Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

"Is that right?"

Looking into Yu Qi's clear eyes, Guo Heng suddenly gained confidence.yes!Even if Adela persuaded Kong Qingshu and his son, whether they would be loyal, whether they would follow and assist her for a long time, wouldn't it depend on her own ability?

In this regard, he certainly has confidence.

Guo Heng's mood improved, and he remembered his main purpose of coming.

He took out a stack of papers from his pocket and put them on the table.

"Yu Qi, these are the names, titles, achievements, family background, reasons for promotion, personalities, marriages, etc. of thousands of officials in the Daliang Kingdom. Take it back and look at it first. If you understand, you can ask me later.”

I didn't expect Guo Heng to move so fast, maybe he was already prepared.It's just that he has prepared in such detail, what does he want to do?

He simply asked the question, "Your Majesty, didn't you just start preparing for it in the past few days?"

Guo Heng smiled and said: "That's right. Guard Yu is really smart. I won't hide it from you. I started preparing this list of officials at the beginning of this year. The main purpose is to select those who are not from the strict government camp but have the ability. Officials are too Many, this work is very difficult. Fortunately, it was all completed just a few days ago."

Xu Chengze picked up a page and took a cursory look at it. He saw neat regular script.

He raised his head in surprise, "Your Majesty, is this your handwriting?"

Guo Heng was even more surprised, "You can actually recognize my handwriting?"

Xu Chengze realized that he couldn't help but expose himself again.

He lowered his eyes and said, "I am fortunate to have seen the emperor's pen and ink."

I seldom write lowercase in recent years, how could he see it?Guo Heng didn't believe his nonsense for a long time, but he didn't point it out.He just said: "I just wrote the first few pages, and I was thinking about it. The rest were all copied by Qingping. Guard Yu, these materials are the secrets of Daliang Kingdom, you should keep them safe."

"Understandable."

Even if Guo Heng didn't say anything, Xu Chengze knew the importance of this information to Daliang.

No wonder Kong Qing usually enters the palace from time to time, I'm afraid visiting Old Concubine Yi is just a cover, the purpose is to help Guo Heng complete this document.Perhaps, without their own lobbying, their father and son would also enter the court, and their rhetoric just made them make a faster decision.

In any case, it is a good thing that they can enter the court to help Guo Heng.

Xu Chengze carefully folded the paper and put it in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I will live up to my entrustment in my humble position."

Guo Heng looked at his cautious and careful appearance, and his heart moved.

"Guard Yu, what kind of person is the person you like?"

"Well……,'

Xu Chengze didn't expect Guo Heng to ask this, he raised his head in a daze.

The corners of Guo Heng's mouth couldn't help but curl up, "I'm just curious."

Xu Chengze glanced at Guo Heng and thought, in fact, that person is you!He is handsome in appearance and tough in heart, but what makes his heart move more is that rare tenderness, whether it is to the common people or those around him.

He still had many words to praise Guo Heng, but he only used one word.

"He was a gentle man."

"gentle?"

Guo Heng clearly saw the softness in Yu Qi's eyes, and became more curious about the person he liked.

"Are you together?"

Xu Chengze shook his head.

"Why are you not together?"

"Your Majesty, the person I like is like the bright moon in the sky. She is noble and noble. I don't deserve him, and I don't have extravagant expectations. I just want to be with him."

Guo Heng took a deep breath, he didn't expect him to love so deeply.

"Are you willing? She will marry sooner or later. At that time, you may not be able to accompany her if you want to."

Xu Chengze laughed, "The emperor is right, that's why I cherish the days around him even more. I try my best to treat him every day. When I leave him one day, I won't regret it."

Guo Heng watched the dimples on his cheeks flash by, and something flashed by in his mind, but he didn't catch it.

He sighed: "The guard Yu is an infatuated person!"

The emperor ordered Concubine Ning Guifei to be confined for a month, and he never came to Ninghe Palace again.Xu Chengze is used to life in the cold palace, he reads and writes every day, and studies the materials Guo Heng gave him, but he doesn't feel any discomfort.And he can see Guo Heng at night, and he doesn't think he misses him much.

What reassures him even more is that Yu Qiuyuan came to see him on the second night after he returned to the palace.

Although Yu Qiuyuan's whereabouts are uncertain, when he wants to see him, he can always arrive in time.

Hearing what Xu Chengze asked him to do, he snorted coldly, "Xiao Ze, are you really determined to help that emperor?" Xu Chengze nodded firmly.

"Brother, only the emperor can reverse the Xu family's case and avenge the second brother!"

Yu Qiuyuan sighed, "Okay, I'll help you!"

With Yu Qiuyuan's promise, Xu Chengze felt that what he wanted to do would definitely succeed!

Day by day, the weather is getting colder day by day, but the autumn air is crisp and the sun is shining brightly.

This day Xu Chengze sat at the table for an hour, then walked to the window and stood for a while.

The sun was just right, coming in through the half-open window, and it was warm on the body.

As soon as he stood still by the window, he heard Alian say angrily: "Yina, the people in this palace are really snobbish. When our princess was favored before, when the eunuchs and nuns in charge saw me, which one didn't go up?" Hurrying to curry favor, I have everything I want. Now that the emperor doesn't come to Ninghe Palace very often, they just ignore people coldly, it's really faster to turn your face than to turn a book!"

Yi Na's voice was still cold and unwavering, "What do you care about them? Didn't they give you what you wanted?"

A-Lian snorted coldly, "Do they dare not give it to me? Last time a eunuch made things difficult for me, just happened to meet Eunuch Shuiyun to get something, and he helped me out. Look at those eunuchs again, hehe, really..."

"I didn't expect Shuiyun to be a sensible person."

"Yes! The emperor hasn't come to Ninghe Palace for so long, but he still takes care of us as before."

Xu Chengze also admitted that Shuiyun did have some tricks, otherwise how could he get the position of chief executive?

Guo Heng didn't come to Ninghe Palace, Xu Chengze knew the reason.One is because he lied to him, and he was unwilling.More importantly, there are too many court affairs recently, and Guo Heng can't take care of them at all.

When Kong Qingshu and his son entered the court, their positions were equal to those of Yan's father and son, and their seniority was also the same.It's really a match for Yan Zheng

What they did was even better than what Guo Heng and Xu Chengze expected.Above the court, as long as it is powerful to the strict government, they will all oppose it, and as long as it is beneficial to the emperor, they will support it.

Yan Zheng was naturally dissatisfied, but his knowledge was inferior to that of Kong Qingshu who had been keeping a low profile at home for nearly 20 years, and Yan Chengcai was even more incomparable with Kong Qingping. useless

Kong Qingping is young, fledgling, and has a sharp tongue, which often makes the strict government and the party leaders speechless.

Yan's party has a large number of powerful people, but Kong Qingshu is not in a hurry, he carefully distinguishes the people in the court, and wins over those courtiers who disdain the strict government and want to be the leader.

There are Kong Qingshu and Kong Qingping in the open, and Xu Chengze's analysis of the courtiers in the dark. Guo Heng promoted several officials who were not strict party officials.They are all placed in less eye-catching but more important positions.

Guo Yixing never came to Ninghe Palace again, Xu Chengze would still see him at night, but Xu Chengze still felt a little sad.

He couldn't help guessing, which concubine did Guo Heng stay at every night?Is he also so gentle with them?The queen's case was quickly closed.The person who prescribes the medicine is Caiyue, a court lady next to the queen. She has served the queen since she was a child.After Caiyue pleaded guilty, she committed suicide in fear of guilt.

The clan's government believed that Caiyue died and the queen was innocent.

Because she was not the empress' envoy, and because the empress dowager and the grand master pleaded for mercy, Guo Heng could only accuse her of being lax and imprison her for a month, and the palace affairs were temporarily assisted by Concubine Lin Xian.

And today, it was time for the empress to lift the ban.During her confinement, did the emperor not visit her?

Thinking of this, Xu Chengze suddenly woke up, why did he look like a woman?You are a man, there is no result between you and Guo Heng!Xu Chengze kept admonishing himself, but his heart was still sore and uncomfortable.

Xu Chengze clenched his fists tightly, holding back the heat in his eyes.

He had to admit that even if he could see Guo Heng every day at night, he still missed him, especially his embrace with a hint of ambergris.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the courtyard, and a eunuch sang loudly: "The empress's imperial edict is here!"

Xu Chengze hurried out and knelt down to receive the order.

"The Queen's Majesty ordered that tomorrow will be the Ninth Ninth Chongyang Festival and the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. All the concubines in the Harem will enter the Palace of Compassion and Ning to celebrate their birthdays, and a banquet will be held in the Ronghua Palace in the evening. Hereby."

"Chen and concubine lead the order."

Xu Chengze got up to accept the imperial edict, thinking, it is really a coincidence that the empress lifted the ban today, and tomorrow is the empress dowager's birthday.To be honest, he had to go even without the queen's will.And the empress's decree is more to show her status as empress!

The eunuch passing the decree left, A-Lian said: "The queen mother's birthday banquet! Princess, should we give a birthday present?"

"Uh...it seems like it should be sent."

A-Lian frowned, "What should I give?"

Xu Chengze also had a headache.

He doesn't have his natal family here, and he doesn't have a dime at all except for the special silver issued by the palace.What he can take out now is the clothes and jewelry he wore when he entered the palace, nothing else.Although the emperor came here from time to time, sometimes he would bring some things, but they were all small things, and there was really no valuable reward.

A few pieces of his jewellery, if taken out to the palace, can be sold for a few dollars, but they are not qualified to be given to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift.

Yi Na also thought of this, and said in a cold voice: "Isn't there a saying in Daliang Kingdom? Courtesy is light and affection is heavy. Princess, it's your heart's desire to go. What else do you need to give?"

"That's right! Princess, servant girl, the queen made this decree just to see your jokes?"
