Chapter 363 Dugu, the Rumored No. [-] Beauty in Dali

Zhao Rong took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Yiwu who was puzzled, and said with a smile:
"Brother Yiwu, did you have a problem with that Zhou Dufu? Did his people come into contact with you and contradict you?"

Gu Yiwu shook his head.

"No. We've been waiting here for a few days. Listening to your words, watching dances and listening to music, and ordering everything except drinking flowers and wine. There was nothing unusual during this period... Ziyu, listen to you The meaning of the words... are we waiting for them to come to the door in person?"

Zhao Rong was noncommittal, but laughed:

"Then why does Brother Yiwu have some deviations in his words? Maybe that Zhou Dufu really had a reason for not surrendering his military power, maybe he was really loyal to the late emperor."

Gu Yiwu thought for a while and nodded.

"It is indeed possible. However, I heard that almost everyone in Xingzi Town said the same thing, and the public opinion of the people is also roughly the same, summarizing him as a warlord of the feudal town who supports himself."

"Well, the public opinion of the people may be misled, and people can't believe everything they believe, but there are some things that can't be hidden from people with discerning eyes. Everyone knows what's going on."

He paused and analyzed his opinion.

"Ziyu, actually based on what I've heard in the past few days, I'm leaning towards the Young Emperor and the Dugu Empress Dowager behind him. They are not puppets supported by a certain party, but they are really exercising the right to the throne."

In the box of Xuanzihao, there was silence.

Everyone's attention was focused on Gu Yiwu and Zhao Rong who were analyzing the situation.

Zhao Rong covered the warm teacup with both hands, and walked to the viewing platform inside the box.

The box is located on the third floor of Zuixian Tower, and each box has a viewing platform, which is similar to a floor-to-ceiling transparent glass, which can provide a view of the lobby on the first floor of Zuixian Tower.

The boxes are blocked by the soundproof array between the boxes, so they don't disturb each other.

Zhao Rong took a sip of hot tea, turned his back to the crowd, and nodded without knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Yiwu continue."

Gu Yiwu nodded solemnly, rolled up his sleeves, and started pacing in the box.

"One month ago, when Emperor Dali just passed away, the most dangerous thing was that the imperial power was hanging in the air for a few days. What happened at that time is unknown, but we can see the result."

"The little prince ascended to the throne as he wished and inherited the great rule. The Empress Dowager Dugu also gained the regency power to listen to the government behind the curtain. As for the virtuous king Li Mingyi, he became the regent. This is also likely to be an exchange of interests at that time, but now, After the turbulent period, the court has stabilized."

"Only that great general, Zhou Dufu, seems to have gotten nothing. Instead, he seems to have been dealt with together. Now he is alone in the Western Army, facing pressure from all sides. Maybe this is also the limitation of Wufu. He didn't grasp the opportunity and sent the team Stand still."

Gu Yiwu said in a serious tone:

"The current Emperor Li is the crown prince appointed by the late Emperor Dali very early on. Although he is a little younger, he is the most orthodox heir. There is no competitor among the emperor's children of the same generation. In any case, the young prince's ascension to the throne is a real achievement. deserved."

"It's just that his uncle Li Mingyi is a little threatening, and he may direct a scene of sibling succession. But at the critical moment of the succession of the throne, Li Mingyi also chose to back down, and now it seems that it is also a smart move."

"Because this is the situation that is in line with most of the interests of the Dali court. It is also the best solution for a dynasty as big as Dali."

He sonorously said: "The general trend is irreversible."

"Li Mingyi and Zhou Dufu are two warriors. It is true that they are powerful. If you want military power, you have military power. If you want military power, you need force. It is indeed dangerous to leave a pair of orphans and widows after the death of the first emperor, but we must not ignore some forces that cannot be underestimated." .”

"In the court hall of Dali, there are still a large group of capable ministers and generals left by the late emperor. They all came from the troubled times before. Go deep into the hearts of the people of Dali.”

"Due to the deliberate actions of the first emperor of Dali, there are extremely many Confucian scholars in the government and the public. Almost all of the civil servants are our Confucian scholars. In addition, the people of Dali below respect the first emperor of Dali. For the remaining couple Orphans and widows are sympathetic and close."

"They are all naturally inclined to the rightful little prince to ascend the throne. The former must defend the saint's etiquette, and can assist the young emperor to win a good name in history. It is obvious how these forces and individuals should choose."

The burly scholar shook his head.

"Besides, Dali has just escaped from the troubled times, and the dynasty has not been stable for a few years. If Zhou Dufu and Li Mingyi feel that the throne has an opportunity and has a lot to do, they will meet each other. I can eat with peace of mind on a table that has been built with great difficulty. Troubled times are coming again, and mountains and rivers are broken, and there are mountains of corpses in the sea of ​​blood."

"Presumably this is something that many people would not allow to happen."

"Except for following Zhou Dufu's and Li Mingyi's followers to take a gamble, those guys who have already achieved fame in the court, those who have vested interests, are willing to take risks and shuffle their cards again?"

"Isn't it safer and more righteous to assist the young emperor in governing this stable and huge dynasty, and it can also leave a name in history. Heh, some of our brothers and sisters in Linlu Academy are now compiling history on the seventh floor of the library."

Gu Yiwu raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Rong's back.

"Ziyu, this is the 'possession' that Mr. Qi taught us in the chess class in the academy when he held black and white two pieces to fight each other."

Zhao Rong nodded. .

This Mr. Qi is also the master of chess in his candid hall.

As Zhao Rong, he couldn't see the depth of his cultivation. He just came here not long ago, and he had little contact with Mr. Qi both in and out of class.

Well, except Yu Huaijin, who is a 'good student' and a 'dogleg', who seems to be liked by every art student, some academic students with a low temper have very little contact with them, Mochi students.

Most of them come during get out of class and leave after class. The reading atmosphere in the school is relaxed.

For example, a female gentleman who likes to worry about the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Realm in front of him as a student, and has a shameful waste of fabrics, even throws two calligraphy classes in the Mochi Academy directly to Zhao Rong, an assistant teacher.

Damn it, the fine traditions and ethos of Linlu Academy's headmaster and grand priests supporting the younger generation seem to be showing signs of spreading to the bottom...

Zhao Rong was secretly vigilant.

That's why Mr. Qi, like the other gentlemen, likes to touch Yu Huaijin's name when playing chess in class, um, and Li Xueyou, he seems to like this well-behaved and serious little girl.

And I heard that Mr. Qi is also a counselor in Youlan Mansion.

Therefore, the chess class on weekdays is Zhao Rong's favorite class. Occasionally, he will hear some interesting and "inverse and correct" remarks...

At this moment, in the box of Xuan Zihao.

Gu Yiwu felt a little emotional.

"Let's look back now. There seems to be a very powerful woman among them. She should have been keenly aware of this general trend at the time and used it skillfully."

"Well, so they, the orphan and widow, successfully sat in the highest position in the court."

The students who were listening around had a slightly dazed expression.

Zhao Rong heard the words, although he remained silent.

However, he also nodded with a smile.

Gu Yiwu didn't care about the other students, but kept focusing on Zhao Rong.

At this moment, seeing that Ziyu finally had a reaction that seemed to approve, he was refreshed.

He said brightly:
"Sitting firmly on the top of the temple of the largest dynasty under the mountain in Beiwangquezhou now, behind the bead curtain is the woman in full makeup. I want to go to Hanjing to see and see. A month ago, the critical juncture of political planning, It is truly exquisite.”

"Moreover, she doesn't know how many layouts and operations there are behind the scenes."

Gu Yiwu paused, and rubbed his hands together, as if his hands were itchy.

His gaze subconsciously aimed at the small broom in the corner of the room.

But right now with so many people watching, it's not like being alone with Zhao Rong.

It seems very shameful to play the joy of a man - dancing with a long stick.

Gu Yiwu had no choice but to give up, and continued to laugh:

"This Empress Dowager Dugu is not simple. She looks very sharp and intelligent, and she is also good at taking advantage of the momentum, especially the momentum of our Confucian scholars."

"In the mourning hall of the late Emperor Dali, it can be said that he has done enough show. Ziyu, to be honest, I don't believe that a child who is ignorant of his age will have the exact concept of the death of his relatives, and will cry bitterly in front of the coffin Pass out."

"There is also the Dugu Empress Dowager, who will not eat or drink for three days and go on a hunger strike. It should be true, but if you want to say whether she is really haggard or fake haggard..."

He paused and shook his head.

Many Justice Hall students in the box looked at each other and nodded.

"However, this is something that is pure, close, and filial. The secular people just accept it, and Confucian scholars and officials in the ruling and opposition parties also approve of this behavior."

"For the common people, this is a sign that the emperor's family is as humane as the ordinary people's family. People who pay so much attention to family affection and filial piety, no matter how bad they are, they can't be so bad. Besides, what's wrong with the little prince and Queen Dugu? "

Gu Yiwu imitated the tone of ordinary people, "worried" said:

"The little prince is so pitiful when he lost his father when he was young. Queen Dugu is virtuous and virtuous, kind-hearted, and treats the people kindly. Weak and weak, unable to stand alone."

"Hey, the pair of orphans and widows left by the late emperor, facing this huge 'family property', and the villains who may jump out at any time to forcefully divide the 'family property', what should they do?"

The burly man smiled.

"For Confucian scholars inside and outside the government and the public, the most important thing is the information spread by the actions of the young emperor and the empress dowager."

"That is to say, we will continue the policy of advocating Confucianism by the first emperor of Dali, abide by the previously agreed rules of the game, govern the country with etiquette, and put filial piety first."

Zhao Qian'er, who was standing beside Zhao Rong, was thinking of some memories.

She turned her head and said something fair to the orphans and widows in the Dali court hall.

"It makes sense. However, as outsiders, we can see very clearly and see some man-made traces, but if we are in it and think about it from the perspective of this woman, this Dugu Empress Dowager is indeed It deserves understanding and sympathy."

Zhao Qian'er shook her head, "Perhaps she really has feelings for that Emperor Dali, and wants to protect the Li family."

"It's just that now there are only a pair of orphans and widows left, and the wolves around are looking around, so they have to try their best to protect themselves, and there is nothing wrong with showing off. Otherwise, it is estimated that they will be together with the little prince, and there will not be a single bone left to be eaten."

Gu Yiwu was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and nodded in agreement:

"Xiaoxian Zhao is right. We have heard a lot of things along the way."

"The whole people in Dali love and support this Empress Dowager Dugu very much. She promoted many benevolent and good governance before Dali, and she often gave advice in front of the late Emperor Dali, or pleaded for courtiers. Fengyi."

"Now she listens to the government behind the curtain, and she is obeyed both inside and outside the Dali court."

Gu Yiwu suddenly laughed and counted to Zhao Rong.

"Ziyu, in addition to being virtuous and respectful, this Empress Dowager Dugu is also known as the number one beauty in Dali. She has the most beautiful waist and is peerless. Especially her dancing posture is said to be beautiful and light. It is said that she can be seen in the lotus pond. Leaf Duckweed dances."

"It is said that women from Lidi are good at dancing with slender waists, but the Dugu Empress Dowager's slender waist dancing posture is the most beautiful. The people in Dali all say that she is a fairy who descended from the Nine Heavens Moon Palace, and the people on the mountain also say that She is a daughter of extremely pure blood, close to the ancestors of Lidi."

"It's just a pity that now that she is dressed in a phoenix crown and a high-rolling dragon chair, no one is qualified to witness the dance. Hey, it's also a big pity..."

The burly man shook his head.

When the other Zhengyi Hall students heard the words, they winked and made fun of Gu Yiwu.

The latter laughed and scolded a few times.

The silent atmosphere in the box suddenly became lively.

Although they are Confucian scholars, they happen to be young and rebellious. Most of them are the children of the fairy family on the mountain. Now Confucianism is more arranged by the elders in the family.

Moreover, they are all only Mochi students, and have not yet become Academy scholars.

So when it comes to beauties, pretty widows, wives and so on, they make fun of them in private.

Nowadays, as envoys sent by Linlu Academy, the students are backed by powerful forces, and they have an unavoidable sense of superiority over the secular people of the secular dynasty at the foot of the mountain.

What about the Empress Dowager Dali who is the mother of the world?
Don't you still have to ask them to help Feng Chan, and wait in Hanjing desperately?

Even Gu Yiwu, who is calm and careful, cannot avoid this mentality.

However, can the affairs of scholars be called obscene?

Mmm, Merry.

Zhao Rong turned his head and glanced at his classmates, knowing everyone's psychology well.

He smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Qian'er didn't pay attention to the topic of these boring men who kept talking about it, but kept focusing on her sweetheart.

She held him by the corner of his coat,

The little girl whispered softly: "Do you like girls to dance and have thin waists?"

Without waiting for Zhao Rong to recover and answer, she turned her eyes away, looked at the ground next to her, bit her pink lips, "I...I know some things, you can learn."

She suddenly frowned and felt wronged, "But Qian'er is still not tall, not as tall and slender as them..."

Zhao Rong grabbed Zhao Qian'er's little hand and shook his head, "You don't need to try to imitate others, the current little Qian'er is already very good."

Zhao Qian'er still stared at the ground without looking up.

It's just that she already narrowed her peach blossom eyes with joy, and the corners of her lips were curved, but immediately she suppressed her snickering, puffing her lips and said sadly: "I'm fine, fine, then you didn't want me before, Miss Lian I don’t want it anymore, um, fortunately, I still have a little conscience later, my lady and I didn’t fall in love with you for nothing..."

The vengeful little girl shook the little hand held by Zhao Rong, a little reluctant.

Zhao Rong coughed lightly and didn't answer the conversation.

He looked back, looked around at Gu Yiwu and the others, and said softly:

"Don't think about injustice. Don't forget what we are here to do. Let's talk about the business first. Brother Yiwu's analysis is very good. If you have any other opinions, you can continue to talk."

Everyone quieted down, sat upright, and nodded one after another.

The atmosphere quieted down.
