Save my wife all over the world

============================

"Your Highness..."

After going to court the next day, Ling Yan wanted to temporarily avoid Gu Zhong

However, the sky didn't follow people's wishes, but the little highness walked straight forward, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and bend down to salute.

"Sir! Where are you going in such a panic?"

Gu Zhongding looked at her with imperceptible dissatisfaction in his words.

"I didn't wake up from the hangover yesterday, so I wanted to go back to rest earlier. I heard from the palace that it was His Highness who sent me back to the house last night. His Highness really laughed."

Ling Yan lowered her head, unwilling to look at Gu Zhong's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything.

"Sir... don't you remember what happened when you got drunk yesterday?"

Keenly aware of the implied meaning in Ling Yan's words, Gu Zhong's voice couldn't help but turn a few degrees colder.

"I'm ashamed to say that I always break up when I'm drunk, and I don't remember what happened after I was drunk, but is there something that offends His Highness?"

Ling Yan put on an innocent look, and was quite worried.

"……No."

After a long silence, Gu Zhongfang finally managed to utter two words from his mouth.

"Since the husband is not feeling well, he should take a good rest, so I won't bother you."

Ling Yan bowed her hands to apologize and said goodbye, and returned to the Changli Palace in a trance, suddenly fell into a serious illness, and even took half a month of sick leave.

In the past half a month, Gu Zhong lingered at the gate of Changli Palace, looked through the palace gates to the bedroom, but did not step in.

The people in the hall harbored guilt and hope, and looked outside the hall every day, as if there would be a happy figure walking in the next moment, talking and laughing at Yanyan.

No one bowed their heads, and they didn't know who this was a torture to.

After Ling Yan recovered from her illness, she asked Emperor Gu to leave the palace on the grounds that the Empress Dowager had discussed politics and had nothing to teach, and that the foreign ministers could not stay in the palace for a long time.

Gu Zhong found out about this, and held the memorial in his hand for a long time, but he never came to persuade him.

The days that followed were busy.

Ling Yan goes to court every day according to the order, and goes to the East Palace to order Mao.Discuss political opinions with Gu Zhong and make suggestions.The two talked about business affairs as before, but they no longer made any extraordinary moves.

It seems like nothing has changed, and it seems like everything has changed.

Emperor Gu ordered the Ting Wei Department to set up a special department to investigate the assassination of the empress dowager, but a group of expert detectives were like headless chickens. The clues were broken too thoroughly. A fire in Beiling burned all the clues, leaving only the Zuo clan. An existence that seemed strangely bright.

After the Zuo clan was taken to Xijing, they were kept under house arrest in a courtyard outside the palace.

Countless people wanted to get news from their mouths, no matter whether they used gold, silver, treasures or future lures, but they didn't get any results, and everyone didn't know.

It is impossible to put those families in prison for torture, even if they are related to the previous dynasty or the barbarians, if Gu Di dares to do this before he has any substantive evidence, the scholars all over the world will probably mobilize and attack him .

So far, perhaps this assassination case can only become an unsolved case.

Putting the assassination case aside for the time being, taking advantage of Gu Di's ability to choose a husband for himself, Gu Zhong can be considered to have found the opportunity to attack the family, and planned according to Ling Yan's layout, step by step.

After digging through these aristocratic families in detail, few of them are really clean. The bad deeds of encroaching on land and bullying others alone have left a whole room.

With this attack, Gu Zhongke reduced a lot of land quotas of the aristocratic families, restricted their ceremonial systems, and cut off the official positions of some marginal children.

Even though the families have some complaints, at this moment, because they climbed up to the royal family and dreamed of the dream of the next emperor coming out of their own homes, they turned a blind eye to her small actions. It's all for His Majesty's favor.

Apart from torturing the family, Gu Zhongben also wanted to ask Emperor Gu to order to limit the spread of witchcraft, but was rejected by Emperor Gu. He always felt that Emperor Gu was afraid of something.

In desperation, Gu Zhong could only publicly express his dislike for witchcraft, hoping that the officials below would understand this intention and stop creating another state within a state.

The religious issue in Beiling has not been resolved so far, which is a headache for the newly appointed sheriff.

As for choosing a husband, Gu Zhong seemed to have forgotten about it, except that he occasionally accepted the invitations of the children of the aristocratic families to go out together, and it dragged on for more than half a year, but Gu Di did not urge her until Yu Shicheng mentioned it again.

The aristocratic family couldn't understand, no matter from which aspect, Gu Di and Gu Zhong would not really choose a son of the aristocratic family as the royal husband-in-law.

The so-called husband selection is just a carrot hanging in front of the aristocratic family, luring them to give up some seemingly insignificant interests.

"Master Ling..."

This day, Ling Yan was stopped by someone, it was Chen Moxian, who still wore a gentle mask.

After the incident in the Northern Territory, he was first promoted to the Zhongcheng of the Lieutenant's Department, and then transferred away by the Tingwei's Department. However, he was promoted to another level in half a year, and now he is Tingweicheng.

This person is worthy of being the carefully cultivated prince of the former dynasty, and his ability is indeed stronger than many others.

"Ting Weicheng, what's the matter?"

It's just that every time he took the initiative to appear in front of Ling Yan, she always felt uneasy.

Chen Moxian made a bow first, "Lord Ling also heard today, His Highness's marriage has been delayed for a long time and there is no news, presumably none of those aristocratic families have ever caught His Highness's eyes..."

"That's His Highness's private matter, how can I wait for the minister to discuss it?" Ling Yan said coldly.

"It's hard to say... the official has been in love with His Highness for a long time..."

Chen Moxian didn't seem to notice her impatience, and continued.

"You should speak to His Highness about this..."

At this moment, Ling Yan felt that he was showing off, because he was able to express his love for Gu Zhong openly, whether it was false or sincere.

"My lord was joking, it's hard for an official to say a few words to His Highness, so I can only come to my lord for advice."

Ling Yan looked at him in surprise, if she understood correctly, he was asking her how to please the Empress Dowager, are they familiar?

This man can really dare to think.

Shocked, Ling Yan was speechless for a long time.

"grown ups?"

An idea flashed in Ling Yan's mind, divide and dissolve!

She spoke slowly.

"Tingweicheng, do you know what crime should be for spying on the princess? If you can make enough achievements in the courtwei's office, you will naturally impress His Highness, and you don't need to do such low-level things."

After saying this, he walked away, leaving Chen Moxian alone to speculate.

With enough achievements in the Ting Wei Department, is there any more weight than cracking the assassination case now?

It depends on how eager Chen Moxian is. He is eager to eradicate dissidents, to take full control of the entire former government and the old army, and to become a candidate for the prince's daughter-in-law, so as to pave a smooth path for his great cause of restoring the country.

Greatness always requires sacrifice.

As for whether he is qualified enough to attract Gu Di's attention after he has achieved enough political achievements, and become the best candidate for the prince's daughter-in-law and husband-in-law, it has to be said separately, it was a big gamble.

In the original book, Chen Moxian's experience of becoming the emperor's husband was not so ups and downs. He has outstanding ability, the champion of the new department, and he fell in love with the princess at first sight.

There is also the friendship of the northern border to overcome difficulties hand in hand, and under the circumstances that it is impossible to choose those aristocratic families, it is logical for Gu Zhong to choose him.

Now the chessboard has been disrupted, everyone is a chess piece, and only those who become chess masters are eligible to play chess.

Now Gu Zhong is very indifferent to Chen Moxian, even though he is a rare talent in the middle of the court, but there are a few newly admitted Jinshi this year that are not bad, what he needs now is a more powerful bargaining chip.

It depends on whether he has the courage and courage of a strong man to sever his wrist, and whether he dares to bet on such a small possibility.

The answer is beyond doubt.One month later, the Ting Wei Department announced the result of the assassination of the empress dowager.

It is rumored that thanks to Ting Weicheng's carefulness, an old case of the Zuo family was found, involving Zuo Yingyuan's son-in-law's poisoning of officials in Beiling. .

In order to save her beloved son, Mrs. Zuo handed over the secret box left by Zuo Yingyuan before her death, in exchange for the chance of her ineffective son's life.

She only knew that it was of great importance, and she didn't dare to show it to others easily, and she never let go of it before.But under the life and death of his son, he didn't care about his husband's entrustment.

After the Ministry of Industry deciphered the secret box, they found a stack of letters, all of which were letters between Zuo Yingyuan and the heads of various families, which involved many dirty secrets. If Emperor Gu is serious, he can cut off all these families A layer of skin.

But the one that attracted the most attention was a secret letter asking Zuo Yingyuan to provide the trace of the princess.

Emperor Gu ordered people to investigate secretly. Without disturbing anyone, he followed the clues and found out several Beiling families who were involved with the previous dynasty and the barbarians. The avalanche on Kangzhuang Avenue was all caused by them.

Emperor Gu was furious, and sent people to Luyi overnight to capture the entire family of those aristocratic families, escorted them to Beijing, and sent them to court prison.

A few family members who couldn't bear the torture even leaked a lot of news, helping the court overthrow several strongholds of the former rebel party hiding in Beiling County, and even captured a loyal and famous general of the former dynasty alive.

"I don't know, but you still have no memory of the former dynasty. If that's the case, why don't you ask you to be officials in another place?"

Throwing the whole story of the assassination case submitted by the Ting Wei Department on the ground, Emperor Gu was furious, and all the ministers were trembling and knelt down to plead guilty.

Another place, isn't it the underworld?

This case involved quite a lot, the aristocratic families were connected with each other, many had in-laws, it was difficult to completely disregard the relationship, all the families were walking on thin ice all of a sudden, for fear that Gu Di's wrath would cause them to reunite.

Fortunately, Emperor Gu was still sensible, knowing that the aristocratic family would be exhausted for a while, he would only copy and behead the first few families, and tattoo all the collaterals and exile them in southern Xinjiang.

As for the Zuo family, Zuo Yingyuan is dead, but the head has not been found so far, which arouses suspicion.

In addition to spying on the whereabouts of the princess, even if there is no obvious evidence that he has more ties to the previous dynasty, even if Mrs. Zuo is successful in reporting, the entire Zuo family will be whitened and continue to be imprisoned in Beijing.

Such a shocking case was solved, and the first contribution was recorded by Chen Moxian. Because of his family involvement, the Tingwei Department, the Tingwei Department, pleaded guilty and asked to be sent down. Emperor Gu actually directly proposed Chen Moxian to take charge of the Tingwei Department. No.1.

If he is not too young, I am afraid that he will become one of the nine ministers.

Not to mention that Chen Moxian made great contributions and reached the sky in one step, or he took this opportunity to fight against dissidents and take control of the old ministry.

Looking at the benefits obtained by the royal family, it is real.

The layout of the Northern Tomb of the previous dynasty was destroyed for many years, and its vitality was severely damaged. The Northern Tomb returned to the control of the imperial court.

The power of the aristocratic family has been cut again and again, and it has declined in just one year, and the imperial power has become stronger. If Gu Zhong wants to implement the New Deal in the future, the resistance will be much smaller.

Chen Moxian sold his subordinates for glory, it can be said that everyone was happy with the sale.

As for how he explained to his old department and how not to be bitten back, that was his own business.

It seemed that everything was going smoothly as Ling Yan imagined.

When she heard that Emperor Gu ordered Chen Moxian to be Gu Zhong's husband-in-law, she couldn't believe it.

Gu Zhong, this is... promised?
