Did you see that it was only because of Jiangshan Sheji that I turned a minor problem into an incurable disease? Are you embarrassed to watch my family die?
Gu Mo said, "The head of state does not have to worry about the country and the country. There are many pillars in the court and the country has them. The head of the country just needs to take good care of his health."
Zhou Guozhang was now not sure whether Gu Mo really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he had to get straight to the point, "Please show mercy to your majesty, save this veteran and his family, and give this veteran a chance to continue serving the country!"
Gu Mo's expression was blank, "Master, aren't you embarrassing me? I'm not a doctor, how can I save you?"
"Didn't His Majesty say before that you have seen exactly the same case as the old minister in a medical book?"
"Yes, I just accidentally read it in a book and thought it was somewhat similar to Guozhang's illness. I didn't expect it to be true."
"The book doesn't say how to treat it?"
"I threw the book aside before I finished reading it. I don't know, there must be something..."
These two words should have given Guozhang great hope.
"Your Majesty, what is the name of that book? Where is it now?"
"It seems to be called Gu's Medical Records. My ancestor was once a doctor, so it should have been passed down from our ancestors. But when Lao Ba left, I had nothing to give him, so I gave that book to Lao Ba.
.”
At this moment, Zhou Guozhang felt a chill in his heart: "Where is His Highness the Eighth Prince now?"
"How do I know this? The queen asked me to cut off all ties with them. I have never contacted them since they left the palace."
Zhou Guozhang almost vomited blood. Should he be asked to find the Eighth Prince now? Where to find him? Is it still too late to find him?
Zhou Guozhang was really a little angry at Queen Zhou at this moment. Why did he encourage Gu Mo to demote him as a prince? It had harmed his own father and the entire Zhou family.
Unable to bear it for a moment, Zhou Guozhang taught Queen Zhou a lesson again.
Queen Zhou was so wronged that Gu Mo acted like a good old man and spoke for Queen Zhou while comforting Zhou Guozhang. Finally, seeing that the Queen was really uncomfortable, he let her go out first.
Zhou Guozhang now asked Gu Mo with a very humble attitude, "Your Majesty, please post the imperial list and ask the Eighth Prince to return to the capital with medical records immediately!"
Gu Mo rubbed his hands and said, "Monarch, you said that I have demoted him, so I am too embarrassed to find him again. Besides, even if I am willing to put down my dignity and let him come back, he will be willing to hand over the medical books when he comes back."
come out?"
Gu Mo said, "Now the whole world knows that I demoted him to a commoner for the sake of the queen. You are the father of the queen. If he knows that the medical book is to save the Zhou family, he must destroy the medical book immediately."
ah?"
Yes, it’s the Queen’s fault again.
Zhou Guozhang was speechless for a moment.
But then Gu Mo said again: "But I understand my son, especially Lao Ba, who is easy to talk to. As long as I give him some compensation, he will not hold a grudge to the end. What do you think, father of the country?"
"Then what compensation does Your Majesty think should be given to the Eighth Prince?"
"Then it depends on the head of the state, in your mind, what is the life of the Zhou family worth to you?"
Zhou Guozhang finally saw it.
It's not the Eighth Prince who wants compensation, it's Gu Mo who wants compensation. It doesn't matter if the Eighth Prince is satisfied or not, what's important is that Gu Mo wants to be satisfied.
Zhou Guozhang could only say: "Restore the imperial status of the eighth prince, make him a prince, and enjoy the food of ten thousand households."
Gu Mo, "The emperor forgot, Lao Ba was originally a prince, and he should have been named a prince." ωωw.
So this is not compensation, it is what he should have received in the first place.
"Besides, I was the one who ordered Lao Ba to be demoted, and now it's me who is trying to make him come back. This is also the price I paid, right? Mr. Zhou? How come it's your Zhou family who is compensating?"
Gu Mo was a little uninterested, "Now that things have happened, the most important thing for the father-in-law is money, power, wealth and honor, so there is nothing I can do about it. The father-in-law should take good care of his health. I will leave first."
To say that he values money and power, do you mean to ask him to use money to hand over power?
"His Majesty!"
Zhou Guozhang shouted: "Please let me know what I want to do to satisfy Your Majesty!"
"The father-in-law is also a great scholar in the dynasty, and his disciples are all over the government and the public. They obey the father-in-law's words, and they don't even listen to me. I, the emperor, really don't mean anything."
Gu Mo's honest and honest smile at this moment was like a cunning wolf, tiger, and leopard to Zhou Guozhang.
Because she actually wanted to take away from him the talent network that he had cultivated for decades without any effort.
However, he is now terminally ill and unable to save himself.
"Please also ask that your majesty will be in control when the time comes and you can give the Zhou family a way out."
Yesterday I was a powerful minister in the court, but now I have to worry about the fate of my family. It is true that life is unpredictable, and the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.
"Whether there is a way out depends on whether the father-in-law is sincere or not."
Zhou Guozhang knew that Gu Mo was warning him. If he was acting erratically and letting those disciples pretend to submit to her, then destroying the Zhou family would be the first thing Gu Mo would do after gaining power.
Zhou Guozhang had no choice. He was terminally ill, and his legitimate son and grandson were also ill. If the disease could not be cured, what was the use of having more disciples? Would he and Gu Mo die together?
As for Wei Fengqing, although he is his grandson, neither of them acknowledges the relationship. They usually fight to the death, and he even killed Wei Fengqing's biological father, so Wei Fengqing is obviously unreliable.
Don't even count on Queen Zhou.
Therefore, he had no choice but to choose Gu Mo, a fairly benevolent monarch, and give up the talent network he had developed for many years in order to give the Zhou family a chance to save their lives.
"Your Majesty, I will request a title for the eighth prince at tomorrow's court meeting!"
Zhou Guozhang took the lead in applying for the title, which meant that he completely surrendered to the emperor. Later, he gradually faded out of the court due to illness. If the Zhou family had no one to take over, then the influence of the foreign relatives would naturally be taken over by Gu Mo.
In addition, both the royalist faction and the neutral faction have already sided with Gu Mo. Gu Mo holds the real power of the court, which is enough to compete with Wei Fengqing. If he seizes the military power again, he can completely destroy Wei Fengqing.
Thinking of this, Zhou Guozhang realized how scary Gu Mo was.
Gu Mo had been pretending, right? Pretending to be stupid and dumbfounded played a big game of chess, and as a chess piece, he didn't even know when Gu Mo's chessboard was placed.
Zhang Guozhang simply couldn't imagine what Queen Zhou would do after Wei Fengqing was also destroyed.
Gu Mo's current behavior showed that she could not endure such a thing, so Queen Zhou's fate was already doomed.
And he couldn't plead for mercy, because now he could only do his best to keep the Zhou family, and he couldn't control a married daughter at all.
"Then there will be Lao Guozhang."
Gu Mo looked at Zhou Guozhang, who was heartbroken, with a smile, "By the way, Lao Ba's Ten Thousand Households of Food, the Guozhang won't let me go out, right?"
The dignitaries carried out land annexation, and the emperor's ability to control the country's land was long gone.
