The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister
Chapter 150: No Speculation
Gu Jingzhi got on his carriage and went all the way to Qinlou.
Qinlou is a famous restaurant in the capital and has always been one of the favorite gathering places for dignitaries.
Gu Jingzhi came to a private room on the top floor, and the first thing he saw was that dead woman Jin Lehuang.
But this damn woman...
He actually changed his clothes during this time?
She was standing there with a smile on her face, her watery eyes looking at Gu Jingzhi, a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, noble yet incredibly beautiful.
Her dark black hair reaches her waist and hips, her waist is slender and can be held in one hand. She is wearing a black gauze robe, her skin is whiter than snow, and her figure is enchanting.
She's an alluring enchantress.
But you asked me to come here just to change clothes for me to see?
Gu Jingzhi walked over slowly and said, "The princess invited me here. What is the matter?"
Jin Lehuang's lips curled up into a smile, and he said with a faint smile: "People say that Master Gu is cruel and ruthless. From Lehuang's perspective, I'm afraid we should also add the word that he doesn't understand romance, right?"
As she spoke, she sat down at the side of the tea table and pointed to the seat opposite.
Gu Jingzhi frowned. Why did this princess sound like a courtesan when she spoke?
He sat silently opposite Jin Lehuang, took the teacup from Jin Lehuang, took a sip, and then said, "Gu and the princess are not of the same kind. If you have any advice, please speak up!"
"Master Gu, you plotted against the Gu family, didn't you just want to deal with the aristocratic families?"
Jin Lehuang looked at Gu Jingzhi with a smile and said, "This princess has the Inner Guards in her hands, and she knows everything about the aristocratic families. If this princess asks... I can continue to provide you with intelligence on the aristocratic families?"
"What does the princess want?"
Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows.
There is no free lunch in the world, and he doesn't think Jin Lehuang is that kind!
"This princess doesn't have anything special she wants, but..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Jin Lehuang. Jin Lehuang said calmly, "But this princess is very interested in Master Gu!"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea rippled in the cup. Jin Lehuang glanced at the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly, "What's wrong? Sir Gu, are you scared?"
"My Lady, as the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. I am not of the same mind as you, and I am afraid I will disappoint you!"
"Oh? Not the same kind of people? Does Lord Gu really think so?"
Jin Lehuang put down the teacup, looked at Gu Jingzhi meaningfully, and said, "It seems that Master Gu is willing to be used as a knife by others!"
"so what?"
Gu Jingzhi said softly: "A real man cannot live without power for a day. I want power, and the emperor can give me power. So what if I can be a sword?"
"Hasn't it been said that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked? Is Lord Gu willing to live like this for the rest of his life?"
"I, Gu Jingzhi, have no backers, no distinguished family background, and I'm not as lucky as the princess, who holds a golden ticket to immunity from death. Do I have any choice?"
Gu Jingzhi met the gaze and smiled slightly, saying, "If I, Gu Jingzhi, am like this, shouldn't all officials be like this as well?"
"Really? Song Pu is much smarter than Master Gu!"
Jin Lehuang said without comment.
Gu Jingzhi said decisively: "Therefore, the aristocratic family should be destroyed!"
"Destroy?"
Jin Lehuang frowned and said, "There have always been aristocratic families that have lasted for a thousand years, but no dynasties that have lasted for a thousand years. Lord Gu, do you think that aristocratic families can be destroyed?"
"It's up to us, so why not?"
"..."
Jin Lehuang frowned and whispered, "Master Gu probably doesn't know the terror of the aristocratic families. Even a powerful country like Great Xia... and the wise and capable Emperor Xia, wasn't he also restricted in every way?"
"That's just because you don't understand the reliance of the aristocratic family!"
Gu Jingzhi said lightly, then changed the subject and said: "Let's not talk about this! Princess, please tell me why you invited me here today!"
"..."
Jin Lehuang picked up the teacup and said calmly, "This princess just said that I am interested in Master Gu!"
Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched, he put down the teacup and stood up.
"If the princess still says this today, then I can only say goodbye!"
"Don't be anxious, Master Gu!"
Jin Lehuang said with a smile: "After I finish speaking, if Master Gu still refuses, I will not keep you here!"
"Then please make your speech short!"
As for Jin Lehuang, Gu Jingzhi just wanted to stay away from her. Judging from what this woman had done some time ago, it was probably not a good thing.
He is quite satisfied with his current life now, and there is no need for him to go crazy with this woman.
"Some time ago, the Japanese princess and General Wu Song from the border sent a letter..."
Wu Song?
Gu Jingzhi frowned, then said calmly, "General Wu Song? Who is that? What does the exchange of letters between the princess and the border general have to do with me?"
"hehe!"
"Master Gu! Is it fun for you to keep pretending like this?"
"I do not understand what your Majesty means."
Jin Lehuang chuckled and said, "Master Gu once said that the Gu in your Gu Jingzhi is not the Gu in Gu Heng. This princess was puzzled, and later learned about Master Gu's life story from General Wu Song..."
"I never thought that Lord Gu's Gu is actually the Gu of my Yun Kingdom's great general Gu Shun!"
Gu Jingzhi was shocked.
Wu Songlian also said this?
Do not?
It's impossible!
Although Wu Song had only met him once, judging from Wu Song's personality, he would never reveal his background easily.
Gu Jingzhi calmed himself down, turned around, looked at Jin Lehuang calmly, and said, "My princess, you're joking. The Gu family of Yun State is a first-class military family. How could I possibly come from such a noble family?"
"is it?"
"Then how does Lord Gu explain what he said in front of Le Huang that day...that Gu is not Gu Heng?"
Although full of doubts, Jin Lehuang looked confident.
Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "I am not welcomed by the Gu family and have often been persecuted by them. After entering the court as an official, I discovered the evidence of the Gu family's crimes. Why not draw a clear line between us like this?"
"Ah……"
"What about Lord Gu's mother, Lin Wan, the eldest daughter of the Ningzhou Lin family?"
Gu Jingzhi's face was filled with surprise.
Jin Lehuang continued, "I heard years ago that the eldest daughter of the Lin family and the third son of the Gu family, General Gu Zhen..."
"enough!"
Gu Jingzhi shouted coldly, "Princess... Although I, Gu Jingzhi, am not as noble as you, if you continue to insult my late mother so brazenly... can't you foresee the fate of the Gu family?"
"Uh……"
Jin Lehuang was stunned for a moment, then explained: "Don't be upset, Master Gu, I have no other intentions!"
"I don't care what the princess means, but the princess doesn't need to say anything else. I just want to live a more comfortable life. I, Gu Jingzhi, and the princess have different paths... We can't work together!"
"Comfortable? Do you really think you can be comfortable?"
"You don't understand the power of aristocratic families at all. Once you leave, there's no turning back. Do you really think Emperor Xia is as tolerant as you think?"
"Regardless of whether you succeed or fail, do you think your ending will be good?"
