Gu Jingyun knocked on the table, and the sound of "dong dong" all knocked on Er Lin's heart.

  Erlin was soaked with cold sweat on his forehead. He stood in the hall with his head down and his hands down, not daring to move. Footsteps soon came from outside the door. Nanfeng pushed the door in and said respectfully, "Master, Xiao is back."

   "Is it clear?"

"Yes, I found the old man who sells dumplings diagonally across from Gu Daru's house and the young servant at the corner of Ouyang's mansion, and wrote down all the people who visited their house in the past three days. Here is the list." Nanfeng Handing over the list, he gathered his hands and said, "It's just that the people they have contacted outside will have to find out tomorrow."

Gu Jingyun swept through the lists with one glance and ten lines, and finally pointed at "Wei Yuan" and said, "No need, find a way to find out which external officials I met in the six Ouyang Shangshu recently, and the conversations lasted for more than a quarter of an hour. Lan Qian, the right servant of the Ministry of Housing, find out what he said when he talked with Ouyang Shangshu."

  Nanfeng immediately led the order to retreat.

Erlin saw the master's deep eyes, and his heart trembled, and some did not dare to disturb him, but Qingxi Academy was about to finish school. If he didn't remind the master to pick up his wife, he wouldn't blame him when he came back to his senses. , will surely punish him.

   So Er Lin could only take a step forward and said tremblingly, "Master, it's already time."

  Gu Jingyun returned to his senses, looked out the window, and saw that the sun had already fallen, he hurriedly got up and tidied up his clothes, and said proudly, "Let's go, go to the academy."

  Er Lin breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed and stepped aside, waiting for Gu Jingyun to leave first.

   When the two of them drove the carriage to Qingxi Academy, before it was time for school, Erlin parked the carriage on the left side of the academy and waited for Li Baolu to come out.

   And Gu Jingyun leaned in the carriage and closed his eyes in thought.

  This morning, as soon as he learned that the princess and the princess of the Tartars were arranged in Baolu's class, he knew that Baolu had been tricked.

   But her identity is there, how many people in the capital dare to plot against her without looking at the faces of the Qin family and the prince?

   Rather than plotting against her, the sword glow is aimed at him behind her!

   And now, those who have such power and courage are only those few candidates.

   Since the other party chose not to come forward in person, but instead used Gu Daru and Ouyang Shangshu, it was not difficult to find out.

   It is enough to exclude the people they have seen in the past few days one by one.

If it was someone else who came forward, Gu Jingyun might find it difficult to find the people behind the scenes. After all, this game can be set up very early, and now in the first month of the year, there are many people who have been in contact with Gu Daru and Ouyang Shangshu. The layout at this time is simply wonderful, unless Gu Daru and Ouyang Shangshu speak, it will be difficult to know who gave them this idea.

   But Gu Jingyun stopped Ouyang Shangshu directly outside the court and asked him.

   Although he had few contacts with the Minister of Rites, he also knew that he was too pedantic. If no one reminded him, he would never have thought of interfering in the admission of the Tatar princess and the princess.

   So he stopped Ouyang Shangshu and directly asked him with a smile how he thought of arranging the Princess Tatar and the princess to enter his wife's class, do you trust his wife so much?

Ouyang Shangshu didn't think too much, and said bluntly: "Princess Muge has a noble status, and Princess Naren is arrogant. After they enter Qingxi Academy, I am afraid that other gentlemen will find it difficult to appease them, and the lady is not only talented, but also behind the scenes. Having you as a backer is always more suitable than other gentlemen, so I made a proposal with Chief Su Shan. What, does Gu Shi blame me for causing a problem for your lady?"

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "The problem is real, but it's not necessarily the lord's fault. I'm just curious as to how the lord always doesn't care about the affairs of the inner house, how did he think of my wife."

Ouyang Shangshu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Thanks to the reminder from Master Lan, otherwise I would not have thought of this, and the Princess Naren is too difficult to deal with, I am really afraid that they will enroll other female students instead. The teaching is broken, so I have to do something about it.”

   "Lan Qian, the right servant of the household department?"

   "Exactly." Ouyang Shangshu squinted and looked at Gu Jingyun suspiciously, and asked, "Why does Gu Shi seem unhappy, is there something I don't know about here?"

   Although Ouyang Shangshu was pedantic, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and Gu Jingyun had asked so many questions, he had already noticed something was wrong.

   Gu Jingyun smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's just that Gu is a little curious."

  Although he asked Ouyang Shangshu and guessed that the person who designed him was not him, Gu Jingyun still carefully and carefully asked people to inquire again to confirm.

  Lan Qian's brother-in-law, Zuo Ming, is the prefect of Zhangzhou, and Zuo Ming's wife is Peng Dan's concubine. Lan Qianming is not very close to Peng Dan, but Gu Jingyun is from a big family, and he is most familiar with these in-laws and old relationships.

   Everyone's various rituals may be normal, and in everyone's eyes, they are doing their best, but no one knows what the private relationship is.

   And went to Gu Da Confucianism to visit Wei Yuan, who was a scholar, but his father was a disciple of Peng Dan.

Gu Jingyun never neglected to use the most sinister intention to try to figure out others. Peng Dan was already on his list of suspicions. When he heard Lan Qian's name from Ouyang Shangshu in the morning, he was suspicious of him six points. Wei Yuan's name, this suspicion has reached eight points.

   If there are still two points left, we will wait for the subsequent investigation.

   Gu Jingyun sneered in his heart, whoever dared to drag Baolu into the water to plot against him, he would never let him go.

He believes that he is tolerant enough to the courtiers. He only becomes an official and does not hold power. He just studies in the Hanlin Academy and teaches at the Qingxi Academy. He has given up a lot of political resources. I don’t ask them to be grateful, at least they don’t to mess with him.

   Do you really think that it was because of the emperor's holy will that he did not hold real power?

   Gu Jingyun was only eight points sure, and he was still in the doubt stage, while Li Baolu was directly sure.

   As soon as she got into the carriage and saw Gu Jingyun, she immediately complained: "Jingyun, we were trapped by Peng Dan. It turned out that Qimuge and Naren were arranged by him to come to my class."

  Gu Jingyun: "..."

  Gu Jingyun opened his eyes and looked his wife up and down in surprise before asking, "How did you know?"

   He quietly took Peng Dan's suspicions by two points in his heart. He felt that Peng Dan could get this far in the officialdom, and he shouldn't have been noticed by his wife in half a day. Could it be that someone framed it?

If he hadn't obtained a detailed list of official marriages from him when he helped Jin seize the throne, and had focused on studying Peng Dan, trying to regain the power of the prince's lineage from him, he would not have noticed Lan Qian, Wei Yuan and Peng Dan. Relationship.

  Li Baolu pouted, "Naren said it herself!"

After speaking, I told him about today's events one by one, until my mouth was dry, and finally I poured out two cups of tea and said, "I just thought seriously about why Peng Dan did this, and I want to come here. If you want to go, is it because your uncle threatens his status?"

   "But this **** can't hurt my uncle." Li Baolu pouted and said, "Even if I really can't help but fight Naren, is there anything to do with my uncle?"

   "It has nothing to do with my uncle, but it has something to do with me," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "You forgot, I am your husband, and any mistakes you make will be endorsed by me. I think I know why he did this."

  Li Baolu looked at him with bright eyes.

   "From a few years ago to the present, the rumor that Your Majesty wants to reuse me has not disappeared, and once I have real power, how long do you think it will take to replace my uncle in the cabinet at my age?"

  Li Baolu hesitated, "Ten years?"

Gu Jingyun smiled lightly, "Let's call it ten years, Peng Dan is forty-eight this year, and Peng Yu is twenty-six, and his eldest grandson is eight years old. Peng Yu was not a jinshi, but entered the official position directly from his grandson, and now he is in the Prince's Mansion. Although he is also an official appointed by the imperial court, the difference is very big. In the future, he will not be able to enter the cabinet, and even the third rank will be difficult to enter, unless he tries his best to take the imperial examination."

"Peng Dan has a quota for Enyin, even if Peng Yu wants to take the exam, it is not difficult. Just start from the exam, as long as you enter the list, even if you don't have the chance to enter the cabinet in the future, it should not be difficult for the second and third rank officials in the frontiers," Li Baolu Said: "Prince is very fond of the past. When he was in danger, Peng Yu would even give up his life for him."

   "That's right," Gu Jingyun nodded, "but Peng Dan won't be satisfied with this, so his goal is his grandson."

"As long as he lives a little longer, it will be no problem for him to be a patriarch for fourteen or five years, and when Peng Yu has his connections in the court, he will not be too bad. He will support his in-laws or In the old days, someone took over his position as the patriarch and passed on his contacts. When his grandson grew up and repaid it, the person who took over would naturally give resources to his grandson. In this way, the Peng family could save fifty more. year's scenery."

   "But the premise is that no one squeezes him out, and his position as a patriarch is passed on to the next person according to his wish."

  Gu Jingyun proudly raised his head and said, "And if I start to gain real power, do you think his abacus will still be able to achieve his wish?"

  Li Baolu stared at him dazedly, and fell in love with his proud appearance.

Gu Jingyun didn't know it, and sneered arrogantly: "But he forgot that the most important thing in this world is variables, people can be counted as heaven, but they must not be counted as people in the world, even if I pride myself on being smart, I don't dare It is said that there will be no talents surpassing me in the next 50 years. He actually began to count me for these illusory rights."

"Then it must be because you are too powerful and put a lot of pressure on him." Li Baolu was not angry at this moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have made many people jealous, this is a good thing, it shows that you are very sharp."

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help but flicked her forehead, and said incredulously: "Silly girl, now that you've been tricked, can you still laugh?"

"It's alright, I've beat her to the ground. You don't know, Naren is a fierce face, and she's a scumbag on the inside. I'm so stupid that I can't kill her." Li Baolu was telling the truth, she went to find Na Renshi went there with the intention of inquiring, but she didn't expect that she would say it as soon as she asked the other party, so bold that she was embarrassed to attack.
