Chapter 40: The Lobbyist I
King Qi and Princess Qi changed their eyes with a suspicious 'handover', and they were a little surprised, the history of the Taishi Mansion is actually the Taishi's staff, the size of the authority of this subordinate official changes with the power of the Taishi, Taiding Dynasty, the power of the Taishi has always been small, so this position is more of an idle position. -Uncle Haha-
However, in the past two years, the emperor suddenly and gradually increased the power of the Taishi, the process was very slow, little by little, no one noticed at first, and when everyone noticed, Pan Lian's power was already very large, and it became a pivotal faction in the imperial court.
As the power of the Taishi grew, the subordinate officials who were originally inconspicuous began to be taken seriously. There are not many subordinate officials in the Taishi Mansion, unlike the King of Qi or the Prime Minister, there are dozens or hundreds of subordinate officials, and there are only seven or eight in total, among which the Taishi Changshi is the head.
The relationship between Taishi Pan Chain and King Qi was originally good, but with the brother and brother and the voice of the two people gradually increased, the relationship between the two was estranged, Pan Chain secretly targeted King Qi several times, this time urging King Qi to become a vassal, there was his shadow behind him, even if the relationship between the two sides was not completely torn face, it was basically not in contact.
As for Gu Wei, King Qi has nothing to do with him, Gu Wei's reputation is very great, King Qi has seen him twice in the court, but he has no contacts, and the impression left on King Qi is not bad, however, this person was recruited by Pan Lian, and he is Pan Lian's subordinate official, King Qi deliberately distanced himself, but he didn't think about it, he actually came to the 'door'.
The princess looked at King Qi, and King Qi was a little puzzled, what is this person doing at this time?
"What is he here for?" King Qi muttered in a low voice, and the princess smiled slightly: "You'll know when you see it." ”
King Qi bowed slightly, and the princess ordered, "Please let him in." ”
After saying that, the princess did not get up and left, but remained in the room. If Liu Han is here, I'm afraid he will be a little puzzled, in fact, this era is different from the era he has heard of, 'female' people are not unable to see foreign guests, on the contrary, 'female' people have a higher degree of freedom, not only can they see foreign guests, but they can even enter the court as officials, of course, such 'female' people are very rare.
After a while, Gu Wei came in, still dressed in white, with a handsome and chic demeanor, and bowed down when he saw King Qi and the princess.
"Changshi, please get up, the prince is unwell, this concubine sees guests on behalf of the prince, and please Changshi is not strange. The princess said warmly, the white-clothed son is very famous, but it is the first time she has seen it at close range, two years ago on the Yuan Festival, she saw it once in the palace, when the scene was noisy and noisy, she accompanied the queen and the concubines in the palace, so she didn't look carefully, today a closer look, really an extraordinary character.
"I have long heard that the prince is seriously ill and has the heart to come to visit, but the court affairs are complicated, and I couldn't 'take time' for a while, so I was free today, so I came, Gu Wei was a little abrupt, and asked the princess and princess to forgive me. Gu Wei smiled slightly, like a warm sunshine, shining into the room, and the whole room warmed up.
The princess secretly praised in her heart, worthy of being a person who is famous all over the world, this talk is really extraordinary. She sighed slightly: "The prince is seriously ill and under suspicion, I wanted to close the 'door' to thank the guests and recuperate with peace of mind, but I didn't think about it, my friends did not avoid suspicion, and they came to visit, but this 'door' couldn't be closed, but the long history came to make the concubine a little surprised." ”
The princess quietly took out a sword, but a few words are very knowledgeable. After getting sick, people kept coming to visit, including ministers in the court, Shilin idlers, and even the prince also sent people to visit, but when it came to the princess's mouth, they were all friends, and they didn't seem to be court officials, and then asked Gu Wei, you are not a friend of the prince, what are you doing today?
Gu Wei didn't care, and smiled slightly: "The princess doesn't know, Xia Guan once studied medicine, and today I came to see the prince." ”
"See a doctor?" The princess was a little surprised, turned her head to look at King Qi, King Qi frowned slightly, obviously beyond his expectations, so the princess asked again: "Yesterday, the imperial doctor also came to see it, when did Changshi learn medicine?"
Gu Wei still didn't care: "Don't hide it from the princess, Wei learned it when she was young, if the princess doesn't believe it, you can let Wei try, if it's not right, it's not too late for the princess to blame." ”
The princess hesitated a little and got up to give up the position in front of the 'bed', a girl came over and moved the embroidery pier she was sitting on to the side, and moved an embroidery pier again and put it in front of King Qi's 'bed', Gu Wei didn't give in and went over to sit down, facing King Qi.
"Lord Wang, please stretch out your hand. Gu Wei said, King Qi looked at him coldly: "You really know medical skills?"
Gu Wei smiled slightly, put his fingers on King Qi's pulse, there was a sound of footsteps outside the 'door', two people came in one after the other, the person walking in front was in his forties, his face was white, and he had a few black 'colored' short beards under his chin, seeing that Gu Wei was giving King Qi a pulse, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then saw that the princess was also sitting on the side, and he hurriedly gave the princess a salute.
The person in the back was different, wearing a brocade robe, powerful and powerful, with a long knife at his waist, he didn't say anything after coming in, he first gave a gift to the princess, and then walked three steps away from the 'bed', staring at Gu Wei coldly.
"Changlan must not be rude, step back. The princess's voice was very soft, this Chang Lan was the captain of the Qi King's guards, and at the age of twenty-two, he was selected by the King of Qi from the army to his side, and he has been following the King of Qi for more than ten years.
Chang Lan hesitated and was about to turn around and leave, and the white pure short beard in front shouted: "Wait, princess, the lower officials should advise, during the period when the prince is seriously ill, when he sees foreign guests, there must be a palace guard." ”
The princess was stunned for a moment and shook her head lightly: "Gu Gongzi is famous all over the world, and he will not do despicable things, Mr. Liu is too worried." ”
Liu Shi categorically objected, and his voice roared like thunder: "The princess's words are wrong, the prince is under suspicion at the moment, everything should be cautious, this should be a common practice, not for others." ”
The princess sighed and was about to speak, but Gu Wei smiled and said: "Mr. Liu's words are appropriate, the son of a daughter can't sit in the hall, and the prince's guards should not leave an inch." ”
A hint of strange 'color' flashed on the princess's face, Liu Shi was really stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while, the atmosphere in the room was like a storm about to rise, and he was cut down by a knife, so everything stopped.
Gu Wei turned his back to the princess and didn't see it, as if he didn't pay attention to what was happening in the room, looked at King Qi, and said unhurriedly: "The prince's illness Wei has already known, the depression is in the heart, it is difficult to discharge, Wei has a pill 'medicine', when it is taken with the 'medicine', the depression should be discharged." ”
Saying that, Gu Wei took out a small box from his arms and sent it to King Qi, half of it was delivered, then he suddenly paused, and handed it to Liu Shi.
Liu Shi hesitated slightly, after a while, he understood, his face turned red, Gu Wei still kept smiling, his demeanor did not decrease at all, Liu Shi didn't know whether to take it or not, the princess said softly: "Hongman, show it to me." ”
The little girl on the side stepped forward and took the 'medicine' pill from Gu Wei's hand and sent it to the princess, the princess opened the box, there was nothing abnormal, an ordinary dark brown 'color' pill 'medicine', there was no pungent taste, there was a faint smell of 'medicine' grass.
The princess closed the box and handed it to the little girl, and then asked: "As the long history said, you still need a 'medicine' introduction, I don't know what this 'medicine' is to lead, can it be easily found?"
Hearing the princess's inquiry, Gu Wei opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "It's easy to find, it's not easy to find." ”
The princess frowned slightly, and Gu Wei continued: "'Medicine' is simple and simple, and complicated is complicated, depending on whether it is suitable for the symptoms of the prince. ”
The princess still didn't understand, Liu Shi also frowned, just now he was angry, but Gu Wei was a 'stick' on the head, and his sharpness was frustrated a lot, if you want to change someone, I'm afraid you will have to retreat, think carefully before speaking, but this Liu Shi is not a person who gives up easily, his anger flashed, and he raised his voice: "It turns out that Gu Gongzi is here to sell 'get', I don't know if I saw that my prince is seriously ill, there is no one in the house, or someone is supporting you!"
Gu Wei smiled, slapped the folding fan in his hand lightly twice, and did not answer Liu Shi, but looked at King Qi: "Let me talk about it first, Brother Liu, the prince, see if he is right." ”
King Qi didn't speak, he simply closed his eyes, Liu Shi snorted softly, Gu Wei smiled: "The prince's depression comes from Qidi, although Qi is rich, it is far inferior to the imperial capital; ”
Princess Liu Shi Qi Qi 'colored' changed, King Qi snorted coldly, and was about to reprimand nonsense, but Gu Wei had already rushed in front of him: "Wei is right or not, the prince knows it, but Wei wants to say that the prince is wrong." ”
King Qi was stunned for a moment, and casually asked: "Wrong, what's wrong!
"The prince is wrong, the prince has always stayed in Beijing, this is 'forced' the emperor! Wei is planning for the prince, the prince should move quickly, even if he is unwell and pauses on the way to recuperate, he must leave the imperial capital immediately. ”
At this time, Gu Wei restrained his smile and looked very serious, King Qi was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Why?
"Lord, it's just four words, brother and brother. Gu Wei said solemnly.
King Qi was speechless, he was very aggrieved in his heart, this brother and where did he come from, he didn't know at all, after getting this rumor, he had hinted to the emperor several times that he would not compete with the crown prince, and the emperor should let the prince succeed to the throne, not only explained, but also in several court and political conflicts, he resolutely supported the prince, but he didn't expect this rumor to spread more and more fiercely, and this kind of thing could not be explained clearly.
"It's nonsense, my prince has never thought about taking the heir, the prince is high-spirited, not to mention the throne, he has never even fought for power, this must be the villain's rumor!" Liu Shi refuted loudly.
"Alas," Gu Wei sighed softly and looked at Liu Shi sideways: "Brother Liu said well, the position of the prince has been determined early, the prince is not wrong, the title of the monarch and the minister is also determined, the prince is a virtuous king in the world, and he will never have the ambition of a wolf son to seize the throne." ”
Gu Wei's expression was solemn, and Liu Shi was a little confused, what is this Gu Wei doing today?
The princess slightly understood, Gu Wei was here to be a lobbyist today, but it was also her idea to let the prince leave the imperial capital as soon as possible.
