Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 70 Forgiveness
Gu Qinghua is not a soft-hearted person, especially after so many rounds of life-and-death struggles with the King of Political Affairs.

From the very beginning, she planned a counterattack with the goal of killing chickens for monkeys and annihilating the Zheng family.When Su Jun and Liu Jia actively carried out diplomatic activities in Shu, Liu Chengzhong actively selected and trained qualified salt officials, and local confidantes and merchants actively searched for evidence of Zheng's and Yuchang's crimes, Gu Qinghua basically worked out how to get Zheng's A catch-all plan.

She wants to win the Zheng family in one fell swoop, let the other three families and the king of politics take a good look at it, and let the "Second Sister" who has an ambiguous attitude take a good look at her determination to defend power.

Unexpectedly, Xianglin was very resolute in opposing her plan to annihilate the Zheng family.

Gu Qinghua couldn't help being a little annoyed: The Zheng family has been bullied so much, if she doesn't show them some color, what kind of emperor is she still doing!
In the past, she and Xianglin had different views on certain matters, and sometimes they even completely contradicted each other.After all, the backgrounds and environments in which the two grew up are different, and the gap in thinking is equivalent to several East African Rift Valleys!The disputes between the two always ended with her winning. Although Xianglin was very confused and puzzled by her way of handling things and thinking, she still reluctantly obeyed her in the end, and the final effect was not bad.

But this time, Xianglin's attitude of opposition was extremely firm.

After several times of disputes, there was no result, so Gu Qinghua stopped talking.Seeing her like this, Xianglin sighed softly, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant understands His Majesty's intention of killing chickens for monkeys to see, but this intention is not appropriate here! If Your Majesty does not want to push Wang and Cui into Mu The words of the old thief camp!"

Gu Qinghua was startled, then shocked in his heart, and then couldn't help wiping off a cold sweat!If Xianglin hadn't mentioned something, she would have made an irreparable mistake!

She only cared about her anger and couldn't hold it back for a while, and almost lost the calmness that a king should keep all the time.

That's right, destroying the Zheng family can indeed deal a severe blow to the king of political affairs, and he can let it out happily, but what about after that?What to do after that!
Afterwards, the Boling Cui family and the Zhaojun Wang family died sadly, fearing that they would follow in the Zheng family's footsteps, and maybe they would risk their lives and join the political king's camp from now on. For her, it was definitely not a good thing!And other businessmen saw Zheng's end like this, although they would feel awe of her, but how could "awe" compare to "respect"?Moreover, the Zheng family was a hero who founded the country, enjoyed great honors for generations, and fell to the end of exterminating the family. Even if she did not make mistakes as a king, her reputation would be damaged, which would chill the hearts of courtiers and Confucian scholars all over the world.

To her, getting rid of the Zheng family would do more harm than good.That being the case, why didn't she forgive Zheng Shi with a big heart and a broad mind?Anyway, after this battle, the Zheng family is essentially like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, and there is no danger to her at all, so what's wrong with keeping them to show their virtue as kings?
After Gu Qinghua figured it out, he looked at Xianglin and smiled. Xianglin is the person of this era, and she understands the rules of the game in this era better than her.How dangerous, she broke the rules!If you break the rules, you must pay the price!
Seeing her eyes, Xianglin knew that she had figured it out.

"Xianglin, thank you for reminding me, otherwise—"

"This is all my duty. I can share a little responsibility, and I feel at ease!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts were warm.

As a result, the two re-established a plan to calm the turmoil.Therefore, from the very beginning, all the relationships and incidents involved in it were cut off at Yuchang.Everything up to the Yuchang ship did not involve the Zheng family at all.

Nearly half a month after Gu Qinghua planned this, he received a letter sent by Su Jun to send it back quickly, and the letter also dissuaded her in the same way.Gu Qinghua showed the letter to Xianglin, and joked that she and Su Jun had a heart-to-heart and wanted to go together. Xianglin's complexion immediately turned bad, she snorted sullenly, and walked away without answering.

She could never change her disgust towards Su Jun.

After Su Jun made all the arrangements and returned to the palace, knowing that Gu Qinghua did not involve Mrs. Zheng, he was greatly relieved, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise! It was too late when I remembered this, it was just a fluke I sent a letter to dissuade you from my heart, but I don’t think His Majesty has already thought of it! It’s a waste of worry for my minister!”

After hearing this, Gu Qinghua glanced at Su Jun, forced a smile, with mixed feelings in his heart.She felt that she couldn't understand Su Jun more and more.

Although he gave her a very reasonable explanation about the late return from the palace last time, she didn't ask any more questions on the surface, but in her heart, she didn't believe his words.He didn't want to say it, so she didn't bother to ask.After all, she still needs his service, for as long as it lasts, it's not worth tearing her face for it.It's just that the original trust that she thought she could pour out her heart and lungs without reservation has been greatly reduced since then. If no one was available to Shu this time, she would not have sent him out at all, but Liu Jia was released after all. By his side, the two of them are well aware of the intention.

But he has no actual passive resistance to this. If he hadn't tried his best to strategize and negotiate with Shu, Gu Qinghua believed that it would not have achieved results so quickly.Moreover, he specially sent a letter to explain that the matter of the inexhaustible Zheng family was clearly not within his scope of responsibility, and he still reminded her. It can be seen that he is doing things for her wholeheartedly, and his loyalty is flawless.But if this is the case, why is she unwilling to explain that she already has doubts about him?The more Gu Qinghua thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he was really not sure about him!

Forcing himself to calm down, Gu Qinghua pondered and said: "Since I intend to let Zheng go, I will simply show them a big favor again. I am going to send an envoy to Qinghe to pass the decree, and order Zheng's family and his wife to accompany them. How do you feel about going to Tianshou Mountain to pay homage to our ancestors?"

Su Jun was taken aback, opened his eyes wide and said nothing for a while, "Your Majesty, this, this grace is too great! I'm afraid it's too much!"

Zheng used his power to control the market and sow public opinion. A careless handling would result in riots everywhere. If there are people with a heart to interfere with the chaos, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!
Such a serious crime is almost equivalent to conspiracy and rebellion. It is already very cheap for them to just seize and seal up the Yuchang.

Gu Qinghua smiled slightly and said: "Although that is the case, it is just that there are benefits to doing so, at least let them understand, let the world understand my position and intentions, and also, face the Taizu, face the ancestors When Liezong kowtowed and kowtowed, he also taught them to think about how hard it was for their ancestors to earn this family fortune, and to be vigilant, and to be more careful in their actions in the future!" Gu Qinghua has never been stingy with favors that can play an excellent role in appeasement and bribery.
