Gu Jingyun's crime of deceiving the emperor was over when Li Baolu blocked an arrow for the emperor with a knife.

After the couple returned to the palace, they were almost confessed. Not only the palace staff, but also the guards guarding outside were much more friendly to them. The guard at the bottom also smiled at her very friendly, and reminded her to be careful not to hurt her hands.

  Li Baolu was silent for a while, then flew down the wall with two big pears in her arms, and said to Gu Jingyun, "It seems that everyone is very optimistic about the crown prince. When do you think our house arrest will end?"

   "The short one is today, the long one is two days." Gu Jingyun frowned at the pear in her arms and said, "This is sour and not delicious."

   "These two are ripe, I think they must be sweet," Li Baolu clenched the pear's hand, and immediately put the topic back to the point: "How is the time calculated?"

"Didn't the maid who came to deliver the meal just now said that the Empress is here," Gu Jingyun said with the corners of his mouth curled up: "The Queen was chosen by the great-grandfather himself for His Majesty. Over the years, the Crown Prince has been in a bad situation, and she has been placed under house arrest. In Kunning Palace, but not only is she alive and well, she can help Commander Wan to clean up the nails in the harem within less than half a year of her coming out of the palace, do you think such a queen is simple?"

   So she will definitely find a way to lift their confinement, but I don't know how sick the emperor is.

   Gu Jingyun only thought about the emperor, so the inner servant of the main hall came to invite Gu Jingyun to meet the emperor.

   Li Baolu also wanted to keep up, but this time the emperor deliberately let his servants pass the word, he didn't want to see Li Baolu.

  Li Baolu:  …

  Li Baolu could only watch Gu Jingyun leave with the servant, her feet were itchy and wanted to keep up, but seeing Gu Jingyun's faint gaze, if Li Baolu could control her feet.

   When Gu Jingyun arrived at the main hall of the emperor, Peng Dan was already waiting with his important officials, and the prince and grandson were also rushing over.

  The emperor was still half lying on the couch, and he didn't hide his sickness at all. Seeing Gu Jingyun, he raised his hand and said, "Come here, come here to draft the imperial edict."

  Gu Jingyun paused, knelt on the futon under the couch, and picked up the pen on the low table in front of him.

  The emperor glanced at all the ministers and said indifferently: "The case of the Yellow River bursting has been solved."

   All the ministers were stunned for a moment. It has been so many years since the Yellow River **** burst case.

The emperor ignored their astonishment and continued: "Wan Peng has investigated clearly that the Fourth Prince was indeed involved, the Yellow River burst its banks and damaged farmland, and killed many people downstream. So far, many victims who have been exiled have not been rescued. The prince should have an inescapable responsibility, so I decided to put the fourth prince under house arrest by the ancestral temple, let him atone for his sins, and let him pray for the great Chu community."

   All ministers:  …

  Your Majesty, do you still want to cover up the fourth prince, and you are not convicted of treason, but of dereliction of duty and corruption?

   These two are different in nature!

  Only Wan Peng knew that the emperor did not cover up the fourth prince, and he really did not participate in the assassination of the fourth prince this time.

   Maybe he had this idea, and even revealed it to Concubine Lan Gui, that's why this assassination happened, or maybe it was Concubine Lan Gui's own opinion.

   But judging from his trial and the performance of the fourth prince at the scene of the assassination, he did not participate or even knew about it.

   But Concubine Lan Gui's rebellion was for him, and he also used the people trained by the Tartars to assassinate Gu Jingyun, and the emperor would not tolerate him anymore.

   Banning is a good ending.

   But Gu Jingyun doesn't think so.

   Gu Jingyun thought for a moment and then began to draw up the imperial edict. He listed the fourth prince as the second opponent, and the first was the emperor, and he never stopped researching the two of them.

   He knows the emperor, and naturally he also understands the fourth prince. The fourth prince is arrogant, daring, and absolutely outgoing. Such a person will be locked in a small courtyard for the rest of his life.

  Gu Jingyun: Hehe

   was more painful than killing him.

   However, Gu Jingyun wrote this imperial decree happily.

The emperor continued on the second topic, "Issued a letter of accountability with the Tartars, the border is on pre-war alert, and the general of Zhenguo is the Marshal of Zhenbei, who is in charge of the thirteen guards in the north. If the Tartars move troops, they must be stopped. outside the country."

   "Recall Qin Xinfang, and he will be responsible for all matters concerning the Tartars, and the minister of Honglu Temple will assist him."

  Gu Jingyun's pen tip trembled and he almost didn't hold the pen.

   He tightened his hand, and it took a long time to calm down, and the emperor had already explained the foreign policy towards the Tartars, try not to fight, but once the army is raised, he must not retreat.

   Gu Jingyun stabilized his mind before writing the recall edict. His uncle was rehabilitated, and he wrote the edict himself!

  The corner of the emperor's eyes kept staring at Gu Jingyun, seeing that his eyes were slightly wet, and the hand holding the pen was trembling slightly, but his face was still sullen, and his mood was finally a little better.

The ministers below have different thoughts. Some are genuinely happy for Qin Xinfang, and some are jealous, while Peng Dan's heart is extremely complicated. As a senior brother, he should be happy for Qin Xinfang, but deep down he doesn't want to. He is back.

   Just one Gu Jingyun can call on so many contacts in the Qin family. If Qin Xinfang came back in person, would he still be able to secure his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet?

But at this time, no one cared about his feelings. Everyone was calculating in their hearts the time it would take for the imperial decree and official documents to quickly get to Qiongzhou, and then bring people back from Qiongzhou, and send the credentials to the Tatar, and negotiate with the Tatar Time gap, whether Qin Xinfang can catch up with the first confrontation.

   And the imperial decree that the emperor was about to make immediately scared them into forgetting all of them in an instant.

The Emperor    said, "Let's set up a succession edict."

  The main hall was silent, and everyone looked at the emperor with dumbfounded expressions.

   Haven’t you always been taboo about this, why did you suddenly figure it out?

   And do you still need an edict of succession? With the current situation, shouldn't you wait for you to die and be enthroned directly by the prince?

  The emperor looked at the prince and the grandson, and said complicatedly: "The prince will ascend the throne, and the grandson of the emperor will be the prince."

The crown prince hurriedly knelt to the ground, and just as he was about to say goodbye, the emperor raised his hand and said, "I don't have much time, and we don't need to play those three-word dramas between us, and let the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household begin to prepare for the enthronement. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the negotiations between the Great Chu and the Tartars, so the matter of enthronement should not be neglected, after I leave, you must stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, at least not give the Tartars a chance to take advantage."

  The prince knelt on the ground silently, and kowtowed after a while to thank him.

  The emperor nodded with satisfaction. His son is not good, but this is good. He doesn't do unnecessary things, and he can listen to suggestions.

   After saying this, it is the emperor's specific behind-the-scenes matter.

In fact, emperors are generally not shy about things behind them. After ascending the throne, the emperor will ask the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works to prepare a mausoleum. An emperor's tomb may take more than ten years to build, and he will ask the craftsmen to modify it when he thinks of it. Increase or decrease, so the world span is very large.

The current mausoleum was built by him and his crown queen. It took seven or eight years to build it, but then the emperor became more and more extravagant, and naturally he was not satisfied with the mausoleum he built before, so he rebuilt it, and collected more The grave goods that came, today's mausoleums are almost comparable to the Taizu Emperor of this dynasty.

Therefore, the emperor did not shy away from asking Gu Jingyun to write down the things that he must be buried with after his death. In addition to the daily necessities he used to use, there are also books, antiques, jade, porcelain, fabrics, and even gold and silver that he likes. .

   In addition to these, he also had to put in his favorite food. Of course, the main purpose of the emperor's long-winded words was, "Cut out a single room in the main hall's wing and let the Lan family be buried."

   All the ministers were startled again. While sympathizing with Concubine Lan, they couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the emperor really liked Concubine Lan very much. When she died, she had to be buried next to her.

   Gu Jingyun, who drafted the edict, raised the corner of his mouth, wrote all the edicts briskly, and presented them to the emperor.

  The emperor only turned over the burial of Concubine Lan Gui and the national letter to the Tartars, and the rest was handed over to Peng Dan for review, and if there was no problem, it would be stamped and issued.

   Facts have proved that a genius is a genius. Although Gu Jingyun has never done this job, he is perfect in terms of format and choice of words, even if Peng Dan deliberately finds fault, he can't find it.

   So Director Su took out the jade seal, and after printing the red clay, he held the emperor's hand and gently covered the imperial edict. The rest was handed over to the Ministry of Rites to declare the imperial edict.

The ministers were about to withdraw when the emperor suddenly turned his head to Peng Dan and said: "The Kaiping case has been investigated, the treason at that time has nothing to do with Junde, but the closing documents can only be issued after the Dali Temple has sorted out the evidence, so the vindication needs to be done. Time. But since I want to recall him, I can't let him sleep on the streets. I will sort out the properties of the Qin Mansion and Qin's family that were sealed up back then and return it to him. said: "You are both the chief assistant and Junde's senior brother, so you can handle this matter."

  Peng Dan solemnly bowed his head and replied "Yes".

   Gu Jingyun glanced at him with a half-smile, and wanted to retreat with the ministers, but the emperor left him, "Speak with me."

   All the ministers had no more turbulence in their hearts and stepped back calmly.

After    and the others left, the emperor said: "I saw it just now, you are mocking Peng Dan."

   Gu Jingyun said lightly, "Your Majesty is wrong."

"That's why I don't like you," the emperor said, "The Qin family is honest, if your uncle ridiculed someone, he would definitely disdain to hide it, I can see that you are still lying to me, and your face will never waver, just Like a wooden man."

   "I have always thought that Your Majesty likes this minister very much. After all, you invite your minister to enter the palace to play chess every once in a while," Gu Jingyun said sharply: "As for the frankness that His Majesty said, this minister thinks that His Majesty will not like it."

   "How do you know I don't like it if you don't say it?"

"I dare not be frank, because I have no foundation in the capital, and my uncle is frank enough, because even if the other party knows that he has been mocked by his uncle, he can't do anything. The boy has no such courage."

   means it's all your fault.

  The emperor was so angry that he fell backwards. For the first time, Director Su looked at Gu Jingyun with disapproval, and reminded: "Servant Gu said, Your Majesty should not be angry."

  Gu Jingyun cupped his hands and said insincerely, "I know I'm wrong."

  The emperor felt even more angry.
