Gu Jinting felt that he was really unlucky. He thought that he had finally caught the thief and that he would be able to stand up with Prince Lin after he came back. Who would have thought that Prince Lin would be so useless. In a short period of time, he lost his throne and was imprisoned!

He sacrificed a daughter for nothing...

He had no other way out, so he believed Su Xin's lies!

Seeing that Gu Jinting was silent for a long time, the eunuch who delivered the order was also a little unhappy: "General Gu, is he dissatisfied with your majesty's arrangement? If so, then I can go back and report to your majesty. You think this position of chief is inconspicuous, but you don't know There are so many people outside trying to get in. If the eldest princess hadn’t treated you so differently, how would you have gotten your turn? Now you are so picky. It’s really hard for the princess to be so kind and treated like a donkey!”

The eunuch also meant what he said.

This place has a good name, the position is not too high, but the chances of making meritorious deeds are great!

I have been thinking about the new bed crossbow for some days. Maybe it won't take long to adjust it with a better range. By then, will General Gu just get all the credit for nothing? !Besides, it’s not like he was asked to do it himself. The craftsmen who were familiar with the craft were all at his command. What was there to be dissatisfied about? !

Mr. Tu, who still doesn’t have any position, has a broad mind and is neither impatient nor impatient, unlike him...

Gu Jinting felt a headache when he heard this person talking about "big princess".

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I'm not familiar with this place, so I have a lot of questions. Thank you, sir." He spoke almost through gritted teeth, and then added as if unintentionally: "The eldest princess is a female, and she has no respect for the imperial court." I don’t know much about these positions... Although I have made some crossbows myself, this crossbow... there is a huge difference between the two. It is normal for the eldest princess not to know... "

He also wanted to accept the matter quietly, but he felt uncomfortable!

Saying a few words can also vent your inner emotions.

However, as soon as he said this, the people around him looked at him strangely.

"The eldest princess is both civil and military, and no one in the military camp is dissatisfied. I can just talk about what Chief Gu said here. If I go to the camp in the middle of the capital and say such arrogance, I'm afraid I will be beaten until my own mother will admit it." If you don’t come out..." The eunuch also spoke in a strange and sinister manner.

Now in the palace, who doesn’t know that Your Majesty loves the eldest princess?The eldest princess has both talents and virtues. She is very kind to the people in the palace and always convinces people with reason. The maids and eunuchs who are currently serving the eldest princess in the Changning Palace have nothing bad to say about the princess.

Moreover, the person in front of me was just catching a thief, he was so proud, he didn't look at anyone the whole way, and he looked so arrogant that he didn't know where this confidence came from!

"Jingzhong Camp?" Gu Jinting was very puzzled when he heard this, "How can the princess have such prestige in the Beijing Camp? Is this a trick on me, father-in-law?"

After he came back, he only focused on finding a new supporter and knew nothing about anything else.

The eunuch who delivered the order sighed: "Master Gu has been away from the capital for a long time. It's normal for me to know. It's just that the slave has been out for a long time and cannot stay longer. Master Gu should go ask others!"

After saying that, he rubbed his hand in front of Gu Jinting.

Gu Jinting was startled for a moment, and then he realized it. He even lost his fake smile, and reluctantly took out some money and handed it over.

The eunuch then left.

After asking so many questions, his mouth was dry. Gu Jinting was still reluctant to give him tea money. He had obviously received 5000 taels of silver reward before, but he was still so stingy. He was so tired that he still wanted to ask for it bluntly. !

As soon as this person left, Gu Jinting was left facing a pile of messy wooden shelves in the room with a confused face.

Bed crossbow... Bed crossbow!

If he can't do it in two months, I'm afraid the eldest princess will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to make things difficult for him, and then demote him and never hire him. By then, others will not remember his contribution!

He must not let Su Xin succeed!

Gu Jinting went straight into the arms department. He was quite smart and knew that he was not good at this, so he immediately found some capable craftsmen among these craftsmen, tried hard to listen to their ideas, and then brought out the emperor's earlier work. He was rewarded with money and used the money as bait to make these people willingly light lamps, boil oil and do things for him.

As he spent more time on official business, he became more and more neglected at home.

He went out early and came back late all day, and the children of the Gu family couldn't see him, so they started to think of something.

If they want to stay in the capital, they have to find a backer that even their own father can't shake. If they don't have a backer, they need a position that no one can move.

A few days later, Suxin and Xiahou Huaixin went to the Third Princess's Mansion to watch the ceremony.

Xiahou Huaixin said enthusiastically: "My cousin is really foresighted. The boys of the Gu family have been acting very strangely recently. The three older ones actually spent money to buy officials! They seemed to be very anxious, not picky at all, and very aggressive. It's so generous that even three of them were injured, and they all got positions. It's really amazing, are they crazy?"

When Su Xin heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "What are their positions?"

"Of course they are all low-ranking people. Under His Majesty's nose, how can anyone dare to sell a serious official position? That second-in-command worked as a small guard at the city defense department and had to stand guard. These people usually come from various major camps. Those who called over there, it’s just that it’s not the draft day yet, so they can’t go through the formal route.”

"The fourth child went to Shanglinyuan to find a position as a horse steward. The third child was good at martial arts and even joined the guard camp. Of course, he is just an unselected minion at the bottom and may not be able to climb up in the future."

The more Xiahou Huaixin talked, the more strange he felt: "Does my cousin know something?"

"They did so much and Gu Jinting didn't respond?" Su Xin asked.

"Him? He is buried in the Ordnance Department recently. Where can I take care of it? It seems that they are waiting for Gu Jinting to be busy before they secretly do things. This amount of money is spent at least a lot. Ten thousand taels!" Xiahou Huaixin said again.

The Gu family actually has a lot of money. You must know that when Yan Qingqing was still alive, he ran a medical clinic and treated many noble ladies. Naturally, all that money now fell into the hands of the seven children.

In addition, Gu Mingshan's marriage was ruined when Gu Jinting returned to Beijing as a general. Originally, Gu Mingshan was going to get married. He once took great pains to snatch the marriage from others. When he saw his own father became a general and returned, he turned away. When they regretted their marriage, they extorted some property and money from the other party. After General Tu kicked them out, he also gave them some money in order to look good.

After saving up, they are actually quite wealthy.

"By the way, they are really lucky. They wanted a position and met someone who could help them. Soon their dream came true. Gu Mingwu, the six children of the Gu family, was sent to the palace as a dancer. Ji went, and of the two younger ones, one became a palace maid, and the other... was given to an eunuch by Gu Mingqi and taken away... I really don't understand what they were thinking, they are simply crazy." Xiahou Huaixin When I knew this, I was really shocked and couldn't figure it out.

But Suxin understood that it must be Gu Jinting who wanted them to leave.

But a few people didn't believe Gu Jinting, their biological father, at all, and maybe they thought that his biological father was going to sell them.

Although they are young, they are actually very proud. They may think that they can make a difference by themselves if they stay in the capital, so they do not hesitate to lose some money and their youngest siblings to find a reliable position where Gu Jinting cannot move around.
