Chapter 108: State Banquet
"What Zhenguo Gong said is very agreeable." Gu Qingyue and Gu Fengyang looked at each other, their eyes showed joy, and they smiled slightly, "Among the ministers, it is the imperial uncle who knows my mind the best. ”
Gu Fengyang heard that Gu Qingyue was so close to him in front of all the ministers, and he was also called "Uncle Huang", so he naturally knew that this capital banquet was already a sure thing. This Gu Qingyue is really just a stinky girl who has not dried up, even if Lu Huaijin supports her behind her back? With the personality of this yellow-haired girl, it is a matter of time before she loses the heart of a courtier. I was worried about how to fix this girl, but she was okay and took the initiative to send it to the door.
Although he thought so in his heart, Gu Fengyang still had a respectful look on his face.
But after listening to Gu Qingyue's words, the ministers were all anxious. But the emperor is a real dragon goddess, and she is still young, so she can't blame it, so she can only blame the Zhenguo Gong who is plucking on the side.
"Zhenguo Gong is not old and confused!"
Gu Fengyang heard a scolding from behind him, and as soon as he turned around, an old man with a beard and gray eyebrows widened his eyes angrily.
"Now that our dynasty is peaceful in the region, the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and his foundation is still shallow, and how many jackals, tigers and leopards in neighboring countries are eyeing us," the old man said breathlessly, "What shows the emperor's courage, I think you are ill-intentioned!" ”
"Who shall I be? It turned out to be a book of the household! Gu Fengyang was blamed by the head of the household, not only was he not angry at all, but he twisted his beard with a smile and said, "Lord Hubu's words sound like he has good intentions for the great cause of the family and country, but the minister thinks that you don't mean to be drunk, haha." ”
Tobe Shangshu looked puzzled and his expression was solemn.
Gu Fengyang's eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he said leisurely, "The state banquet costs a lot of money, isn't it because the treasury is empty and can't withstand the consumption?"
Without waiting for Lord Hubu to argue, Gu Fengyang continued, "I have only won a battle in the court, and the treasury should be full, but listening to Lord Tobe's words, it seems that it can't last long, but it's ......."
Gu Fengyang deliberately paused, Gu Qingyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and all the ministers in the court were motionless, and then Gu Fengyang's joking voice sounded in the court, "I heard that there are many mansions and fields in the family, and there are groups of beautiful concubines!" ”
This old fox suspected that the treasury was short in front of the emperor for a while, and then said that there were many concubines in his family, didn't he clearly say that he was stealing the treasury money?
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingyue's heart was shocked, she knew that the words of the Hubu Shangshu just now might have hit Gu Fengyang's careful thoughts, but she didn't expect Gu Fengyang to want to borrow his own hand to lay a trumped-up charge on Lord Hubu!
At this time, Lord Hubu was already angry with Gu Fengyang's connotative words, and his seven orifices were smoking.
He actually wanted to buckle himself with a hat of corruption.
Lord Hubu trotted in front of Gu Qingyue, knelt down with a "poof", and cried, "The old minister is wronged!" Please Your Majesty investigate clearly and return the old minister's innocence, otherwise the old minister will crash to death on top of this hall......"
As he spoke, he made a gesture to hit the pillar in the temple, but was stopped by the minister beside him.
Then many ministers knelt down and shouted for intercession for Tobe.
For a while, there was chaos in the court, Gu Qingyue glanced lightly, and Gu Fengyang stood beside him with cold eyes, looking disdainful.
"Okay, okay, Lord Hubu has been honest all his life, and no one in Beijing knows about it." After speaking, she waved her hand and motioned to the guards on both sides to help Tobe up.
Gu Qingyue looked unhappy and said, "The matter of the state banquet, I have made up my mind, don't mention it again, let's disperse." ”
The ministers who originally wanted to persuade saw that the emperor was so stubborn, so they had no choice but to leave one after another, Gu Fengyang saw that his goal had been achieved, and he also gave her a slight salute and strode away.
After about a moment, Lord Hu of the Criminal Department went to the inner room under the leadership of Hui'er.
Gu Qingyue sat beside the bed at this time and told Lu Huaijin about today's court.
Lu Huaijin saw Gu Qingyue's unhappy expression, and looked worried, and said with concern, "What is the emperor's mind?"
Gu Qingyue first sighed softly, "I discussed with the ministers today to prepare for a state banquet. She said this in a flat voice, as if it were all too ordinary.
"Hold a state dinner?" Lu Huaijin was half-lying on the couch, and when he heard this, he was so anxious to sit up, but unexpectedly he touched the injury and coughed uncomfortably.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down, and said slowly, "Do you also think that I am too reckless?"
"The minister doesn't dare," Lu Huaijin saw that Gu Qingyue looked worried when he said this, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "The emperor must have a reason for doing this." ”
He knew that Gu Qingyue had discussed everything with him since she ascended the throne, but she was a son of heaven after all, and she had to learn to make her own decisions and not rely too much on others.
He could clearly feel that Gu Qingyue was gradually trying to cultivate the foundation.
"Do you really think so?" Gu Qingyue's expression was overjoyed, and she continued, "I understand, you think that it is too risky to hold a state banquet, and the enemy in the dark may take this opportunity to usurp power and rebel and cause chaos, but," Gu Qingyue said this, her eyes lowered, "If we hesitate again and again, wouldn't we be giving the enemy a chance to recuperate, and besides, you are still so seriously injured this time because they are so badly injured." ”
Listening to Gu Qingyue's words, Lu Huaijin felt that his heartbeat was speeding up uncontrollably.
Then, he noticed that his hand was gently held, and when he looked down, it was Gu Qingyue's thin fingers that were holding him.
"Don't worry, I already have some eyebrows about this matter, and I will definitely be able to find out the person behind it and avenge you." Gu Qingyue said earnestly.
When Gu Qingyue said this, she recalled in her mind the abnormal behavior of the Zhen Guogong in the court today, and she didn't notice that Lu Huaijin, who was holding her hand, had a hot face.
"Your Majesty, Lord Hu of the Criminal Department has arrived." Hui'er's voice came from outside.
Hui'er's voice came, and Gu Qingyue then stood up and let go of the hand holding Lu Huaijin.
Both looked towards the door.
"The old minister greets Your Majesty," Master Hu saluted Gu Qingyue as soon as he entered the door, because he was old and his eyes were not good, he didn't notice Lu Huaijin who was blocked by Gu Qingyue at all.
"Lord Hu, please get up quickly." Gu Qingyue stepped forward and gave a false support, and at the same time turned back to Lu Huaijin and said, "Huaijin, I am going to hand over that thief to Master Hu to deal with, what do you think?" ”
Immediately afterwards, a cold and weak voice came from behind Gu Qingyue, "Then please Lord Hu." ”
Lu Huaijin? Rajah?
This voice startled Master Hu in place.
