Iron Armored Emperor

In the second year of Chuchu, spring.

The capital of Shuntian Prefecture, the Great Chu Palace.

Yan Fagulai refused to be a serious official in the Qin Tianjian. Gu Lie Nian needed time to calm down after he avenged his daughter, so he couldn't bear to force him, so he just let him hang around for more than a year.

But it is also impossible to really give him an official position in the Qin Tianjian, because any position in the Qin Tianjian is hereditary, and cannot be promoted, demoted, or transferred, so Yan Fagu hangs around in the Qin Tianjian every day, but he is still a three-no person .

Today, the sky is clear and the sun is shining.

Qin Tianjian is located at a high place with one of the best sunshine in the palace. At this time, the wind blows the curtain of Wangxing Typhoon, and there is a delicate fragrance from the imperial garden.

"Bullshit!"

Yan Fagu happily pushed the mahjong card, slapped the table and urged: "Give me money."

Di Qiye sighed and pushed two pieces of silver over.

The two Qintian Supervisors and Marquises were regarded as companions, and if they won, they would get money, but if they lost, they would not count. Moreover, on the poker table, one was an unnamed immediate boss, and the other was the well-known Ding Guohou, so they were silent.

Originally, Di Qiye came here to relax, but was caught by Yan Fagu and put on the poker table. He had already played five rounds, and Yan Fagu won all by himself. He got rid of his addiction to poker, so he felt a little embarrassed at this time.

Yan Fagu pulled Fuchen from the back of his neck, raised his head to signal to the two supervisors to do their own thing, and then asked Di Qiye with a smile: "What's wrong with Dingguohou, you look sad?"

Di Qiye raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yan Fagu, sighed and didn't speak.

Di Qiye was unhappy, but there was no way to explain his displeasure.

Shuzhou University didn't talk about it in advance, but just talked about private matters.

He and Gu Lie also complained about their feelings and talked about their love, but in the end, something went wrong in practice.

To be more specific, there is a dispute in the relationship between superiors and inferiors.

To be precise, the word dispute is not used correctly, the dispute is two-sided, between Di Qiye and Gu Lie, it is purely Di Qiye's dying struggle.

Gu Lie, an ancient man with little experience and lack of reference materials, unexpectedly learned to control the field without a teacher, and he also likes to bite_people. When did the extra ones come out? If they hadn't woken up in time, they would have been eaten to the bone by Gu Lie long ago.

The result always ends in sharpening the knife.

Back then, there was a saying in the Chu army that "ask the lord if you are undecided about foreign affairs, ask Jiang Yang if you are undecided about internal affairs, and ask Yan Fagu if you are undecided about sexual affairs." Proficient in miscellaneous studies, well-informed.

But Di Qiye couldn't ask Yan Fagu for advice.

Everyone in the world knows that the Marquis of Dingguo is deeply favored by his family. He not only conferred the crown prince and Taifu, but also gave him the East Palace.

However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the royal guards guarding the gates of the palace were all clear-eyed, Dingguohou did not live in the East Palace, he clearly slept in His Majesty's Weiyang Palace.

If Di Qiye asked Yan Fagu about this, it would be tantamount to asking himself.

So Di Qiye sighed and remained silent.

Yan Fagu understood at that time.

Think about it, Dingguo Hou, a young man, was left in Weiyang Palace every night by his workaholic majesty to read the booklets, who can bear it?

Yan Fagu took out a few pamphlets, handed them to Di Qiye mysteriously, and said in an inscrutable way: "One booklet is ten taels."

"Why don't you go grab it?" Di Qiye instantly dreamed back to the poker game where he was scammed by these people.

"Hey," Yan Fagu said with a face that you don't understand, "This is a fine product left by the poor for many years. I specially asked someone to find Wenshu Pavilion on South Street to reprint it with pine smoke ink. You can see it clearly. Look. If you have a good time, if you sell a book for ten taels, you will lose blood, but if you buy a book for twelve taels, you will make money in blood.”

Di Qiye suddenly understood what kind of booklet this was.

Di Qiye took a book and flipped through it, and said in amazement: "You are more housekeeping than Your Majesty, and you can really figure it out. Gu Lie is looking forward to you doing something serious every day. You don't get more salary than selling this powerful."

"If you don't buy it, you will come back."

"Buy, who says not to buy."

Di Qiye paid the bill readily, and Yan Fagu also provided after-sales service, packing it in an empty bookcase with the four books and five classics painted on the outside, seamless.

Di Qiye couldn't help laughing.

The business was done, Yan Fagu said cheekily: "I didn't see you Dingguo Hou doing a lot of serious business. Last month, you went to the court twenty times in total, didn't you? Poor Dao has all gone."

It's good not to mention Yan Fagu, but Di Qiye gets angry when he mentions it.

There is a shining tooth mark on his neck, even the robe can't cover it, can he go to court?

Moreover, which booklet was discussed in the early court, did he not read it in Weiyang Palace at night?

The problem came back again, and Di Qiye secretly suspected that Gu Lie had been gnawing at himself more and more recently, and the fundamental problem was that they had never actually fought with swords.

Di Qiye rolled his eyes, left a sentence, "What's the benefit of me going up to the court more, lest others won't join me?", and left with the box of booklets in his arms.

Yan Fagu couldn't help but sigh.

To say that Ding Guohou's current power is really amazing.

Among the five major clans of Chu Gu's family, the Jiang family who produced Jiang Yang, the prime minister, must be the most prominent. He only took the post of commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard.

Di Qiye's former five young men, apart from Zhong Tai who went back to Jingzhou to get married and stayed in Yunmengze to lead the original Di Qiye's elite soldiers, the other four, including Mu Lian, are forces that cannot be ignored in the court.

As for Jiang Yan, who had spread rumors all over the capital with Mu Lian, as an outcast of the Jiang family, he is now the commander of the Jinyi Guards.Jinyi Guards is a combination of Chu Army Guards and Chu Army Secret Agents. It is a sharp knife in the hands of His Majesty. Being able to serve as a commander fully demonstrates how much the Great Chu Emperor trusts him.

Therefore, over the past year or so, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have understood that Dingguohou cannot be counted on the side of military commanders or heroes. He is an authentic imperial party.

Those who were going to watch Di Qiye's joke before began to worry that they would become a joke—the biggest hero has become the imperial party, and if His Majesty wants to use the hero's power, won't he have to go down the knife?

Therefore, Marquis Dingguo has amazing power, but he is still the target of public criticism in the court, and he is often picked on by others.

After all, Yan Fagu and Jiang Yang watched Di Qiye go all the way, and Di Qiye's attitude towards people, whether he was a country boy when he first voted in Chu, or a Dingguohou who is under one person now, is fundamentally different. It hasn't changed, which is rare.

Besides, Di Qiye clearly had one heart with His Majesty, how could Yan Fagu and Jiang Yang feel that there was something wrong with Di Qiye, Mou Zujin was biased, and sometimes when they saw Di Qiye angry, they would tease him from time to time.

The two of them have a preference for Di Qiye, and Gu Lie is happy to see it succeed.

Moreover, it is not just the courtiers who are partial to Di Qiye.

Di Qiye carried a bookcase between his hands and walked towards the harem. Along the way, the guards guarding the palace in brocade uniforms saluted the prince of Ding. They all felt very good, knowing that this was not only the prince of Ding, but also their immediate boss. Even if you don't know exactly how this master shouted, it is definitely right to respect the old man Ding Guohou.

Passing by the East Palace, Di Qiye thought about his duty and went to see Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao is studying national policy with his husband.

This gentleman was recruited by Gu Lie from Guozijian. He is good at state policy and current affairs. His surname is Zhu and his name is Shilin.

He was able to teach Gu Zhao because of his personal talent on the one hand and his strong background on the other.He is the eldest son of Zhu's family, and the old man Zhu is his father.

In terms of relationship, Zhu Beihe can be regarded as a collateral branch of the sudden emergence, not so close.But Di Qiyeyuan's Leopard Riding School Supervisor Zhuang Zui is his own nephew.

Gu Lie added this class to Gu Zhaoxin, partly for training, partly because Da Chu is about to hold the first Spring Festival, when talents from all over the world will gather in the capital, Gu Lie intends to let Gu Zhao go out to see the world.

Marquis Dingguo walked into the study of the Eastern Palace, nodded to Zhu Shilin, and stopped them with his hands, preventing them from saluting.Gu Zhao refused to be rude, and continued to listen to the class after saluting.

Di Qiye listened for a while, sometimes raised his eyebrows, sometimes nodded slightly, and left again without waiting for class.

After class, Zhu Shilin summarized what Gu Zhao had learned today, and then tentatively said with a smile: "Marquis Dingguo cares for His Highness very much."

Gu Zhaoping said flatly: "It is true."

"His Highness also respects Ding Guohou very much."

Gu Zhaoping said flatly: "It should be like this."

Zhu Shilin couldn't see that Gu Zhao was happy and angry, and went further: "I don't know what your Highness thinks of Marquis Ding Guo?"

Gu Zhao glanced at him.

Zhu Shilin is also a person who has met the saints. Gu Zhao is young, but he looks like Gu Lie at this glance. He is so indescribably powerful that Zhu Shilin immediately bowed his head.

"As a junior, you should not speak of your elders; as a prince, you should not speak of your pillars. Sir, you are overstepping." Gu Zhao replied calmly.

However, Zhu Shilin is a smart person after all, and immediately understood Gu Zhao's unexpressed displeasure, and made up in time: "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"The minister's nephew is the former subordinate of Marquis Dingguo. According to him, Marquis Dingguo is really a man of amazing talent. Therefore, I have always been curious about Marquis Dingguo and was rude for a while. It is my fault."

Gu Zhao hummed, and didn't say that he accepted the rhetoric, nor did he not accept it, and instead brought up the business related to Chunwei.

Zhu Shilin sweated in his heart, once again feeling that this little Highness is really not to be underestimated.

And Ding Guohou's influence on His Royal Highness cannot be underestimated.

It was rare for Gu Lie to finish the government affairs early. Thinking of Di Qiye mocking him for not taking a break, he went back to the apse for the first time when it was still dawn, and told the imperial dining room to be the favorite food of Marquis Ding. have a meal.

In the end, he waited and waited until Di Qiye came back with a bookcase under his arm.

"what is this?"

Di Qiye knocked on the book case and said: "Yan Fagu couldn't live on anymore, he was selling Fengyue blatantly, God is sorry, I just bought a few copies. You should quickly find something serious for him to do, otherwise, I think he wants to Free to ask questions."

Selling Fengyue?

Gu Lie flipped through a book and commented: "That's all."

"That's what you said, it sounds like you've read a lot too?" Di Qiye raised his eyebrows.

"I'm wronged, I only read serious books," Gu Lie said solemnly, "What I mean is that I don't read as well as you."

Di Qiye rolled his eyes at him.

I will pour ecstasy soup all day long.

"Thanks for the prize." Di Qiye glanced at the Kanyu station, which had not been used for a long time, and pretended to be careless, "Actually, I look better when I fight, do you want to see it?"
