reborn monarch

The son went out of the palace to build a mansion, and Emperor Qiyuan specially set aside the inner treasury for Gu Lan to entertain the guests, so the mansion of the son of the son was brightly lit at night, and the shengxiao continued.Emperor Qiyuan had no children, and both the imperial party and the Wen party were willing to make friends with the only descendant of the royal family, so during the banquet where the wine was mixed, Xie Jiuyuan and Wen Jinli faced each other from a distance, Xie Jiuyuan slightly bowed his head, and respected Wen Jinli with a cup of tea with the attitude of a younger generation liquor.

But what makes Wen Jinli most happy is not Xie Jiuyuan's glass of wine, but the attitude of the eldest son Gu Lan who is obviously closer to him.

Thinking about it, it is true, they have left the palace to build a mansion, not to mention the title of king, they don't even have the title of marquis. Thinking about it again, although Emperor Qi Yuan seems to value this nephew, who is Gu Lan's father?That was the Ninth Prince, and Emperor Qi Yuan's mother was buried by the Ninth Prince according to the last emperor's will, and he didn't even let Emperor Qi Yuan see her for the last time.

Thinking of this, Wen Jinli became more and more loving towards Gu Lan, and wrinkled his old face with a smile.

There was a lot of noise in the middle of the night, the guests dispersed, Gu Lan stared coldly at the leftovers in the hall and didn't know what to think, the maid came in and reported softly.

Gu Lan raised her eyebrows, and ordered the servants to clean up the mess, picked up a half-full pot of wine from the banquet, the maid obediently took two cups and presented them, Gu Lan took them, no one followed, and left the banquet hall .

He walked slowly into the backyard, and saw Xie Shiyi standing in the corner, stared at by the guards of the mansion, with a look of embarrassment.

"Let's all go back."

Gu Lan couldn't help laughing, and ordered to withdraw the guards in the backyard. The guards followed the order and left. After a while, there were only the two of them left.

Xie Shishi smiled sarcastically.

"Unexpectedly," Gu Lan deliberately teased him, "Xie Ban's hobby of climbing walls has not changed for many years."

Xie Shishi followed Gu Lan who turned around, and entered the bamboo pavilion in the backyard.As Xie Shi walked and watched, it was half novelty and half familiar, because when the palace was torn down and rebuilt, at the request of Gu Lan, he referred to the layout and structure of Xie's mansion next door.

As soon as he sat down, Xie Shishi argued, "I came in through the front door loudly, didn't I put you in danger for nothing?"

Gu Lan poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Xie Shishi, and pretended to be surprised when she heard this: "This son thought that Mr. Xie was upright, and he wanted to reprimand me for making friends with rebellious officials and thieves."

Hearing the teasing meaning in his words, Xie Shixi took the glass of wine and stared: "I am not stupid."

Gu Lan laughed loudly, toasted each other, and drank the wine in the glass to the full.

Xie Shishi also accompanied him to light the bottom of the cup, and consciously took the jug to fill the two cups.

They met each other when they were young, and although their identities were different, because of Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan, they were always closer than others.For various reasons, the two of them don't have friends of the same generation. It is inappropriate to say that they are friends now, but emotionally, for the two of them, they are the only ones who can tell the truth regardless of their dignity.

Thinking about the past and the banquet tonight, Xie Shiyi calmed down and said softly, "I came here to persuade you not to take risks."

He paused and continued to explain: "I think, according to His Majesty's behavior, he would not take the initiative to ask you to be a bait. This idea, which is close to the Wen Party, must be your own idea. The purpose is to share your majesty's worries. Yes no?"

Gu Lan didn't refute aloud, that's it.

Emperor Qi Yuan was indeed not such an emperor, Xie Shixi felt relieved, and said, "But I just climbed over the wall, and when I was discovered by the guards, I remembered the last time I climbed the wall. You were only ten years old that year , I thought you would be afraid, but you didn't, not only didn't you, you also woke me up. I should have understood your courage and determination a long time ago."

"I think, if I persuade you according to the original plan, and tell you how dangerous it will be and how much infamy it may leave, I'm afraid you won't change your mind. Because you must have considered all of these."

With his explanation, Gu Lan's unavoidable anxiety due to his eagerness to complete a major project was strangely relieved.

Speaking of this, Xie Shixi breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, and concluded: "So, I won't persuade or ask any more questions. After a while, I will rush to Qianxi to take up my post. You I have different paths and cherish each other. In the future, if we can meet again in the court, then I hope that the humble minister and the son can shoulder the heavy responsibility."

He held the glass to salute, Gu Lan lowered his head and smiled, raised his glass too, and the two drank another glass.

Xie Shishi just held the handle of the jug, but was held down by Gu Lan. Gu Lan took the jug away, filled the two small cups for the third time, raised his glasses and said, "Then this third cup will be made by my son." , I wish Mr. Xie a smooth journey."

Gu Lan wanted to get close to the Wen Party, so she definitely wouldn't see Xie Shiyi off.

After drinking the third cup, Xie Shi got up, bowed his hands, bid farewell to Gu Lan, and climbed the wall back to Xie's mansion.Fortunately, he practiced martial arts with Xie Jiuyuan since he was a child, and his posture of climbing the wall is neat and neat, not embarrassing.

Gu Lan carried the jug and walked out of the bamboo pavilion. At this time, the night was like a curtain and the sky was full of stars. He leaned on an old transplanted peach tree, held the jug high, and poured wine into the mouth, completely chic and unrestrained.Not like a royal son, but like a wandering traveler.

It's a blessing to have a friend like this!It's time to drink.

It's a pity that when we meet again in the future, it will be impossible to talk freely like this tonight.

If there is no accident, he will be the future prince, and there are differences between monarchs and ministers. Whether it is himself or Xie Shishi, he will strictly observe the distance between the monarch and his ministers.

Alas!

The shadows of the trees whirled on the ground, and the empty jug was smashed to the ground by Gu Lan, and mixed into the shadows of the trees, it was impossible to tell where the shadow was and where the broken porcelain pieces were.

"Your Highness?"

Jin Yiwei, who was guarding secretly, asked with concern.

Gu Lan stood up and walked back to the wing room on her own. Immediately behind him, someone called a maidservant, and quickly cleaned the backyard without leaving any traces.

Xie Jiuyuan sent away his younger brother who was transferred to Qianxi to be the magistrate, and then he sent away Xie Jingqing.

With the unrest in the northwest, the tea horse trade in Shuitian Town has dropped sharply, because most of the foreigners who trade with the tea horse trade in Shuitian Town have to pass through the settlements of the horse tribe. Now that the war is not over, very few people risk selling horses Therefore, in the past few years, Xie Jingqing's main business has been to pick up the "old business" under the dispatch of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He and his guys took the special products of Dachu to the west through Qiangwu to trade with neighboring countries, such as opening tea Horses make a lot of money.

Xie Jingqing already loves different scenery and the unique customs of the Western Regions. If he hadn't been reluctant to part with Qin Jian, he would have wished to run west all year round. Now he is in a state of restlessness. He would rather make less money than stay in the capital with Qin Jian.

Qin Jian didn't necessarily dislike his stickiness. This time, the king of a country in the Western Regions suddenly wanted to marry a beautiful woman, and he sent people to rush to buy the highest-grade porcelain and silk from Xie Jingqing. Gold and silver were not a problem, so A few days after Xie Jingqing returned to Beijing, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Qin Jian and hurried to the Western Regions.

At the gate of the city, Xie Jiuyuan kindly asked Xie Jingqing's subordinates to take care of Uncle Gu. Xie Jingqing was proud that his nephew cared about him so much, and listened cheerfully. Zhuo Yuan hurried over to see him off, and then hurried back to the Imperial Academy. Wen Chongde passed by and said "Take care", Xie Jiuyuan stopped talking, waved his hand, and told them to leave quickly.

After seeing off people, Xie Jiuyuan entered the palace.

In the imperial study room, a technician from the Innovation Institute was kneeling in front of the table. Gu Zhen was standing behind the table, looking at something. When he saw Xie Jiuyuan enter the door, he greeted him with obvious excitement: "Mr. Xie, come and have a look."

Xie Jiuyuan saluted, then walked to the table, and saw clearly the large piece of paper with clear ink on the table case, with four characters printed on the upper right, "Da Chu Official News".

"It's been printed?" Xie Jiuyuan was also overjoyed, and asked the technician, "How much can you print in an hour? Are there many scrapped?"

Emperor Qi Yuan had already asked these questions, and the technician respectfully answered Xie Xiang again: "About [-] sheets can be printed in an hour, and about [-] of them are invalid. There are three reasons for the invalidation. The first few sheets must have too much ink, and the paint will be black; the second is that after ink is applied once, the last few sheets must be printed unclearly or even blank; situation."

"Okay." Xie Jiuyuan praised, "Clearly organized."

Emperor Qiyuan raised his head and ordered: "Go down, there will be rewards tomorrow, let the people in the printing workshop rest for a day, and then prepare, the first report of Dachu will be printed from your hands, you must be vigilant!"

"Yes! The villain obeys the order." His Majesty said the first report of Dachu, fully explaining how important this task is, and the technician couldn't hide his excitement, and retreated.

Gu Zhen nodded to the sample newspapers on the table, and teased Xie Jiuyuan: "Although Wen Chongde is not a thing, he really has a way of doing things."

But Xie Jiuyuan said: "Snakes have their own way, rats have their way. There have been few capable people with low moral character throughout the ages, but not many have been reused. His Majesty gave him a chance to show his talents."

His words made Gu Zhen twitch the corners of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "For no reason, what kind of hat are you going to put on me?"

Xie Jiuyuan had an upright face, and said righteously: "The minister has a heart, how can there be any high hat?"

Gu Zhen leaned close to Xie Jiuyuan's face, tried his best to analyze his expression, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it a farewell to my uncle? I'm so happy. Could it be that something happy happened on the way?"

Xie Jiuyuan couldn't help laughing: "I did hear good news."

Gu Zhen asked curiously, "Oh? What is it?"

Xie Jiuyuan leaned into Gu Zhen's ear to gossip: "I heard that Minister Wen Zhang Luo is planning to go to the Minister's house of the Ministry of Punishment to propose marriage for Wen Jinli, asking to marry the third lady."

The third daughter of Jiang Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, isn't that Jiang Luofu?

Thinking of the actions of that Jiang Luofu in his previous life, Gu Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The two had a rare moment of relaxation, but it was because they gloated over other people's private affairs. Gu Zhen sighed with a smile: "Who in the world is exempt from vulgarity when reading people's jokes and prying into private affairs. Official newspapers should not be vulgar. If a private newspaper is printed in the future, it must sell a lot."

"The more the better," Xie Jiuyuan echoed, remembering to ask, "Has Your Majesty thought of a reply to the letter of credence of the Lancang Kingdom?"

Following Lancang’s Sui Gong came, it was an extremely sloppy letter of credence, to the effect that Dachu has everything, and foreign trade is so hot, we lack everything in Lancang, since we have already claimed it, I hope Dachu can Give some favors.

Gu Zhen nodded, his tone became serious, and he explained to Xie Jiuyuan: "I asked Wang Ze to draw up a palindrome. Sending back the annual tribute and the letter of credence together, how can there be such a good autumn wind."

"I asked Wang Ze to write more beautifully. The general idea is: Da Chu has no intention of oppressing, and Da Chu will never recognize the relationship between the suzerain country and the country. Because he remembers the hatred of the Japanese slaughtering the city, Da Chu will never discuss diplomatic relations with the Japanese country. Except the Japanese country In addition, for any other country, our Great Chu will treat each other as equals in the future, and will never be the suzerain, and will no longer accept vassal states."

Xie Jiuyuan's eyes lit up, and he sincerely praised: "Your Majesty handled it very well."

Gu Zhen's ears were slightly red, and Gu Zuo said to him: "Let's talk about the plan to open a military academy, I always feel that there is still something wrong."

Xie Jiuyuan smirked, cleared his throat with a light cough, "Okay, I would like to hear the details."
