Rebel

…The wild geese are flying from north to south. These days, the extreme north is getting colder and colder.

However, the news of Gu Ao's ascension to the throne came to Yan Rong, which seemed to bring a little warmth to the windy and bleak place.

Dian didn't know how to feast the three armies happily. Although Huai Xin occasionally had a drink on weekdays, he didn't drink a drop this day. He stayed alone in the barracks, quietly observing all the soldiers, Han soldiers, The trend of the generals of the mixed-race army attending the banquet.

Dian Bushi claimed at the banquet that if the King of Han proclaimed himself emperor and ascended the throne, the land of Yan would be safe forever.Because only the people of the former dynasty have the distinction between Rong and Han, and as long as the king of Han submits, there is no difference between Rong and Han.He also said that in the future, people in Yandi will still be rewarded for their merits, and they can also become officials through the imperial examination. The prosperity of Yandi will be just around the corner from then on.

All the generals were overjoyed and shouted that King Yan is a thousand years old.

If you don't know the code, you will be very interested, and you will feel drunk after drunk.

Huai Xin sat alone in a corner, but her thoughts flew away.He thought a lot, past, present, future... In the past, Gu Ao trusted him, he was his confidant, he knew everything Gu Ao planned.Now, he didn't know anything about the storage of grain in Yuyang this time, but Yu Junfan must have known about it as the general who conquered the South.In the future, any imperial court with long-term stability and no foreign troubles will not be able to support so many meritorious ministers, and those who should come will always come.

Gu Ao alienated him.It is obvious that she intentionally puts the difference between the monarch and his subjects between the two, but Huai Xin still feels sad at this moment.But he had to do this, a companion is like a tiger, and he is not Yu Junfan, how could he expect Gu Ao's long-term and pure trust and sympathy?The alienation between the monarch and his ministers makes him sad today, but when Gu Ao is the only one in his heart, this kind of looking up will protect him.

Huai Xin looked at Dian Bushi who was drinking there, Dian Bushi was drunk, when talking about Gu Ao, he would say "what about my elder brother", "what about our brothers back then".Huai Xin tried to persuade her many times, but Dian didn't know Qi Sheng, so she didn't believe in this evil.Huai Xin also ignored him, instead, Huai Xin put more attention on Dian Biao and cultivated Dian Biao.

Huai Xin actually knew in her heart that if he wanted to become Gu Ao's confidant again, the solution was very simple.Gu Ao still trusts him up to now, otherwise he would not have remained in the Northland, it's just that the distance is different... If he still wants to step into the center of power, he needs to leave the Northland and return to Gu Ao's side again.

Huai Xin silently glanced at Dian Bushi again, he thought it was time for him to distance himself from him.

Looking up, Huai Xin leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.

As long as Dian Biao is with him, his influence on the Northern Army will not dissipate.

The wine in the tent was full and noisy, but Huai Xin was extremely calm at this time.

At this moment, he had almost made up his mind to leave.

It's just... how do you deal with yourself when you go to Shangjing?

The reason for going to Beijing has already been thought out. I am sick, so I resign and I want to go back to Beijing to recuperate.

With a light sigh, Huai Xin raised her forehead.He wants to enter the center of power, make those who have refused to save his parents pay their due price, and take the opportunity to make careful arrangements for the Huai family for the next 50 or 100 years.

At the same time, he needs Gu Ao's trust in him, and he also needs to use the distinction between monarch and minister to protect himself.

How exactly?

What should be done so that when Gu Ao becomes suspicious in the future, it will not affect him?

A long time ago, Huai Xin had a general idea.In the past few days, he has been scrutinizing the details and thinking about whether it is feasible.

Dian Bushi's cheerful and unscrupulous appearance made him worried, and he had to advance his plan to leave.

In fact, now may be a good opportunity.

Because, recently, there is one thing that can be used to make a fuss.

But it's a good time, Huai Xin thought carefully.

Dian Biao didn't know what was going on, he had to be with him in the future, and he couldn't let his brother get in the way of him.

Huai Xin found herself thinking about these questions with a trace of coldness.

Then he rubbed his face, got up, and began to prepare his luggage for departure.

Before Yujun Fan Nanzheng returns to Beijing, he needs to see Gu Ao alone.

----

"—Prefect Huai has an audience!" Qin Chuan, the head of the guard, reported.

All the servants and maids who had served the Imperial City of Shangjing were dismissed, and Chen Jiang had ordered Yuyang and Hanzhong to move the old servants from the Palace of the King of Han to Shangjing.It's just that the journey is far away, and it has not yet been fully equipped. The imperial city is still as it was when the army was in the army, and the guards are still on duty.

Gu Ao raised his eyes from the case, and saw Huai Xin seemed to be in a state of distress, being helped into the hall by someone, and knelt and worshiped in the distance, with a hoarse voice: "...I see the emperor."

Having not seen Huai Xin for a long time, Gu Ao put down his pen, looked at him carefully, and said in a gentle voice, "Hui Qing, get up quickly, what are you kneeling so far away for? Somebody, give Huai Qing an extra chair."

"Yes."

Huai Xin was guided to sit down in front of Gu Ao, his face was exhausted and dusty, the fair and bloodless face of his youth had already been weathered in Rongdi, only one pair of eyes, maybe because of illness, The misty pupils of youth were born again.Today, Huai Xin didn't wear the prefect's official uniform, but just a black dress, just like in the academy, a bit bleak and lonely.

Gu Ao said: "Since you're back, walk slowly and don't rush for the next few days. When you arrive in Shangjing, I have arranged a house for you to cultivate. Since you are sick, you should settle down before entering the palace."

Huai Xin smiled lightly, lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I have nothing to do with you, and I'm not in a hurry to go. It's a pity that I didn't have time to congratulate the Emperor in person on the day when the Emperor boarded the plane. It's a pity."

Gu Ao smiled and said, "It's not too late now. Don't worry about it."

"The minister is here, congratulations to the emperor."

Gu Ao laughed, and said: "Congratulations, it's better to take good care of your illness, and then you can help me."

Huai Xin smiled wryly: "This subject, I myself know best, the position of the prefect of Shangjun, and the military position of the King of Yan, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it anymore." Huai Xin glanced at Gu Ao's Long case, He said lightly: "The emperor is still busy, so I am afraid that I will disturb the emperor if I come here rashly?"

"...what's the point?" Gu Ao sighed, looked at Huai Xin, patted the silk in front of him, "...it's just a letter to Liao Quji."

Huai Xin smiled: "The emperor still misses him."

"Hey, he listens to me, and he doesn't listen to me. But I always have to write letters."

Huai Xin covered her sleeves, coughed twice, her chest heaved violently, Gu Ao said with concern: "...I have assigned you a good doctor for your house, you go back and ask him to take a good look at you, I will take care of you at home most of the time... I went to Rongdi to see that you were fine, why did you get sick..."

Huai Xin lowered her head and calmed her breath: "... Your Majesty... don't you know why I'm sick?"

Gu Ao was startled, and said: "I don't know, how did you get sick?"

Huai Xin was silent for a moment, then finally raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, she said lightly, "Before King Taiwei, he asked someone to come to marry me, is it General Liao's sister, is it the Emperor's intention?"

"You...don't like it?"

Huai Xin laughed at herself twice: "...the emperor is busy now, and I have forgotten many things." Huai Xin stood up and said, "I don't have anything important to report. Everything is fine in Yan, the emperor can rest assured. Entering the palace, I just want to talk to the emperor, I will not bother the emperor today, as the emperor said, I will go home to recuperate. Resign."

"Huaiqing!" Gu Ao called Huai Xin, "...It's good for you to go home and rest. Oh, I'm being reckless. I... always think that it's been a while since Dian's death, and you are alone... In the future, I will ask you what you mean... you can go back and rest."

Huai Xin stopped in her tracks, looked back at Gu Ao, her eyes were wet, she immediately lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "... Your Majesty, I don't know that it is always good for Bei Chen to marry a woman from Jiangnan. Yes, otherwise, how can it be called the unification of the north and the south?... The minister... the minister only needs to say a word from the emperor. If the emperor says that he is willing to marry the minister, the minister will get married. There is nothing wrong with General Liao's sister."

Gu Ao also got up, bypassed the dragon case, came to Huai Xin's side, patted Huai Xin's shoulder lightly, and sighed: "... I can't be your master, it's up to you to figure it out. It’s just from my heart that I always hope that you all have a family and a room and can be harmonious.”

Huai Xin didn't say a word.

Gu Ao said, "Go back and think about it."

Huai Xin nodded, "I will leave."

That night, Gu Ao was rewarded, Huai Xin suffered from headaches in the house that night, several imperial doctors who were on duty in the palace passed away, later Huai Xin was given a lot of medicine, and finally passed out.

On the second day, Gu Ao finished his official duties, and took Qin Chuan to inspect the tiger and leopard cavalry battalion guarding the capital. When returning to the city, he stopped by An Dun Huaixin's house to visit.Qin Chuan followed from afar, and Gu Ao stepped into this strange mansion that originally belonged to a former duke.

Coming to the backyard, Gu Ao heard a low sobbing sound, stopped in his tracks, Gu Ao carefully distinguished - it turned out to be Huai Xin.

For a moment, Gu Ao didn't know whether to go in or leave.

While Gu Ao was walking around, Huai Xin asked inside: "Who is it?"

Gu Ao had no choice but to step into the door, Huai Xin opened his eyes wide, stopped crying immediately, stammered with sobs, "...So it's the emperor." After saying that, he wanted to salute.

Gu Ao hurriedly stepped forward and supported Huai Xin: "You are not in good health, why are you still crying?"

Huai Xin hurriedly lowered her head: "...also...it's nothing."

"Go and sit." Gu Ao helped Huai Xin to sit down on the couch, Huai Xin looked away, "Why is the emperor here?"

Gu Ao said, "Come and see you."

Huai Xin asked, "What can I see?"

Gu Ao sighed, and said: "...now everything is waiting to be done, and I'm still waiting for you to recover from your illness and share my worries."

Huai Xin was silent, the tears on her face slid down her chin, after a while.Huai Xin lowered her eyes and said in a decisive voice: "... I understand, I will marry Miss Liao."

Gu Ao said softly: "Whether you get married or not depends on you. Just take care of yourself."

Huai Xin's eyes were red, and she shed tears again: "...Then what does the emperor mean? Is the minister married or not?"

"..." Gu Ao thought, maybe Huai Xin was sick and had a bad temper.

Huai Xin wiped away her tears: "...the minister is disrespectful. Your majesty forgives me."

Gu Ao patted the back of Huai Xin's hand: "Your health is not good recently, which has a lot to do with your mood swings. You are also tired from the military position in Yandi. If you feel better in the past few days, go for a walk outside the city. Um?"

Huai Xin nodded.

Gu Ao said: "I will stay soon, don't cry. What did you tell me before?"

Huai Xin nodded again.

"Then I'm leaving, you should have a good rest and take your medicine."

Huai Xin supported her sick body and sent Gu Ao outside the door.

Gu Ao roared away with the guards, Huai Xin stared at Gu Ao's back steadily until he disappeared into the night.Huai Xin knew that he had planted a seed in Gu Ao's heart, and when he and the Liao family got married, things would slowly open up, and what he planted in Gu Ao's heart might slowly grow into a big tree.This big tree may be able to conceal the real purpose of his actions for him in a certain day in the future.

Huai Xin knew Gu Ao's strong protective and undeniable personality since he was in the academy.Even in Gu Ao's bones, there are still many conceits hidden.Such a Gu Ao must feel guilty about what will happen to him after he gets married.Huai Xin guessed like this.

At this time, Gu Ao also thought on the way back to the city: "Huaixin's mood is very different from before when he came to Beijing this time. Could it be that I pushed him too hard? He looks like he lost his parents suddenly many years ago. Sometimes it's a bit like."

----

Gu Ao knew that when Huai Xin agreed to the Liao family's marriage, it was the day when Yu Junfan was going to return to the imperial court.Shaking off the doubts in his heart, Gu Ao put down everything at hand and came to the tower to welcome Yu Junfan.

In this battle, Taiwei Wang returned with a great victory, and the world has been unified since then.

After the battle of the Han army, 15 troops were left to guard the south and continue to suppress bandits, and 30 cavalry guarded the surrendered counties.On the return journey, the infantry passed through the border along the way, and most of them were resettled and returned to their hometowns through the method of equalizing the land.At this time, there were still [-] elites who were sent to the capital from afar.

The setting sun follows the returning victorious army, as if it wants to burn its own body to illuminate the glory of the triumphant.

Gu Ao stood on the tower and saw Yu Junfan.

Yu Junfan also raised his face to look at Gu Ao.

The two smiled at each other.

The welcome ceremony was grand and mighty, and the whole upper capital was immersed in the enthusiastic carnival of the unification of the world.After entering the city, the people lined the road to welcome the Han army, but Yu Junfan rode ahead and galloped to Gu Ao who was already waiting at the end of the road.Gu Ao sat on the Luanjia, and stretched out his hand to Yu Junfan: "I don't know, King Taiwei, would you like to ride back to the palace with me?"

Yu Junfan laughed, Gu Ao wore a formal dress today, just like when he ascended the throne that day.The high golden crown, the dazzling yellow robe, and the coiled dragon pattern, in Yu Junfan's eyes, made Gu Ao more handsome... Seeing the way Gu Ao looked at him with tenderness and longing, Yu Junfan felt a twinge in his heart. Re, put his hand in Gu Ao's hand: "I obey the order."

Gu Ao helped Yu Junfan get on the Luanjia, and it drove slowly towards the palace.

Stepping through one door after another, one curtain after another falls.Gu Ao hugged Yu Junfan behind the last door, and Yu Junfan groaned softly: "...haven't taken a shower yet, my body is very dirty."

Gu Ao whispered in his ear: "Shall we wash together?"

Yu Junfan nodded with a smile.

Gu Ao stretched out his hand and gently removed Yu Junfan's cloak and battle robe, one after another.

"Miss me?" Gu Ao asked.

Yu Junfan nodded seriously: "I think about it every day."

"...Think about it every day?" Gu Ao asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Until Yu Junfan only had obscene clothes left, Gu Ao stopped his hands, and Yu Junfan looked at Gu Ao with watery eyes.Gu Ao took a deep breath, picked up Yu Junfan, and walked into the bathroom that had been prepared...Yu Junfan's cheeks were smudged red, he leaned into the pool naked, and was greeted by Gu Ao has a predatory kiss.

The rising water wetted Gu Ao's dragon robe, and while panting after intertwining lips and tongue, Gu Ao pressed Yu Junfan's forehead and asked in a hoarse voice, "...how do you miss me every day?"

Yu Junfan whispered softly: "...you come in, I'll tell you."

……

……

……

There are still too many things to do to rebuild the mountains and rivers... But Gu Ao forgot all of them at this moment. Tonight, he left the time for himself and the one he loves.

【End of text】

The author has something to say: the text is finally over.thank you all.

In fact, I struggled for a long time whether to use this place as the end of the [text], or to end it as the [text] after the founding of the People's Republic of China.However, I finally decided to end the text here for the following reasons:

This article is mainly a story of rebellion. The title of the article is "The Man Who Rebelled", and the main spirit is in the word "anti".At this point, the story of the "rebellion" of the rebels is over. Even if there are more stories behind, it is not a story of rebellion.The big boss of this article has now been written to death by me.The main storyline is over, and the big boss is dead, so I take this as the end of the main text.

As for whether to write "After the founding of the People's Republic of China" as a side story, I have also considered for a long time, and I have been unable to make up my mind.Sometimes I really want to write, and I feel that there are so many foreshadowings, it would be a waste not to write, and I feel that the article is incomplete if I don’t write; How about a nice thought?Just like the ending of a fairy tale, the prince and princess live happily ever after.The novel is written to entertain everyone. The front part is so strenuous, and the back part is so sad. I always feel broken and not in line with the original intention of this article. I have been wandering between "writing" and "not writing" these days.I don't know what the little angels think about this point.

There will definitely be a lot of side stories about Yu Junfan's short story, but [After the founding of the People's Republic of China] is it really going to be written? I hope to hear everyone's opinions.Three days after the publication of this chapter, I will collect everyone’s comments, and after comprehensive consideration, I will decide whether to write it or not.Thanks. (That is to say, there is no update in these three days, so I ran away with my head in my arms)

PS: Because I am asking for everyone's opinions when the author has something to say, so in order to avoid suspicion of scoring points, please rate 0 points when you speak on this issue.

Outer Scroll: Andrew the Warrior, Guarding the Quartet

Volume [-]

"emperor!"

It was pouring rain outside the palace, and Shi Chi, the official censor, was holding an umbrella by a waiter, and walked quickly into the imperial study room, his feet were still covered with muddy water, and his whole body was soaked, as if he had rushed from a far away place.

The candles in the hall were extinguished, covering the whole body of Gu Ao, the most honored person, in a faint yellow color.Shi Chi still remembered the first time he saw Gu Ao more than ten years ago. It was also a night like this. At that time, Gu Ao, who was the King of Han, was full of vigor and resoluteness. food for the rich.

Over the years, the flamboyant and sharpness of Gu Ao's body seems to have been put away, and the introversion has become deep and unpredictable.

Shi Chi glanced left and right, and Gu Ao's voice came from above: "...all go to the outer hall and wait."

"Yes." The waiters and maids filed out, and Gu Ao was still lowering his head to deal with the matter at hand. After a while, he raised his head from the case, put down his pen, took a sip of the warm tea beside his hand, Xiang Shi Chi said: "...how is it?"

Shi Chi knelt down in front of Gu Ao's case with a plop, wiped the rain off his face, carefully took out a stack of texts from his bosom and presented it, bowed his head and said: "What the emperor told the ministers to investigate, all It has been found out. Although there are some exaggerations in Yushi Zhongcheng Lin Kuang's secret performance, the words are not bad. Since the tenth year of the apocalypse, the prime minister has condoned his subordinates to sell officials and nobles... As for the spread of the famine , The imperial court's ineffective relief is also due to the prime minister's intention to support the clan's son Chen Mei, so he reported good news but not bad news, which not only suppressed the disaster situation in Jibei, but also paid a lot of precious food and silk to the court to make the emperor happy."

Gu Ao began to flip through the papers submitted, Shi Chi continued: "The prime minister formed a clique for personal gain, concealed Sheng Cong, suspected of deceiving the emperor, but..."

"Just what?" Gu Ao asked.

"It's just that...the Shang Mizuo reported on Lin Kuang, the censor of the Prime Minister. The minister found out that he had a close relationship with the Jiangqu Prince's mansion. He had a poet friend who was a disciple of the Jiangqu King. Otherwise, Lin Kuang would be a scholar. Besides, how do you know about the situation in Jibei, and how do you know about the prime minister's secrets?"

Gu Ao nodded, and said: "Tell me exactly what you have found out these days."

"Yes."

Two hours later, the rain gradually subsided and the sky gradually darkened. Shi Chi, the doctor of the imperial censor, left the imperial study room in the evening, and almost passed the Taiwei Wang Yu Junfan. King Wei."

Yu Junfan smiled, "So it's Doctor Yushi, he's back from an errand?"

Shi Chi said: "Yes."

"It's been a hard run, you should go back and rest well."

Shi Chi saluted: "The Taiwei King is sympathetic."

Yu Junfan nodded and entered the hall.Shi Chi glanced at Yu Junfan's back, and thought, Taiwei Wang used to wear white clothes and white armor in the army, and dressed plainly, there were only a few of them throughout the year, but now he is more particular about them these years.A white fox fur shawl, cloud treading snow boots, elegant dark patterns on the belt, and the hosta covering the hair is also fine.It's not that it's luxurious, but it has a kind of intentional and elegant feeling, it really is...

Shi Chi thought for a while, then left.

Yu Junfan entered the hall and came to Gu Ao's side, and called for people to make health-preserving tea. He brought it to Gu Ao alone, looked sideways at the things on Gu Aolong's case, and said softly: "...What's the matter? I come?"

Gu Ao handed the text and silk presented by Shi Chi to Yu Junfan, and sighed: "...Chen Jiang is simply outrageous. I never thought that he would be so bold. You are in charge of the secret guards who monitor all officials. These things , why didn't you find out beforehand?"

Yu Junfan was stunned, he put down the teacup handed in front of Gu Ao, and lowered his head: "...the minister is in charge of the dark guards, monitoring the King Jiangqu and the princes who surrendered, as well as the sons of the noble families who surrendered from the court. , did not monitor the old ministers who followed the King of Han from Hanzhong..."

"Ji Chen, you also know that he is an old minister, but he himself doesn't understand." Gu Ao reached out and knocked on the table, "What do you think I should do?"

Yu Junfan finished reading the text, and said: "...the emperor urgently summoned the ministers to discuss, how can the ministers have any thoughtful thoughts in a short while? It's just...if Chen Jiang is dealt with, the court will change. So much In [-], among the civil servants that the emperor relied heavily on, Chen Jiang was the only one who came from a poor family. The other one was Shi Chi, but Shi Chi's foundation was shallow, and the emperor had just transferred him from Shanyun Academy to the court, alas... In recent years, most of the people who ranked first in the imperial examinations were the heirs of the former family. If Chen Jiang is eliminated, there will be no poor family among civil servants."

"Chen Jiang failed to live up to my expectations of him." Gu Ao said, "Jun Fan's intention is to let me spare him this time? Make him commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds, as a warning to others?"

Yu Junfan said: "Everything depends on the emperor's decision."

Gu Ao pointed to the seat: "Sit down and talk."

Yu Junfan sat down opposite Gu Ao.Gu Ao said: "Chen Jiang is like this, it is impossible for me not to punish him, otherwise the reward and punishment will be unclear, which will chill the hearts of all the officials and the people who have been affected by the disaster. I am the emperor of the people, not the emperor of the humble family."

Yu Junfan nodded, and Gu Ao said: "But Jun Fan's consideration is also right. The position of prime minister is related to all officials and the world, so it should not be taken lightly. I am going to remove Chen Jiang from his position and make him think about his mistakes behind closed doors. Let you What do you think about taking over as Prime Minister?"

Yu Junfan was stunned: "For so many years, I have been in charge of the imperial guards, tiger and leopard cavalry, and hidden guards. I am not familiar with the position of prime minister, but if the emperor insists on doing so, I am willing to take the position of prime minister. It's just... The position should not be taken lightly, the position of Taiwei is even more important to a country, who is the emperor going to let take over as Taiwei?"

Gu Ao said: "I am going to call Dian Bushi back from Yan, let him be the Taiwei King, and then make Yan Wang's son the North Marquis, and then set up a county in Yan, and send Beijing officials directly under the jurisdiction. These days, tigers and leopards The cavalry needs to be mobilized. After King Yan enters the capital, he will order the tiger and leopard cavalry to seal the gates of Yuyang and Shangjun, and frighten Rong from a distance... As for the hidden guards and the imperial army, I will put them under the jurisdiction of the prime minister."

Yu Junfan said: "It turns out that the emperor has made up his mind. It's just that... Can King Yan agree?"

"Then what else is he going to do? The Taiwei King who commands the world's soldiers and horses, isn't that enough?"

Yu Junfan smiled: "That's fine." After speaking, Yu Junfan stood up, came to Gu Ao's side, and pushed his shoulder: "Have you eaten yet? I'm already hungry."

Gu Ao said: "Then this is called."

Yu Junfan sat by the couch and accompanied Gu Ao.After a while the food was served, and Yu Junfan ate with Gu Ao. It was getting late and Gu Ao was still busy, Yu Junfan said: "Then I'm going back home first?"

Gu Ao raised his head from the case, stood up and walked to Yu Junfan, put on a cloak for him, and said, "I'll let someone take you back."

Yu Junfan nodded and left.The road was covered with stars, and Yu Junfan was sitting in the Luanjia back home, leaning on the mattress and thinking about the past years... Colorful drops of water slid down from the treetops, bringing a subtle glimpse of light in the dark night .

I still remember that when the world was first pacified more than ten years ago, he and Gu Ao were very busy with the restructuring of the world.After the two of them finished their work, they would often sleep together in the imperial study room. Even if he didn't sleep in the imperial study room, he would often stay in the side hall of the bedroom at that time... yes... that period of time was the sweetest and most peaceful.They get along day and night, and they are ambitious, full of hesitant ambitions, refreshed every day, and smiling every moment... and the world is still photographed by the remaining prestige of the Han army cavalry, obedient and obedient, so they can do many things. Also act decisively.

But later, the civil servants and counselors who surrendered to the new dynasty gradually gained a firm foothold in the court. As the reform of the imperial examinations and the common people were carried out smoothly, subtle changes occurred in the court along with the reorganization. The change.

The restructuring has allowed those who once belonged to the old dynasty to have a new identity.They were deprived of the privileges of the aristocratic family, and many of them voluntarily donated fertile land, got rid of the difference from friends and enemies of the new dynasty, and obtained the status of courtiers of the new dynasty.

After Gu Ao treated him with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, the real game gradually began...

The strength and loyalty that belonged to Gu Ao mainly lay in the army, and the generals who came from Wu Jin naturally worshiped Gu Ao, supported the emperor, and were absolutely loyal.

But 'Wu' can pacify the world, but cannot govern it.

Rule the world, rely on the court; not the army.

Ruling the world depends on civil servants and officials, not school lieutenants and generals.

Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, King Ruyin rebelled.

Although it was quickly pacified, there seemed to be an undercurrent hidden in the court.

The strange thing is that there is no sign that King Ruyin has anything to do with the officials in the court, as if King Ruyin turned against him for no reason.

Since then, Yu Junfan has sent more people to watch the Jiangqu Palace in Shangjing.

But there is no conclusive evidence.

After all, King Jiangqu is the archway of the imperial court and should not be moved lightly.

At that time, I was so busy that I didn't touch the ground. In the end, it was like punching into cotton, and the stone sank into a black pool without a slight ripple.

Because of being tired and suffering from the wind and cold, Yu Junfan fell seriously ill due to poor self-cultivation.The body that was damaged by lying on the ice when he was a child, gradually became insufficient as he got older, and finally broke out at this moment... When he was bedridden, Gu Ao had been dealing with the officials all by himself.At that time, Gu Ao often said to Chen Jiang, Gu Qian and the others: "Don't think that everything will be fine when the world is leveled, just lie on the credit book and be careful not to fall off later."

But after all, how can human nature stop some things?For example, among the old ministers who followed Gu Ao, which one is not now luxuriously dressed and crowned, with a wide house and high space, and a beautiful concubine in good land?They are used to being poor and are afraid of being poor, as if they want to make up for what they have lost in the past.In contrast, the sons of the aristocratic families in the Han army have a broad vision and still follow the steps.Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, more people from aristocratic families were promoted to rank and rank, while those from poor families were less.In addition, they could not pass the imperial examinations of the aristocratic family, and they wanted to fight bravely, but there was no war in the world...

It's not like Yu Junfan didn't notice what Chen Jiang did, but what can he do?The world is equal, Chen Jiang cannot be without Chen Jiang, and these officials who were trained by Chen Jiang from poor families in the past are impossible.Otherwise, after a hundred years of Gu Ao, whose world will it be?What Yu Junfan is most worried about now is that the aristocratic family system will take the opportunity to restore.

These years, Gu Ao is not young anymore, just now Yu Junfan saw a few strands of white hair on Gu Ao's forehead.Yu Junfan kept looking at Gu Ao, how could he not know that Gu Ao became the emperor, not like when he was the king of Han, pointing out the country passionately and enjoying Fangqiu.The war that Gu Ao was good at has gone away, but what is in front of them now is another war.

Yu Junfan quietly observes Gu Ao, and can always see Gu Ao sometimes depressed, sometimes helpless, and sometimes Gu Ao has to compromise.Yu Junfan knew that Gu Ao didn't like to compromise.

I remember that when I was recuperating in the mansion due to a serious illness, one day Gu Ao came alone, hugged him as soon as he entered the room, buried his head in his arms, and said: "Jun Fan, I will sleep with you today, okay? "

At that time, I said: "No, you ran out alone. How can the guards here compare to those in the palace? I'm also afraid that I will get angry with you. You'd better go back."

Gu Ao shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid. But I miss you."

He patted Gu Ao's back and said: "Now the situation is complicated, the emperor should return to the palace."

At that time, his mind was full of the affairs of ordinary people and the court, but he didn't see Gu Ao's dim eyes and downcast eyes.

Gu Ao muttered unconvinced: "What can they do to me, I am the emperor, I will sleep here today."

That night Gu Ao ignored his rejection and hugged him.He was a little angry, he was sick, he didn't want Gu Ao to be infected by him, and he wanted to get well soon and help Gu Ao.But Gu Ao didn't care about his thoughts at all that night. Although he resisted at first, but later on he became hesitant...After the matter was over, Gu Ao still wanted to stay overnight, but he got annoyed and drove Gu Ao away .

Then Gu Ao didn't propose to him for a month. After he recovered from his illness, he sat with Gu Ao in the imperial study until midnight, rubbing Gu Ao's shoulders, kissing Gu Ao's ear, but Gu Ao lowered his head Said: "It's so late, are you tired? You are recovering from your illness, go back and rest."

Then he was sent back.

A bad mood seemed to delay his recovery.

That night, his illness started to recur after recovering from illness. The next day Gu Ao came to visit him and confessed his mistake: "It was my fault that day, you shouldn't be sick..."

He held Gu Ao's hand and put it on his hot lips, but Gu Ao pulled his hand away abruptly. At this time, there was something to report to Gu Ao outside, and Gu Ao left.

He didn't fall asleep that night, and stared at the curtain all night, not knowing what was wrong with him.

He was ill intermittently for more than half a year, sometimes going to court, sometimes recuperating at home.Gu Ao often came to see him, but even if they were alone, the two of them were not tender and affectionate, you were strong and I was loyal, and Gu Ao sometimes asked him about court affairs.When discussing important matters, there is always a difference between the monarch and his ministers; he hasn't called Gu Ao "Ao's younger brother" for a long time.

Yu Junfan, who was ill, felt powerless for the first time.

He also began to think, maybe he had really passed the time when he was most energetic, and maybe his body would not get better?He feels that way.He spent too much when he was young, first with those things when he was a child, and later when he conquered the South, he often fought continuously for several days without sleep, which completely destroyed the foundation of his body.

If the body is really going to weaken day after day, then it's time for me to make some plans.

Maybe, it's time for someone else to accompany Gu Ao.

Gu Ao can't be left without someone to take care of and accompany him, because his days are still very long, and he needs to use his fullest energy to guard the new world that the two of them built together.

When thinking of this, Yu Junfan's eyes were involuntarily sore.

A lot of things from the past came to mind... But after thinking about it in his mind, he felt that it was hard to let go.

Reluctant.

Reluctant.

When Gu Ao became the emperor, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him secretly no matter what he did.

One day when he was recuperating at home, Yu Junfan heard that someone in the court invited Gu Ao to accept the harem. At first, he said it mildly, but then the two factions quarreled for some reason, and finally someone said: "The emperor does not accept the harem, that is Disregarding common people, disregarding society."

Gu Ao was silent at first, but suddenly Long Yan was furious, and said: "If I don't accept the harem, I don't care about the common people? I don't care about the country? I have established a prince, two concubines and four concubines, and have grandchildren. But you, how much have you done to harm the country? Do you think I don’t know about things that endanger the common people? Last month, your grandma and brother robbed civilian women and occupied private houses. I think it’s not easy for you to be an official. I want to forgive you once, but you say that I don’t care about the common people? Let me tell you, China The palace is called Qiansui, and the Taiwei King is also called Qiansui, don't mention this matter in the future, and it's not something you can mention!"

Yu Junfan thought, Gu Ao was using this incident to express their dissatisfaction with him in other places.

After the court, Gu Ao came to the house to see him, his tone was cold: "Do you know what happened today?"

He nodded and sat on the edge of the bed with a calm expression on his face.

Gu Ao frowned: "You don't want to stop me, the supervisory officials, you should have told me earlier! I have a plan too! Why are you hiding it from me?"

Yu Junfan did know that someone would talk, and he did not know about Gu Ao.Because he asked himself countless times, should he take care of this matter, or not? — He has no answer.

No matter, he was very sad; but if he didn't care, he felt that he couldn't help Gu Ao, after all, Gu Ao sat in this position, if Gu Ao could accept those high-ranking daughters
