Chapter 42 Keeping a low profile
As the prince, his only request is to delay the marriage for a few years.
The emperor looked at his bright black gem eyes, handsome face, and soft expression, and felt soft, and sighed: "It's a few years later, it's not a matter of worry. In another half a year, the prince's wedding will be together. At that time, I will give you a ban. It's not too late for you to go to the fiefdom again."
"My son thanks my father for his grace."
After Gu Changyuan thanked him for his gratitude, Chen Hong followed closely.
"Your Highness, Gaoge sent a letter saying that he had informed the Ministry of Personnel and recommended Zhang Xinzheng as the Minister of Revenue."
"I see."
Gu Changyuan's expression remained unchanged and his steps were steady.
He has a close relationship with Takahashi, the chief minister of the cabinet, which is a secret that few people know.
Three years ago, he left the palace to do business and accidentally saved a kidnapped child. Later, he learned that the child was the grandson of the Prime Minister Takahashi.
Since then, Gu Changyuan and Shoufu Gao have been in contact.
Of course, it's all in secret.
Although he has always been low-key and has no presence, Takahashi appreciates it very much.
He said that this is called keeping one's low profile.
The tree is fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Don’t be the one who stands out before you don’t have enough strength.
Prince Gu Yingxun always called Takahashi as the old man as he pleased, trying to get his support.
If he had known that Takahashi had long secretly turned to and supported his powerless sixth brother, and took advantage of his opportunity to be undermined and pushed Zhang Xinzheng to become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he would be so angry that he would pass by on the spot.
As for Zhang Xinzheng, it was a coincidence that five or six years ago, he was the sixth prince and the seventh prince, the eighth prince's bachelor's degree, and his master was their serious master.
However, the Sixth Prince is too low-key. He usually appears as a follower of the prince, and he rarely interacts with Zhang Xinzheng on the surface. Most people will never associate it in that aspect.
In the boundless dark night, a net of killing belonging to Gu Changyuan himself was quietly weaving.
On the other hand, eunuch Chen Hong thought he understood his master's thoughts, and from time to time he would go out of the palace to find medicinal materials, miraculous doctors and so on.
Unexpectedly, every two days, he would run back and say to Gu Changyuan: "Marquis Li sent his daughter away!"
Gu Changyuan was writing an article, but when he heard this, he felt a little moved and asked, "Where to send it?"
"It was said that it was sent to the farm to rest."
"oh."
"But don't worry, your highness, you should not be far away. I'm going to find out for you."
"Chen Hong, are you very idle?" The Sixth Prince looked at Eunuch Chen with a cold look.
Chen Hong hurriedly bowed his head: "I know my mistake."
"A eunuch is ashamed to ask about the whereabouts of his daughter in his boudoir all day long?" Gu Changyuan threw a letter to him, "Take it to Master Zhang."
"I'll go when it's dark."
How could the prince openly make friends with important officials in the court?
Naturally, we must avoid human goals.
Chen Hong stuffed the letter into his arms and put it away, stood with his head down for a moment, and then said carefully: "Your Highness, there is something else."
"explain."
"That girl Hong'er... came once two days ago. Your Highness was gone, so I asked her to go back."
"knew."
"Does Your Highness want her to serve?"
"don't want."
Thinking of the Siyi Palace Maid, Gu Changyuan felt annoyed.
Chen Hong asked carefully: "Since Hong'er is not allowed to like him, why don't you... the servant sent her?"
The so-called palace maids in the bedroom are just a tool for tasks, and most princes don’t really want them.
Of course, there are exceptions.
Chen Hong felt that Hong'er was ordinary in all kinds of colors, looked ordinary, and was not likable. It was normal for His Highness to dislike her, so he went to Hong'er privately to ask her about her stay or leave.
Unexpectedly, he caught a traitor on the spot.
