Chapter 158 Gu Lanzhi Hates Trouble the Most

Gu Lanzhi was wearing the formal court dress of a marquis, with three layers inside and three layers outside. It was really annoying. Not to mention it was hot, but all these things were very heavy, really like wearing a layer of plywood.

After Gu Lanzhi entered the palace with the ministers, his irritability reached its peak.

He was already in a bad mood, and he also heard many court officials talking about Li Beichen, saying that Li Beichen's throne was not obtained legitimately, and that Li Beichen was too cruel to his brothers and nephews.

Gu Lanzhi was already upset by the things he was wearing, and now after hearing the discussions of those ministers, Gu Lanzhi really couldn't control his temper and started yelling at those ministers.

"Haven't you seen the late emperor's decree of succession? If someone robbed you of your throne, can you still be kind to that person?

When you say that the emperor was ruthless, why don't you say that Li Beirui had a vicious mind and had been trying to seize the throne for so many years?

Don't you know that Li Beirui has confined the emperor to his own fiefdom?

Li Beirui didn't have any evidence against the emperor, and he had no legitimate reason to deal with him. If the emperor hadn't been so careful, he would have died at Li Beirui's hands long ago. Don't you understand this?

How many of you have heads worthy of being chopped off if you are here discussing the emperor's throne?

If you have doubts about the throne, why didn't you say anything on the day the emperor seized the throne? Today is the emperor's coronation ceremony, and you are discussing it?

Do you want me to take you to meet the emperor right now so that you can have a good talk with him?

You are incapable of doing the work, but you are the ones who gossip behind people's backs."

Gu Lanzhi was already irritable, and coupled with his defense of Li Beichen, he was not polite at all to these ministers. He also spoke particularly loudly, so that even the ministers who were far away could hear him clearly.

Gu Lanzhi didn't care what others thought, and shouted to the imperial guards: "Come here, arrest these ministers who are talking about His Majesty, and keep them under guard. We will interrogate them after the ceremony is over."

Those people who were talking about the emperor were already extremely ashamed under Gu Lanzhi's questioning. Now when they heard that the Marquis actually had them imprisoned, they immediately started quarreling.

"Why are you imprisoning us? Even if you are a marquis, you have no right to command the Royal Guards." One of the ministers who was most enthusiastic in discussing the matter said loudly.

"Yes, yes. Even if you are the Marquis of Dingguo, you have no right to command the Imperial Guards. Even if you hold a high position, you are still a subject. How can you do this?"

"Yes, why are you detaining us?"

The Imperial Guards ignored these ministers and directly arrested them.

These people, whose arms were twisted, refused to obey and shouted to the Imperial Guards: "You are the Imperial Guards, not Gu Hou's soldiers. How can you obey Gu Hou in everything?"

"We are courtiers. You have no right to imprison us."

A small leader of the Imperial Guards, who was leading the group, said in a voice that was just loud enough for the people around him to hear, "Your Majesty has already given orders. As long as Marquis Gu gives orders, we will just follow his orders."

With just one sentence, the originally noisy scene became quiet.

Gu Lanzhi also raised his eyebrows unexpectedly after hearing the words of the little leader.

He really didn't expect Li Beichen to have such an order. Who were those people? The Imperial Guards!

Those were the Imperial Guards who only obeyed the emperor, but now Gu Lanzhi could actually command the Imperial Guards as well.

It goes without saying what these ministers are thinking.

Gu Lanzhi is not in the mood to care what others think or how others see him. As long as he is in a good mood, he will no longer be upset.

It just so happened that the little leader's words pleased Gu Lanzhi, and Gu Lanzhi's originally irritable mood immediately became sunny.

Seeing that those people who were so audacious as to discuss the emperor at this time were taken away, Gu Lanzhi turned around with a slight smile on his face and continued walking towards the palace.

But the other ministers looked at Gu Lanzhi differently.

Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, Gu Lanzhi stood in his seat, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"My Lord, how are you these days?"

Gu Lanzhi turned his head and saw Minister Yin's smiling face, with Yin Heng following beside him.

At this time, Minister Yin came over to talk to Gu Lanzhi, and Gu Lanzhi knew why Minister Yin came.

It's nothing more than wanting him to sit more firmly on the position of Shangshu. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is not a big deal, and there is nothing that Gu Lanzhi cannot tolerate.

"It's okay." Gu Lanzhi replied to Minister Yin politely, then looked at Yin Heng behind Minister Yin.

"How is my sister doing recently? She hasn't been back to the mansion for many days.

After returning home today, my brother-in-law told my sister that the new mansion would be renovated soon, and asked her to go there with the first lady when she had time and pick out a courtyard that she liked.

Just tell the Madam what you want to put in the yard, and we will prepare it for her."

Gu Lanzhi said this on purpose in front of Minister Yin. He just wanted to tell Minister Yin and Yin Heng clearly that even though Gu Nanwan was already married, the Marquis' Mansion would always be Gu Nanwan's home.

No matter what happens to the Gu family, there will always be a place for Gu Nanwan.

This is also a disguised warning to the father and son. Don't think that just because the incident with the Minister's wife is over, they can ignore Gu Nanwan.

Yin Heng smiled and bowed to Gu Lanzhi, "Don't worry, my Lord, I will definitely pass on the message to my wife."

Gu Lanzhi also smiled and nodded to Yin Heng.

In fact, Gu Lanzhi had a good impression of Yin Heng. Although Yin Heng had not done enough in the matter between his mother and his wife, Yin Heng did abide by the agreement between him and Gu's uncle and there were no other women.

Gu Lanzhi couldn't keep dwelling on this point. As long as Gu Lanzhi was there, he was not afraid that Yin Heng would let Gu Nanwan down.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then someone came to remind them to return to their seats because the ceremony was about to begin.

Gu Lanzhi straightened his clothes and waited for Li Beichen to arrive with his hands down.

This was Gu Lanzhi's first time attending such a formal ceremony, and he was very curious about the various etiquette of the ceremony.

He was not the only one who was curious. Many viewers in the live broadcast room woke up early on purpose to watch this rare coronation ceremony.

But when the eunuch shouted "kneel", Gu Lanzhi was a little troubled.

It’s not that Gu Lanzhi didn’t want to kneel, but the clothes he wore restricted his movements. Kneeling down was quite strenuous. After kneeling down, he had to tidy up the clothes in front of him to make sure there were no folds, which was very troublesome.

Gu Lanzhi hates trouble the most.
