Chapter 96: Young Son of Heaven
"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Liu Jin, the governor of the West Factory, stood up.
I saw a smile on his face, bent over and said: "Let's not mention that Lord Xu, the envoy of the Fusi of Beizhen, is still here, and he has become a pacification envoy by jumping over a thousand households in just one hundred households, is this too exaggerated? There is no such precedent in this dynasty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"If this is spread out, how will the martial arts officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of it?"
"Your Majesty, you have to think twice!"
......
As soon as Liu Jin's words came out, the rest of the eunuchs also echoed him.
In addition to the West Factory, even Wei Zhongxian and Cao Zhengchun from the East Factory also blocked it.
Although the Beizhen Fusi took refuge in the East Factory, whoever came out of the Beizhen Fusi was regarded as their own people.
But as soon as he came, Gu Fengqing had not yet shown his loyalty to their Dongchang.
Second, with their past style of acting in the past, this is definitely an arrogant and unscrupulous person, if such a person becomes the pacification envoy of the Beizhen Fusi, it is not necessarily a good thing for them to Dongchang!
Therefore, for the present, stability maintenance is the most important thing!
Seeing that they were all refusing, the emperor showed an unswerving expression.
It seemed that seeing that the emperor was not very happy, Xichang Liu Jin thought about it, suddenly rolled his eyes, stood up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Gu Fengqing's martial arts and wisdom are all superior, and you are happy to see it, the old slave knows!"
"But after all, Gu Fengqing is only a hundred households of the sixth grade, and this leap to the fourth grade of the town envoy is a three-level promotion!"
"The first emperor said back then, in addition to being promoted to the third level in wartime, there must be a merit in turning the tide and supporting the building in the general, and this Gu Fengqing has no credit for it after all, if this is spread out...... Doesn't it make the world think that my promotion in Daxia is too child's play?"
"Gu Aiqing cracked the rebellion of the king of honor, isn't this credit enough?"
The emperor was very unhappy and glared at Liu Jin.
"After all, King Yu's rebellion didn't make any waves, although the credit is great, but after all, he can't convince the public!" Liu Jin said with a smile.
"That'...... Then it's okay to let Gu Aiqing be a thousand households, right? Thousands of households are only five grades, no one should say anything more!"
Liu Jin laughed again: "Although it is possible to have a thousand households, but now the Jinyi Wei North and South Towns and Fu Si add up to the fourteen thousand households are now full, and they are also conscientious in their duties, Your Majesty can't remove them for no reason, isn't this chilling?!"
"That'...... So what should I do?"
Hearing Liu Jin's words, the emperor hesitated, and lost his backbone for a while.
While they were talking, Gu Fengqing stood aside and watched coldly.
It is rumored that the current emperor is young, and the power is in the hands of the eunuchs and the cabinet, and the emperor's order is not out of the house!
But now it seems that there is more to it than that!
This young emperor was simply played like a monkey by the eunuchs!
The dignified emperor, the lord of the world, made a decision that was rejected by the eunuchs, without the majesty of the emperor!
However, this is also understandable - when the first emperor died, the crown prince was only a few years old, and after ascending the throne, he was also raised by women and eunuchs, resulting in a cowardly personality and no opinions.
Now that the emperor is getting older, he is eager to take back his rights, but he has been raised in the deep palace by the eunuchs since he was a child, and his mind and strategy are far inferior to the eunuchs who have been fighting in the deep palace for many years, and he wants to take back the power from them...... If there is no external force, it is simply wishful thinking!
"This emperor is really unreliable!"
Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Gu Fengqing watched coldly, watching the performances of the eunuchs of these two factories.
Seeing that the emperor had lost his backbone, Liu Jin smiled slightly, shook off the dust and said: "If Your Majesty really wants to promote Gu Baihu, according to the old slave's opinion, there is a way!"
As soon as he heard this, the emperor was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "What can Liu Banban do, say it quickly!"
Liu Jin glanced at Gu Fengqing, laughed, and said slowly in that sharp and gloomy voice: "The Queen Mother went back to her ancestral land some time ago to look for relatives, but she lost her trace, and there has been no news so far.
"Why don't you give this task to Gu Baihu...... Gu Baihu is strong in martial arts and has a strategy, if he can find the Queen Mother, this is another great achievement, and when the time comes, Gu Baihu will be rewarded, wouldn't it be just a boat to push the boat?"
"This ......" Hearing this, the emperor hesitated a little and hesitated for a moment.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been missing for more than ten days, if she can't find it, in case of an accident...... After all, this is a matter of the royal family, and it can't be spread out, and Gu Baihu is in Jinyiwei, this is the Son of Heaven's army, and it is appropriate to hand it over to him!" Liu Jin said with a smile.
The disappearance of the Queen Mother is a big deal.
But again, this is also a big thing that can't be spread.
After all, this is a matter of royal face, if it is spread out, once the government and the opposition learn about it, won't the royal family lose face?
Therefore, the search for the Queen Mother can only be carried out in secret, and the Queen Mother must be found before this matter is revealed!
But after so many days, a large number of people have been scattered in the palace, and there is no clue......
Hearing this, the emperor finally made a decision.
He looked at Gu Fengqing and said, "Gu Aiqing, this matter ...... If you do it well, I will be able to reward you with the right name!"
"Your Majesty, according to the old slave, there is still a time to agree, it is better to ...... It's set within five days?" Liu Jin said with a smile.
"Five days...... Isn't this too tight?" the Emperor hesitated.
"Your Majesty, the safety of the Queen Mother is of great importance! One more day of delay, the danger of the Queen Mother will become more serious...... According to the old slave, five days is still a long time!"
Liu Jin looked at Gu Fengqing and said, "Gu Baihu is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, presumably he should be able to find the Queen Mother within five days, right?!"
Gu Fengqing was still standing there, standing with his hands tied and not speaking, just looking at the emperor.
At this time, the emperor finally made a decision, he looked at Gu Fengqing and said: "In this case, then I will hand over this matter to Gu Aiqing to handle! If I can find the Queen Mother within five days, I will not hesitate to reward him!"
Faced with this situation, Gu Fengqing could only accept it.
"Minister, Commander!"
"Okay, all stand down, I'm tired of ......"
Seeing Gu Fengqing coming down, the emperor waved his hand, and then turned around and left.
Dongchang Wei Zhongxian and Cao Zhengchun glanced at Gu Fengqing, snorted coldly and left.
As for Liu Jin, he walked to Gu Fengqing's side and smiled: "Gu Baihu, do it well!"
"If it is done well, the future is limitless...... Hahaha......"
As he spoke, Liu Jin shook off the dust and turned to leave.
Gu Fengqing stood in place, looking at their departing backs, his face was calm and there was no affection.
After a long time, he suddenly chuckled: "Good calculation......"
"But it's a pity ......"
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, "I'm afraid I'm going to let your ideas fall through......"
