Chapter 245 Siyu, do you want to take a leave?
At the palace gate in the morning, which was warmed by the sunlight, Gu Qingpei just walked away. The sunlight made his shadow very short. He walked back step by step, which felt a bit like turning the pages of a history book.
Gu Qingyun retracted his gaze and looked at the people around him with burning eyes, "Come in with me, are you scared?"
The others couldn't help but shake and nod their heads.
There is no one who is not afraid in the deep palace, but if you say you are afraid, it doesn’t seem that scary.
Besides being afraid, I am more confused.
I don't know what Gu Qingyun means by this, and I don't know what I will face.
Inside the palace gate, Eunuch Wei came with two eunuchs. They were unfamiliar faces. The moment Gu Qingyun raised his eyes, he saw the surging hatred in the other party's eyes.
Everyone else was stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Sir Shaoqing, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The emperor knows that the entire Dali Temple has arrived, so he specially asked this old servant to come out to greet them." Eunuch Wei looked calm, as if he was talking about a commonplace matter.
Gu Qingyun looked at the two people standing behind Eunuch Wei and couldn't help laughing. The emperor was too good at dealing with people. These two people were obviously from Guojiazhuang.
The first time they arrived at Guojiazhuang openly, the two men stopped them in this way.
Gu Qingyun could see that these two people were not marginal figures in Guojiazhuang, but they were not important figures either.
At least the emperor did not use the refugees who had just moved in to deal with him. His intention of bringing them to his front was very clear. I hope everyone will not mind it.
"It didn't take long. The emperor works day and night, and we are the ones who make him worry." Gu Qingyun nodded slightly and signaled the people behind him to follow.
The two men from Guojiazhuang probably had too much hatred in their hearts, and they were still staring at Gu Qingyun and the others, standing there motionless. Eunuch Wei kicked each of them hard.
"You are such a pervert. Can't you see that the person coming here is the Shaoqing? What's your status? You are staring at me with your eyes wide open. Did the Shaoqing allow you to look at me like that? Get out of here now! You have no perverted eyes."
Eunuch Wei's voice was sharp and sarcastic, and he seemed to be very angry.
The two men wilted in an instant, lowered their heads and dared not speak. Gu Qingyun didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the two men were gritting their teeth and could vaguely hear the sound of teeth colliding.
Similarly, Gu Qingyun did not say anything. He hid his thoughts and followed Eunuch Wei through the long palace wall all the way to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor was currently.
Zhao Huaiqing and others behind him were still a little confused. What was going on? They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so why did it feel like something sudden had changed?
Gu Qingyun has been acting weird these days.
How come the two people from Guojiazhuang became eunuchs?
What's going on with Gu Qing Pei?
The three of them were completely confused, but they didn't dare to raise their heads and look around. Except for Xinhai who dared to walk normally, the other two only dared to use their peripheral vision.
Xinhai would occasionally be called into the palace by Gu Qingyun, so he was quite familiar with him.
Several people had their own thoughts and ideas, and they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall in a daze.
Eunuch Wei motioned for the two men to go inside. The two men were obviously afraid of Eunuch Wei and went into the inner hall obediently.
Eunuch Wei was annoyed. "It's really strange. These two people just don't understand what people say. They are just country folk who have never been educated. They can't even do simple things like serving tea and water. It's really an honor to put them by the emperor's side."
Gu Qingyun was very grateful to Eunuch Wei for speaking up for them all along, although it was very likely that the emperor had ordered him to do so.
Find two scapegoats, give them a good lesson, let the Dali Temple calm down, and then save Guojiazhuang.
Gu Qingyun stepped into the hall, and several people followed him in. Although they did not often go to the palace, they still knew the etiquette.
"Your Highness." Gu Qingyun led a few people to pay their respects, but he never raised his head to look at the emperor.
The emperor motioned to everyone to stand up. Gu Qingyun did not see the angry expression of the emperor as he expected. Instead, he looked somewhat amiable.
Perhaps he has been too busy recently, so he didn't shave his beard, which made him look much more stable.
"Si Yu, why did you bring so many people from the Dali Temple to see me today?" The emperor was particularly good at pretending to be ignorant. He stroked the rough edge of the paper in his hand and looked at Gu Qingyun seriously, as if he really knew nothing about it.
Gu Qingyun knew that he couldn't hide it from the emperor, so he just said half-truthfully, "I have been feeling unwell recently, and wanted to come in and ask the emperor for a few months' leave to have a good rest. But my colleagues in the Dali Temple found out, and they all came to the palace gate to stop me, not letting me see the emperor. I can only bring them in, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."
He came here today to ask for leave, and he saw that the emperor was sincere. But if he said that everyone came here for Guojiazhuang, the emperor would definitely be furious.
The emperor really laughed out loud, "Si Yu wants to be lazy. She's still the same as when she was a child. She only cares about herself and doesn't care about other people. Hahahahahahahaha."
The emperor seemed to have heard a huge joke. He laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and kept laughing at Gu Qingyun for acting on his own.
Then he took a sip of ginseng tea and asked, "Siyu wants to take a leave to be lazy. What do you want to do? Besides, if you take a leave, what will happen to the Dali Temple?"
The Dali Temple is a relatively dangerous department, and the overtime hours are also quite long. Many new candidates think that this is a very bad government office, which is at the bottom, and are unwilling to go there.
No matter how well the Dali Temple does, it is still just the Ministry of Justice. Although the Ministry of Justice can also rise step by step, all it does are things that offend people.
The recent candidates are very good at playing with people's hearts and dealing with human relationships, and many people think that this is a talent that they don't want to lose.
"I still have a few people in the Dali Temple, and the ones I brought today are all pretty good." Gu Qingyun said with a stiff upper lip. The Dali Temple really has one job for each person, and there is no one more person who can be used.
Apart from the three people in front of me, there are really no other capable people.
The rest of the people were either entangled in old cases or were busy with the corrupt officials every day. Only a few people present were really willing to handle the homicide case.
The emperor chased after the thick pile of papers and said, "Siyu, I trust you. If it were someone else, who knows... they might not be as good as you."
After thinking for a while, the emperor said, "Wei Hualu, bring up the two new eunuchs and see if our Shaoqing likes any of them. It would be nice if they could help clean the tables or pour water at the Dali Temple later."
Gu Qingyun just felt his scalp tingling. Soon, several people came up. They all lowered their heads, but it was obvious that they had become eunuchs recently.
