The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 45: The Meaning of Life

Regarding the matter of Guo Nuan assisting Kang Wan in escaping from the official chase, Yan Ruoshui once visited Shengping in the Princess Mansion as a private person.

Yan Ruoshui and Shengping have a good personal relationship, one is the daughter of a courtier and the other is the daughter of the royal family, they have known each other since childhood, and the relationship is very close, they can be regarded as girlfriends.

Yan Ruoshui asked about Guo Nuan driving out of the East Gate that night in a carriage. Shengping had heard about the assassination of Si Qing in the capital that night. The assassin was the daughter of An Lushan. It happened that Guo Nuan did not return that night. The next morning, she was sent back to the Princess Mansion by the masked man Kang Wan. The thoughtful Shengping quickly guessed Yan Ruoshui's intentions.

Knowing that Yan Ruoshui valued the personal relationship between the two of them and was unwilling to escalate the situation to add to Guo Nuan's cover-up crime, Shengping immediately helped Guo Nuan round up a lie.

Shengping told Yan Ruoshui without blushing that he and his son-in-law Guo Nuan went out of the East City Gate that night. They planned to go on a field trip. With the idea of ​​going out low-key, they lied to the city guard and wanted to pretend When going out as an ordinary person, it happened that there was an assassination incident in the imperial city that night, and the city gate was interrogated fiercely, so Guo Nuan was not allowed to reveal his identity. There are different opinions.It was normal to arouse suspicion, so much so that the officials thought that Guo Nuan had harbored a suspicious person out of the city in the carriage.

After leaving the East City Gate, I plan to take advantage of the moonlight to climb Zhongnan Mountain in the eastern suburbs, and I plan to get to the top of the mountain early to watch the sunrise.That night, Guo Nuan got a little drunk and overturned the car while driving on the post road, but luckily the two of them were safe and sound. There was an accident on the road, and they lost interest in playing, and then returned to the Princess Mansion.

"Sister Shengping's words, are they true?"

Yan Ruoshui looked at Shengping indifferently, with a hint of doubt in his words.

"Well, we have known each other for so long, our sisters have always been frank and sincere, how could I lie, sister Yan, what do you say?"

Shengping smiled lightly, speaking calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, sister, don't blame me for asking a few more questions."

Yan Ruoshui didn't intend to delve into it any further, and after that, she gently revealed the matter about Guo Nuan's protection of Kang Wan.

It is said that after Kang Wan failed to assassinate Yan Zhuang in the Qinglou Xinyilou, the Jingzhao Mansion sent a large number of yamen servants to arrest Kang Wan and expanded the search area to a radius of [-] miles around the capital, but five days later, there was still no trace of the assassin.

In the past six months, with regard to Kang Wan and her accomplices, the confidant generals remaining after An Lushan's defeat, they have been lurking in Chang'an, and have assassinated four of them who had worked under An Lushan's subordinates, and then they As for the core generals of Jiang Tang, Yan Zhuang was also one of their assassination targets.

It is said that Kang Wan's accomplices died in several cases of assassinating the rebel generals who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and only Kang Wan, a remnant of Anlu Mountain, was left.

Regarding the arrest of Kang Wan, the last remnant of the Anlu Mountain Party, the Jingzhao Mansion has been handling this case, and it has been pending, and it has been delayed again and again. This news is good for Guo Nuan.

To be honest, Guo Nuan really hoped that Kang Wan could escape as far away as possible. It would be best if she never returned to the capital, drifted to a foreign land, let go of the idea of ​​avenging her father, and found a place to live a normal life .

An Lushan's death was the result of the plan of the military adviser Yan Zhuang and his eldest son An Qingxu in a political seizure of power.

Not long after An Qingxu seized power from his father, the rebel army under his command was defeated steadily by Guo Ziyi's King Qin's army, and Li Tang was restored. An Qingxu, the leader, had no choice but to commit suicide.

After the Anshi Rebellion ended, Li Zhuer was also assassinated by An Lushan's remaining henchmen.Of those who killed one of An Lushan's masterminds, only Yan Zhuang who surrendered to the Li and Tang courts remained alive.

"With her tenacious and persistent temperament, she will definitely not give up on Yan Zhuang's assassination idea."

Whenever Guo Nuan thought of this, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing secretly.

After the encounter with Kang Wan, after Guo Nuan returned to the princess mansion, life gradually returned to calm.There were only ten days before the imperial examination, and Guo Nuan hadn't studied hard, and he knew that a skinny person couldn't become a fat person with one bite.

Occasionally, he would go to the study to accompany Pu Shangxuan, who was studying hard, to feel the atmosphere of reviewing, and to understand the common sense issues that should be paid attention to in the imperial examination. Playing Xiao, playing chess with Luo Yuan and Ah Fu.

Sometimes, Shengping would also intentionally ask Guo Nuan to go out for a walk in the valley and grassland near the mansion to cultivate his feelings.

What about the relationship between the two now?Guo Nuan felt that it was a feeling of respecting each other as a guest, and they followed the friendly etiquette in their behavior, and the couple spoke politely.

Most of the time, when Guo Nuan is walking with Shengping in the countryside, he likes to babble about some strange stories from his previous life, similar to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Emperor's New Clothes, and One Thousand and One Nights.Every time he finished telling a fairy tale, Shengping always enthusiastically asked him to tell another one.

"Well, I didn't expect that the son-in-law's mind... would contain so many strange and interesting stories."

Shengping has always been surprised by Guo Nuan's endless fairy tales. She feels that Guo Nuan's mind is like a treasure house. Every time he opens a door, his eyes are full of treasures. Before he can rejoice, there is another door hidden in the room behind the door. Opening one door after another, piles of gold, silver, jewels, gems and pearls are inexhaustible.

Also, Guo Nuan would occasionally have a whim, and would describe to Shengping an aircraft that could take off like a bird, similar to a weird thing made of a hanging basket and a big balloon.

Guo Nuan said that one day he would find suitable materials, and when he had free time, he would make a hot air balloon, and then take Shengping's wife to float over Chang'an City, and the two of them went to see the golden glazed tiles on the majestic palace.Every time this was mentioned, Shengping, who was listening attentively, would smile faintly.

As for the modern invention of hot air balloons, the clever Shengping quickly understood after Guo Nuan briefly explained its flight principle.

"Hehe, isn't this an extra-large Kongming lantern, made of tissue paper and bamboo strips, and a sky lantern for praying during the Lantern Festival. Can it carry such a heavy person, and there are still two people?"

However, looking at Shengping, he doubted whether this kind of headlight could carry people. Guo Nuan laughed. He confidently said that people can be carried to the sky. As long as the liquid fuel found is suitable and the balloon and basket are big enough , Even if Ah Fu, Luo Yuan, Park Shangxuan and a fat pig are added, there is no problem. . .

As for the relationship, it takes time to develop slowly.At the beginning of a political marriage, the parents hurriedly married their children into a couple when they were not familiar with each other.

Guo Nuan comes from the space of modern society, advocating freedom of love and freedom of marriage.Now Mao Maoran found a wife for him without his consent. Not to mention that Guo Nuan couldn't get used to it for a while, Shengping, who was originally born in the honor of the royal family, naturally would not immediately agree with her husband according to her arrogant temperament. There is no way to talk about feelings.

But after a long time, the two of them have been together for a long time, and they will gradually develop feelings. Guo Nuan and Shengping also feel the same in their hearts.

Maybe the two of them were destined not to have a vigorous love affair, and most of the feudal marriages entered directly.Now that the done deal has become a reality, as the two sides gradually get to know each other, their conflicting psychology will become much more indifferent.

In the future, let nature take its course, and when the relationship is established, it will be a matter of course. Guo Nuan and Shengping will live, eat, and sleep together like ordinary couples, and then give birth to a few dolls, raise them, and teach them to read and read. , Four Books and Five Classics, etc., and then the two of them slowly watched a large group of their children grow up. They either married a wife and started a family, or married and found a good husband.

When you get old, you will become a hunched old man with a cane, or an old woman with missing teeth, who can even speak freely. Maybe life is like this. Isn't this a kind of ordinary happiness? . . .

"Let's go, let's sit on the green grass on the river bank over there!"

Guo Nuan looked at the spring scenery on the river bank in front of her, feeling relaxed and joyful, she naturally picked up Shengping's catkins, and the two of them strolled towards the river. . .
