"Guozhang, I promised you to spare the Zhou family, but you may have made a mistake. I promised to spare their lives, but that doesn't mean I want to ensure their health for the rest of their lives, right? You taught this son yourself when he was a child.
If you don't treat him as a human being, he won't be able to be a human being when he grows up, so of course you, the father, will have to bear the consequences. It is really inappropriate for you to put the responsibility of incompetent parenting on me."
Are you kidding me, Zhou Jia deserves to have a good beginning and a good ending even with all the things he did that cost human lives?
Why does Zhou Guozhang think that he can escape unscathed in the end by committing crimes against nature and justice?
In comparison, although the original son's sons were stupid, at least they were not poisonous.
At this point, Gu Mo had nothing more to say.
"Zhang Guozhang, you should go home and take good care of yourself. The Zhou family still needs you."
Zhou Guozhang dragged his tired body out of the Yangxin Hall again. He was now so old that it was as if the wind could blow his body into pieces of rags and scatter them.
As soon as he came out of the Yangxin Hall, the queen's phoenix chariot was hurriedly carried over.
The queen almost shouted to Zhou Guozhang in a questioning tone: "Father, why did you come to the palace to find your majesty? Do you want your majesty to punish Feng Qing?"
She didn't even need an answer from Zhou Guozhang, she felt that she had already guessed the truth.
"Father, I am your daughter too! I sacrificed my own happiness, my beloved man and my children for the sake of the Zhou family. Why are you unwilling to step back for your daughter? Why do you have to fight with Feng Qing? You have already harmed me.
If his father is dead, will he still be killed?"
If it weren't for Zhou Guozhang's instruction, how could Zhou Jia come up with the plan to assassinate Wei Fengqing?
Fortunately Wei Fengqing was fine, otherwise how could she, the biological mother, have the honor to appear in front of him again?
The Zhou family felt sorry for her, but she didn't feel sorry for the Zhou family, she only felt sorry for her son. She couldn't let her son be hurt by the Zhou family again!
"Father, please remember! Fengqing is my child and my life! If anyone dares to hurt him again, I will fight tooth and nail! Even if you are my father!"
Zhou Guozhang was already very angry, but now he was scolded by the queen, and his face was very ugly.
What made him even more suffocated was that after Zhou Jia was rescued, he learned that he had become a eunuch. He didn't know what he thought, but he insisted on joining the palace as a palace servant.
He probably thought that since he was already like this, he might as well enter the palace as a eunuch and compete with Wei Fengqing for power.
No one in the Zhou family could stop him, and his series of operations made the world laugh at the Zhou family's jokes.
Zhou Guozhang finally couldn't hold back the waves of blows, and he died of anger at home half a month later.
Even if he was trying to save face, Gu Mo still had to attend the funeral.
She shed a few tears sincerely in front of all the court officials who came to express their condolences.
After the death of Zhou Guozhang, the situation in the DPRK and China became clearer. Because the foreign relatives faction was still confused about the future, many people were weighing the pros and cons before taking sides. Therefore, the Wei faction became the dominant one, like a raging fire cooking oil and flowers blossoming.
Many officials from the foreign relatives faction actually had no choice. Of course, they could choose Wei Fengqing's side, thinking that they might be able to save their lives, but the price would be to be infamous for thousands of years.
And once Wei Fengqing's regime is overthrown, what awaits them will be disaster for the entire family.
Therefore, they had no choice but to side with Gu Mo.
Even if you follow Gu Mo, the success rate is very low.
However, before that, they wanted to use Zhou Guozhang's remaining power to get more benefits from Gu Mo, so they kept silent and said that if Gu Mo didn't do anything, they would resign.
As a result, they spoke uprightly about resigning, and Gu Mo's note approving their resignation was approved.
Everyone, "..."
By the time everyone has formed their own teams, there will basically be only the Guards and Royalists in the DPRK. It is impossible for the neutral faction to hang around in the DPRK.
At this time, Gu Mo shrank back from being such a fussy person, and remained indifferent to government affairs as before.
However, the difference is that before, they were really indifferent, but now all government affairs are handed over to the royalists, allowing the royalists to directly confront the guards.
Royalist, "...?"
It wasn't like this before. It used to be a struggle between relatives and eunuchs. Although they were fighting in the middle, they didn't help either side. On the whole, they were just watching from afar. Why are they being dragged directly into the battlefield of the struggle now?
And now they have no choice but to stand in front and charge to their death.
Among them, Qian Shoufu, the leader, was the most confused. His fight with Wei Fengqing had both political and personal factors, but he never expected to be pushed to the front by Gu Mo alone.
Unhappy Qian Shoufu accused Gu Mo, but Gu Mo started a one-sided cold war with him, acting like you don't understand me, you don't satisfy my little emotions, you just don't love me.
She gave Qian Shoufu goosebumps, and he looked like a black man with a question mark face every day.
Your Majesty, we are comrades-in-arms, not gay friends!
Facing Qian Shouxu's silent accusation, Gu Mo said, "Shoufu, stop looking so gloomy. You are not the only one who can't do anything to me."
Qian Shoufu was confused, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Your Majesty, the court has recently reported that the Queen's moral character is lacking and she is not worthy of being the queen. What does Your Majesty think?"
In fact, it was to encourage Gu Mo to depose Queen Zhou, because after the fall of the Zhou family, Queen Zhou actually looked like a strong woman and started to interfere in the political affairs of the court.
Although she may not have accomplished anything, having this thought made Qian Shoufu and others unable to sit still, for fear that a new force would appear in the harem, and they would be intertwined with the Zhou family's intricate network of relationships.
Still turning to Wei Fengqing's side would be a big blow to the scholar-bureaucrats in the court.
Because there is only so much power, and if one more person shares it, they will have less power in their hands.
Speaking of deposing the Queen, Gu Mo actually thought that by deposing the Queen Zhou directly, the original wish would be fulfilled.
But the Zhou family has fallen, but Wei Fengqing has not yet. After all, she is Wei Fengqing's biological mother. If the mother and son suddenly come to a world reconciliation, wouldn't she have to play with herself first?
"Chief Assistant, the Zhou family is the Zhou family, and the Queen is the Queen. You should listen less and believe less those rumors."
The implication is that the queen's status is unbreakable, which makes Qian Shoufu heartbroken.
Qian Shoufu's lips twitched. Didn't your Majesty create those rumors yourself? You told me not to believe them? I really want to open the emperor's brain and see what's inside.
Qian Shoufu then said nothing more. The emperor left absolutely no room for settling accounts after the fall. Didn't the Zhou family make this clear?
Now that she doesn't want to touch the Queen, maybe she is holding back something bad. Why does he have to do something bad about the Emperor?
So Qian Shoufu resigned and left. Before leaving, he heard Gu Mo say quietly, "Anything that reaches the peak of flying dragons in the sky may turn into a powerful dragon with regrets..."
Qian Shoufu suddenly paused for a moment, and finally left as if nothing had happened.
