Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 177 It looks good now, but who knows what will happen in the future

Just like Gu Lanzhi said before, if the Third Madam could behave herself, Gu Lanzhi would not want to do anything to her.

But if she had to go to Gu Lanzhi to seek a sense of existence, Gu Lanzhi was really willing to give her a ride, even though the Third Madam was the wife of his Third Uncle.

He took good care of Gu Shurui, so he could give an explanation to his original uncle.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Gu Shurui no longer does anything to betray him.

But judging from the current situation, Gu Shurui probably won’t do that.

People are like heaven or hell in one thought, and they will learn the skills of the people they follow.

When Gu Shurui was a child, he followed Gu Lanzhi. He had a good character and always followed Gu Lanzhi. Although he would make mistakes, they were just the mistakes of a child and were harmless.

But ever since Gu Lanzhi left Kyoto for the battlefield, Gu Shurui slowly changed around the Third Madam.

If Gu Shurui could continue to keep a certain distance from his mother like he is now, he would still get better.

Gu Shurui helped the still confused Third Madam out of the dining hall. The First Madam looked at the Third Madam's back, patted her chest, and looked up at the sky through the dining hall window.

Then he put his hands together and bowed to the sky, muttering, "God, please calm down, please calm down."

Gu Lanzhi looked at the eldest lady's actions with amusement, and accidentally glanced at Gu Jingcheng, and saw Gu Jingcheng's inquiring eyes looking at him.

Gu Lanzhi curled the corners of his mouth slightly. This little guy has always been very perceptive. He either saw his little movements or was suspicious.

But Gu Lanzhi didn't plan to tell Gu Jingcheng about his own affairs. He was still too young, and the less he knew, the better.

"Lanzhi, tell me, what's going on?"

After the eldest lady bowed to the sky, she looked at Gu Lanzhi nervously.

Gu Lanzhi shrugged and said, "God doesn't like the Third Madam, so he'll teach her a lesson."

"Is this really the case? I've never heard of such a thing before!" The eldest lady still looked frightened.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. Now you've seen it." Gu Lanzhi looked at the eldest lady with a smile.

Seeing Gu Lanzhi's indifferent look, the eldest lady also felt that this matter seemed to be related to Gu Lanzhi, but... it should be impossible.

After thinking for a long time, the eldest lady decided to keep silent.

It is better not to discuss such evil things. It would be bad if something you say offends God.

Gu Jingcheng kept paying attention to Gu Lanzhi's expression and didn't say anything.

"By the way, is there any news about my sister?" Gu Lanzhi changed the subject.

When the eldest lady heard Gu Lanzhi asking about Gu Nanwan, she came out of her previous surprise and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Your sister came back the day after His Majesty ascended the throne. She stayed at home for a day and returned to the Shangshu Mansion in the evening.

Your sister originally wanted to wait for you to come back and talk to you, but it was already quite late and you hadn’t returned home, so I let your sister go first.

Your sister said that you told Yin Heng to come home and take a look?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded, "Before His Majesty ascended the throne, Minister Yin brought his brother-in-law to talk to me, and I asked my sister."

The eldest lady's smile disappeared, "Minister Yin did this on purpose, didn't he?"

The eldest lady also came from a large family and had been in charge of the general's mansion for so many years, so it was easy for her to see this.

Gu Lanzhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, Minister Yin just wants to make his position as Minister more stable, it's not a big deal.

Besides, there is no problem with the relationship between my sister and her husband. It is not a big deal if Minister Yin wants to gain some benefits through his relationship with our family. Let him do what he wants. "

Gu Jingcheng, who had been silent, spoke at this time.

"I think that this Minister Yin may not be able to keep his position as Minister."

Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Jingcheng with interest, "What do you mean?"

Although Gu Jingcheng is still young, he will take over the position of Marquis Dingguo. In this case, Gu Lanzhi feels that it is necessary to cultivate Gu Jingcheng's sensitivity to the court as soon as possible.

If Gu Jingcheng is willing to talk, then let him talk it out. If there is anything wrong with what he says, Gu Lanzhi can also give him some guidance.

"It was only by luck that Minister Yin was able to take the position of Minister. He personally has no outstanding abilities.

Our current emperor is not an ordinary person, and Minister Yin... His Majesty probably won't look down on him."

"Yo huh? Tell me more about it."

Gu Jingcheng's evaluation of Li Beichen aroused Gu Lanzhi's interest.

"You can tell by just looking at the officials that Your Majesty dealt with after he ascended the throne!

Let’s not mention those who were in cahoots with the previous emperor, let’s just talk about the other officials who were demoted, all of whom were people who were just sitting there doing nothing, taking bribes, and not doing any real work.

Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has taken such drastic measures to rectify the court. Even if there are no suitable officials to replace them, Your Majesty will first take those people down. This shows that Your Majesty is extremely courageous and bold. "

"That's right. If Your Majesty does not have courage, you will never be able to get the throne back." The eldest lady interrupted with a smile.

Gu Jingcheng also smiled and continued, "The people that Your Majesty punished had complicated families, and Your Majesty was not afraid. He acted quickly, fiercely and accurately, without giving those families any chance to breathe.

Although it had a bit of the flavor of a new official making three big moves upon taking office, it did indeed clean up the court.

It’s just that the officials who are still in office are all trembling with fear, but it’s better than the previous chaos.”

Gu Lanzhi smiled and nodded, "It seems that you have a good impression of His Majesty!"

Gu Jingcheng shook his head and said, "It looks good now, but who knows what it will be like in the future!

When the previous emperor first ascended the throne, he also punished some officials, but not as many as the current emperor, and they were all justified."

Gu Lanzhi looked at Gu Jingcheng curiously, "Don't you go to class every day? How come you know so much about the court affairs?"

Gu Jingcheng took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The teacher would analyze the affairs of the court with us from time to time. My classmates are all children of various families, and they also bring a lot of news from home."

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows and nodded in understanding. This was not surprising.

Gu Lanzhi did not say any more to Gu Jingcheng, but looked at the eldest lady.

"Madam, when I enter the palace, I want to pass the title of Marquis to Cheng'er."

Hearing this, the eldest lady first looked at Gu Lanzhi, then at Gu Jingcheng, and then nodded.

"Of course I should, but brother, you and His Majesty... When is His Majesty going to issue the imperial decree to make him the queen?"

"In a few months."

"In a few months? Doesn't His Majesty want to make you the queen now?" The eldest lady asked, staring at Gu Lanzhi.

“I still have some things to deal with, which is not appropriate for me to do as queen.

When I have finished my work, the imperial decree to crown me as queen will arrive."
