worry

That was probably the most unforgettable pain in his life. Gu Yun said this and didn't want to talk about it any further, but it might be that those words had been in his heart for many years, and he couldn't stop for a moment.

"The northern border is really hard. Just after the war, there are wounded soldiers everywhere. Every day, the sun sets in the yellow sand and the princess can't even drink a sip of hot tea under the tent. How can I be a young master in the capital? I started to quarrel and wanted to go back. The old marquis refused to do it. I was annoyed by me, so I took me to the ranks. Every day, the soldiers of the Xuantie Camp practiced troops, so I had to accompany me to practice martial arts. If I was lazy, he would hit me in front of those iron giants."

The old marquis calculated his son's dog temper. Tao Guitao, but in front of everyone, this little thing would never cry and lose face even if it was not as tall as others.

Chang Geng leaned on him, his chin was placed on Gu Yun's shoulder, and he said to his ear: "If I had been twenty years old, I would have picked you up and stole it, and put it in the beautiful bushes to raise it."

Gu Yun imagined the scene, and was speechless by him and could not help but laugh and cry.

In fact, when you think about it carefully, many people have declined since the three generations. Children like Gu Yun were born alone. If he had really allowed him to grow up in the capital, he might have to be naughty when he grew up. He had to have a cruel father like the old marquis to repair him with such a cruel hand, so that the Xuantie Camp would not have no successor.

But no one expected that the cost of becoming a talent would be too high.

"Bo Wang said that after you came back from Northern Xinjiang, your temperament changed. If you don't like to meet others, you will ignore anyone." Chang Geng paused, pulled his hand and wrote, "Do you hate the late emperor?"

Gu Yun paused, subconsciously wanted to touch the wine pot on his waist. When he stretched out his hand, he remembered that he had decided to quit drinking, and the wine pot had long been gone.

Gu Yun pursed his lips: "Don't hate... I'll pour me a cup of tea."

Chang Geng almost thought he had heard it wrong.

The siege of the capital was just resolved, and Gu Yun was so injured that he couldn't get up. As soon as he opened his mouth, he still asked for alcohol without knowing how to drink. Why did he go to the Western Regions to fight a war and know how to maintain his health?

Although Changgeng had always complained about this drunkard, he felt a little "splied" when he saw him suddenly changing his nature. He was surprised by the fact that he was not happy. He stood up and made a cup of spring tea for Gu Yun, and became suspicious again. He quietly put his wrists on his wrist, only regretting that he was not good at studying and was unable to make any name for himself.

Although he was inconvenient to ears, Gu Yun still felt his nervousness and immediately reacted, realizing that he had exposed his strength. Chang Geng was too sensitive. If a person has always had bad records, it would be better to go down so badly. The person who followed him to deal with it was used to it. Instead, his sudden change in nature without warning would make people at a loss.

So Gu Yun drank the tea without any reason and licked his lips: "I don't know where the wine pot fell. Is there any homemade wine sent by Mr. Shen last time?"

This sentence sounds more like Gu Yun's style. After a long time of trouble, he was thirsty just now. Chang Geng felt a little relieved and refused, "It's gone, let's have tea."

Gu Yun said "tsk" half-truely, and then something was given to his mouth. A sticky and sweet smell of glutinous rice penetrated into his nose. Gu Yun leaned back: "What? I don't want... um..."

Chang Geng put it in his mouth and fed it to him.

Gu Yun frowned. He was born to not like sweet food. He was so choked by Chang Geng and the refreshment, but he didn't spit it out. He ate it whole like the egg noodles with half an eggshell many years ago, and chewed a little too sweet bitterness from the overly sweet bean paste filling.

He suddenly felt a little uneasy, thinking that Chang Geng's greasy spirit was abnormal. He just heard that the sudden tense suspicion when he was not drinking was not normal.

The ultimate great sorrow and joy are often not lasting because they are too exhausted. They usually only last for a short time. After that, they either turn into numbness or chaos, or the person involved will divert attention and dilute these emotions and protect themselves instinctively.

Gu Yun said seriously: "Chang Geng, give me the glass mirror."

"No," Chang Geng circled him from his side in a confinement posture, and asked relentlessly, "Why don't you hate?"

His last question was eager and indifferent, and he wanted to get his answers of "hate" and "not hate", as if Gu Yun had to admit a "hate" and "no hatred".

The coldness was like he forgot that the "Last Emperor" in his mouth was his biological father. He mentioned it casually, as casually as if he mentioned the cats and dogs on the roadside.

Gu Yun's heart was slightly calmed, he was silent for a while, and asked back, "Where are you? Do you still hate Hugel now?"

Chang Geng didn't expect him to throw the words back and blinked a little unexpectedly - if Gu Yun could see clearly at this time, he would find that his eyes were no longer red, but his pupils still had a double shadow.

Chang Geng replied with a high sound: "If she was still in front of me, I would have peeled her skin and cramped her, but she was dead and there was no place to bury her. Even if I wanted to dig her out, I would have nowhere to find her. No matter how much I hate her, I would not be able to dissolve it. Instead, it would accelerate the poisonous ejaculation as she wanted, right?"

This is definitely not his true words. No matter how big Gu Yun is, he can hear it no matter how deaf he is.

Gu Yun was about to speak when he suddenly felt the person who was lying on him was shocked - the kind of shock that was frightened by the sudden interruption when he was fully focused.

A slight wind blew behind me, and it seemed that someone knocked on the door of the study.

Gu Yun turned his head and asked, "Bon Wang or Lao Huo?"

The old housekeeper at the door raised his voice and shouted: "Marty, it's me, someone from Lingshu Courtyard is looking for His Highness Yan King!"

Chang Geng's heavy eyes suddenly shrank back. At first glance, he seemed to be stimulated by strong light. He subconsciously let go of Gu Yun, showing a little restraint of "not touching if you are not polite" as usual. He was halfway through his restraint, and remembered something, and a blank expression flashed on his face.

Gu Yun pretended not to notice: "Go ahead and do it. I haven't eaten seriously for several days. I went to find something to eat. I just stuffed a piece of it by you. I don't know what's wrong... I choked so that my stomach was sore and sore."

Chang Geng was stunned at first, then patted his forehead hard and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance: "I... that... I am really..."

He stood up and said in a hurry: "I'll ask the kitchen to make some digestible for you first."

Wang Bo hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll go now."

Chang Geng walked to the door of the study room in one breath, remembered something again, touched himself, took out Gu Yun's glass mirror from his arms, turned back and returned it to him, and the metal chain and outer frame were covered with warmth. Chang Geng carefully wiped the lenses and put them on Gu Yun's nose. His eyes lingered on his face for a long time, and suddenly whispered: "Zi Xi, I feel like I'm dreaming."

Gu Yun was tossed by him all the time. He was very angry when he heard this and wanted to say "I slap you to see if it hurts."

Unexpectedly, before he could say it, Chang Geng paused slightly, stood back, and smiled bitterly with a little self-deprecatingly: "I haven't had such a good dream since I grew up, I'd be fine if I can't wake up."

Gu Yun: "..."

As soon as he was normal, Gu Yun immediately couldn't bear to blame him again. He felt that he had to follow the trouble a few more times, so he had to act calmly and wave his hand to send him out quickly.

In the early summer of the eighth year of Long'an, although Gu Dashuai had been infringing on Tai Sui, Daliang's national fortune seemed to slowly recover from falling to the bottom. It was like after the long winter, fragments of tender buds began to appear on the branches under the boundless white snow.

After entering the summer, the Marquis of Anding first cut off the chaos of the Western vassal states and quelled the rebellion of Western vassal states. The "New Silk Road Contract" was signed, and the Xuantie Camp escorted Ziliujin from the Western Regions to Beijing.

At this point, Daliang finally broke out a speech under the entanglement of the enemy.

As soon as Chen Yi and others arrived, good news came from Lingshu Academy.

Gu Yun's big iron bow that had never been promoted in the army finally made a new breakthrough. Ge Chen, a rising star who was a butcher, has indeed designed a new gold box, which is extremely light and can be installed on a bow and arrow, and is perfectly controlled by human power.

The weight of the iron bow string that is not a peerless master cannot pull is reduced by more than half. It can shoot the White Rainbow iron arrows effortlessly through the hands of humans. It has extremely high accuracy and is heavy and not easily affected by the strong wind. Once this batch of bows is driven out on a large scale, the White Rainbow will disappear from the Daliang army from then on. The iron arrows can also be added with a lighter system. After being shot out, the characteristic iron arrows can accelerate twice in the air, and even explode in the enemy formation, which is extremely powerful.

At the end of June, as the confrontation between the Xuantie Camp was gradually becoming more prominent, the war situation between the north and the south was briefly stabilized, and Daliang had a chance to breathe. Everyone in the court knew that the most urgent task was to calm the people, especially to settle the refugees who were exiled in various places during the war.

But how to rest and settle down?

It is absolutely impossible to re-arrange land for these refugees. No master of Qingtian is so noble that he gives up his own land to others.

The Military Affairs Office organized several major court meetings to convene ministers to discuss, but never discussed it. It only collected a bunch of bad ideas, such as organizing refugees to open up land, which made Emperor Longan so angry that he was furious in court that he accused the court officials of being in a state of corpse: "Why don't you say you would gather refugees to exile them to the East China Sea to imitate Jingwei?"

Suddenly, Prince Yan of the Military Affairs Office took the lead in silence and did not express his opinion. The six ministries and local officials handed over each other's remarks and quarreled in court. At this moment, Du Wanquan brought his thirteen great masters from all over the world to write to the court, claiming that they were willing to follow the Westerners and set up private factories in various places to gather refugees from all over the country to produce.

This way, there is no need for much land. At that time, Chang Geng arranged for corrupt officials who were unfavorable to refugees to confiscate the land from the canal. They also planned to use the farming puppets in Jiangnan as a model to summon a group of civilian long-armed masters to transform a series of civilian lighters.

With the issuance of the second batch of beacon tickets, a undercurrent force gradually gathered in the court. When they were dormant, they seemed completely out of faction at first glance, but they secretly began to promote this matter without showing any signs. They advised Emperor Long'an to give these civilian charity merchants who were the first to stand up to carry beacon tickets. For example, they could directly write to the Military Affairs Office and request the emperor himself to give special approval, and then allow them to purchase a certain limit of purple gold every year while ensuring military use.

This note was first presented from the Ministry of Works. Meng Jue, the Minister of Works, was a poor scholar from the Hanlin family. The note said: This is a plan to kill three birds with one stone. It not only solves the riots of refugees in various places, but also shows that the court will not treat those who have made meritorious people unfairly. The silver obtained from the purple gold and silver sold to these giants at high prices can also be added to military combat preparations.

This stone caused a thousand layers of waves. This time, someone in the family of the savage family with a keen sense of smell finally came to their senses.

Gu Yun, who hadn't been to court for a long time, had the honor to listen to the tense Shengjing of the Great Court. He was stunned and felt that this place was more dangerous than the front line with open guns and hidden arrows.

With a memorial to the thirteen great masters, the backlog of conflicts between the gentry and the rising stars of poor families suddenly intensified. At this time, people with a long mind had already discovered the secret transactions of collusion between officials and businessmen, and had a keen sense of smell. They realized that this irresistible future of this emerging force would shake the foundation of the gentry, and a sense of crisis that was declining to the west quietly arose.

In the court, the pro-chamber of Commerce accused the aristocratic families of "forming cliques for personal gain and harming the country and the people", "stand and talking without pain", and even more, they were furious and pointed at the other party's nose and scolded, "You have an idea, it's better to let the refugees settle in the noble house."

Several major families were blushing and controversial about "How can merchants enter the hall of elegance?" "How can the vital weapons of the Ziliu Jin Kingdom flow into the hands of their own?" In the end, they simply said "I don't know how many adults accepted bribes and wore pants with these peddlers."

Then a row of generals looked at each other without saying a word, and watched each other on the wall together. Finally, the Military Affairs Office ran out of the way and said one by one and one by one.

Gu Yun looked up at Emperor Longan, and felt that Li Feng was really old. He was only in his thirties and had already grown up all over his hair. His forehead was full of resilience. For a moment, Gu Yun suddenly thought: "If he had been nailed to death by a stray arrow on the red-headed kite when the city was about to break out, wouldn't it be a good thing for him?"

Li Feng seemed to feel something, and just looked up and met Gu Yun's gaze.

After the day dispersed, Gu Yun was left in the palace. The two had a falling out before the battle, and then they fought around without stopping, and had almost no chance to get along in private. This time, they chatted about gossip in the place where they grew up together for years, almost as if they were a different life. Li Feng left Gu Yun for a moment. He was really impulsive when he walked together in the imperial garden, and only then did he find that there was nothing to say, which was really embarrassing.

At this moment, the prince passed by after school and came over to greet him.

Li Feng was not addicted to the harem, and his offspring was not rich. The prince had just turned eight years old and had not started to grow taller. He was a little childish. When he saw Li Feng, he came forward to greet him in a regular manner and said, "Father."

Then he looked at Gu Yun carefully, wanting to talk to him, but he doesn't know who this person is.

Gu Yun smiled at him: "Since Gu Yun, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince was shocked. The little boy loved to listen to stories about great heroes. When he saw the real person, he was very excited on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to barely maintain the prince's dignity in front of his father. His little face turned red and he said stutteringly: "Gu, General Gu! No... that... the emperor's uncle, no need to be polite. I have also learned the name of the emperor's uncle."

Gu Yun looked a little strange: "...Your Highness is so polite."

The three words "Uncle Uncle" gave him a knowing blow, making him feel that he had grown a beard two feet long.

That day, Li Feng retreated and left the prince with him. No one knew what he and Gu Yun had talked about. The palace maids only knew that the little prince seemed to be very close to Anding Hou and kept pestering him and refused to leave. Finally, he lay on Gu Yun's shoulder and fell asleep. Anding Hou personally sent it back to the Eastern Palace.

Before leaving, Emperor Long'an specifically instructed Gu Yun that if he had time, he would often come to the palace to see it and give guidance to the prince.

Before, the emperor turned against Anding Hou, and the military and political discontent seemed to be just a ripple that was deliberately forgotten.

At this time, Jiang Chong hurried to the private room of Wangnanlou, took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Chang Geng: "Prince, look at this. Our foundation in the court is not stable. This time, we may have been a little too hasty."

It was a rubbing of memorials. Jiang Chong lowered his voice and said, "It was leaked from the Great Inner. After the court came, several major families handed the memorials to the emperor through Wang Guojiu. I'm afraid it's been planned for a long time."

Chang Geng took it with his expression unchanged: "Uncle Wang Guo? Has his butt cleaned? There have been wars during this period. General Tan died in the capital, so he felt that no one had pursued him?"

Jiang Chong lowered his voice: "Prince, Wang Guowei is the Queen Mother's family. As long as he does not rebel, the Emperor will not touch him... Besides, who dares to mention that incident back then? If Wang Guowei was defeated on this ground, wouldn't the late emperor have a reputation as a fool who was deceived by a little lady and tyrant and harmed the loyal and kind? The son did not say his father's fault, and the Emperor would not have done Wang Gu because of this matter."

Chang Geng glanced at the rubbing with expressionless face, and suddenly said "Huh".

Jiang Chong: "What?"

Chang Geng: "This thing doesn't seem to be what Wang Gu can think of, whose work?"

Jiang Chong: "Oh, this person has a great relationship with the prince. Didn't the Fang family intend to marry the prince at that time? The person who caught the knife behind this was Miss Fang's uncle. Fang Qin, the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue, was originally the top scholar appointed by the late emperor in the 18th year of Yuanhe. He was the only one in the previous dynasty who won three yuan in a row. He was famous since childhood."

Since Fang Qin took over the Ministry of Revenue, his affairs were well organized and cooperated with the Military Affairs Office properly and never dragged him down. He was a capable minister. Unfortunately, his butt determined his head. He was born in the Fang family and represented the Fang family, and was destined to be a stumbling block with outstanding talent.

"The master of the half-time rank is in the limelight." Chang Geng gently knocked on the table, "In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang should fly to the homes of ordinary people."
