Chapter 810 You know it too

The second person invited to the government office was Gu Xiujin, the chief servant of Zhenyuan Palace.

This was something that no one expected. Lin Ye suddenly invited Gu Xiujin. It could be said that he was looking for someone normally, but it could also be said that it was a bit excessive.

If he really wanted to ask Gu Xiujin about something, with Gu Xiujin’s identity, it would not be an exaggeration for Lin Ye to go to Zhenyuan Palace in person to ask. Even if Lin Ye didn’t go in person, he could still ask his subordinates to visit Gu Xiujin.

Show the present, rather than pass on the past and show the present.

Gu Xiujin has not appeared in the public eye for a long time. This once famous big shot seems to have become a bit lonely now.

Loneliness is not terrible, what is terrible is abjection.

When the emperor was in Geling City, who dared not to take Gu Xiujin seriously?

Even Ning Weimo, the prime minister at the time, had to be polite when speaking in front of Gu Xiujin.

The emperor had said more than once that if Gu Xiujin was not a chamberlain, then maybe the position of Prime Minister Dayu would be his and not Ning Weimo's.

The emperor said this, as long as he is not stupid to the core, he will not be contemptuous of Gu Xiujin.

However, the world is changing at a speed that is staggering.

People were surprised that the emperor did not take Gu Xiujin with him on his inspection tour, but they did not underestimate him. Everyone felt that the emperor leaving Gu Xiujin was equivalent to leaving another assistant minister for Xin Yanque.

However, after Xin Yanque came to prison, his attitude toward Gu Xiujin seemed a bit surprising.

No matter where Xin Yanque goes, he doesn't take Gu Xiujin with him. Logically speaking, when he goes to Nushan Camp, Gu Xiujin should be by his side.

Therefore, gradually rumors began to spread, saying that Gu Xiujin had offended the prison prince because he spoke too frankly.

Others said that it was because he secretly sent someone to see General Lin Ye to sue His Highness the Prince, and Xin Yanque found out about it, so he treated him coldly.

Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, it was true that the prince had a cold attitude towards him and would not discuss anything with him, because many people in the palace witnessed it with their own eyes.

Others say that the attitude of the chamberlains in the palace towards Gu Xiujin is not as good as before.

It is said that the apprentice trained by Gu Xiujin himself is more popular than Gu Xiujin in front of Xin Yanque.

Now that little eunuch has been promoted to deputy chief chamberlain, and he is a little arrogant in front of Gu Xiujin.

Others said that the nobles in the harem were full of resentment because the emperor did not take them with him on his tour. Seeing that Gu Xiujin had lost power, they began to vent their resentment on him.

It was said that Gu Xiujin was now alone, and all the eunuchs in the palace felt that he was in trouble and began to move closer to the deputy general manager.

There are also rumors that the deputy general manager came to Xin Yanque and said that his name was not good enough and asked Xin Yanque to give him a name.

Xin Yanque actually agreed and named him Xin Yue.

This name seems to have a lot of meaning.

Gu Xiujin's apprentice became even more domineering in the palace after he was given the name by Xin Yanque.

Especially after Xin Yanque went to the Nushan camp, he acted like a real steward in the palace.

The people below were all stopped by him when they wanted to find Gu Xiujin. If anyone came to find Gu Xiujin, he would scold him. Before long, he had the final say in all matters in the palace.

He also went to the harem and tried his best to please the concubines. The nobles in the harem also felt that Xin Yue's name had profound meaning, so they deliberately got close to him.

Xin Yue...of course she was able to please Xin Yanque, so she got this name.

At this moment, at the gate of the government office, Lin Ye stood waiting for about two moments.

Of course he knew when the person sent to pick up Gu Xiujin would arrive, and of course he could wait for his subordinates to notify him that Gu Xiujin was coming soon before waiting at the door.

He doesn't even have to wait here at all, because he is the Duke of the country, a high-ranking official, and a general with a heavy army.

But he had to come early and wait.

, this is an attitude.

It won't be long before word gets out that the general is waiting for Gu Xiujin outside the door.

For Lin Ye, it was just a matter of waiting for two moments, but it was different for Gu Xiujin.

The moment Gu Xiujin got off the carriage, Lin Ye stepped forward quickly.

"Eunuch Gu."

Lin Ye cupped his fists.

Gu Xiujin quickly leaned down and saluted: "I've seen the general."

Lin Ye stretched out his hand to help him: "How many times have I said that there is no need to be so polite between you and me, and you should stop saying that rules are rules. My ears are getting calloused after hearing this."

After saying that, he took Gu Xiujin's hand and walked to the government office.

At this time, there were probably many pairs of eyes watching outside the Geling Mansion.

Lin Ye's every move outside the gate will be seen and will soon be transmitted back to the ears of their respective masters.

"It is said that you are not feeling comfortable in the palace these days?"

Lin Ye asked as he walked.

Gu Xiujin smiled gently and said: "There is nothing uncomfortable. Things are not as many as before now. I don't know how free I am, and I don't know how happy I am."

Lin Ye smiled.

He knew that what Gu Xiujin said was not ironic. Gu Xiujin had always wanted to take a break. Moreover, Gu Xiujin's level had long surpassed that of most people in the world.

Others think he is down and out, but he himself thinks he can just relax and enjoy himself.

The reason why some people dare to bully him is because of His Majesty's decree which is difficult to understand.

Before leaving Geling, His Majesty had decreed that if he did not return to Geling on the ninth day of September, Xin Yanque could directly inherit the throne and become the Emperor of Dayu.

If the emperor had said that he would come back, no one would dare to look down on Gu Xiujin.

But now there are only two months until the ninth day of September. If the emperor wants to come back, he should come back. If he doesn't come back now, then he probably won't come back.

So at this time, who doesn’t want to fawn over Xin Yue, who has more hope of becoming the most powerful chamberlain?

Everyone in the palace is saying that Gu Xiujin is already a person from the past.

Lin Ye said: "I just came back yesterday, and someone told me that people in the palace office dare to deduct your salary?"

Gu Xiujin smiled and said: "I can't spend any money, so I don't care if it's more or less."

Lin Ye said: "Some people say that the food delivered to you now is half less than before. The rice is brown rice and the vegetables are leftovers."

Gu Xiujin said: "The general knows that my residence can open fire. Most of the time I cook by myself. I can cook whatever I want. It's rare for me to be at ease."

Lin Ye nodded: "I understand."

He turned back to look at Pang Panghai, without giving any orders, Pang Panghai nodded immediately.

Gu Xiujin was not taken to the government office lobby by Lin Ye, but went to the backyard study.

The soldiers had already made tea for them, and after the two entered the door, the soldiers withdrew.

Lin Ye sat down and pointed at the tea: "This is the tea you gave me when I left Geling last time. I didn't finish it, so I brought it back."

Gu Xiujin picked up the tea cup and smelled it, then smiled and said: "If this tea is kept for a long time, the taste will be worse. The general should..."

Lin Ye said: "I always like to keep things that others give me."

Gu Xiujin was startled.

Lin Ye said: "I didn't go to Zhenyuan Palace, but sent someone to pick you up. You won't blame me, right?"

Gu Xiujin said: "How could it be possible? I understand what the general meant by bringing me here. He wanted the people in the city to see that even the chamberlain and the chief chamberlain had to go to the government office for questioning. The same goes for everyone else.

As long as the general goes to pick him up, he has to come."

Lin Ye said: "I just wronged you."

Gu Xiujin said: "I have long wanted to go out for a walk, but I am too lazy to walk around alone. This time is just in time to see the people and things outside the palace."

Lin Ye said: "From the time I entered until now, you have never asked me about the palace.

The next thing."

Gu Xiujin smiled.

Lin Ye said: "I just guessed that if there is one person in Geling City who knows where His Highness is, it is you. If there are two people who know, plus Ning Weimo."

Gu Xiujin still smiled.

After a while, Gu Xiujin couldn't help but ask: "Since the general has guessed it, he still doesn't ask me where His Highness is."

Lin Ye said: "Don't ask."

Gu Xiujin asked: "Why not ask?"

Lin Ye looked at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Gu Xiujin smiled and said: "General, it is better to really not know than to pretend not to know."

Lin Ye also smiled.

From then on, the two of them didn't talk about any official business. They only talked about the past. The soldiers outside the door heard the laughter of the two from time to time. It seemed that they had rarely heard the general laugh so heartily.

An hour later, Pang Panghai arrived outside the study door and leaned over: "General, we've arrived, it's time to ask questions."

Lin Ye hummed, looked at Gu Xiujin and said, "You rest, you will live here for the next few days. I will barbecue for you in the evening, and my cooking skills are better than before. Now you just have to carefully prepare your words to praise me."

After saying that, he stood up.

Gu Xiujin didn't say anything or express anything, but when Lin Ye went out, his eyes turned slightly red and became moist.

Lobby.

Lin Ye took a look after entering the door and saw a group of chamberlains standing in the lobby, including the deputy chamberlain named Xin Yue.

When they saw Lin Ye arriving, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Why did you invite Gu Xiujin here first?

???????????????Because Gu Xiujin was still the head chamberlain. Regardless of whether he was sidelined or not, his position was still there, and his apparent status remained unchanged.

Even Gu Xiujin could be invited to the government office to inquire about the case. If they didn't come, Lin Ye would have to talk to them.

"Who is from the internal office?"

Lin Ye asked after sitting down.

Several chamberlains hurriedly leaned over. The leader was the head of the Internal Affairs Office, named Gao Ming. He responded to Lin Ye: "Come back to the general, we are here."

Lin Ye asked: "On the day before His Highness left Geling, what did the people in the internal office prepare for His Highness?"

"What are you preparing..."

Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "When His Highness left Geling, he did not ask the internal office to prepare anything for His Highness."

Lin Ye said: "Is it never, or have you forgotten?"

Gao Ming recalled it again carefully, shook his head and said, "It is true that I didn't ask the internal office to prepare anything."

Lin Ye said: "I haven't asked you to prepare, so you don't prepare anything?"

Gao Ming was stunned again.

Lin Ye said: "Your Highness was alone when he left Geling, and he was also alone when he arrived at my camp in Jingzhou. I asked His Highness why there were no carriages and horses to serve him, and His Highness said that he couldn't wait."

He pressed forward and asked, "Your Highness said you can't wait, not that you haven't asked for it."

Gao Ming's expression changed a little.

He immediately said: "General, if Your Highness asks the internal office to prepare something, I will definitely remember it and prepare it for Your Highness. How dare you disrespect His Highness when traveling."

Lin Ye asked: "Do you remember how many clothes His Highness asked the Internal Affairs Office to prepare that day for ordinary people to wear?"

Gao Ming suddenly came to his senses and quickly leaned over and said, "We are indeed ready. I was just negligent and forgot to tell the general."

Lin Ye said: "You are so negligent in your duties, what use do you have?"

Gao Ming immediately said: "Those clothes were prepared by Gu Xiujin... Manager Gu personally for His Highness, so they were not prepared by the internal office at all."

Lin Ye frowned: "How dare you quibble."

He raised his hand and waved two fingers outward. Peng Panghai went up and grabbed Gao Ming's collar, picked him up and walked out.

The other soldiers came forward and couldn't help but say,

Everyone else in the internal office was also pulled out.

Lin Ye looked at Xin Yue and asked, "As the deputy general manager, you, as the deputy general manager, are doing things like this, shouldn't you know?"

Xin Yue said quickly: "General, I'm just the deputy general manager. I really don't know about these things. Gu Xiujin is the general manager, so he should know better."

Lin Ye nodded slowly: "Well...it turns out you know he is the manager."
