Gu Nanjin calmed down and felt that he should still focus on Gu Jue.
Chu Qianchen is just a wife family, that is, the back house guarding the Chen Prince's Mansion. Apart from speaking, the mother and the Crown Princess, he cannot cause any storm.
Gu Nanjin made a gesture to the eunuch dressed by the servant beside him. The eunuch immediately understood and quickly prepared a teapot, tea cup and tea, and served tea for all the three masters.
Gu Jue could see what Gu Nanjin was thinking at first sight, and felt interesting in his heart. He looked at Chu Qianchen with a soft smile.
Gu Nanjin didn't know, but Gu Jue knew it best in his heart. However, he had never told Chu Qianchen what to do, but this girl seemed to know exactly what Prince Chen's Mansion wanted, and could understand the bottom line between the emperor and the prince, and at the same time it was just right.
This girl obviously has claws, but her long and delicate face has grown, making others foolishly ignore her.
It's better to be ignored than to be wary of others.
Gu Jue's lips bent, and a graceful curve was drawn.
The folding fan in his hand stopped, looked at Gu Nanjin with a faint expression and asked back, "What do the prince want?"
Gu Jueming clearly put the problem back to Gu Nanjin.
After the words came to an end, the pavilion fell into silence.
There are still people coming and going on the streets outside the pavilion, making it very lively.
Inside and outside the pavilion, it seems like two worlds.
The fragrant flower tea has been served, but no one drinks it or has no character, so it is just put on the stone table.
"..." Gu Nanjin's eyes became a little deeper again, and his heart was like a mirror.
He knew that it would be meaningless to continue asking questions. He would only repeat the previous deadlock and be blocked back again by the Ninth Emperor's uncle with a self-destruction.
The Nine Emperor Uncle’s meaning is very clear. He will not expose this matter lightly. He wants to take out the chips first and then discuss other things.
Gu Nanjin felt his temples hurt suddenly and thought with a serious expression.
In fact, from the way he left the palace to here, I have thought about it repeatedly. Whether it is the best possibility or the worst ending, I have thought about the best conditions he can offer...
"Uncle Jiu," Gu Nanjin said carefully, "The Xuanjia Army has been back to Beijing for a long time. Why would you give the Fengtai Camp to them as your garrison? What does Uncle Jiu think?"
Most of the imperial guards stationed in the capital were stationed in the three camps of Fengtai Camp, Xishan Camp and Lucheng Camp. Gu Nanjin was very sincere in giving up Fengtai Camp, which was enough to shock the court, which was unique in the history of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Gu Nanjin stared at Gu Jue with bright eyes.
Chu Qianchen's index finger gently plucked in the large celadon bowl again, and a goldfish thrust in the water, happily swinging its big apricot leaf-like tail, splashing out a few drops of water...
"Haha." Chu Qianchen chuckled, not knowing what he was laughing at.
Gu Nanjin: “…”
Gu Nanjin's heartbeat was inexplicably dripped, and he felt a vague premonition.
"Prince, how many people are there in Xuanjia Camp now?" Chu Qianchen turned his head to ask Gu Jue with a smile. He seemed to be good at it, as if he was curious, and as if he asked casually.
Gu Jue said: "There are 30,000 people who come back to Beijing with me."
Chu Qianchen twisted the pair of beautiful Liuye eyebrows and said with some worries: "It's only 30,000? Is Fengtai Camp very big? Only 30,000 people in such a large military camp, so how empty it is. It's not good, right?"
Gu Nanjin: “…”
Gu Nanjin had long guessed that Gu Jue would probably not respond so readily. He was waiting for Gu Jue to speak out so that he had room to discuss further.
Gu Nanjin looked back and forth at Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen.
They definitely had no chance to discuss it just now, and they didn't even look at each other, but Gu Jue let Chu Qianchen speak here, but she was not negotiating seriously, as if she was just talking casually, making Gu Nanjin more and more unpredictable Gu Jue's attitude.
Gu Nanjin felt his forehead hurt even more, and his mood was like a chaotic goldfish rushing around in the water.
His fists clenched a little more in his sleeves, and he forced a smile and replied: "Fengtai Camp is indeed too big..."
Gu Nanjin's throat was tight, so he could only agree to let Gu Jue bring more soldiers from the north.
He spoke politely with a high voice: "My father also said that the Jiu Shu is in the country, and he must rely on the Jiu Shu to protect the capital."
What he implies is that this is also what the emperor agreed to.
According to the ancestral system of the Great Qi Dynasty, princes were not allowed to raise private soldiers.
The 30,000 Xuanjia Army brought back to the capital was defeated by the 100,000 Chidi army when he was eighteen years old, regained three cities for the Great Qi, and killed Chidi's commander, making great contributions to the Great Qi.
For this reason, the late emperor also went to Taimiao to worship his ancestors, named Gu Jue Prince Chen, and specially ordered him to give him 30,000 private soldiers, only 30,000.
Although the Northern Army is still obeying Gu Jue's orders, it also belongs to the court in name, and obeys the tiger talisman in Gu Jue's hands, rather than Gu Jue's soldiers.
Just because the emperor was in a hurry during the March, the tiger talisman of the Northern Army is still in control of Gu Jue.
Gu Nanjin felt complicated and felt that his father was really wrong, every step he was wrong.
Gu Nanjin carefully observed Gu Jue's expression change and said, "Add 30,000 more people, I think this Fengtai Camp will be much more lively."
His words were equivalent to taking another big step, and instead of the emperor's promise to give Gu Jue another 30,000 private soldiers.
Originally, Gu Nanjin didn't plan to directly sell out 30,000 people, and wanted to wait for Gu Jue to speak first before bargaining, but was disturbed by Chu Qianchen. Chu Qianchen put him on a few words, leaving him with only his trump card.
Chu Qianchen still smiled lightly, and his obsidian-like eyes shining.
She understood that the emperor was really afraid this time, for Gu Jue was afraid that the Xuanjia Army would force the palace; for the imperial guards stationed in Beijing could not stop the 30,000 Xuanjia Army; and for the generals to surrender to Gu Jue...
The emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty has always been suspicious and fickle, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and fighting the strong on the outside.
This is true in the past and present lives.
It would be fine if Chu Qianchen didn't laugh, but when she smiled, Gu Nanjin's heart skipped a beat.
He was really afraid of him, Xiaojiu, who looked innocent and innocent, and he didn't speak, but he would never stop talking.
Gu Nanjin gave Chu Qianchen a cup of tea with a smile, trying to block her mouth: "Aunt Jiu, try this lotus tea, fresh and fragrant. If Aunt Jiu likes it, I will turn around and ask the Crown Princess to give some to Prince Chen's Mansion."
Gu Nanjin felt a little regretful that he didn't bring the Crown Princess out this time. If the Crown Princess was there, she could let her deal with Aunt Jiu, tell a few jokes and make a smooth move.
He is a man and a junior. He is not convenient for him to say something to Chu Qianchen, which will make him look frivolous.
It's too late to regret it now. Gu Nanjin just wanted to finish the matter quickly. He couldn't wait to ask Gu Jue again and said, "What's the point of Uncle Jiu?"
Chu Qianchen took the tea with a smile, and naturally interrupted, "Where is the Jinyiwei?"
"..." Gu Nanjin's face froze.
He also knew that this incident was initially because the Jinyiwei stopped the carriage from Duke Mu's mansion in the morning. It was because a mere general flag-maker did not keep a door in his mouth. It was originally a trivial matter, but because his father took advantage of the situation and wanted to teach the Nine Emperors a lesson, he lost the big picture and got to this point.
Gu Nanjin also complained to the Jinyiwei in his heart. He could imagine how arrogant the Jinyiwei was in his daily life. He was so frivolous and ruthless when facing Duke Mu's mansion. To put it bluntly, the Jinyiwei relied on his father's favor.
He could only smile and said, "Don't worry, when I go back, I will severely punish the General Qi Ding and dismiss him from his post and will not be taken again for life."
Chu Qianchen tilted his little face, frowned again, and looked at Gu Jue with a "suspended" look, "Will the Jinyiwei take revenge on me in the future?"
"If I walk on the road in the future, I will be stopped by the Jinyiwei..."
"Hey, I'm really scared."
She had a small slap on her face, worried and looked very troubled.
Gu Jue felt that the little girl looked like her black cat who had snatched a little goldfish from the pond and was acting like a good person.
An inexplicable impulse emerged in his heart, and he wanted to rub her head again, so he looked at Gu Nanjin next to him and his eyes became colder.
"That's right." Gu Jue echoed in a serious manner.
Gu Nanjin's scalp was tingling, so he heard Gu Jue continue: "The Jinyiwei should have three deputy commanders. As far as I know, I only have two of them now."
How could Gu Nanjin not understand Gu Jue’s meaning? What Gu Jue’s words mean was to install people in the Jinyiwei?
Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the Jinyiwei has been a close minister of the emperor. He only obeys the emperor and is a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor.
If Gu Jue was asked to insert someone into the Jinyiwei, then the father's inner self and face would be gone...
Gu Nanjin didn't dare to say that the emperor would agree, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Gu Jue was not in a hurry at all, and he still had the intention to take out the boxes of snacks he had bought along the way, "Are you hungry?"
I bought the lotus root cake that was less than half an hour later and was still a little hot. After the dessert box was opened, a tempting sweet smell floated over. Chu Qianchen was not hungry before, but when he smelled the fragrance, he suddenly felt hungry.
She also gave Gu Jue a piece.
The simplest movements have a calm and composed manner, as if they are confident.
The pavilion became quiet again, and the noise on the street seemed to be far away, and it had long been heard in Gu Nanjin's ears.
Gu Nanjin stared at the two of them in a daze, thinking about the scenes just now, chewing on every word Chu Qianchen and Gu Jue said, and thinking that Chu Qianchen interrupted several times just now was just right.
He really couldn't figure out what was ordered by King Chen in advance, and what was Chu Qianchen's misfortune on-the-spot performance. Her series of appropriate pressings were equivalent to putting him on the fire.
If he should not give up, then the conditions he offered before would fail.
Gu Nanjin's eyes were darker.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
The envoy of Nanhao was still in the capital, so they must not find that the relationship between the father and the ninth emperor's uncle was so stale. Then, there would be no hope for the marriage between the two countries.
Once the Xuanjia army is at the city, it may be the turn of the ministers to persuade his father to issue an edict. Even worse, they have to agree to the conditions proposed by the Nine Emperors. The situation will only be worse...
Gu Nanjin's mood was fluctuating, and he quickly measured the pros and cons in his heart.
When Chu Qianchen swallowed the last bite of lotus root cake, he heard Gu Nanjin say dejectedly: "Uncle Nine Emperor, Gu promised you. Today, Gu will order someone to send the transfer order to the Prince Chen Mansion, and the candidate will be decided by Uncle Nine Emperor."
To be continued...
