Chapter 311 The Crown Princess’s Attachment!
Chapter 311 The Crown Princess’s Attachment!
Gu Jingzhi asked someone to buy him a house, the meaning was obvious!
If Lin Feng went to the Imperial Guard, then the two of them would naturally not be able to live in the same house anymore. One of them is a scholar and the other is a warrior. If it were any other time, it would not be a big deal.
After all, Lin Feng is only a fifth-rank general.
But the Imperial Guards are different. They are the army guarding the palace. Given the relationship between the two, there is no practical significance in asking Lin Feng to move out.
But this superficial effort is still necessary!
Therefore, Gu Jingzhi's answer was to tell Lin Feng to serve in the Imperial Guards!
……
After Gu Jingzhi returned home, he directly ordered the housekeeper to close the door.
Anyone could see that Gu Jingzhi would be given an important position after being transferred to the capital. Many people came to visit him, especially at this time of year, when the provincial examinations were over and many candidates from other places had already come to the capital, waiting for next year's spring examination.
Perhaps someone had speculated before that Gu Jingzhi would most likely take up the post of Minister of Rites and preside over next year's Spring Examination.
Therefore, some well-informed people sent visiting cards to the Marquis' Mansion early on. However, Gu Jingzhi already knew that he would take up the post of the Ministry of Revenue, so he planned not to meet any of these people!
Not to mention that next year's Spring Examination has little to do with him, even if he really presides over the Spring Examination, he has no intention of meeting these people.
His political career is still very long, and now is not the time to gather followers. Moreover, Emperor Xia is determined to rectify the Spring Examination. If he tries to recruit disciples at this time, he will be walking into the trap!
Besides, those people got the news as soon as Gu Jingzhi came back, and they were not the people Gu Jingzhi wanted to find!
However, he couldn't refuse all of these visiting cards. At least the one in front of him, which was handed to him by Qiao Shuwan, he couldn't refuse.
……
After dinner, Gu Jingzhi walked in the courtyard for a long time, constantly sorting out the situation in the court in his mind. Also, if he wanted to push the empty seal case forward, he couldn't just investigate it because he suspected corruption, right?
Although there is undoubtedly corruption, if you rashly report it without evidence, you will only offend people and may even disgust those court officials who are not involved in the party struggle.
Therefore, where to start is the most important!
Before I knew it, it was already late at night!
Gu Jingzhi rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly.
From the bottom of his heart, he prefers Ningzhou. It is far away from the capital, the people are simple and honest, and there are not so many right and wrongs. As a marquis staying in the local area, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor.
But what about the capital? He had just returned and had to face all kinds of disturbances. The key was that he could only advance and not retreat. If he took a step back, the enemy would advance. A situation of no return was already formed.
The enemy will never forget that he killed Gu Heng's family and sent Song Yu to the Jiaofangsi.
Especially Song Yu, the daughter of the prime minister, was sent to the Jiaofangsi, which was tantamount to rubbing Song Pu's face on the ground.
Song Pu lost in the last round of the game, and Song Yu was the biggest punishment for him. Although he made it public to the outside world, Song Yu and the Gu family had committed many crimes and had failed to live up to the emperor's favor and the country's grace, so he severed the father-daughter relationship.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was just a fig leaf for Song Pu, and he would never let it go.
Therefore, the hatred between Gu Jingzhi and Song Pu cannot be resolved.
"Let's take a step by step!"
Gu Jingzhi sighed softly.
He has not started his work yet, so there is no point in thinking too much. After all, the next step is to thoroughly investigate the empty seal case. There is no doubt that the aristocratic family will become the culprit in this case.
The empty seal case that he was familiar with killed a prime minister and the prime minister system as well. He didn't know if he could kill Song Pu this time.
After all, his first strategy when he entered officialdom was to abolish the prime minister and establish a cabinet. It had been almost three years, but it had never been implemented.
Gu Jingzhi stood up and stretched. Having nothing to do, he was wondering whether he should go to bed, when there was a knock on his door!
Gu Jingzhi frowned.
"Who's out there?"
"Sir, it's my subordinate!"
Qu Feiyan's cold voice came from outside the door. Gu Jing was stunned and then opened the door: "It's so late, but there is..."
What’s the matter… Before he could finish his words, he saw Qiao Shuwan wearing a cloak.
Gu Jingzhi's eyes widened.
Holy shit, this woman is so impatient! He came on his first night back in Beijing!
Gu Jingzhi looked at Qu Feiyan calmly: "I have something important to discuss, you go down first!"
"promise!"
Qu Feiyan responded with extraordinary calmness!
After she left, the Crown Princess walked straight into the room. After the door closed, she couldn't wait to pounce on Gu Jingzhi.
"Little rascal, I miss you so much!"
As expected, this person, the dignified and noble Crown Princess, is as charming and passionate as ever in private.
Gu Jingzhi put one hand around her waist and slapped a bulge in her face with the other hand: "Why did you come here today? Do you know how many people are watching outside my mansion?"
What's more, there are spies from the palace in his mansion.
The Crown Princess glanced at him coquettishly and said disdainfully, "How could you, little rascal, not know that my sister would be here tonight? It's true that you have many spies around your mansion, but I'm afraid that little girl following you is not someone who can be easily dealt with, right?"
"Uh……"
Gu Jingzhi smiled awkwardly: "You found out!"
"whispering sound……"
The Crown Princess rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Do you know how much effort I put into seeing you? You didn't even tell me whether you missed me or not!"
"Uh!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled awkwardly, then said, "Fei Yan is around my mansion, so there's nothing to worry about. But your coming here now... won't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become suspicious?"
"he?"
The Crown Princess sneered and said, "He was the one who asked me to come find you!"
"What?"
Gu Jingzhi was dumbfounded. It turned out that the prince personally brought his own wife to him and asked him to stand up and kick?
When the Crown Princess saw his expression, she immediately said, "What are you thinking? He just knew you were arriving in Beijing today, so he asked me to pass on some news to you!"
"I went back to my parents' house this morning, used my parents' taxi as cover, and came to see you in the evening!"
"..."
Delivering the message...
I don’t know whether the main purpose is to deliver messages and do something else by the way, or whether the main purpose is to do something else and delivering messages is just a by-product!
However, none of this matters.
Gu Jingzhi said, "It's just right. I just returned to the capital and don't know much about many things in the capital. You can tell me about it!"
"Boring!"
The Crown Princess was unhappy. She glared at Gu Jingzhi and said, "I went to great lengths to see you, but you only care about other things and don't even ask if I'm doing well!"
Her tone was resentful, just like a resentful little woman who was neglected by her husband!
Gu Jingzhi pinched her face and said, "Your skin is as white as cream and rosy... I think you must be living a good life, but..."
Gu Jingzhi picked her up.
"You're right, we really need to do something else first!"
"Hate……"
