Chapter 937

937 He was so envious

In the end, grandfather Gu didn’t accept it. He only asked the Empress Dowager to support the children in the future.

If they really let their entire family be Wangye, Marquis, princesses, or junzhu, the Emperor would be suspicious and it would be troublesome.

The Grand Empress Dowager had her own plans in her heart. In any case, she wanted to make her son a Prince in her lifetime. Her grandson’s lowest rank would be a Marquis, and her granddaughter would be a Princess. Her great-grandson would inherit the title, and her great-granddaughter would marry the best son of the great Zhou.

When people get old, they become more stubborn, and this had almost become the obsession of the Grand Empress Dowager for the rest of her life.

In the afternoon, Grand Empress Dowager Xiao was having lunch at the Gu residence. Everyone had already met each other and were familiar with each other.

Other than third aunt and fourth uncle Gu’s family, all the other grandchildren were here. The Grand Empress Dowager was so happy that she even drank a small cup of wine. In the afternoon, she took a short rest at the Gu residence and left after dinner.

After returning to the palace, the Emperor immediately went to report, ” “Royal grandmother, you’ve finally returned! Your grandson listened to you this time and didn’t let anyone follow you. So, where did Imperial grandmother go?”

The Empress Dowager laughed,”I just went out to play.” It’s quite interesting to meet the family of top scorer Gu.”

The emperor’s eyes lit up,”interesting!” His grandson had long found their family interesting. Has the child grown up yet? Little ninren, you don’t know that kid still stuck to me last year. He didn’t even care about his father. Do you have good eyes?”

The Empress Dowager said,”little ninren, you’ve turned into a ball.” Their child was really good-looking. Speaking of which, it is the same as when you first entered the palace, a round pile, very likable.”

The Emperor also thought of his own childhood, and when he thought deeply about it, he became depressed.

He was supposed to be a carefree king who could eat, drink, and have fun with Majesty Kang, but he ended up in the palace.

He had heard from eunuch Fu that the eldest son of the Gu family had come to the capital and became familiar with Majesty Kang and eunuch Cheng ‘en in a few days. Then, he had fun everywhere and rolled up his sleeves to scold and fight. He was so envious!

AI, why didn’t Imperial grandmother choose Imperial uncle Kang to be the Emperor back then? why did she choose his Imperial father?

The Emperor did not understand at all. When the old lady had first chosen the people, she had chosen him at first glance, not his father.

As it turned out, the old lady had a good eye for things, and the Emperor was much better than Majesty Kang.

The Grand Empress Dowager saw the emperor’s constantly changing expression and knew that he was starting to slack off again. She coughed twice and asked, ” “Cough, cough, Emperor, for you to come to this widow’s place so late at night, is it because there are matters in the court?”

The Emperor came back to his senses and said seriously, ” Royal grandmother, there was an urgent report from kun city a few days ago. The county Magistrate of kun County, langge country, colluded with Peng family Army and sold the defense map. Langge country launched a surprise attack, and nearly ten thousand soldiers died in kun city.

“Who is the magistrate of kun city?” the Empress Dowager’s eyes widened.

The Emperor: ” King Qu’s men only managed to find evidence in his study after this incident. Unfortunately, he committed suicide by swallowing gold. There’s no evidence. King qu has a good reputation among the people and has done many things to benefit the people. I have never doubted him. However, compared to King qu, I trust the Peng family more. Therefore, it’s not a good time to deal with the qu King.”

The Empress Dowager also understood the emperor’s meaning. The district Magistrate of kun city had committed suicide by swallowing gold. If the royal family wanted to kill someone who had done so many good things to the people, it would definitely not win the hearts of the people. The great Zhou had seized the country from the previous dynasty less than a hundred years ago. If they rashly disposed of King qu and lost the hearts of the people, then the great Zhou would be in chaos.

The current king qu was of the same generation as grandfather Gu. King Qu’s father was the eldest son of the founding Emperor, and the one who succeeded him to the throne was the first wife’s son, who was also the husband of the Grand Empress Dowager. He was grandfather Gu’s father and the grandfather of the current Emperor.

The Grand Empress Dowager had always been on guard against King qu, but King Qu’s residence had a good reputation among the commoners, and it was indeed the truth.

However, this kind of person who had the heart of a rebel could not be allowed to live. Moreover, his subordinates had already colluded with the enemy and had severely injured the great Zhou’s soldiers.
