"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu has just returned from the border. He must be very familiar with the situation at the border. Why don't you ask Mr. Gu to explain it to us in detail? Besides, Mr. Gu is a great strategist, so I guess he already has a countermeasure!"
Qian Lizong, the deputy captain on the left, glanced at Gu Chengyu beside him. After a while, this person was alongside him.
Two years ago, he was still in the sixth rank, but now he is in the same rank as him. He glanced at the prince Yao Qinglan on the other side, who was also in the third rank. Unexpectedly, Yao Qinglan actually picked up a treasure, this son-in-law
The future is bright! Even before we get married, the prospective son-in-law is already a third-grade official.
Looking at the look on Yao Qinglan's face, Qian Lizong snorted coldly. He didn't know who was unhappy at first, but after receiving the imperial edict, he put on a bad face for several days. Now Yao Qinglan is probably happy in his heart.
"Jinyu, come and analyze it for them!" The emperor ordered Gu Chengyu to come out.
This sound of Jin Yu stopped everyone present. Such an intimate address was really surprising. No matter how deeply attached the minister was to the Holy Family, no emperor had ever directly called him by his first name when he went to court.
of.
Even Gu Chengyu was stunned, but after a moment, he immediately came out and said, "Report to the emperor, I have been at the border for more than a month, and I know a little bit about the situation at the border."
"Not long ago, Prince Jing made a surprise attack on Prince Gong's weapons workshop. The two sides fought a fierce battle, which I believe you all know. This battle ended with Prince Jing narrowly winning and defending Fengqing Mansion. However, Prince Jing asked the capital commander for reinforcements midway.
Before this, the commander of the capital, Jing Hui, did not report it to the court, but made the decision privately. After that, both sides suffered no losses in this battle, so Prince Gong should not have made any changes recently."
"Gu Siqing, we all know what you said. Prince Gong will not make any changes for the time being, but that does not mean that there will not be any changes in the future. Furthermore, he has taken two cities in a row and has raised the banner of rebellion. The imperial court
It is absolutely impossible to let him go. As you said, his power is limited now, so it is better to take this opportunity to eradicate him. Lord Gu previously fought with Daxing's army and killed half of Daxing's army without spending a single soldier.
So much, I admire Lord Gu so much! I wonder if Lord Gu has any good ideas for Prince Gong?"
Lang Ping was transferred back to the capital, and naturally he had to go to court. The emperor's title to Gu Chengyu just now made him a little unhappy. The Shen family was completely finished. As the queen, Lang Ping's natal family should have been the most prestigious family in the capital.
.
However, the emperor has been lukewarm towards their Lang family recently, and the eldest prince is blind, which makes their Lang family panic. If the eldest prince cannot recover, the emperor will inevitably change the heir. What will the Lang family do?
?
The eldest prince is the eldest son. If other princes ascend the throne in the future, there will be no room for the eldest prince and the Lang family. But the emperor is indifferent to them, the Lang family, but he values Gu Chengyu so much. Moreover, Lang Ping was still in the palace to quell the chaos.
It was no small feat, so Lang Ping naturally felt even more aggrieved.
Previously, the court had been suggesting that the emperor order Gu Chengyu to fight against Prince Gong. With Gu Chengyu's ability, there is no doubt that it would be possible. If it happened, then everyone would be happy. If it didn't, then it would be a good thing to eradicate Gu Chengyu.
For this reason, many officials in the court agreed with this matter and even jointly submitted a memorial. Then the emperor not only suppressed the matter, but also became furious about it, angrily criticizing that there was no one in the court who could do anything, and Gu Chengyu was asked to do everything by himself.
What are they for?
After the emperor was furious, no one dared to mention the matter again. However, there were still those who were ignorant and insisted on challenging the imperial power. After being severely punished by the emperor, no one in the court dared to mention the matter again.
Otherwise, no one would have raised this matter after Gu Chengyu returned to the capital? Therefore, when he went to court today, all the ministers looked at Gu Chengyu with very complicated eyes.
At such a young age, he is already a third-level official, and he will be in a position of great importance in the future. How can this not make people envious?
The young man has a body like a pine tree and a face like a crown jade. The same official robe is worn on this person, which is simply pleasing to the eye. The temperament around him is always incompatible with the people around him. At first sight, it is really amazing.
Lang Ping couldn't help but glance at the emperor, and finally cursed in his heart, anyone who sees such a fairy-like young man might feel good about him, right? This emperor?
However, this person is not only very handsome, but also very talented. This makes people dislike him, especially people like them who have entangled interests.
Gu Chengyu felt the gazes around him and didn't take it seriously. Since he entered the palace, he has been baptized by these gazes all the time. He knew what these people were thinking, it was just that the emperor valued him too much!
"The purpose of Prince Jing's attack on Prince Gong's weapons shop is self-evident. If he is truly loyal to the imperial court, he should naturally report it to the imperial court first. Regardless of whether he has made it clear or not, there is no need for him to have treasonous intentions.
Doubtful. According to Wei Chen’s suggestion, capture one of them first to prevent them from forming an alliance and making it more difficult to deal with. Prince Jing’s foundation is still shallow now, so it should be relatively easy to deal with Prince Jing first.”
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, although Prince Jing said he had great strategies, his foundation was still too shallow after all. Furthermore, this person was too calculating and he could not be allowed to continue.
He was not afraid that there would be Prince Jing's minions in this dynasty. Anyway, he had already made it clear to Prince Jing that he was only loyal to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have some objections! It is understandable that Prince Jing made such a mistake. The situation was critical at that time. If he had not gone to command the envoys to ask for help, Fengqing Mansion might have been occupied by Prince Gong at this moment.
Based on this, it is really untenable to say that he wanted to rebel."
"As for the sneak attack on the weapons workshop, Prince Jing had every reason to evade it, saying that he was afraid that Prince Gong would move the weapons workshop. The border pass was too far from the capital. If he had waited for him to report it to the court first, it would have been too late to stop it. These reasons were too great.
It's too far-fetched. If you really attack for this reason, the emperor will definitely be ridiculed by everyone in the world. Just because you have just ascended the throne, you wantonly eradicate dissidents, which will be harmful to your reputation."
Hu Maoshen immediately came out. Gu Chengyu said that he had to deal with Prince Jing first, so naturally he couldn't stand by and watch. The emperor had just eliminated Wu. Although it was announced to the world that Wu was treason, there were always some gossips, and the emperor would not fail to understand.
If we continue to rush to eradicate the remaining brothers, those rumors will definitely become more rampant.
"Reason?" Gu Chengyu smiled. There are many reasons! Isn't this what these people are very good at? If they want to pull you down, they can lay any groundless charges on you.
Is Hu Maoshen anxious? After all, he is from the lineage of Prince Jing.
"It's done. When you go back, you all draw up a charter for this matter. We'll discuss it in the morning meeting tomorrow!" The emperor had a headache. At this point in the morning meeting, he just felt dizzy and wanted to leave the court as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty! Now that the eldest prince fell into the water and lost his sight, the matter of establishing the crown prince has been delayed. I believe that the emperor should find a virtuous prince to establish him as the crown prince. This matter must not be delayed."
