The emperor nodded when he heard the words. He was also very tired. He did not comfort her. Instead, he sat down and said to Cuigu, "Make a cup of tea. Make it stronger."
He was very sleepy and had just come out of the royal study. He couldn't make up his mind about something and wanted to hear the Queen's opinion.
Cui Gu was busy.
Jin Xin saw that the emperor was very haggard, his complexion was not good, his eyes were dark, he looked a lot thinner, and he looked very weak.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? You look bad. You need to take good care of yourself."
"I'm just tired. There were too many things going on in the past, and I can't do anything at all." The emperor pinched his brows, trying to relieve his sleepiness.
Jin Xin sighed, he was like this now, and he still wanted to go to Concubine Shun. He was not generally tolerant of Concubine Shun.
Concubine Shun probably really pleased him, making him so addicted to her.
"The emperor is always so uncaring about himself. No matter how big the affairs of the previous dynasty were, the emperor's body is not the most important thing."
"If I don't work more diligently, who will the world look to?" The emperor sighed, but he felt very happy.
"Are there no ministers in the court who can take on important responsibilities? The emperor must do everything personally. The emperor is also a human being."
That's exactly what I wanted to say.
"I also want to hear the queen's thoughts. The affairs in Tatar are not yet settled, the affairs in Dingzhou have just stabilized, and Gu Zhao's wedding is coming soon. I feel that I really can't bear to let him set off to take over the affairs in Tatar after his wedding. , what does the queen think I should do?"
Jin Xin immediately frowned, "Didn't the Emperor already grant Gu Zhao the title of Protector of the Country and stay in the capital? The other generals can also go."
There are also many young generals from aristocratic families in the imperial court. The young generals from the Lord's family are in need of experience. Many children from aristocratic families have entered Gu Zhao's camp before, fought several battles, and were also awarded titles. Just now After joining the army for a year or two, he climbed from the bottom to the fifth and sixth ranks of vanguard generals.
There are a lot of things he can do, and he has seen big scenes, but it is just the aftermath, nothing serious. There is no need for Gu Zhao to go there in person.
"I've taken a look these days and found that only Gu Zhao is capable of taking on important responsibilities." The emperor hesitated.
In fact, it is not that he is unaware of his suspicion. He has also come from a minister step by step. He fights for military power and makes his father pay attention to his methods quickly.
He wants power, and naturally feels that they are fighting so hard for power.
However, Gu Zhao said that he would hand over the military power, and half of his original suspicions had faded. In addition, these days, the emperor really felt that Gu Zhao had not done anything transgressive along the way, and he also felt that he was too suspicious. .
I thought about continuing to reuse it.
After all, Gu Zhao is now a sharp sword in the Celestial Empire. With him here, neighboring countries will not dare to offend.
After hearing this, Jin Xin realized what Concubine Shun had done to help Gu Zhao, to get back his military power for him.
"Gu Zhao is indeed a rare good general, and he also saved the emperor before. That time we were among the refugees. If it weren't for Gu Zhao, we would probably have died at the hands of the remnants of the vassal state." Jin Xin said with emotion.
Hearing this, the emperor's expression changed slightly. He stood up and sat down with Jin Xin, holding her hand. "Yes, you and I have experienced life and death together. I also remember that Gu Zhao is indeed good."
Jin Xin snuggled into his chest, closed her eyes, and breathed out gently, "Your Majesty, I feel like I have been with the Emperor for a long, long time."
The emperor held her shoulders and sighed, "It's been a long time indeed. I know your heart."
"Then the emperor plans to give the original military power to Gu Zhao?"
"Let's wait until he gets married." The emperor said.
Jin Xin frowned, did he still want to wait for Su Yan to enter the house and observe for a while before making a decision?
The emperor just said that Gu Zhao could hold a big position, but he still had to test and test again.
Jin Xin still hopes to get military power selfishly, because he said that he would support himself and Hong'er.
Since it would be beneficial to her, of course she would give it a push.
The next day, Jin Xin asked someone to send a message to Gu Zhao, asking him to break up the matter of Zhong Guo Gong's daughter's marriage in advance.
The emperor is now interested in relenting. Instead of letting him take the initiative, it is better to turn passivity into initiative.
When Gu Zhao received the letter, he burned it immediately after reading it.
He was always careful in what he did and basically never left any evidence behind.
Gu Zhao recognized Duke Zhongguo's legitimate second daughter. In order to prepare for this incident, he even met her by chance, just to give himself an excuse to recognize her.
He also asked Duke Zhongguo to find Su Wan to verify that he had seen her.
He also dressed himself up specially. He, who always dressed casually, dressed up handsomely and appeared in front of her.
His reputation in the capital was spread by folk storytellers, such as the miraculous general God of War, the Jade-Faced King of Hell, and so on.
Gu Zhao never cared about it, but at that time he was extremely grateful to the storyteller, which made Su Wan even more amazed when she saw him.
At that time, he just bumped into her, and then the deputy came up to identify himself and then left.
Wei Cong said that she didn't even come back to her senses.
This is the effect Gu Zhao wants.
I took my things with me and went to the gate of Duke Zhongguo's mansion.
Duke Zhongguo watched Gu Zhao politely bring a lot of things, and he received them politely.
Gu Zhao seemed to be the emperor's favorite, but the emperor didn't trust him that much. He wanted to arrange for personal spies to keep an eye on him. If he passed the emperor's test, everyone would be happy. If not, the loss would only be a concubine.
Therefore, his attitude towards Gu Zhao is not clear yet, and he has to wait for the emperor's decision.
"My lord, could you please come out and meet me?" Gu Zhaoxiao asked.
Gu Zhao has never met Su Yan, but he has met Su Wan. Once he invites Su Yan out, he will have an attack.
The Duke of Guo laughed, a little reluctantly, "Gu Hou, it's not that I don't invite you, it's the custom that two people don't meet before marriage. This is the rule."
He was granted the title of Marquis of Protector of the Country, and it was no problem to call him Marquis.
After being rejected, Gu Zhao was not angry and continued to smile, "I am a rough man and don't care about that. I just want to meet my fiancée and express my feelings, that's all."
"Isn't this bad..." The only excuse Duke Zhongguo could think of was blocked.
Talking about fame is too far-fetched. She is getting married, so meeting her in person is not a big deal.
"My lord, is there something wrong with this?" Gu Zhao's smile faded and he began to look cold.
Seeing this, the Duke of Guo waved his hands quickly, "No, no, there is no problem. She is just learning the rules recently. I will call her right away."
Su Yan was locked up in the back house and was not allowed to go out. She said she was learning the rules, but she was being abused. This second sister came back from her last trip and tormented her whenever she had nothing to do.
Her father didn't care, her arms were bruised from being pinched, and she was now looking forward to getting married as soon as possible and out of the sea of misery.
The empress had said that General Gu would help her rescue her mother. She could serve General Gu with peace of mind, and her life would be much better than now.
"Third Miss, General Gu is coming to the house and asks you to go out and meet him."
