Chapter 464

“When father was alive, even if Jiangnan Hall can still be said to be depleted, but in the end he was in his prime, from grandfather’s hands after Jiangnan Hall, but also peacefully over the past ten years.” Song Yixiao thought in this way, “And he has an old relationship with Gu Shao, Gu Shao himself has no one to succeed him, and looks at him as if he were his own nephew so if father is there, even if someone wants to hit Jiangnan Hall’s idea, the difficulty can be imagined!”

And once Song Yuan died, even if Song Lu didn’t avenge her husband’s death by killing her motherinlaw, Mrs. Pang, with Song Yixiao’s understanding of these two motherinlaws and daughtersinlaw, these two motherinlaws and daughtersinlaw combined may not be able to support Jiangnan Hall.

It was because the Jiangnan Hall’s industry was just too much!

The accumulation of several dynasties, a single lineage, and an industry that spreads across the entire country is simply not something that two widows can hold down the fort!

If Song Yuan was there, although Jiangnan Hall was defeated, it still had the power to defend itself; after Song Yuan left, Jiangnan Hall had completely fallen, and there was no power to fight back at all!

In particular, Song Lu had also plotted to assassinate Wei Mengying an assassination that could not be said to be a scheme by the person behind the scenes, in order to catch Song Lu in the act!

Jiangnan Hall is now only a few people, Song Yibao and Song Yiyao are still young, all rely on their mother Song Lu’s decision, Song Lu’s call for someone to control, Jiangnan Hall is still not at the mercy of others?

Before Song Luyan complained that Song Lu’s simply do not take the things of Jiangnan Hall as something to look at, the area of three or two years on the dispersal of half of the family property, defeat to this extent, even if it is several decades have not been in contact with the first branch of the side branch can not stand to look at it now think about it, may not be Song Lu’s own willingness to defeat the family, perhaps she was forced to do so?

Of course, Song Yixiao for the death of this stepmother is not very concerned about, she is now thinking about: if from Song Yuan murder Wei Mengying, is a series of conspiracy to count words, does not mean that her biological parents, her two suffered miserable halfsisters Lu Thuoer and Lu Zuier … are for the mastermind of the murder of this?

Thinking of this, Song Yixiao only felt the blood in her entire body rush to her head in an instant!

She forced herself to perfunctorily walk away from Jiang Mubai and the others but Song Luoyan insisted on staying, and when the bystanders saw this, they knew that they were sisters of the same clan, and at a time like this, they were expected to have something to say, so they didn’t ask too many questions.

After everyone else had left, Song Luyan asked Song Yiyao; “The first branch now has only one male heir, so how can we not keep him?”

“Why don’t I want to?” Song Yixiao upset said, “but you also heard sister Jiang said, the dowager empress dowager there … you also know, my husband is the dowager empress dowager raised, on behalf of the country’s Grand Princess and is our couple’s aunt! This matter, I said that no matter what to try, but in fact I simply do not know where to start to be good!”

Song Luoyan looked around, and only when Bell and the others had the good sense to retire and only the two sisters were left in the room, did she whisper, “When I was at home before, I heard someone say that the Jinxiu Hall had a secret medicine that could cause a person to fall into a false death, whether it was true or not, but I don’t know anymore.”

“If the Dowager Empress Dowager is really serious, how can this be easy to do?” Song Yixiao was stunned and sighed, “Besides, after faking her death, Yiyao will definitely not be able to use her previous identity, so in the end, Jiangnan Hall will still have no one!”

Song Luoyan also fell silent upon hearing this, and sighed a moment later, “I really don’t know why Grandma Lu can’t think straight like this?!”

Song sisters relative worry at the time, Xuanming Palace, Duanhua Emperor finished approving a folding, feel some wrist acid, then put aside the Zhu pen, leaning back.

The little chamberlain who stood at his side serving pen and ink, immediately knelt down smartly and lightly pinched his shoulders and arms for him.

Emperor Duanhua closed his eyes and enjoyed himself, and after a long time, the hall remained silent, but a touch of distinct annoyance swept across the emperor’s brows.

After another session, Emperor Duanhua opened his eyes a bit unbearably and impatiently flicked his sleeve at that little chamberlain.

The little chamberlain bowed sagely and retreated backwards out of the hall.

The emperor and rubbed the desk paperweight, see the temple people are still quiet, this is a silent sigh, frustrated to look at the temple has stood for a good while Gu Shao today Gu Shao was summoned into the palace after the salute, DuanHua emperor coldly and faintly said, “flat body” After Gu Shao was summoned into the palace today, the Duanhua Emperor said coldly and faintly, “Stand up”, and paid no more attention to him, taking care of his own government.

At that time it was still early in the day, now it is nearly noon, so long cold down, this old minister not only did not show the color of anxiety, still stand straight not to say, and even still have the leisure to close their eyes to rest their heads.

If it wasn’t for the fact that every time the Emperor’s gaze swept past, Gu Shao also immediately opened his eyes and assumed the appearance of being at his beck and call, the Emperor would simply have to think that he was really asleep!

This kind of qi cultivation is really beyond the reach of Emperor Duanhua.

“Why?” So while Gu Shao was able to stabilize himself, Emperor Duanhua couldn’t take it anymore and had to speak first.

The emperor’s question was a bit clueless, but Gu Shao understood what he meant: since Emperor Duanhua ascended to the throne, Gu Shao had never shared his worries for Emperor Duanhua except for assisting the emperor in the imperial government, and other things, such as this time when the Dowager Empress made things difficult for Emperor Duanhua.

Even when Emperor Duanhua took the initiative to approach him to ask for advice, he was only perfunctory.

So much so that Duanhua Emperor already suspected that Gu Shao despised himself, intentionally do not give their own efforts, but yesterday, the Empress Dowager cut her own throat in public, this kind of thing destined to cause an uproar, Duanhua Emperor was shocked frozen, Gu Shao’s reaction is surprisingly fast he was almost with the doctor before and after the feet of the Qingxitian Palace, and only half a day! time, let the empress dowager put things to rest, not to mention, and even took the initiative to give the Qingxi Palace up and down the gag order!

Although because there were many people who saw this scene at that time, there were inevitably words and phrases circulating, but as long as the Dowager Empress Dowager herself did not admit it, ultimately it could be a big deal to turn a small matter into a small one.

And Duanhua Emperor celebrated, also more and more do not understand Gu Shao’s intentions: to say that the old minister on their own heart, why the Empress Dowager have been making these months, he only said “Your Majesty tolerate a good”, in addition to not the slightest construction of words; to say that the old minister on their own just stalling, this time and why suddenly out of the blue?

The Emperor didn’t feel that it was because he had rebuked Gu Shao before, because if Gu Shao was so worried about offending the Emperor, why didn’t he step in to smooth out the Dowager Empress long before she had only begun to make trouble?

This way, the Emperor will not only not be suspicious of him, but will also rely on him more, right?

Now that the Duanhua Emperor has become bored with him, he will remedy … the rift and always leave it.

How could Gu Shao not even see such a simple thing?

So the Duanhua emperor early in the morning to Gu Shao called into the palace, in order to ask for an understanding originally he thought that Gu Shao ruthless airing a dry, Gu Shao may not be able to calm themselves to reveal the wind.

Who knows …

Emperor Duanhua endeavored to brush away the powerlessness in his heart and hide his frustration as he pressed on in as majestic a tone as possible, “Why?!”

“Because Your Majesty is in his prime, although I still have some strength left, in terms of age, I’m already dying!” Gu Shao was briefly silent for a moment, in the end, he raised his head, looked directly at Emperor Duanhua’s uncomprehending gaze, and sighed deeply, “Even if Your Majesty has been using ministers, I’m afraid that I, myself, won’t be able to serve Your Majesty for too long!”

“Since you think you can’t serve me for too long, is it not even more important to seize the opportunity to serve me, so as to give me a good impression, and in the future, even if your children and grandchildren don’t strive for excellence, I’m thinking of your face, at least I’ll also take care of some of them!” This sentence Duanhua Emperor almost blurted out so he was about to say so when he suddenly thought of a point, subconsciously pursed his lips and looked at Gu Shao in disbelief.

Sure enough, Gu Shao continued, “Your Majesty was taught by the late emperor, the late emperor was brilliant, your Majesty is gifted and intelligent, why is it that when dealing with various matters, it is not as important as the late emperor? When the late emperor was here, he had a private discussion with me, and I thought that it was because your majesty was young and had experienced too few things. The socalled people are not born to know, and the socalled familiarity breeds skill, is no more than that!”

“And the late emperor, too, agreed with my minister.”

“Ever since the late Emperor became seriously ill and entrusted me to assist His Majesty, I have been wondering, in fear, what I should do in order to live up to the late Emperor’s trust?”

“I thought for a long time, and finally felt that instead of me relying on my seniority and relying on my experience and seniority to clear all the obstacles for Your Majesty, it would be better for Your Majesty to practice on your own!”

“After all, I always have to go before Your Majesty!”

“I am not saying that all of the dukes in the court are not as loyal and capable as I am. So much so that after I leave, Your Majesty has no one credible to use!”

“But the lord of this world is His Majesty, not the ministers, nor the schemers!”

“Thunder and rain were originally intended from above!”

“And not, from the will of a minister or a public official!”

“So since His Majesty ascended the throne, in addition to the affairs of state this is a matter of the gods of earth and grain and people’s livelihood of the major events, since it can not be ignored the rest of the every time you ask for advice from the minister, the minister is only a perfunctory words.”

“This is not a defiance of Your Majesty, much less a deception, but a wish for Your Majesty to dispose of it himself!”

“But this time, the move of the Dowager Empress Dowager, His Majesty, as a grandchild, is not good enough to be admonished, so naturally, I must also rely on my years and step in to help!”

Emperor Duanhua stared at him in a daze, his mind in chaos.

The emperor is only mediocre, not stupid, of course he knows the meaning of Gu Shao’s words, in fact, is to hope that he can get rid of the dependence that was cultivated during the time when Emperor Xianjia was alive, personally pick up the miles of rivers and mountains of Da Rui, like Emperor Xianjia, to do the Qian Gang Dictatorship.

So since Emperor Duanhua ascended the throne, Gu Shao never took the initiative to share his worries for the difficult problems he encountered.

But Gu Shao’s ultimate goal, after all, was to sharpen Emperor Duanhua, not really stand by and watch the fun.

Therefore, yesterday, when the Dowager Empress made a scene to the point of cutting her own throat, Gu Shao immediately stepped in.

After all, if Gu Shao still didn’t care about this matter, Emperor Duanhua’s reputation would certainly be in tatters!

This old minister, who the late emperor had purposely left behind, truly wanted to assist Emperor Duanhua, so he was not afraid of upsetting Emperor Duanhua in order to, let Emperor Duanhua have the opportunity to grow into a holy lord and a bright ruler; rather than, taking the opportunity to take over the power and gain benefits for himself with his own family and disciples!

“Gu phase since it is a piece of hard work, but why …” Duanhua emperor stayed stunned for a long time before murmuring, “Why not early with me to explain? Gu phase insight into the human heart, should know, if you early with me to say clearly such a purpose, I most likely will not oppose!”

His qualifications were inferior to Emperor Xianjia, but he was definitely not a headstrong person who could not listen to advice.

However, Gu Shao smiled faintly, “Please forgive your majesty for the sin of disrespect and impoliteness: for one thing, I hope that your majesty can realize my wish on your own; for another, it is … for the sake of fishing!”
