Chapter 94: There are other candidates

Gu Haoyan had no choice but to purse his lips and say, "The general will do it himself!" ”

Wei Kun smiled triumphantly and said, "Does the emperor have any other will?" ”

Gu Haoyan said coldly: "The general has blocked my way!" ”

Wei Kunjue snorted and got out of the way, Gu Haoyan immediately spurred his horse and galloped away!

......

At this time, in Prince Duan's mansion, Gu Zhenyu walked to the door of Xu Jingluo's room alone, and when he heard the sound of reading inside, he pushed the door in, and coughed deliberately.

Xu Jingluo, Cui Ying, and the incense hand that was reciting the poem just now saw him coming, and immediately stood up, blessed and said, "I've seen the master!" ”

Gu Zhenyu glanced at the incense in his hand and asked, "Who is she?" ”

Cui Ying immediately replied: "Back to the master, she is a newcomer in the house to cut shredded green onions, and she is called a hand of incense." ”

"A hand of incense?" Gu Zhenyu listened, sighed, and said, "Good name!" ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Xu Jingluo again and said, "Luo'er, you love reading so much, I'll find you a real master another day." ”

Xu Jingluo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Gu Zhenyu waved his hand at Cuiying and Yiyi Xiang, and said, "You two should step back first." ”

"Yes!" The two of them should get down, one after the other, and Cui Ying closed the door with her hand.

Gu Zhenyu smiled kindly: "Luo'er, your sister Su'er has news." ”

When Xu Jingluo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is Sister Su?" ”

Gu Zhenyu smiled, and was just about to take out a jade jue from his sleeve, when he saw Aunt Liu hurriedly pushing the door and breaking in, and said eagerly: "Master, the Empress Dowager has a will, announce that you will enter the palace immediately!" ”

When Gu Zhenyu heard this, he quickly stuffed the jade jue back into his sleeve and came to Cining Palace in a sedan chair.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother." Gu Zhenyu knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Excuse me!" The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Gu Zhenyu stood up, but his head was lowered.

"You and him make a long story short." The Empress Dowager looked at Ning Qiuyun on the side and ordered.

"Yes!" Ning Qiuyun took the order, walked up to Gu Zhenyu, and said in a deep voice: "This afternoon, Wei Kunjue killed Su Ke, and now Su Ke's family is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Gu Zhenyu was shocked when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "It's too fast, it's too fast!" Does the emperor know? ”

After speaking, he looked at the Empress Dowager respectfully.

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "The emperor has gone on horseback, and I have already sent someone to find him!" Prince Duan, tell me your intuition about this matter! I want to hear it. ”

Gu Zhenyu took a step forward and said, "The reason why Su Kex died so quickly is because his daughter Ning Xiang is about to become the queen!" This is one of them; This morning, when the emperor was in the court, the emperor made Wei Kunjue and his group lose face, you know, General Wei's face cannot be lost. Besides, Wei Kunjue must show his strength in front of everyone, which is the second; And ......"

He paused and said, "That's what Weichen thought of. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Your opinion is similar to that of Lord Ning, however, I will add one more to you, General Wei inexplicably let you go, he can't get off the stage, he must not be able to swallow this breath, this is the third." ”

When Gu Zhenyu heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said again and again: "The Empress Dowager Shengming, Weichen thought of it, but he didn't dare to say it." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed, looked at him and said, "Everyone has selfish intentions, and I don't blame you." Get up! ”

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Gu Zhenyu got up again.

The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice: "General Wei never cares about the consequences in doing things, how did you use to get him to withdraw from your house?" I'm quite interested in that. As he spoke, he looked at Ning Qiuyun and said, "Lord Ning, have you thought of it?" ”

Ning Qiuyun said: "The Empress Dowager, if you talk about intelligence and intelligence, Weichen is not half of the prince of Shang, such a clever idea, the minister can't think of it even if he breaks his head." However, Wei Chen can conclude that Prince Duan will definitely not make any alliance with General Wei in private, or it is unknown if there is any agreement. ”

The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard this, and asked, "I said, Lord Ning, what do you want to say?" It's all confusing me. ”

Ning Qiuyun also smiled and said, "It must be Prince Duan's righteousness that overwhelms Wei Kunjue's evil spirit." So, let him become a Buddha on the spot! ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it again and said, "Eh, that's not right, why did he go to kill people again in the afternoon?" ”

The Empress Dowager was silent and said, "This is called one thing descending from one thing." As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Zhenyu meaningfully.

Gu Zhenyu fell to the ground in a panic for the third time, and because the action was too sudden, the jade jue in his sleeve fell to the ground, but he didn't notice it, but hurriedly explained: "The Empress Dowager, Wei Kunjue and Weichen have a hatred for killing their wives, and Wei Kunjue just feels sorry for his niece Xu Jingluo, so he didn't dig deeper." Wechen definitely didn't have any private dealings with him, and Wechen was loyal to the emperor. ”

And the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager picked up the jade jue and presented it to the Empress Dowager with both hands.

The Empress Dowager took the jade jue and looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Look at it, our Prince Duan's pocket is like a treasure bag, and even the emperor's things are in his arms!" ”

Gu Zhenyu looked at the jade jue and said, "This is a token of Weichen's work for the emperor, and Weichen promised the emperor to keep it a secret." Therefore, Weichen didn't dare to say it. ”

The Empress Dowager said softly: "But I didn't ask you either." As he spoke, he sighed again and said, "When this person is old, he will talk a lot, and if he talks too much, it will inevitably be inappropriate." Listen, and no one is allowed to make a fuss. Prince Duan, please get up quickly! ”

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Gu Zhenyu lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up.

The Empress Dowager stood up and said to Gu Zhenyu and Ning Qiuyun: "You two, accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

"Wechen obeys!" The two responded in unison.

The Empress Dowager took two steps, stopped again, returned the jade jue to Gu Zhenyu and said, "Come, take this thing back and put it away carefully!" Prince Lao Duan shared the emperor's worries. ”

Gu Zhenyu and Ning Qiuyun accompanied the Empress Dowager to wander around the Imperial Garden, Gu Zhenyu followed behind and proposed: "Empress Dowager, since Su Ke is dead, the imperial court should take advantage of the situation to commend Wei Kunjue and give him an official promotion to the rank of knight, so that he can have face." Let him feel that the emperor can't help him, in short, we will give him what he wants. ”

Ning Qiuyun took over the conversation and said: "This arrogant tactic is really yin and ruthless, Prince Duan is powerful!" I am afraid that the emperor will be young and vigorous, and he will not bear to show weakness. ”

The Empress Dowager said, "He will!" Prince Duan, you can go on. ”

Gu Zhenyu continued: "On the other hand, we must do our best to protect Su Ke's family, so that those who are loyal to the emperor can have peace of mind, and at the same time, we will also show Wei Kunjue's henchmen that the imperial court is decisive. ”

The Empress Dowager bowed slightly, and instructed him again: "The draft can't be stopped, do you have any other candidates?" ”

Gu Zhenyu nodded, glanced at Ning Qiuyun, and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is that the young lady of Lord Ning's family is also among the girls waiting for the draft. ”

Ning Qiuyun hurriedly said when he heard this: "The one in my family is very stubborn, I'm afraid it is not in line with the emperor's wishes." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at him and said, "Lord Ning, what are you panicking about, are you afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied, or are you afraid that Wei Kunjue will be dissatisfied?" ”

Ning Qiuyun snorted and said, "This matter came too suddenly, and Weichen was overwhelmed with joy. ”

A few people were chatting, and they saw Gu Haoyan hurrying towards him, and said to Gu Zhenyu and Ning Qiuyun: "Wei Kunjue killed Su Ke, you don't know yet, right?" ”

The two were silent, but the Empress Dowager smiled slightly.

......

After Gu Zhenyu came out of the palace, he returned to the palace and came to the door of Xu Jingluo's room with Aunt Liu.

Listening to the sound of reading coming from the room: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate!" Gu Zhenyu couldn't help but shake his head in distress, and said, "Luo'er, this kid is really not a piece of reading material, just such a sentence, she has been reading it over and over for a day!" ”
