Gu Changming found that the emperor's gaze was approaching, and he couldn't help it perfunctory, and the meaning couldn't be clearer. Even if you don't want to be an official in the court, can't you share the emperor's worries?

The current matter involves a lot, and if the Song and Liao countries are to make a truce because of their relatives, it can be said to benefit the people. Gu Changming had to speak: "The grass people have the honor to meet with the Liao Holy Sect a few times, and this one is definitely not a brave and unscrupulous person. Although the losses were huge, they must have been conceived. Then the biggest possibility is that the child is reluctant to trap the wolf, if the Xiao family does not cooperate with the Liao Shengzong, maybe the Liao Shengzong will say a word, the Xiao family is not favored, and will fall directly into the quagmire, and there will be no day to turn over. ”

In the same way, although Liao Shengzong sacrificed a lot, the throne was more stable. In the long run, this move is quite subtle. Song Renzong showed a look that seemed to be smiling, and threw the silk paper on the bookcase.

Gu Changming reacted very quickly, and hurriedly caught it with both hands. waited for the emperor to open it and take a look, and then cautiously unfolded the silk paper slowly. Song Renzong was very satisfied to see that his calm eyes had changed: "It is said that you are at the scene of the crime, even if you have never been in contact with the suspect, through many clues, you can guess the person's description and appearance." Therefore, I believe in your vision, and I believe in what kind of person the Liao Shengzong you are describing. ”

Gu Changming stood up from the chair, bent over and saluted: "These small carving insect skills of the grass people dare not show off in front of the emperor. ”

"Solved a lot of homicide cases, saying that the carving insect skill is too wronged for you." Song Renzong raised his chin slightly, "The handwriting on the silk paper has been confirmed to be written by Liao Shengzong himself, and I think it is very interesting." ”

"He begged the emperor to ask the grass people to go to Beijing as officials." Gu Changming was very sure that he could read every word on the silk paper very clearly, and it was exactly like this, and he couldn't figure out the mind of the Liao Holy Sect. Is this too thirsty for talent, or does it make the emperor suspicious of him from now on.

"Yes, I saw that it was the day when Pei Yonglun entered the palace to return to his life, and this stupid boy was really not suitable to stay in the court as an official. However, this errand was done well, and I rewarded him, and sent him to continue to go back to Eton to defend the country for me. Song Renzong obviously pushed this hot potato back, "I want to hear what you mean." ”

Gu Changming had no doubts, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled slightly: "The grass people don't look down on being officials of the Liao State. ”

Song Renzong's eyes were full of smiles, and it was obvious that Gu Changming's answer was very happy. He couldn't help but slap the desk hard: "Okay, the young man must have this blood!" Why does the Changming son of the Great Song Dynasty need to go to the Liao Kingdom to earn a good reputation, I like your words. ”

As everyone knows, Gu Changming's back is rarely cold. In front of the emperor, if you say a wrong word, you will lose everything.

"In that case, I'll put aside the heart that wants to keep you for a while. You are willing not to serve the official but serve me, I have nothing to do with it, but you regret it in the future, and there is no real evidence for the promotion of the official rank. Song Renzong's mood was good, and his face was much more relaxed, "Three days ago, when you arrived at the imperial study, I was very unhappy in my heart, do you know what happened?" ”

"The grass people escorted the third princess all the way north, and returned to Kaifeng Mansion for only a few days, and they recuperated behind closed doors, and they never even stepped out of the courtyard gate." Gu Changming sold it well, and he didn't need to do two sets of the same means, so he directly said that he didn't know.

"Also, before the news came out, Kaifeng Mansion died." Song Renzong seemed to mention this matter, and many emotions surged up, "You don't have an official position, and I told you that, but it was only to add to your troubles." You have already shared your worries about me, and when I look back and see Gu Wuduo, I want to praise you a few words. ”

Gu Changming's lips moved, he really wanted to take advantage of the emperor's good mood and ask the emperor if he didn't trust him enough, and even wanted to borrow someone else's hand to hold him, and then calculate his father?

However, looking at the look in the emperor's eyes, it was like a bird about to spread its wings and fly, and it instantly gathered its momentum and gradually dimmed. Gu Changming didn't want to think much about the emperor's true intentions towards their father and son, his father had already resigned, and he had not yet entered the office. The people in the world, who is unwilling to act for the emperor.

If the emperor only treats them as ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I see that your Liu Zhuxue is in love, and when her family changes, you are also by her side?" Song Renzong changed the topic lightly, and never asked Gu Changming to tell him about confidential matters.

Gu Changming didn't want to hear the emperor's secrets, but the topic that was unfolding at the moment made people even more uncomfortable: "When Miss Liu went out with Master Dingyuan, she had a relationship with the grass people. There was a sudden change in her family, and if the grass people stood by and watched, then when her father came back, he would also reprimand the grass people for being ruthless and unjust. Later, she was homeless and temporarily lived in Gufu with her sworn sisters, just as a foreigner. ”

Song Renzong listened to it with relish, and said that Gu Changming would have to speak, and he understood it. It's obviously a tricky question, but it can be said clearly in three words. First of all, Liu Zhuxue has no selfish relationship with her, and secondly, she is a temporary resident of a foreigner, even her former colleagues should also help, and in the end, Liu Zhuxue is not borrowed alone, and there are sisters who are traveling with her.

The relationship between the two was clean, and Song Renzong smiled again. It was originally a temptation, but that day, although the two had a deep friendship and a tacit understanding with each other, they still didn't feel like lovers. Once Song Renzong was sure, he breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Zhuxue is a nail pierced in her heart in front of the Queen Mother, if Gu Changming has a relationship with her, the two will definitely be together, and the Queen Mother will definitely be twisted, and it is not convenient to say it directly.

If the two of them didn't have that layer of love between men and women, Gu Changming would naturally have a better marriage arrangement in the future. And Liu Zhuxue should leave Kaifeng Mansion and never want to see him again.

"That's because I'm too worried, the Gu family is strict, I should think that you won't be the kind of temper that is determined for life." Song Renzong came again to ask if he had carefully checked the list of rewards, did he have any special favorites?

Gu Changming was really in no mood to look at those, just a casual glance. He planned that the emperor might ask, and now said that the inkstone in the list was what he had always wanted to find. Now it is a gift from the emperor, and the meaning is more and more extraordinary, staying in the study, using it from time to time, seeing things like seeing the king.

Song Renzong was once again pleased: "If you want something in the future, come in with a word, I have it here, just come and get it." Alright, I was just talking to you young people, and I won't keep you for long, so let's go back. ”

Gu Changming got up and saluted, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, has the emperor ever seen the case file of the female corpse in the river that the grass people encountered in Quyang County?" ”

Song Renzong was a little tired, waiting for him to leave and take a nap to recover his strength. When I heard about the case of the female corpse in the river, my eyes lit up suddenly, and the others couldn't care about it first: "I haven't seen this case, did you solve it locally?" Let's talk about what's going on? ”

Gu Changming used the method of throwing bricks and attracting jade, and stood and told this strange case in Quyang County from beginning to end. casually concealed the names of Liu Zhuxue and Dai Guozi, and deliberately repeated the three words Sun Youxiang several times to test the emperor's reaction.

"Are you saying that the local Master Sun is a good official?" Song Renzong was a little disapproving, "If a good official can't even solve a local murder case, what kind of parent official can he be?" ”

"Your Majesty, this case has clearly been solved." When Gu Changming saw the emperor's appearance, he clearly had never heard of Sun Youxiang's name. Then the case of Sun Youxiang being arrested from his hometown was not handled by the emperor. In this way, Lord Sun will not lose his life immediately.

"That's not the master of Sun who solved the case, but your credit." Song Renzong had no impression of these small local officials, many of them drew their names directly from the previous imperial examinations and took office, and after many years, few were able to be promoted, and many remained in their original positions, so where could they remember all their names.

"It was Master Sun who trusted me passing by at that time and agreed to let me participate in solving the case, so that the case could be solved." Gu Changming explained very clearly, "If Master Sun insists on going his own way and does not allow outsiders to interfere, then I will not say that he is a good official today." ”

"You seem to have some truth in saying that." Being a good official also means making good use of people, although the Gu family's father and son are not officials of the imperial court, Song Renzong will also send them to do important tasks, comparing his heart to his heart, he began to feel that Sun Youxiang is indeed not the kind of old and rotten head, "The case was solved locally, and it was not a murder case." If it is not reported to me, I should also reward this Sun Master Book. ”

"Soon after the incident, Master Sun resigned and returned to his hometown because of his personal willingness." Gu Changming was very sure that the person who arrested Sun Youxiang to Kaifeng Mansion was definitely not the emperor, so he was really said by Dai Guozi, and it must have something to do with the gold case.

"Another resignation?" Song Renzong suddenly thought of something, flipped it out, and carefully checked the roster of officials who had been transferred from various places within a year. Sure enough, I saw Sun Youxiang's name inside, "This person is only more than forty years old, he shouldn't have resigned early, is it because he is not in good health?" ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people heard a piece of news. Although this Sun Zhushu has resigned and returned to his hometown, some people did not forgive him, chased him to the countryside, grabbed the person, and escorted him back to Kaifeng Mansion. I'm still on the way, I'm afraid it will be there today and tomorrow. "Gu Changming is out of the way, and the emperor can only intervene to save Lord Sun's life, otherwise he won't even know who the opponent is, and when Lord Sun is killed silently, there is no place to buy the regret medicine.

"And so on!" Song Renzong immediately summoned the little father-in-law who was guarding outside and wrote Sun Youxiang's name to him, "Quickly go and find out what happened to this person, has he committed any crimes, and is there any record of being imprisoned?" ”

Although the little father-in-law is unknown, when Gu Gongzi and the emperor have a very happy conversation, how can such a person be born. didn't dare to ask more questions in front of the emperor, so he hurriedly took the order and left.

"If such a big movement is needed to commit a crime, it is definitely not a trivial matter, and there is someone in Kaifeng Mansion who must know about it." When Song Renzong said this, he couldn't help but grin when he thought of the big black and fat head, "Can you guess who it is?" ”

Gu Changming replied in a low voice: "Lord Bao." ”

"If Bao Zheng knows about this, then you don't have to meddle." Song Renzong's eyes narrowed slightly, "If Kaifeng Mansion Yin had never heard of it, I would personally arrange for you to dig out this Sun Youxiang and see what he had done to make others behave under my nose." ”

Gu Changming never doubted that Sun Youxiang's case would fall into the hands of Lord Bao, what the emperor said was that if it was in the hands of Lord Bao, there was no need to worry. Those who commit crimes cannot be avoided, and the innocent will not be wronged.

"During Gu Wuduo's tenure, I heard that he had some disagreements with Bao Zheng?" Song Renzong left Gu Changming behind, "Obviously, the two of them can become my right-hand men in the court, why do they make a posture of not getting along with each other?" ”
