Chapter 202 The old dragon dies
She knew very well that her own intelligence and patience were not enough to promote changes in politics and ancient social systems.

As she said, "The emperor not only has to deal with busy national affairs, but every decision is related to the life and death of the people, survival and death. If there is a slight negligence or mistake, it is very likely to cause unrest in the entire society. ”

"In addition, the emperor's daily life is not actually free and unrestrained, but is restricted and bound by many rules, regulations and etiquette."

"Because of this, even in this dynasty where men and women are equal, your wife and I are still stubborn and unruly, and we don't want to become a dragon trapped in a deep pool."

"Oh, that's wrong! Your wife, I am a woman, how can I be called a dragon? It should be said that I am the phoenix that spreads its wings and soars freely above the nine heavens."

Han Yili: "..."

If his own conditions allowed, why wouldn't he want to be like other men who could wear armor and fight bravely, leaving brilliant achievements on the battlefield and making his name go down in history?

Or enter the official career by taking the imperial examination. Pursuing one's ideals and serving the imperial court can leave one's own footprints in the long river of history.

It's a pity that fate has played a trick on man. His body is useless and he cannot contribute to the contemporary era with his talents and wisdom.

Hearing that his wife had a slight contempt for the royal family, Han Yili was speechless for a while, and felt an indescribable feeling of confusion in his heart. "Since Ayu doesn't want to think about it, let's not think about it."

"Of course I won't think about it." Gu Yu noticed that Han Yili was looking at him up and down with a complicated and unspeakable look, and continued: "It's just that I think there are many shortcomings in being an emperor, and there are still countless people who work for the supreme one. Fighting for position, struggling between power and responsibility.”

Recalling the fourth prince who did not hesitate to kill innocent people in order to satisfy his selfish desires; the third prince who fought with various forces in the Han family and framed Han Yili for a bright future; and the fifth prince who involved his own family.

Gu Yu occasionally felt confused and puzzled, wondering why these people would kill others and even their brothers and sisters so resolutely and without hesitation.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized that maybe when they got to this point, it involved not only personal life and death, but also their families and the subordinates who were always pushing them forward behind the scenes.

Even if you know that the road ahead is rough and difficult, there is no way out. All we can do is grit our teeth and move forward bravely.

If you are lucky enough to win, you can become the overlord who dominates the world; if you fail.
Ha ha!

failure?

If he fails, he will be like the fifth and fourth princes who have already died in his own hands, and will become a prey to the sword and be slaughtered by others!

Listening to what Gu Yu said, Han Yili couldn't help but sigh at this man's bold and unrestrained character. However, when he heard the last words spoken by the other party, an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart, so he responded: "We are in very different positions. Once we meet, it will definitely be a life and death battle."

Gu Yu naturally knew the difference between their positions.

If she makes one wrong move and is slightly careless, causing Han Yili to fall into the hands of the fourth prince, then the fate of the fourth prince today will surely become a reflection of their family's fate tomorrow.

No, even though the Fourth Prince is dead, she is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately or vents her anger on others. She will not do anything to the Fourth Prince's old subordinates.

It all depends on their own choice, whether they want to continue to side with the fourth prince or find another master, it has nothing to do with her.

The Gu family has no power, and the outcome may not be as clean and tidy as the fourth prince's death. "I know, I just don't like the intrigues and intrigues in this circle."

When Han Yili first met Gu Yu, he considered finding a future for her and getting out of the mountains. Since the two got married, they have really understood that Gu Yu really doesn't like this circle, otherwise he would rely on Gu Yu's ability.

Even without his help, Gu Yuruo wanted to climb up and reach a higher status than now.

Since Gu Yu didn't like to discuss this topic, Han Yili changed the topic appropriately and joked: "For people like us, the imperial examination is a key way to change the trajectory of life. We all look forward to being named on the gold list and stepping into the imperial examination." Enter officialdom and realize your grand ambitions.”

"It's a pity that my health is not good. Not to mention becoming a scholar through the imperial examination, I will still have to support you, Ayu, in the future!"

Gu Yu: "..."

Look at what Han Yili said, it’s a bit Versailles!

People like him who come from a famous family need to pass the imperial examination to enter the official career. So for those poor peasant children who have great ambitions and study classic history books and poetry and songs day and night in order to realize their ambitions, they want to take the imperial examination. Isn’t the road more difficult?
Gu Yu pinched Han Yili's nose and said, "We and I are one and the same, regardless of each other. It is only natural that we should support you."

Hearing this, Han Yili's face burst into a happy smile, and her originally smiling eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

Unfortunately, before the couple could stay together for a moment longer, a series of solemn and continuous bells suddenly rang.

The sudden change made Han Yili stand up from his seat suddenly and said, "No! Something big happened in the palace."

It was also the first time for Gu Yu to hear such a heavy and sad sound.

But she was not stupid. Combined with Han Yili's frightened look at this moment, she could guess that someone in the palace must have died without much thinking.

The death of a big boss in the palace doesn't matter much to ordinary people, but the bells are still ringing.

This is obviously the bell that represents the death of the emperor.

The emperor's death was of great significance and far-reaching influence, and was usually honored as "Da Xing".

As for the number of bells ringing and related etiquette details, they will show diversified characteristics depending on the dynasty, regional differences, cultural background and other factors.

Han Yili ordered Qiuyue in a hurry, "Qiuyue, take good care of Congcong and the others at home!" Then she turned around and told her nanny: "Nanny, you lead the others. People tidy up their homes and have all their servants wear simple and elegant clothes.”

Then, he said urgently to the housekeeper who rushed to the backyard: "Immediately arrange for personnel to guard the door. No matter who comes to visit, no one is allowed to open the door. If anyone dares to break in by force, no mercy will be given and he will be punished on the spot."

The death of the emperor was not only a top priority in the court.

It is an important event closely related to the entire country. No matter how absurd and unruly the emperor's behavior was when he was alive, he should be treated with due respect and courtesy after his death.

Gu Yuzheng and Han Yili walked quickly to the front yard together. Gu Wu and others, who had just fallen asleep, were awakened by the sudden sound of a bell.

When he saw the two of them in such a hurry, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Yu'er, what happened outside?"

In the eyes of outsiders, the Gu family is as ordinary as a grain of sand in the sea, insignificant and does not attract much attention and attention.
