Chapter 115: Undercurrent Surging (Part II)
Although it was night, the lights on Buzheng Street were still bright, many dignitaries and dignitaries gathered together, and His Royal Highness the new crown prince Gu Xuan feasted guests here, obviously to create a new atmosphere in the capital, and on the contrary, there was a place not far away that was also holding a small meeting.
The Jiangzhou party, all of whom were children of the family, spontaneously met in the Chu Wang's Mansion where Gu Hai was located to discuss countermeasures, and the cause of all this naturally originated from the morning court meeting, which brought all of them a deep sense of crisis, and they couldn't take it easy.
Of course, for the time being, they haven't come up with any good ways, they only have the ordinary means of the previous party struggle in their stomachs, which is nothing, after all, although the kid is not very old, but the people standing behind him are all old people in the officialdom, and they have been in the capital for half their lives, and they don't know what the number of bad roads is, if they follow the ordinary method, they will definitely return in vain.
At the moment, they are just huddling together to keep warm, cheering each other up, tying each other up, hoping to work together to tide over the difficulties, according to their words, even the most difficult times have passed, this kid will not be more difficult to deal with than Gu Cang back then.
Due to the fact that there are a lot of things to prepare in advance after that, it is not as loud as the momentum over there, which is almost equivalent to the celebration banquet, the small banquet here disperses very early, and these officials and masters all go back in their own carriages, and in the huge mansion, only Gu Hai is left alone in the house sulking.
He really didn't understand, how did Gu Xuan's kid hit a shit luck, picked up such a big cheap one for nothing, and gave birth to him as a talent, rich in strategy, but he was so unlucky, he was trapped in Jiangzhou for several months, and he couldn't use any means, resulting in nothing being accomplished, and he was implicated by the He family in turn, and now he has not been able to leave a good impression on his father.
I thought that the damn second child had finally met the king of Hades, and then it was his turn to make a big show for Gu Hai and fight for the prince, but he didn't expect to be cut off halfway by Gu Xuan's kid, why is this?
His boy has only been back for a few days, and his father has directly given him the position of prince, this kind of grace, I am afraid that he will not let it go more than the second child back then, what is it, is it the "kung fu" of Concubine Li's mother, so that the father is so subservient that the kid was able to cling to the relationship and get the attention of his father?
"Mud-legged bitch!
He slammed the table hard, and at the same time couldn't help but curse hatefully, his heart became more and more angry, but there was nowhere to vent, after all, no matter how stupid, arrogant, and arrogant, he knew that now was the time for Gu Xuan to gain power, how could he openly find trouble with him.
Gu Hai continued to scold for a while, pursed his lips, and was about to ask the subordinates outside to bring the concubines in the mansion, but this belly fire was vented on the woman, but he heard a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and then heard a powerful subordinate in his mansion, shouting softly outside the door: "Master, there is an urgent report!"
Gu Hai couldn't help but roll his eyes, and wanted to open his mouth to scold for two sentences to vent his anger, but he was worried that he would make a mistake, so he had to temporarily suppress the surging desire in his lower abdomen and the anger in his heart, Huo Ran stood up, opened the door, and said coldly with a calm face: "You'd better have something important, otherwise, heh!"
The man was taken aback by his threatening tone, although he was a little confused, and he didn't know what was going on, but he also knew that his master was such a moody character, so he had to secretly say that he was unlucky, and he just touched the other party's moldy head, but now he had to bite the head and whispered: "Master, there is an old servant outside, who said he wanted to see you." ”
An old man?
Gu Hai's face was cold, and he just wanted to scold this uninteresting subordinate, but after thinking about it, that kid is now in power, and he can't do anything about him for the time being, so he should appease people's hearts and stabilize his own position first, so he suffocated the swear words that came to his mouth again, waved his hand instead, and said bluntly: "Who?
After tossing around inside and out, most of the anger and lust in his stomach have disappeared, Gu Hai scolded secretly in his heart, he really poured eight lifetimes of mold, these beautiful concubines have not enjoyed much when they came back, and they have been worried about other things, so that there are rumors outside that he is "not good", and he was about to turn his head back to the room to rest, but the subordinate standing behind him said tentatively again: "Master, he claims to be from the night family." ”
Before Gu Hai could react, his tone was very disdainful, and he didn't look back and said, "Yejia? Which night。。。。。。 ”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, grabbed the shoulders of his subordinates, and asked sharply, "Which night house is it?"
The man's shoulders were caught by him, but he didn't dare to dodge, so he had to shrink his head and replied with a wry smile: "Master, our capital is just a night home." ”
Gu Hai let go of his hand slightly, frowned slightly, and pondered, "Ye Zhihuai, why did he come to me?"
As soon as he mentioned this night Zhihuai, he was angry, you said that you are a good court official, and you can be regarded as a half-wealthy family, and you have been an official in the capital for three generations, and you don't support the orthodoxy of your family, but since more than ten years ago, you have been standing firmly behind the mud leg and being a dog for him.
And this old thief, today in the court, even openly stood in line, refuted their Jiangzhou party people, and this shot, it directly involved a lawsuit, speaking of which the kid and him Gu Hai are related, after all, they all have the blood of the He family, this is not suitable for help, and it is also his subordinates, if he does not save him, it is easy to make other people feel cold, he is worried about this, he did not expect that at this time, the culprit would come to him.
While his master was still stunned, the man quickly rubbed his shoulders first, grinned his teeth, and said helplessly: "Master, this, this, we don't know this, right?"
Gu Hai frowned, thought about it carefully, and secretly said that this old thief is here to apologize?
Yes, although in order to show his face in front of that kid and earn some status for himself, that night Zhihuai was a good start, but when I thought about it, it was completely unnecessary, this must be an apology to myself.
Gu Hai is such a person, he feels extremely good about himself, and he can't find a reason to think about it left and right, so he subconsciously thinks about things in his favor.
"Alright, let him in!"
The subordinate was relieved, hurriedly clenched his fists and agreed, then turned around and walked away quickly.
After a while, he led the old housekeeper of Yezhihuai's family back, this housekeeper has been renamed since Yezhihuai's father's generation, and he is Ye'an, he is the old housekeeper of Yefu for decades, and he is also one of the few people who is more trusted, and he is the most suitable.
As soon as Ye An met, he knelt on the ground in a proper manner and made a big salute, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "Good night, old slave, meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"
Gu Hai waved his hand, and said coldly with some impatience: "Did Ye Zhihuai send you?"
For His Holiness, a servant in an ordinary official's mansion is never qualified to look directly at a king, so Ye'an kept his head down, didn't dare to raise his head, and just replied honestly: "Back to the King of Chu, it is indeed the old slave sent by the old master." ”
Gu Hai was suddenly a little angry, and secretly said What is my Gu Hai's identity, although you know that Huai is a secretary of the ministry, isn't it just a dog raised by our Gu family, you are good, you dare to send another dog to send your master.
"What about himself? Why didn't he come himself? Why, did he look down on this king, so he sent a little minion to test this king?"
Ye An secretly said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really moody, fortunately, before leaving, the old man specially reminded himself, and hurriedly said at this moment: "No, the old man is precisely because he has important matters to discuss secretly with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and it is not good to disclose his whereabouts, so he sent the old slave to invite His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”
Although Gu Hai was a little puzzled, he still said sarcastically: "Ye Zhihuai himself attended a big banquet on Buzheng Street, and he sent such a little minion as you to find this king, what is the reason?"
Ye'an didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stretched out his hand, took out an envelope from his arms, handed it to the other party, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, acting so low-key, it's all to avoid people's eyes and ears, the old man has a letter specially explained to the old slave, asking the old slave to hand over to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, saying that Your Royal Highness will know at a glance." ”
Gu Hai was stunned, stared at the old man in front of him for a long time, and then took the envelope suspiciously, tore it directly, and then took a closer look at the lamp placed in the living room, his face first went from doubt to shock, and finally to ecstasy.
"Smack!"
He put down the letter in his hand all of a sudden, pressed it on the table, his pupils contracted a few times, and then he focused, and after he was in a good mood, he even looked at the old servant in front of him much more pleasing to the eye, the corners of his mouth raised, and he couldn't help shouting: "Good, good, good!"
After saying three good words in a row, he got up from his chair and said impatiently: "This is very good, you lead the way, and we will 。。。。。。 immediately." ”
Before he finished speaking, he immediately changed his words and said, "No, no, you wait here for a while, and let this king change his clothes first." ”
Ye Anxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said that he was not dishonored, and then hurriedly hugged his fist towards Gu Hai and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please, the old slave is waiting outside." ”
Gu Hai agreed, and then ran away in a hurry, after all, a person like him, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, even if he changed his clothes, he had to let his subordinates serve, and it was impossible to solve it on his own.
It didn't take long to see a carriage slowly driving away from the Chu Palace
