Chapter 243 Ask the emperor for leave and take her out for a walk
In the emperor's special tent, Emperor Renxiao sat at the top and Gu Hanzhang stood below him.
"Hanzhang, do you know why I called you here alone, and what do you want to say to you? According to your intelligence, you should understand. It's not just as simple as chatting with me when I call you here." Emperor Renxiao
Open your mouth.
Gu Hanzhang's expression did not change at all, although he had already guessed the purpose of Emperor Renxiao calling him over.
It's just that he can't speak out.
"I don't know, I hope the emperor will make it clear." Gu Hanzhang bowed his hands.
Emperor Renxiao couldn't help but sigh, "Hanzhang, you know, my health is getting worse day by day, but I haven't thought about who should pass the title of prince to him. After all, Prince Li is my eldest son, and he is also my eldest son."
The child I had high hopes for made a mistake earlier. King Rui was born to the Queen.
It’s not bad to have both talents and virtues, but the queen’s mother’s family is also very powerful, so I’m afraid my empire will change hands by then. As for King Yu, with the help of Prime Minister Wen, it’s actually okay, but he’s a bit soft-tempered and doesn’t have the courage of the emperor. The palm of his hand
The back of my hand is full of flesh, I really don’t know what to do.”
Although he said that, in fact Emperor Renxiao had already arranged his preferred candidates for the throne according to his inner thoughts.
Obviously, what he wanted most in his heart was to make King Li the crown prince.
It's a pity that King Li made a mistake some time ago and was banned. If he is appointed as the prince now, it will not be easy to convince the public.
Furthermore, Emperor Renxiao deliberately asked Gu Hanzhang, not because he would follow his advice on establishing a crown prince, but because he wanted to know whether Gu Hanzhang agreed with him.
It's not like it's a test, at least it doesn't have any ulterior motives.
Gu Hanzhang fully understood Emperor Renxiao's thoughts, so it was impossible for him to really speak his mind.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Just take good care of yourself. As for the position of Crown Prince, no matter which prince you get in the end, it will be the same to Hanzhang."
Emperor Renxiao looked at Gu Hanzhang's expression seriously, and seeing that he didn't seem to be faking, he nodded slightly.
"It is best if you have such an idea. I am still a little worried about which son you will stand behind. Now it seems that I have overthought it. I have always felt that you are the most suitable person for the throne, but it is a pity that you are not
My sons all say that my nephew is like his uncle, but your temperament is somewhat similar to mine." Emperor Renxiao stood up with a smile and walked towards Gu Hanzhang.
"The emperor is too worried, Hanzhang is only loyal to the emperor."
The implication is that you will be loyal to whoever is the emperor.
Gu Hanzhang remained expressionless. He would not take Emperor Renxiao's words to heart, let alone have no idea of becoming an emperor.
Even now, just standing behind King Liang, he is already very busy, and the time he spends with Chaoli has been reduced a lot.
In this case, maybe I should find an easier job in the future.
Seeing Gu Hanzhang in a daze, with a rare tenderness between his brows, Emperor Renxiao was a little surprised.
This look was obviously the behavior of a young man when he had a sweetheart, and Emperor Renxiao was secretly amazed by it. After all, it was indeed a bit unbelievable for Gu Hanzhang's temperament to have someone he liked.
"Is Hanzhang thinking about the imperial concubine?" Emperor Renxiao asked funnyly.
Gu Hanzhang came back to his senses and nodded immediately.
"Exactly, Wei Chen was thinking that he didn't have much free time to accompany the Crown Princess in the past. Not long after they got married, he went to Xishan and came back. He was seriously injured and had to recuperate for such a long time. So Wei Chen wanted to ask for leave from the emperor.
Take the Crown Princess out for a walk," Gu Hanzhang replied.
Emperor Renxiao was really a little stunned. He never expected that Gu Hanzhang would admit it and ask him to take leave to accompany his imperial concubine.
Thinking of this, Emperor Renxiao couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Yes, it seems that he has overthought it. Gu Hanzhang is so temperamental that he would stand behind which son.
"You are a boy who was afraid of avoiding women when you were not enlightened, but now you are eager to stick to the Crown Princess. It's okay. After the spring, I will give you seven days of rest, and you can take your Crown Princess for a walk.
Let's have some fun." Emperor Renxiao chuckled, and then thought of the Queen Mother's words, and added, "The Queen Mother even joked that she would let you hold the two of you for three years. I think it won't be long before I hear the good news from you."
Gu Hanzhang's expression moved slightly, "Your Majesty, seven days is definitely not enough, it must be one month, otherwise there will be no time to hold two children in three years."
"Asshole, a month is not too long for you!" Emperor Renxiao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
If Gu Hanzhang had been sleeping for so long, where would he find such obedient and suitable courtiers? He didn't even know who to ask for some decisions.
Although he was only in his early twenties, he was able to become Emperor Renxiao's right-hand man. He was naturally smart and wise. For this reason, Gu Hanzhang became the target that every prince wanted to win over.
The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion had military power, and Gu Hanzhang was extremely talented, all of which were the basis for the contenders to seduce the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, even minor ministers do not have to stay in the Ministry of Justice." Gu Hanzhang replied.
There was something else in the meaning of these words. Of course Emperor Renxiao could tell that Gu Hanzhang meant that he could resign and not stay in the Ministry of Punishment.
If he resigns, he can play with Chaoli for as long as he wants.
Emperor Renxiao laughed angrily, "You brat, you dare to threaten me. You are very courageous. Okay, okay, I'll give you twenty days to go out and play, more than half a month is enough."
"That's okay. Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Hanzhang said no more.
Occasionally saying it was okay but holding on to the air would arouse the emperor's anger, so Gu Hanzhang naturally walked down the steps.
"Okay, go find your Crown Princess and don't be an eyesore in front of me." Emperor Renxiao waved his hand.
In fact, he was a little tired. Now that he got the answer he wanted to know, there was no need for Gu Hanzhang to stay here with him.
Gu Hanzhang bowed his hands and said, "Hanzhang excuses himself."
"Go quickly."
Emperor Renxiao smiled and waved his hand, finally feeling relieved about Gu Hanzhang.
After walking out of the tent, Gu Hanzhang looked at Qin Feng, who had been waiting not far away, and walked over.
"How is she now?"
Gu Hanzhang did not ask who this person was, but Qin Feng knew that he was talking about Chaoli.
Although there are no men to the east of Tianchi, all women are walking in that direction, at least on the surface that is the case.
But secretly, someone was following him secretly, and would pass news to Qin Feng from time to time.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Imperial Concubine is very kind and even surprised Princess Ruimin. The Imperial Concubine is surrounded by the Pei brothers, Miss Song, Miss Huang and Miss Gao." Qin Feng replied.
Gu Hanzhang nodded, "Notify her and let the people in the dark continue to protect her. We must also prepare to take action."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Feng responded.
The hunting ground is destined to be not peaceful today, so I still have to do what I need to do to find Chaoli.
Thinking of this, Gu Hanzhang quickly mounted a horse and got into the east of the hunting ground.
