Chapter 363 The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is too strong
It's just that the palace banquet was too lively and there were too many people, so no one cared whether their eyes were entangled or not.
When everyone was drinking, Jing Luoquan went to Gu Congyun specifically and said that he had heard of the reputation of Shou Guogong's family over the years, which was really well-known. Now it is true that a tiger father has no dog son. General Gu has inherited his father's business. He wondered whether the soldiers stationed at the border of Dashun in the future would be renamed the Gu Family Army.
Gu Congyun did not care about such provocation. This kind of thing had been mentioned by people inside Dayao, especially when the Ministry of War was reformed. Most people used this to exaggerate the situation.
Before he could reply, the Emperor spoke up, "I've always wanted to facilitate this, but it was Minister Gu who refused, saying that no matter where the army is from, it's all Dayao's army and can't be named after a general. If the Gu family has two generations of garrisoning the border, and we have to change their names, then the generals who served there before should also keep their names. Since the Imperial Master has brought it up again today, please help me convince Minister Gu to accept the Gu Family Army proposal..."
Even the cunning and treacherous Jing Luoquan's eyelids twitched.
Such a relationship between the monarch and his subjects is too solid.
However, he privately thought that there was no truly solid relationship between the monarch and his subjects in the world. All those in power would be afraid of becoming too powerful and threatening the ruler, or of enclosing land to become a king. The explanation that Emperor Dayao had just given in such a hurry was probably only meant for him.
I have to say that this national teacher has a rich imagination.
Jing Luoquan pondered this inwardly, but remained expressionless. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you must be joking. I was only joking. Duke Shou is so selfless and impartial. He is truly a role model for our generation and a blessing to Dayao. Since General Gu doesn't want the name of the Gu Family Army, then so be it. However, I would like to ask the Duke a question."
Gu Congyun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jing Luoquan, and motioned him to continue.
Jing Luoquan coughed lightly and said, "My Lord, do you know how many people in this world spend their lives pursuing fame, wealth, and power, but often find nothing? But my Lord, from a humble background, has ultimately achieved remarkable achievements, and now remains indifferent to fame and fortune. This state of mind is truly admirable. However, I am curious, what exactly does my Lord seek?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Congyun smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency, Imperial Master, are mistaken. It's not that I don't want anything, but what I want is beyond the reach of fame, wealth, or power. What I seek is peace for my country and my people. As long as Dayao is prosperous and its people are safe, I will be content."
Upon hearing this, Jing Luoquan's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then he smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are a noble man, and I admire you. However, in this turbulent world, things often go against our wishes. I hope that Your Excellency, you will not forget your original intention in the future."
Gu Yuxuan, standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh again. "Master Imperial Preceptor is so strange! My father has always taken it as his duty to help the Emperor and protect the Great Yao. As an important figure in the Great Yao, the Imperial Preceptor is hoping that my father will not forget his original aspirations. What is he worried about? The Emperor isn't worried about this matter, and neither are the officials and people of the Great Yao. Yet, Master Imperial Preceptor is worried. It's quite interesting."
This time he was much more tactful and didn't directly say "It's not your turn to worry, who do you think you are!"
Jing Luoquan had just witnessed the courage of the young master of the Gu family, and he also knew that the emperor would not blame the youngest son of the Duke's Mansion, so he did not want to get entangled with him.
"Young Master is right. I spoke too much and deserve to be punished. This glass of wine is my apology to the Duke. I'll drink it. The Duke, just watch..."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand.
Seeing this, Gu Congyun gently waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about. "My child is rude, I hope the Imperial Master will forgive me. Since the Imperial Master has already finished his drink, I naturally cannot just stand by and watch, so I will drink with you."
After saying that, he also stood up and drank a glass.
The awkwardness that was about to begin was resolved in an instant.
Jing Luoquan didn't seem to be hit and moved closer to Gu Ruanci again.
"I guess this must be the world-famous Little Medical Immortal? I didn't expect him to be so young..."
Gu Ruanci asked, "Since I'm famous all over the world, and you all know that I'm the daughter of a Duke, you should know my age. Sixteen years old shouldn't be young. What should I look like?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Luoquan laughed heartily and said, "Please don't blame me, Little Medical Immortal. I made a slip of the tongue. I have heard that you are a great doctor and have saved countless lives, so I admire you and was a bit rude. I offer you a toast, Little Medical Immortal. I hope you don't mind."
Gu Ruanci watched him drink another glass of wine, but did not follow him.
"I don't deserve the reputation of saving countless lives. I save people based on my mood. My father has already been drinking with the Imperial Master. As a junior, I naturally dare not drink with them. I hope the Imperial Master will forgive me."
Gu Ruanci's dashing look made Bailixi feel even more itchy.
I've heard for a long time that the Chaoyang County Lady has a straightforward personality and a sharp tongue, but now I've finally experienced it.
But he wanted even more to conquer such a capable and fierce woman.
In Yamato, what kind of women had he not seen? If he wanted to conquer, he would conquer those who were not easy to mess with.
The loss of face in front of Gu Yuxuan before did not make him back down.
There is no retreat in the Yamato people's dictionary, only lying in wait and waiting for an opportunity to act.
Bailixi's lips curled up into a playful smile, and there was a glint of challenge in his eyes.
He slowly stood up, looking directly at Gu Ruanci, and said in an aggressive voice, "Little Medical Immortal, your medical skills and character make me, Bailixi, respect you. But a man from Yamato never gives up easily. Although I have lost face here today, I believe that one day, I will win your approval in my own way."
Hearing this, Gu Ruanci raised his eyebrows slightly, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What the Third Prince believes is quite weird. Don't believe it, it's quite stupid."
This time, the ministers finally couldn't help laughing, and even someone as dignified as the Queen Mother found it funny.
Bailixi lost face again. Jing Luoquan cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
"Our Third Prince has always been straightforward and has no evil intentions. It's not wrong to admire someone who is not easy to get. Don't you think so, Little Medical Fairy?"
Gu Ruanci glanced at Gu Yuxuan, who immediately understood and said, "There's nothing wrong with being ugly. After all, it's innate. It's not wrong to be ugly but still have the confidence to feel that you can live a beautiful life. After all, everyone has the right to be strong and perseverant. But not only does he flaunt his ugly side, but he also insists on getting close to people who clearly express fear and asking them to say he's handsome. Do you still think that's okay, Master Imperial Master? Of course, I'm not saying the Third Prince is ugly. I'm just making an analogy. I believe the Master Imperial Master is intelligent enough to understand, and the Third Prince certainly won't mind, right?"
