Rebel

After entering the harem, will the current situation be easier to resolve?

He is no longer the Yu Junfan who brought troops and horses to pour the world. At that time, he just wanted to use his sword to cut through the wind and thunder. Today, his eyes are worriedly watching the undercurrent of the world.

He has always flashed his sword when he encounters weakness, destroying the dead;

When you are strong, you will lie dormant and wait, slowly planning.

Seeing his silence, Gu Ao paced anxiously in the room, and said in a deep voice: "...are you testing me?" Gu Ao's voice trembled: "...are you testing me with this?"

Talking about Gu Ao turning around to leave, he hastily stepped forward and grabbed Gu Ao: "...not...just...I...I can't decide either. It's not up to me to decide."

"Why? Tell me, why can't you decide?"

Yu Junfan said: "You are the emperor, now..."

After hearing his explanation, Gu Ao seemed even angrier and walked away.

When he walked to the door, Gu Ao shook his head and sighed: "Retribution, really retribution. Back then, I ignored Mrs. Mei because of world affairs, and she left me. Today, you ignore me because of world affairs. You want me to Be a good emperor, and I will not let you down."

He didn't chase him out, he thought that Gu Ao meant that he would start taking over the harem.Lying on the bed, Yu Junfan curled up sadly.Gu Ao left without looking back.

But he didn't expect that Gu Ao still didn't accept the harem, and instead started a cold war with him that lasted till now.To say it was a cold war was not to alienate him, but to stop being intimate with him.Gu Ao called himself 'zhen' to him, not 'I', and he never called Gu Ao 'brother Ao' again, but when they talked about state affairs, it was still the same as usual.

Several times, he approached Gu Ao tentatively, but was avoided by Gu Ao without any trace.Gu Ao became more silent, but Huai Xin, who was appointed by Gu Ao to be the head of Shanyun Academy and also the Imperial Academy to offer wine, brought the unfinished ceremonies to report the progress to Gu Ao. The two laughed.

Every time Huai Xin entered the palace, she would visit him.

Clothed and feathered, refined and elegant, Huai Xin seemed to have returned to her former scholarly appearance, but she was dressed in black, which always made people feel a little gloomy.There was a smile on Huai Xin's face: "The Taiwei King commands all the soldiers and horses in the world. It's impossible not to take good care of your body. The emperor cares about it. Hehe, I brought you some Yewang honey from Rongdi, which is the most nourishing. Drinking also moistens the lungs."

"Young Master Huai is worried."

Huai Xin sighed: "These years, my health has not been very good, but fortunately, the things the emperor sent are not serious, and I always like them. Taiwei Wang is different, the emperor trusts you the most, and entrusts you with important tasks. You Just get better soon."

Yu Junfan smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Huai... I heard that Dian Biao didn't want to marry, but Mrs. Madam offered him a marriage, but he didn't want to. There are also rumors outside. Since your mansion and courtyard are close, Mr. Huai will also marry you." Be more persuasive."

Huai Xin shook her head: "I won't persuade him. If he doesn't get married, it's the same reason as the emperor doesn't accept the harem. Have you ever persuaded the emperor to accept the harem?"

Yu Junfan looked at Huai Xin in surprise, Huai Xin stood up and said, "I'm leaving, you should cultivate well."

Volume [-]

Looking at Huai Xin's leaving back, Yu Junfan felt a lot of confusion in his heart.

Since Huai Xin became the head of Shanyun Academy many years ago, he and Shi Chi, his deputy appointed by Gu Ao at that time, took charge of the work of compiling history and compiling the canon.Shi Chi's admiration for the emperor was on the bright side, and his beautiful words permeated all kinds of articles and classics that passed through his hands.

Gu Ao was dissatisfied with Shi Chi's work, and said: "You said that all officials look at me like the sun, and look forward to me like sunshine and rain. Is I so magical? Then why are there so many people saying behind my back that I am Tyrant? I don’t believe what you wrote, so how can you make people believe it?”

In contrast, Huai Xin's flattery is hidden in the combing of the historical context.He analyzed the shortcomings of the previous generation in detail, and wrote many ancient policies full of countless hidden hints.Let everyone who reads history feel objective, but can naturally come to a conclusion - only Gu Ao can set the Central Plains, and only Gu Ao can stabilize the world, because the destiny is with him.And then came to the conclusion - if there is no Gu Ao, the world does not know what kind of corruption it will be.It was Gu Ao alone who saved the world and all the common people in the world.

Gu Ao was very satisfied with Huai Xin's work, and often said to Huai Xin: "Compiling a book is too much for Huai Qing. If it weren't for your poor health, I would use you in many places."

Huai Xin would always smile lightly at this time: "I also feel guilty in my heart. I am sick and unable to share the worries of the emperor. I can only do well what the emperor ordered."

Yu Junfan didn't believe that a person who tried his best to please Gu Ao would really be as ascetic and ascetic as he had shown, with no desire for power.But Gu Ao trusted Huai Xin very much, even Huai Xin's family was not on good terms, Gu Ao also said: "I made a mistake back then, I shouldn't force him to get married."

Hearing this, Yu Junfan couldn't say anything.

***

The annual King of Yan's visit to Beijing was particularly strong and ostentatious this year.

It was not because of how many treasures the King of Yan offered to the court, but because of the fact that the King of Yan came here and directly captured the prefect of Jibei, Chen Mao, with Yan soldiers, and entered the court.

One stone set off a thousand layers of waves, and all the officials were in an uproar.

Dian Bushi stood in the court hall with his head held high and his chest held high. He pushed Chen Maung to the ground, and he announced Chen Maung's crime of deceiving the emperor in a loud voice.If that's the case, it's fine, but then Dian Bushi actually announced the three major crimes of Prime Minister Chen Jiang in public - bullying the emperor, forming a party, and selling officials.Just when the ministers were guessing whether King Yan's move was ordered by the emperor, Gu Ao on the throne was full of anger and walked away.

Chen Jiang's face was ashen, and he immediately knelt down.

All the ministers retreated from the court, talking a lot, but they didn't know the Dian but stopped, saying: "The emperor will definitely ask the king to ask questions later, and the king will stay here."

Sure enough, after a while, Dian Bushi was called in.

***

Yu Junfan hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, these years, he always rides a car on weekdays.But today, he stepped on the blood-sweat horse that had been in the stables for a long time. Although it was old, its legs were not slow, and Yu Junfan hurried to the gate of the inner court.

"Where is King Yan?" Yu Junfan asked.

"King Yan has entered the palace gate."

Yu Junfan dismounted from his horse, quickly walked through the courtyard, stepped through a series of doors, and came to the outside of the imperial study.Qin Chuan led the guards and guarded several layers of armor inside and outside. Yu Junfan took a step forward: "How long has King Yan been in?"

Qin Chuan said: "It's time for a stick of incense."

Yu Junfan nodded, put the whip in his waist, and walked in alone.

Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and behind the curtain, I didn't know how to shout: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Gu Ao's voice came: "...the prime minister's matter is of great importance, why don't you discuss it with me in private first? For so many years, so many important events have happened in the court, why didn't I see you write to me before, and ignored it , why do you suddenly want to engage in such a formation today?"

Yu Junfan walked in, and saw Gu Ao sitting behind the dragon case, and Dian Bushi standing in front of the case, bearded and furious: "Chen Jiang delayed the disaster relief for his own selfishness, so you have to talk about it in private? The three in Jibei There are hungry people everywhere in the county! Brother, you didn’t see it, but I saw it on the way here, and it’s endless! How can I not say it? He has done such an outrageous thing, should I cover it for him? Daming How did the king of heaven become powerful back then? If Chen Jiang is not dealt with, there will be countless great kings of tomorrow hidden in Jibei, brother, have you forgotten why we raised our troops?"

"So, do you think you can deal with him? He is the prime minister and you are the king of Yan. Why do you think you can deal with him? Make his mistakes public? No one in the world can, why can you?"

"The affairs of the world are controlled by the people of the world. If I didn't care about such things, I wouldn't have raised troops in the first place."

"Okay...Okay!" Gu Ao laughed, unable to hear any joy or anger, "I have wronged you for being a child!" Gu Ao's tone changed: "But he is my minister, if you want Belittle him, reprimand him, I have to start this! If you have an idea, you should tell me first! The situation you created today is forcing me to follow your way!"

"Hmph, it's because Big Brother didn't deal with him that I'm doing justice for the heavens!"

Yu Junfan stepped in a few steps, interrupted and said with a smile: "...So it turns out that the King of Yan has arrived in Beijing. I have been in poor health for the past few days. I have been cultivating in the mansion, but I have not received the wind for King Yan."

The two people who were originally tense fell silent.

Dian Bushi rubbed his nose: "The Taiwei King is here."

Gu Ao leaned back in the chair with a gloomy face, Yu Junfan pulled Dian Bushi to sit down: "You talk so loudly, and you don't drink your saliva. I was in a hurry when I came, and I was thirsty."

Speaking of which, Yu Junfan took the tea from the hand of the court lady, and gave Gu Ao and Dian Bushi each a cup. Dian Bushi sighed after drinking the tea, and said to Yu Junfan, "Prince Taiwei, judge the reason, someone committed a crime. Should he be punished if he commits a heinous crime? Should he tell others about his mistakes?"

Yu Junfan smiled: "Of course he should be punished if he made a mistake, but for the sake of taking care of your siblings in the past, you should also save him some face and some leeway."

Dian Bushi changed his face and said: "It's okay if you don't mention it, Taiwei King. I will be even angrier if I mention it. Back then, I handed over my younger siblings to their family. How did their family take care of them? My sister was doing well in Hanzhong, but she had to go to Yuyu. Yang, isn’t it because their family didn’t like it? Or didn’t they care at all? In Yuyang, he let Xiao Nizi go to war to die! Hmph! When I used to be in Chencun, they would make jokes together I, look down on me, if I hadn’t gone to Rongdi, I would have thought that everyone was like this. In the Rong tribe, if you meet an orphaned child looking for a living, it’s all praise, how can there be a joke to exclude you?”

Gu Ao spoke up: "Who is this to instigate you?"

Dian Bushi stood up again, and said, "Stop me? If he does well and Jibei is not in trouble, why should he push me?"

Yu Junfan pulled Dian Bushi to sit down: "Okay...okay..."

Dian Bushi said: "I've said what I should say, King Taiwei, Your Majesty, I'm leaving." While talking, Dian Bushi walked out, walked through the corridor, but saw Chen Jiang kneeling at the door, wearing an official uniform.It turned out that Chen Jiang didn't leave the court, but knelt here directly.

Dian Buzhi looked down at Chen Jiang and said, "Second brother, when I made a mistake, each of you whipped me with a whip. Today you made a mistake, and I'm waiting for the day when I will punish you. I have the whip ready."

Chen Jiang pursed his lips without saying a word.

After Dian Bushi left, Qin Chuan came into the palace to report: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is kneeling outside."

Gu Ao said coldly: "Let him kneel."

Yu Junfan walked up to Gu Ao hesitantly, rubbed his shoulder, and called out: "Your Majesty..."

Gu Ao shook his head, "Of course Chen Jiang has Chen Jiang's faults, but he just doesn't know Dian..." Gu Ao shook his head again: "I don't know Dian...he is following the fate of God, one day I die, What about Jianger?"

Yu Junfan sat down beside Gu Ao, and said solemnly: "The matter of King Yan, I thought it was just speculation, but among his current officials, there is someone from the former Liao Yong who came to Beijing for King Yan a while ago. , and has a close relationship with Jiangqu Prince's Mansion. It may be that King Yan heard something. After all, in recent years, kings with different surnames have been abolished, dead, and imprisoned. King Jibei abandoned his title, King Ruyin rebelled, and before Guangping Hou Ye was convicted...Recently, the tiger and leopard riders have been frequently mobilized."

"Is he really in touch with Liao Quji?"

Yu Junfan nodded: "Yes."

"What did they say?"

Yu Junfan said: "It is said that the emperor indulged Chen Jiang, and all the officials complained. King Yan said that if he presides over the government one day, he will never let Sheng Cong be deceived again."

Gu Ao sneered: "It's Liao Quji again... who actually provoked our brothers to fight against each other. But he is not happy to be my puppet, and he does something that disgusts me. It was predictable. It's just that he doesn't know the code... I didn't expect it See, Liao Qinghui knows how to avoid suspicion, he doesn't know? He and I, as well as Chen Jiang and Chen's son, were sworn brothers back then. Jiang is useless, what do you want to do?"

Yu Junfan sighed, and said: "The king of Yan is in command of the Yandi Hanrong army. Ten years later, the tiger and leopard cavalry are far away from the horse farm, so they may not be opponents."

Gu Ao was silent for a moment, and said, "Let Chen Jiang in."

After a while, Qin Chuan opened the curtain, and Chen Jiang came in with his head bowed. As soon as he entered the door, he burst into tears and kept kowtowing: "I have failed the emperor's kindness, and I deserve death."

Gu Ao said: "You also know that you have failed the emperor! There was a disaster in Jibei, and you felt your conscience and told me, why did you hide it?"

Chen Jiang wept and said, "It's all my fault. I wanted Chen Mao to keep his position as prefect, so he wrote to me saying that the disaster was not serious, and I believed it. I didn't mean to deceive the emperor. I also came from a bitter background." I know that those refugees are the most pitiful. Chen Mao deceived the minister, and the minister deceived the king, begging the emperor to punish him."

Gu Ao said: "Today you know that I want to punish you, what did you do so many days ago? You expect me to never know, right? You can cover this matter up, right?"

Chen Jiangdao: "I really want to cover this matter up. I raised two thousand shi of grain and transported it to the disaster area with the fiefdoms given to me by the emperor. There is also the fact that I was in charge of Jinbei, and I have food from rich people in Jibei. I collected a thousand stones of grain and grass, and distributed them to the victims. I was lucky, and I was guilty."

"Hmph, if I hadn't known that you had transported the food from your fief to rescue the disaster, your head would have fallen to the ground long ago, and I would have kept you until today?"

"I'm guilty." Chen Jiang repeated again, "I'm guilty, and the emperor knows all about it."

"Of course you are guilty, why are you not guilty? You saved the disaster now, but do you know how many people died before? Do you know that if you are one step late, Jibei will send troops to suppress it!"

Chen Jiangdao: "I am willing to accept all punishments. If the emperor wants to kill me to thank the world, I dare not complain."

"Bullying the emperor, forming cliques, betraying officials...Chen Jiang...second brother...how did you become like this...how did you become like this..."

Chen Jiang put his head on the ground: "I am guilty. I am content with pleasure and lost my mind. I am sorry to the emperor, I am sorry to the sky, I am sorry to the people of the world, I beg the emperor to forgive me."

"If I dismiss you, who do you recommend to be the prime minister?"

Chen Jiang's eyes moved, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he lowered his eyes: "This... I... I haven't thought about it."

"I didn't do a good job of inspecting people... What are you doing every day? Huh?"

"The minister is guilty."

"You always say you are guilty... Where is your crime, I will explain it for you." Gu Ao slowed down his tone and sighed: "These years, you have been the head of the Chen family, and you always want to support the younger generation. Chen Village is Those who came out with me back then, why didn't I want to support them? But you can't use methods like cheating in assessments and selling officials. You used such methods to ruin morality. How can I trust you in the future? How can I use the people you recommend?"

Chen Jiang wept and said: "Your Majesty, before Uncle Chen died, he entrusted the position of patriarch to the minister, and the minister... the minister couldn't tell the seriousness for a while, which caused this catastrophe."

Gu Ao said: "Hey, none of you will give me peace of mind. Dian Buzhi actually has contacts with King Jiangqu, what do you think I should do?"

Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and his slack eyes merged into a bright light: "Is there any relationship between King Yan and King Jiangqu?"

Gu Ao nodded.

Chen Jiang lost his voice and said: "...how can he communicate with King Jiangqu? He..."

Gu Ao looked at Chen Jiang and said nothing.Chen Jiang looked serious, and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to share the worries of the Emperor. If the King of Yan is really connected with the King of Jiangqu, the foundation of the country will be shaken. The King of Yan guards the world's martial arts, and Jiangqu is out of the court. How can he not avoid it? "

Gu Ao said: "This time, I may not be able to protect you, but I promise you that I will always take care of the children of the Chen family. But if one day I am gone and King Yan controls the world's troops, Jiang King Qu has taken charge of the courtiers..."

Chen Jiang kowtowed on the ground: "I understand. I am willing to contribute to the country and share the emperor's worries. I will not hesitate to die."

Gu Ao stood up, walked slowly in front of Chen Jiang, and helped Chen Jiang up: "Okay, okay. I believe you again."

Chen Jiang retreated, Yu Junfan looked at Gu Ao.Gu Ao thought about it for a while, then raised his face as if making up his mind, and said to Yu Junfan: "Junfan, tonight, you bring the tiger talisman and transfer the forbidden army to change defenses. The whole city is under martial law, but don't be too alarmed, especially guard Jiangqu Prince's Mansion strictly. , King Yan's residence. In addition, send Feiyu to order Gu Qian to transfer Yuyang from Shangjun to command the military forces of Jibei, Yuyang and Shangjun. In addition, let Liao Qinghui come to see me."

"Yes."

***

On this day, Dian Biao was wearing casual clothes, sitting on a stone bench in the garden of Huaixin's mansion, staring at the sky in a daze.

The wind and cloud are changing, white and blue alternate with each other, outlining a changing pattern.

Huai Xin stepped forward, pulled La Dianbiao's empty sleeve from behind, and said, "Sit outside and it's cold, go in and sit."

Dian Biao raised his face: "My elder brother is coming to the capital today, so I won't stay here for dinner, I'll go back home and wait for elder brother."

Huai Xin sighed: "I heard he made a big fuss in the court just now, don't go back today."

Dian Biao was taken aback, and said, "Why?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to sit down with me?" Huai Xin patted Dian Biao's head.

"Accompany you?" Dian Biao laughed, his youthful and innocent expression merged with the youth's cold outline, "You are newly married to your wife, and you have forgotten about my sister, do you still need me to accompany you?"

Dian Biao's empty sleeve was floating aside, looking bored, he cast a sideways glance at Huai Xin: "Don't you want me too?"

Huai Xin lowered her voice: "When will I not want you anymore?"

Dian Biao said: "You are married, you just don't want me."

Huai Xin grabs Dian Biao's sleeve, Dian Biao has no choice but to stand up, Huai Xin grabs Dian Biao's sleeve, and leads him into the yard.Dian Biao followed Huai Xin into the courtyard, Huai Xin said to a cleaning servant, "Get out."

The servant went out, Huai Xin closed the door behind Dian Biao.

"Don't go back home today, okay?" Huai Xin asked.

Dian Biao smiled and looked away.

"I must have been very happy when you talked to me like that before and kept me, but I can't be happy now..." Dian Biao looked at his broken arm, "I'm a useless person, I don't deserve your liking. "

Huai Xin stepped forward: "Don't say that you are useless, the emperor has added officials to you, and even given you a mansion. If you want to lead troops, it is not impossible."

Dian Biao shook his head: "I won't lead soldiers anymore, I can't lead soldiers." Saying that, Dian Biao stood up: "I'm leaving, brother is going to court."

Huai Xin stood in front of Dian Biao, opened her arms, and hugged him gently.

Dian Biao froze, "Brother-in-law...you..."

Huai Xin lowered her head: "Don't call me brother-in-law." As she said that, Huai Xin leaned forward and quickly kissed Dian Biao.Dian Biao's breathing became heavy, and his resolute outline was distorted. He turned his face away: "...Brother-in-law..."

Huai Xin lowered her head: "Don't leave today, and don't see your brother, we'll talk about it later."

Dian Biao's face turned red instantly: "You...you...I...I..."

Huai Xin looked at Dian Biao, approached him little by little again, took Dian Biao's healthy hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, and then gently untied his belt.

Dian Biao first stared at Huai Xin in a daze, and then hot tears flowed from his eyes: "But my hand is broken..."

Huai Xin said: "Fortunately, you are not dead. If you are dead, I will miss you. If you are not dead, you can stay by my side."

"But my arm is broken... I'm not worth it." Dian Biao repeated, crying.

"I don't dislike it." Huai Xin said.

Dian Biao held Huaixin in his arms for the first time, his eyes were foggy, and he said: "I don't understand, why is it today, I waited for so many years, thinking that you would never look at me, I don't understand, why is it today."

They kissed naturally, Dian Biao stroked Huai Xin's face with a trembling heart, Huai Xin closed her eyes, remained silent and let her do whatever she wanted.In the deep kiss, Dian Biao tightly hugged Huai Xin to his chest, he pulled Huai Xin into the room as if in a dream, and put him on the bed...

……

……

……

... Huai Xin straightened her messy hair, looked back at Dian Biao who was sleeping soundly, and breathed a sigh of relief.It felt really painful just now, but there is nothing I can do. Tomorrow, everything will be resolved.

Killing meets blood.

And I will walk to the center of the stage again - he didn't take the initiative to fight, it was Gu Ao who wanted to invite him out of the mountain.

In this situation, Gu Ao had no choice but to use him, even if he refused in every possible way.

Liao Quji was too stupid to be lonely.

Dian Bushi fell in love with the taste of power, impulsive.

Dian Biao is especially persistent and infatuated because he lost his arm.

Chen Jiang's childhood experience made him always regard himself as an elder brother and protect his weaknesses.

Everyone made him a wedding dress.

He waited for a long time, and history finally pushed him to the position he wanted.

And all this was done quietly, even Gu Ao would not notice it.

Close your eyes, if Gu Ao knows all this one day, what kind of expression will he have?

The corner of her mouth curled up, Huai Xin suddenly wanted to know.

"Brother-in-law..." Dian Biao's voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Are you thinking about the emperor again?"

Huai Xin turned her head and saw Dian Biao lying on the bed, covering his crippled arm with a quilt, her bright eyes were staring at him with a disrespectful and serious expression.

"No, no." Huai Xin leaned down and kissed Dian Biao's lips.

At this time, someone knocked on the window: "Master, my wife asked, are you going to sleep in your room today?"

"I won't go back, I'll just sleep in the guest room."

"Yes. The little one will report back to Madam."

****

In the evening, Yu Junfan arranged everything and came to Gu Ao again.Gu Ao hadn't gone to bed yet, he stood by the door with a gloomy face, watching the night.

When Yu Junfan entered the room, Gu Ao's eyes did not move: "Is everything arranged?"

Yu Junfan nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Okay, let's go back and rest."

Yu Junfan walked up to Gu Ao: "Let me accompany you today."

Gu Ao was speechless for a moment, and finally said: "It's good to stay with me."

Yu Junfan led Gu Ao to the side of the couch, and Gu Ao was guided to sit down by Yu Junfan.Yu Junfan found that Gu Ao was full of thoughts, so he was especially obedient.

The two sat there, silence filled the space.

After a while, Yu Junfan embraced Gu Ao with both arms, and kissed his face: "...why don't you talk?"

This is a long lost kiss.

Gu Ao looked at Yu Junfan for a while, but smiled: "Why, are you interested today?"

This is a topic that the two haven't touched for a long time, Yu Junfan lowered his eyes: "Do you have any?"

Gu Ao said, "I haven't. I've restrained myself for too long, and I'm used to it."

Yu Junfan put his chin on Gu Ao's shoulder, sighed deeply, and rubbed against Gu Ao's chest: "You are so tired today, I don't worry about you. If you don't have it, you won't, but I want to guard you sleep, okay?"

Gu Ao nodded, pushed Yu Junfan away, got up and went to the inner room, and Yu Junfan followed.Without saying a word, Gu Ao took off his clothes and got on the couch.Yu Junfan also undressed and lay beside Gu Ao, covered the quilt, and said to Gu Ao, "Go to sleep."

Gently patting Gu Ao's back, Gu Ao quickly fell asleep.Yu Junfan also fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake, Yu Junfan felt wet on his neck... Something was pressing on him, but it turned out that Gu Ao was leaning over to kiss him.

The kiss ended quickly, and Gu Ao's voice rang in his ears: "Are you awake?"

As soon as he nodded, Gu Ao's lips and tongue greeted him again, as if he wanted to chew everything in his mouth, and seemed to suck up all the air he could breathe—to fill the empty feeling.

Panting violently, Yu Junfan felt the kiss go down his neck...

Gu Ao's movements were not gentle, as if he wanted to sweep everything away, with a lot of wandering anger, but he seemed helpless, trying to control something, under the gust of wind and rain, Yu Junfan closed his eyes... …

……

……

……

Gu Ao finally fell asleep lying on top of him again... He hugged Gu Ao's naked back, for some reason, his eyes were astringent, and tears suddenly fell.

"I care about you very much." Looking at the curtain, Yu Junfan put his arms around Gu Ao and whispered in the dark night: "I care about you very much, Brother Ao."

Gu Ao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

***

On the second day, Prime Minister Chen Jiang went to the court and categorically denied all the accusations that King Yan did not know.At the same time, Chen Jiang announced countless circumstantial evidence of the collusion between King Jiangqu and King Yan, and threw out the theory that King Jiangqu secretly manipulated the court theory in order to plot rebellion.

For a time, there were huge waves facing inward and outward!

The two factions attacked each other with the most vicious speculations, without backing down.

Yan Wangdian didn't know how many times he wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by the guards.

Gu Ao sat on the imperial throne without saying a word; he watched the changes in the court coldly.

At the end of this quarrel, bitter words and heart-breaking words abound.Chen Jiang's faction was far-fetched and merciless, and in the end they couldn't argue without knowing the classics.

According to their mutual accusations, a large number of people in both factions are capital offences.

In the end, the two factions had to ask Gu Ao to make a decision.

Gu Ao issued a decree:

Chen Mao, the prefect of Jibei, was sentenced to death, beheaded and ransacked his home.

The prime minister, Chen Jiang, was negligent, suspended from his post and kept his job, thinking behind closed doors.

The king of Yan has misbehaved in many ways, pretended to be a military leader many years ago, slandered the court officials, killed the ministers of Yan, demoted the king, pardoned him as Marquis of Suiyang, and moved to the capital to live.

The king of Jiangqu discussed government affairs indiscriminately, colluded with civil servants and military generals, demoted the king and deposed him as a commoner.

Prince Jiang set off today to guard Yandi, accompanied by Huai Xin, head of Shanyun Academy, as Prince Taifu, with the right to dispatch troops, and his family members to stay in Beijing.

Gu Qian, the prefect of Shangjun, escorted the prince to Yandi with the northern army.

****

When Yandi heard that King Yan had been demoted, he was in an uproar.

Huai Xin and Gu Qian each led two groups of troops to intimidate them, the prince issued an order to transform them with virtue, amnesty the land of Yan, and make the land of Yan safe.

Prince Gujiang entered Yan to guard, established Beiyan County, directly under the jurisdiction of Shangjing, and Huai Xin was Beiyan County Cheng and Prince Taifu.

Since then, Yandi has taken the crown prince as the head and commanded the Han army.

In the capital, it was even more bloody.

King Taiwei mistakenly believed the prime minister Chen Jiangzhi's false accusation, and used secret guards to arrest Jiangqu King's henchmen everywhere. For a while, everyone in the capital was in danger, and complaints arose everywhere.

In the midst of the huge waves, Chen Jiang, who was suspended from his post, led his relatives to Jibei for disaster relief. He kneeled down and kowtowed to his father and the people, and the people forgave them.

Not long after, Chen Jiangguan returned to his original post and was able to retire unscathed.

Since then, the people under the jurisdiction of the prime minister's mansion have become more arrogance.

In Shangjing, they all walked horizontally and on their backs.

The author has something to say:

I will write about Lu Mouzhong and the emperor's extra volume after the end.

Volume [-]

The big tree of the Liao family fell, and the hozen scattered.

Liao Qinghui practiced alchemy behind closed doors and built a house in the deep mountains. Just like his father Liao Xing, he only wanted to become a fairy and attain the Tao, and he didn't care about worldly affairs.He had cut off contact with Chen Jiang and Liao Quji for a long time, and often entered the palace to discuss the art of immortality with the emperor.Therefore, the aftermath of King Jiangqu's abolition did not affect Liao Qinghui.

Since then, Huai Xin's wife, Liao Shi, has suffered from Huai Xin's coldness, and has repeatedly seen Huai Xin and Dian Biao in the mansion regardless of appearance, so after Huai Xin brought Dian Biao into Beiyan, she was annoyed. die.

When Gu Ao heard about it, he felt sorry for Huai Xin, thinking that the persecution was too severe.I was the one who let Huai Xin marry, and now I am the one who relegated the Liao family.Huai Xin's family was like this, Gu Ao felt guilty, but Huai Xin said to Gu Ao: "The emperor has the emperor's difficulties, and the ministers are dull, and cannot stand beside the emperor, so they can only be loyal to the emperor."

Gu Ao sighed.

"I'm sorry for you."

When Yujun Fan heard about it, he became more suspicious of Huai Xin, and once persuaded Gu Ao: "The emperor demoted Yan Wang, and the younger brother of Yan Wang should also be restrained. Why do you let him go to Yan together?"

Gu Ao said: "Dian Biao has nothing to do with what Dian Biao doesn't know. Huai Xin has no one to accompany him, and he has always sacrificed for me for so many years. Now that he likes Dian Biao, let Dian Biao go with him."

When the Liao family died, Huai Xin heard the news of his wife's death, so she rushed back from Yandi to preside over her funeral.During the funeral, many members of the Liao clan came, including female relatives.When Huai Xin was guarding his wife's coffin alone at night, a young lady avoided people and entered through the side door, and found Huai Xin who was alone.

"I beg uncle to save me." The young woman greeted her face.

Huai Xin recognized this as the youngest daughter of Liao Quji, the side concubine of Prince Gu Jiang, and the mother of the Second Emperor's grandson.

Huai Xin looked down: "How can I save you? I'm sorry for your aunt, why did you ask me?"

Concubine Liao bowed again and said: "Others don't know, but my heart is like a mirror. I know that my uncle had expected these things a long time ago, in order to protect the children with my aunt, so I deliberately ignored my aunt. But my aunt felt sad and went by herself, no wonder Uncle."

Only then did Huai Xin raise her eyes, and carefully looked at Concubine Liao's girlish face, she saw that her face was a bit like Liao Quji's, but softer, but her eyes were full of charm and spirit: "You are not simple." Huai Xin said.

"Please uncle save me."

"Why don't you go to your father Liao Quji?" Huai Xin asked.

"My father is not good at planning. He is confused in big things, but wise in small things. It was he who colluded with King Yan and violated the emperor's taboo, which led to the death of the Liao family. How can I ask him?"

Huai Xin asked again: "Then do you want to take revenge, or do you want to protect your natal family?"

"I don't want revenge, and I can't protect my natal family. I just want to protect my son."

Huai Xin said, "Sure enough, being a mother makes you stronger."

"Yes, please uncle save me."

Huai Xin said: "You ask yourself to abolish the title of side concubine, and entrust the Second Emperor Sun Guxiao to the Crown Princess Xin's upbringing, that's all."

Gu Qian's original surname was Xin, and the Xin family was the daughter of him and Tian Xiaoniu.Tian Xiaoniu took care of Gu Jiang when she was playing in Gu Ben's house since she was a child. Later, Yu Junfan led the army to conquer the south, and Gu Jiang was raised in Gu Qian's mansion, and was also looked after by Tian Xiaoniu. The two love each other like a mother and child.Gu Jiang and Xin's childhood sweetheart, so when Gu Jiang grew up, he asked to marry Xin as the crown prince and concubine, and gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, Gu Yuan.

"But he's still young, he can't leave me." Concubine Liao's eyes turned red.

Huai Xin said: "Mr. Xin is generous and has no enmity with you. Although he doesn't love him, he won't make things difficult for him. The Crown Prince personally proposed to marry Mrs. Xin because of the friendship of living together in the same mansion when he was young. It is unusual. My child As long as he is raised under Xin's knees, who dares to touch him? As for his future, I will pay attention to it, and I will also look at his own fortune. As for the affairs of the court, I will try my best to protect him. Are you relieved?"

Concubine Liao kowtowed and said, "Thank you uncle."

In the 18th year of the Apocalypse, Ye Xiongguan, the Duke of Zhenguo, died in Hanzhong, and the Taiwei Wang personally went to pay homage to him.

In the 21st year of Apocalypse, Tian Song, the Duke of Zhongguo, died of an illness, and his son succeeded to Jue.

In the 23rd year of Apocalypse, King Taiwei was seriously ill, and the emperor accompanied him day and night, describing him as thin.He has no psychology and politics, and doesn't often go to court.

Since then, Prime Minister Chen Jiang has been powerful in the court, covering the sun with one hand.Among his disciples, he often put Suiyang Hou Dian in front of the imperial court without knowing his mistakes, so he did so every day and every month.

One day, Hou Dian of Suiyang didn't know and heard that someone had complained before the imperial court, so he entered the palace with his sword and wounded countless guards. No one dared to stop him, and finally killed the complainant.Qin Chuan, the head of the guard, reprimanded Dian for being ignorant and rude.Dian didn't know how to throw his sword on the ground, crying out for grievances.The emperor blamed him deeply, and pardoned him for the crime of breaking into the palace, making him think about his mistakes.The Marquis of Suiyang was disheartened and lazy, so he closed his door and never saw any guests.

The more proud the prime minister's disciples were, they picked Suiyang Hou Shizi to fight and kill him in the marketplace.

When the Marquis of Suiyang arrived, the murderers had already dispersed.

The Marquis of Suiyang roared at the market, and no one dared to respond.

That night, Marquis Suiyang hanged himself in the mansion.

On this day, Gu Ao heard the news of the death of Dian Bushi and the son of Queen Rong, so he went to the Hou Mansion to visit Dian Bushi.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the painful whimpering inside, hoarse like a trapped animal, shocking.

Gu Ao stepped in, only to see Dian Bushi with red eyes, naked body with hair draped over his back, showing the ferocious whip marks on his back, only wearing a pair of breeches, and bare feet.He lay on the coffin, refusing anyone to approach him.

"Get out! Get out of here!" Dian Bushi's throat was broken, his voice was like a broken drum, he was hoarse and out of breath.

Gu Ao didn't leave, but walked towards Dian Bushi instead.
