The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

After Guo Nuan bid farewell to Yan Zhenqing, it was already the tip of the willow on the moon, it was very late.Guo Nuan was exhausted all day, and her walk was a bit wobbly. Just after she walked out of the Yan Mansion, Guo Nuan just happened to meet the Princess Mansion and went to the city to find her servant.

It turned out that Guo Nuan wandered around the city without telling Shengping, which made her very worried.Guo Nuan finally thought of going back home.

Sitting in his family's carriage, Guo Nuan chatted with the coachman for a while in the carriage, it turned out that the mansion had already had distinguished guests.Who is this distinguished guest?Guo Nuan was a little surprised when the coachman said who he was.

It is said that when Guo Nuan was running around in the city, in the afternoon, Crown Prince Li Shi visited the mansion of his sister, Princess Shengping, with a gloomy face.

Li Shi's mood was gloomy, and it showed on his face.The servants in the mansion were a little trembling.But the crown prince has a prominent status, so who would dare to ask him why he is in a bad mood? Hearing that the crown prince came to discuss with his son-in-law, his younger sister Shengping hurriedly sent a dozen servants into the city to look for him.

During this delay, Shengping drank cups of tea with brother Li Shi who didn't say a word, but he also kept silent and told his sister to retreat temporarily, while the others sat in the living room in the mansion and waited.

Guo Nuan knew that Li Shi, a busy man, had waited for him all afternoon. Hearing the coachman's tone, the prince seemed to have something important to do.

After Guo Nuan heard it, he immediately asked the coachman to speed up the carriage and headed straight to the Princess Mansion while it was dark.It is estimated that Li Shi is still waiting for him at home at this moment.

About half an hour later, when it was already cold in the middle of the night, Guo Nuan walked into the reception living room surrounded by a group of eager servants in the hazy night.

It is said that when Guo Nuan arrived, Prince Li Shi had already drunk the seventh cup of tea.Guo Nuan strode into the living room.When Li Shi understood Guo Nuan, he immediately stood up shyly from his chair.

"Why come back so late, I have urgent business with you." Although Li Shi still had a calm expression on his face, Guo Nuan knew that there was still some difference between him and his usual calmness.It is said that when Li Shi was flustered, his brows would twitch a little and wrinkle into fine lines.

"Well, I just entered the city and was busy with some things." Guo Nuan wondered whether he should discuss with Li Shi about cheating in the scientific examination, and he said vaguely when he hesitated.

"Hmph, I heard that the heavenly father summoned you and the examiner to participate in the ranking of the tribute students in the exam?" Li Shi was a little surprised to receive the news about this matter.It seemed that he was very unhappy.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Guo Nuan tested Li Shi's tone.

Li Shi walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, bowing his head in silence for a moment.Except for Guo Nuan and Li Shi, the servants in the hall were all retreated.

"I heard that the first-class Gongsheng students are candidates for Qiao's?" Li Shi slowly took a breath of air. When he received the news this morning, he felt a little upset in his stomach.Since the prince concealed his identity to take the imperial examination for tribute students, in order to conceal his own affairs, Li Shi did not go to the examination institute to inquire about the ranking results of the examination.

However, Li Shi is still very proud of his literary talent and knowledge. It is said that he is confident that he has been hiding in the deep palace for more than ten years, surrounded by the most top teachers in the country. How can he say that he has the best education and guidance resources? The crown prince is still very hopeful to be a blockbuster and show his edge in the scientific examination.

On the one hand, the extreme self-confidence has created extra attention, but it is actually the uncertainty, fear and tension deep in the subconscious.If the Crown Prince had learned some insider information about the scientific expedition, the information he received did not seem to be very good to him, so it is normal for him to be abnormal.

"Hehe, the crown prince is overthinking. At the last moment when the scientific examination has not yet been published, who knows who will get the honor of No. 1 Gongsheng."

Yes, Guo Nuan knew that Daizong had confirmed Qiao Yun as the No. The uproar in Chang'an's political arena, it seems that all officials will be in danger.Maybe it will implicate the people around me, even myself.Involuntarily, the complex contradictions of the parties will expand infinitely whenever there is an opportunity, and everyone has a share in the bad luck.

Guo Nuan's sloppy answer made Li Shi very impatient. This was the first time he showed a gaffe in front of Guo Nuan.Although growing up in the court, people will become old-fashioned and serious, but for those who are angry and not visible, no matter how good the crown prince learns this method, they are still lacking in tempering.

Guo Nuan knew that the old guy Yuan Zai was a smiling tiger, and when things pissed him off, the angrier he was, the brighter his smile would be, as if he was a brother with the person who offended him. .As soon as he turned around, he stabbed Yuan Zai with a gloomy face twice behind his back.And Guo Nuan provoked Yuan Zai a few times, and made him jump a few times.However, Yuan Zai was more excited and fierce on the outside, but when he turned around, the old fox thought carefully and calculated, and finally greeted the opponent with a smile, completely forgetting that the opponent provoked him a quarter of an hour ago.

For all the above, Guo Nuan knew that in the imperial court, the No. 1 person who could control emotions freely was second to none as the old man of Yuan Zai.

Guo Nuan sighed in her heart, the prince is still too immature, and it is easy to expose his shortcomings.If you are too entangled in the things you care about, you will often be turned around by villains with malicious intentions.Although Guo Nuan is only 23 or [-] years old in Datang, similar to the prince Li Shi, and both are young people, it seems that he has no qualifications to rely on the old to sell the old.

When Guo Nuan is a married 30-year-old man who traveled from modern times, at least he has experienced more waves of sophistication, and his actual psychological age is older than Li Shi, and he is much more stable and mature.

"How do you know that the emperor wants to designate a candidate from the Qiao family as No. 1? Where did the news come from?" Guo Nuan asked rhetorically.

"Of course the prince asked Cui Youfu when he met Cui Youfu in the morning, but he only told such a vague inside story and then hurried away."

Li Shi remembered that when he met Cui Youfu in the palace in the morning, he finally forced him to ask, and this straight-minded courtier hesitated to say this sentence.

Trader Joe's?Li Shi's mood suddenly became gloomy.Why not the Wang family? It is the Wang family that Li used for anonymous reference when appropriate.Before the exam, he was determined to get No. 1. Now that Mrs. Qiao is jumping in front of him, it is not because of the arrogance of the royal family. He is as disgusting as if he ate a fly.He can't wait to see how divine this Qiao family is who can surpass him and get No.1 in the exam.

Guo Nuan redefines his understanding of Crown Prince Li Shi during this night.This is a new discovery, and it is also the first time for Li Shi, who is calm and calm, to show his shortcomings in front of him.

Guo Nuan felt that the distance between Li Shi and herself suddenly became far away.Yes, although I have always been close to Li Shi, sometimes I almost forget that he is the future heir of the empire.

But if a belief suddenly pops up in Guo Nuan's mind, it will keep echoing in his mind, ringing the alarm bell.Don't forget that he is the crown prince, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you, Guo Nuan, are his ministers who will control life and death in the future.In just one thought, one can fall from a bright career prospect like heaven to a dark guillotine in hell.

Now the prince Li Shi unintentionally reveals the darkness of his narrow stomach in front of Guo Nuan. When the highest authority has this, it is inevitable that emotional impulse will shake the rationality, and maybe the massacre will lead to such a tragedy.

This thought flashed through Guo Nuan for a moment, he couldn't help but lost his mind in shock, looked at the prince who was a few steps away, and couldn't help taking two steps back, widening the distance between the two.This night, Guo Nuan had an additional layer of estrangement for the prince from then on.Perhaps taking Guo Nuan's own psychological words, it is the deep uneasy wariness of the prince.

In other words, who is willing to accompany and talk, who is willing to follow a king who is not broad-minded.

"Do you know, Qiao's test paper, I don't believe that his level is better than the prince's, never." After the prince finished speaking, he walked out of the princess mansion without looking back, and his figure disappeared into the endless darkness.

Guo Nuan stood in the living room, silently standing alone.He was pensive, silent, even if Shengping had been waiting for him outside the door for a long time, he didn't know it.

Dui and the prince spent more than half of the time waiting just to say such seemingly meaningless words to Guo Nuan.In fact, Guo Nuan could still understand Li Shi's intentions.

Li Shi's pretentiousness is not only due to his superiority of being born in the royal family, but also his genuine literary talent and knowledge. However, due to his special status, he has never had the opportunity to show it on the platform.

Now that I have concealed my identity to participate in the imperial examination, and I cannot reveal to the public that I have participated in the imperial examination, now I know that No. 1 is not the one I am determined to win.Of course he would be outraged by his arrogance.After much deliberation, only an insider like Guo Nuan can understand from his perspective.It was Guo Nuan who cheated and helped him sneak into the examination room.So what I said to Guo Nuan this night was just to express my aggrievedness that I didn't get No.1, it's just that simple.Simplicity is for others like Guo Nuan, but it is extremely important for Li Shi.

"Hehe, it's useless to think too much, go back to sleep, compared to the next few years, or more than ten years later, tomorrow's events are imminent."

Guo Nuan murmured something to himself, he walked out of the hall with his head down and distracted, he didn't even notice that Shengping was outside the door.

That's right, brother Huang waited for Guo Nuan in the afternoon until late at night, then the son-in-law and elder brother had a secret conversation in the living room for a while, and finally the elder brother walked away indifferently without even saying hello to his sister.

Shengping has never understood the abnormal behavior of the emperor's brother, but now after the dialogue with the emperor's brother, his son-in-law has become a little weird.

Back in the dormitory, Guo Nuan and Shengping put on their clothes and went to sleep. Since Guo Nuan had been running around all day, she fell asleep with the quilt covering her head.

Shengping didn't know if the son-in-law was too tired and fell asleep as soon as he went to bed, or if he was thinking in silence.But as a woman, it's better not to ask too much about the man in charge.

After coaxing the naughty little daughter, Guo Xiang also fell asleep, and Shengping gradually fell asleep while lying on his pillow in bewilderment.
