So no one can tell what the ending will be.
The two men really had no friendship. Even though Xue Zhidao had written a letter to Gu Zheng before, asking him to speak for the empress dowager in the court, and seemed to be recommending him to replace his position, Gu Zheng was grateful for this favor, but he also did not forget that before that, it was Xue Zhidao who had been suppressing him and not letting him stand out.
Although it was well-intentioned, people were worried that he was young and impulsive, and if he rose too quickly, he would be easily defeated. But it was more because of their different political views.
It is an indisputable fact that there are huge differences between the two in all aspects.
So, having said this, Gu Zheng stood up and said goodbye. Xue Zhidao walked two steps away, but he repeatedly declined. As he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered someone and turned to ask, "Prime Minister Xue, do you know the Supreme Master Huiru?"
"Of course I know that. The title of Princess Anping was handed down by me. This princess is a miserable person. She is like an invisible person in the palace. No one would think of her unless something happens. She is very low-key and there are few rumors about her outside. Why?" Xue Zhidao looked puzzled.
Gu Zheng shook his head, "I saw it in the palace today, and suddenly remembered it."
In fact, he is knowledgeable and well-informed. As a member of the royal family, how could he not remember He Qing's life?
Born in the last years of Emperor Hui's reign, she was less than a year old when he passed away and was succeeded by Emperor Ling. This emperor, who cared little for the throne, naturally paid no attention to his infant sister, not even bestowing her with a title, allowing her to grow up in obscurity. It wasn't until his nephew, Emperor Xian, ascended the throne that he discovered there was another young aunt in the palace. He bestowed upon her the title of Grand Princess Anping, briefly bringing her into the public eye, but she was quickly forgotten.
Although she was from a wealthy family, she seemed like a transparent person. Others didn't care about her, and she herself probably didn't have an opinion. How could she suddenly decide to become a monk and become a good friend of the Empress Dowager?
Furthermore, the person he met today didn't look like someone who could keep a low profile for so many years, unmentioned by anyone. Even if she truly lived in seclusion, pursuing the truth within the palace every day, with her gracious demeanor, the palace folk would at least discuss her and spread the news.
But Gu Zheng just kept the matter in his heart and didn't say anything more.
He would eventually figure out what was going on.
…
At this moment, He Qing in the palace was also mentioning Gu Zheng to the Grand Empress Dowager. "When I came in just now, I saw Chief Steward Liu leading a young official in a crimson robe out. Could this be the Scholar Gu that the Grand Empress Dowager mentioned earlier?"
