On the possibility of Wang Ye falling in love with a school tyrant

After the army was drawn out, Jinguan City did not become more peaceful as Gu Xian expected.Originally thought that with the enemy Beiyan going south, and the big autumn exam inside, the government and the opposition should not be in the mood for infighting, at least they shouldn't trouble Prince Rui's mansion at this time.But the fact is just the opposite.

"Master... Do you want to continue listening?" Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and peeked at Gu Xian, cold sweat dripping down his neck.

"Did Gu You tell you to stop?" Gu Xian was sitting behind the sea of ​​tea, fiddling with tea sets, with a gentle expression, showing no anger at all.

"But master...the words spoken by those Lower Riba people are too unpleasant, what's more, they wrote us Wang Qing in the erotic picture book..." Wang Sheng has served Gu Xian for many years, and he knows that the more secretive Gu Xian is, the more angry he will be. bigger.Don't look at Gu Xian drinking tea and drinking tea as if nothing happened, the next moment he might directly bring the soldiers of the palace to kill those who spread rumors and cause trouble.

"Oh? There is such a thing." Gu Xian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Sheng, "Leaving aside other things for now, just tell Gu, why do those people think that Gu's daughter-in-law was not kidnapped by Linghu Chun , but eloped with Linghu Chun and escaped marriage?"

"This..." Wang Sheng went through in his mind what people in the market said about Bo Jun and Fu Donglou's abuse, and said cautiously: "There are rumors that our prince doesn't like Wang Qing, and he always scolds him every time we meet. They even hit people with their hands..."

"Ha ha."

Gu Xian chuckled lightly, and Wang Sheng didn't dare to speak again.

"You keep talking."

"Yes. The relationship between Wang Ye and Wang Qing is one of them. The second is that last time Wang Qing's grain store was smashed and Linghu Chun came to help. Someone said that Wang Qing and Linghu Chun had known each other before, and the two had a mutual affection. , which made Linghu Chun vent his anger on Wang Qing's behalf at the risk of revealing his identity."

"The rumors also said that although Wang Qing was involved in the "Floating World Records" case, the prince had already cleared Wang Qing's grievances in the court, so there was no need for Wang Qing to abscond in fear of crime. At that time, the emperor's personal soldier Jin Wu was guarding the East Mansion. Wei, the princes and aristocrats are the only ones who can give the Jinwu Guard false military orders, and Wang Qing must have used some means to transfer the Jinwu Guard. Only by cooperating with Linghu Chun can he escape from my great Chu."

"Wang Qing has Hu people's blood, and those ignorant people think that it is only logical that Wang Qing and Linghu Chun have selfishness...so the rumors spread more and more evil..."

Gu Xian picked up a bowl of Fangshan dew buds and took a sip, leaned on the table, and said after a while: "It seems that the person who made the rumors is an insider in the court, or why even the Jinwu Guard was passed on a fake military order We all know, and we also know that He'er is working hard to protect Lou'er. Half-truths and half-false lies are the most deceptive, no wonder ordinary people will be fooled by such rumors full of loopholes."

"Master, do you want to ask Ti Qiwei to seal up those workshops that produce story books and albums, lest they tarnish our Wang Qing's reputation?"

The Ti cavalry guards that Wang Sheng mentioned were different from the Ti cavalry guards of the Habayashi Army that Jiang Han brought to escort Zhan Luju that day. They were the personal guards of the palace, and they were the personal soldiers specially given to his younger brother Bai Yi by the former emperor Bai Yan.Ti cavalry guards are all elite soldiers who accompanied Bai Yi on the battlefield. Although the number and regulations are slightly inferior to those of the imperial palace guards Jinwuwei and Qianniuwei, their combat effectiveness is not inferior. The Ti cavalry guards of the Habayashi Army followed suit. built by the army.For the big and small officials in Jinguan City, the emperor's relatives and nobles, Ti Qiwei is more difficult to mess with than Jinwuwei Qianniuwei.

"What do the common people know? They are just repeating what others say. Scaring them will not only not quell the rumors, but will make them feel that the rumors are true." Gu Xian put down his teacup, stood up and walked around the room for a few steps, "Besides, Lou'er How can a few third-rate painters be able to describe their handsome appearance? It has been determined that those painters and writers have committed the crime of slandering the royal family, and the emperor must personally order the crime, so why should we do anything prejudicial."

"Then according to the meaning of the master...?"

"Change clothes for Gu, if you want to go to the palace to face the saint, if you want to sue the imperial court and call Qu Qu for us Wang Qing."

Bai Junhao who was in the palace also heard this rumor.Someone pouring dirty water on Fudong Building is equivalent to pouring dirty water on Prince Rui's Mansion, of course Bai Junhao is happy to see it.But this joy lasted for a while before Bai Junhao couldn't laugh anymore - he was afraid that Gu Xian would ask him to cancel the marriage offer because of this matter.

Although Fu Donglou was not a woman, he wanted to "marry" Bai Junhe after all.If he cuckolded Bo Junhe before he got married, the entire royal family would lose face, not to mention the rumor that Fu Donglou eloped and escaped marriage with Linghu Chun, the general of Zhu Kingdom of the enemy country...

If Gu Xian really came to Bai Junhao to cancel the marriage offer because of this, Bai Junhao really couldn't find a reason to refuse.It doesn't matter if Rui Wangqing is Fu Donglou, but if Gu Xian takes this opportunity to find a son of a prominent family for Bo Junhe, then Bai Junhao's life will be difficult.How can I say that Fu Donglou has Hu people's blood, and it seems that it is safest to have him as Rui Wangqing. Bai Junhao really wants to protect Fu Donglou.

But Fu Donglou's ability is also too great, so many moths have been tossed about in the past six months of giving the marriage, making Ruiwang's mansion even more powerful, and Bai Junhao's life will be just as difficult in the long run.

Bai Junhao was in a difficult situation, Gu Xian came, it can be said that Bai Junhao was caught off guard.

"Uncle Wang is here to pay for the affairs of the East Building." Mingren didn't slander, Bai Junhao didn't want to and had no ability to make circles with Gu Xian, so he simply cut to the chase to see what Gu Xian's attitude was.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is why I came here today." Gu Xian bowed his head slightly to Bai Junhe as a salute, "It seems that His Majesty has already known about this matter, and I don't know His Majesty's attitude towards this matter."

"I... I just heard about it, and I haven't had time to think about it. Why don't Uncle Wang give me an analysis first?"

It's really confusing.Gu Xian secretly laughed in his heart.

Now that the enemy is pressing down on the situation, no matter who comes from this kind of rumor, it is all for the purpose of causing internal chaos in Dachu.As an emperor, you don't quell the rumors as soon as possible to appease the front-line commanding generals, but hesitate to make troubles and add fuel to the flames. Have you grown your brains?In the final analysis, this is a royal family scandal. Is it true that Fu Donglou eloped with someone, and your emperor will follow suit?

"I think it is not difficult to quell this rumor, the most urgent thing is to find out the source of the rumor."

"Oh? Uncle Wang thinks that this rumor is not the nonsense of ordinary people, but someone deliberately concocted it with bad intentions?" Bai Junhao didn't think about it just now, but at this moment Gu Xian reminded him to be vigilant.

"Exactly. Right now He'er is leading the army to go to war. Rumors that slander Prince Rui's mansion can stir up civil strife in our Great Chu court, making people suspect that Fuxiang and Zhun Wangqing are indeed collaborating with the enemy; secondly, the prince is wearing a green hat. How can the frontline troops be stable? It is also a great blow to morale; three times, Fu Donglou is now quite famous among the students, and ruining his reputation is to shake the hearts of my scholars in Dachu. I have the foundation of Chu country." Gu Xian smiled coldly, "Three birds with one stone, the person behind this is really brilliant!"

Bai Junhao's brows became more and more wrinkled by Gu Xian's words.He wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the palace, but the mouse Fu Donglou was now lying on the precious jade bottle of Da Chu Sheji, and he had no choice but to give up.

"Who does Uncle Wang think this rumor was concocted? Could it be Beiyan spies?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Judging from the current situation, once the rumors spread, Bei Yan will indeed benefit a lot." Thinking about Mu Yan's frequent visits to the palace recently, Gu Xian didn't say a word.Firstly, he was not sure whether Mu Yan was really harboring evil intentions to harm Da Chu and not just the palace; secondly, Bai Junhao trusted Mu Yan, and if Mu Yan was mentioned, the awkward emperor might feel that the palace had something wrong with it. Intentional, counterproductive.

"Then I will decree that those who spread rumors and disrespect the royal family will be arrested and punished, and then the Sanju Division and the Ministry of War will continue to strictly investigate Beiyan's spies. What does Uncle Wang think?"

Before Gu Xian could answer, the servant came in and reported, saying that Zhongshu ordered Fu Zekai to see him.

As soon as Bai Junhao heard that Fu Zekai was coming, he glanced at Gu Xian, a feeling of repulsion emerged spontaneously: "What a good in-laws, the palace is in trouble now, and you, Fu Zekai, just ran over."

Gu Xian also frowned, it stands to reason that Fu Zekai shouldn't join in the fun at this time...

"I respectfully invite Sheng'an to see His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing."

"The Zhongshu Ling also came because of the rumors that Fu Donglou and Linghu Chun had eloped." Bai Junhao's face turned a little cold, and his displeasure was palpable.

"Exactly. It seems that I came a step too late. The Holy Majesty and His Highness must have made a decision." Fu Zekai bowed, "I don't know how Your Majesty plans to handle this matter?"

"I'm just talking to Uncle Wang, I want to arrest all those who slander the royal family, and then send people to investigate Beiyan's spies. Why, Zhong Shuling still has a good opinion?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, I think that simply arresting those little people who spread rumors and create filthy things will not solve the problem. Only by doing this, the people will think that the Chu royal family has a guilty conscience, and the rumors will intensify instead. Yu Fangchuan, and public opinion is useless to rely on containment, it should be channeling."

The more Bai Junhao listened to Fu Zekai's words, the more angry he became. He pardoned Fu Zekai at the beginning so that Fu Zekai could fight Gu Xian in the ring, but now Fu Zekai actually speaks for the Rui Palace.If he had known this earlier, he might as well have locked Fu Zekai in the Duke's mansion and continued to punish him.

If Fu Zekai knew about this thought, Fu Zekai would definitely be disappointed.If he hadn't come to talk to Bai Junhao from time to time recently about the overall arrangement of money and grain dispatching on the front line, I'm afraid the emperor would be emptied.

"Let me tell you, Fu Xiang, how can we channel the public opinion?" Bai Junhao glanced at Gu Xian who had been standing silently since Fu Zekai came in, and his heart grew colder: How can you pretend to be noble in this situation!

"I thought that it was not easy for His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing to raise the current King An Guorui after the early death of King An Guorui. Not to mention that His Royal Highness is also the founding hero of our Great Chu. After the king left, he fought for the Great Chu and won every battle. All kinds of merits are enough. Brilliant in the annals of history. However, there is no longer any reward for being as honorable as His Royal Highness, Your Majesty might as well give His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing the honorary title to show his favor to the Rui Palace and appease the frontline soldiers."

"Furthermore, Fu Donglou improved looms, manufactured new weapons for the Yulin Army, opened Boguyuan to benefit the students and the people, all of which are credits, but because he is about to become Rui Wangqing, there is nothing to seal. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to do it for you?" Fu Donglou confers honorable titles. The merits of the two generations of the palace are known to the world, and the people will no longer believe the slanderous remarks about Fu Donglou when they see His Majesty treating the Wangfu so favorably, so the rumors will naturally dissipate."

Clutching the dragon button on the throne tightly with his palm, Bai Junhao gritted his molars with hatred: "Fu Xiang really does not shy away from relatives, Fu Donglou is your own son, so you are ashamed to ask him to be sealed, he If it’s not Rui Wangqing, you’re thinking about giving him a title! Now the Queen Mother doesn’t even have a title!”

Fu Zekai acted as if he didn't see Bai Junhao get angry, instead he said: "The empress dowager is the adoptive mother of your majesty and also the birth mother of King Rui. If you are honored as the empress dowager at this time, firstly, it will show your majesty's filial piety, and secondly, the king of Rui will be grateful." To die for His Majesty. Your Majesty's move is very clever."

"I think it's better to give the Empress Dowager a four-character honorary title, His Royal Highness Wang Taiqing and Fu Donglou. The specific characters to be used will be referred to the Ministry of Rites for details. What do you think of your Majesty?"

"Uncle Wang thinks so too?"

Gu Xian bowed: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will also pay Donglou to thank you."

"Okay, the generals and prime ministers are united, it's really a good omen for the ten thousand years of our Great Chu Kingdom. I think Uncle Wang and Prime Minister Fu are enough to make decisions on matters in the court. My emperor is just a puppet display!"

Bai Junhao was furious, lifted the desk and left in a huff.

Gu Xian raised his eyelids, Fu Zekai flicked his sleeves, and the two looked at each other and left the hall together.

"Just a title has no real power and no benefits. While eliminating disasters, it also gave His Majesty a good reputation of being filial to elders and loving brothers and sisters. He won Lanling Xiao's family and comforted the aristocratic family. Fu Xiang was doing his best, but the emperor didn't appreciate it." .”

Fu Zekai smiled wryly, and looked back at Xiandao: "I've been used to it for a long time. Your Majesty's behavior like this is because I didn't teach it well, and I committed my own crimes. Your Highness will be satisfied with the courtier's love."

"Why did Fu Xiang do this?" Gu Xian walked half a step ahead, and asked in a low voice to the third person, "If you want to be grateful, you must let Gu know your details."

Fu Zekai didn't answer but instead asked: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Rui is not in the army at the moment, and the general in the Habayashi Army is Zhai Xi. Is there such a thing?"

Although Bo Junhe is the prince in charge of the army, the battle plan still needs to be reported to the Ministry of War for file.It is a secret that Bo Junhe did not go with the Habayashi Army, apart from the emperor, Gu Xian, Cui Mingduo, Minister of War, also knew about it.Fu Zekai, as the order of Zhongshu, the head of all officials, even though he didn't know the specific content, he would not ignore it completely.If anyone still knows about this, they will ask the Ministry of War for leaking secrets.

"Fu Xiang means..." Recently, Gu Xian has faintly sensed something unusual in Jinguan City, and Fu Zekai's attitude is not the same as before. At this moment, Fu Zekai slightly hinted that Gu Xian was startled, "Sounds like this?"

"Your Highness is wise. If it gives the illusion that you and I are joining forces, do you think someone can still sit on the Diaoyutai?"

Gu Xian stopped in his tracks, his palms were covered with sweat, "You and I have attracted Mu Yan's attention, so who is really dealing with Mu Yan behind the scenes?"

"Your Highness, I still need to contact the courtiers to ask for the seal for Your Highness, so I will take my leave first." Fu Zekai saluted and walked away.

So, when Fu Donglou and others were trapped in the underground palace and didn't know how to get out, the Emperor of Great Chu gave the empress dowager Xiao Tongjin the honorary title of Minhui Shuxian, Wang Taiqing Gu Xian's honorary title of Jiade, and granted Wang Qing Fu Donglou the title of Xiang .Since Fu Donglou hadn't been formally canonized yet, the canon of the title will not be awarded until the big wedding.

For this matter, Fu Zekai joined forces with the ministers to urge Bai Junhao to be so angry that he didn't mention how uncomfortable he was. When Bai Junhao knew what his canonized Ruixiang Wang Qing Fu Donglou found in the underground palace, he I didn't even have the strength to pretend to be sick.
