Chapter 1286

In the morning of the next day, all the civil and military officials were even a little surprised to see the emperor on the dragon throne.

At first, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Jiuci looked at his father meaningfully, and finally no longer had to bear the infamy of monopolizing government affairs.

But not long after the morning meeting, Gu Jiuci noticed something was wrong.

My father asked Your Majesty to update the salary rules for nobles and distribute them according to population to reduce waste.

This move hurts the interests of the nobles, but it is indeed what His Majesty has always wanted to do.

Originally, His Majesty should have strongly supported Dad, but the third prince suddenly said something.

"Why, Prime Minister Gu, do you even want to get involved in our royal affairs?"

Emperor Chu's face turned very ugly on the spot, and Gu Jiuci's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something had changed.

In the following months, strange little frictions often occurred in the court, and Gu Jiuci could keenly feel that the emperor's heart was slowly growing apart from his father.

Things got worse and worse until Gu Jiuci was ordered to go to the north to observe the drought situation and provide relief to the victims.Half a month later, she was able to return to Chang'an. As soon as she arrived at the city gate, she saw the old housekeeper standing at the city gate to greet her, with a sad face.

Gu Jiuci's heart tightened, and he immediately jumped out of the carriage and strode to the old housekeeper.

"Why are you the only one here? Did something happen?"

"Young Master, something big has happened to our family! Master... He offended His Majesty and asked to resign due to illness. Your Majesty actually got it right. Now Master is no longer the first-class prime minister of the government!"

The old housekeeper became more and more sad as he talked. Gu Jiuci's face immediately turned pale and his eyes widened.

"My father and Your Majesty have been kings and ministers for many years. Doesn't Your Majesty know that what my father has done for him over the past 20 years..."

Before Gu Jiuci finished speaking, she suddenly scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and sure enough, there were sneaky people staring at her from the corners on the left and right.I knew it was those people's spies without even thinking about it.

I can't wait to find out what's wrong with her so that I can catch all the Gu family in one go!

She won't give these people a chance!

Gu Jiuci composed himself, and his tone when he spoke again was extremely calm.

"It must be that my father made a big mistake, so your majesty punished him severely. You go back and report to your father first, and I have to go to the palace to report to your majesty before I can return home."

These few words she said were flawless and she was all about defending Emperor Chu. Even if others wanted to find fault with her, it would not be that easy.

"Yes, yes, the master also sent a young man to remind the young master that he must pay attention to his words and deeds."

"understood!"

Gu Jiuci glanced at the little people in the corner coldly, turned around and boarded the carriage.

Sure enough, after entering the palace, Emperor Chu's attitude was much colder than before. Gu Jiuci had been prepared for it, and his tone was so respectful that he couldn't find anything wrong. After listening to her report, Emperor Chu didn't even raise his head and waved. He waved her away.

"I know, let's go down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After walking out of the palace gate, Gu Jiuci looked up at the sky. It was actually a haze. She felt desolate in her heart. Dusk was approaching. She quickly ordered the carriage to go back home. She didn't know what kind of blow her father had suffered!

"Father! Are you all right?"

As soon as he got home, Gu Jiuci rushed into his father's study and found his father splashing ink on rice paper. Everyone in the world knew that Gu Xiang was a serious man and cautious in his life, but his best calligraphy was freehand cursive, unrestrained and aloof.

Gu Jiuci lowered his head and saw that this time his father wrote the word "endure".

"Dad, what happened? Your Majesty did this to you?"

"Be careful!"

As soon as Gu Jiuci finished speaking, his father glared at him, and then he sighed quietly.
