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

"Lord Gu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Qiao Zhen quickly stopped us, saying, "We are already guilty, and if we do this, it would be..."

"No problem!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "You will be in my delegation soon, and no one will dare to say anything!"

As he spoke, he patted the Great Xia Dragon Bird hanging on his waist and said, "Your Majesty is well aware of this matter and will certainly not blame me!"

What happened to the prince and the others today must have been intentional.

This prince was exiled. Even though he was a commoner, he was still the emperor's son. But someone actually sent a petty official to escort him. Isn't this a complete humiliation?

It’s just that the prince is not in a good situation right now, so he thinks it’s better to have less trouble than more!

……

The group waited here for a long time, and the carriage and war horses that Lin Feng had people bring finally arrived, followed by Liu Sandao and others. The two people behind him were carrying two boxes.

Gu Jingzhi took a look and immediately understood what was going on!

"Sir, everything has been handled!" Liu Sandao stood in front of Gu Jingzhi and said respectfully!

Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly, then said to the prince's family and Qiao Zhen's family, "There is no time to lose, let's set off as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Sandao and Lin Feng, and slowly walked towards Chen Yu's carriage.

The Crown Princess looked at his back and said, "I've never seen such an imperial envoy, traveling around the country for His Majesty, and bringing his family with him..."

"Ah……"

The Crown Prince smiled bitterly and said, "In addition to inspecting the northwest, Marquis Gu also serves as the prefect of Ningzhou. I'm afraid he'll be away for quite a while. How can a newlywed like him leave without his family?"

"That's right! However, given Marquis Gu's current rank, His Majesty has appointed him to take over the post of Ningzhou prefect. I believe there must be some deeper meaning behind this!"

The Crown Princess asked softly, "Does my husband know what this is?"

"not sure!"

The Crown Prince shook his head and said, "However, Marquis Gu is an extraordinary talent. Although he is a nobleman, he is a civil servant. Your Majesty must be taking this opportunity to send him out to gain experience in local governance!"

"So, Your Majesty intends to appoint him as Prime Minister in the future?"

The Crown Princess' eyes were filled with shock.

There is a saying in the officialdom of Daxia that only Hanlin can become prime minister, but to be a prime minister, one must also have rich experience in local governance.

Gu Jingzhi worked in the Hanlin Academy for a period of time, and he has not been removed from the secretary position given to him by the emperor until now, even after he was implicated by the prince.

This grace is evident.

Now he was arranged to be sent out, but because of his title of marquis, the official position he was given could not be too low, so he was given a temporary official title of imperial envoy, but in reality he was asked to act as the prefect of Ningzhou.

Isn't it just to let him accumulate local experience?

How could she know that these were only some of Emperor Xia's ideas? What was more important was that Emperor Xia wanted Gu Jingzhi to preside over the reform in Ningzhou. After all, the reform plan was proposed by Gu Jingzhi.

If Gu Jingzhi can change Ningzhou, one of the poorest provinces in Daxia, then no one will be able to question his ability in the future!

……

The imperial guards had traveled more than ten miles when Gu Jingzhi stopped the convoy at an intersection!

Chen Yu was a little puzzled and asked, "Husband, what are you doing?"

"Come down with me!"

Gu Jingzhi just said it lightly and then got off the carriage. Although Chen Yu didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions.

After the two got off the carriage, Liu Sandao came over carrying a box: "Sir..."

"go!"

Gu Jingzhi pulled Chen Yu, and Liu Sandao followed behind. As the leading captain of the imperial guard, Lin Feng naturally could not leave easily.

After the convoy stopped, the prince's family was a little confused. They looked at the backs of Gu Jingzhi and his wife. Qiao Shuwan asked curiously, "Why did they stop halfway?"

The prince was also a little confused.

Qiao Yang, who was standing by, saw his sister asking, so he said, "Should I go ask Captain Lin?"

"never mind!"

The prince said, "I guess he has something to do. Let's wait for a while!"

……

Gu Jingzhi brought Chen Yu to a cemetery. When Chen Yu saw the tombstone, he realized that this was the old servant who had always been by Gu Jingzhi's side.

Gu Jingzhi looked at Lao Huang's tombstone, sighed in his heart, and directly placed the box in Liu Sandao's hand in front of Lao Huang's grave.

"You old dog, do you blame me for avenging you now? I am now a marquis, but it's a pity that you didn't wait for me. I was even thinking of finding you a young widow, but you..."

Gu Jingzhi's eyes were slightly moist.

He didn't open the box, and inside it was Gu Xiu's head.

Chen Yu stood aside and listened, feeling strangely moved...

It seemed that her husband was very different from others. In ordinary families, the head of the household would not offer sacrifices to the servants. But the more this was the case, the more it showed her husband's character.

This is enough to show that her husband had a difficult life, as he could only live with servants in his early years.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jingzhi stood up and said to Liu Sandao, "Let's deal with it!"

Liu Sandao nodded silently, then picked up the box, dug a hole not far away and buried the box in it.

Gu Jingzhi said to Chen Yu, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come for a few years. Madam, please bow for me!"

"Ok!"

Chen Yu responded calmly, then bowed towards the tombstone.

"Let's go, the others are waiting!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled slightly, then covered Chen Yu with the cloak and pulled her away.

……

After returning to the guard, Gu Jingzhi saw Qiao Yang, the youngest son of the Qiao family, chatting with Lin Feng. Seeing Gu Jingzhi coming, Lin Feng stood up and shouted, "Cousin!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Now that we're done here, let's get on with the brothers!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Qiao Yang and said, "I just paid tribute to an old friend. I'm sorry to have troubled you all to wait for so long. Please take me to convey my apologies to His Highness!"

"Uh!"

Qiao Yang scratched his head and said, "Lord Gu, you are too kind. If it weren't for Lord Gu... I'm afraid we would have to sleep in the open!"

Gu Jingzhi just smiled and said, "Everything will pass. You were born in a powerful family, and after going through this, you will understand many things! You and Lin Feng are about the same age. If you have time in the future, you can go out more often!"

"Is it really possible?"

Qiao Yang looked slightly happy.

"of course can!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled and said, "I will be in Ningzhou for a long time in the future. Lin Feng is from Ningzhou Prefecture, so you can ask him to take you out more often in the future!"

"Thank you, thank you, Lord Gu!"

There was a hint of gratitude in Qiao Yang's eyes.

In the past few days, he has seen the fickleness of the world. His family has suffered, and some relatives who used to be close to them have also distanced themselves from them!

Especially the eldest sister-in-law, who divorced the eldest brother and left behind a pair of children.

The huge Chen Hou Mansion, which was once a bustling home for the powerful and wealthy, suddenly became deserted, and those people even sent minor officials to escort them.

This is nothing short of a humiliation!
