Chapter 557 The Son of Heaven is also affectionate [2 more]
Gu Dayong is probably going to be in trouble. The crimes they listed in front of Chu Yi may have already worked. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to send Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei to come together.
If you think about it carefully, the reason why the emperor sent Dongchang, Xichang, and Jinyiwei together might not be because he wanted the three parties to contain each other.
After all, the emperor still has some nostalgia for Gu Dayong. Otherwise, he only needs to send people from Dongchang, and Gu Dayong can still leave.
A Gu Dayong would not dispatch the East Factory, West Factory, and Jinyiwei all at once, but the Emperor did just that.
"Hahaha, cough cough..."
Jiao Fang, who was on the side, noticed the panic flashing in Gu Dayong's eyes and couldn't help laughing.
While laughing, Jiao Fang pointed at Gu Dayong and said: "Gu Dayong, His Majesty calls you back to the palace, why don't you return to the palace quickly to face the Holy Spirit!"
Gu Dayong gritted his teeth, glanced at Jiao Fang fiercely, and sneered: "Jiao Fang, our family will come back again! I hope you can still smile so happily then!"
As Chu Yi's confidant, Cao Shaoqin naturally had a good relationship with Jiao Fang. Seeing Gu Dayong threatening Jiao Fang, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Gu Dayong: "General Manager Gu, it's time to go on your way, don't let anyone let you go."
Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a long time!"
Gu Da flicked his sleeves and shouted at the Dongchang fans, the Jinyi guards and even the Xichang fans who seemed to be surrounding him: "Get out of the way, I can walk on my own!"
Forbidden City
It was quiet in the imperial study room. A figure was sitting there. Only the sound of turning memorials could be heard. Several chamberlains stood there with their heads lowered, but they did not dare to make any movement.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Cao Shaoqin, Qian Ning, and Yu Huatian strode into the imperial study.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao, who was reviewing the memorial, seemed to have not heard it. He still lowered his head while reviewing the memorial. However, if someone stood next to Zhu Houzhao, they would find that it was not that Zhu Houzhao did not hear it. Even when several people saluted, he shook his head.
The hand that tightened the ink brush trembled slightly, leaving a drop of red dot on the memorial.
Zhu Houzhao didn't react at all. Qian Ning, Cao Shaoqin, and Yuhuatian who were kneeling on the ground naturally didn't dare to get up, and they all knelt there obediently.
I don't know how much time passed, but I saw Zhu Houzhao, who had been reviewing the memorial, put down the ink pen in his hand, and then looked at Cao Shaoqin, Yu Huatian, and Qian Ning.
Sensing the emperor's movement, the three of them were refreshed. At this moment, the emperor's voice sounded in their ears: "Where is Gu Dayong?"
Cao Shaoqin was the first to speak: "Reporting to your Majesty, Manager Gu is currently waiting for your Majesty's summons in the side hall!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, then signaled the three of them to get up and said: "Get up and wait aside."
After thanking the emperor, the three of them stood up. At the same time, the emperor summoned Gu Dayong.
He was half-escorted and half-guarded by the three men of Cao Shaoqin and brought back to the palace. If this was the case in the past, Gu Dayong could go to see the emperor at any time, but this time he was placed in the side hall.
I have not experienced this kind of treatment for at least many years. You must know that in the past, Gu Dayong existed as the emperor's personal servant. Although he did not dare to say that he could see the emperor whenever he wanted, but he would not
Like now, sitting in the side hall waiting for the emperor to summon him.
Sitting in the side hall, Gu Dayong's expression was changing, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
Gu Dayong knew very well that there must be a reason that he didn't know about the sudden change in the emperor's attitude towards him.
As for what it was, Gu Dayong didn't dare to think deeply, because Gu Dayong was afraid.
If everything he did was known to the emperor, then how should he face the emperor?
For a moment, Gu Dayong felt a little regret in his heart, wondering if he had gone too far, but soon Gu Dayong defended himself in his mind.
Just as Gu Dayong was sitting in the side hall, feeling uneasy, he saw the little eunuch guarding outside the door saying to Gu Dayong: "Chief Gu, your Majesty has summoned me!"
Gu Dayong suddenly stood up and strode forward. Soon his face was filled with smiles. He walked into the imperial study room. Gu Dayong ran quickly and rushed to Zhu Houzhao's desk. He knelt down at Zhu Houzhao's feet and said
: "Old slave has seen His Majesty!"
If this had been the case in the past, Zhu Houzhao would have laughed and scolded him to get up, but this time it was different.
After Gu Dayong bowed down, Zhu Houzhao looked down at Gu Dayong with a complex expression on his face, but did not immediately let Gu Dayong get up.
Although Gu Dayong couldn't see Zhu Houzhao's reaction, lying there, he seemed to feel the hesitation in Zhu Houzhao's heart. He couldn't help but panic in his heart, and even his body lying there was trembling faintly.
After a dozen breaths passed, Gu Dayong's heart almost sank to the bottom. Only then did he hear Zhu Houzhao say: "Daban, please get up!"
He breathed a slight sigh of relief. When Gu Dayong got up, he staggered and almost fell. This shows how panicked this made Gu Dayong.
He looked at Gu Dayong indifferently. Now when Gu Dayong looked at Zhu Houzhao, he didn't see the kind kindness in the past. Instead, he was full of imperial majesty. That imperial majesty appeared in Gu Dayong's eyes.
This made Gu Dayong feel a thump in his heart.
It was at this time that Zhu Houzhao suddenly got angry, and suddenly smashed the memorials on the table towards Gu Dayong, and said angrily: "Gu Dayong, these are all good things you did,
It really makes me angry!"
A bunch of memorials hit Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong swayed, his heart trembled, and he looked over subconsciously.
Right in front of him, there was a memorial scattered, and the content written on that memorial was shocking.
This memorial was written by a prefect. A section of the Huaihe River embankment burst due to flooding, causing hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland to be submerged by floods. Hundreds of thousands of people suffered from flood disasters, with countless deaths and injuries, and mourning everywhere.
Just taking a glance at it, Gu Dayong felt a bit chill in his heart. He clearly remembered that the money for regulating the Huaihe River was the first amount of money he embezzled, amounting to millions of taels. Now the money is still hidden in
In the cellar of his house.
He thought it was just a part of the money to repair the river. There had been no flood disasters in the past years, so he spent the money with peace of mind. However, he did not expect that a flood disaster would occur.
Of course, it would be nothing if it was just a flood disaster. Key floods caused the dams to be washed away, which directly led to flooding and caused great losses.
The prefect sent a memorial directly to Tianting, actually impeaching Gu Dayong to the emperor, so Gu Dayong almost fainted after reading it.
There were at least a dozen memorials scattered on the ground, and Gu Dayong did not dare to look at the others. If these memorials were all meant to impeach him and expose his crimes, then it would be clear that the emperor's attitude changed drastically today.
No one else knew how many violations of law and discipline he had done, but Gu Dayong knew it very well. It was also the same reason that Gu Dayong was so frightened.
Gu Dayong, who had his head lowered, raised his head and looked towards Zhu Houzhao, and happened to see Zhu Houzhao looking at him with a look of disappointment and pain.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,Your Majesty, this old slave is wrong, this old slave knows that he is wrong, your majesty, please consider that this old slave has served your majesty for so many years, without any credit, but for the sake of hard work, give this old slave another chance.
Bar……"
Gu Dayong, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help but hugged Zhu Houzhao's legs tightly, and cried bitterly with tears in his nose. While crying, he talked about his past with Zhu Houzhao.
Obviously Gu Dayong also knew that Zhu Houzhao was a very affectionate person. If you really talk about the many things he had done, even cutting off his head a hundred times would not be enough. If he wanted to survive, he could only do it in the way he had done in the past.
Old love came to impress the emperor.
It has to be said that Gu Dayong knew Zhu Houzhao very well. When Gu Dayong lay on the ground holding his legs and crying bitterly, Zhu Houzhao's originally angry face turned hesitant.
If we really want to say it, Zhu Houzhao can definitely be regarded as a rare emperor, but he is not a qualified emperor.
Zhu Houzhao's magnanimous and affectionate temperament destined him to be deceived by others. As an emperor, if he did not have some decisiveness in killing, he would naturally not be considered a qualified emperor.
If he wanted to deal with Gu Dayong, Chu Yi would be able to get rid of Gu Dayong without any extra effort at all. However, Chu Yi turned a blind eye to Gu Dayong's repeated provocations and just wanted to kill Gu Dayong.
Leave it to Zhu Houzhao to deal with it.
Only Zhu Houzhao could deal with Gu Dayong impartially and selflessly, then he could be regarded as a qualified emperor.
Cao Shaoqin, Qian Ning, and Yu Huatian who had been standing aside looked at Gu Dayong who was lying on the ground crying and crying. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid not many people would dare to believe that he was so humble and embarrassed.
It turned out to be the General Manager Gu Dayong, who had gained power not long ago and almost no one dared to offend him.
Seeing that the emperor was quite moved by Gu Dayong's old love, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the imperial study, followed by the voice of a chamberlain: "Eight hundred miles, urgent military report, eight hundred miles.
Expedited military report..."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly raised his head and looked at the eunuch.
Stepping forward, Gu Dayong reported the result of the emergency as if to please, and then respectfully presented it to the emperor and flattered him: "Your Majesty, please take a look..."
Zhu Houzhao took the military report, checked the seal, and then opened the paint. Looking at the urgent military report, Zhu Houzhao's expression became more and more ugly and gloomy. Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao suddenly raised his leg and fiercely
He kicked Gu Dayong who was standing in front of him, and at the same time said angrily: "Gu Dayong, what a good thing you did!"
