At nearly noon the next day, Gu Chengyu was thinking about Gu Wanqian's incident, so he looked for an opportunity to tell the prince that he had something to do and wanted to return home.
"As you expected, the map master is dead, and he really can't sit still. He first contacted Kuang Zhaoying, and then sent someone to the house of Mao Jinyuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, he was apparently going to ask Mao Jinyuan to work in this department.
Please plead for him in front of the palace and let him reinstate his position."
The prince looked at Gu Chengyu with admiration. Some people are born to be politicians.
"His goal is naturally not to reinstate his official position. We will wait and see what other changes he makes. I am afraid that there are many officials in the court who have colluded with him, and there will be a big purge in the court this time."
Gu Chengyu nodded. The prince now looked a bit like Emperor Huiming. This gave him some confidence in being loyal to the prince.
"I really didn't expect that our Dayan court would be infiltrated by so many forces from Daxing. This time we must eradicate these rats who are dormant in the dark and waiting for opportunities. Otherwise, the court will not be stable.
It will endanger the country and the country."
The prince could not help but sigh that his father's spirit was a little weak in his later years and he did not care much about the affairs of the government. He did not expect that it left so many hidden dangers.
"The forces that have infiltrated are not limited to his lineage. If we want to completely eradicate them, there is a long way to go."
Gu Chengyu shook his head. If Dayan's country is powerful and the king is upright and strong, and he is sensible and decisive, there is no need to be afraid of those little guys hiding in hiding, because they have no chance to be arrogant.
"Yes!" The prince nodded, convinced.
"However, it is beyond my expectation that you have such courage to let me release Xia Qing." The two of them have been feuding for a long time. Because of Min Feng's relationship, Gu Chengyu is regarded as a thorn in Xia Qing's side.
of.
If there was any oversight and Xia Qing defected to Daxing, it would be an advantage for the other party.
"Why did your Highness say this? I have never cared about my quarrel with him. As an official of the imperial court, I naturally want to share the worries of the king and the imperial court. Why do I always struggle with this grudge? I am not that kind of person.
A person with a small belly and chicken intestines.”
Gu Chengyu spoke in an understatement, but the meaning behind his words was intriguing.
Doesn't this mean that Xia Qing's structure is too small and he always wants to go against Gu Chengyu, but he doesn't know that he doesn't pay attention to him at all. It's as if he can destroy him with just a finger.
This is a bit arrogant in it, but I have to say that Gu Chengyu does have the capital to be arrogant.
"Your Highness, please be more careful about border issues. People from Daxing can come and go freely in Dayan. Who knows if Daxing's army will invade one day?"
"Why don't I know this? It's just that my father has sent Master Yin to the border before. Now there is no news from Master Yin. It's really worrying!"
At this point, the prince paused, and then the room fell into silence.
Ignoring the look from the prince, he didn't want to go to the border for the time being anyway. Even if he wanted to go, it wouldn't be now, let alone as a patrol censor or deputy commander.
an bg is too small and cannot play its role at all. He does not want to be restricted in doing things because of his authority. He also has to rely on power and money, which not only works hard, but also fails to please.
Gu Chengyu changed the subject and mentioned that he had something to do and had to go back home.
"An aunt in the clan has passed away, and she has no relatives in the capital. As a nephew, I still have to go to the funeral arrangements."
"That's right. You are her nephew, so it is your natural responsibility."
Gu Chengyu saluted and planned to exit the side hall, but did not want to be stopped by the prince again.
"Master Gu! I have wronged you regarding the assassin. I will compensate you in the future." The prince carefully observed Gu Chengyu's expression. Gu Chengyu had not mentioned a word about this matter in the past few days. Did he not have any thoughts in his heart?
Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although Lord Kuang's behavior of getting something for nothing has always been despised by the ministers. But I guess His Highness also has some compelling reasons, so I naturally can't take this matter to heart."
The prince curled his lips. Gu Chengyu really had a sharp mouth. It wasn't that he couldn't, but that he couldn't. This showed that he was still dissatisfied, just because of his status!
Besides, aren't there enough things in the court that take credit for merit? Aren't those courtiers disdainful in front of their faces, but behind their backs, making them look uglier than anyone else?
"You didn't tell the truth to the Queen Mother before. In the past few days, the Queen Mother has scolded you several times in front of me. How can the Queen Mother calm down without letting you suffer the loss? Moreover, in order to lure the snake out of the hole, it is not unfair to lose this little credit."
The prince felt upset when he thought of the queen. However, he was doing this for Gu Chengyu, so he naturally wanted Gu Chengyu to know.
"Then I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for rescuing the siege. Although it is true that I was in front of the Queen before, but it was my fault that I offended the Queen, so I resigned."
The prince shook his head and said that he could never take advantage of Gu Chengyu.
After Gu Chengyu turned around, he sneered in his heart. Did he use this matter to sell it? Does the queen hate herself just because of this matter? Does she think she is stupid?
No matter whether the credit is given to others or not, it will not make the Queen feel any less resentful towards him.
Gu Chengyu thought it was a bit strange. Logically speaking, his appearance would always be successful. A handsome young man like him should be loved by everyone and should be loved by everyone.
It feels so strange that a woman would hate him! "What a shameless thought! Haha!"
He turned around, almost bumping into someone, and immediately distanced himself from that person. He had been thinking too much in his mind just now, and because there was no murderous aura around him, he didn't pay attention.
"Master Gu, we haven't seen each other for a long time." A low-pitched voice sounded above Gu Chengyu's head. At this time, Gu Chengyu had already bowed and saluted.
Just after taking a quick look, I realized that this person was actually Prince Gong.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty!"
"Master Gu, there is no need to be polite!" Prince Gong's eyes were focused on Gu Chengyu, who seemed to have grown a lot taller. A young man of this age grew very fast.
"If the prince has nothing to say, I will leave first."
He was not familiar with Prince Gong, and his temperament was uncertain. If he wanted to talk about dealing with him, he would rather deal with Prince Jing. After all, he could probably guess Prince Jing's thoughts.
Prince Gong's eyes darkened, "Then I won't delay Mr. Gu. I would like to have a drink with Mr. Gu when I have the opportunity."
"It's your honor, I'm sorry, I'm resigning!" Gu Chengyu stepped back respectfully, then turned around neatly and walked away.
"Brother, Master Gu is really a tolerant person. No wonder his reputation spreads far and wide!"
Prince Gong turned around and saw Prince Jing standing behind him.
"Master Gu is a man, and talent is more important than appearance." Prince Gong's face darkened, and then he strode away.
"Of course yes!" Prince Jing looked at Prince Gong's back, his eyes full of calculations.
Gu Chengyu took a carriage and had just arrived in Nancheng when someone stopped the carriage.
"My master, I would like to ask you, Sir, to have a talk at Mingxiang Pavilion at the end of Youshi."
