Chapter 1178: Honey Belly Sword
"Master Gu!"
Gu Chengyu heard someone call him, he hurriedly turned around and looked, and when he saw that it was He Jisheng, he smiled slightly and greeted him.
"Why is the senior brother still separated from the junior brother? Let's call ourselves brothers! Gu Chengyu glanced at He Jisheng, and saw that the other party was full of spring breeze and a gentle smile, he couldn't help but slander in his heart, this person is used to watching people put down dishes.
Before, Gu Chengyu didn't want to hand over the important task of welcoming the envoy to He Jisheng, but he was Honglu Siqing, which was his duty. Besides, the other party is also his senior brother no matter what, if Gu Chengyu does it too obviously, there will inevitably be gossip in the court.
"Hey~ The junior brother is now higher than the brother, and the brother is worried when he sees the younger brother, and the etiquette cannot be wasted! But since the junior brother still looks up to being a brother, it is disrespectful to be a brother, let's still call him a brother! ”
He Jisheng's eyes flashed with essence, although he warned himself that he must work hard to convince the other party, after all, Gu Chengyu is not what it used to be, but he still can't help but be envious and jealous.
Hearing the sourness in He Jisheng's words, Gu Chengyu didn't care. After all, it's not a person all the way, so why bother with general knowledge? Just wait for some face-saving in the future! It's all for the sake of teacher I's face.
"Senior brother is polite, why do we senior brothers have to see outside? I wonder if the envoys from Daxing can make proper arrangements? Gu Chengyu diverted the topic, he didn't want to talk to He Jisheng and the snake, this senior brother had a sweet belly sword, and he talked too much.
"It's already arranged, I don't know if the emperor will summon the envoys tomorrow?" He Jisheng looked at Gu Chengyu with inquiring eyes, they haven't been in court for a few days, and now the government is controlled by Gu Chengyu, and there have been discussions in the court for a long time, saying that the emperor may have been unable to help himself.
As for why I can't help myself, isn't this clear? It's just that now Gu Chengyu is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, once the court and the central government begin to question it, there will be holy decrees and emperor's edicts to resist from time to time, which makes the courtiers grit their teeth with hatred, but they are helpless.
However, these courtiers are not vegetarians, so they are waiting for the opportunity of this Daxing envoy to come to the court to see if the emperor will appear. If the emperor still can't avoid people, then don't blame them for trespassing on the palace ban.
"The emperor's dragon body has gradually recovered in the past two days, and he will naturally attend tomorrow. Daxing sent envoys over this time, led by their seven princes, why do we have to show sincerity, don't we? Third Senior Brother, they are here for the diplomatic relations between the two countries this time, and Honglu Temple must not slack off. If it is mishandled and affects the friendship between the two countries, we will be guilty. After all, the people live in peace and happiness, far from war, which is our lifelong wish of courtiers. ”
Since He Jisheng wants to know, it doesn't hurt for him to tell the other party. The emperor also knew that he was in a difficult situation, and in order to break the rumors in the court, tomorrow the emperor would support his illness to meet with the envoys.
"Oh! The emperor's dragon body is about to be healed? That's thankful. In that case, there is nothing to worry about as a brother. However, it was a coincidence to hear that this Daxing Seventh Prince was the nephew of the former clan of the junior brother. ”
He Jisheng and Gu Chengyu walked side by side outside the palace, and the corners of Gu Chengyu's mouth hooked up with a sneer when he heard this, which was fleeting.
"So Senior Brother also knows? The junior brother didn't expect it before, but he could only say that this world is impermanent, and creation makes people, who would have thought that he would have such an identity? It's just that now his status is different, and it's not good for me to have a relationship with my junior brother, so as not to embarrass the family. Third Senior Brother, you just treat him as the prince of Daxing, just respect and obey the courtesy, and don't say much about it, after all, I heard that his situation in the Daxing Dynasty is a bit difficult. ”
Gu Chengyu smiled and looked at He Jisheng with a warning in his eyes. I hope this senior brother can be more interesting, don't do these moths behind his back, otherwise he won't care about the teacher's face anymore.
"Really? Maybe people still miss the old love, why should the junior brother reject people thousands of miles away? When the Seventh Prince saw his brother, he asked about you! He Jisheng had a slight disagreement on his face, and his words seemed to be as if Gu Chengyu was too calculating, which was in stark contrast to the other party's frank and unrestrained attitude.
"Senior brother! Since he is already the prince of Daxing, he naturally draws a line with the past. Although the two countries now have the intention of establishing diplomatic relations, they have not yet reached an agreement. It is not a good thing to be too close to him before the negotiation is settled. Please also ask the senior brother to be cautious in his words and deeds, and don't make trouble for himself or the court. The junior brother said all this, and please take it to heart. ”
Gu Chengyu was very disgusted that He Jisheng was entangled in this matter, and when he greeted the envoy just now, he was naturally on the list. However, he and Gu Wanqian did not talk at that time, but only saluted each other, as if they were strangers.
He believed that Gu Wanqian was not willing to recall the past now, after all, with his current status as a prince, it was not honorable to take care of the family business for the Gu Mansion before. Why did Gu Chengyu rush to the knot? With his current status in the court, he can't do it at all.
He Jisheng's face stiffened, and this junior brother really didn't give him face. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then he was relieved.
No matter how dissatisfied he was with Gu Chengyu in his heart, he still calmed down a little, and then put on a worried look on his face.
"What did the junior brother say? I just think that your uncle and nephew got along well before, but now that they are suddenly separated, I feel a little emotional. Besides, I don't know if you have heard that now the DPRK and China have some gossip about you, and I am very angry when I hear it. There are even people who attack you because of this matter, even if you fight for your brother and say a few fair words for you, they still maliciously speculate about you, which is really despicable. ”
"The junior brother has also heard about this matter, and the senior brother doesn't have to take it to heart. Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, and who doesn't talk about people behind their backs? It's all the norm in officialdom, so why bother to meet them in general? Senior brother, I sit upright and are not afraid of people's words! ”
This He Jisheng talked to him, either to test or provoke, and his patience was exhausted.
"Senior brother! This matter of entertaining the envoys will have Senior Brother Lao, Senior Brother, I will take the first step, and I have to report to the emperor about the recent affairs of the DPRK and China, and I will be lost first! ”
"Senior brother is busy with himself! It's good to go, don't send it! He Jisheng bowed, looked at Gu Chengyu's back as he walked away, and couldn't help snorting coldly.
......
"Jinyu! After summoning the envoys tomorrow, the matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries will be negotiated, and the matter of opening mutual markets at the border gates must be implemented as soon as possible, and the treasury will be empty and will not be able to support it for long. The emperor leaned weakly on the pillow, his pale lips were a little peeling, and the blue and black on his face had receded a lot, but he looked very pale and bloodless.
"Yes!" Gu Chengyu nodded, personally poured a bowl of tea and handed it to the emperor, and he dripped some spiritual spring water in it.
He guessed right, Lingquan water can strengthen the body after taking it for a long time, but for the emperor, it can only be delayed for a while!
