Iron Armored Emperor

According to Gu Zhao's description to Rong Sui when he went back, Miss Zhu's family is simply a fairy, and her appearance and bearing are not worthy of ordinary people.

Rong Sui thought that it was probably love at first sight, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

However, to be able to fall in love at first sight with the looks of His Majesty and Ding Guohou for many years, Miss Zhu's family must also have a good appearance.

In particular, Zhuang Zui secretly searched for information. Miss Zhu Jia not only looks good, but also has a good heart. I heard that she is also very talented and learned. In short, there is nothing wrong with it.

There is only one thing, and that is that Miss Zhu's family has been weak since she was a child. Although she is not sickly, she is indeed not as healthy as ordinary women.

Therefore, the Zhu family and his wife are very fond of this little daughter. Zhu Yanhu has two older brothers. The elder brother grew up with his grandmother. Brother Zhu Hanjiang works in the Ministry of Industry, he is quite favored by His Majesty, and he loves his little sister very much.

Rong Sui encouraged Gu Zhao: "Master, if you are sure, let your Majesty propose marriage immediately."

However, Gu Zhao fell deeply into self-torture.

Gu Zhao asked Rong Sui very seriously: "You said, I fell in love with Ms. Zhu's family at a glance. Is it because I don't respect Ms. Zhu's family? Is this considered lust?"

Rong Sui was dumbfounded.

Why does the Gu family man worry about being a father when he touches feelings?

Rong Sui cleared his throat exaggeratedly, and reminded in a low voice: "Master, when your father saw your mother back then, he gave someone a peach."

It's okay, your dad did the same back then.

Gu Zhao felt relieved.

Gu Zhao thoroughly investigated the relationship between the Right Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the contacts between the Yan family and the Zuo family, and went to the palace to report to Gu Lie.

The hands and feet of Zuo Chenglan, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, have been exposed since the case of Yuan Fei when Di Qiye made his southern tour, but he thought that the Zuo family was justified, and his family relative Zuo Lang went to defend the border for the country. , was fascinated by Gu Lie's benevolent appearance in recent years, thinking that Gu Lie would not go into this little trick.

As for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Xi, he is slick, and no one wants to offend him. He turned a blind eye to Zuo Chenglan's actions. Lan dragged himself into the water, even if he regretted it, there was no room for him to regret it. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the officialdom.

The Yan family and the Zuo family, in the final analysis, are all about power and money. They are close to each other, but they don't have much reason to do so.

Gu Lie listened carefully, pointing out a thing or two from time to time, and was not surprised by what Gu Zhao found out.

This made Gu Zhao admire his father even more from the bottom of his heart, as if all the threads in the court were all held in his father's hands, should be tightened or loosened, his father was very clear in his heart, even if he made a mistake The threads are all in his father's plan.

"In your opinion," Gu Lie was determined to take the exam, "what should I do next?"

The doubts and evidence that Gu Zhao found out with Zhuang Zui, after all, there is no clear path, not a serious process.

Gu Lie asked the two of them to investigate first, first to make Gu Zhao and Zhuang Zui, who was bound to take over as the commander of Jinyi Guards within two or three years, to get acquainted, and second, to test Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao saluted and answered seriously: "These doubts found should be handed over to Yushitai by Deputy Commander Zhuang. It should be tried jointly by Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the important case should be dealt with severely, so as to make an example of others."

"Ah."

That's what it means to be more satisfied.

Gu Zhao's heart relaxed, and he heard his father ask again: "Then according to your thoughts, how will you deal with it in the end?"

Gu Zhao bowed again, and replied: "Chen Po was demoted to the local area; Zuo Chenglan seized the official and dismissed; appeased Zuo Lang, beat Zuo's family; and Yan's family, stood still."

Gu Lie nodded slightly, and did not hesitate to praise: "Very good."

"Thank you, Father."

Gu Zhao was delighted.

Then I heard Gu Lie ask with a smile: "I heard that Yao'er has finally blossomed the cycad tree?"

This made Gu Zhao, who was trying to be calm in front of his father, blush.

Gu Lie also teased him: "How about Miss Zhu's family?"

When the father asked about the person he liked, Gu Zhao calmed down and answered simply: "Orchids grow in empty valleys, and the moon shoots cold rivers."

These eight short words are not only a compliment to Yanhu Lake for its ice-clean appearance, but also a compliment for its elegance and virtue.

This made Gu Lie a little surprised: "Zhao'er praises her so highly, this girl must be extraordinary."

Gu Zhao had already made up his mind, and begged along with the situation: "My father, please be the master."

Unexpectedly, if Gu Zhao didn't move his heart, his soul would be moved as soon as he moved his heart. This was not only his heart, but also the meaning of begging Gu Lie to propose marriage to Zhu Beihe.

Gu Lie couldn't help raising his eyebrows like his own general, and said, "I understand what you mean. I will consider it carefully."

This means not opposing consideration.

His father never acted recklessly, and Gu Zhao didn't expect anything to happen just by mentioning it, and he always respected Gu Lie's wishes. Gu Lie's willingness to think about it was already the goal Gu Zhao wanted to achieve this trip, so Gu Zhao was very calm, Said: "Thank you, father."

Gu Lie asked him to back down.

As soon as Gu Zhao left, Zhu Yanhu's records were placed on Gu Lie's desk.

This girl from the Zhu family is indeed good at everything, but one thing is that she is weak and needs to be pampered patiently, which is why the Zhu family has not proposed marriage to her daughter for so long.

For ordinary people, if they marry, they must not live comfortably in their natal family.And marrying into a wealthy family, although you don't have to worry about supplements and soups, but there are many rules and fights, and it is easier to rub your daughter.What's more, even if the husband's family treats their daughter as if they were their own, once they marry, they will have to live through the hell of having a child.

Therefore, the Zhu family couple, who are upright and well-behaved, dote on this young girl so much that they don't care about marrying a big girl, and they wish they could stay at home and raise them.

Gu Lie was also a little hesitant.

Gu Lie knew that Gu Zhao's treatment of feelings meant that he compared himself with Di Qiye, seeing how Gu Zhao fell in love with Miss Zhu's family at first sight, he was probably really an infatuated kind.

In case the girl from Zhu's family has a short lifespan, Gu Zhaoke will have to experience a calamity of love.

Gu Lie recalled that a few days ago, Rong Sui went back to Beijing first, and vividly described to himself Di Qiye's demeanor on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.

When Rong Sui talked about the wonderful part, he danced and danced, wishing to go and kill the enemy with Di Qiye again.Especially in the section where Di Qiye was deliberately under siege, Rong Sui spoke wonderfully, and Gu Lie's heart ached with each stab.

After hearing Rong Sui's words, Gu Lie's palms were covered with sweat.

At that moment, Gu Lie really thought of locking him in Weiyang Palace completely.

However, Di Qiye has not set foot on the battlefield for ten years, why?It's not because of him, Gu Lie.

Di Qiye made such a compromise for him, he couldn't be too constrained by Di Qiye.And Gu Lie was unwilling to argue with Di Qiye.Besides, it's useless to fight.

But Gu Lie asked himself, if Di Qiye went out for another two or three years and came back again, would he be able to bear it in his heart?

No way.

He was already 44. If Di Qiye had a good or bad thing, it would be the loss of his wife in middle age.

So Gu Lie had to find a way to let Di Qiye figure it out for himself.

Di Qiye went to Lan Mansion and returned the Jingxuehongmeiyu cup.

Mr. Lan was determined not to accept it.

Di Qiye said: "My heart, I appreciate it. But my surname is not Lan after all."

"Since this jade cup is a family heirloom of the Lan family, it should continue to be passed down in the Lan family."

Seeing that Mr. Lan's face was loose, Di Qiye added: "This jade cup is in my hand, and it will eventually fill the treasury."

Di Qiye just wanted to explain more intuitively that the inheritance was broken, but Mr. Lan and Lan Yanzhi both showed sadness when they thought that Di Qiye was trapped in the deep palace and could not even have a wife and children, but it was related to His Majesty. Can't even say sad words.

Di Qiye thought they finally understood what he meant, so he breathed a sigh of relief and put down the brocade box containing the jade cup.

"Since Marquis Dingguo insists on repaying the gift," Old Master Lan restrained his desolation and forced a smile, "Then, as compensation, after Marquis Dingguo, try to come to the mansion as often as possible, the old man is half buried in the loess, I’m afraid I won’t see you many times.”

This sounded ominous, but Lan Yanzhi did not stop him. Di Qiye immediately understood that Lan Yanzhi was in a hurry to bring his grandfather to the capital, perhaps because Mr. Lan was really in poor health.

"This," Di Qiye couldn't refuse after all, "he should obey his orders."

After finally getting out of Lan Mansion, Di Qiye met Jiang Yan on the street.

Jiang Yan is still the Commander of Jinyi Guards, but he has already pleaded with His Majesty. In two or three years, when Zhuang Zui takes over, he will be able to retire and take a free post in the capital to concentrate on taking care of Mu Lian.

It's not that something went wrong with Mu Lian, but on the one hand, Mu Lian, the imperial historian, is really too busy, and on the other hand, Mu Lian is not as healthy as ordinary people after all.

Jiang Yan is considerate and willing to take a part-time job home to take care of his wife.

Speaking to Di Qiye, Jiang Yan was very proud, and joked: "Master, my son-in-law is 12 points competent."

First, Mr. Lan said that his life was not long, and then Jiang Yan planned to retire and go home to raise a wife. When he returned to Weiyang Palace, Di Qiye was about to say a few words of emotion to Gu Lie, when he heard Gu Lie say: "Tomorrow, go for me." Zhu Mansion visited Beihe, he has been in poor health for the past few years. Before going, he went to the imperial hospital and brought Beihe the prescriptions and medicines prescribed by Master Zhang."

One after another, how could it be such a coincidence, Di Qiye wondered to Gu Lie: "Why are these people suddenly getting old, or planning what to do when they get old?"

Gu Lie asked him: "Does Marquis Dingguo have a plan?"

Di Qiye said casually, "I'm not old."

Gu Lie rubbed his forehead, and said in an inaudible tone: "But I'm old."

Di Qiye smiled: "You're not that old, you're only 44, okay?"

Seeing him rubbing his forehead, Di Qiye sat down next to him, took his hand away, and rubbed it with his own hand, worriedly asked: "Are you having a headache?"

Gu Lie smiled: "It's just a little tired."

Di Qiye gently massaged him with his hands, but he still couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I think so much all day long, if you don't get tired, whoever is tired."

Gu Lie closed his eyes and didn't speak.
