Song Chongjin had made it roughly clear in his letter why he still wanted to stay in Chicheng County, and his plan to open a trade road on the grassland.

After so many years of hostility between the two countries, no one has ever dared to propose this.

Unexpectedly, it was Song Chongjin, a young man, who brought it up.

Even though Gu Changqing knew that Song Chongjin had his own selfish intentions in opening the trade road, he couldn't help but be moved when he looked at the benefits of opening the trade road he listed in the letter.

After a while, I couldn't help but smile and sigh, I was getting old! Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and today's young people are amazing!

He was still happy in his heart, and from the letters, he could see Song Chongjin's vision and quality.

The three-year decentralization of Chicheng County can really train people!

Thinking about Gu Zikai again, in the same period of Jinshi, now the top three are still in the Hanlin Academy, although he is by the side of the Son of Heaven, he is extremely noble, but when it comes to this vision, this heart and wrist are far inferior.

If this thing can really be done, I am afraid that Song Chongjin will soon become a hot upstart in the court.

Gu Changqing couldn't help but start wondering whether he should let Gu Zikai also go to the vicinity of Chicheng County, and follow the experience for a few years, and his resume in the future will also be extremely glorious.

Just after this thought, I heard Gu Chang suddenly splash a scoop of cold water.

"Big brother, is the imperial concubine in the palace pregnant?"

Gu Changqing raised his head vigilantly and looked at Gu Changqing: "What are you asking for?" How about the harem, how can our ministers get their hands on it? ”

Gu Changqing didn't speak yet, Gu Changqing immediately realized something: "No, it's Yongzhu's side, but it's involved in the palace?" ”

Gu Chang told Gu Changqing about the news that Li Jiu Shao had brought with him, and he didn't hide it.

Gu Changqing's face immediately became solemn, he knew that Yongzhu's business with the kid of the Li family was quite involved with the former concubine in the palace and the current imperial concubine.

But there was a boy from the Li family in the middle, so he didn't care too much.

It's just that now in the court, the princes are gradually growing up, but the emperor is still in his prime, especially after the princes enter the court, the atmosphere in the court has begun to change slowly.

Especially the older princes, who have only been in the court for a few years, have already tried their best to win people's hearts.

The identity of their princes is the best signboard, and now there are many small officials or young officials who pin their dreams of soaring on these princes, and they choose the team to stand in a hurry.

And they, the old foxes, were unmoved!

Now as soon as I heard what Gu Chang said, I immediately saw the strangeness behind this, and asked a few more questions.

Before Gu Changqing came back, he got the signals of Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin, if Gu Changqing asked, there was no need to hide it.

The more Gu Changqing listened, the more solemn his expression became.

In the end, knowing that Wang Yongzhu had asked Major Li Jiu to bring the pill back to the capital, he couldn't help but stumble: "How can such an entrance thing be easily piggybacked?" Or just send it to the palace? If something happens to the imperial concubine, I can't say that this pill will become evidence of the crime! That's a great sin! ”

Gu Chang couldn't help but distinguish two sentences for Wang Yongzhu: "Don't Yongzhu and they know the depth of the water here?" But what can I do? Li Jiushao went to the emperor's concubine's order, and there is the emperor's intention behind this, who dares to resist the decree? ”

"I think Yongzhu and they are right, instead of standing in line now, it is better to obey the emperor's heart. If the imperial concubine really gives birth to a prince and is young, what threat can there be? At least before the prince becomes an adult, can he keep safe? More than ten years have passed, and who knows what the situation will be when the time comes-"

"Shut up! Be careful! Gu Changqing was taken aback and scolded first.

Only then did he look around vigilantly, fortunately, this was in his own study, except for the most confidant people, no one dared to approach, and he stopped drinking early, so he didn't let Gu Chang say that rebellious words.

Only then did he wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and glared at Gu Chang.

Gu Chang also knew that he had made a mistake, so he kept silent.

Gu Changqing barely maintained calm on his face, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

He didn't expect that Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu were so bold, and this kind of thing would also be involved.

But after thinking about it, Gu Chang was right, there is obviously the shadow and handiwork of His Majesty today, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! In the end, he is still young, and he lacks the means and scheming, so he has no other plan but to obey.

I think this is also due to the calculation of His Majesty today!

Gu Changqing knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and he was helpless.

Thinking about it carefully, although Gu Chang's previous words were bold, they also found another way.

If it is really related to the imperial concubine, unless the imperial concubine can really give birth to the prince and grow up safely, it will take more than ten years to really participate in the competition for the prince.

More than ten years later, the current emperor is almost the same age......

Gu Changqing followed this line of thought, and suddenly thought of a bigger rebellious place, and didn't dare to think about it further.

After making up his mind and about to speak, he heard a rumor from someone outside that Gu Zihuan and his three brothers had returned.

Hurriedly stopped talking, only gave Gu Chang a look, and took the letter on the desk into his arms.

Gu Chang understood, and immediately lowered his head and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

When the Gu brothers came in, they saw their father and third uncle chatting, talking about the daily interesting things of Wang Yongzhu and Mrs. Zhang.

I saw each other, said hello again, and exchanged a few words.

Gu Changqing motioned for the brothers to go back to the room to change into their official uniforms and come back.

The three brothers scattered.

Gu Zihang returned to the courtyard, but he didn't see Knowles.

couldn't help but ask, I thought that Knowles was accompanying her grandmother, but who knew that she heard that Knowles was in the courtyard of the fourth girl.

Gu Zihang didn't care about it at first, but after a while, he realized that something was wrong, turned his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with the fourth sister?" ”

The subordinates were hesitant for a long time before they told the truth of the matter, and even the words that the old lady asked them to pass on were told to Gu Zihang.

Gu Zihang's face was pale, the last time the third sister got married, Knowles vaguely mentioned a sentence or two in his ear, he thought it was Knowles's heart, a family of flesh and blood, where did he have so much thought?

I was cold with Knowles for a few days, but I didn't think about it, but I was really told by Knowles.

Suddenly, as soon as the clothes were changed, he couldn't take care of much, and went straight to the courtyard where Gu Zimei lived.

Halfway through, I saw Knowles walking slowly with a tired face.

There are many people outside, and Gu Zihang is angry with Gu Zimei in his heart, but in the end, he has to take care of one or two.

I had to be patient and return to the courtyard, send all the subordinates out, and ask Knowles carefully.

Knowles was crying by Gu Zimei for half a day, and he was too tired, if it was in the past, he would have to use words tactfully and softly, and he was tired today, and he was too lazy to be thoughtful for Gu Zimei, and told Gu Zihang everything that happened before.

Finally, he sighed: "Grandmother and aunt are angry today, the fourth sister doesn't know what is going on here, she only cries and wants to find her father, I persuaded and persuaded me, coaxed and coaxed, and now I don't cry anymore-"

Although Gu Zihang doesn't talk much on weekdays, as the only son in the second room, he is the only one, and he is taught by Gu Changqing as his own son, and his heart and vision are not lacking.

Immediately decided: "Don't worry about her!" It's cold for a few days! I immediately repaired a letter and asked someone to send it to my father and mother, so that my mother could also write a letter to discipline one or two. ”

On the other hand, he said: "I've worked hard for you these days, keep an eye on her more!" ”

What else can Knowles do, he can only smile bitterly and say that it should be.

Gu Zihang said to repair the book immediately, and it was really immediately, he quickly wrote a letter, sealed it, and let people take it out.

The movement in the second room was naturally not hidden from the eldest lady of the Gu family, and when she heard the report from the next person, she only nodded, indicating that she knew.

Which master of the Gu family did not have a news channel in the house, and before dinner in the evening, everyone knew about Gu Zimei.

Therefore, at the dinner, Gu Zimei was missing, but no one asked her.
