"Your Majesty, I don’t think it’s appropriate!"

Gu Ze refused without even thinking.

"Gu Ze, what's wrong? Could it be that the battle twenty years ago scared your courage?"

When Xue Yuan heard Gu Ze's objection, he suddenly became furious.

He stared at Gu Ze with a stern look in his eyes.

Regarding Xue Yuan's words, Gu Ze didn't even think about paying attention to him.

He directly said to Shen Lang:

"Your Majesty, not to mention the high walls of Jinling City, how difficult it is to break through. Even if it is defeated, has Your Majesty ever thought about how many people will die?"

"Moreover, Jiangnan is close to the sea. If the imperial court attacks Jinling, King Pingnan can board the ship and go to sea at any time!"

"Jiangnan has been occupied by King Pingnan for so many years, and many people are loyal to King Pingnan. If King Pingnan cannot be captured or killed, the troubles in Jiangnan will still not be completely solved!"

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it is inappropriate to attack the city at this time!"

At this moment, Xie Ju'an, who was dressed in purple robe, also took a step forward and bowed to Shen Lang.

"oh? Master Xie feels the same way?"

Shen Lang looked at Xie Ju'an and asked with some surprise.

"Yes! I think what Duke Wei Guo said is very reasonable!"

"absurd! Are we just going to watch Pingnan King collude with the Japanese pirates?"

Xue Yuan didn't expect that these two people would dare to refute him.

He immediately shouted angrily

"Even if Lord Dingguo and King Pingnan wanted to collude with the Japanese pirates, they would not act so quickly! But you, why are you so anxious to attack Jinling?"

Gu Ze looked at Xue Yuan and asked unhurriedly

"Could it be that he has some selfish motives of his own?"

"presumptuous! I am acting for the imperial court and your majesty! Where is the selfishness?"

When Xue Yuan heard Gu Ze's words, his face suddenly became very ugly.

His eyes were staring at Gu Ze with such a look that he really wanted to eat Gu Ze.

"Okay, uncle, Gu Ze, please stop arguing! Let me think about this matter for a while and wait a few days before discussing it again!"

Shen Lang watched Gu Ze and Xue Yuan fight, and hurriedly made peace with the mud.

After all, Gu Ze was in good health. If the two of them fought, Gu Ze would definitely not be able to defeat Xue Yuan, who has been practicing martial arts for many years.

And Xue Yuan heard that Shen Lang After speaking, he stopped arguing with Gu Ze.

However, his face was still very ugly.

"Okay, everyone, please step aside! Gu Ze, please stay here!"

Shen Lang looked at everyone and said softly.

After hearing this, Xue Yuan and Xie Ju'an bowed to Shen Lang and then turned and left the Yangxin Hall.

Xue Yuan, in particular, was very angry.

"Gu Ze, sit down!"

After everyone else left, Shen Lang smiled at Gu Ze and said

"Thank you, Your Majesty!

After Gu Ze sat down, Shen Lang stood up from the dragon chair, looked at Gu Ze and said with a smile:

"Gu Ze, tell me, what does my uncle want to do in such a hurry to attack Jinling?"

"No matter what he wants to do, he must be holding back nothing!"

Gu Ze said with a shrug.

And Shen Lang couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Gu Ze's careless look.

However, he didn't reprimand him.

He was actually quite willing to see Gu Ze like this in front of him.

This meant that Gu Ze was treating him like this. Treat him as a friend, not as the emperor.

Only he knows the loneliness of the emperor.

Therefore, he cares very much about Gu Ze, his only friend.

In private, he never gets along with Gu Ze as the emperor.

Of course, this It may also be related to the fact that Gu Ze does not participate in government affairs and does not have military power.

As for what exactly is going on, only Shen Lang himself knows

"My uncle is becoming more and more domineering in the court! Most of the people in the six departments of the court belong to him!"

Shen Lang walked up to Gu Ze and sneered.

Don't really think Shen Lang is stupid.

The Queen Mother returned the imperial court to Shen Lang when he was sixteen.

Now, he has been the emperor for twelve years.

How could the troubles in the court be hidden from him?

Xue Yuan has not been touched. On the one hand, it is because Shen Lang is worried about his mother.

After all, Xue Yuan is the younger brother of the Queen Mother.

On the other hand, Xue Yuan has already established a big tree. It’s deep.

It’s not that easy to deal with Xue Yuan

"Gu Ze, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice has been vacant for a long time, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Husbandry has also handed me the document about retiring from old age and returning to his hometown! Who do you think is more suitable for these two positions?"

Shen Lang looked at Gu Ze and asked softly.

Gu Ze was not surprised by this. Over the years, when Shen Lang went to see him in the Duke Wei's Mansion, he often discussed these issues with Gu Ze.

"Your Majesty, Master Gu has been out in exile for some years, right?"

Gu Ze looked at Shen Lang and laughed softly.

"You!"

When Shen Lang heard Gu Ze's words, he couldn't help but smile and pointed at Gu Ze.

He naturally knew that the person Gu Ze was talking about was Gu Chunfang.

Gu Chunfang was Shen Lang's teacher.

Gu Ze was Shen Lang's teacher at that time. Lang's reading companion can be regarded as Gu Chunfang's student.

Of course, Gu Chunfang and Gu Ze are still related to each other.

However, this relationship is already very estranged.

"What about the household department?"

"What does Your Majesty think of Jiang Boyou, the Minister of Household Affairs?"

"Jiang Boyu? A good choice indeed! Gu Ze, it seems that although you don't go to court, you are quite clear about matters in court!"

Shen Lang looked at Gu Ze and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is joking! Mainly because Mr. Jiang visited me at my house yesterday! I asked someone to check Mr. Jiang and found that his official voice was very good."

"In addition to His Majesty's inquiry today, I just said his name smoothly!"

"oh? Mr. Jiang visited you yesterday? Because of what?"

Shen Lang asked with some surprise.

Gu Ze didn't hide anything, and told what happened when Ning Er was there when he rescued Shen Zhiyi that day.

After listening to Gu Ze's story, Shen Lang felt relieved.
