Chapter 152: Liu Zhao chooses his wife

Master Gu was stimulated and at the same time proud.
The son seems to be more capable than him, a bit shameless.
But his son is so capable, how can he not be proud as an Laozi.
He looked at Gu Teng, but he didn't expect that Gu Teng, who had always been immersed in reading, did so much work in private.
"It's too late. Go back and rest first. I will carefully consider what you say."
"Thank you father!"
Gu Teng bowed back and returned to the courtyard where he lived.
He listened to the noise of Gu Ling from the courtyard next door, smiled, picked up a book, turned the pages of it, and read it.
The next day, the matchmakers in the capital were still very busy, rushing around to say kisses.
Master Gu was a little uncertain, and wanted to wait for the princes to choose their wives before considering Gu Zheng's marriage.
At the same time, he also sent someone out to inquire about the minister of the Ministry of Religion.
If it is true, as Gu Teng said, it would be a good idea to make this marriage.
Yesterday the matchmaker came to the door, but he did not refuse strongly, only that he would consider it.
...
Inside the palace, the queen empress was lying on the hospital bed, angered.
Doctor Wang and the hospital are working together to give medicine to the empress.
Tiger and wolf medicine, accompanied by needles, is always painful and unbearable.
The empress was biting on the towel and sweating.
In order to live a few more days, she also tried her best.
After the injection was completed, the eunuchs withdrew.
The court lady stepped forward and wiped the body of the queen empress, changed her clothes wet with sweat, and changed the bedding.
The queen had a little strength and said, "Help the palace sit up."
The maid hurried forward and helped Queen Cui to sit on the bed.
The empress took a breath and asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
The maidservants hesitated for a while, and then said: "The emperor and grandchildren have not yet entered the palace."
The empress smiled contemptuously, "Your Majesty set the time at sunset. The emperors and grandchildren will not honestly submit the list without waiting until the last minute."
"What the mother said is."
"If the son Zhao enters the palace, remember to remind this palace."
"The slave understands."
The servant came in from the outside, "Qi, Niang Niang, the prince is down."
"Let him in."
After a while, His Royal Highness was invited into the bedroom.
"Son, please peace with the queen! The queen's complexion looks better."
The empress laughed at herself, "It's just holding on, sitting here and talking."
The queen pointed to the round stool by the bed.
His Royal Highness sat down respectfully, "Is the queen feeling better today?"
The empress nodded and looked at the prince with a smile: "Are you here today for the children's marriage?"
"Exactly! This is the list that the son and the officials have negotiated together, please look at the mother's queen."
His Royal Highness was in his early forties, and he respectfully presented the list with both hands.
Empress Empress took a look at the list, frowned slightly, "Who made this idea?"
His Royal Highness was panicked for a moment, "Is the queen not satisfied?"
The empress sneered and asked, "Is it your idea or the idea of ​​the officials?"
The prince bowed his head, a little guilty, "It was the son's idea."
"fart!"
The Queen Mother directly cursed an swear word, shocking the prince that she didn't know how to say it.
The empress sternly said, "What kind of temper are you, this palace does not know. This list is clearly drawn up by the officials, why are you responsible for those people? They hold the salary, but refuse to be loyal to the emperor. , Everyone is impure, what do you keep such people for?"
"Mother Queen!" His Royal Highness was a little embarrassed.
The Empress Empress stared at him stubbornly, stretched out her hand, and the maid understood her heart and put a brush in her hand.
Empress Empress lifted the pen and crossed out the names on the list with two big crosses.
The list is dirty, but Pei Yun's name can be vaguely seen.
"I don't know what to say, marrying Pei Yun as a daughter-in-law, do you think your father has no excuse to clean up you?"
"son……"
The prince gaped.
The Queen Empress directly threw the brush on the ground. If it were not for the prince's face, she would definitely throw the brush directly on the prince.
"This is an extraordinary period. You can contact Luhou in private, but you must never have contact on the surface. No one can marry Luhou's daughter. This is the meaning of the palace and your father. "
"Who else can Luhou's daughter marry?"
"Naturally be married to Xungui."
After speaking, the empress said two names, including the girl from Zhu Guo Gong's Mansion.
His Royal Highness was suspicious.
The Queen Mother said: "Luhou Mansion is likely to marry the Zhu Guo Gong Mansion and marry the girl from Zhu Guo Gong Mansion. Not only will your father be able to pass the customs, but you can also indirectly connect with Luhou Mansion. Do not do things in the future. So direct, learn to be roundabout."
"Thank you for the mother's teaching, my son understands."
The Queen Empress sighed, and then said: "The official of the East Palace should also be cleaned up."
"Mother Queen!" the prince yelled, looking unacceptable.
The empress turned her head to cover up the disappointment in her eyes. She stretched out her hand, and the palace man put a piece of material in her hand.
Then, she put the bound materials directly on the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, "Take a good look, what kind of things your Eastern Palace officials have done. This kind of people who are inferior to pigs and dogs, you What are you keeping."
His Royal Highness picked up the material with a pale face and looked at the content on it, his hands were shaking.
"Mother, this, how is this possible."
"Is it true or something is arranged by someone. Don’t you know if you’re going to take a look and send someone to do an investigation? My palace has long reminded you that you must be lenient and strict with courtiers. When it’s time to beat You must not be soft. Blindly kindness will only make them gain a lot of money, become more vigorous, and deceive them. A group of pigs and dogs, that is, your soft ears, treat them as treasures."
After the empress said, she coughed.
His Royal Highness anxiously worried, "Queen, are you okay?"
The Queen Empress vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and said: "Don't worry, this palace will not die for the time being. This palace will ask Young Supervisor Fang to help you and clean up all these worms."
There is a look of embarrassment under the Prince's Hall, "Mother, will this...Can you give them a chance?"
The Queen Empress sneered, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the prince's shoulder.
The prince suddenly felt that there was a heavy load on his shoulders, which made him breathless.
The Empress Empress said blankly: "Prince, don’t forget, Jin Wuwei is investigating the Eastern Palace. If you can’t break your arm, you’re a prince, you might as well let someone else sit here, so that your father’s order will not be abandoned. you."
His Royal Highness's face was pale, cold sweat dripped down.
Empress Empress asked: "Have you figured it out clearly? Do you still want to be the prince?"
His Royal Highness lowered his head and said with no confidence: "The child minister will investigate this matter himself. If it is true, the child minister will not tolerate it."
"Then as soon as possible. It is best to finish this matter before the fifth day. Otherwise, it will be too late. It will not be my palace and you to clean them up, but Jinwuwei. You know, you have entered the Jinwuwei edict. Prison, it’s not easy to get out alive."
The prince nodded his head, "The child minister listens to the mother's queen."
Shao Jian Fang came in from outside, "Qi Ji Niang Niang, referring to Gong Zi Zhao and other sons, who just entered the palace gate."
Empress Empress raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Give this palace stare at the Prince Zhao. In addition, you will help the prince handle the affairs of the East Palace as soon as possible."
Fang Shaojian looked towards the prince, and he saw resistance and a little bit of dissatisfaction in the prince's eyes.
Fang Shaojin didn't care at all. The prince is always so weak, as long as he himself is strong enough, he can suppress the prince.
The only worry is that the officials of the Eastern Palace will not be reconciled and will jump up to fight him in the ring.
But these are trivial matters.
Fang Shaojian bowed and took the order, "Follow the order!"
When Liu Zhao entered the palace, he went to see the Shaofu Order first.
The list of Beijing ladies are all in Shaofu.
Shaofuling is equivalent to the emperor's personal butler, in charge of profitable projects such as salt and iron.
Even Hubu Shangshu must be envious of the Shaofu family, rich.
The order of the young man came from the clan, and the son of the same emperor was a cousin who did not appear in the five clothes.
"I have seen Uncle Tang."
Shaofu Ling smiled slightly, "You are here, do you have a plan about who you want to marry?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "I have already thought about it."
The commander of the young man slapped his hands, and the subordinate official put a list of lists on the table, "Please have a look at the son."
Liu Zhao didn't have any extra expressions. He flipped through the roster in silence, and flipped quickly.
Shao Fu Ling looked at it and he had an idea.
When Liu Zhao turned to the General's Mansion of the Zhenjun Army, the flipping movement suddenly stopped.
He simply mentioned Gu Jiu's name under the pen circle.
The young man was curious about which girl got into Gongzizhao's eyes.
He stretched his head and looked at the list, "Gu Jiu? Which mansion girl is this."
"The second girl from the General's Mansion of the Town Army, the daughter of Master Yin Gu from the Capital Mansion." Liu Zhao's cold voice sounded in the signing room.
Shaofu ordered a black line.
"Young Master Zhao, are you sure you want to choose this girl named Gu Jiu as your wife?"
Liu Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, I have considered it clearly."
The Young Mansion Ling frowned, "This girl named Gu Jiu is unknown, and she is not a noble daughter. You really want to marry her as a wife? You are the eldest son of the royal palace, and you should marry a noble daughter. Even the queen. Niang Niang knows, she can't pick a thorn."
The Shaofu Ling kindly reminded Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao said, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, for taking care of me. But I think she is the most suitable woman for my son."
Courageous, thoughtful, responsible, and smart enough. This is the best candidate for a wife.
The other girls are not bad, but not suitable for him.
The Order of the Young Mansion still has to persuade, "I will keep this list for you. Think about it again. Anyway, there is still some time before sunset."
"No, I have thought clearly enough."
The young man frowned, "Even if you figure it out clearly, do your father and your concubine agree?"
"Your Majesty ordered me to choose a wife, and my father and mother respected my ideas."
Liu Zhao said nonsense seriously.
Shaofu Ling was anxious, "Other emperors and grandchildren don't choose wives like you, but they choose famous ladies. You choose this girl named Gu Jiu, isn't it a hindrance?"
Liu Zhao chuckled softly, "Is it a hindrance? It's not just about identity."
Seeing that Liu Zhao had eaten the weight, he could only sigh helplessly, "Since you insist, then I will pass this list up. Your Majesty will ask about it later, and you can explain it yourself."
"Thank you Uncle Tang."
Shaofu Ling shook his head. The young man now has a hole in his head.
The Commander of the Young Mansion delivered the list to Emperor Kai Yao himself.
Kai Yaodi frowned as he looked at the strange names on the list. When I saw the family background written on the note, I remembered that there was indeed such a family.
Some time ago, this Gu Zhili was also sent to prison.
Kai Yaodi was a little confused, "Didn't Gu Zhili be sent to prison? Why is his girl still on the list?"
The Chen Dachang reminded Emperor Kai Yao, "Have you forgotten your Majesty? This Master Gu was released as early as the 27th of the Spring Festival last month."
After being reminded, Emperor Kai Yao finally remembered that there was such a thing.
"It turned out to have been released. Go and call Liu Zhao. I want to ask him how he chose it."
Liu Zhao was invited into the hall by the palace people, "The grandson knocked on the emperor's grandfather, and the emperor's grandfather was in good health."
"No ceremony! I asked you to choose your wife. Why did you choose Gu Zhili's daughter? I see the information on this is called Gu Jiu. I haven't made it yet?"
Liu Zhao bowed, his face calmly said: "The grandson has seen this girl Gu several times, she is very good, very suitable to be the wife of the grandson. I also ask the emperor's grandfather to make it happen.
"Oh? So you met her. Is she really as good as you said?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "The emperor's grandfather will agree with his grandson when he sees her."
Kai Yaodi smiled, "If that's the case, it's better to invite this girl into the palace, and I will see you in person."
Chen Dachang immediately ordered his servant to go to Gu's house and invited Gu Jiu into the palace.
Liu Zhao's face was calm, and he was not worried at all.
Emperor Kai Yao was curious, "Zhao'er, don't you worry that this girl Gu Jiu can't even speak when I see me?"
Liu Zhao bowed and said, "She is not so cowardly."
"Oh?"
When Kai Yaodi heard this, he became curious.
What kind of girl it is that made Liu Zhao praise so much.
Kai Yaodi said: "In a while, I will take this Gu girl a good test."
...
Gu Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.
Gu Jiu had no idea that a marriage was about to fall on her head.
She knows nothing about her future destiny.
At this time, she is preparing for tomorrow's banquet with his wife Zhang.
Tomorrow, Gu’s guest will be treated to friends and family.
By then, the maiden family of the eldest wife Zhang will come.
The marriage of the eldest girl Gu Zhen has to count on the eldest wife Zhang.
Gu Zhen was a little nervous. She tried her best to perform well in front of her eldest wife Zhang, but because she was too nervous, she made a few small mistakes.
Gu Jiu reminded her: "Big sister doesn't need to be nervous, just as usual."
Gu Zhen nodded, "I heard that the Hou Mansion next door is talking about pro?"
"I heard that's the case. I don't know what kind of people Qi and Ying will be told to."
Gu Jiu also worried for Gu Qi and Gu Ying. In case of being selected by the East Palace, it would be troublesome.
Everyone was busy, and the porter ran in panting, "Madam, the second girl, there is someone from the palace. Let the second girl enter the palace immediately?"
Gu Jiu forced, "You are not mistaken. Why would you let me enter the palace?"
"The maid is still in the front hall. The elder master and the second master are greeted together. The second girl, go quickly, don't let the maid wait long."
The eldest wife Zhang frowned and asked, "Is it sure to let the second girl into the palace, not let other people into the palace?"
The concierge nodded again and again, "It is true that the second girl was indeed invited into the palace. And it was your majesty's verbal order."
When the eldest wife Zhang heard it, it turned out to be the word of your majesty. For the time being, she couldn't control the reason. She hurriedly called Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, go back to the room and change clothes, and then follow me to see the maid. Don’t worry, your father will definitely ask. Know the reason."
Gu Jiu forced, what is going on?
How could your majesty call her name and let her enter the palace.
She is a little-known boudoir girl, how can He De be in the eyes of the emperor?
There is a problem, there must be a problem in it.
Gu Jiu was waited on by the maids to change into a festive dress, and then hurried to the front hall with his wife Zhang.
Xie got the news and rushed over.
"Sister-in-law, I heard you right. How could the palace let the second girl into the palace?"
"It should be correct. It is said that it was an oral statement from your Majesty. As for the reason, I am not sure now. Xiao Jiu, you follow me in. When you see the servant in the palace, don't be nervous, everything is in accordance with the rules."
Gu Jiu nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the lobby.
"This is the little girl, Gu Jiu." Master Gu was nervous.
The maid's eyes were like a knife, and he swept towards Gu Jiu, looking from top to bottom.
Gu Jiu was neither humble nor overbearing, and came forward to see him.
The servant nodded secretly, "If you come, let's follow our family into the palace."
"Father-in-law..."
"Master Gu, don't worry, it's a good thing to make Qian Jin enter the palace this time."
But he refused to say a word of extra words, but urged Gu Jiu to follow him into the palace.
Zhang hurriedly stuffed several purses into Qingmei's hands, "You have to wink in the palace and take care of your girl."
The elder master personally offered a big gift to the servant.
The waiter weighed the portion and was satisfied. But still refuses to reveal an inside story.
No, Gu Jiu could only follow the servant to the palace first.
