All Over the World To Save My Wife

Chapter 17: The emperor and his daughter (16)

    ==============================

    "Your Highness..."

    The next day, Ling Yan wanted to avoid Gu Zhong temporarily

     

    "Sir! Where are you going in such a panic?"

    Gu Zhongding stared at her, with imperceptible dissatisfaction in his words.

    "My minister didn't wake up from a hangover yesterday, so I wanted to go back to rest early. I heard from the palace servant that it was His Highness who sent the minister back to the house last night, which really made His Highness laugh."

    Ling Yan lowered her head, unwilling to pay attention to Zhong's eyes that seemed to see everything.

    "Sir... don't you remember yesterday's drunkenness?"

     Keenly aware of the meaning implied in Ling Yan's words, Gu Zhong's voice turned cold a few times.

    "I'm ashamed to say, I always cut off when I'm drunk, I don't remember what happened when I was drunk, but is there something that offends Your Highness?"

    Ling Yan pretended to be innocent and was a little uneasy.

    “…no.”

    After a long silence, Gu Zhong spit out two words from his mouth.

    "Since Mr. is not feeling well, it's time to take a good rest, and I won't bother you alone."

    Ling Yan bowed her hands to say goodbye and returned to the Changli Palace in a trance. Suddenly, she fell ill and took half a month's sick leave.

    For half a month, Gu Zhong wandered at the gate of Changli Palace, looking through the gate of Zhongzhong Palace to the bedroom, but did not step in.

     

    No one ever bowed their heads, and I don’t know who this is a torture.

     

    Gu Zhong knew about this and held the memorial in his hand for a long time, but he never came to persuade him.

    The days ahead are busy.

    Ling Yan presses the dot to go to the court every day, and goes to the East Palace to dot Mao. Discuss political opinions with Gu Zhong and make suggestions. The two talked about official business as usual, but they no longer made any outrageous actions.

    Nothing seems to have changed, and nothing seems to have changed.

    Gu Di ordered a special department in the Tingwei Department to investigate the assassination of the princess, but a group of detective experts were like headless flies. The clues were broken too thoroughly. Putting it down, only the Zuo clan, which seemed to be out of place, remained.

    After the Zuo clan was deported to Xijing, they have been under house arrest in the Courtyard outside the palace.

     

      I'm just afraid that it will be attacked by a group.

    At this point, perhaps this assassination case can only become an unsolved case.

    The assassination case was put aside for the time being. With the help of Emperor Gu to choose a husband for himself, Gu Zhong could be considered to have found the opportunity to attack the aristocratic family. According to Ling Yan's layout and planning, he planned step by step. Of.

     

    As a result of this attack, Gu Zhongkejin reduced a lot of land quotas for the aristocratic family, restricted their rituals, and cut off some marginal children from small and medium-sized official positions.

      For a serious matter that hurts the bones, Quan should only please His Royal Highness the princess.

    In addition to tossing the family, Gu Zhongben wanted to ask Emperor Gu to order the restriction of the spread of witchcraft, but was rejected by Emperor Gu, always feeling that Emperor Gu was afraid of something.

    In desperation, Gu Zhong can only publicly express his dislike for Shamanism. I hope the officials below will understand this intention and stop creating another country within a country.

    The religious issue in Beiling has not been resolved so far, which has caused a headache for the newly appointed county governor.

    As for husband selection, except for the occasional invitation to travel with the children of those noble families, Gu Zhong seems to have forgotten about this matter, which dragged on for more than half a year, but Gu Di did not rush her until the censor Cheng brings this up again.

    The aristocratic family couldn't understand, no matter from which aspect, Gu Di and Gu Zhong would never really choose a son of an aristocratic family as their royal husband.

    The so-called husband selection is nothing but a carrot hanging in front of the aristocratic family, tempting them to give up some seemingly insignificant interests.

    "Master Ling..."

    Today, Ling Yan was stopped. It was Chen Moxian, who still wore a gentle mask.

    Since the incident in the North, I was first promoted to the Lieutenant's Office, and then transferred from the Tingwei Office. However, I was promoted to another level within half a year, and now I am Tingwei.

    This person is indeed a well-trained former prince, and his ability is indeed stronger than many others.

    "Ting Weicheng, what's the matter?"

    Only every time he took the initiative to appear in front of Ling Yan, it always made her feel uneasy.

    Chen Moxian made a bow first, "Lord Ling also heard today, His Highness's marriage has been delayed for a long time and there is no news, presumably those noble family members have never entered His Highness's eyes..."

     

    "It's a little hard to say... The lower official has been in love with His Highness for a long time..."

    Chen Moxian didn't seem to notice her impatience and continued.

    "You should tell His Highness this..."

    Ling Yan felt that he was showing off at this time, just because he was able to express his love for Gu Zhong openly and honestly, no matter if it was false or sincere.

    "Your Excellency is joking, it is difficult for a lower official to say a few words to His Highness, so I can only come to your Lord for advice."

    Ling Yan looked at him in amazement. If she understood correctly, he was asking her how to please his wife. Are they familiar with each other?

    This man really dares to think.

    Falling into shock, Ling Yan was unable to speak for a long time.

    "Sir?"

    An idea flashed in Ling Yan's mind, and divided it!

    She spoke slowly.

    "Ting Wei Cheng, do you know what's the crime of peeping at the concubine? If you can make enough achievements in the Ting Wei Office, you will naturally impress His Highness, and you don't need to do such things. thing."

    Stop this sentence and leave, leaving Chen Moxian to speculate alone.

    Have enough achievements in the court office, is there anything more important than solving an assassination case?

    This depends on how eager Chen Moxian is, eager to eradicate dissidents, completely control the entire former dynasty, eager to become a candidate for the husband-in-law of the imperial concubine, for his great cause of restoring the country Pave a smooth path.

    Great work always requires sacrifice.

     

    In the original book, Chen Moxian's experience of becoming the emperor's husband was not so bumpy, with outstanding ability, the champion of the new division, and he fell in love with his wife at first sight.

     

    Now that the chessboard has been disrupted, everyone is a chess piece. Only by becoming a chess player can you be qualified to play.

    Nowadays, Gu Zhong has no feelings for Chen Moxian. Even though he is a rare talent in the middle and poor families, there are several newly admitted jinshi this year. What he needs now is more Powerful chips.

   

    The answer is unquestionable. A month later, the Tingwei Department announced the result of the assassination of the concubine.

      It's the end of a post-autumn question.

    In order to save her beloved son, Mrs. Zuo handed over the secret box that Zuo Yingyuan handed over to her before her death, in exchange for a chance for her own son to live.

    She only knew that it was a big deal, so she didn't dare to show it easily, and she never let it go before. But under the life and death of his son, he could not take care of his husband's entrustment.

      , can peel off a layer of skin from these noble families.

    But the most notable of them is a secret letter asking Zuo Yingyuan to provide traces of his wife.

    Gu Di was secretly tracked down, and without disturbing anyone, he found out several Beiling aristocratic families who were involved in the previous dynasty and barbarians, and even that scene was almost buried Gu Zhong and the avalanche that opened the barbarian avenues for a day were all done by them.

    Gu Di was furious, and sent people to Luyi overnight to capture the entire family, escorted them to Beijing, and sent them to the court prison.

    There were several family members who could not stand the severe punishment, and they even revealed a lot of news, helping the court to overthrow the strongholds of several former chaotic parties in Beiling County, and even captured the former To a loyal general.

    "I don't know, you still remember the previous dynasty, if that's the case, why don't you ask you to be an official in another place?"

    Throwing the assassination case presented by the Tingwei Department on the ground, Gu Di was furious, and the next ministers trembled and knelt down to plead guilty.

    In another place, isn't it the underworld?

     

    Fortunately, Emperor Gu is still sensible, knowing that the aristocratic family can't run out of gas for a while, and will only cut off the first few, and all the collaterals will be tattooed and exiled to the southern border.

    As for Zuo's family, Zuo Yingyuan is dead, but the head has not been found yet, which is suspicious.

    In addition to the matter of peeping on the whereabouts of the concubine, even if there is no obvious evidence to point him to more involvement with the previous dynasty, even if Mrs. Zuo's report is successful, the entire Zuo family will be cut into white, and continue to circle Banned in Beijing.

    Such a shocking case was solved, the first credit goes to Chen Moxian, the court official was implicated in his family, and he asked himself to be released. The speed of his promotion can be called the first person in the dynasty.

    If it weren't for him being too young, I'm afraid he would have become one of the nine masters.

    Not to mention Chen Moxian's great achievements, one step to the sky, or taking this opportunity to fight against differences and control the old department.

     Looking at the benefits obtained by the royal family, it is real.

    The layout of the former Northern Mausoleum was destroyed for many years, and its vitality was severely damaged, and the Northern Mausoleum returned to the control of the imperial court.

    The power of the aristocratic family has been cut again and again. In just one year, the power has declined, and the imperial power has become more prosperous. If you want to implement the new policy in the future, the resistance will be much smaller.

    Chen Moxian sells his hands for glory, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

    As for how he explained to his old department and how not to be bitten back, it was his own business.

    Everything seems to be going as smoothly as Ling Yan imagined.

     

    Gu Zhong this is... promise?
