I don't want to play anymore

Those who served the emperor found that the relationship between the emperor and Mr. Gu has eased since he came back from riding a horse.

It can even be said that the reconciliation is as good as ever.

Just as no one knew why Mr. Gu got angry with the emperor after riding a horse once, no one knew how to ride a horse again and it would be fine.

In short, the emperor is in a good mood, and everyone in the palace is also happy.

The emperor and Mr. Gu lived a peaceful life again, "the zither and the zither are playing in harmony", they just need to wait quietly by the side.

As for why Gu Jingyuan suddenly proposed to learn riding and archery, Long Yanzhao asked him twice later, Gu Jingyuan only said it was a whim and there was no other reason.

It was some time after returning to the palace that Long Yanzhao heard by chance that someone was gossiping behind his back, saying that Mr. Gu didn't know how to ride a horse because he didn't want to imitate the white moonlight to make the emperor happy...

At first, he heard these words by accident from the mouth of the palace servants, Long Yanzhao hated people who gossip, he immediately became furious and ordered a thorough investigation, he would definitely dig out the person who said such words.

It's a pity that tracing the source did not find the source. It is really difficult to find out how crowded the palace is.

Long Yanzhao could only punish those who spread the word, because there were quite a lot of talkative people, and the matter was quite big, even if Mr. Gu came out to persuade him personally, it would not help.

The name of a tyrant is faintly about to fall on his head again.

But Long Yanzhao is determined, so he doesn't care so much.

In Gu Jingyuan's room, Yang Lin kowtowed sunflower seeds while drinking tea.

When his mouth is free, he can still gossip and gossip: "I heard that the emperor has frightened the people in the palace these two days. Everyone is in danger. They are afraid that they will say something bad. Woolen cloth."

Putting his hand on the edge of the teacup, Gu Jingyuan gently held it to keep warm, and calmly said: "Although the emperor is a prince, he has been lonely and homeless since he was a child. People who have experienced like him tend to have a hot temper and are more jealous than others. Some."

"I think it's pretty good." Yang Lin said, "It's all right now. From now on, no one will dare to gossip about you, Master Gu... Your Majesty has done a pretty good job on this point."

Gu Jingyuan smiled but said nothing.

The smile was very weak, and he never took this kind of thing to heart.

Even if he was thinking about it, all he could think about was: the emperor has grown up, it is good to be able to frighten the palace people.

But not too cruel.

Since ancient times, among the dynasties ruled by tyrants, which one belongs to the country and the people...

"Vision?"

Beside Gu Jingyuan, Yang Lin's voice suddenly sounded.

He quickly looked back and heard Yang Ershao complaining: "Why did you slip away? Sigh, I must be too unattractive."

"There's no charm." Gu Jingyuan smiled: "The second young master is so charming that it's a bit dazzling, I dare not look at it."

"...Okay, let's be serious." The second young master was amused, and then twitched a little, "Well, I'm just curious...the emperor treats you like this...actually he likes you, right?"

"No." Gu Jingyuan shook his head decisively.

So decisive that Second Young Master Yang choked.

There is no need to repel insects in winter, Gu Jingyuan's room has a clean and refreshing atmosphere, and there is no incense.

The smell of the scented jade from before was no longer there, apparently he had put it away and hadn't used it.

Yang Lin couldn't help but asked again: "Then...you treat the emperor...the emperor is so graceful, and you still protect you like that...so you really don't have any feelings for the emperor?"

"No." Gu Jingyuan still shook his head.

He subconsciously glanced at Yang Lin's jade finger, and all his emotions were deeply buried.

If there is any intersection between him and Long Yanzhao, it is only for Jiangshan Sheji.

If there is friendship, it will only be a monarch and a minister.

The next day, Gu Jingyuan entered the palace as usual to accompany him. Apart from accompanying the emperor as usual, he also brought a matter to Long Yanzhao.

"Second Young Master Yang came to me yesterday and told me that something happened in a friend's house. After hearing this, I didn't know what to do, so I thought about bringing this matter to His Majesty today, and asked His Majesty to give me some advice." .”

"Oh? There are still things in this world that Ah Yuan has no idea about?" Long Yanzhao became interested when he heard the words, he put down the ink brush in his hand, and waved to Gu Jingyuan, "Come here."

Gu Jingyuan sat beside him obediently, and told about the business matter that Yang Lin went to find him yesterday.

But it turned out to be a classmate of Yang Lin's good friend. His family had a few acres of fertile land near Yun County in the suburbs of Beijing, which had been forcibly occupied recently.

"Occupy the fertile land?" Long Yanzhao frowned after hearing this: "Inside and outside the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor, how dare someone do such a presumptuous thing?"

Gu Jingyuan said: "It is said that someone wanted to buy it at a low price and use that piece of land to build a summer resort. Because the sufferer refused to sell it, that person and the government amended the documents and forcibly designated the land as his own."

That classmate of Yang Lin was one of his childhood friends. The two of them went to the same private school. His grandfather was an official in the court, but his family fell into ruin when he was in his father's generation. A few acres of fertile land make a living.

And he himself is only from a Juren background, there are only a handful of high-ranking officials in the capital, so he is naturally worthless as a Juren.The people who occupied his family's land just took a fancy to his lack of background and support, so they were so blatant.

The Juren had no other way to find Yang Lin.

The second son had no choice but to be close to Gu Jingyuan all along, closer than his own father, so he was the first to find Gu Jingyuan.

Long Yanzhao was furious when he heard about this at the beginning, but when Gu Jingyuan said this, he had changed to be suspicious, looked at the person in his arms, and asked: "It's something that even the son of You Cheng can't handle." ? Who is the person who invaded the land behind the scenes?"

What he said is not that the son of the prime minister has any privileges.

It's just that even the prime minister's son knows about this matter, which means that this matter may become a big deal at any time and stab the capital.

But the other party is still confident...

"But this time, Second Young Master really has no choice." Gu Jingyuan said, "Your Majesty may not have heard of the invader, but you must know his uncle."

"Who is it?"

"Commander of the imperial guards, Xu Zhi."

"Xu Zhi?" Long Yanzhao suddenly understood why Yang Lin couldn't come forward in this matter.

The imperial guards are mainly responsible for all the security defenses inside the capital, including inside and outside the palace, but Xu Zhi, who is the commander of the imperial guards, is not Long Yanzhao's, but the person behind him is the regent.

Xu Zhi is Gu Yuanjin's subordinate.His nephew is even more in cahoots with Gu Shenming, because he is backed by Gu Shenming, and he is also a well-known playboy in Beijing.

Yang Lin was a fledgling in front of the two of them, and the mastermind behind this incident was directed at the Regent, so he was not something that a brat like the Second Young Master could provoke.

Gu Jingyuan said: "For the safety of the second young master, I told him not to get involved or make a statement."

"Then what does Ah Yuan think about this matter?" Long Yanzhao asked in a deep voice with a terribly serious expression.

This is the expression of the emperor faintly falling into anger.

Gu Jingyuan replied frankly: "I think this is Your Majesty's chance."

"Oh?" Long Yanzhao didn't expect him to say that. He had always believed in Gu Jingyuan, knowing that the young man would not joke around at this moment, so he calmed down a little, and smiled at him: "Ah Yuan, tell me."

"The reason why the regent has been able to control the government and fight against His Majesty is because he firmly controls the patrols inside and outside the capital. Now Xu Zhi allows his nephew to occupy other people's land and openly flouts the laws of the country... I think that this The position of patrol commander in the city can be replaced."

"it is good!"

Hearing these words, the young emperor suddenly clapped his hands and called out.

Long Yanzhao's brows were full of vigor, and his eyes were full of praise when he looked at Gu Jingyuan, and he couldn't help saying happily, "Ah Yuan really knows my heart."

All the defenses inside and outside the capital are in charge of the Prince Regent's faction, which is equivalent to Gu Yuanjin choking Long Yanzhao's neck with one hand.

Even though several big camps are only loyal to the emperor, they are scattered and stationed in various places, beyond the reach of the whip.

So to put it bluntly, if one day Gu Yuanjin really wants to usurp the throne and rebel regardless of the eternal infamy, the emperor will not have the slightest power to fight back.

Even his own wealth and life are not counted, what Long Yanzhao, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, did is not ordinary aggrieved.

But today, just as Gu Jingyuan said, the opportunity has come.

After Long Yanzhao stroked his palm excitedly, he swung his backhand and pressed the opponent into his arms.

While pressing down, he fell down until he completely pressed the young man on the seat cushion.

Face to face, the imposing young emperor showed a mischievous smile: "Okay, Ah Yuan said at first that he encountered something that he didn't know what to do, and asked me to give you an idea, but it turned out that he already had an idea , came here to tease me. Gu Jingyuan, you are getting more and more skinny."

Gu Jingyuan was like a fish on a chopping board, after being pushed down suddenly, he was still a little dazed.

But after hearing the reason, he smiled shyly, and said quite innocently: "I really don't know what to do."

The familiar ambergris filled his breath, and Gu Jingyuan gradually relaxed, explaining: "The other party stole the title deed of the sufferer at night, and colluded with the local government to tamper with the land registration documents. The sufferer has no evidence to prove it To prove that the land is my own... This kind of thing, I have never dealt with it."

"That's easy," Long Yanzhao said, "Since it's a falsified document, there must be some clues left, just find an impartial person to investigate."

"Who should I go to?" Gu Jingyuan had already softened his body, and the hands of the Ninth Five-Year Lord had become irregular. He could only restrain his mind and say: "This person must not be afraid of the Xu family and the forces behind it, and he must There is a way to hit the target with one blow, and let General Xu subdue the law in one fell swoop...Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"

After speaking, Gu Jingyuan couldn't help closing his eyes, and his voice began to tremble.

"Ah Yuan's worry is not unreasonable. It's not convenient for you to come forward, and a child like Yang Lin can't deal with someone like Gu Shenming. There are indeed not many people around me who can use him."

After thinking about it, Long Yanzhao suddenly smirked: "But this matter can still be entrusted to me, I really have someone to choose."

"Who is it?" Gu Jingyuan asked softly.

"Young Master of the Guangping Palace, Zhuo Yangqing." As if thinking of something interesting, the expression on the day revealed some gangster anger.

The bright black eyes were as bright as stars, and Long Yanzhao smirked: "On the one hand, there are just some nameless dandies who wantonly commit crimes relying on their elders. No matter how naughty Gu Shenming and others are, they dare not openly confront the little lord appointed by the imperial court." ?”

What's more, the guards of other people are just simple guards, while the guards of Zhuo Mansion are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield.

If you want to play tricks, the young master is the well-deserved No. [-] dude in the capital.

"Well."

Gu Jingyuan responded, deeply feeling that in the way of employing people, Emperor Yuwen is indeed very talented and has made rapid progress.

Young Lord Hou is indeed the best candidate.

But then, he heard the emperor say again: "It's just that my brother is lazy and unruly, and he is not suitable for long-term involvement in power schemes. If there is no one who can use him, I would not send him out. It's a pity..."

Speaking of later, Long Yanzhao had changed from his former high-spiritedness, and even sighed directly.

"It's a pity that Yang Jin is gone."

If Dayi Dynasty's most heroic major general and one of his most powerful generals were still there, why would the current situation in the court be like this?

When Long Yanzhao thought of this, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart.

It wasn't until he felt that Gu Jingyuan's relaxed body was gradually becoming stiff, that Long Yanzhao came back to his senses and accepted the lament just now.

The Ninth Five-Year Lord chuckled with a little embarrassment: "Look at me, talking about it is far away. Yang Jin is Yang Lin's eldest brother. Ah Yuan should have never seen him before. When you entered Beijing, he had already..."

The redness in the corners of his eyes faded a little, and Gu Jingyuan's ears started to ring again.

He suddenly couldn't hear what the emperor said later.

The originally closed eyes suddenly opened wide, he could only stubbornly force himself to blink once and for all, so as not to be noticed by others.
