Chapter 464: Ugly Face
When Fusheng walked out of the Tai'an Palace, he saw Zhou Gao kneeling under the sun with his wife, perhaps because he had been kneeling for a long time, so his face looked weak and pale at the moment, but he could match his sad words about the sudden loss of his beloved daughter.
If you don't know what kind of temperament Zhou Gao is, you may really be blinded by his performance at the moment, but Fusheng is an old man who has served Emperor Showa for many years, and he has dealt with all kinds of demons and monsters; This week's family is not really a big family in the capital at all, and the reason why they can have some power and face in Beijing now is that one of them relies on the favor and connections accumulated by the previous heads of the family, and the other is that there is a favorite concubine in the family.
It's just that others don't know, don't Fusheng know yet?
Whether Zhou Yanran is really favored in the palace, or a chess piece in the hands of Emperor Showa, no one knows better than him, now that this chess piece is dead, the Zhou family will naturally not be taken to heart by Emperor Showa; Look, Emperor Showa heard that Zhou Gao was coming, but he didn't even see him, which shows his indifference to the Zhou family.
Thinking of this, the corners of Fusheng's mouth pursed a light smile that was not salty, and he slowly walked in the direction where Zhou Gao was kneeling.
Zhou Gao pulled Huang to kneel under the sun for almost an hour, his legs and knees were firmly attached to the hard bricks, and the numb pain rushed into his brain one by one, if it wasn't for an unwilling perseverance to support him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to bear it a long time ago.
Just when Zhou Gao was more anxious and anxious and anxious the more he waited, he heard slow footsteps not far away, and when he raised his head, a surprised smile immediately bloomed on his pale face, and a pair of eyes lit up; He knew that the emperor had some feelings for Yan'er, and he had already inquired when he entered the palace, and when the emperor heard that Yan'er was killed, he was so heartbroken that he fainted.
Such strong feelings are unforgettable; As a member of the Zhou family, appearing in front of the emperor at this moment, without looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, the emperor will also give a lot of benefits for appeasing them; Thinking of his daughter who died suddenly, to be honest, Zhou Gao is still distressed, after all, it's his own child, isn't it?
However, after the distress, he quickly calmed down, he knew very well what the Zhou family relied on to have today's status in the capital, and now he didn't even have Yan'er, and it would be a little difficult for him to continue to mix in the capital in the future; Thinking of the days when the Zhou family followed the rising tide since Yan'er became a concubine, Zhou Gao was reluctant to let go.
That's why he made such a play today, in order to hope that the emperor could look at Yan'er's face and continue to take care of their Zhou family; After all, people who are used to living a good life suddenly let them fall from the clouds, and not everyone can withstand this kind of gap.
Mr. Fu is the most favored chamberlain around the Son of Heaven, and now that he saw Mr. Fu appear, Zhou Gao felt as if he had seen countless glory and wealth coming towards him; Thinking that when he met the Son of Heaven later, as long as he showed the appearance of losing his beloved daughter, he would definitely be able to get the mercy of the Son of Heaven, and then he would wait to receive the Son of Heaven's reassuring grace.
Zhou Gao's calculations in his heart became louder and louder, and even his pale face was gradually dyed with a touch of red because of his excitement, hearing Zhou Gao who was panting with excitement next to him, Huang only felt extremely ashamed, she really felt that she was blind, how could she marry such a mercenary husband when she was young; But what's even more tragic is that for the sake of her child, she still has to cling to him, knowing that this person is comparable to a beast.
This is the sorrow of a woman, in the face of fate, she will always be the first to bow her head.
Zhou Gao saw Manager Fu walk in, and immediately stood up with his weak legs, and asked with his eyes shining: "Manager Fu, is it summoned by the emperor?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Gao wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "I also suddenly heard bad news in the house, the concubine Niangniang is such a kind person, why was she killed?" And the person who killed Niangniang is still Chu Shizi, Manager Fu, tell me, is it that the people who have a good heart in this world are destined to be wronged and die young? ”
As long as Fusheng's fiery eyes look at it, the demons and monsters can appear in his heart; Looking at Zhou Gao's coquettish appearance now, he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart; No wonder His Majesty is reluctant to see him, so disgusting, even he is a little unbearable to watch.
Fusheng shook the dust in his hand gently, looked at Zhou Gao's eyes full of expectation, and asked without answering: "Lord Zhou, can you go to the Quewei Palace to see the remains of the noble concubine?" ”
Looking at the remains?
Zhou Gao didn't expect that this Fu Manager would ask him such a question first, so he stammered a little on the spot, and replied with flashing eyes: "I heard that the emperor fainted because he couldn't bear to lose his concubine, so he hurried over, and it was a big problem to see the emperor's body first." ”
"What the lord means is that after the adult enters the palace, he will not have time to see the remains of the concubine."
"Yes, yes, after all, the emperor's body is the most important thing, if Yan'er has a spirit in the sky, she will also agree to me enter the palace to visit the emperor first." Speaking of the last sentence, Zhou Gao continued to pretend to wipe the corners of his eyes, as if he really squeezed out a few tears from the corners of his eyes.
Looking at Zhou Gao's movements, the smile on Fusheng's face became deeper and deeper: "Since Lord Zhou is here to visit His Majesty's body, why is he holding the blood book in his hand?" The blood book is so filthy, even if you are a person with status and knowledge, Your Majesty's body is now recuperating, and you are holding this kind of thing to meet Your Majesty, aren't you rushing against Your Majesty? ”
Fusheng's words were not light or heavy, but they made Zhou Gao's face suddenly turn snow-white, and he understood in an instant what he had done to commit a taboo, and his legs trembled on the spot, almost unable to support it.
He brought this blood book today, obviously he wanted to make a show, but he didn't expect to be ruthless, and he lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot.
Looking at Zhou Gao's frightened two trembling looks, Fusheng didn't even want to take a second look, but instead set his eyes on the Huang family standing beside Zhou Gao.
He had heard that the Huang family had not been doing well in the Zhou family recently, but he didn't expect that he would enter the palace with Zhou Gao today; The inquiring gaze looked down Huang's pale face, but finally found that Huang's two hands resting in front of him seemed to be injured; Fusheng subconsciously thought of something, looked at the blood book in Zhou Gao's hand, and saw that Zhou Gao's two hands were clean, not even a little blood stain and bandage, and in an instant, everything was understood.
It turned out that this Zhou Gao was really despicable and shameless, he wanted to make a show and was afraid of pain, so he actually asked his wife to cut his finger and write a blood book, and then he sold it again and appeared in front of Tai'an Palace with a blood book; This cunning is simply despicable.
Looking at the despicable villain in front of him, Fusheng really felt that he couldn't get along with himself by looking at him more, but considering Emperor Showa's instructions to him, he also had to look at Zhou Gao again, but there was not even the last trace of politeness in his faint tone.
"Lord Zhou, for the sake of you and me, the miscellaneous family is here to give you a piece of advice, everything must be accepted as soon as it is good; The corpse of the concubine is not cold, you make such a movement at this time, spread it, and it is not the people of your Zhou family who are lost, but the face of the heavenly family; Your Majesty is now old, and the last thing you like to see is someone playing some tricks in front of him, tossing some things, Your Majesty often says that he likes smart people, but if some people rely on their own intelligence to do something unpleasant, lose the emperor's heart, then it will be more than worth the loss. ”
Zhou Gao has been immersed in officialdom for so long, and he has not learned his great skills, but he has learned a thorough understanding of the way of officials; Now that he heard Mr. Fu say such things, if he didn't understand it, then he would really live such an old age in vain.
I thought that entering the palace would be able to ask for another wealth for the Zhou family, but I didn't expect that the current wealth was not sought, and it was disliked by the Son of Heaven; In an instant, Zhou Gao finally realized what it means to be a companion like a tiger, and his heart trembled.
"Mr. Fu, you are the person who can speak next to the Son of Heaven, I understand what you say; However, what should I do next to regain the emperor's heart? Please also be able to teach and teach! ”
Looking at Zhou Gao, who didn't care about his daughter's life and death at all and only thought about a rich life, Fusheng really didn't like it to the extreme.
This kind of person is simply a vain parent.
Fusheng's cool gaze glanced at the Huang family on the side a few more times, looked at Zhou Gao with a shrewd face, and said: "The miscellaneous family has served in front of the Son of Heaven for so many years, and they have somehow figured out some of Your Majesty's temperament. Over the years, the Zhou family has been in the limelight in the capital, and the wealth of the sky has also been enjoyed, and now the concubine has just passed away, as the closest relative to the concubine Niangniang, what should the Zhou family do, Lord Zhou should understand; Your Majesty is a person who misses the old love, if the adults keep to themselves, Your Majesty will naturally remember the feelings with the mother; But if the next time an adult makes an irrational move like today, I am afraid that you will not get what you want in this life. ”
Zhou Gao felt that the eunuch in front of him seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and he actually knew all the calculations in his heart.
On the spot, he sneered with an ugly face, hurriedly responded, and then took the Huang family beside him, and after saluting to Tai'an Palace, he retired.
It's just that Zhou Gao has enjoyed a lot of rich life over the years, and suddenly encountered a big change, and his mentality has not been corrected for a while.
When I entered the palace today, not only did I not see Emperor Showa, but also there was no eunuch in disguise, so when I left, my face was almost as ugly as I looked.
