Chapter 452: The Dark Tide Surge (Second Update)
Therefore, he must know the saint's illness so that he can prepare as soon as possible.
Among the four major courtiers, he and Lu Suiliang have always followed the saint, and he has always believed that although the queen of heaven has the strategy of the person in power and the courage of the hero, she is a woman after all, and the world will eventually fall under the rule of the saint, how can she obey the drive of a woman.
But he lost the bet.
No matter what, even if they lose, they must find a way to keep the Guo family, and they must not be allowed to fall into the fate of the Zhao State Mansion.
He suddenly remembered the matter of Siyang, the secret letter sent the day before said that the rumors in Siyang City gradually dispersed, but attracted many officers and soldiers to investigate, originally to investigate the origin of the rumors, but it was very close to the copper and iron mine, and the situation became more and more dangerous.
In the letter, the steward of Siyang asked if it was possible to sell the land, after all, the transportation is not passable now, the ship company does not accept the goods, and the officers and soldiers are very closely tracked, if they do not throw this hot potato out, they will soon be affected.
Guo Sheng was very hesitant about this matter, after all, the interests of copper and iron ore are huge, and it has been the cash cow of the Guo family for many years, but the current situation is very unfavorable.
If it was in the past, even if it was discovered, he would have a way to deal with it, after all, it was just a small Siyang, no matter what, he would not dare to go against the imperial master, he could also transfer the title deed to his subordinates, even if he was questioned, no one dared to pursue it.
But now that the saint is critically ill, he can't take the risk of sending a handle into the hands of Gu Qing and the others, so he can only break his wrist.
At this moment, he finally made up his mind to let the people of Siyang sell the two land deeds as soon as possible, and the copper and iron mine was abandoned.
Among the princes, King Chen Liuwang was the most silent, neither talked to Guo Sheng and others, nor joined the prince's not clever military opinions, his face was light, he couldn't see joy and anger, but his heart had already set off an uproar.
The saint is about to die, even if he doesn't stay in the temple to ask the imperial doctor's order, looking at the situation of Fang Cai, it is not difficult to guess that it is already in the waning days, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he is afraid.
What's more, although he woke up, his mind was not clear, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the court, so he couldn't speak for himself.
There are even divas watching from the side, as well as the prince and others.
He was finally on his own.
The news of the saint's awakening soon spread throughout the Taiji Palace, and the concubines in the palace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, especially the new ones who entered the palace, they didn't want to become concubines as soon as they entered the palace and be sent to the Xiaokang Palace to recuperate.
However, Gu Mingzhu did not calm down, the queen of heaven and the crown prince were still in charge of the government, she could only continue to take care of the affairs of the six palaces, and there was one more troublesome thing than before, that is, to stop the concubines in the halls who kept coming to greet the saint every day.
This is the order of the queen of heaven, the saint is not in good health, can no longer be disturbed, must rest on the couch.
But those concubines didn't understand, although they were a little afraid of Gu Mingzhu because of the previous incident with Yu Cainu, but after all, they couldn't bear to be anxious, and they had to say half-begging: "County Lord, we are really worried in our hearts, we are all looking forward to the saint's well-being, and when we heard that the saint has woken up, we are all in a hurry to come over, and want to say hello to the saint, let's go to the palace." ”
"We are willing to serve the sick and will not disturb the recuperation of the saints......"
Gu Mingzhu had to sing a black face: "Niang Niang ordered, no one is allowed to go in, you nobles should please go back, and then the sage will be well and invite you over." ”
No matter what they said, she didn't let go, like an iron plate, the group of concubines had no choice, so they had to go back full of resentment.
Xu Siyan looked at it, smiled and said to Gu Mingzhu: "It's hard to be the county lord." ”
Gu Mingzhu was a little tired, waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's also a helpless thing." ”
The saint is critically ill, this news is so important, a careless will make the court situation turbulent, the queen of heaven will never let people leak out, even if someone knows it, they don't dare to say it, but the concubines in the inner palace are not courtiers who have been through the storm for a long time, and they can't say that they will soon be panicked.
Of course, they will resent Gu Mingzhu, but Gu Mingzhu will not take it to heart, once the saint dies, they will only be a passing cloud in the Taiji Palace, and nothing will be left.
She raised her head and said to Xu Siyan: "There is a newly sent Zizhu, you can also eat a bowl of tea soup, you can go to remove the moisture." ”
It's March, and the rainy season is continuous, and even people are getting wet and sticky.
Xu Siyan thanked her, but she didn't dare to sit down in front of her, but she just ate a few bites sideways, and then said: "Niangniang ordered before going to the Taiji Palace, and I came back in a while and invited the county lord to come over to speak." ”
Gu Mingzhu only thought it was for the sake of the palace, and nodded: "I'll go over and talk back later." ”
It's just that when she arrived at the main hall, the queen of heaven called her to sit down beside her, smiled and asked her, "I'm afraid they will embarrass you today." ”
Gu Mingzhu chuckled and shook his head: "No, you nobles also care about the saints. ”
The queen sighed: "I think you also understand my hard work, after all, they are the concubines of the saints, and the ordinary palace maids are afraid that they can't stop them, so they can only work hard to wronged you." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't dare.
The queen of heaven said to her with a solemn face: "There is one more thing to discuss with you." ”
"I want to advance the marriage date of San Lang and Gu Sanniang, so that I can get married in the near future."
Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses, the queen of heaven was afraid that the saint would die suddenly, it was a national funeral at that time, and Li Mi, the king of Xian, would not be able to marry a wife within three years, so his marriage with Gu Mingyu could only be delayed, and the situation changed, and no one could guarantee that if there was no family affair, the support of the Gu family would not change.
That's why the queen of heaven will let the marriage date be advanced and the marriage will be completed as soon as possible.
She frowned and didn't speak.
The queen's face paled a little, and she smiled a little when she looked at her: "What, what's wrong?" ”
Gu Mingzhu came back to his senses, but he pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "No, I am thinking about the third sister's dowry and I don't know if the embroidery has been completed, if not, I have to go to Tianxiang Pavilion to ask a few embroidery girls to help catch up with the work." ”
There is no objection to that.
The queen of heaven smiled with satisfaction, looking at Gu Mingzhu more and more appreciation, she was a person who knew the times, and she could see the trick at a glance, but she didn't even ask questions, and she quickly made a decision, and she deserved to be the person she valued.
In fact, Gu Mingzhu also understands in his heart, the Gu family is now tied to the warship of the Queen of Heaven, rather than thinking about being forced to be a pawn by the bystanders, it is better to do his duty and truly become the indispensable right and left hand of the Queen of Heaven, so as to ensure survival in the next changes.
Her tone became brisk: "This is a happy event, when the mother chooses it, I will bring the news to the house to arrange." ”
The light on the queen's face dimmed, and her voice was a little deep: "Just three days later, getting married as soon as possible can also add joy to the palace and drive away sickness and evil for the saint." ”
Gu Mingzhu nodded, in this way, the king Li Mi has another filial piety, and it will be widely spread all over the world, and the consequences of the sky are really thoughtful, and she is not too much.
