Gu Junwen looked up in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man sitting to the lower right of Emperor Mingde.

He was about 30 years old, wearing a purple robe with a golden python and a black jade crown. He lazily held up the wine glass, looking noble and extraordinary, and the whole person seemed willful and unbridled.

The most eye-catching thing is the green jadeite ring on his hand.

This ring is made of a kind of jade that is only produced on the top of Kunlun Mountain. There are only a few pieces of it in the entire Qisheng Dynasty, and they are all monopolized by the royal family.

All of this is enough to prove that this person is deeply favored by the emperor.

A name from the original text immediately jumped into Gu Junwen’s mind: Regent Chu Yun.

The original book once described that Chu Yun was born into a noble family outside the region and entered the Qisheng Dynasty alone fifteen years ago. His "Kyoto Fu" caused the paper in Kyoto to be expensive, and later he won the top three prizes in the imperial examinations, and even became a close friend with the emperor regardless of age difference.

In just five years, Chu Yun unexpectedly became the Regent of the Qisheng Dynasty, truly second only to the emperor.

"Host, you guessed correctly. This person is the Regent Chu Yun, who is only in his early thirties this year. Warm reminder, his opinions often represent the emperor's opinions." System 101 said in a low voice.

Unfortunately, Chu Yun and Gu Junwen had no intersection in the original book, let alone this plot. Gu Junwen had no choice but to be patient and listen to how Emperor Mingde answered.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde put down his wine glass and looked very casual: "What do you think, my dear minister?"

Chu Yun hurriedly stood up and saluted Emperor Mingde: "Your Majesty, I think that General Gu should live in General Su Changsheng's mansion. General Su is a military commander and the uncle of the major general, so he is the most suitable."

Gu Junwen recalled carefully that his mother's surname was Su, and she was also a daughter of a general. The Su family in Kyoto was indeed Gu Junwen's uncle's family.

The Su family was honest and upright, and had offended many people. In recent years, they had fallen into decline. Her uncle had written to her many times in the past three years to show his concern, but it was a pity that he had an old illness in his early years and did not appear at the banquet at the Golden Terrace today.

If I could live in my uncle's house, it would definitely save me a lot of trouble and it would be a good choice.

Living in my uncle's house means peace and quiet.

Purity means no worries.

Having no worries means you can just lie back and relax.

Gu Junwen's eyes lit up when he thought of this. Unfortunately, there were always people who couldn't bear to see Gu Junwen live comfortably.

As soon as Chu Yun finished speaking, the voice of an unbridled young man interrupted the conversation.

"Your Majesty the Regent are joking. General Su has been recuperating for many years. How can we disturb him casually? It would be best to let the young general live in my house. We are of similar age and it would be much more convenient for us to live together."

The speaker was Emperor Mingde's third son, Prince Yu Ye Xiu Yu.

He was always outspoken and self-willed, and was very much loved by Emperor Mingde. So when Emperor Mingde and the Regent were talking, no one stopped him.

Sure enough, after hearing the third prince's words, Emperor Mingde just pointed at him and smiled, without scolding him. Chu Yun also did not react at all.

"Third brother, how can you interrupt when the elders are talking?" The eldest prince, Prince Lin, Ye Xiulin, raised his glass to Gu Junwen from a distance, "You have only been in office for a few years, and you love to make trouble. It is better to let General Gu live in my house. I think General Gu would like to live a quiet life for a few days."

"You." The third prince was so anxious that he seemed to jump up. His second brother grabbed his sleeve and he had to sit down reluctantly and took a sip of tea.

Emperor Mingde just maintained a calm expression, took a sip of wine quietly, and said nothing.

In fact, everyone understood that the whole fight was just for the half tiger talisman on Gu Junwen's body.

Gu Junwen really wanted to tell everyone that rumors are not to be trusted and that rumors stop at wise people.

But she couldn't tell him. For one thing, everyone in Kyoto had their own thoughts and no one might believe her even if she told him.

Secondly, she is not stupid. This half tiger talisman is a hot potato, but it is also her life-saving talisman and the guarantee of her survival.

Civil and military officials continued to join the discussion. As everyone argued back and forth, Emperor Mingde's eyes seemed to be murky and unclear.

Chu Yun understood Emperor Mingde's thoughts best. Suddenly, he curled his lips and smiled, left the table, took the wine glass and came to Gu Junwen: "What do you think, General Gu?"

He threw the problem back to Gu Junwen.

This was the first confrontation between the two men, and also represented the emperor's first test.

While drinking, Gu Junwen accidentally touched Chu Yun's fingertips, and a fierce voice immediately rushed into her mind: This child is becoming more and more difficult to control, so it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Gu Junwen widened his eyes uncontrollably and looked at Chu Yun, who had a gentle face, which made Chu Yun feel confused.

Gu Junwen complained inwardly: Sure enough, those who hold high positions in Kyoto are not ordinary people. Is it popular in Kyoto to change faces? She said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. No, no, she wanted to leave.

Gu Junwen stood up as if he was escaping, but was tripped by the heavy carpet and fell to his knees in front of Emperor Mingde's desk.

"Your Majesty, I will follow your orders." Gu Junwen, who wanted to stay away from Chu Yun, could only speak with gritted teeth.

However, she completely ignored Chu Yun's embarrassed figure and the whispers of several princes.

Everyone looked at Jun Wen with increasingly profound eyes. He was indeed a smart man and worthy of attention.

At this time, Gu Junwen felt deeply resentful.

Is it that salted fish is not worthy of eating? She hasn’t even had the braised pig’s trotters she’s been craving for yet.

In his mind, the Machiavellian system was so angry that it became autistic. It seemed as if it saw that this year's medal was about to slip away from it again, just like it had been gone for three years.

"At this point, you're still thinking about the braised pig's trotters. Host, find the male lead!"

"Oh, isn't that what I'm looking for?" Gu Junwen slightly shook his body kneeling on the ground, waiting for Emperor Mingde's answer.

Good attitude, no action. This is Gu Junwen's style.

The Machiavellian System 101 rolled its eyes and said, “Forget it. I won’t force it. Let the host fend for himself.”
