The fall of the Eight Princes did not extinguish the desire of many princes to seize the throne, but aroused their greater ambitions.

But none of the princes who ended up taking the throne were clean.

Even the four princes have some people who have stayed in Jiangnan and other places to collect money or secretly collect contacts for them.

Obviously, you can't take the heir without money.

Princes need silver for whatever they do, and as for their serious work, they will be admired by officials and followed......

To be honest, such an official can be used, but it will not have a great impact on Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing did not like officials who were too upright.

And the officials who can hold the authority of the court or the local government are old fritters.

Without full benefits, who would dare to throw their heads and join in the battle for succession?

After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he made a good demonstration.

Because the first emperor supported the crown prince or other princes, and the officials who had conflicts with Emperor Longqing were killed.

The officials who have the merit of the dragon are also not good, and they are looking for a reason to kill them.

These princes in front of him are all the sons of Emperor Longqing!

In case there is a kind of example, the bigwigs in the court want them to help the prince before they completely understand Emperor Longqing's thoughts?

You can't do it even with silver.

And the good officials who were moved because the prince was fair and honest...... Since they are all good people, how can they join in and win the heirs?

They pay more attention to doing practical things for the people!

There is a saying that people die for money, and birds die for food, so a large amount of silver is extremely important to the princes.

The Eighth Prince used to have such a high reputation, and most of it was bought back with silver.

Gu Siye took the word Guanfeng with the words, although he has no right to meddle in local government affairs, but he has eyes and ears, after he returned to the capital, he drank a few times with Emperor Longqing, and whatever came out of his mouth, Emperor Longqing would definitely believe it!

He is now more trusted by Emperor Longqing than Lord He.

There is no doubt that Emperor Longqing favored Gu Zhan very much, and the routes that gave Gu Zhan a view of the wind were all prosperous places.

Not only is the view good, but there is more oil and water.

And these places are also the richest places in the dynasty.

It is also the princes' private money bags.

In case Gu Siye, who was always unexpected, discovered something and did something, the princes didn't want to repeat the treatment of the eighth prince.

And this is also their chance to take advantage of Gu Siye's mouth to get rid of their opponents.

No one will give up this opportunity, because if you don't move, the brothers won't let you go.

It depends on who is clever in designing, and can borrow Gu Siye's mouth.

The team to win the heir is still too large, and after the fall of the Eighth Prince, the princes who originally supported the Eighth Prince have a chance to stand on their own.

They took over a lot of the power of the Eight Princes, which also made the seizure of the heir more complicated.

In the imperial study, Emperor Longqing put down the brush, and the chief eunuch handed over the handkerchief.

Emperor Longqing wiped his hands slowly, and not far from him, Gu Jin stood tall and stood with his hands down.

"You are more patient than your father, and you can endure hardships."

Emperor Longqing's eyes crossed with appreciation, no wonder Gu Zhan never worried about providing for the elderly, with such a calm and filial son as Gu Jin, he just waited to enjoy the blessings.

On the contrary, Emperor Longqing himself has too many sons, and his sons' ambitions are too great, once he is old, he can't tell what will happen to this group of rabbit cubs.

Naturally, he didn't want to repeat the fate of the first emperor.

Strictly speaking, the first emperor was angry with him, of course, he declared to the outside world that after the first emperor passed on the throne, he had no regrets, and the heartache that the prince died early, and then he died.

"The minister doesn't feel hard, he studies to be an official, and he serves His Majesty, and the minister is only excited."

"Okay."

Emperor Longqing nodded, not minding Gu Jin's previous identity, but agreeing that Gu Jin was the Li family's own son.

The current Empress Dowager was also promoted to the throne in accordance with the last orders of the emperor after he ascended the throne.

used to say that she was a palace concubine, but she was just the concubine of the first emperor, and she was not favored.

The Li family has only been corrected for less than two years, and Gu Jin did not have the reputation he has now when he was a concubine, and he was a person who hid his talent.

Emperor Longqing put gold on his face, just like he did back then.

"I heard Gu Zhan often mention you."

Emperor Longqing looked at Gu Jin a little more to see the kindness of his younger generation, "When you were in the house, your father often praised you?" ”

"Nope." Gu Jin shook his head, "The minister doesn't get along with him much, after all, he doesn't like to read, and he meets a few times occasionally, and his father always says that the minister is not like his son, and he is more like the minister's uncle." ”

Emperor Longqing: "......"

The chief eunuch lifted his eyelids, and quickly lowered his head again, Gu Jin was afraid that he didn't know, but Gu Siye showed that he had a very talented son in his speech.

Emperor Longqing actually had a very good impression of Gu Jin, because he would also show off Lu Zheng with Gu Siye.

"Your father is too good at tossing and too noisy, so I sent him out of the capital, but when he went out of Beijing, I still thought about him, I always felt that he was a source of accidents, and I don't know if he offended the gods and Buddhas, accidents are always inevitable."

Emperor Longqing sighed, "I once said that as long as I am still here, I will protect him for a lifetime, he has offended many people, under my nose, this group of people naturally dare not say anything, but now that he is out of Beijing, I am afraid that the local people will design him, although your sister is by his side, in the end, Gu Yao is just a girl." ”

"You are the sixth and first of my hand, and I have always admired your talents, and regarded you as a future minister. I like your father's straightforwardness, but I don't use him again. ”

Emperor Longqing's eyes were scorching, "You Gu Jin are different, I should give you a chance to practice, I will give you a secret decree, follow what Gu Zhan did, and carefully see for me how the people's customs are and the people's sufferings ......."

"By the way, take care of your dad too!"

Emperor Longqing took out a stack of scrolls from the bookcase, "Look at what he sent me?" ”

The chief eunuch couldn't hold back a smile, since Gu Siye sent the scroll into the palace, Emperor Longqing has been holding back a fire!

"I heard that you adapted it for him? Gu Jin, you read just to write a book? Did I make you too idle? ”

"You are the champion, you are a pillar of talent, don't learn from your father, and don't live up to my expectations."

Gu Jin took the scroll and glanced at it, his calm face stiffened, "The minister is just a clumsy act of filial piety to his father, but I didn't expect to be sent to you by my father." ”?“ The minister is guilty. ”

"That's it, Gu Zhan has always been afraid of death, you write him a book in the future and write less about the heads of these domineering marquis!"

“…… Obey the order. ”

So, does he still want to write a story for Gu Siye?

Emperor Longqing waved his hand to let Gu Jin retreat, and pressed his forehead, "Your most outstanding sons and daughters are here, and they can always keep your head on your neck." ”

"Coward! Do you really regard my officials as upright people? ”

Emperor Longqing didn't believe that the local officials dared to treat Gu Zhan badly, so he could send Gu Jin out of Beijing, saying that it was official business, and it was also for Gu Zhan's safety.

There will never be anyone more dedicated than Gu Zhan's son. I want to talk about "Tremble, Scum Dad" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
