In fact, in the end, Gu Linjiang's words, or let Gusu Liang began to care, listened to, he said today after those words, Gusu Liang heart will inevitably feel a little bit sorry for the Gu Qiang, after all, now no one has no way to know, if they did not intervene in the matter in the middle of the day, Bai Zhi will not die, Dongliang will not attack the border?

Perhaps if he hadn't deliberately approached Court Lady Gu after she married Shen Qianshan, none of the things that followed, would have happened.

It was because of this that he felt a little depressed inside, sitting outside in the middle of the night drinking.

People will always hope for the unknown, but of course it could also be fear, Gusu Liang did not know how much wine he drank outside, which always felt like he could not get drunk at all, until the day breaks, he wobbled and packed up the jugs of wine that were placed on the edge of the millstone, and went back to his own room.

Court lady Gu did not sleep well in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, she slept with her head covered, and slept until three o'clock in the morning, when she finished washing up and pushed open the door of her room, but she was hit by a panicked chasing cloud.

Gu Qiang, who was still sleepy, was instantly knocked awake by him, "What's wrong? What's the matter with the panic?"

"Mr. Gu was declared to go to the palace early in the morning, I don't know what Shen Zhongbai is trying to do, Qi Bai just came over and said that he hasn't even come back until now."

Upon hearing that her brother was in trouble, Gu Qiangqiang hurriedly tugged up her jacket casually and followed the chasing clouds to the hall, and as expected, Qi Bai was even more anxious and couldn't even sit still.

Gusu Liang was supposed to be sleeping at dawn, and now that he was sleeping, Court Lady Gu didn't even think about disturbing him, and hurriedly tugged at Qi Bai, who was like an ant on a hot pan, "You're walking around in your mind, so first tell me exactly what happened?"

"Just this morning, the palace suddenly came to people, said to declare the grand duke into the palace to go, the grand duke did not say anything, went with them, just this is almost noon, but also a little letter is not, so I came to find you guys to discuss the discussion."

Going to the palace is not a big deal for Court Lady Gu, just that, he is now Shen Shiyin's extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, often going to the palace do not feel so strange, why Shen Zhongbai suddenly declared his brother to enter the palace?

After Shen Zhongbai got off the morning court, he returned to the study, Gu Huai'an was also standing inside the study for a while, and not long after, Gu Linjiang also walked in.

"Heretic Gu Huai'an, see Your Majesty."

"Huai'an doesn't need to be polite, just get up and talk."

Shen Zhongbai called Gu Huai'an into the palace, not for anything else, after all, Shen Qianshan things have been delayed for such a long time, and then procrastinate is not a thing, at least to give a reasonable explanation, so that you can block the mouth of the dynasty, and think about only Gu Huai'an is the most suitable.

Above the entire court, on the surface it was calm as water, but in reality it was simply unknown how many people had been ambitious and wanted him as the throne.

Including Gu Linjiang, all waiting to see their own joke, if they are not careful, in addition to what mistakes, the forces of all parties will take advantage of the opportunity to rebel, he has just ascended to the throne not long ago, the throne has not yet been stabilized, must not make any risky behavior.

Shen Qianshan in the battlefield whereabouts is unknown, Gu Qiang in the palace and died, now the nine wangfu, only Gu Huai'an a person in support, Shen Zhongbai heart more or less will still be Gu Qiang, feel some debt, so Gu Huai'an, they are never ready to drive to the end.

After Gu Linjiang walked into the study, he realized that there had long been a person standing inside this study, and carefully surveyed Gu Huai'an with his residual light; this son of his, too, hadn't been seen for quite a long time, so close that he almost didn't recognize him.

"If I remember correctly, Huai'an left home at a young age, had a prestigious stay in the south of the Yangtze River, and also took the examination for the scholar of the south of the Yangtze River, but then did not enter the dynasty as an official, right?"

The atmosphere of the three people was a bit weird, or, Shen Zhongbai spoke first.

Gu Huai'an was brought into the palace early in the morning, before knowing what purpose Shen Zhongbai had in finding himself, he didn't dare to act rashly, he just made a deep bow to Shen Zhongbai, "Returning to the Emperor, the grass is indeed."

"A talent like Huai'an not being reused is really a great loss to the court, in that case, I do have an idea, I want to let Huai'an join the dynasty as an official, so that it is conducive to the countryside and the earth and grain, and I hope that Huai'an will not be too much of a pushover."

Gu Huai'an where he thought that he this early in the morning was Shen Zhongbai calculated a, it is inevitable that there will be some panic, if he is at this time into the dynasty as an official, perhaps it will disrupt all the plans of everyone, Gu Huai'an this is thinking about what should be used as an excuse to rebuff it, Gu Linjiang opened his mouth first.

"Your Majesty, you can't! Gu Huai'an is the son of an old minister, and the Bei'an Dynasty has long had laws, so if Gu Huai'an accepts the reward, I'm afraid that it will draw comments from the people."

The recent period of time, Shen Zhongbai has begun to one after another replaced his own promoted officials, replaced by their own people, although it is said to be some small action, but still affects their own.

What's more, this son of his left home at a young age, even if he did take sides, he might not be on his own side, instead of cultivating one more helper for his rival, it would be better to cut off this idea of Shen Zhongbai directly from the root.

Gu Linjiang was a smart man and would never dig a hole for himself to jump into.

"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Zhongbai sat down in his own chair, picked up the Zhu Pen on the side, and began to review the zhangbiao presented today, seemingly not caring at all about what Gu Linjiang had said.

Gu Linjiang stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, these two, Huai'an and Qiang'er, are both children of the old minister's original wife, which, I'm afraid, no one in the capital knows about, no one is unaware of, and if it were to be spread out, it would indeed not be a good thing to hear."

"I have heard that Gu Huai'an was expelled from Prime Minister Gu's home when he was in his early teens, so if we go by this math, wouldn't Huai'an have long since disassociated himself from Prime Minister Gu? If he's not considered the Prime Minister's son, then why can't I appoint him as an official?"

Shen Zhongbai on the nine wangfu people, all did not drive to the end, also respected the words of Gu Huai'an, temporarily did not announce the death of Shen Qianshan, they have done this, Gu Huai'an should also have a number in mind, as long as in the dynasty to do a good job, do not stand on the side of the Gu Linjiang, for their own, is not a bad thing.

The two of them, Gu Linjiang and Shen Zhongbai, were circling around, but Gu Huai'an suddenly opened his mouth and raised his head, "Huai'an is naturally grateful to be able to receive Your Majesty's appreciation, and the grasshopper is here to thank Your Majesty first."

Gu Huai'an didn't have any better ideas, now it seems that we can only take one step at a time, when we go back, we will go back to discuss with Qi Bai and the female court officials about what we should do next.

"It seems that Huai'an has no objections, I see that the position of the Minister of Rites seems to be vacant, so let Huai'an take the top first, from the third rank, there shouldn't be anyone saying that I'm too biased, right?"

The position of the Minister of Rites said high not high, said low not low, but enough so that Gu Linjiang is not able to get involved in the Ministry of Rites, for Shen Zhongbai, can be considered a great help.

"I think this matter, Prime Minister Gu should not have any opinions, then I will not keep Prime Minister Gu much longer, I still have some things to explain to Huai'an and the two of them properly."

Said there is something to explain, only is the holy decree and the appointment letter are all handed over to Gu Huai'an, Gu Huai'an hand holding the holy decree, all of a sudden also don't know exactly what he should do.

However, one thing can be sure, all this happened today, all are Shen Zhongbai early planned, otherwise, the decree, the official seal and the appointment certificate, it is impossible to so quickly in the preparation of the end, it seems that Shen Zhongbai is determined, want to pull themselves into the game.

There is only one road out of the palace, and as expected, Gu Huai'an walked on the road and saw Gu Linjiang, who had already stood there, waiting for himself, and there was no one around here, there was more remote, and it looked like, Gu Linjiang was intentionally waiting here.

"Does Prime Minister Gu have something for me?"

"Huai'an, the emperor has appointed you as an official, you also have to work well in your position, you can't let down the emperor's trust in you." Gu Linjiang had sharp eyes and naturally saw the imperial decree in Gu Huai'an's hand.

"Prime Minister Gu is joking, since Huai'an has already taken the imperial decree, it means that he is already prepared to be an official, although Prime Minister Gu is a veteran minister in the dynasty, but these simple things, or do not bother Prime Minister Gu to mention."

Gu Huai'an knew that the moment he took the imperial decree, he had invariably become a tool for the two of them to fight in secret, Shen Zhongbai lacked a scapegoat, so he grabbed himself as a target, it seems that if he didn't get rid of one of the two of them quickly, he wouldn't have a good life.

"Huai'an, father is actually also heartache you, this into the dynasty as an official, what is good? You see, you have not been an official before, but also followed the Nine Princes on the battlefield, got a wound back, nine deaths, now it is not easy to have the opportunity to stay away from the officialdom, how do you still send yourself to the door?"

"So Prime Minister Gu still remembers to this day that I am your own son ah, then where were you when I was bullied by the side lady and forced to leave home? And where were you when the female court officials were tortured in the Gu family?"

Gu Huai'an didn't give Gu Linjiang half a face, turned around and left.

This is only just out of the palace door, saw the anxious waiting at the door of the Gusu Ran, saw Gu Huai'an peacefully out, Gu Qiang's heart of the stone is only counted to put down, "You ... are all right?"
