Although what Gu Qiancheng did at the city gate was beautiful, it was too direct and too eager...
Gu Qiancheng is a little clever and quick-witted, but others are not fools. What is the purpose of Gu Qiancheng holding a tablet and having people carry the coffin to kneel three times and kowtow nine times at the city gate? Anyone with a brain can figure it out.
It was indeed the Gu family's fault in this matter, but was Gu Qiancheng not at fault?
Gu Qiancheng is a descendant of the Gu family, but he doesn't consider the Gu family when things happen. He obviously can solve the problem privately, but he ignores it and makes a big fuss, trampling on the Gu family's dignity.
Her behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal to the family. No head of the family would like to have such a junior in the family, and the old emperor is no exception.
Gu Qiancheng has been wronged, but there are many more wronged people in the world than Gu Qiancheng. If everyone makes such a fuss like Gu Qiancheng, what kind of chaos will the world become?
Master Feng understood what the emperor meant, so he did not defend himself and allowed the emperor to curse. It was not until the emperor finished cursing and his anger was almost gone that Master Feng knelt down to apologize.
The old emperor scolded him a lot, and his anger was almost gone. Seeing Lord Feng honestly apologizing, he didn't bother to argue with him and waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, please step aside. Don't bring such trivial matters to me again in the future. What a mess."
I have to take care of even the little things, as if I were the steward."
The big events for Gu Qiancheng and the Gu family are nothing more than trivial matters in the eyes of the emperor. They are really incomparable to the important events of the country.
"I accept my order." Master Feng should be happy, but only he knows what he will do next.
After Master Feng left, the old emperor and Qin Jiyan were the only ones in the royal study. The old emperor did not talk to Qin Jiyan and asked directly: "How involved are you in Gu Qiancheng's matter?"
"Invite someone to come forward for her." Qin Jiyan also acted decisively and sold Wu Ding.
"Really?" The emperor didn't believe it, "Without you, how could Gu Qiancheng escape from the Gu family?"
"My grandson sent someone to monitor Gu Qiancheng." Qin Jiyan responded again, but changed "protection" into "surveillance".
"Surveillance? You don't believe her?" The old emperor was doubtful, but Qin Jiyan nodded, "My grandson won't believe anyone who has no weaknesses."
Gu Qiancheng has no weaknesses. She doesn't care about her parents and relatives. She only cares about herself. Such a person is difficult to control. There is nothing wrong with Qin Jiyan. Although the old emperor was suspicious, he did not ask deeply. He didn't care how Qin Jiyan wanted to use people.
, what he cares about is how much Qin Jiyan does for a woman.
Fortunately, Qin Jiyan was not confused.
The old emperor was very satisfied. He pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for Qin Jiyan to sit down, "Don't worry about this anymore." Naturally, it was Gu Qiancheng's business.
"Yeah." Qin Jiyan responded, naturally mentioning the suicide of the student from the Goddess Tower, and told the old emperor his decision.
The old emperor sighed, "The Cheng family has also followed other people's rules. This matter has been reduced to a minor matter." It was just a few students who died. The total number of students who died in the old emperor's heart was not as good as the Cheng family, a confidant.
"Grandpa Emperor, Northern Qi is too strict with others. This matter cannot be suppressed." Qin Jiyan knew what the old emperor would say, so he told the old emperor that Mr. Cheng also agreed to announce the case. Finally, he spoke for Mr. Cheng.
A kind word: "Grandpa Huang, Old General Cheng is dedicated to serving the country, so I ask Grandpa Huang to make it happen."
"That old guy still has the same temper, that's all, I'll do as you say." The old emperor compromised quickly, so quickly that Qin Jiyan felt a little uncomfortable.
However, no matter how much discomfort he felt, Qin Jiyan could only keep it in his heart, and there were some things he couldn't ask about.
After talking about the Cheng family, Qin Jiyan continued to mention the matter of Northern Qi, "Grandpa Huang, the case at the border is full of doubts, and my grandson wants to investigate it again."
"What? What did you find out?" The old emperor raised his head, with a calm face but sharp eyes. Qin Jiyan did not dodge and looked at him calmly, "I didn't find anything, I just suspected that the case, that nobleman from Northern Qi was dead.
It’s just the right time.”
"Can you guarantee that we will find out something beneficial to us?" Of course the old emperor also doubted the cause of death of the noble from Northern Qi, but...
He sent Jin Yiwei to investigate, and the information he got was the same as what was reported by the local government, so he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it.
"I can't guarantee it, but I know that if we don't investigate, we will only be on the wrong side. Even if Wu Liulang is involved, we won't have the upper hand." Although Qin Jiyan didn't want to fight Beiqi, he didn't.
I am willing to let Northern Qi grant permission.
"Well..." The old emperor responded, but did not say whether he agreed or refused. He just looked at Qin Jiyan for a moment, as if he wanted to see through Qin Jiyan.
Qin Jiyan was not afraid, and sat there expressionless, with only his hair dancing in the wind.
After an unknown amount of time, the old emperor finally withdrew his eyes and said casually: "Who do you plan to take with you?"
"Gu Qiancheng," Qin Jiyan did not hide anything and explained without leaving any trace: "Bring her with you, the people of Northern Qi will not think too much about it. The case of Princess Wuyang seems to be related to Northern Qi. I want to investigate it together."
clear……"
"You are really smart." This was a pun. Qin Jiyan just pretended that he didn't understand. The old emperor didn't press him and just said: "If you can catch up, go ahead."
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Qin Jiyan stood up and saluted. The old emperor smiled and said lovingly: "I will stay and have dinner with Grandpa Huang at noon. I will go to say hello to Grandma Huang first. I will be there at noon."
This was to send Qin Jiyan away, so Qin Jiyan took advantage of the situation and went to the harem to meet the empress.
Qin Jiyan walked forward, and the old emperor called out the royal guards with his hind legs, and said with a sullen face: "Go and check for me, where is Wu Yun's coffin? Also check the matter between Gu Qiancheng and King Qin."
The commander-in-chief of the Jin Yiwei bowed his head in response and quietly retreated out.
After Qin Jiyan paid his respects to the queen, he did not stay in the queen's palace, but enjoyed the scenery in the garden. Although everyone did not understand what Qin Jiyan wanted to see alone...
Before going back, Qin Jiyan walked around the rockery, pulled out a piece of bamboo from an inconspicuous corner, and unfolded the note wrapped inside.
On it, it was clearly written that the old emperor had just ordered Jin Yiwei to do something.
Qin Jiyan was startled, then destroyed the bamboo as if nothing had happened, crumpled the paper ball in his hand, and put it into the purse he always carried.
At noon, the old emperor came to dine with the empress and Qin Jiyan as expected. The empress was very happy, but the old emperor had a dark face and looked unhappy, which frightened the empress and did not dare to say a word.
The meal was so boring that Qin Jiyan just pretended not to know. After lunch, he asked to leave, but the old emperor forced him to stay and said, "Come with me for the next round."
The old emperor didn't give Qin Jiyan a chance to refuse. He directly asked his servants to start the chess game and motioned for Qin Jiyan to sit down opposite...
