The commotion in the study alarmed the servants who were waiting outside.

"Sikong, Sikong, what's wrong with you!"

Outside the door, the servant's exclamation sounded, and he inquired anxiously, and was about to rush into the study.

Su Chen's face was still indifferent, and he looked at Guo Sikong with a smile.

Guo Sikong's reaction was very fast, and he hurriedly shouted outside: "All stand down! The old man is thinking about important things, don't bother! All retreat and leave the yard!"

"Wow. ”

The servants withdrew.

Guo Sikong wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurriedly walked in front of Su Chen, and knelt under the mess all over the ground: "Old minister, please see Your Majesty!"

"Flatten. ”

Su Chen put away the folding fan, waved his hand, and looked at Guo Sikong with a smile.

Perhaps because of Su Chen's eyes, Guo Sikong swallowed his saliva and asked in a hoarse voice: "The old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, why did you visit the old minister's study at night.....

Guo Sikong actually wanted to ask Su Chen how he got in? Why did the huge Sikong Mansion and thousands of servants see His Majesty enter the mansion.

Your Majesty's means are so shocking!

But Guo Sikong didn't dare to ask, he pondered His Majesty's actions in the early dynasty for a whole day, and knew that His Majesty looked gentle and generous, but in fact he was very domineering and decisive, so it was safer not to displease His Majesty......

Su Chen seemed to see the doubts in Guo Sikong's heart, and said seriously: "I came in over the wall. ”

"Over the Wall......

Guo Sikong's silver hair trembled slightly, he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and his heart was very strange.

Your Majesty...... Will go over the wall???

I can't imagine what you look like when you climb over the wall, isn't that what the homeless scoundrels do, how can you .....

"I have nothing to do in the palace, and I heard my father-in-law say that Guo Sikong has a good way of governing the country and has a strategic mind, so my heart is itchy and unbearable, and I came here at night to find Guo Sikong for a long talk. ”

Hearing Su Chen say this, Guo Sikong realized that there was still a person standing behind His Majesty, who was the innocent old eunuch Liwanzi.

How to govern the country?

The emperor patted his courtiers on the back, which is not a good sign!

Guo Sikong smiled bitterly, hurriedly bowed his hand, and said: "The old minister is ashamed, he doesn't dare to bear His Majesty's praise like this, if Your Majesty is worried and asks, the old minister will definitely know everything." ”

"Hey, you're so polite. ”

Su Chen waved his hand with a smile and asked, "Having said that, I am very curious, why did you sigh just now and talk about my age?"

Guo Sikong was shocked in his heart, a little speechless, and hurriedly knelt down to confess: "The old minister is guilty, he shouldn't be alone in the mansion to discuss His Majesty, please give His Majesty the guilt!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

Su Chen waved his hand with a smile, and his attitude was very gentle.

But the more this is the case, the more Guo Sikong does not dare to take it lightly, he does not feel that His Majesty is a simple young man, His Majesty's actions in the court this morning have left an extremely shocking impression in Guo Sikong's heart.

"Your Majesty's visit to Sikong Mansion at night must be an important matter, the old minister ......"

Guo Sikong took a deep breath, and his mind kept thinking about the purpose of His Majesty's coming here late at night.

However, before Guo Sikong's words were finished, Su Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I just came to thank Guo Sikong." ”

"Xie Laochen?"

"In the early days of the Dynasty today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty persuaded me to sue for peace with the Orc Empire, but Guo Sikong was the only one with a resolute attitude and never bowed his head to the foreign race to compromise, and he really had the demeanor of a pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty, and I was very pleased. ”

Hearing Su Chen's evaluation, Guo Sikong's face was strange and he smiled bitterly.

Just for this matter, you visited Sikong Mansion at night?

To be honest, Guo Sikong didn't think that his attitude in the early court today was very resolute, he just answered His Majesty's inquiry ambiguously, which was very perfunctory.

However, since Your Majesty has praised yourself by name, you still have to give your Majesty face.

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his praise, and shared the worries of my Great Xia Dynasty, which is within the old minister's share, and His Majesty came here to praise him, and the old minister was very frightened. ”

"Three kilometers, what I admire the most is you!"

Su Chen smiled, opened his mouth to himself, and said lightly: "Before the death of the emperor, he once praised Guo Sikong vigorously, saying that among the three dukes, Guo Sikong was the only one who could assume the position of auxiliary minister. ”

"The emperor praised it falsely, and the old minister ......"

Su Chen interrupted Guo Sikong's words and continued to speak lightly: "I think that the emperor's words are true, because Situ and Sima were dismissed, and the corresponding ministers in the court are indispensable to assist me in coordinating the overall situation; ”

"Your Majesty, this ...... This is absolutely inappropriate!"

Guo Sikong's cloudy old eyes shrank suddenly, and he quickly knelt down, and said in fear: "The old minister is stupid, serving as Sikong is already the emperor's favor, the old minister can only barely support it, and the old minister does not dare to accept His Majesty's love!"

"Besides, the three public positions are gathered in the old ministers, and it is inevitable that there will be gossip in the court and the streets, and the old ministers will never have such great virtues and talents to serve as Situ and Sima!"

Guo Sikong's face was serious, his tone was panicked, and people who didn't know really thought that he thought that his talent was not enough.

"This is strange, in this world, there is still a saying that the right to be sent to the door is pushed out?"

Su Chen laughed, he was not surprised by Guo Sikong's refusal attitude.

"Your Majesty, the power of the world is in your hands, the ministers of the Three Dukes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are just your pawns, and you will share your worries for Your Majesty. ”

Guo Sikong said respectfully: "The old minister deeply feels that his talent is insufficient, and he is not enough to serve as Situ and Sima again. ”

"This sycophant is good, I can't see it, you have a high consciousness. ”

The smile on the corner of Su Chen's mouth became thicker, and he said lightly: "However, I have made up my mind, and you can't shirk this matter anymore." ”

"Besides, there's one more thing I almost forgot to tell you. ”

Su Chen suddenly opened his mouth as if he suddenly realized, interrupted Guo Sikong's words, and said: "Guo Sikong, I remember that Guo Tianyu is your only son, I heard that he can take a leave of absence from school in the imperial capital private school next month and return home;

"This ......"

Guo Sikong was stunned for a moment, not knowing why His Majesty suddenly mentioned his child, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly replied: "Guo Tianyu is indeed a dog, but the way to enter the official is purely nothing, the old minister's dog has read poetry and books since he was a child, has a resolute personality, and is determined to enter the government from the imperial examination; ”

"Yes, Guo Sikong really has a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he will definitely not fill his pockets! I think that the tiger father has no dogs, then Guo Tianyu should also have great talents. ”

Su Chen said with a smile: "No, I just sent someone to pick up Guo Tianyu in the private school two hours ago. ”

"Guo Sikong should be no stranger to the affairs of the new army in the imperial capital, right? Some time ago, I heard that Guo Sikong tried his best to insert people into the new army, no, there is no need for Sikong to worry, I think Guo Tianyu is quite good. ”

"Calculate the time, now he should be in the New Army barracks, I have given him the position of captain and personal guard. ”

Su Chen looked at Guo Sikong with a smile, and his tone was very soft.

But Su Chen's words made Guo Sikong stunned suddenly, and his heart was cold.

Guo Sikong, who was old and had a son, was particularly fond of his beloved son, and tried his best to cultivate his only son, and spent a lot of money to hire scholars in the imperial capital to teach alone.

It can be said that Guo Tianyu is Guo Sikong's life!

He has high hopes for his children!

However, His Majesty quietly took his only son into the barracks of the new army, why is this?

Don't...... Your Majesty wants to attack the new army?

No!

I'm afraid that the entire new army has already been in the hands of His Majesty, and Tianyu has entered the new army this time, I'm afraid that he has become a proton! This is Your Majesty's means of restraining me!

In an instant, Guo Sikong understood everything, his eyes widened at the boss, raised his head to look at His Majesty, and his lips trembled.

Oh my God, when did Your Majesty take control of the new army?

This is too fast and beyond everyone's expectations!

His Majesty asked me to concurrently serve as Situ and Sima in order to completely suppress and split the Three Princes, and at the same time, in order to ensure that I would submit to Your Majesty, he would find a breakthrough from Tianyu!

Your Majesty..... This is the character of my beloved son, and I will never put Tianyu to death because of this matter!

Yes, Guo Sikong knows that if he doesn't agree to His Majesty, Guo Tianyu ..... Absolutely going to die!

No wonder..... No wonder His Majesty was determined at the beginning, and he couldn't refuse at all, His Majesty calculated everything!

Guo Sikong stared at Su Chen with dead eyes, his eyes were complicated, both admiration, shock, and gloomy......

Your Majesty is fully prepared, and when you visit Sikong Mansion tonight, you want me to submit to him and submit to him!

The three public positions are blessed by one person, and then controlling this person is of great convenience and benefit to His Majesty's Imperial Court!

"Don't look at me like that, I don't like it. ”

Su Chen got up, patted Guo Sikong's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "I am a little tired, I am going back to the palace, tomorrow morning, I will issue an order and inform the world: Guo Sikong is also the third prince." ”

"I'm here to congratulate you, Guo Sikong. ”

"No, it's Prime Minister Guo. ”

Su Chen squinted his eyes slightly, glanced at Guo Sikong deeply, and turned to leave, but suddenly his steps stopped, and he didn't look back, but a faint voice came: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot again." ”

"I heard that two hours ago, Situ and Sima visited Sikong Mansion respectively, I think these two old ministers are a little unwilling, right?"

"I hope that Guo Sikong will grasp it well and don't do things that he will regret for the rest of his life. ”

Su Chen's chuckling voice came: "After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier." ”

Guo Sikong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled all over, the shock in his eyes was indescribable, and his heart was terrified to the extreme.

Even such a secret thing, Your Majesty knows about it?

"Let's go, get off the twister. ”

"Wow. ”

Liwuzi nodded respectfully, followed behind Su Chen, and left the study.

Su Chen never looked back, Guo Sikong stared blankly at the open and closed study, and the atmosphere in the study was silent and terrible for a while.

Until a long time later.

"Alas. ”

Guo Sikong sighed faintly, bowed deeply in the direction of the study door, threw himself to the ground, and his voice was soft, full of helplessness, firmness and respect: "Minister, follow Your Majesty's teachings." ”

He had to admit that he, Situ, and Sima all underestimated this new monarch of Great Xia.

Su Chen's means, courage, and wisdom are very accessible.
