Chapter 41: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Gu Changming didn't want to listen to the secrets of others, especially in the palace, the more he knew, the easier it was to live a short life, and he was already transparent enough when he was about seven years old.

But the secret came out of the emperor's mouth, and it was different.

Among them, there is appreciation, and there is coercion.

One move and two ways to play, see how the opposite person is going to take the move? At this time, the emperor asked questions directly, and he didn't even leave anyone a little room for maneuver. If someone else is in front of you, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer anything.

Gu Changming only groaned slightly, and immediately said: "The emperor really doesn't want Qi Kunmen." ”

The corners of Song Renzong's eyebrows raised, waiting for him to continue.

"So I chose to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle." The little gourd was afraid that it was the biggest and deepest chess piece that the emperor had planted in Qi Kunmen, and even Gu Changming had no suspicion of this person. It wasn't until it appeared here, with more or less flaws from the past, that I felt that there were traces to follow.

"The bottom of the kettle is drawn, these four words are good." Song Renzong showed a slight smile, "The phoenix who is walking with you is also a member of Qi Kunmen, she should know a lot." ”

Gu Changming's face was calm, but the little gourd panicked: "Your Majesty, Qu Jingshan raised the little phoenix as half a daughter, and he refused to tell her more about many things, and even the identity of that one was never mentioned." ”

As soon as he heard this, Gu Changming knew that it was going to be bad, it was obvious that the little gourd and the little phoenix had always been friends, but the little gourd was willing to maintain it like this, but it was unexpected by Gu Changming.

"She's a good trick to coax you two to the point that she can only fit her in her heart." Song Renzong's words were very polite, Xiao Hulu's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say a word more this time, "What about that person, what about that person, he has already turned into white bones and mud in the soil, and I will really remember it." ”

Gu Changming felt that when every party mentioned Concubine Min, their emotions were extremely easy to get out of control, not only the emperor, but also his father. Although the little phoenix is clever, she is very ignorant in the affairs of men and women, and there is absolutely no such means.

But for the little gourd, he is not worried at all. Since the emperor is bent on eradicating Qi Kunmen, the little gourd is a key existence, even if he makes a mistake, he will not be punished, and at most he will settle accounts after the autumn.

Xiao Hulu kowtowed a few times in a row, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, instead of using someone who doesn't know the depths, it is better for me to take the old nest of Qi Kunmen in one fell swoop." ”

"Are you showing your abilities?" Song Renzong glanced at Gu Changming meaningfully, Xiao Gu was more calm than Old Gu, but he seemed a little impatient. So he slowed down his voice and said, "I know that you are loyal, and it has not been easy all these years, so there is no need to kowtow, this matter will definitely be handed over to you." ”

Gu Changming quickly calculated the account for Xiao Hulu in his heart, Qi Kunmen is not a small organization that fights petty, it is intertwined, I don't know how many unknown secrets are hidden, it is so easy to say where to end a pot. As soon as Xiao Hulu's words came out, it was equivalent to making a military order in front of the emperor, and Qi Kunmen could not be eradicated, unless he came to see him with his head.

Even if Qi Kunmen is eradicated, the little gourd has been in it for all these years, and it is inevitable that it will not be able to get rid of it, but it is not as good as the little phoenix who was able to draw it cleanly at that time.

Gu Changming is very willing to believe the words of the little gourd, Qu Jingshan is naturally a little different from the little phoenix, firstly, he looks very similar to Concubine Min, and secondly, after all, he has been adopted by his side since he was a child, and even if he is hard-hearted, he has some family affection in it.

Qu Jingshan said very little to Little Phoenix, except for explaining some tasks, he almost didn't let her participate in anything else, let alone the true foundation of Qi Kunmen, if you think about it better, Qu Jingshan is also a smart person, knowing that Qi Kunmen will come to this point sooner or later, it is better to let go of Little Phoenix as soon as possible and let her go back to live a peaceful life.

"I wasn't surprised to see you?" Song Renzong refocused on Changming.

"I was so surprised that I didn't know how to express it." Gu Changming probably showed the intersection with Xiaohulu in the past, "Because they are acquaintances, they are even more hidden, which I never expected." ”

"It is said that Changming Gongzi is very good at seeing people, and there are also those you don't see." Song Renzong was very satisfied with his answer, "Okay, since you understand my intentions, then first tell me the strategy you want to deal with Sun Youxiang." Go back, you meet Su Xu again, and he will explain other details to you. ”

Song Renzong waved his hand to the little gourd, the other party didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up and retreated, and when he turned around, he glanced at Gu Changming as if he didn't have anything, although he was also kneeling, his back was long and straight, and he was very handsome. His heart was sour, and he quickly shook his head and threw out this ridiculous idea.

"What are you thinking?" Song Renzong didn't wait for Gu Changming to speak, and asked patiently more.

"I am a little fortunate that the emperor's foresight saved many people's lives." Gu Changming didn't mention Sun Youxiang first, but read the true thoughts in his heart first, "What I was thinking in the prison at the time was that it would be a pity if these guards all died. ”

"Do you think they're innocent?" Song Renzong was a little surprised, this Gu Changming always doesn't play chess according to the routine, and when he looks at it step by step, it is very subtle.

"The opponent is Qu Jingshan, and they have no power to parry." Gu Changming said honestly, "The emperor knows this person's ability better than anyone else, how complicated is Qi Kunmen, he is in the Western Xia Kingdom thousands of miles away, and he can still settle and deploy these many people in the Great Song Dynasty." If he came prepared, the guards' abilities were limited, at least none of them were anti-water, so it was considered innocent. ”

"I was going to punish these people severely, and I can't see what kind of system a prison can become. As soon as you told me, I wanted to change my mind again. Song Renzong's patience was limited, and he couldn't wait, "Hurry up, how can you force Sun Youxiang to change his mind again?" ”

"Your Majesty, Sun Youxiang scratched his throat when he was in the prison, which caused him to be unable to speak at all in the later period, I guess there are other people he cares about in the prison, and he wants to show his heart." No matter how strong a person's will is, it also depends on whether he will be shaken spiritually. If you find that you are willing to sacrifice your life and forget about your life, and you have abandoned yourself, that kind of desperate state of mind is most likely to make people unstable and do abnormal things.

"I understand what you mean, and I will arrange it immediately, and you will go back to that place in an hour. When Miao Yu took you there last time, didn't show you the direction of the road? Song Renzong immediately called someone in, roughly explained a few words, and wrote a handwritten message, all of which did not hide Gu Changming's meaning.

Gu Changming always knelt quietly in place, waiting for the emperor to make proper arrangements, and when he turned around, he was very satisfied with his obedient attitude, and he didn't want to worry about some small details: "Okay, what I want is to be able to do things, not to kneel down for the president." Get up, go out and let Miao Yu draw you a topographic map. ”

Gu Changming didn't say that although the carriage they were sitting in at that time was impermeable, but he had lived in Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and there was no unknown road in and out of the city.

Sometimes, it's better to hide than to avoid suspicion.

"I really want that phoenix to go back to Qikun Gate." Song Renzong waited for him to retreat to the door before he said in a deep voice, "She is a good chess piece, the more Qu Jingshan takes her seriously, then he is easy to fail." Next, I want to see what you'll do? ”

Gu Changming lowered his head and was silent until he pushed the door out, stood in place and took a few deep breaths. The emperor means that Sun Youxiang's case is handled well, and the little phoenix can stay by his side, if it is not difficult, he may not even be able to keep this person.

Back then, even his favorite Concubine Min could be sacrificed, and on the throne, Gu Changming never believed that the emperor would have anything to bear. What's more, it's just a woman who is not related to each other, but the woman who looks similar is completely another person.

Although he was not a courtier, Gu Changming still felt a little cold. Suddenly, he realized that his father should have had the same idea back then, so he resigned from the official position of the Criminal Division when everyone was puzzled, and when the sun was in full swing, he retreated bravely.

His father's choice was not wrong, but he once again pushed himself to the center of the maelstrom.

"Gu Gongzi, what are you thinking?" Miao Yu saw that he had been in the imperial study for so long, and knew that this person must be about to be reused by the emperor, and his attitude towards him was even more kind and polite, "Phoenix girl and you are really a good match, if you change to other women, I am afraid that she will be restless in this palace, she is very rare quiet." ”

"You didn't eat and drink nonsense this time?" Gu Changming quickly adjusted his mentality, unwilling to show his flaws in front of outsiders.

Miao Yu was stunned by his words, and his face was embarrassed again, "Gu Gongzi rest assured, all the dim sum sent over this time was made by the emperor's imperial kitchen, and those people were chosen by thousands of people, and there was absolutely no one who dared to make a claim." ”

"With Master Miao as a guarantee, I don't have anything to worry about." Gu Changming followed behind Miao Yu, first joined the little phoenix, and then took over the topographic map from Miao Yu's hand, "There is Master Lao Miao." ”

"The emperor said it was just the two of you?" Miao Yu is really a little unbelievable, she spent such a big price, but in the end she handed over the key stick to two people who were not in the court at all, and one of them was less than her twenties, and she was a young girl who didn't know anything at all.

"If you need help, the emperor will arrange it separately." Gu Changming didn't mean to have a deep friendship with Su Xu, so he didn't bother to speak, and after saying goodbye, he took the little phoenix out of the palace first. In this place, he always felt that the little phoenix treated her with a little more time and a little more danger, which was better than Qu Jingshan at that time when he put down his words in Qi Kunmen, and wanted to capture her alive and go back to punish her severely.

"Brother Gu, is there something wrong?" The little phoenix really didn't speak all the way, until he left the palace gate, and even the guards who were guarding were far away, so he asked such a question.

"The palace is a place of right and wrong, you don't understand the rules, it's easy to have accidents, although we are running errands for the emperor, it's better to stay away." Gu Changming thought about it, should he tell the true identity of the little gourd to the little phoenix, and he didn't know that after the little gourd came out just now, he should have noticed that she was nearby, had he seen her?

"I actually don't like to enter the palace, if I can not come in the future, I would rather wait for you outside." The little phoenix saw Gu Changming walking in a hurry, "This is going out of the city?" ”
