After a while.
Luo Chen stared at the backs of Gu Lan and the old eunuch walking towards the palace, his face gloomy, but a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
The subordinate next to him came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Mao would actually refute your face for this guy. Is this kid really valued by His Majesty?"
Luo Chen glared at him.
Although he felt this way in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and scolded: "This kind of arrogant scholar, at first glance, he is a monster who deceives the king! Once he enters the palace, he will be a disaster..."
"That's what the Lord said!" The subordinate shrank his head: "Then...should we follow?"
"Let's go on patrol first! Later in the day, I'll ask the concubine for a decree and go over there to see what he's doing."
"yes."
The Commander-in-Chief has a relationship with the Dowager Empress, and all close friends know about it.
Otherwise, Luo Chen would not have been able to become the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army with his strength at the early stage of the imperial rank.
...
"Except for the ladies of the previous generation, there don't seem to be many people of your Majesty's generation in the palace, right?"
Gu Lan looked around at the beautiful scenery of Baihua Garden and talked to her husband.
This Mao old man just stood up for himself.
Although it is completely contrary to his wish to leave as soon as possible, it does not prevent his kindness from winning his favor.
"Yes, Your Majesty has not yet established a wife, so the palace is naturally deserted."
Eunuch Mao said and looked at Gu Lan with a smile: "To be honest, young master, you are the first young gentleman our family has ever seen whom His Majesty has invited into the palace!"
Gu Lan's eyes made him feel scared!
He twitched his lips: "Ha...haha...Your Majesty just wants to see how good he is at playing chess. Father-in-law, please don't misunderstand me!"
Eunuch Mao smiled and said nothing.
"There is actually another person in the palace who is our imperial master during the Dajing Dynasty in the East Palace Study Room, Grand Tutor Su Huasu."
"Oh! I've seen Taifu before." Gu Lan replied.
"Young Master, have you met the Grand Tutor?"
Eunuch Mao stopped, and the way he looked at Gu Lan suddenly changed!
He was more solemn than before, and he even felt like he was looking at the future king.
Father-in-law, do you need it? It's just a coincidence. It's not like meeting the parents... Gu Lan bowed slightly and said, "father-in-law, please don't misunderstand. This matter has nothing to do with His Majesty. Speaking of which, I have never met Your Majesty!"
"Well... Mr. Gu doesn't need to tell our family about these things. We are just an old servant." After Eunuch Mao pondered for a moment, he smiled again and continued to lead Gu Lan forward.
I don’t know if I believe it or not.
The scene inside the palace is far more exquisite and magnificent than what you see outside. After passing through the imperial garden, which is evergreen all year round, you come to the Baihua Garden where the empress often relaxes, and then to the Golden Pavilion of Fragrant Pavilion surrounded by water pavilions and terraces.
"This palace is so magnificent."
When walking past Luanfeng Hall, Gu Lan sighed softly.
"Mr. Gu, this is the palace where queens of all dynasties have lived. It is naturally the first of the hundred palaces, second only to His Majesty's Yangxin Palace."
After listening to Eunuch Mao's explanation, Gu Lan nodded thoughtfully.
The residence of the queens of the past dynasties...I remember that there should be one living in Cining Palace during this time. That empress seemed to be not a simple person...
Gu Lan recalled the plot in the original work when he was about to become an eunuch.
I thought of such a character in the deep palace.
However, this kind of royal grievances has little to do with me... Just think about it in my mind, they can toss it out as much as they like!
At this time.
A female voice came: "Eunuch Mao, you are busy!"
Gu Lan looked over and saw that she was a female official who had been waiting here earlier. She was well-dressed and behaved elegantly.
The female officer exchanged a few words with Mr. Mao.
Then Eunuch Mao left with a smile, and she became Gu Lan's new leader.
This ancient imperial city is really convoluted, and there are still several people to connect it... Gu Lan complained in his heart and asked: "My lord, I don't know where the chess game is now. Next..."
"Master, don't be anxious, I will take you there right now!"
The female officer smiled and invited Gu Lan to a small road.
Walking around a bamboo forest, we came to the pavilion in the royal garden.
"Sir, please sit down. I will bring the things here."
Gu Lan was stunned when he heard this!
thing? Do you call your empress something?
Damn...
After Gu Lan was slightly shocked, he no longer cared... It was just a game of chess anyway. He just wanted to leave a good-for-nothing impression on the Clamp Empress and then go home!
However.
The female officer returned within a short while, holding a stack of memorials in her hands. The two young eunuchs behind her also held pens, ink, paper and inkstones!
"???"
Gu Lan said in confusion: "Your Majesty called me here to play chess, isn't it? What does this mean?"
The female officer blinked and said, "Playing chess? I don't know that slave... The slave's order is to submit these to the young master for review. Maybe... there is another order in this?"
After the female officer and the two young eunuchs put down their things.
Then he bowed and left.
A gentle breeze came in the pavilion, blowing only Gu Lan's hair, and no one else.
"Approval of memorials?!"
Gu Lan raised his eyebrows, briefly looked through these documents, and found that they were indeed memorials presented by the courtiers!
He was even more confused... What was the empress doing?
until!
Gu Lan saw a piece of white paper underneath the memorial.
There is a beautiful handwriting on it.
Gu Lan felt slightly familiar... Is this the word empress?
Why does it look like I've seen it before? There's a familiar feeling...
"Yesterday I returned to the palace from the Su Mansion and learned that Gu Sheng is also a scholar. He has the same skills as chess, literature, and governance. Since I want to (cross out)...since Master Zhang intends to recommend you, I can't help you. It saves my uncle’s face.”
"Today's memorials are all transcripts. You can feel free to use them. I will check them out in person when I am better."
Gu Lan finished reading this "imperial edict".
The surprise and doubt in my heart calmed down.
"The empress is ill and it is inconvenient to see foreign ministers... But this old master is powerful enough to recommend me to the level where he can directly comment on the memorial. Hiss, I really thank him so much... "
Gu Lan greeted Zhang Qingwei in his heart.
Immediately, he filled the pen with thick ink and opened the memorial.
certainly.
There is no way he can fulfill the Empress's mission honestly!
Disrupt my time at home with my wife, just to make me work for you? Damn it, I don’t want to be an official. Isn’t this being squeezed by you in vain? !
"Since there is no chess game to show off, it should be possible to 'flexibly show off' in the memorial!"
Gu Lan secretly thought, the corners of his lips raised.
then!
He will write on the memorial:
"I think your Majesty should agree to the military and political strategy that will be implemented in five days, because what happens in five days will be known in ten days..."
"As for how to deal with the rebels after they are caught, I think they should be imprisoned for ten years, so that they will not be able to come out to cause trouble again for ten years..."
"If your Majesty is willing to spend a few days to check the Tianji Pavilion enshrinement, you will find that you have wasted a few days of time. I think... it is better for your Majesty to decide!"
"..."
Gu Lan used nonsense literature to its full potential. With his bright eyes and quick writing, he poured out his sincere advice to the empress on the memorial!
However!
To his surprise, as Gu Lan put pen to paper on the memorial, a series of pleasant mechanical sounds also sounded in his mind!
