Chapter 62 Negotiations
Ye Qing's heart beat like a drum.

She thought about it all night last night.

If one wanted to respond to the student's petition, no matter whether it was Chun Wei's fraud or Wang Lisong's case, Gu Shihai couldn't get around it.But right now, she and Gu Shihai are really disparate in strength, it can be said that they have a close relationship.

After thinking about it, she felt that the only thing about herself that Gu Shihai liked was the empress position that she had already promised to the Chen family.

When she got married to the Chen family, she originally hoped that Chen Yuansi could help her contain Gu Shihai, but she never thought that Chen Yuansi, an old fox, had nothing to do with him, so he would hang himself high and call himself sick at every turn.

Thus, Ye Qinghuai had an idea.

She wanted to try to see how much the queen's position weighed in Gu Shihai's heart.

When Gu Shihai heard Ye Qinghuai throw out such a sentence, his eyes lit up instantly, and after being surprised, his eyes became a little more vigilant.

Ye Qinghuai saw that he was moved, and added: "I can also issue an edict immediately, making the son more precious than long."

The implication is that the empress allowed her son-in-law to be the crown prince before entering the palace.

This condition is not unattractive.

Gu Shihai tentatively asked: "Does Your Majesty want to stand side by side?"

Ye Qinghuai shook her head: "I will only have one empress, and only one prince. Mr. Chen Gel, if he is not engaged, he will not be counted."

Gu Shihai couldn't help taking a breath, squinting his eyes and looking at Ye Qinghuai, as if he wanted to see what she was planning.

"I'm serious. As long as Mr. Gu Ge agrees to my request."

She looked at Gu Shihai with a determined expression, like a gambler who has made a bet and left.

The corner of Gu Shihai's mouth curled up like a blade, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Your Majesty is so forthright, the minister also spoke out."

"Mr. Gu Ge, please tell me." Ye Qinghuai said seriously.

"Your Majesty wants to try these cases, you can do whatever you want, but Luo Zichang and Du Jing can't move."

Ye Qinghuai subconsciously thought about it, if she should come down at this moment, how should she obey her in the future?

Gu Shihai pierced Ye Qinghuai's thoughts with a glance, and said: "I am not discussing with His Majesty, but telling His Majesty. Your Majesty can't move the two of them."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes full of warning.He exuded that suffocating sense of oppression again.

The injury on Ye Qinghuai's shoulder suddenly hurt, causing sweat to drip down her forehead.

She took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Luo Zichang privately transferred the imperial army today, which is seen by the officials all over the world. If Mr. Gu Ge insists on asking me to cover up his crimes, the rules will never change, and the law will not work. Everyone can do it." If you follow suit, this will be a catastrophe for the whole country!"

Gu Shihai turned his head and glanced at Luo Zichang in the distance. He knelt on the ground and remained motionless. He had long since lost the prestige of the commander of the imperial army. Looking at him from a distance like this, he was a bit pitiful.

Luo Zichang and him were acquaintances in the army. The two had fought in the army together, and they were comrades in arms who lived and died together.He has been by Gu Shihai's side for so many years, and he never shirks every time there is a need, and he never let Gu Shihai lose the chain once.

In the morning court today, he originally ordered He Qingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Luo Zichang to go to the inner palace to ask for orders, but He Qingchang, who was suspected of treason, entered the emperor's bedroom without the inner court's notice. After evading it, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and fled. Only Luo Zichang took the forbidden army to Jingshou Palace to ask for orders.

The transfer order was not invited, Luo Zichang was full of guilt when he saw Gu Shihai, and asked to send troops out of the palace.

If this matter is pursued, it can indeed be said that Luo Zichang went his own way and has nothing to do with Gu Shihai.

However, Gu Shihai was really reluctant to get rid of such a capable and caring subordinate, and still hold the heavy duty of palace defense.

On the one hand, he is the supreme head of the country, and on the other hand, he is the right-hand man who has followed him for many years.

Gu Shihai hesitated.

Although he was an official to the second assistant and held great power, he was always overwhelmed by Chen Yuansi.Now, there is an excellent opportunity in front of him, as long as he stretches out his hand to seize this opportunity, he can completely and forever step on Chen Yuansi's feet.

After a while, Gu Shihai finally made a decision.

"The position can be abolished, but Luo Zichang has served the country for many years, devoted himself to his duty, and his merits and demerits are equal, so he can be exempted from prison."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai was looking at him.

Looking at each other, Ye Qinghuai instantly understood what Gu Shihai was up to.

In her previous assumption, Gu Shihai would never agree to her conditions so easily.

And he gave in so happily at this moment, naturally because there are other backers.

He did not fight for Luo Zichang's power, but only asked Ye Qinghuai to keep his life.

There is only one possibility, that is, he thinks that in the future, by virtue of his status as the head of the country, he will use the queen and prince to lift Ye Qinghuai and monopolize the power of the court.At that time, whoever the court wants to use, even if Luo Zichang is to be re-used, isn't it all a matter of Gu Shihai's words?
Ye Qinghuai even had reason to suspect that the moment the queen gave birth to the crown prince was probably the time of her death.

As if to confirm Ye Qinghuai's conjecture, she soon heard Gu Shihai say: "I have one more request. The Gu family does not need any engagement ceremony, nor does it need a one-year period. Your Majesty, please do it within a month." After the big wedding ceremony."

Ye Qinghuai's heart skipped a beat, she smiled guiltyly, and said, "Old Gu Ge is so eager to marry a daughter."

"I'm afraid the night will be long and dreamy." Gu Shihai didn't shy away from it, and replied directly.

He looked at Ye Qinghuai with a frosty face, which made people feel irresistible.

"Mr. Gu Ge, I am still obedient to filial piety. Marriage during the filial piety period is unfilial and violates regulations. Neither the Ministry of Rites nor the Taiqing Pavilion will agree." Ye Qinghuai said.

"The law is reasonable and sympathetic. Now that the emperor's heir is withered and there is no heir to stand, Guo Zuo should be the first. There is no need to worry about the Ministry of Rites and the Taiqing Pavilion. The minister has his own way to make them nod."

Ye Qinghuai sneered in her heart, did she look worried?
But Gu Shihai's expression was firm, it could be seen that he had no intention of giving in on this matter.

Knowing that he couldn't make sense of reason, Ye Qinghuai tried to move it with emotion: "Loyalty and filial piety are valued in great sight. As the king of a country, Gu Ge wants to put me in a situation of disloyalty and disfilial piety?"

Gu Shihai glanced at Ye Qinghuai with a calm expression, and said slowly: "What does your Majesty's reputation of loyalty and filial piety have to do with my minister?"

Ye Qinghuai took a deep breath, feeling that the blood all over her body rushed to the top of her head, and she was a little out of breath.

She couldn't help but think of Gu Shihai's last time in Jingshou Palace, "Isn't it fun to be in the harem?"

The veins on her forehead popped up, and she smiled back in anger: "Gu Shihai, I admire you very much. Really. You are more versatile than Chen Yuansi."

Gu Shihai looked at her, showing a icy smile, and said: "Both each other, and the veteran also appreciates His Majesty. Your Majesty is much more courageous than the two late emperors."
