Chapter 037: Unconscious
readx;? Before the ministers could speak, Gu Qingming knelt on top of the hall and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you really can't be confused by the demon concubines around you anymore! The soldiers in Weichen's hands are all people who fought bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield, how can they go to build that Sendai?"
"Gu Qingming, you don't need to say much, Gu Jiajun's talisman, I will send someone to your house to pick it up, and you will be limited to leave the capital within three days, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old friendship. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" the emperor said.
"Your Majestyβ"
"Hugh wants to say more, who dares to say one more word, I want his life!" Shen Ze said, waving his big hand and instructing the two guards, "Take Gu Qingming down, let him go back to the general's mansion to pack his things, and then give me the talisman back!"
Soon, Gu Qingming was taken away, and before he could continue to say anything, the courtiers saw Shen Ze's resolute attitude, and their hearts were even more chilled.
In an instant, the court exploded, and the courtiers opened their mouths one after another, discussing what to do about this matter, but they saw that Mrs. Li on the dragon chair threw herself into Shen Ze's arms very charmingly and took the initiative to send red lips.
Sure enough, it's the reincarnation of a fox spirit!
The courtiers scolded in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Shen Ze, after all, everyone saw Gu Qingming's fate. Such a loyal and meritorious general, and he grew up with the emperor since childhood, but the emperor didn't remember the old feelings at all, and directly dismissed the official, cut the military power, and drove people out of the capital.
These people are afraid that they will accidentally say the wrong thing and offend the emperor, and end up worse than Gu Qingming.
Before everyone could say anything, they saw Shen Ze pick up Mrs. Li horizontally, and hurriedly ran towards Changming Palace in front of the courtiers. The ministers of the court and the central government were all from the past, so they naturally knew what the emperor's move represented, so they shook their heads and sighed and walked out of the palace gate, leaving helplessly.
In the Jianzhang Palace, the Queen Mother already knew everything about the early dynasty, and when she heard that the emperor removed Gu Qingming from his official position and drove him out of the capital, and even confiscated his talismans, and asked Sendai what the Gu family army used to repair, she was surprised in her heart.
"Did the emperor really do this?" asked the Queen Mother with some disbelief.
"Back to the words of the Queen Mother, it is true, the emperor's personal will. The little eunuch told the queen mother exactly what the courtiers said.
At this time, a palace person came to pay tribute outside the door: "Queen Mother, General Qin is here." β
As he spoke, Qin Yuankai had already walked to the hall, saluted the Queen Mother, glanced at the little eunuch on the ground again, and said, "It seems that my aunt already knows about the affairs of the court?"
"Is it true? The emperor has really become so ridiculous?" The Queen Mother happened to not believe the little eunuch's words, so she asked Qin Yuankai for confirmation.
"Auntie, isn't it good for the emperor to be ridiculous? This is a good opportunity for my aunt. Qin Yuankai saw that there were no outsiders in this hall, so he opened his mouth and said, "The emperor is now like a different person, absurd and unreasonable, listening to the slander of the demon concubine, the queen mother for the sake of the country's society, hanging the curtain and listening to the government, the name is right." β
Qin Yuankai's words really spoke to the heart of the Queen Mother, and coincided with her thoughts.
When Gu Qingming came to her and said that she would allow him to assassinate, she had such an idea, but she didn't worry about the emperor, if this was a bureau set up by the emperor to lead her into the urn, then the courtiers and the people would say that she was a chicken Sichen, which was not good for her to be in charge.
But if the emperor himself is incompetent now, and the queen mother thinks about the country, then all this makes sense.
What's more, the Queen Mother was originally suspicious, but now Qin Yuankai saw Shen Ze's mistake with her own eyes in the early dynasty, and knew that Shen Ze was now confused by Mrs. Li, so she had no doubt that this was a game designed by the emperor.
Since the beginning of autumn last year, the Queen Mother felt that her body and bones had become worse and worse, but she had not yet enjoyed the taste of holding power for a few years, so how could she go to see the first emperor so hastily?
As a woman, she knew that if she did this, she would be spurned by thousands of people, but she didn't care, Jiangshan was fought down by her with the first emperor, she had inflated ambitions and desires, which was normal, why could Jiangshan only be surnamed Shen and not Qin?
"You're right, from today onwards, you don't have to stop the emperor from doing anything. The Queen Mother said with a smile, "Yuan Kai, among the descendants of our Qin family, only you are the most promising, and when the mourning family stabilizes the situation, it is time to think about how to choose." β
When Qin Yuankai heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, he understood what the Queen Mother meant, Jiangshan must have an heir after all, as for whether the heir is surnamed Shen or Qin, it has to be the Queen Mother's decision. If the surname is Qin, then he is the most likely to ascend to the throne of God.
"Yes, auntie. Qin Yuankai nodded, "Then...... The nephew went down first. β
After the two finished talking, Qin Yuankai left Jianzhang Palace, the Queen Mother let Aunt Jinxiu spread the word, the emperor was confused by the demon concubine, did not listen to the advice of loyal ministers, the Queen Mother was heartbroken, closed herself in Jianzhang Palace, chanted and prayed, and asked the emperor for sin.
The emperor favored Mrs. Li and ignored the government affairs; the queen was young and embarrassed; and the queen mother was heartbroken and closed her door.
In an instant, the entire court in Daning was in chaos, and no matter how much the courtiers persuaded them, it was useless to stop the emperor's misdeeds.
Gu Qingming's talisman was held in Shen Ze's hands, but he did not ask someone to take it over, but held it in the palm of his hand, and sent someone to pass the decree, so that they all pulled out of the camp and headed towards Yuncang Mountain.
Mrs. Xiao often chose a suitable address on Yuncang Mountain to build Wenxiantai, and the emperor didn't say a word, took Mrs. Li and some palace maids and eunuchs, and went towards Yuncang Mountain.
The eunuchs helped Shen Ze set up a tent, and like the previous hunting, they distributed the guards of the forbidden army around the exits of Yuncang Mountain to protect Shen Ze's safety. No matter how mediocre and incompetent he is, he is the emperor in the end and the honor of the Ninety-Five.
At the door of the General's Mansion, Gu Qingming was dressed in regular clothes, and he still looked chic and boundless, but there was loneliness and melancholy in his eyes that could not be demonstrated, as well as disappointment and worry about Daning.
"Master......" Gu Yan also stood beside him in regular clothes, and whispered, but he didn't know what to say.
Obviously, in his impression, Gu Qingming was Shen Ze's right-hand man, and he was the one who could casually break into Changming Palace and drink with the emperor. Why was he dismissed from the government and driven out of the capital?
"Don't say anything, let's go, since the emperor refuses to listen to the advice, I can't help it. Gu Qingming said, "It's just that I'm very unwilling, I'm obviously about to succeed, why did this happen, it seems that I have to live up to my father's expectations after all." β
"I don't blame the master for this, if you want to blame the emperor, he is confused by the demon concubine, and he can't tell the good from the bad. Gu Yan said, "Please get on the horse, let's leave, the emperor only gave three days." β
Gu Qingming just sighed after all, and a thousand words were buried deep in this sigh.
He turned over and got on his horse and walked towards the city gate with Gu Yan one after the other, the expression on his face was sad and sad, but he was worried about Shen Ze in his heart.
This bureau was designed by Shen Ze himself, and at the cost of his freedom, he persuaded Mrs. Li to help him perform this scene. This Mrs. Li, who has been closed since she entered the palace, is not because she is too arrogant and disdainful of competing for favor, she is just ...... Don't want to be trapped in this gorgeous cage. Instead of letting her intrigue with the three palaces and six courtyards, it is better to be in a safe corner and be happy.
Mrs. Li wanted to be free, so Shen Ze gave her freedom, and the two cooperated, so there were rumors that the demon concubine and the emperor were mediocre.
Gu Qingming's assassination was just an opportunity, with his martial arts, he would not be caught by the imperial guards, but the emperor needed an excuse to withdraw the talisman, an excuse to keep him away from the capital.
In the name of building Wenxiantai, Gu Jiajun will train troops on Yuncang Mountain, just as Shen Ze and Gu Qingming discussed at the beginning. Of course, Sendai still has to be built, and as for how to operate it, it depends on how Shen Ze deals with it.
The Queen Mother will not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely use the name of the emperor's mediocrity to listen to the government and regain control of Daning's authority. But even so, this country is still the Shen family, the old ministers in the court are following the first emperor to fight the country, the new ministers are the henchmen cultivated by Shen Ze, and the kings of the feudal countries are all surnamed Shen.
If one day, one of these people rises up in the name of helping the Shen family, then what awaits the Queen Mother is the criticism of the world and the endless abyss.
As for Gu Qingming himself...... He has more important tasks to do.
"Master, look ahead. Gu Yan's voice sounded beside him, waking up Gu Qingming's thoughts.
The two rode their horses, and they had already arrived at the sparsely populated suburbs of Beijing, but they saw a dark sedan chair parked there in front of them, and the four sedan chair men were standing steadily, clearly with martial arts, and next to the sedan chair, it was Aunt Jinxiu who was standing.
Gu Qingming's eyes flashed slightly, he knew that the Queen Mother was suspicious, but he didn't expect that she would only take so many people out of the palace in person and wait for him here.
Thinking slightly in his heart, Gu Qingming rode his horse closer, then got off the horse and arched his hand in front of the sedan chair: "The grass people ask the queen mother to say goodbye." β
The curtain of the soft sedan chair was lifted, and the Queen Mother, who was dressed plainly but still graceful and luxurious, walked out of it, looked at Gu Qingming, and said, "The mourning family specially came to see off General Gu." β
"Thank you Queen Mother, it's just that the grass people have been stripped of their official positions by the emperor, and they are no longer generals. Gu Qingming said.
"Actually, if you still want to be this general, the mourning family can also help you. The Queen Mother said at this time, "It's just ...... According to your nature, even if you are afraid, you will not be willing. β
"Thank you for the love of the Queen Mother, the Gu family's legacy is difficult to disobey, and the grass people dare not forget it. Gu Qingming said.
"You are a filial person, and the mourning family will not keep you. The Queen Mother said, "I wonder what General Gu's plans are this time?"
"The grass people plan to return to their hometown in Jeju with their servants, and they often go on expeditions, and the graves of their parents have not been swept for many years. Gu Qingming said, "Now that there is no official and a light body, it is time to go back and do your filial piety." β
