Growth strategy

The rumors in Kyoto intensified, and when the news of Li Ke's death came, it finally reached its peak.

The emperor and empress were at odds, natural disasters struck again, and the Yellow River burst its embankment.The people were displaced, and they all said that this was a punishment from the heavens.

Three years ago, after the Yellow River was strengthened once, the dam collapsed in three years for no reason.

Ye Li sat on the dragon chair and trembled with anger. This is a big deal. When the Yellow River bursts its embankment, many people will die. He looked at Cai Xiang with sharp eyes.

"Can Xiang Cai have something to say?"

Cai Xiang came out and knelt on the ground, his voice was hoarse, "I am incompetent."

"You are indeed incompetent." Ye Li said angrily.

How dare this old man!How dare he? !On weekdays, he would be greedy for a little money and forget it, but he dared to move the money for the Yellow River embankment.

Cai Xiang bent even lower, and all his hair fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Cai is doing his best for the country, this..." Many officials knelt down to intercede for Prime Minister Cai.

Ye Li sneered, his good minister, power really can corrupt people's hearts.The person who was full of righteousness and said that he wanted to feed the people of the world is gone forever, and it seems that he has to support other people.

His eyes swept across the audience and landed on Gu Chengfeng, the Gu family?Maybe a good choice.

Ye Li rubbed his thumb and forefinger, and said, "The breaking of the embankment of the Yellow River is no small matter. I ordered Prime Minister Gu to be responsible for this matter. You may have any opinions."

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, knowing that even if there was any objection, it would only annoy the emperor, and it was a clear fact that Gu Xiang was in charge, and they had nothing to do about it.

Although Gu Chengfeng was surprised, he still accepted the order.

Spring House.

Xiao Yi pushed open the window, looked at the drizzle outside, and said softly: "I am here to congratulate Gu Xiangping on his success."

Gu Chengfeng played with the folding fan and smiled lightly, "His Royal Highness's auspicious words. It's just that I'm going to the Yellow River to control the water, and my family is hard to take care of. I hope His Highness will take care of you."

"Don't worry, Gu Xiang. Miss Gu has a marriage contract with Mr. Song, and Mr. Song is an orphan's companion. Gu will take care of her."

"That's good." Gu Chengfeng nodded and smiled.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jin have been together for many years, and the relationship is naturally deep, but he has not forgotten the fact that Gu Jin is Xiao Yi's person, but they have not seen each other for many years, and I am afraid that their relationship will fade.

Although Song Ziyuan is good, he can be called a young hero, but it can't hide the fact that Xiao Yi is wooing Song Ziyuan.

Gu Chengfeng let go of his thoughts, and suddenly asked, "It's just that His Highness promised the minister..."

Xiao Yi slightly raised her eyebrows, "When Xiang Gu returns to Beijing, Xiang Gu's wish will be fulfilled."

Although Gu Chengfeng had doubts about how Xiao Yi would complete it, he would not speak out.

The two chatted a few more gossips, but they couldn't get anything out of each other, so they just bid farewell bitterly.

The moon was full that night.

Gu Chengfeng's study room was brightly lit, and the servants could only think that Gu Xiangzai went to the Yellow River to control the floods because of this, but he didn't know that there was already an extra person in the room.

Mu Qiushui frowned, with a somewhat sad expression on his face.

Gu Chengfeng put down the booklet in his hand, and said with a smile, "Are men also so jealous?" His voice sounded gloating.

It was rare for Mu Qiushui not to argue with her, and said in a low tone, "I didn't kill Li Ke."

Gu Chengfeng leaned lazily on the backrest, and said, "I didn't find much information, but..." Gu Chengfeng tapped his fingers on the table, puzzled, and said, "Li Ke doesn't have any resemblance to his parents' faces. I heard that his mother picked them up. of them." Only food and clothing is a problem for the common people, so how could they pick up an abandoned baby?

Mu Qiushui frowned even deeper, "You mean Li Ke's appearance was not accidental."

Gu Chengfeng said with a half-smile: "Although there are many wonders in the world, is it true that someone can look exactly the same?" Gu Chengfeng's tone was strange, seeing Mu Qiushui pondering, he continued: "Although I don't know much about Jiang Yufei, I also know that she is not For a person who is addicted to love, she will attack you for a substitute? This is unreasonable. I don't know what happened back then, but is Jiang Ke really dead?" At the end, Gu Chengfeng's tone became lower and lower, Already brought the coax.

Mu Qiushui suddenly raised his head and stared at Gu Chengfeng, his gaze was burning like a torch, "Li Ke is Jiang Ke?" Suddenly he frowned, "That's impossible? But Jiang Yufei is too protective of him."

Gu Chengfeng shrugged helplessly, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Who knows? But I still advise you to avoid getting involved in Fengqi Palace these days, so as not to get out of it."

Mu Qiushui said: "I see, thank you for today's matter, I will take my leave first." Seeing Mu Qiushui leave in a hurry, Gu Chengfeng kept his mouth shut after unnecessary advice.

Forget it, you've done your best.

And how can you go back on it?Gu Chengfeng smiled sarcastically.

Revitalizing the Gu family is your goal, and any obstacles must be cleared away.

Mu Qiushui.Gu Chengfeng sighed lightly.

He can't stay.

The next day, Gu Xiang set off for the Yellow River to control the water.

Gu Jin was troubled, "Daddy, take care all the way." He couldn't say any more words.

Gu Chengfeng nodded yes, and was about to step into the carriage, "Ajin, if you encounter difficulties, you can go to the Song Mansion for help."

"Daddy?" Gu Jin was surprised. After all, he suddenly knew that he was engaged to Song Ziyuan, or that His Majesty personally ordered it to be a surprise, but now Gu Chengfeng said that he had an unusual relationship with the Song family.

Gu Chengfeng didn't explain too much, got into the carriage and left in the dust.

Although Gu Jin had doubts in his heart, he suppressed it.Ask Ziyuan next time.

Thinking of Song Ziyuan, Gu Jin quietly blushed, wondering what he meant last time.

On the other side, Fengqi Palace.

Xiao Yi, who was considered to be Song Ziyuan, knelt in the hall.

Jiang Yufei looked at Xiao Yi with great interest, her ancient well-like eyes were rarely turbulent, and said, "Jiang Tang, did you kill Li Ke?" Maybe her son still has courage.

"My son doesn't know." Xiao Yi replied with lowered eyes, her figure was as straight as a green pine.

"What did Li Ke talk to you about that day?" Jiang Yufei asked lightly, but her words were full of pressure.

"Young Master Li didn't talk about anything with the son, but let the son disturb the queen."

"Really?" Jiang Yufei was thoughtful, wondering if she believed his words.

"My son's words are true." Xiao Yi said, although her tone was calm, but Xiao Yi knew that her back was covered with sweat and she was afraid.

Jiang Yufei said: "You should stay in the East Palace for the next few days." Without giving any reason, Xiao Yi was relieved.Although Jiang Yufei didn't dispel her doubts, she didn't make a move either. It seemed that she had escaped a catastrophe.

"My son is sick, so I will take my leave first."

"Go back." With Jiang Yufei's permission, Xiao Yi resigned.

And Mu Qiushui came out from behind the screen.

Jiang Yufei glanced at him and said calmly, "It's not Jiangtang."

Mu Qiushui raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled brightly, "Of course not him."

Jiang Yufei also smiled, her smile was as cold as ever, "You think it's Ye Li?" Mu Qiushui picked a wooden chair and sat down, his tone was laziness, "It's obvious."

Jiang Yufei didn't refute, but nodded lightly, "If he can kill Jiang Ke, he can also kill Li Ke, but..."

Jiang Yufei's eyes fell on Mu Qiushui, her tone was light, "How did Ye Li know?"

"Are you doubting me?" Mu Qiushui stood up directly, obviously very angry, "I won't say it."

"You know Jiang Ke's importance to me best." Jiang Yufei retorted.

"You!" Mu Qiushui was so angry that his chest hurt, "I will find out the facts."

"It's up to you." Jiang Yufei was still indifferent, she got up and left, and Mu Qiushui also left angrily.

It can be said that the two broke up unhappy.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether Mu Qiushui finds out the truth or not.

Li Ke is just the beginning.
