Chapter 17 Not father and son, better than father and son

Gu Tingshu did not answer Mu Chengze's words. After leaving the East Palace, he headed towards Zhenghe Hall.

As if he knew he would come, Emperor Yuan stood in front of the window, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Gu Tingshu went in, bowed and then stepped aside. Emperor Yuan remained silent, and he would not make any sound.

"A Shu, you and the prince have been having a lot of little tricks lately!" The two of them were in a stalemate. After all, Emperor Yuan was getting older and his determination was not as good as before, so he still spoke first.

It was a test as soon as he opened his mouth. He had already tried it so many times and he still enjoyed it.

Gu Tingshu bowed his head and responded: "Your Majesty is afraid that someone has deceived you. The prince and his ministers have stayed on their own terms and have not made any small moves."

Looking at his emotionless face, Emperor Yuan snorted coldly, "If you can be considered law-abiding, then all the subjects in the world will be honest."

Back then, because he was ashamed of his mother, I wanted him to have a worry-free life, but he was too ambitious, and his literary and military talents were higher than those of other young people.

Over the years, I have accompanied the prince to establish a firm foothold in Kyoto city, and I have achieved great success, and I have squeezed into the vanity fair.

But once he enters the monthly profit market, he will want to retreat in the future, but there is no way to retreat.

"Ash, your mother died young, and she only had a son like you. Remember to protect yourself."

Emperor Yuan always treated him poorly. He wanted to get him out of the world of fame and fortune, but he also made him a marquis.

She wanted him to protect her, but she allowed him to block the prince's gun again and again.

Seeing that he was unfazed by his words, Emperor Yuan sighed, "That's all, I keep saying this, and I think you are tired of hearing it."

"I have called you here this time to ask how you feel about the Shen family's daughter. You can be considered childhood sweethearts. If you like her, I will grant you a marriage."

"Although her identity is not a good match for you, the important thing is that you like her."

He is already twenty-three years old. When he was that age, he already had more than a dozen wives and concubines in his backyard.

Over the years, he had secretly and openly rewarded beauties, and his subordinates had flattered him and presented him with beauties, at least twenty or thirty, but he remained calm and turned them all back.

If I hadn't seen him causing so much trouble in Prince Gong's palace because of Shen Qiqi, I would have thought that he was no longer a womanizer.

There was originally little movement about Prince Gong's concubinage, but with Gu Tingshu's intervention, the news was received in Kyoto with dignity.

Although Emperor Yuan was deep in the palace, he knew the news faster than outside the palace. Mihan was sent to his desk almost as soon as the incident happened.

Gu Tingshu was not surprised that he knew and shook his head to reject his proposal.

"My relatives from the Shen Qi clan are still here, so Your Majesty should not bother with this."

What this means is that he is nosy.

Even though he knew his temper, Emperor Yuan was still angry.

I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who dares to bully himself so blatantly.

If I wasn't afraid that he would be too aloof and lonely in the future, why would I bother him?

"Although you two are in love, it's just that you are the Marquis of Zhenbei, and her parents died young, so the status difference between her and yours is too big."

"Only under my decree, no one would dare to bite the back of her tongue."

He said that the more he talked, the more nonsense he got. Although Shen Qi grew up in the Hou Mansion, she usually never left the door or stepped out of the door. He only met her a handful of times, so how could they be in love with each other?

Furthermore, although Shen Qi's parents died young, he was born in the Shen family of Jiangzhou. A hundred years ago, the Shen family's reputation was a hundred times more prominent than his own.

If it weren't for Taizu's death and his inability to retreat, most of the officials in Kyoto today would be from the Shen family.

"If your Majesty has the leisure to do so, why not think about how to take back Quanzhou? I won't worry about the minor ministers' affairs."

During the reign of the late Emperor, the Huns invaded and Quanzhou fell. Now, more than thirty years later, Quanzhou is still in the hands of the Huns.

Now that he mentioned it so carelessly, it was as if he took a knife and stabbed Emperor Yuan hard in the chest.

Emperor Yuan was so angry that he picked up the inkstone and was about to throw it at him. After thinking about it, he changed it to a writing brush. When he threw it, he knew that he would not hide, so he turned to the side.

"Just prepare to piss me off to death. If you piss me off to death, the prince will ascend the throne and you can go to heaven."

He was so angry that he kept talking. Gu Tingshu glanced at him and went to get a cup of tea.

"As you get older, don't worry so much. If you get angry all day long, your body won't be able to bear it."

I originally wanted to take the tea he brought, but his mouth became unforgiving, and Emperor Yuan turned away in anger.

After sitting behind the desk and taking a few deep breaths, Emperor Yuan patted the table and followed him.

"That's all. If you don't appreciate it, then I won't offend you. When you want to get married, come to me and ask for the imperial edict."

This conniving attitude does not mean that father and son are better than father and son.

The senior manager was not surprised by the way the two got along. He just stood quietly in the corner, like a transparent person. If Emperor Yuan hadn't called him, he would have thought there was no such person in the room.

"General Manager, go and see what clothes and jewelry are suitable for a little girl in my warehouse, and pick out a few boxes for Marquis Zhenbei to take back."

"Let's also send the scrolls that I sent from Jiangzhou. She should like the landscape paintings in Jiangzhou."

After saying that, he turned to Gu Tingshu and said, "Go and see the Queen when you have more time. She asked about you a few days ago and said that she wanted you to choose one you like during an outing."

She has seen the older child since childhood and saved the prince's life several times. Even if he is not her own child, the queen's love for him is not much less than that of the prince.

If he went to the Queen's Palace again, he would have to stay there to have a meal. Gu Tingshu shook his head and said, "Let's go with the prince in a few days."

He didn't want to go, and Emperor Yuan didn't force him, and waved him away.

Manager Gao followed him out and saluted Gu Tingshu, "Master Marquis, please wait a moment while I go get the clothes and jewelry awarded by the emperor."

The contents of Emperor Yuan's private treasury were no less than those of the state treasury. In recent years, the only one who could allow him to open a private treasury, apart from the Queen and Princess Suyang, was the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The senior manager didn't dare to be fooled, so he picked out some of the most expensive things and packed them into three large boxes. When they were transported back, the wheels of the cart were flattened.

After everyone was gone, Emperor Yuan tapped his fingers on the table, and a black shadow appeared out of thin air, kneeling in the corner like a ghost.

"Go to Jiangzhou and see what Mr. Shen is up to."

The news that Prince Gong wanted to take the Shen family's daughter as his concubine should have reached Jiangzhou. He wanted to see what the legendary Shen family would do after the Shen family's daughter was humiliated.

He is old, and he will not sit on the throne for much longer. Now that the dynasty is about to change, everyone who is lurking in the water to watch the excitement will have to come out and swim around a few times.

If you want to hide and laugh at the struggle for power, and then reap the benefits, there is nothing so good in this world.

The black shadow came and went, like a breeze blowing through Wuhen. Emperor Yuan played with the dragon-patterned jade pendant on his waist and chuckled for a while.

I think this Kyoto city will not be so peaceful in the future.
