Gongshang Confidante

The time for the enthronement ceremony is approaching, a country cannot be without a king for a day, there is not much time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, and the palace is busy back and forth, among other things, more than a hundred embroiderers have to sew day and night just for the enthronement dragon robe There is no slightest mistake.

"Your Highness has lost a lot of weight these days, and the new court clothes can be compared, so as not to be loose and unfit at that time." Xia Ling led a few people behind and said, Zhou Chiyu put down the memorial in his hand, got up and stretched his arms, and several people stepped forward tailored.

"Let Xia Zhi make some jujube paste cakes and almond cakes. There will be distinguished guests at night", Zhou Chiyu said, "Yes", Xia Ling agreed, secretly thinking about asking Xia Zhi to cook, which shows the importance of the visitor.

At night, Xia Ling went to welcome her to the Chengde Hall in person. Two of them were wearing veiled hats, one was wearing a black jacket and buckskin boots, and the other was wearing an azure cloak. They were dressed like women, but they were neat and tidy. Presumably they were armed with martial arts. of.

Zhou Chiyu waited in the hall, pacing back and forth, saw the two hurriedly greeted them, dismissed the crowd, raised his voice, "I have seen Master, Aunt Qing", the two took off their hats, it was Yun Qing and Gu Qingsheng.

Yun Qing was dressed in jet black, with his usual indifferent face, he only nodded his head as a response, Zhou Chiyu raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingsheng, only to see that her face was sullen, with a hint of anger, but she didn't express it.

"Aunt Qing can have a meal. I asked someone to make some cakes that Aunt Qing loves to eat. This is..." Zhou Chiyu said, "No need." Don't dare to disturb, please go to Huagong to see."

Seeing Gu Qingsheng's refusal, Zhou Chiyu was not annoyed, but ordered someone to drive to Huagong to watch.

There were two guards standing at the entrance of Huagong Temple, the gate was tightly closed, Gu Qingsheng frowned, and strode forward after getting off the sedan chair, "Bold! Who dares to trespass?!", the guard shouted, " Let go," Zhou Chiyu said behind, "Yes, Your Highness," and the two guards

Seeing Zhou Chiyu approaching, he opened the door and knelt down on the ground.

In the deserted Huagong Temple, the moonlight was shining, and a man in a white shirt stood under a tree, standing barefoot, with black hair hanging down, and a thin figure. Gu Qingsheng felt distressed in his eyes, so he untied the cloak and put it on her. Said, "It's autumn, and I don't have to worry about catching cold if I wear so little",

The man didn't turn his head, just sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "You're still here...",

Gu Qingsheng held her shoulders, glanced at her eyebrows, leisurely eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like falling stars, there were fine wrinkles at the end of the eyes, the sockets of the eyes turned red involuntarily, and the thumbs stroked the corners of her eyes, "The wasted years are not enough? Life is too short, and there are not many days left for us to live together",

"Qingsheng", Duan Ruohua called her, in the deliberately suppressed voice, the emotions contained in it could no longer be hidden, Gu Qingsheng hugged her in his arms, sighing deeply.

Zhou Chiyu stood not far away, looking at the two people who were embracing each other, feeling in her heart, in her heart, what she admired the most was Duan Ruohua's calmness and unruffledness. Even if the Zhou Dynasty changed emperor and the prince rebelled, it would be difficult for her to stir up waves in her silent heart.

The moment she met Gu Qingsheng, her coldness and indifference disappeared.

"Let's go, let's talk after we leave the palace if we have something to say." Gu Qingsheng took her hand and walked out, "In a few days, it will be my enthronement hall. Why don't the emperor's grandmother and Aunt Qing stay together, and the future It’s not too late to leave in a few days,” Zhou Chiyu said,

Duan Ruohua didn't make a sound yet, Gu Qingsheng couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and said, "Do you remember how Aunt Ning treated you when you were young?", "Aunt Ning treated Chao'er very well", Zhou Chiyu responded,

"The Su family and the Ning family are family friends. Who doesn't know that the Su family is a loyal family, and you framed Su Muhan for the crime of treason for the sake of the throne, and the disaster spread to the whole family." Gu Qingsheng had anger in his eyes, "Prime Minister Su is an official. Integrity, Su Muhan has been a soldier all his life, he would rather die in battle than bear the burden

reputation as a traitor and traitor,"

"Since I was a child, I have told you that a minister accepts talents based on his talents, and a king acts based on his understanding..." Gu Qingsheng still wanted to speak, but Duan Ruohua lightly pinched his hand

Then he didn't speak again, and stood aside with a sullen face.

"Of course I remember Aunt Qing's words. Behind this sentence, it is based on the fact that the Mingjun should think that the common people benefit, not on the family background, male and female. If a woman's talent and virtue are better than a man's, it is not impossible to be a minister and an emperor." Zhou Chiyu Slightly raising his chin, he said, "I have my own ambitions. From now on, the Zhou Dynasty will prosper and the people will live in peace, and the people will live in peace and prosperity for a hundred years!",

Gu Qingsheng looked at Zhou Chiyu with some emotion, "You only want to be the emperor and control the power of the world, but you have thought that you are for the world, but where do you put the people around you? If I hadn't stopped Aunt Ning from entering Gong, how should you face it? You framed the reputation of the Su family, you broke Aunt Ning's heart, and how will you treat Mu Xue?",

"It's easy to win the world, but it's hard to win the hearts of the people. Do you really think it's worth what you gave up for the supreme power?",

Zhou Chiyu pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes were as firm as ever, Duan Ruohua knew that she had made up her mind and there was no room for maneuver, so she walked up to her slowly and said, "Under An Ding today, you will be enthroned as emperor. The trend of the times, I and Qingsheng only hope that you can care about the people of the world, know people and make good use of them, and be a wise king",

"Understood", Zhou Chiyu bowed deeply to Duan Ruohua, and said, "I'm leaving today, I don't know when we will see each other again, my son, thank the emperor for your kindness in teaching",

Duan Ruohua said disappointedly, "You've already come out of nowhere, I didn't expect that even I was in your scheme..."

"Grandmother, my son..." Zhou Chiyu was about to defend himself when Duan Ruohua stopped her, "I said before that the Great Zhou has its own definite numbers and alternations, and you can fight for the throne among the princes because of your scheming and ability",

Zhou Chiyu glanced at Gu Qingsheng. At the beginning, she made an agreement with Gu Qingsheng that she led the army to rebel against Prince Ping, and the bargaining chip in exchange was Duan Ruohua, who was imprisoned in Huagong Temple.

Gu Qingsheng would definitely not tell Duan Ruohua and hurt her heart, but Duan Ruohua is as careful as a hair, as long as he knows a little about things outside the palace, he can make a guess.

"The child is young and the affairs of the court are estranged. I hope that the emperor's grandmother can help me with all my heart, so that the country will be rich and the people strong for another ten years," Zhou Chiyu said, while Duan Ruohua shook his head, "The agreement between me and your father has come to an end. The agreement between me and Qingsheng is fulfilled", she said, then she looked at Gu Qingsheng, and the other party

He held her hand tightly and never let go.

"In that case, I respectfully send the imperial grandmother out of the palace," Zhou Chiyu bowed and said, "You are about to become emperor, I am just a commoner, so there is no need to be like this," Duan Ruohua said in a low voice, took two steps forward, and Zhou Chiyu When passing by, he stood still, turned his face slightly, and said to her,

"I promised your royal father that I will never ask about court affairs again. After leaving the palace tonight, I will live in seclusion with Qingsheng, and have nothing to do with you in the Zhou Dynasty or with you."

Since Duan Ruohua said such decisive words, she definitely didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Chiyu, and let her understand that Duan Ruohua would no longer support others to overthrow Zhou Chiyu's throne, so as to prevent Zhou Chiyu from being suspicious and taking precautions.

"It's a big Zhou's regret," Zhou Chiyu responded. Duan Ruohua glanced at her, his immature face was expressionless, and he softened his tone, "The Su family is loyal and has a good relationship with the Ning family. Mu Xue and you are The friendship of life and death",

"I implore you, for the Zhou Dynasty, for yourself, let the Su family survive",

Gu Qingsheng looked at Duan Ruohua in a daze. For Ning Zimu, she should have said these words of weakness. As the emperor's grandmother, Duan Ruohua lowered his figure and begged Zhou Chiyu.

Zhou Chiyu didn't speak, her eyes were dim and unclear. The matter of the Su family is of great importance. If it is not handled properly, her enthronement name will be wrong, and her words will not be smooth, and it will be difficult to calm down the world.

"The empress's ascension to the throne, setting a precedent in the Zhou Dynasty, will definitely attract controversy. It is not necessary to take the Su family's knife to eradicate dissidents," Duan Ruohua persuaded,

"My child will think about it, but this matter is so important that I can't deal with it right away. I hope the emperor's grandmother will understand." Zhou Chiyu said slowly, "Is it so difficult to let the Su family live? Zhou Chiyu! Your heart is too cold and heartless! ", Gu Qingsheng was a little anxious, and took two steps towards Zhou Chiyu,

Pat, a small stone shot from the roof and fell to Gu Qingsheng's feet, Huayi sat cross-legged on the eaves, looking down quietly,

"Hmph! You're a yellow-haired girl, you don't deserve to fight with me", Gu Qingsheng snorted coldly, with a flick of his sleeve, the stones on the ground shot towards the roof of the eaves, aggressively,

In the blink of an eye, she was already in front of Huayi, her face was pounding hard, Huayi had to turn around to avoid it, the stone penetrated her skirt and fell to the eaves, "There is movement! Protect Your Highness!", the people outside heard the sound, and immediately to rush in,

"Everyone back out! No one is allowed to come in without my palace's order!" Zhou Chiyu shouted loudly, telling everyone to back down,

"Why should Aunt Qing get angry with Xiaoyi? I said that I will carefully consider it, and I don't mean that I must kill the entire Su family," Zhou Chiyu said indifferently,

Gu Qingsheng wanted to argue with her again, but Duan Ruohua tugged at her robe sleeve and said, "Chi Yu will be able to distinguish which is more important, destroying the Su family will not only lose the hearts of the people, but also the Ning family will be lost." Her support hurts our relationship even more. With her careful consideration, she definitely won't do it, right?",

Zhou Chiyu knew that Duan Ruohua seemed to be talking to Gu Qingsheng, but in fact he was pressing every sentence, and chuckled, "The emperor's grandmother is right." Duan Ruohua glanced at her, "You are the smartest and proudest I have ever taught. My child, but remember what I told you, the past is easy to break. This is the end of the talk, no need to say more, let's go",

Gu Qingsheng stepped forward to follow Duan Ruohua, Yun Qing passed by Zhou Chiyu, looked at her indifferently, "Master", Zhou Chiyu nodded and said, Yun Qing didn't turn his head, just said, "I am not the emperor's apprentice, I just taught you You don't have to be called a master and a student for how many moves you have."

Zhou Chiyu stood on the spot, quietly watching the backs of the group of people leaving, Duan Ruohua, Gu Qingsheng, Yun Qing, Ning Zimu outside the palace...

There should be one less person...

At the beginning, she agreed with Gu Qingsheng to lead an elite team hidden in the Black Tiger Army with Duanruohua chips, and the vanguard was the invincible Ning Xiaobao wearing a ghost mask, and the chips she agreed with Ning Xiaobao, Yes, Su Muxue.

Oops!Zhou Chiyu's complexion changed, he lifted his skirt, and hurried out, "Show me back to Yudian! Hurry up!".
