The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

"As much as the princess has, I will take as much as she has!"

"all?"

Jin Lehuang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Gu, are you going to take action against the aristocratic families?"

"Of course it's all of them. I just said that we should prepare for a rainy day and never fight a battle without confidence!" Gu Jingzhi did not comment.

"Ha! It seems that Master Gu has already thought it through!"

Jin Lehuang said coldly, "I'm afraid this is another thing you're doing for your Majesty, right? Sir Gu..."

"Aren't you afraid that one day this knife will become useless, or that you discover that the noble family is not so easy to deal with, and that person backs down? Have you ever thought about your own fate?"

"My Lady, there's no need to stir up trouble! Whether I'm a sword or not, do you think I have a choice?"

Who would be willing to make a knife unless they had to?

Although he is currently in a very good position, he has made many enemies.

Jin Lehuang was silent upon hearing this. Gu Jingzhi had a bad relationship with the Gu family, and even some of the things that happened in which Gu Xiu of the Gu family colluded with his biological mother Song Yu to persecute Gu Jingzhi were slowly uncovered by the Inner Guards.

It can be said that Gu Jingzhi really has no one to rely on.

All he can rely on now is Emperor Xia's trust. But in this case, he has to do whatever Emperor Xia asks him to do!

There is honor and favor, but there is also helplessness!

Jin Lehuang thought about it, but didn't rush to agree. Instead, he continued to ask, "Then Lord Gu, could you please tell me, you've devoted so much effort to planning for Daxia, but why are you now even disregarding your own safety?"

"Princess, are you talking about dealing with the aristocratic families?"

"Not bad!"

Jin Lehuang said, "Master Gu just said that you have talents that can be sold to the imperial family, but you don't trust the imperial family! I don't think you are a loyal person. Why do you do whatever he tells you to do?"

"Is it possible that Lord Gu is obsessed with power?"

"There's nothing wrong with being passionate about power. A real man can't live without it for a day! But..."

Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Who said I'm unfaithful?"

"Your Highness thinks I'm taking the land back for Daxia in order to get a promotion. I won't argue, but if it's just for a promotion, there's no need for me to risk my life and burn the Beili army's food supplies, right?"

"This is also what this princess is confused about. I wonder if Master Gu can explain it to me?"

Jin Lehuang was a little confused.

Gu Jingzhi said, "Promotion is naturally the first priority. As for the others... Could you please tell me why you wanted to disrupt the peace talks with Beili?"

"Can't this princess simply want to kill Xiao Li?"

Jin Lehuang raised his eyebrows.

Gu Jingzhi shook his head calmly and said, "Does the princess find this kind of conversation interesting?"

Jin Lehuang was silent.

They were both smart people, so Gu Jingzhi naturally wouldn't believe her words. Of course, Jin Lehuang didn't expect Gu Jingzhi to believe it.

Gu Jingzhi sighed softly, "Xiao Li died in the capital, and Da Xia bears an unshirkable responsibility. Most likely, the court will push the blame onto Bei Li, firstly to preserve Da Xia's reputation, and secondly to facilitate the war in the north!"

"This result is probably what Song Pu and his family wanted!"

"The princess wouldn't have taken refuge with an aristocratic family, would she?"

"them?"

Jin Lehuang sneered.

"Since she's not from an aristocratic family, the princess's goal is very simple. It should be for the former Yun Kingdom, right?"

"Does Master Gu really have to know?"

Jin Lehuang smiled coldly.

Gu Jingzhi shook his head and sighed, "Since the princess is unwilling to speak, then just pretend I didn't ask! Let's get back to the previous topic. I need the princess to provide me with information about the aristocratic families. I think this is no problem, right?"

Jin Lehuang looked at the inner guard order left by Qu Feiyan and said, "If it's a trade, then there's no problem!"

"Then let's consider it a deal!"

Gu Jingzhi doesn't really want to care about other people's affairs, as long as his own goals can be achieved.

Jin Lehuang nodded silently, and then said quietly: "I hope Master Gu will not regret it one day!"

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. There is nothing to regret!"

"I am different from the princess, and I don't have the noble status of a princess. A mere fourth-rank official can't save my life. People must naturally fight for a glimmer of hope for themselves. That's all!"

Jin Lehuang just nodded when she heard that, then turned around and picked up the teacup. Seeing that she was ready to see him off, Gu Jingzhi did not stop at all.

After placing the sword on the table, he turned and left.

As they approached the door, Jin Lehuang suddenly asked, "Master Gu, whether the North is at war or at peace, it does not affect your interests. Why do you insist on choosing an alliance with Beili?"

Gu Jingzhi paused.

He turned around and smiled slightly: "Because Daxia has been at peace for twenty years, it would be better if there were fewer wars in this world, so that the people can live in peace for a few more years!"

"As the saying goes, those who love war will perish, and those who forget war will be in danger! As you said, Daxia hasn't fought a war in a long time, and its military equipment has been neglected. Wouldn't it be better to fight a battle?"

"At least it can wake some people up!"

"What the princess said is true, but fighting an unprepared war is foolish. Our dynasty is only twenty years old and is thriving. We have wise rulers and famous generals..."

"We can protect ourselves now without worry. We can achieve our goals through peaceful means. We can also strengthen the country and enrich the people, and then strengthen the army. There is really no need to let the soldiers pay with their blood!"

"Everyone is a father, son, or brother. War is something that should be avoided as much as possible!"

After saying that, he left the attic without caring about Jin Lehuang who was stunned by what he said.

A good while.

Looking at the empty doorway, Jin Lehuang muttered to himself.

"It's true that no one likes war. War is the last thing that should exist in this world, but what about my parents and family?"

"And what about those over 100,000 soldiers? What guilt have they committed?"

Jin Lehuang sighed softly.

As a princess of a fallen country, although she was raised by the Queen Mother of Great Xia, she would still think about her homeland and what kind of country it was.

However, before he had time to imagine, he was burdened with the national hatred and family feuds, as well as the more than 100,000 dead soldiers of his homeland.

Those who remained loyal to the letter of surrender from beginning to end were also feared and lost their lives because of it.

She is complicated inside.

Ever since she could remember, most of her old friends didn't dare to contact her, and didn't even dare to come and see her.

Her life seemed to be limited.

Later, when she grew up, the woman she regarded as her mother also left. From then on, she lived in this villa. Apart from the prince who still had a trace of warmth, there was no one else.

She didn't know why he did this, she just felt that she wanted to do something.

In this way, it seems that she is the correct identity of the princess of a fallen country.

She waited for twenty years until an opportunity arose for chaos in the north, but all her plans were ruined by a man named Gu Jingzhi.

The key point is that he gave himself a big gift, helping him to avenge the national and family hatreds.

Gu Jingzhi...

Not the Gu from Gu Heng...

Thinking of his own doubts at the beginning, a hint of doubt flashed in Jin Lehuang's eyes!
