Chapter 3483 Extra Kochu 9
But Gu Ji could roughly guess by looking at his expression. The words were probably passed on to Zhou Man, and he didn't ask what the words were. When I get some free time later, I will pay my respects to Master."
Gu Cai agreed and sent him away respectfully.
Gu Cai ran back and reported the matter to Gu Zhong exactly, and worried: "Godfather, did I do something wrong?"
Gu Zhong was very indifferent, "It's nothing bad, he is your senior brother, it's okay to ask you a few more questions, you should tell him the truth."
"This matter has passed before His Majesty, although there is no need to publicize it, there is no need to cover it up." Gu Zhong glanced at Gu Cai at this point, and said seriously: "He is your senior brother, why are you hiding from him? "
Gu Cai lowered his head and murmured: "Senior brother, he... At that time, when his godfather was in trouble, he separated the relationship. I don't like him..."
After a pause, he whispered, "I'm a little afraid of him."
At the beginning, he was not afraid of Gu Ji. The relationship between the two seniors was very good before. He was much younger than Gu Ji. When he was adopted by Gu Zhong, Gu Ji was already able to run errands alone in the palace.
At that time, Gu Zhong was going to serve the late emperor, he was a little servant who learned from Gu Ji, and was often taken care of by his senior brother.
Later, Gu Ji went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was able to take care of himself, so Gu Cai came to serve and learn from Gu Zhong.
Last time, even a foreign official like Mr. Zhou was able to take the risk to save his godfather, but the senior brother was the one who cleaned it up the fastest. At that time, Gu Cai felt scared and chilled.
Gu Zhong looked at it very openly, he said with a smile: "People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, this is the normal state in the palace, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Although he didn't help me, he didn't hurt me." Gu Zhong said with a smile, "so if he still calls your senior brother all day, then he is your senior brother."
He said: "Are you stupid? In the future, our father and son will go outside, but living outside is better than living in the palace?"
"If there is no support, we will not be able to keep our wealth even if we have thousands of dollars," Gu Zhong said, "So there is such a person in the palace, you don't want to continue to maintain the relationship between the two of you, just avoid him, are you stupid?"
Gu Cai was dumbfounded, "Then, then I have to treat senior brother as before?"
Gu Zhong stared at him for a while, and finally shook his head and laughed, "Some things you have to keep in your heart, some things just need to be kept on the surface, you are too tender, since you can't learn it, then it's the same as before , just remember, don't tell him everything about our father and son."
Gu Cai replied with a confused face, "Oh."
Gu Zhong didn't expect him to know right away, there are advantages to being stupid.
Because of Gu Zhong's teachings, Gu Cai became more natural when he saw Gu Ji again. Although he was not as close as before, it was better than hiding when he saw people during this period of time.
To be honest, Gu Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Master must have instructed them, but it was better for them to reconcile than to quarrel.
Zhou Man didn't know their undercurrents were surging, and the next day she dealt with government affairs until noon, and the palace began to serve meals, so she gave her share to Imperial Physician Lu and the others, and then happily went to the Chongwen Hall for dinner.
Although it takes a long way to go, eating delicious food always makes people happy.
There is no meat, but Gu Zhong is also very dedicated, paying for the dining room to prepare delicious vegetarian dishes. Some vegetarian dishes taste better than meat.
Zhou Man ate with gusto, and asked directly after eating and drinking, "Just tell me, is there anything I can help you with?"
Gu Zhong was moved, "Lord Zhou is straightforward, and I don't hide it. The late emperor was kind enough to allow me to leave the palace. It's just that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the affairs of the Tai Chi Hall have not been handed over clearly. In addition, His Majesty Long En, I have stayed in the palace forever." into the palace."
"It's just that I'm old, and I went to Dali Temple before, and I'm not feeling well," Gu Zhong sighed, "Although it's hard for His Majesty Long En to resign firmly, I'm also afraid that my health will turn bad." His Majesty's important matter..."
Zhou Man understood, "You want me to intercede for you and His Majesty to let you out of the palace."
Gu Zhong said: "Actually, it is the quickest way to ask the empress dowager, but I failed to take good care of the late emperor when the emperor was here, and now I am ashamed to see the empress dowager."
Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will beg for you and His Majesty."
Zhou Man can see the emperor basically every day, Xiaochao will.
She was the quickest to leave every time after the small court meeting, her legs and feet were particularly agile, but today she purposely got up slowly from her seat, and stood with her arms folded until the others had left before she began to move.
The new emperor twisted his neck, and was about to go for a walk to let his mind rest. When he looked up and saw Zhou Man who had been walking to the gate of the hall after a long time, he stopped her and said, "Zhou Man, what's the matter with you?"
Eunuch Wu, who was about to remind the new emperor, stepped aside, and Zhou Man immediately turned around with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, let me take you for a walk in the garden."
Xindi glanced at her and got up.
It's too far to go to the imperial garden, there are a lot of books today, the new emperor didn't intend to waste too much time walking, so he took Zhou Man to the front of the study, where there is a small garden.
The new emperor walked half a step in front of Zhou Man, teaching her as he walked, "Zhou Man, you are now a third-rank, so don't say anything in private, just bring it up at the court meeting. I am not the prince now, but the emperor." gone."
Zhou Man said: "But this is a private matter, not an official matter, so it can't be brought up at the Xiaochao meeting?"
The new emperor paused and asked, "Do you have any personal matters to mention?"
Can Zhou Man still have private matters?
Her resignation and leave of absence are considered official business.
Zhou Man looked around and said in a low voice, "I'm here to ask for grace for Master Gu."
The new emperor frowned, "What grace do you ask for?"
"Go out of the palace," Zhou Man said, "Didn't the late emperor mention that Master Gu should go out of the palace?"
The new emperor was displeased, "I didn't treat him badly, why, he doesn't want to stay and serve me?"
Zhou Man said bluntly: "If Mr. Gu was ten years younger, he would definitely be willing, but he is already very old now, and he has long since lost the desire to fight for power and profit."
She sighed: "The work is too tiring. If I was not young and received the grace of the late Emperor and His Majesty, I would have resigned and wandered around."
Now that the job field is not so attractive to her, there are only two reasons for her to persevere. One is the future development of the Imperial Medical Office; the other is to repay the former emperor and the new emperor.
The new emperor frowned and looked at her, "You are so young, how can you be so old?"
Zhou Man said: "Yes, this is the minister's fault. I have been busy with work recently and I am really tired. You see, I am young and strong and have the idea of becoming an official, let alone Master Gu?"
She said directly: "My lord Gu still cared about the late emperor in the palace before, but now that the late emperor has passed away, he doesn't have much to worry about in the palace. He took his son out to live his own little life, and also saw the great rivers and mountains of the Jin Dynasty. Isn't it good? Why do you have to stay in the palace?"
