Chapter 55

In mid-December, before the Xiongnu had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, Yuan Zheng watched and attacked east and west, occupying the advantage of a large number of people, and after placing the opponent in the enemy's rear, he went straight to Xihe.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

General Cai's [-] cavalry, together with Yuan Zhengguan's soldiers and horses, rushed into Xihe in one fell swoop and strangled countless Xiongnu who still had the blood of innocent people in Xihe on their blades.

This battle lasted for three months.

The temptation of 3 people led to the Battle of Xihe, and the few remaining Huns escaped from the grasslands of Mobei, and Mo Nan never had a royal court.

Zhou Guo regained Longxi, which had been occupied by the Huns for five or sixty years.

The whole country celebrates and celebrates the return of the soldiers to the imperial court. Everyone has forgotten the [-] compatriots who have been forgotten in Xihe City.

The soldiers will retreat, leaving an empty city...

Looking at the jubilant scene, Gu Nian felt chills in her heart.

Gains and losses, gains and losses, is it in An Chuzhuo's heart, only the righteousness of the country, what kind of human ethics and principles, innocent people, in front of him, seem to be things that can be disposed of at will, even if they are lost, there is no pity...

In Gu Nian's heart, she still felt cruel. Does anyone remember whether those who died were in everyone's hearts? There is nothing worthy of mourning in this city full of Xihe people.

Only the heroes can be remembered, the people living in the shadows will never stand in the light...

The delicacies and jubilant occasions seemed out of place for Gu Nianyou.

In the middle of the feast, Gu Nian left. Her thoughts could not be integrated into this place. She wanted to change, but after working hard, she finally realized that the only one who can change is herself.

All visions and expectations were shattered at this moment. The gap between ideal and idealization was her most erroneous perception of the world.

Gu Nian looked at the bright moon hanging above her head, the bright moonlight was as beautiful as before, the only thing that wasn't beautiful was her state of mind...

During this period of time, except for necessity, Gu Nian no longer stayed with the emperor in the imperial study room every day, saying that whether she did it on purpose or because she was mentally fragile, in short, she didn't want to get involved with this group of people anymore.

Treating human life as a joke, this incident has become a thorn in her heart that cannot be erased.

The more affection she puts into this world, the more disappointment she gets...

The anger in her heart made her feel that she was trying to restrain herself every day, and she wanted to interpret everyone's words and deeds too much, and the result after interpretation always suffocated her.

……

In the spring of [-] in Zhou State, all things were revived, the grass grew and warblers flew, the lakes and rivers that had been frozen for a winter began to melt, and the lively atmosphere of the New Year had just passed, and Zhou Guo also ushered in a new day.

"If you have something to play, if you have nothing to go back to the court—"

"My minister has something to say!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up, with a smile on his face, and congratulated: "My lord, the fishermen in all the coastal states have made arrangements, and skilled craftsmen have also built a treasure ship that can go to the ocean, and it can carry 800 million. It is parked at the port of Jiangzhou, Your Majesty can go and have a look at it!"

"Okay! The craftsmen are rewarded for their merits in building ships!"

Sitting on the Dragon Throne, the Son of Heaven no longer looks like his childhood appearance. His facial features are sharp and sharp, his eyebrows are deep, and when he looks at people, he also has the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

In Gu Nian's memory, that soft, chubby emperor has already become a memory.

The charter for opening the sea formulated by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs was also put on the emperor's table early on, that is, the candidate, which has not been finalized for a long time.

This person must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but also have kind thoughts in his heart. He must not only have a wealth of knowledge, but also have a broad mind, be able to endure loneliness, and be able to respond quickly to unexpected events.

In the imperial court, there are really too few such candidates to be found.

The emperor and An Chuzhuo negated a lot, but in the end they couldn't find a person who met the requirements.

The first diplomacy in the history of the state of Zhou can only succeed, not fail!
After going to court, Gu Nian returned home, which was the place she was most familiar with.

Gu Qingyue was reading a book under the wisteria trellis, when she saw Gu Nian, she rushed over to greet her.

It was because Gu Nian's face was too ugly, and his whole body was full of resentment: "Nian'er, are you in a bad mood? Do you want to go for a walk?"

Gu Nian shook his head, didn't speak, let's go, where are we going?In the whole world, could it be the king's land, no matter where she could go, she might not be able to escape this disgusting place.

A big ship suddenly appeared in my mind, drifting in the blue water, crossing the coastline and heading deeper into the ocean.

"Mom, let's go for a walk!"

Gu Nian's eyes rekindled new hope, and he looked at her eagerly.

Gu Qingyue was at a loss, she didn't understand how suddenly, Gu Nian's whole body changed drastically.

She nodded, pulled Gu Nian and walked out, "Okay, let's go for a walk, but it's getting late, we can't go too far."

Once, twice, without pulling Gu Nian, Gu Qingyue turned her head and looked at Gu Nian's solemn expression.

"mother……"

Gu Qingyue is not an official lady who hides in the deep boudoir, she has a daughter who is an official in the court and holds a high position, and she basically knows what happened in the court.

When Gu Nian said to walk, he wanted to leave this land and float in the sea...

She let go of her hand and took a step back, as if she wanted to get to know her again. In the past, she never dared to imagine that a daughter's family could suddenly become the humerus of the court.

Today, Gu Nian has put in more effort and effort than others, and behind every success is her sweat.

She saw all this in her eyes and kept it in her heart.

The hope in Gu Nian's eyes dimmed, without saying anything, he forced a smile towards Gu Qingyue, turned and left.

She doesn't blame Gu Qingyue, she did the outrageous thing once, and it has already scared Gu Qingyue enough. This time, how could she let Gu Qingyue embark on a long road because of her own selfishness? uncertain road...

What Gu Qingyue gave her was already enough.

There is nothing to be hypocritical, Gu Nian told himself in his heart, just because he got love in two worlds, has even his heart changed?
Where did that indestructible, cold-blooded Gu Nian go, she wanted to find her back!
"Wait! Sister Nian, my mother agrees. Let's go out to sea and treat it as a play, to see different scenery, and my mother will not be in vain in this world."

Gu Nian burst into tears, screaming in his heart, but couldn't say a word, turned around and hugged Gu Qingyue, and cried for a long time under the wrap of Gu Qingyue's breath.

"Mother, don't go, let's not go..., don't just because of me, I will feel guilty and never forgive myself..."

Gu Qingyue straightened her long hair between the temples, smiled, there were traces of age at the end of her eyes, and silver traces in her dense hair.

"How could it be for you? Although you accounted for a large part of it, don't forget that I used to be the daughter of General Gu and grew up in the border gate. What you want to do now is also me. What I wanted to do in the past. When I was young, I would also ask myself why I was not a man, why I couldn’t ride a horse to kill enemies, go out to sea by boat, and be a butcher for officials, but until I had you. Nian’er, it’s not just for you , but also for myself.”

Lu Qingyue looked at her firmly, the light in her eyes was brighter than before!
Gu Nian held her hand, overlapped his own, and said firmly, "Mother, let's go to sea together!"

As early as the day when Gu's truth came to light, Gu Nian accepted Gu Qingyue as his mother in front of everyone.

The next day, Gu Nian submitted the memorial, her words were sincere and well-founded, and she believed that there was no one in the court who was more satisfied with the requirements of going to sea than her.

One day, two days..., for nearly ten days, there was no response from the emperor and An Chuzhuo, Gu Nian didn't want to wait any longer.

After retreating from the court that day, she stopped him on the way the emperor must pass: "My humble minister, Gu Yekuo, kowtow to the Holy Majesty."

"Gu Fuxue, please get up quickly."

The emperor wanted to pull her up. Although Gu Nian was not a high-ranking official, he could be regarded as his half-teacher. The heaven and the earth were close to the emperor and his teacher. She had indelible traces in his heart due to emotion and reason.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister came here for the purpose of going to sea. I don't know if you will approve the note I handed over."

Gu Nian said straight to the point that both parties benefited, but for some reason there was no answer until now.

The emperor lowered his eyes, looked at his feet, and said lightly: "The regent is solely responsible for this matter."
