Netherspan Great Saint

After several days on the way back to Beijing, Gu Cheng finally stabilized his emotions.

Gu Cheng has no feelings about this situation, he has nothing to want to completely kill the’Gu Cheng’ of this life, so as not to affect his various thoughts.

This is the first time for Gu Cheng, but it should be the last.

Originally, I had occupied someone’s body and could have a chance to live again. Certain causes and effects would naturally have to be carried by myself.

After seeing Gu Cheng’s mood stabilized, Li Xiaozhun dared to talk to Gu Cheng, and also told him some things that he needs to pay attention to as the leader of the Eastern Region.

In fact, it is not a good time for Gu Cheng to take over the leadership of the Eastern Region at this time, because the atmosphere in the capital is very tense and busy.

In another three months, Dagan’s ancestor worship ceremony will be held every four years. Ceremony is very important, and there is no room for any difference. Therefore, during this period, the capital is full of turmoil, Jing Yesi The four domains ruled the entire capital, so this period is also the busiest time.

It can be said that this is a great challenge for Gu Cheng as a new official.

Before the ancestor worship ceremony, the inside of the capital was also rising winds, scudding clouds, several princes and all influence open strife and veiled struggles were also constant. Among them, there is the place where the ancestor worship ceremony reads the sacrifices. Dispute.

In Dagan’s ancestor worship ceremony, there is a process that requires the prince’s future generations to read the sacrificial texts to the ancestors, to show that the current Dagan country is peaceful and peaceful, mountains and rivers are still there, and the weather is smooth. Watching oneself guard the country and not ashamed of the ancestors.

Usually, the person who reads the sacrificial text is the prince. Even if the current emperor does not like the prince, he is still required to come according to the rules.

But whoever thought that the prince seemed to have done something this time, and angered the current emperor, so as early as a month ago, the emperor ordered that this time the ancestor worship ceremony reads the ceremonial ceremonial person to change.

The appearance of such a face immediately caused many princes to fight for it, but this position is very particular. The age of the prince, the birth date and even the birth date of the mother concubine must meet the requirements. So in the end, only three people met the requirements.

These three people are Second Prince Li Xiaoming, Third Prince Li Xiaoxuan and Fourth Prince Li Xiaowu.

The fiercest competition among them is Li Xiaoming and Li Xiaowu. These two until now are rivals and have fought countless times.

As for Third Prince Li Xiaoxuan’s strength is slightly weaker, although his mother and concubine are also of honorable background, they are similar to Gu Cheng’s loyal and valorous princes. There is only one background, without the slightest influence. Can’t help him much.

So Li Xiaoxuan has been very close to Jianghu people since he was a child, and he even once worshipped a daoist in Baiyunguan as his teacher.

But the rivers and lakes are just rivers and lakes after all, and their influence on the Imperial Court is relatively weak. He consciously couldn’t compete with the two of them, and has already identified the position of the substitute for the sacrifice.

The so-called substitute means that the prince stands behind the prince as a substitute when he recites the sacrifice.

Because jamming is not allowed to be interrupted when reciting the sacrificial text, once jammed, another prince must read it again.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn’t exist. On such a serious and serious occasion, no prince or prince will let themselves get stuck and interrupted, and they all want to memorize the sacrifice.

So this position basically has no chance to recite the sacrificial text, but because it stands behind the prince reciting the sacrificial text, and beside the emperor, it is also an extremely showy position. It is also an opportunity to shine in this state where the heir is still unclear.

On the way, Li Xiaozhun told Gu Cheng a lot about the secrets of the imperial family battle within Dagan. He is the prince and naturally knows all these things.

Gu Cheng, the leader of the Eastern Region, speaking of which is considered to be a low power, directly controlling a quarter of the capital, second only to the town solicitor, even better than some remote and barren counties. Make it even more prestigious.

But the same position is also very troublesome. Not only do you have to face all kinds of troublesome scenes when the princes are fighting for power, but also the homes of the rich in their own jurisdictions, Wang Sun Guizhou, Civilian Court Officials, etc. are countless. It feels even more tricky when facing them.

Gu Cheng and Li Xiaozhun talked all the way, but the speed was not too slow. They went straight to the capital and it took only a month.

Looking at the huge black city wall of Dagan Jingcheng, Gu Cheng took a deep breath.

When he was forced to leave the capital, he said he would come back.

Now he has finally returned in more than two years now, and he has returned with the position of the leader of Jing Yesi’s Eastern Region, but at this time, there is no surging emotion in his heart.

put out a long breath, Gu Cheng said: “Go into the city.”

Li Xiaozhun nodded and said: “I will report the matter to the fourth brother first, and then I will look for it. You.”

Get off the horse and enter the city. The city gate of the capital is very huge. On both sides of the city gate are engraved with a black dragon hovering upwards, like a giant beast’s mouth, swallowing pedestrians.

Gu Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the city gate. He came to the capital at this time. It is not certain who swallowed whom.

…………

In Zhongyonghou’s Mansion, above the main seat of the lobby sits a middle age person with an upright, elegant and handsome appearance. He is Gu Cheng’s second uncle Gu Yuanzhong , I used to be a general in Xijiang, but now I am transferred back to the Guard Army in the capital to join the army. Although it is only a position for handling chores, there is no military power or much real power, but it is much better than the previous frontier generals. Up.

Gu’s genes are pretty good. Both Gu Cheng and his younger brother Gu Zheng look good, as is his second uncle.

At this time, Gu Zheng told Zhang Clan frowns saying: “I heard that you blocked the letter from your mother to Gu Cheng? If you do this, if you are known by outsiders, you must point fingers to my Gu family and say My second uncle’s work is too much, even my grandma wants to see grandson before her death.”

Zhang Clan’s eyebrows were cold, and he said sharply: “pointing fingers? Are pointing fingers important? Or is the title of Zheng’er important?

Didn’t expect to let Gu Cheng leave the Hou Mansion at the beginning, it turned out to be let the tiger returns to the mountains. Now he has a foundation in Jing Ye Si, just in case He came back and reported to the Imperial Court to inherit the title. Can you stop it?”

Gu Yuanzhong took a sip of tea, snorted and said: “Women’s opinion! To be honest, let’s The title of the Valiant Marquis has been passed down for three generations and it is completely useless. It is just a short title. It sounds good, but in fact it’s not a fart.

I will do my best to build the country by force, as long as you can do it. With the results, there are still fewer people who have honored the ministers?

For my husband, I seized the opportunity before and attached to the Third Prince Yan Wang, and then I was transferred to the Guard army.

Third Prince is a popular candidate for the throne. In the future, if the Third Prince can make it to the big treasure, what is the trifling position as a short marquis? Generals are nothing difficult!”

Zhang Clan twitched His lips said: “What is proud of? It’s not because Zheng’er worshipped Baiyun Guan. He performed well in Baiyun Guan and gained a reputation and was known by the Third Prince. Only then can Third Prince notice you when he visits Western Xinjiang. /p>

If it weren’t for me to contact my elder brother to build a bridge and let Jiangnan Shenxiao Pilitang enter Beijing to support the Third Prince, how would the Third Prince find you useful?

What else do you think about Great General? Let’s talk about the title of the Marquis.”

Gu Cheng, the Third Uncle Gu Yuanzhong looks good, but in fact, it is not good to say that he is a idiot.

The position of Xijiang Senate was obtained by the merits of Gu Cheng’s father after his death in battle.

This time, his ability to be transferred back to the Guard army actually has nothing to do with his own ability.

Third Prince has a close relationship with Baiyun Guan. Because once worshipped Baiyun Guan because daoist was a teacher, Baiyun Guan can be said to support the Third Prince by default.

Gu Zhengbai was noticed by the Third Prince because of his outstanding performance after entering the Baiyun Temple. When he went to inspect the garrison in Xijiang, he discovered that Gu Zheng’s father was actually in Xijiang, so he was equivalent to yes For the sake of saving money, his father was transferred to the Guard Army as a spare job.

And Zhang Clan’s elder brother joined the Great Sect of Jiangnan Great Sect. Gu Yuanzhong used Zhang Clan’s elder brother to thread a needle in it and let Jiangnan’s Divine Thunder Hall and Third Prince join forces. At this critical moment, sending people to Beijing to help the Third Prince, this equivalent to made a great contribution.

Under this series of coincidences, Third Prince actually felt that Gu Yuanzhong, although his own strength was not very good, but he was all-rounded and exquisite, he was still a little clever, so he earned it under his command. , Becoming one of the confidants, the status can be said to be instant Heaven and Earth turning upside down.

At this time, Gu Yuanzhong just wanted to argue, Gu Zheng walked in from outside and said: “Father, mother, Senior Brother Liu from Shenxiao Pilitang is here, saying that he wants to discuss the other recent Shenxiao Pilitang People’s entry into Beijing.

There is no need to trouble your Royal Highness with these trivial matters. I can just wait for my own help to arrange.”

Compared with two years ago. Already one head tall, wearing a snow-white daoist robe, looks handsome, and two points similar to Gu Cheng.

Gu Yuanzhong hearing this said: “Hurry up and invite people in. Of course this little thing is not a problem.”

Soon a young man wearing a golden robe People walked in and said with a smile: “My Shenxiao Pilitang first arrived, and there is no real estate in the capital, so I have to trouble General Gu’s family to help arrange it.”

The Senior Brother Liu said. General Gu shouted that Gu Yuanzhong was grinning. He quickly said: “What general is just a member of the army. It can’t be taken seriously.”

“Why not? Now General Gu’s father and son are doing it for His Royal Highness Yan works, once His Royal Highness Yan arrives at the Dabao in the future, is not a general with no difficulty?”

Gu Yuanzhong was proud of his heart, but he gave Senior Brother Liu with a reserved face. Let in, discuss some arrangements for the people from Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall to enter Beijing.
