Chapter 177 Willing to relieve His Majesty's worries
Chapter 177 Willing to take care of His Majesty’s worries
Author: Ge Rao
Gu Hanzhang's expression remained calm, and he did not lose his usual sense of propriety or arrogance because of Emperor Renxiao's words.
"His Majesty's orders are, Hanzhang will do his best."
It was clearly a scene talk, but Emperor Renxiao was still very happy to hear it.
"I ask you, do you know why King Yu came to see him, and why I avoided seeing him?" Emperor Renxiao did not rush to speak, but asked Gu Hanzhang first.
"Recently, Wei Chen has been cultivating himself at home in order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. He is not clear about matters in the DPRK," Gu Hanzhang replied.
Emperor Renxiao nodded with satisfaction and touched the beard on his chin.
"I know that you never interfere in the fights between the princes in the court, so I trust you the most. Prince Yu came here, but he only took the initiative to ask Ying to inspect the military camp, but I did not intend to leave the matter to him.
Speaking of which, this matter happened a few days ago when a deserter escaped from the military camp. After he was beheaded, Jing Zhaoyin found something wrong and reported it to me. Later, I sent people to investigate secretly and found that there were problems with the soldiers' clothes, weapons, and food.
.Hanzhang, do you understand what I mean by this? Are you willing to offend others for me?"
Gu Hanzhang clasped his hands and said, "I am willing to relieve your Majesty's worries."
Emperor Renxiao laughed heartily twice, but coughed a few times.
"That's very good. I know that Hanzhang will not disappoint me. After getting married, you are more popular than before. This concubine is actually a good one." Emperor Renxiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "I am going to the military camp now.
You need to keep a low profile, don't be public, don't want to be discovered, prepare in advance, lest you fall short."
"Yes, Hanzhang understands." Gu Hanzhang replied.
The more he looked at Gu Hanzhang, the more satisfied he became. It was a pity that the child was not his, otherwise he would have been the crown prince with his talents, but he was a bit cold-tempered.
However, it is much better now.
"Okay, you go back and let Prince Yu come in." Emperor Renxiao waved his hand.
After Gu Hanzhang left and King Yu entered, the smile on Emperor Renxiao's face faded.
King Yu was a little frightened when he came in, but he still stood tall and bowed to Emperor Renxiao, looking like he was afraid but had to come.
Emperor Renxiao was sitting at the top. His eyes were a little cloudy, but his gaze was still unbearable. After all, he had been the emperor for so many years, so he still had a strong momentum.
It's a bit cool today, maybe because it rained in the middle of the night and the surrounding area is damp.
King Yu waited outside the royal study for a long time, and his body was stained with a lot of moisture. He was showing his sincerity and hoped that Emperor Renxiao would agree.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Emperor Renxiao had already given what he wanted to Gu Hanzhang.
"Lao Wu, how do you think you compare with Hanzhang?" Emperor Renxiao asked.
King Yu was confused, but he still told the truth.
"Father, I am joking. My sons and ministers are definitely not as good as Hanzhang. He is a rare and talented man with both civil and military skills. He will definitely be my minister of the great Qi Dynasty in the future and the mainstay."
It can be seen that King Yu also thinks highly of Gu Hanzhang.
Emperor Renxiao nodded with satisfaction, "You do still have some self-awareness. Since you know that Hanzhang is better than you, then I leave this matter to Hanzhang, so what do you ask for?"
After saying this, King Yu was stunned. He never thought that he wanted to be in the limelight, but Gu Hanzhang was the one who got there first.
If it were someone else, he would definitely have to fight for it.
But when it came to Gu Hanzhang, King Yu didn't have the idea to implement it. He knew that he couldn't compete with Gu Hanzhang.
Although Emperor Renxiao was in poor health, there was nothing wrong with his mind and his heart was clear.
"Since my father has handed over this matter to Han Zhang, I believe that Han Zhang can do a better job than I, Chen, and find out the moths in the military camp as soon as possible. I, Chen, will be convinced." King Yu clasped his fists.
"It's really rare for you to have this kind of enlightenment. If you have nothing to do, go down and I will be tired." Emperor Renxiao waved his hand.
King Yu pondered for a moment, and finally left the imperial study. He wanted to pursue Gu Hanzhang, but he never thought that Gu Hanzhang had already left the palace.
That's all, there is always a chance to make a difference.
Before Gu Hanzhang returned to his home, the emperor's imperial edict also arrived at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Since it was an imperial edict from the emperor, the entire Hou family had to go to the front hall to receive the edict, except for the old Marquis Gu Yuan who was authorized.
Chaoli didn't think too much. She never thought that this imperial edict was related to her. She was just a little confused. This didn't seem to happen in her previous life, and she didn't know why it happened today.
When the eunuch finished reciting the imperial edict, Chaoli was still a little unable to recover.
It turned out that Gu Hanzhang had made great contributions in Xishan, but he did not ask for his own reward, so Emperor Renxiao gave her the title of imperial edict.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Chaoli took the imperial edict with both hands and had many doubts in his heart.
It's a pity that she didn't pay too much attention to the previous life, otherwise she should have known something.
After seeing off the eunuch who announced the edict, everyone in the front hall looked at Chaoli. The people in the second room were extremely envious, especially Gu's second aunt Zhang, who was staring at the edict and wanted to make a hole in it.
"Since the emperor has given you the title, you must be careful in your words and deeds in the future, and you must not bring discredit to the Marquis Mansion." Princess Dessau warned.
Regarding Emperor Renxiao's actions, Princess Desao felt that it was better to reward Chaoli than to reward Gu Hanzhang.
"Yes, mother." Chaoli nodded in agreement.
"The Queen Mother has handed over a message, saying that you will enter the palace in three days to accompany her. You make preparations and we will work together." Princess Dessau said again.
Chaoli said again, "Yes, mother."
In the previous life, the Queen Mother did suffer from cold in early spring. She also visited the Queen Mother and found that there was no big problem. This is the case with older people. I don’t know if this is the problem.
Now that the imperial edict had been read out and the court departure instructions had been given, Princess Dessau returned to the courtyard.
Gu Xiyue said nothing and turned to leave.
"Niece-in-law, wait a moment."
Chaoli was about to go back to Yuge, but was stopped by the person behind her, so she could only stop.
"What's wrong with Second Aunt?" Chaoli asked.
Mrs. Zhang has never seen others who are better than her. She could pretend before, but now she can hardly even pretend. Her eyes are glued to the bright yellow scroll in Chao Li's hand.
That's an imperial edict. It's really enviable that she doesn't have such an honor yet.
"That's right, Second Aunt has something to ask. Are you free the next day? If you are free, can you come with me to Fang's house?" Zhang asked with a smile.
The Fang family that Zhang mentioned was the family that Gu Jiu proposed to marry. They were planning to get married before, but unexpectedly, Gu Jiu fell off the horse and injured her body. She was unable to do anything for a while.
The two families have discussed the matter of marriage, and even if the marriage suddenly needs to be postponed, there must be an excuse.
Therefore, after some discussion, Mrs. Zhang decided to pay her a visit the next day.
Thinking of the young lady from the Fang family, Chao Li curled up into a sneer.
