"You know him?" Jiang Mo was surprised. This is the first time Gu Zheng has stayed in the capital for a long time, and the Feng family has always kept a low profile. It stands to reason that he shouldn't know the younger generation of the Feng family.
"There is a relationship, this person can be used." The
Feng family is also a big family in the capital. Unlike the Lin family who behaves in a public way, the Feng family is very low-key. The officials of the Feng family are all tested by themselves. Don't think about using your family connections to get into an official career. In Feng Ge's words, since you don't have that ability, don't occupy that position for nothing.
There are three cabinet elders in the cabinet. These cabinet elders are all veterans who joined the cabinet when the first emperor was in power.
Mr. Feng Ge is different from the other two elders. He is a clean official and dedicated to the country. Unfortunately, he is old and none of the next generation can stand up. He has to stick to his post with his old bones.
He is worried about this country. He is waiting for a successor. In the original plot, the Zuo Xiang and his gang took advantage of the original owner's life experience to pull him down from the throne, and supported the blood of the eldest prince recovered from the people to become the emperor. Feng Ge The old man fell ill immediately after hearing the news. He was seventy years old, and he never got sick again.
Jiang Mo has a good sense of old Feng Ge. He is a rare sober person in this decadent imperial court. He has devoted his whole life to Dachen. Without him, Dachen's present would definitely be different from what he saw.
After returning to the palace, Jiang Mo asked Eunuch An to bring the roster of Chunwei High School this time, and when he opened the roster, he saw the name Feng Qing in it. This name was at the top of all the names. He was the member of this session. .
Jiang Mo was not surprised that none of Feng Ge's sons in his generation was qualified to be an official. Since his son was not good enough, Feng Ge simply raised his own grandson, and Feng Qing was his favorite junior.
A few days after Chunwei passed, the official in charge of the review had sorted out the answer sheets, and when he turned his head, he saw the popular man beside the emperor, Eunuch An, standing at the door.
Eunuch An bowed, "Your Majesty sent our family to collect the top three answers, and I would like to ask Mr. Yuan to help me."
Lord Yuan suddenly realized that His Majesty has cleaned up the court again recently, and many positions have been vacated. Now is the time for employing people, and it is inevitable that His Majesty attaches great importance to the results of this imperial examination. He took the sealed test paper and handed it to Eunuch An, "What did Eunuch An say? Since His Majesty asked for it, there is no inconvenience. The adults have read the examination papers, and here are all your Majesty wants."
"Then My family will thank you first."
After watching Eunuch An leave, Lord Yuan lowered his eyes, the sky in the capital is about to change, and His Majesty is afraid that this time he will deal with the Lin family ruthlessly. He sighed, his eyes were foggy, after waiting for so long, he finally made him wait until this day.
Eunuch An not only brought the top three exam papers to Jiang Mo, but also brought a complaint.
Eunuch An appealed, "Your Majesty, Master Yuan entrusted his slaves to deliver this to His Majesty, saying that he only believed in Your Majesty." A
thin piece of paper with yellowed edges but well-preserved, can be seen from the age and the owner. For his attention, Eunuch An held a piece of pleading paper lightly, as if the paper was heavier than a thousand catties.
Jiang Mo didn't speak. He half-kneeled in front of the desk, and carefully traced the red plums on the white paper. In a piece of pure white snow, a little red suddenly appeared, and the red bloomed like a flame. One, two, three... Gradually reflected The whole snow field was red.
Thin smoke billowed from the censer carved with double dragons playing with pearls, and the expression of the young emperor could not be seen clearly in the smog. Eunuch An knelt down, held the paper with both hands above his head, and remained motionless.
At this moment, time seems to stand still.
"Eunuch An," Jiang Mo stopped writing, slowly put the pen on the pen stand, and then looked at the person kneeling below, "You work by my side, you know what kind of person I am, why do you commit crimes knowingly?
" The slave is guilty," Mr. An kowtowed heavily, "the slave is willing to accept the punishment." He pleaded guilty but did not take back what he said. He was sent to the palace since he was a child. Here, he may die at any time, but His Majesty let him see the light and led him to escape. He will never betray His Majesty in his life, but there are some things he must do.
Jiang Mo stared at him for a while, then raised his hand, "Here."
Eunuch An took a few steps on his knees, and respectfully handed over the pleading paper to that jade-white hand.
The painting was received and the complaint paper was placed on the desk. Jiang Mo waved his hand to let Eunuch An go down first. The moment the door was closed, Eunuch An heard the majestic voice of the emperor from the imperial study room: "This is not an example."
This is not going to be pursued.
Standing at the door, Eunuch An felt that his eyes were a little moist. He wiped his face, and the little eunuch who was waiting on the side quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Godfather, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Eunuch An shook his head, patted He patted the little eunuch on the shoulder, "Do things well, remember, our whole life is to serve His Majesty." The
little eunuch stood up straight, "Yes."
Jiang Mo didn't know yet, his unintentional move made the palace There are a few more people who are loyal to him. He doesn't punish Eunuch An just because he gave everything for the original owner. He doesn't mind letting him go on a small matter.
Master Yuan asked Eunuch An to submit a case that happened more than ten years ago, and the perpetrator was none other than the Lin family.
Eunuch An knows that Jiang Mo knows that the victim in this case has a certain relationship with Eunuch An, but Jiang Mo will not deliberately investigate. After this incident, Eunuch An will only be more loyal to him. Anyway, he has to deal with the Lin family. By the way, it is not difficult to solve a case more than ten years ago.
"What is Your Majesty thinking?" After peeling a grape, Gu Zheng poked Jiang Mo's face lightly with his fingers soaked in cold water.
Jiang Mo raised his eyes, there were tiny drops of water on his face, Gu Zheng picked up a soft handkerchief and wiped it off carefully, "Don't move."
Jiang Mo didn't move and let him toss, Gu Zheng praised with satisfaction, "Okay Be good—"
"Gu Qing is getting more and more courageous." Jiang Mo opened his mouth and bit the peeled grapes that were handed to his mouth, and the tip of his tongue inadvertently brushed his lips and fingers.
"Your Majesty is letting me down, so I'm naturally not afraid." Gu Zheng withdrew his hand, covered it with a wide sleeve robe, squeezed the finger that had just been touched, and it was numb.
Gu Zheng is indeed different from before. He is becoming more and more undisguised in front of Jiang Mo. His true character, his possessiveness towards Jiang Mo, his paranoia...everything is displayed in Jiang Mo's eyes. In front of Mo. He removed all disguises, and only hoped that the young emperor could accept his true self.
The result was gratifying. Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Zheng's face became more and more unbearable. How fortunate he met a person who was worthy of treating him sincerely. What was even more fortunate was that this person also fell in love with him.
"Cousin, stop laughing, I'm panicking about your cousin." Gu Qiao rubbed his arms, goosebumps arose.
Gu Zheng suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at Gu Qiao expressionlessly. Gu Qiao immediately faltered, "I shut up, I shut up, you can laugh if you want, don't worry about me."
After not sitting for a while, Gu Qiao Unable to hold back, "Cousin, who are we waiting for here?" He was curious, as if there were seven or eight paws scratching in his heart, who is it worth General Gu to spend so much time waiting for?
After training early this morning, Gu Zheng left the soldiers in the battalion and rushed to the capital. Gu Zheng spent less and less time in the barracks recently. Gu Qiao tried to stop Gu Zheng several times and asked him what he was doing recently What, I didn't stop people, I managed to stop people before Gu Zheng left the barracks today, and he refused to let go of this opportunity no matter what.
Gu Zheng was so entangled that he had no choice but to bring him along, so the two waited together on the second floor of "Yipinxiang".
"Don't make noise." Gu Zheng glanced at the sky, guessed that the time was coming, poured a full pot of tea, his movements were smooth and smooth, and Gu Qiao was taken aback for a while, no, cousin, when did you carry us behind your back? Secretly learned kung fu?
"Kuukou—" The door was knocked regularly, Gu Zheng put down the tea he had brewed, walked to the door himself, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a young man in simple clothes. The young man was thin but could not hide his youthful temperament. A simple green shirt gave him a handsome and elegant demeanor. The young man and Gu Zheng whispered something, with a smile on his face. Walking in with a smile.
When they got closer, Gu Qiao realized that the young man not only has outstanding temperament, but also has first-class appearance. There is no red mark on his face that symbolizes brother. Was it for this young man in the barracks? For a man! ! !
No matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, Gu Qiao didn't show the slightest bit on his face. Seeing Gu Zheng put one hand on the young man's back and walked towards him with his arms around him, he thought to himself: That's true.
Although dissatisfied with Gu Qiao's disturbing their world, Gu Zheng still introduced them solemnly: "Momo, this is my cousin, Gu Qiao, this is Momo, Jiang Mo.
" , Jiang Mo? Gu Qiao chewed the name in his heart, why did he feel a little familiar?
Jiang Mo! ! !
Isn't this the name of the marriage partner who only had one name?
It turned out to be a brother.
Gu Qiao greeted Jiang Mo in a daze: "Hi, sister-in-law."
Gu Zheng eased his face, hugged the man to the table, and explained to Jiang Mo: "Gu Qiao insists on coming, I miss you all. We will meet sooner or later, so let him come."
Jiang Mo nodded, and greeted Gu Qiao with a smile, and after the two of them were seated, the shop waiter brought hot refreshments.
Gu Zheng picked up a green leaf-shaped refreshment and fed it to Jiang Mo, "This is new from the tea house, try it."
Jiang Mo took Gu Zheng's hand, took a bite, the mouth was soft and glutinous, and he took the tea with him. The fragrance was sweet but not greasy, Jiang Mo took the rest away in one gulp, and smiled at Gu Zheng, his eyebrows and eyes curved.
Gu Qiao stared dumbfounded, is this still his unreasonable murderous cousin? This familiar skill of taking care of people is obviously not practiced in a day, no wonder there is no objection from my cousin after the imperial decree is issued, obviously I have never been close to my brother before, so it turns out that I saw it right a long time ago?
Gu Qiao felt that his eyes were going to be blinded, he lowered his head and silently stuffed a mouthful of snacks, tears streaming down his face: I'm so stupid, really, why can't I think about coming here with my cousin, I'd better go back to the barracks .
Gu Qiao couldn't bear it anymore, and left in a hurry, Gu Zheng snorted softly, "For he has good eyesight."
Jiang Mo poked him with his finger, dumbfounded, "Why do you even eat my cousin's jealousy?" In the past, in front of outsiders Those who have restrained themselves have intensified today.
Gu Zheng grabbed his hand, "I don't care, Momo can only look at me."
"Okay, just look at you."
