Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

"Why didn't you report it at that time?" Gu Moqian sat in front of the table, and Zhi Ruo thought about it, and was angry like a torrential rain.

Zhi Ruo knelt in front of her knees, even trembling slightly, but forcibly calmed down and said: "At that time... the white staff officer of Prince Ming's Mansion told this servant that he had sent someone to report back to His Majesty. This servant was anxious, so..."

"Excuses." Gu Moqian said coldly.Zhiruo's lips turned white in fright.

"The servant knows his mistake and is punished voluntarily."

"What's wrong with him?"

Zhi Ruo shook her head, and said: "I have been paying attention for a long time, and I didn't see any abnormalities in the adults. I laughed like I used to."

"Are you sure?" Gu Moqian's voice became even colder.

"Yes." Zhi Ruo prostrated herself on the ground, and said in a more emphatic tone, "Your Excellency is only a little confused at the beginning after waking up, and then his expression remains the same."

Ming Wu on the side also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, recently you ordered us to investigate Xin Mufei. This person is really tricky and eccentric, moody. It is not impossible to sneak into Ming Wang's mansion for revenge."

Ming Shishi on the side also nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Prince Ming's mansion did not report the letter is probably because he was afraid that His Majesty would be punished. Although King Ming has a cold temper, he is not a person who is daring to do things. It is the staff in charge. , for the sake of Prince Ming's Mansion, he will do such a thing."

Gu Moqian also nodded, shifted his eyes to Dao Zhiruo again, and asked coldly: "Do you know that he talked to King Ming?"

Zhi Ruo shook her head, and said hastily: "I didn't hear the conversation between the two of you, but later, when you drank too much, you leaked something out. It was probably to thank King Ming for saving His Majesty, and this matter should be regarded as They cancel each other out... and so on." After finishing speaking, Zhi Ruo secretly glanced at Gu Moqian's expression.

Sure enough, the frost on Gu Moqian's face faded away, and there was even a little gratified smile on his face.

Zhi Ruo let out a long breath in her heart, her life was saved now.

"Go down and receive the punishment."

"Yes, the servant will leave." Zhi Ruo kowtowed, got up slowly, and stepped back out of the room.

"Go and check the situation that day."

Ming Shiyi clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Yes."

"Recently, the Prime Minister's Mansion has stepped up its defenses, and by the way, issued a killing order for the Yanyu Building."

"Yes." Ming Wu clasped his fists and bowed.

The two left the room together, and Gu Moqian got up and walked towards Gong Jiuqing's residence.

At this moment, Gong Jiuqing was already drunk. According to Zhiruo, what Gong Jiuqing drank was fruit wine, which was not strong.But everyone knew that Gong Jiuqing didn't drink much, so no one doubted that he drank like this.

Looking at Gong Jiuqing who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Gu Moqian sat on the edge of the bed and brushed the long hair off his face with his hand.Then looking at this delicate face, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Once upon a time, this face was a substitute, and this person was a very useful weapon.

But now, every frown and smile on this face touched his heart.Every move of this person made him worry about it.

With the mountains and rivers, there are also beauties.

In this life, having him is enough...

……

The prime minister was seriously ill, and after a month of intermittent care, he finally started to go to court properly.

Although it is young and immature, the reforms and suggestions it puts forward are all sound.It is in stark contrast to these old-fashioned and old-fashioned people in the court.He even won the support of some young officials who had just entered the court.

Originally, although Nanhui's court had many party members.There used to be the Conservative Party, the Princeling Party, and the Prime Minister's Party.At first it ceased to exist, but a self-centered phenomenon emerged.

Many ministers felt that when the emperor was newly enthroned, they were the founding heroes, and no matter how bad they were, they were also members of the two dynasties, and their status was naturally indescribable.It directly caused these people to be self-sufficient, and the grass and trees rotted together.

But Gu Moqian knew early on that the atmosphere in the court was like this, so he cut off the officials early in the morning, and promoted young generals to the court as officials.

Between the two is the collision of the new and the old, and sparks often occur in the court.There are even some veterans who are secretly playing tricks.

And Gu Moqian had no time to be distracted by other things because of Gong Jiuqing's affairs, which made the faction of old ministers gradually suppress the faction of young people.

Now Gong Jiuqing came back and stood at the front of the court hall.He was younger than everyone present, but he was the head of all the officials, and he was favored by the emperor.Even the emperor acted according to his face, let alone these civil and military officials.

What's more valuable is that Gong Jiuqing is not only young, but even educated and talented.It often makes some stubborn old-fashioned conservatives speechless, and some even beat their feet and chests.

Everyone has discovered that Gong Jiuqing recently...

Very aggressive.

When the first emperor was in power, the prime minister was a lazy person who was often late.

……

"Let's retreat." Gu Moqian raised his hand and said.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Everyone knelt down, but Gong Jiuqing didn't.Anyway, he just didn't want to kneel, for no reason.Gu Moqian wouldn't blame him either, on the contrary, such a willful little move was in line with his wishes.

All the officials knelt down, so naturally they would not find anyone who did not kneel.

"The prime minister stays."

……

Palace, Royal Garden.

"Your Majesty, ministers are foreign ministers, and foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem." Gong Jiuqing said as if jealous.

Gu Moqian wandered side by side in the imperial garden, and said with a smile, "In my heart, Ai Qing is my servant."

Gong Jiuqing rolled her eyes at Gu Moqian, turned her head and walked towards a strange flower that was in full bloom.

When he turned his head, his eyes were cold.

It was as if there were two people living in his heart, one so innocent and the other cold and ruthless.When facing Gu Moqian, he was the naive him, but when he turned around, he was the ruthless him.

"What kind of flower is this?" Gong Jiuqing asked, pointing to this bright red flower in full bloom.

"This? I have no way of knowing."

Gong Jiuqing obviously looked at him in disbelief.

Gu Mo smiled and said: "The flowers in this garden are all planted by the gardener. Such gorgeous flowers are not my favorite."

"If you don't like it, return it?"

"Between a hundred flowers, there is always competition for splendor. What's more, I'm already busy enough with the affairs of the court and China, so I don't have time to take care of the flowers and plants."

Gong Jiuqing nodded knowingly, and said: "Oh...Your Majesty doesn't like these flowers and plants, but he has no energy to care whether others plant them or not. It seems that His Majesty has no intention of getting married, but there are still people who keep playing."

Gu Mo smiled shallowly, and asked why the little man at the corner of his mouth was so aggressive.I didn't expect the reason to be in this place.

"When it comes to this matter, I still want to say something about the Prime Minister to dismiss those memorials that are a headache to watch one by one for me."

"I did this purely because I felt that those courtiers were just trying to consolidate their status. If their daughters are really allowed to enter the palace, once their status is consolidated, it may be difficult to shake."

"Really?"

"How about otherwise?"

Both of them looked into each other's eyes as if they wanted to see who would not be able to collapse in the next second, and compromised.

In the end, it turned out that Gu Moqian compromised first, and then said: "I thought... the Prime Minister was reluctant to part with my big marriage."

Gong Jiuqing's heart shrank suddenly, but she still said with a disgusted expression on her face: "Your Majesty thinks too much. I'm afraid Your Majesty would like to marry the queen as soon as possible, and extend the descendants."

"If possible, I just want to join hands with Qing for the rest of my life." Gu Moqian held Gong Jiuqing's hand and looked at him affectionately.

This look, this movement, is very similar to the pavilion in the ruins of that day.

He and Li Maoqiu didn't want to disappoint Fang Yanxu, so they thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

It's really a good way to get the best of both worlds...

Unfortunately, some people can only use it once.If he was still used the second time, how stupid would this person be?

Gong Jiuqing's heart was dripping with blood, but her expression turned into anger from embarrassment: "You are an emperor, you are so dishonest."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Gu Moqian away and walked away.Gu Mo stood there with a smirk, but couldn't see Gong Jiuqing's sad and determined expression after turning his head.
