Spring Girl's Notes

The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households resigned, and the emperor sat alone in the imperial study, his eyes a little prickly.

The Empress Dowager's condition improved in the past few days, and the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It has become a habit for him to serve the Queen Mother first after he goes down to court.

He didn't have to serve these few days, so he took the opportunity to take a nap.

I sleep a little too much these days, often have dry eyes, but I never sleep less.

He gently rubbed the eye point, and it relieved a little.

There was another unfinished imperial decree on the table, which was for Gu Jinzhi to be made a noble concubine.It is no longer needed now, so the emperor gently folded it up and put it aside.

Without Gu Jinzhi, what method should he use to elevate the Gu family and make the Gu family a powerful family on par with the Tan family and Yuan Pinghou's mansion?

Gu Jinzhi made the empress dowager alive, and the emperor wanted to win over the Gu family, so he promoted her to be a first-class concubine.Otherwise, on the one hand, the Gu family has no meritorious service, on the other hand, Gu Jinzhi has not given birth to a prince, and has no great virtue in the harem, at most he can only be named a nobleman.

Now, what should we do?

The emperor had a headache.

Although the frontier has been quiet and peaceful these years, the imperial court is also clean and honest, and there are no traitors and sycophants running rampant, and the streets are full of wolves and tigers.

But it is inevitable for the emperor to practice Zuo newly, and the old ministers in the court to bully the young master.Over the past four years since he took the throne, the situation between North Korea and China has gradually revealed its shortcomings.

In the lead, one is Yuan Pinghou and the other is the Tan family.

Yuan Pinghou is the only son of the princess, he is known for his military exploits, and he also serves as a minister in the Ministry of War. Now his disciples are all over the government and the public, and there is a tendency for the party to fight against the dissent.Although he did it secretly and did not dare to be arrogant, he could not escape the emperor's eyes and ears.The emperor looked at it but was startled.

The Marquis of Yuan Ping and the mother and son of the princess have contributed to the support of the emperor, and these veteran officials cannot be dealt with, otherwise the emperor will get a bad reputation of revenge, and everyone in the court will be in danger, and the situation may not be stable.

The emperor just watched Yuan Ping Hou Jiang Liang become more and more powerful day by day...

In addition, the first empress's natal family, Zhang and Hou Tan, also worried the emperor.Mr. Tan was the first assistant.Although he is not in his position now, his disciples are all over the government and the public.The current Xia Shoufu is also Mr. Tan's favorite disciple.

Xia Shoufu vaguely revealed several times that he wanted the emperor to make Tan Housheng's five-year-old eldest prince the crown prince.

The emperor felt bad for the queen mother.Go to Kunning Palace to serve.And interrupted Xia Shoufu's proposal.

Several ministers also asked Chen Guifei, the younger sister of the first queen, to be the queen.

In this way, the Tan family's prestige is even greater.

The Tan family and Yuan Pinghou, one Wen and one Wu, ruled the court and let them go down.Someday.The power of the emperor is useless.

The foundation of the emperor is not stable.There are not many loyal ministers, so he didn't dare to break the situation in the court rashly, so he had to infiltrate and disintegrate from inside.

He wanted to raise a new noble family.Break out of existing shackles.

Gu Yantao, a scholar of the Dongge University, is someone who is valued by the emperor.

I still remember that when the emperor was still the prince, hunting in the west mountain, an antelope was chased to the edge of the cliff, hit by seven or eight arrows, then stumbled and fell, but hung on the ancient pine halfway up the mountain.

The first emperor said forget it, no more.Too dangerous to hold.

Then everyone left.

The emperor stood there and watched for a while.

Gu Yantao leaned over and asked, "Prince, do you want that antelope?"

The emperor just nodded.

Of course he wanted to, but the hillside was too steep, and if he was not careful, he would fall down and be smashed to pieces.The antelope was obviously dead, hanging there motionless, and it was not impossible to fetch it.

The emperor is hesitating.

However, Gu Yantao lifted up the hem of his clothes, pulled the small trees and short grass on the hillside, and took such a risk to help the prince get back the antelope.

He finally came back safely.

The first emperor and the emperor were very happy, and praised Gu Yantao's bravery in person.Although he is a civil servant, he has the courage of a military commander.

After returning, the first emperor asked the emperor what he thought of Gu Yantao.

The emperor said: "He wants to curry favor with me, which shows that he has a strong desire for power. His articles are well written and his introduction is unique, but Tan Shoufu doesn't like him, saying that he has no gentleman's style, is too small, and always suppresses him..."

The first emperor nodded approvingly.

Then the former emperor said to the emperor again: "You must remember what my father said today: Gu Yantao, if the situation is chaotic, you can praise him. If he can stir up more chaos, you can win in the midst of it. When you really control the court If the situation is not right, this person can no longer be reused. This person is powerful, and he would spare his own life, how could he spare the lives of others? When the time comes, his method of driving out dissidents will be frightening."

The first emperor believed that as long as Gu Yantao had the opportunity, he could become a generation of traitors.

Be careful with this kind of person.

Gu Yantao is like a falcon, it is really helpful when hunting, but you have to be more careful about being scratched by him.

The emperor has been on the throne for four years, and he has watched it coldly for four years.

He wanted to do it two years ago.Then, within half a year, his mother became seriously ill, and he immediately lost his energy.

Back then, he and his mother had worked so hard to be appreciated by his father.The emperor could never forget what his mother had done to him.

He continued to hide his strength and bide his time.

Now, the queen mother is recovering from illness, and all kinds of problems in the court are getting more and more serious. It's time to do something.

Gu Yantao, the falcon, has also been bred strong, so it should be released.

It's just that the emperor lacked an opportunity.

The appearance of Gu Jinzhi gave the emperor an opportunity.

What the emperor wants to clean up is not only those powerful ministers who rely on the old to sell the old, but also his two brothers with huge guards.

The queen mother's illness delayed many things, and made many people take it lightly, thinking that the emperor had never paid attention to their disobedience.

In fact, the emperor saw everything in his eyes.

Nanchang Palace has [-] elite soldiers, and Luyang King also has [-]. If they join forces and march northward to the capital, the emperor will be caught off guard.

Of these two younger brothers, one was raised by his mother and has shown his loyalty many times; the other is a fool.

Could it be that the emperor is at ease?

Put Buddha a sharp knife, always placed on the emperor's back vest.

Once out of control, the knife will stab him.

What about my brothers?The emperor didn't believe them both.The king of Luyang is stupid, if the king of Nanchang wants to commit crimes.To encourage King Luyang, King Luyang has no sense of judgment at all, and if he is stupid, he will definitely borrow troops.

In fact, what the emperor fears the most is the King of Nanchang.

King Luyang...is the younger brother of his mother and compatriots after all. The emperor has a deep affection for the Queen Mother, and he has a certain preference for King Luyang from the bottom of his heart.

The marriage between Gu Jinzhi and King Luyang can be used to "imprison" King Luyang and King Nanchang in the capital, and then send people to deal with the guards of Nanchang Palace and Luyang Palace.To achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting.The emperor was also happy.

There is a smile on his lips.

At last something was settled.

Next, he just needs to flatter Gu Yantao, and let it go, waiting for the time to come.receive.

only.How to praise Gu Yantao.How can it be effective without arousing the suspicion of the Tan family and Yuan Pinghou?

The emperor was also distressed.

Unfortunately, there is only one Gu Jinzhi.Not enough for him to make two.

——*——*——

The queen mother is very happy that Gu Jinzhi can be the concubine of King Luyang.

She knew that although Emperor Jinkou had promised this marriage, it was entrusted to the Ministry of Rites.

The procedures are cumbersome, and I'm afraid it will take a year and a half.

The king of Luyang can also live in Beijing for another year and a half, and the queen mother is so happy that there are tears in the corners of her eyes.

Zhongjun married Gu Jinzhi, and he was able to stay with the queen mother for a few more days. The queen mother's concern for this youngest son also slowly let go.

She called Aunt Cheng and asked her to go to the warehouse of Kunning Palace and find 28 boxes of gifts, and send her away when Gu Jinzhi came home tomorrow.

"The Ai family is going to marry a daughter-in-law again!" The queen mother smiled and said, "Go and get the Ai family's jewelry box, which was brought when the Ai family entered the palace..."

When the Empress Dowager entered the palace, her mother gave a pair of Hetian sheep fat jade bracelets.

One, the empress dowager gave to the emperor's first queen; the other, she kept for giving to Zhongjun's concubine.

She thought it would take another three to five years.How do you know, it can be given out now.

The Queen Mother was very happy.

Aunt Cheng was also happy, so she hurriedly went out to find Gu Jinzhi.

The Empress Dowager was very cautious and brought it for her herself: "When Ai's family entered the palace, they only took this pair of jade bracelets. Although they are not the best items, they are the wishes of Ai's family. One was given to the former queen. One is yours, wear it carefully. You are the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, the Ai family likes it the most..."

Gu Jinzhi thanked him.

She didn't dislike Zhongjun's demeanor at all, which moved the Queen Mother even more.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Zhong Jun, he is just... at the age of 13, he still looks like a child of six or seven years old.Behavior is naive, but also kind, knowing good and bad, not that stupid, stupid!

There is finally someone in this world who understands Zhong Jun.

The queen mother took Gu Jinzhi to gossiping for a long time, thinking that she would go home again tomorrow, so she let her go to bed first, and then continued to ask Aunt Cheng and the palace staff to pack up the presents.

"Tomorrow, the Ai family will allow you to leave the palace and send Jinzhi back." The queen mother said to Aunt Cheng, "Go to her house and have a look. I vaguely remember that Gu Guogong said that their house is still in Sanyuanpo Hutong. The house is very tight. If the living is not good, come back and tell the Ai family. The daughter-in-law of the Ai family cannot be wronged."

Aunt Cheng said yes.

On the third day of February, the spring snow has not yet melted, but it has added snow color.

Row upon row of streets, all white, the whole capital is pure and pure, and the horizon is wider.

The chief eunuch of Kunning Palace sent the young eunuch out of the palace early in the morning to inform the Gu family that Miss Seven of their family is coming back today, and let Qingdao greet her.

Everyone in the Gu family was in an uproar again.

They don't know what Gu Jinzhi went to do in the palace; they don't even know what's going on now.

Uncle Gu Yantao ordered his servants to sweep the road.

The snow stopped at noon, and just after that, a servant came to tell Gu Yantao that Miss Seven had returned, and Eunuch Chang and Aunt Cheng, the chief eunuchs of the Empress Dowager Kunning Palace, brought them back in person, and they carried more than 20 things behind them, all of which were silk. Silk, satin, jewelry and playthings are full, blocking Sanyuanpo Hutong.

Gu Yantao often walks in the palace, so he naturally knows what Eunuch Chang is.

He jumped up all of a sudden, didn't even bother to change his clothes, and didn't wear clogs, stepped on the snow, and walked to the gate like flying.
