Chapter 347 At the end of the year, all parties are competing!
Gu Jingzhi was not quite sure what Wanzhen was thinking, but as soon as he said this, he felt a familiar feeling.
It seems that this is what happened between him and Qiao Shuwan last night!
But now that the words have been spoken, there is absolutely no reason to take them back, and no way to take them back!
Feeling the delicate little hands kneading his shoulders, Gu Jingzhi felt relaxed. With his eyes slightly closed, the recent events in the court kept coming to his mind.
After two days of inventory, he suddenly realized that there were indeed too many things weighing on him.
The sudden occurrence of the Empty Seal Case was beyond his expectations. He had originally been thinking about what excuse to use to promote currency reform after returning to Beijing, but he did not expect the Empty Seal Case to happen right before his eyes.
Using this case to cleanse the power of the aristocratic family is the most suitable option, but this will make all his plans become hasty again.
Fortunately, during those two years in Ningzhou, although he focused on the governance of Ningzhou, he did not give up on the current planning and made arrangements early!
Thinking that the empty seal case should be settled after this year, the next thing to do is to mint new coins.
It’s time for my family to come back!
By then, not only Gu Yunzhi, but also some people from the Lin family can be selected to cooperate with his subsequent plans.
Compared to himself, the Lin family has more manpower than him. Although the Lin family has fallen on hard times, they were once powerful and had more and wider connections than Gu Jingzhi!
Thinking about it...
His entire brain was like a computer, constantly running and organizing the things he was doing.
Wan Zhen placed her hands on both sides of his head and kneaded them gently, her eyes full of curiosity.
This young marquis asked me to help him bathe, and then he said nothing. If I didn't know, I would have thought he was asleep!
only……
It would be fine if he was indifferent to such a beautiful woman right in front of him, but why didn't he even look at her?
Wanzhen felt a little resentful.
Thinking of the noble's instructions, she suddenly gritted her teeth and stopped moving her hands. Seeing that Gu Jingzhi still had no reaction, she gently lifted up her gauze coat with both hands, shrank her shoulders slightly, and the silky coat fell down.
Probably because it was the first time she did this, Wanzhen's cheeks turned slightly red. Then she lifted her straight and round long legs and gently stepped into the bathtub.
The movement was very slight, but Gu Jingzhi still heard the sound of shaking water. Before Gu Jingzhi could react, he felt a delicate and soft touch.
"you……"
Gu Jingzhi opened his eyes, and what he saw was a delicate and tender white!
It makes me dizzy!
"Master Hou..."
Wan Zhen's breath was as fragrant as orchid, a little hot, and her voice was hoarse and lazy... with a hint of charm.
All the thoughts in Gu Jingzhi's mind suddenly dissipated, as if they were all thrown out of his mind in an instant. He looked at Wan Zhen, and Wan Zhen also looked at him, and opened her red lips slightly: "My Lord, let me serve you..."
As she spoke, she approached Gu Jingzhi shyly.
There was a warm feeling between the lips.
What the hell...
Anyone who wants to work after work is a fucking idiot!
The thought flashed through his mind, and then he concentrated on enjoying the beautiful scenery that was so subtle and peaceful.
……
In the following days, Gu Jingzhi almost went between three places: court, the Ministry of Revenue, and then home!
During this period, he mainly handled the daily affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, and then arranged people to reclaim high-quality mines in various places. Occasionally, he would go to the Ministry of Industry to give instructions on the methods of smelting gold and copper!
During this period of time, he has gathered quite a few useful people. Of course, most of them were placed by Emperor Xia, so things are progressing very smoothly!
After all, among the people arranged by Emperor Xia, he at least doesn’t have to worry about whether these people are usable!
As for after returning home, apart from the time he spent playing with Wanzhen every day, this woman followed him closely.
He was reading, writing, or handling official business in the study, and Wan Zhen was serving tea and grinding ink beside him.
If Gu Jingzhi was tired, she would be very considerate and rest his head on her broad bosom and massage him carefully.
In short, this life is fulfilling and enjoyable.
The Crown Prince left the capital with his men, and with fewer people watching over him, the Crown Princess would disguise herself almost every now and then and go to Gu Jingzhi's house to play with him.
This woman completely let herself go, that kind of madness... Gu Jingzhi was secretly amazed when he saw it.
Especially after she became addicted to playing Landlord, she even dragged Wanzhen and the other two to join forces to fight Gu Jingzhi, the landlord. But... the two of them were just starting to work together, so how could they be Gu Jingzhi's opponents?
Almost every time they played for two or three hours, they found that they couldn’t win even if they joined forces, so in the end they had to give up out of spite!
But within two days, he was excited again, as if he was addicted and high!
Anyway, Gu Jingzhi was also bored at home, so he was happy to accompany them for fun.
……
The Empty Seal Case caused a huge stir, but even with such a big commotion, the aristocratic families still didn't have time to erase traces of the past.
After all, Gu Jingzhi had done sufficient homework in the early stages. The prince's departure from the capital was more like picking peaches than investigating a case. He was completely straightforward based on the clues compiled by Gu Jingzhi.
The aristocratic families had no time to react at all.
Although the Central Plains is the heartland of the aristocratic families and the forces are intertwined, the prince has learned Gu Jingzhi's style of doing things.
Catch a group, release a group, and beat a group.
Thanks to the preliminary work done by Gu Jingzhi, Liu Sandao and others, Prince Brother's life in the Central Plains was very smooth.
However, the aristocratic families are not easy to deal with.
At least, when the prince had an absolute advantage, some families still chose to rise up in resistance, with assassinations and assassinations being frequent. In the largest-scale attack, several thousand people were dispatched to surround and kill.
However, although the prince's journey was dangerous, all of this was expected.
How could Emperor Xia send his most cherished son without making any arrangements? Whether it was the prince's guards or the masters guarding him, there were three layers of protection inside and outside.
The prince even used himself as bait to lure the aristocratic families into action, wiping out many of the aristocratic family forces in one fell swoop!
Although this method is dangerous, it was all planned long ago with Gu Jingzhi. It can be said that the prince is going to improve his political achievements this time!
The news from the Central Plains reached the capital. Although the court was furious, Emperor Xia was particularly satisfied.
After all, in this matter, he saw the courage and strategy of his heir.
It is a bit dangerous, but as a future king who will succeed the throne, what does this matter?
The most anxious person was Song Pu.
Because of the outbreak of the Empty Seal Case, he asked Emperor Xia to give him a vacation, and he had to stay at home for some time. Although Emperor Xia did not put him under house arrest, he did not let him attend court. Therefore, the more this happened, the more tormented he felt.
Emperor Xia had never thought of hiding what happened in the Central Plains from him, but the more he did so, the more frightened he became, because Emperor Xia's plan this time was too meticulous.
Even if he and the aristocratic family behind him wanted to resist, no matter what they planned, Emperor Xia had a way to deal with them one by one.
The reason why he didn't kill them all was because Emperor Xia had concerns. He knew these concerns and he also knew what Emperor Xia was waiting for.
But as long as he didn't express his stance, Emperor Xia's butcher knife would not stop. Although Emperor Xia hadn't made a final decision, people died every day, people were arrested every day, and even people...
Mutiny!
