Chapter 127 Dongtu and Xiwu
After facing down, no? Few people looked at Gu Zizhan, with many emotions hidden in their eyes, shallow but deliberate.
Gu Zizhan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little funny in his heart.This person, when dealing with the unknown, is more used to starting from his own standpoint.As everyone knows, when the disparity between power and status is too great, too much guessing will make you confused.
As time went by, Gu Zizhan had already woken up from the initial chaos.When returning to calm, Gu Zizhan always thinks how lucky she is to have someone to accompany her out of the mist, no matter how long the journey is, she is willing to wait for her.
At that time, Gu Zizhan's heart was filled with sadness and confusion, and she also intentionally split herself because of self-doubt.She is afraid that there is something in her? No? It belongs to her, and she can't tell? ? Voluntary resistance.Gu Zizhan? She is willing to think about it, but she can't deceive herself. She is afraid that the part that Chu Lan falls in love with is the part that does not belong to her.
Chu Lan naturally noticed it, and felt a little sad inevitably.Her lover, who was always warm and cheerful like a sunny day, would become so worried about gain and loss one day.But after thinking about it, it's not too human.For them, it is still far from the difficulty.
Compared with Gu Zizhan, she is an outsider, and bystanders should always be more sober.Then, naturally, she should give guidance and relief.
On that day, Gu Zizhan sat in the study until late at night. Looking at the time, he thought that Chu Lan should have fallen asleep, so he got up and went back to the bedroom.But no? Thinking that Chu Lan was sitting under the lamp reading a book, this posture was clearly waiting for her.
Gu Zizhan was a little embarrassed for a while, Chu Lan raised his eyes to look at her, and said lightly, "I'm back."
Gu Zizhan nodded and smiled, "Alan? Don't wait for me, go to bed first."
Chu Lan put down the book, got up and walked to her side.He took off her robe very naturally, and said in a slow voice, "Go wash up first, don't worry about me. Later, I have something to say to you."
Gu Zizhan was a little embarrassed, hummed, and went to wash in the inner room.She procrastinated on purpose, a little afraid of what Chu Lan might say to her, words that she didn't know how to answer.
But after all, he couldn't escape it. After nearly half an hour, when Gu Zizhan returned to the bedroom, he saw that Chu Lan had stopped reading and was sitting by the couch, wondering what he was thinking.
Opening his mouth, Gu Zizhan only spat out an apology, "I'm sorry, Alan, I let you down."
Chu Lan frowned lightly, a little surprised, and then a little clear.With a shallow smile, he said, "Why did you say that?"
Gu Zizhan stepped forward, buried his head in Chu Lan's arms, and sighed half-kneeling: "I know these days, I've made you worry. But I didn't mean it, and neither did I? I don't know why, but suddenly I feel Everything has changed, even myself, seems to have changed. I am very scared."
Chu Lan caressed the top of her hair, and said softly: "East rabbits and west clouds, the passing of the sun is like water, the past has never changed, and the relationship with the king, the friendship between the two, the same heart? It has never changed. , I have never changed, and you? How? In my heart?"
In these few short sentences, Chu Lan spoke gently and firmly.Gu Zizhan's eyes were astringent, and his arms were wrapped around Chu Lan's waist, but his hands were clenched into fists, and the nails of his thumb were carved into his flesh, trying not to cry.
Chu Lan sighed softly, spread out her palm, and pressed it against her waist. "I met Gu Che before, and I also knew Cheng Wu when I was young." She didn't say any more, but the meaning in her words couldn't be more clear.From the beginning to the end, the Gu Zizhan in her eyes and heart has never changed.
Gu Zizhan raised his head, met Chu Lan's eyes, and looked deeply into her eyes.
After a long time, a smile spread across Gu Zizhan's face.
"Alan, you are right, from the beginning to the end, Gu Zizhan is the only one for me."
She has armor.
**********
After the edict of Emperor Tianshun was issued, several princes sent their sons into the palace.Emperor Tianshun did not specify the limit on the number of people, and therefore, everyone's thoughts can be seen from the number of people.
Although Emperor Tianshun treated Gu Zizhan very coldly, he would patiently give advice when discussing the government affairs.He told himself in his heart that all this was out of helplessness, but he was not sure how long he could deceive himself.
Right now, the heirs of all the princes have arrived in the capital, so Emperor Tianshun picked up the roster and began to explain to Gu Zizhan one by one.
Pointing to one of them, Emperor Tianshun opened it and threw it to Gu Zizhan. He closed his eyes and said, "This is Gu Xi, the fourth king of Yan. Besides me, he is now the oldest. He has eight sons. This time, he called all eight of them here in one go, which shows that he has a lot of ambitions. But he has many sons, but he doesn't have a legitimate son. ? What a big prospect. When they come, just hang it aside."
Gu Zizhan listened carefully, and when Emperor Tianshun finished speaking this book, he picked up another one and handed it to him.
Emperor Tianshun glanced at it, then threw the roster to her, and continued to close his eyes.
"Gu Rong, the eighth-generation king, usually keeps a low profile. Apart from the concubine, there are only three or two concubines in his family. He has never dared to approach me. It's just that his fiefdom is closer to foreign countries, and he was also a leader in the early years. Those three sons who have served in the army, I met them a few years ago, and they all looked quite strong. This time, except for the eldest son who was canonized by me as the eldest son, the other two are here. You should pay more attention when the time comes. If you can use it, you can pull it over."
And emphatically, "Remember to use kindness and power together, when dealing with warriors, let alone make them lose their awe."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Tianshun raised his eyes to look at Gu Zizhan, seeing her serious face, he was somewhat satisfied in his heart.Taking a long breath, he picked up the last one again.
After clicking on the name above, Emperor Tianshun said, "This one is the key point."
"Old ten Gu Mei, who was named the King of Liang, is almost 20 years younger than me. How old was your grandmother when she was pregnant with him? He is too young, and he is considered a child of old age. He has been loved since childhood. But you can't underestimate him. Go, when the grandpa/grandfather raised the army, Gu Mei followed him to the battlefield when he was more than ten years old, and made a lot of military exploits. When I succeeded to the throne, he was very knowledgeable and took the lead in sending the son-in-law into the palace to secure me Heart. For so many years, there is only one wife and one concubine, and the two sons are also legitimate sons, so it can be seen that she can be ruthless and restrain herself."
"This kind of person, if he uses it well, it is the best dagger, but if he is a little careless, he may harm himself. He only sent a young son this time, how can you Be careful."
Gu Zizhan nodded, "It's Gu Jiang who came. I've heard from Gu Tao that he likes to play with words, and he doesn't seem to have great ambitions."
Emperor Tianshun also hummed, and then added: "That's not it? You can be careless."
Gu Zizhan smiled slightly, "I know, Father, don't worry."
Emperor Tianshun looked at her.After those things happened earlier, he became cold towards Gu Zizhan.But Gu Zizhan still respects and cares about him and the queen.People's hearts are fleshy. Although there are dissatisfaction and regrets in his heart, he still can't hold back the smiling face that looks at each other all day long, and the admiring father.He has never had a daughter before, and now it seems that the one in front of him can be regarded as a kind of caring.But these thoughts, he will never? Will say it out.
With a long sigh, Emperor Tianshun rubbed the center of his brows, "Do your best, don't worry about me being tired."
Paused, no? Wanting to talk about these government affairs again, he changed the subject and asked, "How is Manman these days?" And then, he asked: "She is used to acting like a baby, don't you? Don't indulge her too much."
Gu Zizhan laughed, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness. "Manman is very obedient, but she is a bit greedy and likes to eat sweets. The queen mother told me that she is like this, it is up to you. Let me and Lan'er control her, lest she eat too much sweets and her bones will not grow strong."
Emperor Tianshun smiled, obviously not very satisfied with the queen's words, but he didn't want to express too much.He waved his hand and reprimanded, "Nonsense."
Gu Zizhan frowned.
And? After reading the excerpts for a while, Emperor Tianshun led her to Hekun Palace for dinner.
**********
Soon, it was the fifteenth day of the eighth month, and all the clansmen entered the palace.
Everyone's situation was basically determined by Emperor Tianshun.
The eight sons of Gu Xi, King of Yan, simply came to sacrifice themselves to set off others.The oldest one is 45 years old, and the youngest is no more than twelve or three years old. They are all chubby. Standing together, they look like a set of three generations of nesting dolls.Wen is not? Chengwu is not, Emperor Tianshun questioned several people, and the auspicious words in the answers were all exactly the same, and there was no difference at all.
Emperor Tianshun lost his patience, and cast a glance at Gu Zizhan, motioning for her to take these guys down quickly.
Gu Zizhan went up to the front and said to the oldest man named Gu Bo: "Brother, I have a heart with you brothers. The banquet is set at Xushi. You can go to bathe and change clothes first, and take a rest. There will be palace people coming to greet you." .”
Gu Bo looked at him, and he was a little flustered when he responded, and he wanted to pray for the full salute.Gu Zizhan stopped him and said politely: "My brother, there is no need to be so polite."
Gu Bo opened his mouth, and before he could answer, a brother about 30 years old answered behind him: "Brother, what are you doing in such a panic, don't lose your sense of proportion in front of His Highness, and lose the face of our Yan Palace After that, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward to push Gu Bo away, and said to Gu Zizhan, "Gu Yi is the third son of the King of Yan. My brother has always been shy, isn't he? If you dare to worry about His Highness, I will lead my brother back first." down."
The smile on Gu Zizhan's face remained unchanged, but his brows were frowning in his heart. He was very displeased with the way this man dragged his elder brother to show himself.
Emperor Tianshun's eyes, no? He cast his gaze here, glanced at it, and then turned back.
Next, the two sons of acting king Gu Rong also went forward to salute Emperor Tianshun.
With the eight sons of Yan Wang as the foundation, the two Dai Wangfu look quite handsome.He is tall and tall, and has a free and unrestrained personality. He does not speak literally, but when he responds, he adds a bit of boldness.
Gu Zizhan wanted to make friends in his heart, and his words became more sincere.
After seeing off the two of them, it was the turn of Liang Wang Gu Mei's youngest son Gu Jiang to appear.
The Mid-Autumn Festival gifts that Liang Wang sent to Emperor Tianshun were very particular, and gifts were given to everyone in the palace according to their status and preferences.What was given to Emperor Tianshun was a map of mountains and rivers carved from white jade, and what was given to Gu Zizhan was a BMW from the Western Regions.In addition, there are other gifts for the queen, Chu Lan and little Gu Lang.Gu Jiang is indeed very knowledgeable. When talking about these gifts, he also quoted scriptures and talked eloquently, sometimes with witty remarks, which made Emperor Tianshun and Gu Zizhan very happy.
Gu Zizhan sent him to the gate of the hall, and Gu Jiang asked her to stay.Gu Zizhan asked him with a slight smile, "If there is something wrong with Cheng Hai, it's okay to say it." Cheng Hai was Gu Jiang's nickname when he was crowned this year.
Gu Jiang showed that he was flattered, and then he bowed and said: "My little brother once lived in the capital when he was young, but it has been a long time, thinking that this time he should live in the capital for a long time, I would like to ask His Highness, in this capital, Are there any good places worth a try?"
Gu Zizhan's eyes darkened for a moment when he lowered his head, and then when he raised his head, he returned to his calm and gentle appearance.She smiled and patted Gu Jiang's shoulder, jokingly said, "You know how to have fun! It's nice to have a family museum in the capital, but it's free, you can go and have a look."
Gu Jiang also laughed, "I've heard of the name of Bozhongtang when I was at home, and His Highness also recommended it. It seems that I must go there once."
Gu Zizhan smiled with him and asked someone to take him down without saying anything more.
Turning around and walking back to Emperor Tianshun, Emperor Tianshun looked sideways at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it?"
Gu Zizhan said without thinking, "Is Gu Jiang serious? It's simple."
Emperor Tianshun said "Oh?" and looked at her, "How do you say it?"
Gu Zizhan said: "He should have seen your intentions, Father. And he will also tell me this, probably because he wants to make friends with me."
This time Emperor Tianshun summoned these clan sons and nephews, not as some people thought, to select a few other favorites for training.On the contrary, it was because those princes were overly enthusiastic about establishing a crown prince that made Emperor Tianshun wary.Calling these nephews into the palace, the next step is to keep these people in the capital as hostages to contain the princes.Of course, if there are any available people among them, they will also stay as the support of the new emperor in the future.
Gu Jiang told Gu Zizhan that he would live in the capital for a long time this time, implying that he already knew that Emperor Tianshun would not let them leave so easily.
Emperor Tianshun thought for a while and said, "No? Hurry up, you should cool him down first. But if he comes to look for you, you can see him three or two times out of ten."
Gu Zizhan nodded in response, "Father, don't worry, the child will save it."
Just after Xu time, Emperor Tianshun brought the queen with him, and Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan also attended the family banquet.
There is no good feast.
At the banquet, Gu Yi, the third son of the King of Yan, got drunk and flirted with the dancers of the Ritual and Music Department in public, speaking dirty words and acting out of style.After being captured by the Dragon Knights, he even dared to utter nonsense and slander the Crown Prince.Once the news came out, the court was in an uproar.
It is said that when Gu Yi was drunk, he shouted that the crown prince is really a wonderful person, and it is a pity that he was born as a man.
Emperor Tianshun almost killed him on the spot.
