Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 687 Being Rebuked

Chapter 687 Being Rebuked

Gu Jin looked at his daughter with open eyes, quietly thinking about her problem.

That's right, he really didn't dare to think about this problem before, but now, how could he not think about it again?

"Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This sentence is suitable no matter where it is used. Even in the battle for the reserve position, there is not much sense of disobedience; Prince Zhaowen is gentle and talented. Such a If a person sits on the throne of the monarch, it will be a blessing for the people of Daliang; however, this does not mean that Prince Zhaowen is perfect. In the past 20 years, the frontier has been constantly fighting. Although they are all small disputes, the impact of this cannot be ignored. Although the current emperor does not have much ability to govern the world, but during his ten years in power, people around Daliang None of the major barbarian tribes dared to provoke trouble easily, but such achievements cannot be easily obliterated."

Gu Yanxi understood the meaning of his father's words, and said: "Father, your understanding is that even if the current emperor ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor with extraordinary means, he has made contributions to the country and the people of Daliang. We can't ignore his sharp achievements, yes no?"

Gu Jin nodded, agreeing with Gu Yanxi's statement: "Jiaojiao, I can understand why you would ask this question about your father, you must know how the emperor ascended to the throne back then, and you also know the unbearable weapons he used. Means. That’s right, the Holy One killed his own brother and forced his own father to sit on the Dragon Throne. But since ancient times, whoever has become the Ninth Five-Year Lord has not climbed step by step on the bones The most poisonous poison in the world is power, and almost no one can refuse the temptation of power; I rebuke the emperor for his unbearable behavior in my heart, but Jiaojiao, you have to understand that the struggle for power has always been cruel Yes, the blood and sacrifices of innocent people are often like the red wall outside the palace city. When it was first painted, it was very dazzling, but after watching it for a long time, I got used to it. So, I will not deny it The current emperor is a cruel and ruthless person, but I will also not deny his careful management of the court inside and outside the court over the years; everyone will have a choice in their hearts. In this position, then he should also be prepared in his heart, preparing for someone who will stand up one day in the future and expose everything he has done in the past to the world."

Hearing his father's emotional words, Gu Yanxi didn't speak again for a long time, until he let out a soft sigh in his heart, and then quietly said: "Father, you are right, in the final analysis, all these things are just a choice. It's just a question. More than ten years ago, since the current emperor chose to make himself a traitor, now he must pay the price for his original choice. Just like our current choice, my father listened to what I said and chose at this time Let grandfather retire, then no matter what happens in the capital in the future, the entire Gu family will keep a low profile, and we must not stand up and advance rashly because of responsibilities and titles like before."

Gu Jin looked at her daughter who was living more and more transparently, and agreed with her, saying: "Jiaojiao, don't worry, as a father, I know how to choose to benefit the Gu family, and I also know what to do to protect our family. As a father, I just have regrets in my heart."

Hearing this sound of regret, Gu Yanxi froze on the spot, but before she could speak again, the mother who appeared with the breakfast gave her husband who was talking to her daughter a hard look, and at the same time hummed coldly: "You What nonsense are you talking to your daughter? You have regrets in your heart, what are your regrets? You want to take our whole family to go on an adventure with you and go to death, so you don’t regret it? "

Hearing her mother's voice suddenly, Gu Yanxi quickly stood up and looked towards her mother. Seeing that the maids were still following behind her mother, she resisted not speaking for a while, and after helping her mother set up the meals, she sat down beside her mother, being obedient Soft as ever.

As for Gu Jin, he didn't expect his wife to hear what he said with his daughter, and he was silenced on the spot. It wasn't until there were only three of them left in the flower hall that he lowered his voice and said to his wife: " Yixiang, how many times have I told you that this kind of talk can't be said in front of the servant girl. You should know what's going on in the capital these days, and if someone listens to our conversation, spread it out , I’m afraid it will bring disaster to the whole family.”

Lin put a crab roe bun on the porcelain plate in front of Gu Yanxi, still glanced at her husband angrily, and said, "You also know that there are some things that should not be said nonsense? If that's the case, then why do you talk nonsense with Jiaojiao? "

Gu Jin didn't understand, and immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at his wife: "When did I talk nonsense with Jiaojiao?"

"You still don't admit it?" Lin looked at her husband unhappily: "I heard it with my own ears just now. You said that you have regrets in your heart. We can guess what your regrets are without saying it. It's true. Guan Dang was stupid, and began to become more and more stubborn. Don't you know how the one sitting on the dragon chair got the world? He forced his father to death, and killed his brother and his family. Stepping on the flesh and blood of your loved ones to stand firm, and now being sought by your own nephew, that is what he deserves. Why do you, a subject, want to get involved in this dispute and become the victim of those superiors? Don't think why you are different from me Say, I don’t know anything. What Jiaojiao said to you and me yesterday was all for the good of this family and for you. If you can really understand Jiaojiao’s painstaking efforts, you shouldn’t treat this child Saying something like regret makes this child feel guilty towards you in his heart; I have never seen a father like you, who does not reflect on his own behavior, but blames his own child a little bit, Gu Jin, let me tell you, you If you dare to say these things secretly in the future to make Jiaojiao sad, then don't blame me for making trouble with you in the mansion."

Seeing his wife mercilessly dismantling his words, Gu Jin couldn't hold back his face on the spot, but then realized that what he said just now was indeed a little out of line, so he turned his head to look at Gu Yanxi, and comforted him: "Jiaojiao, that's not what being a father means. , as a father, I never thought of blaming you, nor did I think of making you feel guilty; as my father, I know that your sincere words yesterday were all for this family, so don't let your father's words be misunderstood, you know? ?”

Gu Yanxi looked at the crab roe buns on the porcelain plate in front of him, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and put a bun for his father on the porcelain plate in front of him, and said, "What is Daddy thinking in his heart? Don't understand? Dad, don't worry, I won't get it wrong. Mother, don't wrong Dad, what he said just now was just chatting with me, there is really no other meaning, and Dad just now He also told me that he had already figured it out and agreed to his grandfather resigning from office. As long as his grandfather resigned from his position as a grand teacher, Gu's mansion would no longer be so eye-catching in the capital. Whatever happened, I think the Gu family will not be too implicated."

When Lin heard what Gu Yanxi said, she glanced at her husband, and asked without curiosity: "Did you really say that to Jiaojiao? Did you agree to let your father resign?"

"Even you have said that Jiaojiao's earnest words are for the good of our family. As the head of the family, I naturally want to be the person in charge of this family. Of course I will not push this family into the fire pit." , Gu Jin looked at his wife quite aggrieved: "Yixiang, you really misunderstood me. To me, my father, you, Jiaojiao and Chao'er are the most important people to me. It is only by protecting you." It is my greatest responsibility, and I will never forget this until I die.”

Seeing that her husband finally said a few words that made people feel at ease, Mrs. Lin took the initiative to serve her husband a bowl of millet porridge, brought it to him, and said, "That's plausible, but what you said just now is true. Yes, it's not appropriate; I don't understand the loyalty between you monarchs and ministers, but I also value etiquette and human relations. A person who can even kill his own father and elder brother for the sake of power, even if he has a big brother Merit, it is also impossible to erase the mistakes he made in the past. My husband has been worried about the court situation for half a month, and even came back late at night. I worked so hard, but I was thinking of countermeasures for the mistakes the emperor made back then. If you want me to say, he has sat on the throne for so many years, and he has enjoyed the honor and wealth that he should have enjoyed. Now that someone has stood up to collect debts from him, then he should make a good atonement. How can there be death? The reason why you have been reluctant to let go of things that don’t belong to you?”

Gu Yanxi listened to his mother's words in surprise, and immediately judged that his father might have told his mother what happened in the court, otherwise how could his mother know so much.

Gu Jin glanced at Gu Yanxi worriedly, and immediately stopped Lin Shi: "You woman, why are you more and more unguarded, talking nonsense in front of the child, you are not afraid of your own If Jiaojiao listens to her words, will she scare this child?!"

Lin looked at her daughter in a daze, and said: "Is our Jiaojiao the kind of person who is frightened by a few words? You underestimate your child too much. Besides, Jiaojiao yesterday The words she said also prove that she already knows something. Since we all know it, we are not afraid to pierce this layer of window paper. Besides, there are only our family in this flower hall now, isn't it? Are you really afraid that our conversation will be listened to by irrelevant people? You, the older you get, the more timid you become, and the more you live, the more you go back."
