split

Two teams of maidservants in palace costumes holding lamps are in front, and Kong Wuli warriors are at the side with knives, surrounded by a group of Luanyu with golden jade feathers and nine-fold canopy.Chongxi Street, which was three feet wide at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was completely blocked by the imperial guard of honor.Gu Ji frowned when he saw this, it was not the first time he had come back to the prime minister's mansion, and it was not a private visit in casual clothes, with such a big battle today, who would show it to him?

After the luanyu stopped, the eunuch's roll call came to an end, and the car and entourage respectfully kowtowed, and the crowd shouted long live.

Qi Fu saluted the general with one knee, his face was solemn, he clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "The last general returns to Beijing today. He misses his old friends. He came here to pay a visit to the Prime Minister first. I hope His Majesty will forgive you."

"General Qi has guarded southern Xinjiang for my great glory for many years. His military achievements are brilliant and his reputation is illustrious. You and Gu Qing don't live long. It's human nature to miss more. How can I blame you for no reason?" Emperor Huanjing was dressed in a dark gold dragon robe, After getting off Luanyu, he walked slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

"Back when I sent you out of the city, there was an emergency in southern Xinjiang. In less than eight years, the general opened up the territory and settled the country. Qi Fu, I really saw the right person."

"Fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his fate." Qi Fu wanted to kneel again, but was lifted up by the emperor.

"The general is returning to Beijing this time, and I have allowed Concubine Yi to visit her relatives, so that Mr. Qi can have a family reunion year."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Emperor Huanjing didn't allow himself to be flattened for a long time, and all the people in Lala Zaza knelt down and held their breath.Others are better off, but His Majesty the Princess is the one who is domineering every day in the Prime Minister's mansion, and can't bear the slightest grievance. He kneels down and interrupts directly: "Brother Emperor, the autumn night is cold, why don't you go into the mansion to talk?"

One monarch and one general occupy the gate of the Prime Minister's mansion and narrate for a long time, obviously doing it for the world to see.The Princess's words were daring but not winking. Prime Minister Gu watched his heart, prostrated himself on the ground and listened.

It's not just the prime minister who listens but doesn't hear.

"I heard that the old general got angry with your fourth brother recently because of the ink corruption case in Lizhou, and drove your fourth brother out of the Qi mansion. Aiqing will go back this time, and you have to persuade your father. He is an old master. That idea of ​​gold and silver is soft and hurts the body, so it's not worth it."

"Zunzhi, it's not too early, and I will retire first." Since the father was mentioned twice, it must be that Emperor Huanjing didn't want to keep him.Qi Fu understood, bowed again, turned around and left.

After Qi Fu walked out of the rear of the guard of honor, Emperor Huanjing Shi Shi ran flattened his body.

When Gu Ji got up, he saw the dark gold dragon robe entering the prime minister's mansion by himself, heading towards Gu Ji's study - Linjingzhai.

The emperor was so silent, he must be angry, and Gu Ji followed behind, speechless all the way.When they reached the entrance of the study room, Gu Ji suddenly turned around and ordered: "Everyone back down."

Eunuch Qi hurriedly dragged the princess to stop at the entrance of the study, and the guards guarded outside in an orderly manner, no one dared to take half a step forward.

Seeing that everyone had withdrawn from the yard, Gu Ji just closed the door and entered. Then he knelt down and saluted again without raising his head. There was a muffled knock on his knees, his body crawled, and his forehead touched the bottom: "I am guilty."

"Oh? What's the crime?" Emperor Huanjing picked up the uncollected books on the case, flipping through them absent-mindedly.

"Secretly meeting with military personnel, knowing what is known but not reporting."

Although Qi Fu only had the title of lieutenant general, he held the old general's wrong golden tiger talisman. With a wave of his hand, he was a million lions, so he could be called the overlord of southern border.Tonight's private meeting, Gu Ji really did not think about it. At this time, the emperor caught him as a pigtail, so he could only plead guilty and beg for mercy first. Presumably, Emperor Huanjing would not blame him for this.

The only sound left in Linjingzhai was the sound of pages being turned, and Gu Ji respectfully and prostrated himself at the bottom, waiting patiently.

The autumn wind blew the window edge and creaked for a moment, and the room was as cool as water.

It took another half a stick of incense before I heard the first person say: "Eunuch Qi and Eunuch Fu are around me, one palm away and one within the jurisdiction. It is my concubine, who has to be courteous when she sees them. You are so lucky, throw them away." If you leave with a face, you are not afraid that they will put on a little shoe for you and arrange some secrets in the palace?"

Gu Ji thought to himself that this test has been passed, he felt relieved, and immediately replied: "The drama book that Concubine Shu wants, Your Majesty has ordered to continue it at your leisure, so it must not be a serious matter."

"It's not an important matter, so you won't come?"

"...I know I was wrong."

"Qi Fu is quick-witted, and his father is an old tree with twisted roots. I don't want to be on guard against him, but I have to be on guard against you."

Gu Ji's back hurt after kneeling for a long time. Hearing what his superiors said, he had no choice but to listen to the training respectfully and did not dare to act rashly.

"Get up." There was a little irritability in that calm voice.

Gu Ji thanked him and stood up, still standing with his head bowed.

"A few days ago, the Ministry of Punishment handed over the secret report. The eight southern Xinjiang tribes have surrendered to me, Dayao, but here I can't even see a seal of evidence. Tell me, what do you mean?"

The sentence "The eight tribes of southern Xinjiang have surrendered to me, Dayao" is like a thunderbolt!

When Gu Ji first heard this, he looked up in shock, his long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and he looked at Shanghuan Jingdi with a deep eagle-like gaze.Gu Ji's thoughts turned, and he suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold and sweating.After looking at each other for a while, I realized that this was an arrogance, and I quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I am guilty!"

If Qi Fu took back Southern Xinjiang privately, then the charge of treason has already been confirmed. Thinking about the private meeting tonight, it really is a very reckless act.After all, it is a close friend eight years ago, and people's hearts will always change.

Emperor Huanjing looked at the man kneeling again, not too annoyed, he threw the book with his hands, and scolded: "Get up!"

"The guilty minister dare not."

"Why don't you dare! You won't return the summons! Private book and playbook! Now you are still plotting against the Qi family kid, and you are colluding to help the tyrant! How courageous!"

Gu Ji was severely reprimanded, and he was filled with grievances, only then did he know that the feeling of having a pimple in his throat was really uncomfortable.This time, he bowed his body and prostrated himself on the ground, not knowing whether he should open his mouth to apologize.

If you plead guilty, you will be convicted of the crime. The emperor has ulterior motives, and life and death can't be taken for a second. How can he still be the third prince when he was a child?Gu Ji broke into a layer of cold sweat, before he replied in a low voice: "Criminal ministers don't distinguish between virtuous and sycophants, and disturb the hearing of saints, but it is up to Your Majesty to order."

Emperor Huanjing sighed, walked down the desk, his tone softened, and said: "Get up."

A pair of brocade boots with dense gold threads appeared in front of my eyes, embroidered with vivid sea of ​​dragons and clouds.Gu Ji didn't know whether he was angry or angry, he got up from the ground, but still stood with his head bowed, his obedient demeanor was no different from that of Eunuch Qi.

"Yunji."

"The minister is here."

Emperor Huanjing often called Gu Ji "Aiqing", or "Gu Xiang" when he was in court, and "Yunji" when he was talking privately.Every time he called him like this, Gu Ji would always have a feeling of emotion, as if there was such an indelible affection hidden in the abyss-black eyes of the emperor.

But in a blink of an eye, the scattered shadows disappeared.

Emperor Huanjing looked at the person in front of him, and all his anger and anger just now turned into a question squeezed between his teeth: "You, have you...?"

The question stopped abruptly, and Gu Ji raised his eyes in doubt. Emperor Huanjing's burning eyes showed questioning, consideration, unbelievable disappointment, and a trace of incomprehensible sadness?

Gu Ji immediately understood, do you have secrets about forming a party?Is there any conspiracy?The emperor didn't answer the whole question, but just remembered the last bit of kindness from the old relationship.

Gu Yunji has worked so hard for nine years to accept the call of the emperor, but it is ridiculous to be sentimental, but now he has this ruthless question of panic and bewilderment!

Gu Ji suddenly thought of a bowl of snow fungus soup brought by his nurse when he was young. In the winter day, there was white smoke. Through the heart.

There was a shadow under the long eyelash fan, Gu Ji settled his thoughts, bowed calmly and said: "Mr., no."

Emperor Huanjing, who was always serious and unsmiling, actually let out two laughs when he saw his calm duet, hovering in the study room with only two people, feeling a little indescribably lonely.

"I asked you something, and you deny it?" Although Emperor Huanjing's laughter disappeared, the smile was still there, his eyes were soft, and the corners of his mouth had a rare and beautiful curve.

Gu Ji was stunned, and said solemnly: "I dare not judge rashly, I just answered His Majesty's preface, if General Qi and the Nanmanzi are in collusion, I will capture alive...Qi Fu."

As soon as he knelt together, the ribbon of the hair crown was wrapped around the top of his head, Emperor Huanjing raised his hand to help him untie it, this gesture was very intimate, Gu Ji stiffened, and his answers became less agile.

The finger of Emperor Huanjing who was pulling down the ribbon lightly brushed Siren's ear, like a goose feather swipe.In an instant, the pinnae of the ears turned tenderly red, Emperor Huanjing withdrew his hand, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "The prime minister has always done things properly, how could I doubt you."

Seeing Gu Ji's stiffness as if he had been hit by acupoints, Emperor Huanjing put away his teasing thoughts, looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "But Yunji, you always think of your own affairs as bad, it's not good."

The prime minister is in the government and the public, and his heart is concerned with the world. He has no "own affairs" at all on weekdays.The only thing that matters is the unspoken affection.It's just that the third prince who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor back then, bestowed a marriage with a broken pendant blocked many people's mouths, and the prime minister's reputation was saved, but Gu Ji's thoughts sank deep into the lotus flower, who can get through the maze?

Emperor Huanjing didn't say much anymore, he explained a few words about monitoring the Qi clan, asked some business matters, and hurriedly drove back to the palace.

Gu Ji walked out of the prime minister's mansion, and stood at the gate of the mansion watching Luanyu surrounded by palace lanterns drift away until he disappeared.

As the autumn wind passed by, the hem of his robe was rolled up, and Gu Ji raised his eyes to look at the moonlight, his slender eyelashes lifted slightly, and the glazed ink-colored water droplets greeted the beautiful autumn moon in the sky, reflecting a touch of bright moonlight.

Nine years, the bloodshot jade pendant has been cracked for nine years, and has never returned to the world.

The half of the jade fragments that fell into Qixuan Lake probably entered the belly of the fish already.
