Chapter 12 The Taishi Returns to the Dynasty

On the second day, Nalan Ci left the mansion early, because he had not been to the court for more than a month, and no one had been seen, so the ministers of the court and Nalan Ci faction came forward to inquire one after another, but they were all stopped by Su Jiu.

Seeing more and more people around, Nalan Ci turned around and left, but he always had to give an explanation to these ministers, so as early as on the way here, Nalan Ci explained to Su Jiu, no matter how the ministers thought about themselves, they had to say that they had stayed at the prince of the Taishi family for a month, and these people would ask questions again.

The ministers watched Nalan quit and left, and were just about to open their mouths to stop them, when they saw Su Jiu open his arms and stop them:

"Adults, what do you want to ask me, don't disturb the prince anymore, if the prince's temperament is on fire, who can afford it if we are here?"

Su Jiu's words were to the point, Nalan Ci was notoriously bad-tempered in the court, and he was afraid that even the emperor would tremble three times if he started a fire, let alone those of them who were courtiers.

"Master Su, this prince has not been in court for more than a month, although the emperor didn't ask anything, but you also know the situation of the confrontation between the emperor and the prince. This month, the emperor will also spend you, and you can want to envelop us in the court. ”

When Su Jiu heard one of the ministers say, his sharp eyes immediately fell on him:

"Master Li, what do you mean by that? Since the emperor ascended the throne, the prince can be very loyal to the emperor, there are major national events in the past, and the people have a rich life in the future, which thing is not for the prince to do. You have been under the command of the prince since three years ago, why, the emperor has taken a fancy to you now, and you have the heart to leave the prince? Don't use it for a hundred times if you are unfaithful, this is what the prince often says, you better think twice. ”

Su Jiu sulked, sure enough, Nalan had not been in the court for a month, and so many things had happened in the previous dynasty, which was really helpless. Su Jiu was angry and didn't know who to talk to, and these ministers even bumped into him by themselves, so he didn't blame him for speaking ugly.

Su Jiu turned around and strode away, and the ministers saw that Su Jiu, a big celebrity beside Nalan Ci, was annoyed, and they all followed, explaining sentence by sentence:

"Master Su, look at what this is called, we don't mean that."

"That is, Master Su, we both serve the prince and serve the king, and we are also colleagues among colleagues, you must not spread this wrong word to the ears of the prince."

The sound of a group of people talking buzzed in Su Jiu's ears, and Su Jiu was also annoyed when he heard it, only to see him suddenly stop his steps, and a group of people immediately followed suit, only to see Su Jiu raise his arm and point to Nalan Ci, who was walking not far ahead:

"My lords, if you have anything to explain, go and explain to the prince, Su Jiu is a rough man, he can only lead soldiers, fight and kill all day long, and he is no happier than you literati and ink writers, who can speak in a few words. You don't dare to say these things in front of the prince, and you say it to one of my subordinates, is it appropriate? ”

Su Jiu glanced at these people left and right, and shook his head, although he knew that they were not for their own interests, but they wanted to hug the big tree of Nalan Ci, Su Jiu was different from them, whether he was in power or a loose person, he Su Jiu was determined.

The Tao is not the same, Su Jiu sighed and strode away.

In the early dynasty, because Nalan Ci did not bring a message to the emperor, the emperor did not know that Nalan Ci would come to the court today. Walking up to the dragon chair from the apse, Nalan Yong was still happy, because there was no Nalan Ci in this month, whatever he said, no one dared to come out to oppose it.

But before Nalan Yong was happy for too long, as soon as he sat on the dragon chair, he saw Nalan Ci standing at the forefront of the ministers, and Nalan Yong's smile suddenly froze on his face.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers bowed down to Nalan Yong, but only Nalan Ci had his hands behind his back, his waist straight, and he looked at Nalan Yong with a smile on his face.

The corners of Nalan Yong's mouth twitched slightly:

"Brother Huang, you came to the early court today, why didn't you send someone to talk to Brother Huang in advance, the people sent to the palace in the past few days have been beaten back by you, I don't know what kind of stubborn disease you have, but now you are very well?"

"Heh, Brother Huang, my brother knows that you wish I had a stubborn illness soon, and it is best to die directly if I can't afford to be sick, so that no one can stop you from making great progress."

"Brother Huang, what are you talking about, you are my own brother, how can I hope that my brother will die of illness, this is unlucky, I can't say it again in the future."

"Brother Huang is wrong, the younger brother is the son of the filial piety emperor concubine, and you are the current queen mother, the eldest son of the former queen, how can the younger brother be born with you, this is just a matter of saying it in the court, if it is spread to the people, what do you let the people think. You are the honor of the Ninety-Five, and even if your brother has to be taken care of, he is just a prince. ”

As soon as Nalan Ci went to court today, he and Nalan Yong were full of gunpowder, and the ministers stood in place and secretly pinched a cold sweat. But just as the air was embarrassed at this moment, a thin voice of a eunuch outside the hall announced:

"The Taishi returned to the dynasty and entered the palace to meet ......"

When Nalan Ci heard this announcement, he immediately turned his head to look at it, obviously he got the news that Gu Yan would return to the dynasty ten days later, how could he arrive in Beijing today. Sensing that something was wrong, Nalan Ci turned to look at Nalan Yong again, only to see him with a smile on his face, and he actually got up to greet Gu Yan.

Although Gu Yan is a literati, he is resourceful, although he does not know martial arts, he is a good soldier and uses a good fighting method.

I saw that as soon as the eunuch's voice fell, a foot in black felt boots stepped into the hall, Gu Yan strode forward respectfully, and saw Nalan Yong coming down to greet him, and his steps were a little faster.

"Taishi, I got the news a few days ago that you will return to Beijing in ten days, and I thought that I would go to the city gate to meet you in person, but I thought about why I arrived today. It really surprised me and made me happy. ”

"Minister Gu Yan, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Master, please get up quickly." Nalan Yong stepped forward and helped Gu Yan, who was kneeling on the ground to ask for peace.

"After more than two years, now I see that the emperor is in good health, which is really the prosperity of the country and the joy of the people. I don't know if the queen mother and the queen are good? The minister asked the emperor for his life, and after the dynasty was dispersed, he could go to the harem to ask the queen and the emperor for peace. ”

"Everything is fine, everything is fine, Master Lao is worried. I remember that Taishi has a stubborn leg disease, and it is all his own family, so don't stand and talk. Come and give the master a seat. Nalan Yong's order caused a burst of embarrassment from the minister.

The early dynasty is a daily event, except for the dart cavalry general who made military exploits in the previous dynasty, and has not seen any Wenchen be treated like this by the emperor, but everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, the Taishi is the cousin of the queen and the queen mother's family, holding great power in the army, and now Nalan Yong is bullied by Nalan Ci like this, and he can only rely on the only backer of the Taishi.

Nalan Yong and Gu Yan stepped forward side by side, and after watching Gu Yan sit down, Nalan Yong sat back on the dragon chair.

Nalan Yong was still very happy about Gu Yan's sudden return to the court, but Nalan Ci was slightly worried about what Gu Yan said to him.

"Prince Rong has been doing well lately, I don't know if my family Jinzhi is good in the palace, can I make the prince angry in the past two years?"

"Everything in Jin is good, although he is anxious, but he has never done anything to make this king angry, and some willfulness is cute in the eyes of this king."

"I haven't seen the dog for two years, the minister and his wife are really worried, and when I return to Beijing today, I will set up a banquet at home, and I don't want to go back to the Taishi's Mansion to live, but please take the Jinzhi back to the house tonight."

Gu Yan's words fell, Nalan Ci did not pick up, but Su Jiu was anxious behind Nalan Ci:

"Taishi, the son who marries out is the same as the daughter who marries out, now that your son is a concubine in Prince Rong's mansion, how can you ask the prince to take his son back to Taishi's mansion?"

There is also a reason why Su Jiu is anxious, now the person in the palace, where is the son of the prince, after looking at it for so long, Su Jiu knows that this stand-in is very different from the original Gu Jinzhi, Gu Yan is such a shrewd person, if he meets, he will definitely find clues.

Su Jiu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Nalan Ci in time. Su Jiu shouldn't have said much, and Nalan Ci also knew what Su Jiu was worried about, so he didn't blame him much. If he took Gu Jinzhi to the Taishi Mansion, this matter would indeed be inappropriate, but if he said more, it would be rare for Gu Yan to be suspicious.

"Taishi, although Su Jiu is reckless, but this is indeed a courtesy, don't say that this king does not sell the face of the princess, the princess has been married into the palace for longer than Jinzhi, but since entering the mansion, except for the three-day return period, she has never entered the house for half a step. With the princess in front and above, even if the king loves Jinzhi again, he can't let him overpower the princess. ”

Nalan Ci's words brought out Lin Baiqiu, so as Lin Baiqiu's father, Prime Minister Lin Cheng also had to say a word for Nalan Ci. In addition, the prime minister has not seen his daughter for a long time, so he must not let his son overpower his daughter in the palace because Gu Yan can fight against Nalan Ci.

"The prince is polite, Master Gu, I haven't seen my daughter for a long time, if I wasn't invited by the prince to enter the mansion last time, I'm afraid I won't see how my daughter is doing. Mrs. Benxiang also hasn't seen her daughter for three years, and she is also a father, although your family is a son, and my family is a daughter, but they are all married into Prince Rong's mansion, and your son is a concubine, so you still can't overpower the rules of the main room. ”

Gu Yan looked at the prime minister, and then at the expressionless Nalan Ci and smiled:

"I was thinking of getting together with my son, but I forgot that there are many rules of the heavenly family, but the old minister was negligent, and this matter is over, if the prince is gracious, he will summon the old minister into the palace one day, and I hope to add a lady's name to the will, our husband and wife have a son, and we haven't seen our son for a long time, and I really think about it in my heart."

"Don't worry, the king remembers."
