Chapter 42

When the emperor was angry, his corpse floated for thousands of miles!

In the spring of the 79th year of the State of Zhou, the Son of Heaven sat up on his sickbed, and as soon as the court order came out, he used all the power of the whole country to search for immortals and ask questions, and there were too many alchemists who offered alchemy.

After repairing the Xingxing Pavilion and building the Wentian Palace, the people of Zhou Kingdom fell into dire straits within a few months.

The people are in dire straits, and they mourn.

In May of the same year, General Yuan Zhengguan held the military power and was about to attack the palace in one fell swoop. Prime Minister An Chuzhuo quickly took control of the government and ordered Yuan Zhengguan to gather all troops and send troops to Yinshan.

Missing the best time to rebel, Yuan Zheng complied with An Chuzhuo's arrangement with a sense of current affairs.

In September of the same year, Yinshan was victorious, but Yuan Zhengguan had long since lost his control over the court. The army that sent troops to fight was full of secret agents, who were always monitoring his actions.

In November of the same year, the emperor fell ill, and the prime minister An Chuzhuo helped the five-year-old grandson ascend the throne. The third son of the emperor was demoted to common people, the fourth son of the emperor was exiled to Chuzhou, and the ninth son of the emperor was granted the title of King Shen and granted him the mansion of King Shen.

In December of the same year, the imperial court gave amnesty to the whole world, exempted from taxation, opened Enke, and the imperial court began to reshuffle.

This year's Zhou Kingdom stood firm in the wind and rain, the prime minister An Chuzhuo, no, it should be called the Regent's An Chuzhuo, the tough method, fast, accurate, ruthless, shocked the court, the crisis-ridden people Ghosts and snakes and gibberish.

Everyone in the court is in danger.

Deterrence in troubled times, comfort in prosperous times.

At the beginning of the new year, the whole world celebrated together, and history also embarked on the same track as in the previous life. The regent held a draft for the six-year-old emperor.

Without Gu Nian, Yuan Zhengguan carried Liu Yunshan's daughter, Gu Lu, into the palace in a small sedan chair.

Gu Nian looked at the mansion newspaper and shook his head, wondering whether Liu Yunshan, who got his wish and sat in the main room, would regret it. Is Yuan Zhengguan's behavior of only caring about himself and ignoring others, worthy of her and her father and brother's dedication?
Looking away, Gu Nian continued to embark on the bumpy road, like a duckweed, in a year, he quickly traveled all over the Zhou country.

Back home, Gu Qingyue took Gu Nian's hand. A year ago, she was about the same height as her, but looking at it now, she needs to look up.

She caressed Gu Nian's face and said joyfully, "I've grown taller and darker, and I look more energetic."

Hearing this, Cuihuan raised her eyes and glanced up, pouted her lips, and said: "The young master hasn't come home for a year, and he hasn't sent a letter to his family, maybe he was caught by the wild flowers outside and couldn't come back. ?”

A wave of sourness rushed over her face. The eldest lady in the general's mansion has already become a taboo in everyone's heart.

Gu Qingyue glared at her angrily, and scolded with a smile: "You little hoof, you don't have a good word to say, isn't it you who talk the most on weekdays? Why did you not give me a good face when the young master came back?"

Cuihuan retorted: "Hey, my good master, didn't the slave complain for you? Tell me, it's been a year since you left, can you not hold it in your heart? Besides, is it the slave who screams a lot, or the slave? How much do you call?"

Gu Qingyue made a gesture to hit Cuihuan, but she deftly dodged it.

Zhang Xiaofeng on the side is also nine years old now, and Gu Qingyue is willing to entrust him with certain things, all the immaturity in her childhood has subsided, and she said firmly: "Master, we miss you very much, the master even praised you in school. Let Xiaofeng speak my words, and you already have a bit of your strength of character."

The happy people gathered together, Gu Nian felt that now she was surrounded by happiness, and an unprecedented sense of comfort made her feel relieved.

After a peaceful and delicious lunch, Gu Qingyue took Gu Nian and took a nap under the flower stand in the yard. The wisteria flowers on the top were blooming in clusters, like a thin purple cloud, enveloping a faint Warm fragrance.

Gu Qingyue poured water into a tea bowl, handed it to Gu Nian, collected her expression, and said in a deep voice: "Mother didn't even ask you how you've been this past year, it must have been bad, otherwise, it's just a squeeze. , and you can spare some time to write us a letter to tell us that you are safe. Nianer, there is a box under the dressing table in your mother’s bedroom, and there is a list of your grandfather’s former subordinates in it. Some people can still use it. Mother can't share the burden of revitalizing the Gu family with you. There are some things that mother can do, and she will definitely do it for you. Nian'er, no matter whether you succeed or not, mother will be there wherever you are."

This year's travel has allowed Gu Nian to experience a lot, and it has also made her more calm. Gu Nian's face remained unchanged, and after pondering for a long time, she yelled at Gu Qingyue: "Mother..." All the unfinished words are included here. In a cordial greeting.

Gu Nian straightened her spine, she was like a grain of gravel, wrapped by Gu Qingyue's soft feet, until it was polished into a warm and shiny pearl.

Following Master An, she crossed rivers, climbed mountains, crossed snow peaks, and walked through jungles.

I have seen the vast and magnificent frontier, and I have experienced the tragedy of the desert and the sunset.

I have seen locusts crossing the border, the vegetation disappeared overnight, and the fields had no harvest. However, the government was corrupt, and the people who could not survive changed their children to eat.

I have seen torrential floods falling from the sky, the water submerged the plains, and after the water receded, mud and sand were left all over the place, a mess, livestock rotting and smelling in the hot weather, and plagues everywhere. She and Master An Li saved countless people under difficult conditions. Thousands of people.

I have seen brutal officials beating each other into tricks, officials and businessmen fighting each other, and the resistance of the common people was finally no match for the officers and soldiers who came out, causing heavy casualties.

I have also seen the shining of the brilliance of human nature, the poor and innocent parents and officials, the ascetic monks who have been ascetic for more than ten years, saving lives and healing the wounded for the common people without asking for reward.

I've seen the most beautiful sunset, I've seen the sunrise in the east, I've drank dew, I've swallowed mud, I've seen other people die, I've escaped death myself.

Isn't everyone struggling in this world?
After resting at home for a whole day, Gu Nian showed his master the articles he had written in the past year. On the way, he ran into a fellow student, Cheng Wen, the son of a well-known merchant in Cangzhou.

Seeing Gu Nian approaching, the other party blocked her way with strides. With a smile that was not a smile, he said ironically, "Isn't this a well-known talent in Cangzhou? What, how famous is he? Oh, yes, this gold list , I don’t seem to have seen your name, hahahaha, great talent, aren’t you very proud?”

Cheng Wen sneered, raised his eyebrows, squinted at Gu Nian's article under his armpit, and took advantage of her not paying attention, quickly pulled it out, casually flipped it a few times, and sarcastically said: "I see, you are just a It's just a show, it's not worth the master's attention, why do you have to "hard work"? You say it is." The hand loosened, and a thick stack of rice paper floated to the ground.

He was especially reconciled, and stepped on the paper with his cloud-patterned black gold boots, crushing it a few times vigorously.

Gu Nian couldn't bear it any longer, verbal insults didn't have any effect on her, but this rice paper recorded her hard work for the past year, how could she be so contemptuous.

She yelled sharply: "Cheng Wen, I know that you are the top three in the gold list this time, and you were born as a Jinshi, but you are such a villain, and you are destined to not go far. You must be the one who wins and I lose, and you don't know who will win?"

In Gu Nian's dark eyes, there were waves hidden, and Cheng Wen felt that he was the wild deer she was chasing, and was finally nailed to the tree stump by an arrow through his heart.

Cheng Wen was terrified in his heart, but he still yelled calmly: "Gu Chuhe, let's see who it is, it will be the animal with no bones left!"

After putting down the ruthless words, he still wanted to trouble Gu Nian again. The teacher who was found by Xunsheng saw them and severely reprimanded them: "When I entered the school, I repeatedly stated that the students in the school are forbidden to kill each other. Is it in the back of your head? Cheng Wen, although you are now a Jinshi, but you have a body, and you are rude; if you are rude, you will die? How can a person with bad conduct work for the welfare of the people of the world? Is that what I taught you?"

"And you, Gu Chuhe, are fighting in the same room. Why is it so urgent to fight each other? Time flies, and if you don't study, can you communicate with your family and country? The road is long and long, and you should search up and down. The right way is to learn! But knowing the meaning, it is even worse to be ashamed of being an ignorant child."

The two bowed down to receive the training, and Gu Nian got an extra penalty, copying the "Book of Commandments" twenty times.

Under the mediation of his master, Cheng Wen walked away.

As for how to think in his heart, I am afraid that only he knows...
