Gu Lan moved to live in the palace, and only a few people including Lao Yangtou and Lin Taner knew about it for the time being.
He also did not give up his residence on Dongzhi Street.
According to Care Lan, if he pisses off the lady again, he can still have a place to go, so he won't have to sleep on the sofa after being kicked out of the palace...
certainly.
After Mu Yuyan knew what he was thinking, she was dissatisfied and punished him.
It's a pity that the time to clean up is at night, which is the time when Gu Lan is like a fish in water and becomes more and more courageous.
Her Majesty the Empress, who is only at the peak of her immortal power, is not his opponent yet.
For several days in a row, Gu Lan went to Dongzhi Street and walked outside during the day, and returned to the palace to check in at night.
Soon, the news spread!
Her Majesty, the most beautiful empress of Dajing, actually found a pretty-faced scholar to be her husband-in-law!
After all, Mu Yuyan had previously forced her way into the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain in Shuzhou in order to rescue her husband, but she was seriously injured fighting the spatial barrier.
Is it possible that such a touching love story was created for such a mere pretty boy?
Everyone said they couldn't accept it.
They are all optimistic about the most powerful man in Dajing, the mysterious enshrinement of Tianji Pavilion, who is a good match for Her Majesty the Empress.
"The prince came to see your majesty again today?" Eunuch Mao saw Gu Lan at the gate of the palace and showed a chrysanthemum-like smile.
"Is my father-in-law on duty again today?"
"Your Majesty is joking. Your Majesty is currently in the Yangxin Palace. Do you need me to lead the way?"
"No, no, father-in-law, you are busy." Gu Lan waved his hand and refused, and went straight to the Nourishing Heart Hall under the hot eyes of the guards.
He was named King of Jingyang, and everyone knew about it under the imperial edict.
The guards in the palace looked at Gu Lan with envy.
This is the winner in life. He is just a weak scholar, but with a face that is only slightly more handsome than himself and others, he suddenly became the king!
Faced with such a role model for our generation, the king of soft rice, which guard would not regard him as an idol?
Not only the guards, but also the officials in the court looked at Gu Lan with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Occasionally on the way to the morning court, you would see him coming out of the palace calmly.
Everyone is a talent selected through various levels of imperial examinations, or a military general with a high level of cultivation who has entered the palace as an official.
Seeing that such a helpless scholar has become His Majesty's guest, are you angry?
Of course the ministers were angry, they were so angry just by looking at him!
At the court meeting, many people either implicitly or directly made many memorials to Mu Yuyan, the general content of which was to bluntly state that Gu Lan was not worthy of Her Majesty the Empress.
In their eyes, Gu Lan is just a judge. Even if he is the first among the judges, he is just a judge.
Among the ministers, there are few who are more talented than the number one scholar. Who can compare to him, Gu Lan, in terms of literary skills and military skills?
Her Majesty, the Empress, favors a pretty boy so much because she is greedy for male lust!
Especially the unprecedented move to become a king. This move is too reckless and simply outrageous.
From their point of view, Mu Yuyan is just a prostitute, but they don't feel bad about it. Dajing's country's fortunes have been bleak, but it has finally improved recently... She even named a pretty boy a king with a different surname. What a nonsense!
Unfortunately, after Mu Yuyan read these suggestions once, she laughed them off and ignored them.
This type of memorial was selected by her, and all of them were placed on the corner of the table.
Ministers: "..."
As time passed, the ministers also became aware of her attitude, and gradually there were no voices in the court that opposed Gu Lan's appointment as king, and the fact that the empress favored the evil villain.
Mu Yuyan thought that the matter had gradually calmed down, so she ignored it.
She has no interest in explaining to these general ministers who only know how to exaggerate, how talented her husband is, and he is the best in the world in terms of literature, Taoism and military strategy!
However, it is not that there are no discerning people among the ministers.
Sima Xiangguo was one of them. He knew some details about Gu Lan, so he could not object to Mu Yuyan being with him.
On the contrary, every time he saw Gu Lan, he would give him an ambiguous and mysterious smile.
but.
Soon some rumors spread in the capital.
Many tavern waiters and storytellers wonder if they have received illegal money. When they complain, they just use one word - work hard!
"Speaking of our Empress of Dajing, she actually found a white-faced scholar to be her male favorite. Without showing any merit, she directly made her a king with a different surname. This is simply confusing the emperor!"
"That's right, I heard that this pretty boy is extremely handsome and extremely handsome. His Majesty must have been charmed by this pretty boy and made a decision that went against his ancestors."
Of course, some people also raised objections: "This man is a talented man and a beautiful woman, so why is it your turn to object?"
"I heard that pretty boy's name is Gu Lan, right? He's not as good-for-nothing as you say."
"Not only is he handsome, but he is also Jieyuan from Qiuwei last year. And I heard that in the big flower-picking thief case some time ago, it was Master Gu who, as the imperial envoy, found out the secrets from the criminals and saved so many people."
"Aren't these all achievements? Why are they so useless when it comes to your mouth?"
He left immediately to express his disdain: "You also said that you just interrogated a criminal. What kind of credit is this?"
"If Xuan Tiansi hadn't captured the person, what credit would he have for the interrogation? Besides, the culprit was obviously Xuan Tiansi. Your Majesty didn't let Xuan Tiansi interrogate him. Instead, he asked a white-faced scholar to interrogate him as an imperial envoy. Isn't that right? Shady story?"
"Let me see. This pretty boy must have hooked up with Her Majesty the Empress at that time. As for the interrogation, it's all just for gold plating."
"That's right! What does Xuan Tiansi do? Isn't it just for punishment and interrogation? Can't we just leave it to them? Do we have to hand it over to a scholar for interrogation?"
For a time, many people thought it made sense!
In addition, Gu Lan visited the palace too frequently during this period and often stayed at the Yangxin Palace at night, which made many people jealous!
From their point of view, Gu Lan was protected by the empress, and they were jealous and had no choice. In addition, the memorial to remonstrate was ignored by His Majesty, so naturally they had no choice but to join forces and throw dirty water on him first.
In this case, even if a discerning person sees something strange, there is no way to explain it clearly.
The main reason was that Gu Lan was too stable in the past. People only knew that he was an imperial envoy and cured a criminal.
But I was also led by a thoughtful person, and I couldn't distinguish right from wrong.
There was such a loud noise in the capital, so of course Gu Lan had heard about it.
He showed a meaningful smile and thought to himself: "The chief culprit who stirred up trouble can be cleaned directly by my wife..."
He didn't take these rumors to heart at all, after all, not a single hair would be missing, but now the lady's court is his own court, and using this east wind to sweep away the serious illness, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
