lie Jinghao, who officially ascended the throne and became the emperor, sat alone in the imperial study, and there was endless excitement in his heart, how many people were not excited to be able to sit in this position?
"Someone's coming!"
Lie Jinghao had a little plan in his heart.
"Your Majesty."
The chief eunuch who followed Lie Jinghao was Weiyu, and after hearing Lie Jinghao's call, he hurriedly listened to the order on the side.
"Go, summon Gu Lingjin to come to the imperial study."
Lie Jinghao now finally has time to meet this Gu Lingjin properly, and wants to know what Gu Lingjin is capable of, so that his father has always told him that he must not snub Gu Lingjin.
"Yes."
Gu Lingjin felt that he hadn't been at home for a while, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva, so he was called to the palace again. Gu Lingjin suddenly envied those expatriates at this time, at least they wouldn't be tossed like this.
Mo Xiao looked at the person who had just come back and left, and really didn't understand why this emperor liked to rob people with him like this? It's been a long time since I've seen Gu Lingjin, and it's hard to see it. It's really a meeting, and the person is going to leave again.
"I don't even know now, whether this Gu Lingjin is my husband or not, it's so difficult to meet in person."
Mo Xiao said unhappily.
"Miss, shouldn't you be happy now? After all, after the new emperor ascended the throne, didn't everyone wait and see the emperor's attitude towards his uncle? Isn't that a good place to start? ”
Tong Tianyun didn't understand, this Mo Xiao was estranged and worried, and he was still worried when he was intimate.
"You know what, this thing is actually a very troublesome thing."
Mo Xiao sighed.
She didn't know why this new emperor was so interested in Gu Lingjin, since Mo Xiao knew that Gu Lingjin was in charge of the forbidden army, she understood that Gu Lingjin was completely tied up, and it was impossible for her to want Gu Lingjin to go out with her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, what happened to the thing I asked you to investigate earlier?"
"Miss, there's nothing wrong with the merchants you asked me to investigate earlier." Tong Tianyun said with great certainty. "Before, when we didn't come back, there was some activity in the capital. That's why those businessmen came together, and then they all left one after another. ”
"Is that so?"
Mo Xiao can understand that if there is any activity, the merchants will gather for profit. At this time, people may also buy a bunch of them directly because of the problem of the celebration, and they have done such a thing before, so they still understand.
"Okay, I got it."
Gu Lingjin, who was on the other side, took a deep breath when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, and adjusted his mentality. Think, no matter what happens, you have to be calm.
"Your Majesty, General Gu is here."
"Xuan."
Lie Jinghao watched Gu Lingjin come in, and his attitude towards himself seemed to be the same as his previous father's. On this, Lie Jinghao is still very satisfied.
"See the emperor."
In fact, Gu Lingjin's heart refused to see the emperor, but so what? Don't you have to come yet?
"Get up."
Lie Jinghao looked at Gu Lingjin and said.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you summoned your ministers to do?"
"The guards of this palace will be handed over to you in the future, and my safety will also be handed over to you, so you don't want to disappoint me."
Lie Jinghao has been worried about his safety recently, if he disappears like this, maybe his brother can take the throne. However, in the absence of any evidence, he can't deal with it casually, and he is also very aggrieved as an emperor.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Ling Jin will definitely protect your safety and ensure the safety of the palace."
"Gu Lingjin, are you curious, why did I summon you to the palace?"
Lie Jinghao wanted to know, what was Gu Lingjin's heart?
"The emperor wants to know Ling Jin's intentions, so he will summon Ling Jin into the palace." Gu Lingjin understood Lie Jinghao's thoughts. "Minister, there is only one sentence. I will definitely be loyal to the emperor, please rest assured. ”
Lie Jinghao always thought that Gu Lingjin was a person who could talk, but at this time, Gu Lingjin's words were not so good.
"Loyalty to the emperor is not necessarily loyalty to me."
Lie Jinghao looked at Gu Lingjin seriously, as long as the other party didn't say a word to him, then Gu Lingjin would definitely not have another chance.
"Your Majesty, what did you say, you are the Emperor, so you are naturally the object of my allegiance. No matter when and where, Ling Jin will definitely guarantee the emperor's safety. ”
Gu Lingjin didn't appreciate Lie Jinghao's coercion at all, and said his answer very calmly.
Lie Jinghao understood Gu Lingjin's words, and he would not be regarded as flattering, but also expressed his meaning very well. It's really good, and sure enough, he can talk.
"Actually, there are a lot of things I don't quite understand and need your help."
"The emperor is smart and wise, how can there be anything that needs the help of his ministers?" It's not that difficult. "If the emperor has any orders, Ling Jin will definitely do it well."
"Hmm."
Lie Jinghao nodded, this person is not bad, at least he still knows how to answer himself. Since his father has said it before, it proves that this Gu Lingjin is still loyal, since this is the case, there is no need for him to worry too much, at least there will be no big problems.
"Ling Jin, I believe you won't let me down, and the safety of the palace will be handed over to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gu Lingjin thought that he could leave this place completely, and when he returned home, he really found that he could relax a little.
"You're finally back."
The flowers that Mo Xiao was waiting for at home were all gone, and now that Gu Lingjin has finally returned, the big stone in Mo Xiao's heart has finally been put down.
"Did something happen, why did you ask to go to the palace?"
Mo Xiao was a little worried about Gu Lingjin, worried about what was going on in the palace, worried that Gu Lingjin might be burdened with some messy things, and there would definitely be no time to go home when the time came.
"Nothing is happening at the moment, but I'm sure it won't be that simple." Gu Lingjin thought for a moment and said. "The matter of the first emperor has not been completely resolved, because it is to be left to the new emperor. Therefore, it will not be peaceful in the short term. ”
After listening to Gu Lingjin's words, Mo Xiao thought that he had ignored this matter, which was really undeserved. It seems that Gu Lingjin is going to be home again at night, so what should he do when he comes back?
"Why are you unhappy?"
Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao's expression and asked curiously.
"I thought I would see you when I came back, but I didn't expect me to come back, and you're busy. If I had known, I should have come back at the right time. That way, you'll have time to pay attention to me. ”
Mo Xiao told the truth.
Gu Lingjin really didn't expect things to be like this, but he really had no way to promise this, because the emperor might have something to find him at any time, and he had to be on call.
"Well, you don't have such a guilty face. I know that's not what you want. Moreover, you have to do this thing, who made you now a close minister of the Son of Heaven, a celebrity in front of you. ”
Mo Xiao said with great certainty.
"I'm worried that you'll be someone else's target when the time comes."
In the beginning, Mo Shino's idea was simple. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, when the new emperor ascends the throne, although Gu Lingjin will be reused, he will definitely not have any favor.
But everyone can't think of the result at the beginning, this Gu Lingjin suddenly became the person in charge of the forbidden army, even if the new emperor doesn't like this person anymore, he will definitely rely on it more. Many people who have nothing to do with the Gu family have begun to scratch their ears and cheeks, just wanting to make friends with Gu Lingjin.
"Anyway, haven't I always been everyone's target? The good ones are the targets to chase, and the bad ones are the thorns in the eyes and the flesh, and I will be careful. ”
It's always been a life that has been targeted, in fact, there is no difference between it and before, since this is the case, there is no need to be cautious, just follow the previous life.
"You're wrong. It's not the same as before. ”
Mo Xiao knew that Gu Lingjin would definitely think like this, but in fact, this was not possible. Because the attitude of the emperor and the first emperor towards Gu Lingjin is actually different, Gu Lingjin does not have as much dependence as before.
After listening to Mo Xiao's words, Gu Lingjin didn't quite understand what Mo Xiao meant.
"Am I not right? The first emperor treated you and the current emperor treated you, is it the same attitude? No matter how good this Lie Jinghao is to you, it will not be the same attitude. ”
Gu Lingjin didn't have any more doubts this time, everything Mo Xiao said was right. Lie Jinghao is still defensive of himself, but unfortunately he doesn't want to have any opportunity to show his loyalty, because that proves that something has happened again, which is not the best result for himself.
If there was a choice, then Gu Lingjin would rather Lie Jinghao doubt himself all the time than want such a thing to happen.
"I know you've never been willing to face this, but it's something you can't afford to ignore. You still have to protect yourself well, and you must not let Lie Jinghao doubt you. ”
In fact, Mo Xiao knows Gu Lingjin best, and understands that Gu Lingjin is definitely not the kind of person who likes to violate his principles, so if someone really makes an idea on this, as long as the plan is good, Gu Lingjin will definitely be fooled.
"I see. Especially at this sensitive time, I will definitely be cautious. ”
Gu Lingjin understood the powerful relationship.
