The Empress Dowager was stunned when she heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Don't even kill Wei Kunjue?" His crime must be treason, if you don't kill him, how can you explain it to the world? ”

Gu Haoyan said loudly: "Wei Kunjue's henchmen are all over the court and outside, if you dig deeper one by one, the Western Wei Dynasty may not be able to ease down within three or five years." Therefore, I don't plan to dig deeper, but as soon as Wei Kunjue died, they were too relieved, so this time I will let them go and keep Wei Kunjue from killing. In this way, it is equivalent to hanging a sword over the heads of these officials, large and small, so that they can honor the court with reverence. ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Aren't you afraid that they will collude to rebel?" ”

Gu Haoyan said confidently: "When Wei Kunjue and Yao Wenqiang are in power, they may still collude with each other, but as soon as Wei Kunjue falls, I'm afraid it's too late for them to wash themselves away!" How can they have the audacity to collude with each other again? ”

The Empress Dowager bowed slightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Last night, I was worried all night, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to come back, just like thousands of ordinary people in the world, the elderly grandmother was worried that her young grandson was in trouble outside, and she couldn't afford it. I'll tell you a secret, I've never been so scared as I was last night. ”

Gu Haoyan was very moved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's the grandson who is bold and reckless, so you have to worry about it!" ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "No, you don't understand what I mean, my grandmother is old, this person is old, and when she starts to do things, she shrinks her hands and feet, and looks forward and backward, I know in my heart that there will be any major events in the court in the future, you have to worry more!" ”

When Gu Haoyan heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "Ancestor, with you presiding over the overall situation in the court, what is the grandson doing in his heart, if the grandson has not fulfilled his filial piety, I hope the ancestor will forgive me!" ”

The Empress Dowager hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Get up, as long as you can let me live a down-to-earth life, this is your greatest filial piety!" ”

Gu Haoyan stood up, nodded and said, "Ancestor Xie." ”

At this moment, a palace maid came in and reported: "The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Prince Duan asks to see you." ”

The Empress Dowager instructed her: "Let Prince Duan go to the Qianqing Palace to wait for the emperor, and in the future, the foreign ministers will refuse to see him." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!" The palace maid responded as she was told.

The Empress Dowager looked at Gu Haoyan and said solemnly: "From now on, Western Wei is yours!" ”

Gu Haoyan was overjoyed, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes!" Ancestor, grandson retired first! ”

......

A quarter of an hour later, in the Qianqing Palace, Gu Zhenyu waited patiently, but after a while, he saw Ning Qiuyun also walking in, so he went over to greet him: "Lord Ning." ”

"Prince Duan. The emperor hasn't arrived yet? Ning Qiuyun returned the salute and asked.

Gu Zhenyu said: "Well, I'm also waiting here." ”

Ning Qiuyun smiled and praised: "Prince Duan is still tough on his legs and feet, and he can be the first to do anything." ”

Gu Zhenyu hurriedly said: "Lord Ning made fun of me, I just did my part, recently the official affairs have been complicated, the empress dowager and the emperor are both energetic masters, how dare I be a little lazy and slack." ”

Ning Qiuyun bowed slightly, looked around again, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Did the Empress Dowager say anything just now?" Can you reveal a little bit about that? ”

Gu Zhenyu said: "The Empress Dowager said something, all of which were praising me for Lord Ning's loyalty, shrewdness and ability. ”

Ning Qiuyun sighed twice and said, "Prince Duan is so tight-lipped and abides by the rules of the palace, it is really admirable, since you are doing everything officially, I won't ask more." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Haoyan came around from the side door of the main hall, and when the two of them saw this, they immediately knelt on the ground and saluted: "Greetings to the emperor." ”

Gu Haoyan raised his hand slightly and said, "No courtesy." It just so happens that I have something to look for you. ”

"Your Majesty, the names of all the criminals are here, a total of two hundred and fifty-seven." Ning Qiuyun presented Gu Haoyan with a roster, paused, and said, "No, it's two hundred and fifty-eight." ”

Gu Haoyan flipped through the roster, and suddenly found that Xu Jingluo's name was written on it, and he immediately raised his eyebrows, and listened to Ning Qiuyun explain: "Your Majesty, Weichen just went to the Zongren Mansion to sort out the roster of the families of the rebels, I don't know why, there is one more than last night." So I asked them, "How did this extra person come about?" The officials of the Zongren Mansion were hesitant and didn't make it clear, what a strange thing! Weichen was in a hurry to report to the emperor just now, so he didn't ask anything. ”

After listening to this, Gu Haoyan looked at the two of them and said: "You two are very good, in the future, the affairs of the court and the central government still need to be discussed by the two of you, you can get an idea for me now, and see what these people should do!" ”

Gu Zhenyu's expression was uncertain, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's let Lord Ning speak first." ”

......

At this time, in the Baihua Pavilion of Prince Duan's Mansion, Gu Changgong and Ning Yichen were sitting on the railing and talking.

Ning Yichen said with a solemn face: "Changgong, they took Xu Jingluo away!" ”

Gu Changgong held a bamboo pole and practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke in the pond, while pursing his lips and said, "When I was talking to Su'er, they moved. Yi Chen, you are honest, what kind of person am I? ”

Ning Yichen shook the folding fan and said, "You are a person, you want to do your best in everything, you are too greedy!" ”

Gu Changgong sighed and said, "Yes, but the result is the opposite." It seems worse than doing nothing! ”

Ning Yichen stood up and said, "However, in this way, you can sit in the position of the colt naturally!" ”

Gu Changgong was stunned when he heard this, and said with deep brows: "You obviously know that it is impossible. Why comfort me with this? The Empress Dowager hurriedly named her Princess Jinxuan, but it was just to turn the underground palace into a palace! ”

Ning Yichen smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that if I want to comfort a person who understands, I have to make up some better methods." ”

Gu Changgong said faintly: "Do I understand people? I don't understand what I'm doing now, I know, let's see where to start! ”

Ning Yichen glanced at him and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't have taken a broken bamboo pole and scribbled in this water." ”

Gu Changgong's eyes lit up when he heard this, put away the bamboo pole, looked at Ning Yichen and said, "Yes, then I'll do something!" As for the outcome, whatever! ”

Ning Yichen smiled heartily and said, "That's right, whatever!" ”

So, Gu Changgong came to the table in the center of the pavilion, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the brush, and was about to write, muttering, "What to write?" ”

At this moment, Xiao Luzi, the chief manager of Ouchi, ran over and said, "Yo, the two sons are here, just right, save my little Luzi from running errands again!" The emperor invited the two of you into the palace! Don't tell you that when I first came out, I saw that the emperor was asking someone to prepare two yellow coats! ”

Ning Yichen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Great, the opportunity has come!" ”

Gu Changgong was also very happy, and went into the palace with Xiao Luzi with Ning Yichen.

......

In the palace at this time, Zhu Lingsu was happily swinging, smiling at Gu Haoyan, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking so thoughtfully, when I was a child, I always wanted such a swing." ”

Gu Haoyan took a step forward and said with a smile: "Su'er, I haven't taken good care of you all these years, and I don't even know where you went. However, now that it's all right, I'll make it up to you! ”

Zhu Lingsu lowered his eyes and said softly: "Until the past few days, I didn't know your real situation, you can think of me, I am already very content." ”

Gu Haoyan sighed, looked at her and said, "Over the years, you have suffered too much, from now on, don't wronged yourself anymore, cry if you want to cry, and tell me what you want after crying." ”

Zhu Lingsu pursed his lips and said, "I don't want anything anymore." ”

Gu Haoyan said softly: "Su'er, think about it carefully, don't be in a hurry to answer me." I know you want to take care of Changgong, don't worry, I will find a way to keep you together. ”

When Zhu Lingsu heard this, he immediately got off the swing, shook his head and said, "Don't, Your Majesty, we can't break up Changgong and Sister Jingluo!" ”

Gu Haoyan said seriously: "I don't want to break up anyone, don't cry." ”

As he spoke, he took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears on Zhu Lingsu's face.
