289 Back to Beijing, the new position of General Yan
Qin Jiyan was originally a popular candidate for the crown prince, and now he is the focus of everyone's attention. There is an endless stream of people visiting the Prince of Qin's Mansion every day, but Qin Jiyan is nowhere to be seen...
Qin Jiyan did not take the opportunity to win over the ministers of the court. He still did what he had to do as before, and even kept a lower profile than before. Qin Jiyan's actions fell into the eyes of the old emperor and made him even more satisfied.
In the battle for the throne, Qin Jiyan was the only one who benefited, and Concubine Gu was the only one who benefited in the harem.
Among the four concubines, Concubine Xian was completely ruined because of King Rong’s affair. No matter how tragic the death of King Rong’s family was, it was a fact that King Rong had committed something. King Rong’s mother-in-law and his mother-in-law could not please him, and King Rong
The officials who came close were also imprisoned by the emperor one by one.
Although Concubine De and Concubine Shu were not abolished, King Zhao and King Zhou were ordered by the old emperor to think about their mistakes at home and were not allowed to go out unless they had a purpose. Concubine De and Concubine Shu naturally also fell into silence.
At this time, the concubines and beauties who relied on Concubine De, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu lost their support, and it was not a matter of raising a hand for Concubine Gu to rub them.
As for you saying that the fifth prince was also thinking about his past in the palace, how dare Concubine Gu be so arrogant?
If Concubine Gu is as silent as Concubine De and the other three, then she is no longer Concubine Gu. Not to mention that the fifth prince was forgiven by the old emperor and was only punished by copying scriptures. Even if the fifth prince was punished even more severely, what should Concubine Gu do?
Be as arrogant as you want...
Concubine Gu does not need to be virtuous, sensible, and tolerant. Arrogant, domineering, and brainless are the labels that Concubine Gu has in the palace. She just does not need the taboos of the old emperor.
However, no matter how arrogant Gu Guifei is, she can't go too far. Of course, it is useless even if Gu Guifei goes too far. With so many things happening recently, the old emperor has no intention of coming to the harem.
King Rong is mourning. Although I don't have to keep filial piety to my son, I won't hang out in the harem before my son is buried. The old emperor wants to be a wise king.
Prince Rong's funeral was scheduled to be handled by Prince Rong. As for how to deal with Prince Rong, the old emperor did not give a clear attitude, and the courtiers did not ask Zhezi.
In this battle, in addition to the death of a Rong Wang, a group of Beijing officials were also dismissed. The six departments were in short supply of personnel, so the urgent need was to redeploy manpower to fill the vacancies.
In addition, because two vicious murders occurred in the imperial city in a row, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the commander of the imperial army. The emperor immediately dismissed the leader and now wants to find a replacement.
The commander of the Forbidden Army holds a large number of troops and is responsible for the safety of the capital and the palace. This person must be the emperor's confidant, and must be extremely cautious when selecting.
The old emperor had a candidate in mind, but he didn't know who to choose for the moment, so he called Master Feng and Master Jiao to ask. Among the three candidates, Master Jiao chose the name of General Feng, and Master Feng chose a man named General Feng.
Li's general, but the emperor finally made his decision!
Master Feng and Master Jiao just smiled at the old emperor's choice and did not take it seriously.
The emperor and his ministers have been together for so many years, and they can guess a thing or two about the emperor's thoughts. The so-called indecision is just a test of their sincerity.
Lord Jiao and General Feng were closer than others because their children were all Qin Jiyan's companions. The General Li chosen by Lord Feng was a Confucian general, which was exactly the type Lord Feng admired.
The choices made by Master Jiao and Master Feng followed his own heart without any concealment. The Emperor was very satisfied with them.
The commander of the imperial army was selected, the prisoners were imprisoned, and the riots in the capital were almost calmed down. What was left were the officials who slowly made up for the losses, and the funeral affairs of King Rong's family. These have nothing to do with ordinary people.
Gu Qiancheng, Feng Sijin and his party stayed in the villa outside the city for more than half a month. It was not that they did not want to come back, but that the previous mass murder of seven imperial officials had not been concluded, and the imperial city was directly closed, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
.
Now that the case was settled, the Imperial Guard commander was in place, and the gate to the imperial city was reopened. Gu Qiancheng and Feng Sijin did not dare to stay any longer, and the group decided to go back tomorrow morning.
Gu Qiancheng spent half a month in the villa very leisurely. Gu Qiancheng used the excuse that Gu Qianmeng fell into the water and caught the cold, so he directly asked Gu Qianmeng to "recuperate" in the room and did not let her go out at all.
Gu Qianmeng knew that she was wrong and did not dare to refute Gu Qiancheng's words. In fact, Gu Qiancheng did not say a word and Gu Qianmeng had no shame in going out.
After falling into the water, Gu Qianmeng knew very well that not only did she lose her face among the rich and powerful, but she probably didn't have a good reputation among these clean officials. Let alone marrying into the Kong family, it would be good if she married into a good family.
.
Gu Qianmeng stayed peacefully in the house and did not cause trouble. Gu Qiancheng had a lot of time. He chatted with the girls in the other courtyard every morning and admired the flowers. In the afternoon, he accompanied Chengyi and the younger brother of the Feng family to read.
Occasionally I play chess with Feng Sijin.
Jing Yan would come over often, always using Cheng Yi as an excuse, and Gu Qiancheng would not expose him. Whenever Jing Yan came over, she would leave. Jing Yan also tried to talk to Gu Qiancheng, but Gu Qiancheng did not
How enthusiastic, Jing Yan said she listened, but didn't respond even a word.
Jing Yan has always been very comfortable in interpersonal communication. This time when he kicked Gu Qiancheng, Jing Yan was not only not angry, but also full of interest. The more frustrated he got, the more courageous he became. No, as he was about to enter the city, Jing Yan came over again.
Already...
"Qiancheng, should Chengyi go home with you, or go back to the academy directly? If you go back to the academy, Chengyi should come with me. I happened to be the one who brought Chengyi." Jing Yan didn't notice anything, he was familiar with it.
It's like an old friend.
Gu Qiancheng was very polite to Jing Yan and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Jing. Chengyi will go back to the academy directly, but there is no need to trouble Mr. Jing, I will take Chengyi back."
"No need to go to such trouble. The Gu family is too far away from the academy. You have to send Chengyi to the academy. When it gets dark when you get back to the Gu family, I can just take Chengyi back." Jing Yan completely ignored Gu Qiancheng's politeness and
Alienated and self-centered, Gu Qiancheng did not answer, only smiled faintly and refused silently...
It's like this every time. Feng Sijin found it interesting when they first met, but over time it became boring.
Jing Yan did not give up, and repeatedly persuaded: "I'm really worried about you walking home at night as a girl. Qiancheng, you don't have to be polite to me. Just agree to go to the academy with me. We'll do it if you go home early."
rest assured."
Gu Qiancheng only smiled and did not answer. Jing Yan did not change his face and still looked at Gu Qiancheng with a smile on his face, gentle but unyielding...
The younger brother of the Feng family and Gu Chengyi sat on the left and right in front of the desk. They raised their heads in tacit understanding, smiled at each other, said nothing, and continued to read.
Anyway, the two of them have no decision-making power.
Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything. Jing Yan only thought that Gu Qiancheng agreed. Anyway, when setting off, Gu Qiancheng had to agree even if he didn't agree. He was sure that Gu Chengyi would never rest assured that Gu Qiancheng, a woman, was rushing home at night.
For Gu Qiancheng's safety, Gu Chengyi will go back with him.
But……
When he set out, Jing Yan discovered that there was someone who kept silent, but was actually the most sinister...
