The relationship between Yun Guifei, Yun Qing, and Gu Lianxi is actually not very good. There has been friction between the two women for a long time.
Seeing some changes in Bai Yutian's face made Gu Lianxi feel jealous, but she didn't show it, she just smiled softly and said: "I just miss my sister and want to see her, Your Majesty
Don’t be nervous.”
It turns out that's the case, Bai Yutian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look, noble concubine, it's getting late, and I'm also tired. How about I accompany you to the Royal Garden another day?"
Bai Yutian pretended to be very tired and was about to leave, but Gu Lianxi stopped him again.
"It won't take long. I just want to say a few words to His Majesty." Gu Lianxi said coquettishly, with pitiful eyes.
"Okay then, it will only take one stick of incense at most." Seeing Gu Lianxi's persistence, Bai Yutian had no choice but to agree temporarily.
Gu Lianxi nodded in agreement.
The two came to the imperial garden, followed by Dian Wei, Zhao Chuxue and a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
There were fireflies flying in the Imperial Garden, the surroundings were filled with fragrant smells, and the moonlight poured down.
Even though it was night, it had a different mood.
"Concubine, please tell me if you have something to say." Bai Yutian said eagerly.
"Your Majesty, you punished the Imperial Master a few days ago, and the punishment was a bit harsh."
Seeing that Bai Yutian was so eager, Gu Lianxi went straight to the point.
"Haha, is it serious? How many times has Gu Taizhong gone to court with his sword? According to the law, he should have been beheaded a hundred times. Now I just slapped him a hundred times. I am already extra merciful."
Bai Yutian's expression changed, and his tone gradually became harsh. If Gu Lianxi had called him because of this matter, then there would be no need for them to continue talking.
Gu Lianxi was Gu Taizhong's adopted daughter. After years of raising her, it was not surprising that she would plead for Gu Taizhong. However, Bai Yutian could not let Gu Taizhong go because of this.
In the past, because of his trust in Gu Taizhong and Gu Lianxi's charm, Bai Yutian had almost always been obsessed with Gu Lianxi's beauty and neglected government affairs, which allowed Gu Taizhong to develop so rapidly.
"Your Majesty is right, but my father told me that although he is recuperating at home because of your majesty's one hundred mistakes, he does not resent your majesty. It's just that I heard that the ministers were sick one after another today and did not come to court. My father was very angry.
Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can deign to condescend and go to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to discuss state affairs with my father so that the imperial court can continue to operate."
As soon as Gu Lianxi finished speaking, Bai Yutian grabbed his neck. Bai Yutian's palm gradually tightened, making Gu Lianxi start to have trouble breathing.
"Your Majesty, calm down." All the maids and eunuchs behind him knelt down to beg for mercy, making Bai Yutian calm down a little.
However, his face was not pretty, even a little angry.
Asking him to visit Gu Taizhong doesn't mean asking him to surrender to Gu Taizhong.
If the majestic emperor surrendered to a national counselor, how could the emperor of Zhou be so dignified?
"Is this what your father meant?" Bai Yutian asked coldly.
After Bai Yutian let go, Gu Lianxi fell weakly to the ground, revealing her pure white legs, but Bai Yutian had no intention of watching them at the moment.
This attitude made Gu Lianxi feel confused and confused.
She found that Bai Yuzhen was completely different from before, and the Gu family was completely unable to control this person.
For the Gu family, this is definitely not good news.
Can a woman really make such a huge change in a man?
After calming down, Gu Lianxi said softly: "My father is also worried about the situation in the court, but he really can't leave the house at this time, otherwise..."
Before Gu Lianxi could finish her words, she was stopped by Bai Yutian, "Otherwise, so what? If you dare to say a word, I will immediately throw you into the cold palace."
Gu Lianxi and Gu Taizhong are indeed a family, and they both have the same thoughts.
No matter how charming Gu Lianxi is, Bai Yutian has no intention of admiring her anymore.
After saying that, Bai Yutian left the imperial garden with Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue, leaving Gu Lianxi sitting alone on the ground.
"The useless emperor, do you really think that our Gu family is afraid of you? Don't forget, this is Tailin. Are you worthy of relegating me to the cold palace?"
After Bai Yutian left, Gu Lianxi's eyes gradually became colder. The maid next to her tried to help Gu Lianxi up, but she was pushed away by Gu Lianxi.
Time soon came to the next day, when Bai Yu went to court. The court was still empty today, and there were even a few fewer people than yesterday.
Gu Xing looked around and then stood up: "Your Majesty, tax collection, judicial audits, military recruitment and suppression of bandits and other matters are now unable to operate without the help of several adults. I hope your Majesty will deal with them as soon as possible."
After Jing Zhao left, the Gu family had no scruples in the court and spoke freely. They took turns putting pressure on Bai Yutian, hoping to make Bai Yutian give up and realize the importance of the Gu family.
"Haha, what Gu Aiqing said is that these ministers are all important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now they are sick at home, which makes me very worried." Bai Yutian shook his head and said sadly, with a sad look on his face, as if his own family members were sick.
Bai Yutian's attitude made Gu Xing a little confused. He didn't believe that Bai Yutian would be sad because of these ministers.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The great Zhou Dynasty has unparalleled luck. As ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, my ministers will definitely recover their health soon."
At this time, Yuncheng stood up and said.
"Haha, Mr. Yun is really at ease. He can't find a way to solve His Majesty's problems and can only talk nonsense." Gu Xing said coldly.
The Yun family used to be a wealthy family in the Great Zhou Dynasty and played a decisive role in the imperial court. However, the Yun family is not as good as before. There are only two or three people in the entire Yun family who are in the official career, and Yuncheng, who has the highest official position, is one level lower than himself.
wait.
Facing Yuncheng, Gu Xing has always had a sense of superiority, so he mocked him mercilessly at this moment.
"It sounds as if Mr. Gu can solve your Majesty's problems, tax collection, judicial audits, conscription and suppression of bandits... You are qualified for any task, and it won't make His Majesty worry. Fortunately, you are still the supervisor of history, which is simply a problem for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Shame on you, I am a great Zhou Dynasty, and we have many talented people. Mr. Gu is so unwilling to make progress, so be careful about being squeezed out." Yuncheng's words were quite sharp, and Gu Xing, who retorted, became so angry that he couldn't refute for a while.
"Quiet, the imperial court is not a place for you and others to argue. But Gu Aiqing, Yun Aiqing said the same thing. As a supervisor, you can't play any role when the ministers are unable to go to court. Let's do that.
, I will demote you to the Supervision Department first, and if you perform well later, I might as well promote you back." Bai Yutian waved his hand and said casually.
"What!" Gu Xing exclaimed.
Bai Yutian's words made Gu Xing's eyes widen with disbelief on his face.
There are still a few useful officials in the court now, but he actually dares to remove himself from his post. Isn't he afraid that the court will collapse completely?
Gu Xing was furious inside, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only hide his anger in his heart.
Yuncheng next to him looked gloating, and even looked at Gu Xing provocatively, making Gu Xing almost vomit blood in anger.
