reborn monarch

Deeper and heavier.

Emperor Qiyuan sent someone to prepare a high bed for Gu Lan, but Gu Lan did not enter the wing room. He sat on the stone steps in front of the lobby, facing the place where Prince Li and the cook both died. It was because the palace was going to be demolished tomorrow, it wasn't clean enough, and there was still a slight smell of blood in the air.

He remembered many past events.

The disgust and neglect of the Ninth Prince, the loyalty of the old servant, and the mother who had never met, exchanged her life for his life.

Prince Li reminded him over and over again, saying that he should not have been born, that he was a bastard that no one expected, that he was the lone star of the heavenly evil that suppressed people, that he crushed his mother to death, and that he also crushed the ninth prince.

The servant's wolf-like eyes looked fierce, as if he wanted to eat him alive. The old servant who took care of him disappeared one day, and his anger and sadness were only exchanged for ridicule. No one listened to him, no one looked at him, no one care.

So, he learned to endure, learned to hate, and learned to trade silence for survival.

It was Uncle Huang who took him away from here. Uncle Huang's teaching and embrace let him know what is warmth and what is love.

He is not the lone star of the devil, he is not a bastard that no one expects.

Gu Lan took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

There is nothing to be afraid of, he believes that he will not disappoint the emperor.Now, sitting here, his heart is very peaceful, and he is also satisfied with his tranquility.

"Boom-"

Something heavy appeared to have landed in the backyard.

Gu Lan frowned, gripped the floor brush that Su Wei hadn't taken away, and walked carefully towards the backyard.

Xie Shiyi clutched the back of his head. When he climbed over the wall, he hit the tree above his head. He stepped on the ground and slid down the wall. He sat back and fell to the ground, very embarrassed.

After finally standing up, he saw Gu Lan pointing at him with a floor brush.

There is only a wall between the backyard of the Xie Mansion and the backyard of the Wang Mansion. The backyard of the Xie Mansion is lit up, and Gu Lan can easily see who this little thief is.

"It's you?" Gu Lan squinted her eyes, and glanced playfully at the hand that Xie Shixi had taken from the back of his head, "Unexpectedly, Xie Bandu also has a hobby of climbing walls."

Xie Shixi yelled at the stars all over the sky: "The moon and stars are scarce tonight, and it is quite bright, so I just want to take a walk in the backyard."

When he said this, a dark cloud happened to cover the moon, and the stars in the sky became more and more twinkling. Gu Lan raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Then you climbed over the wall while walking?"

Xie Shixi patted his head, laughed dryly, and did not speak.

He heard from his elder brother that Emperor Qi Yuan left his son in the palace, and felt that it was too pitiful for a child to stay alone in such a gloomy palace, so he couldn't bear it, so he came over the wall. Big joke.

"Go back." Gu Lan's expression was calm, not as if he was pretending to be calm, and his voice was not as serious and cold as usual, but seemed to be smiling.

Xie Shishi was still a little worried, instead of backing away, he took a step forward and said with a smile: "The palace will be gone tomorrow, I will stay a little longer and enjoy the scenery."

Gu Lan gave him a funny look, and felt that Uncle Xie and this younger brother were really like a puppy raised by a lion. At this age, they are still so pure, kind and upright, which shows that his family has protected him very well.

"up to you."

After saying a few words, Gu Lan casually threw away the floor brush, raised her legs and went back to the front hall, and sat down on the stone steps again. After a while, Xie Shishi, who said she wanted to enjoy the scenery, sat beside him down.

Before counting to three, Xie Shixi couldn't help but said, "Are you just sitting here all night?"

"Thinking about things." Gu Lan replied simply.

"Oh." Xie Shiyi replied in a muffled voice.

Xie Shishi actually had another quarrel with Xie Jiuyuan.

The newly appointed Governor of Jingzhao Mansion was the Prime Minister of Jingzhao Mansion a while ago. At that time, he was a frequent visitor of Xie Mansion.Xie Shixi secretly suspected that his brother had some kind of relationship with this person.Before, his brother was not punished because he was frightened in the palace, so he took advantage of this time to answer his brother's questions boldly and asked them boldly.

His brother didn't deny it.

He originally thought that he must be thinking too much, how could his brother be a gangster?

Unexpectedly, it is true.

Since he was a child, Xie Jiuyuan was omnipotent in his heart. This brother who is outstanding in everything is like a god in his heart. good.

But it turns out that when such a person enters the officialdom, it is like flying snow into mud.

The idol collapsed, and there was no obstacle to look around, but there was no target, no direction.

"Tell me," Xie Shiwen said in a low voice, "Why do people change?"

Seeing his performance, Gu Lan understood that this person did not come here purely to comfort him, but because he was confused and ran away from home.

"Because of the time, because of the situation, how can anyone stay the same?" Gu Lan looked at this "top talent" like a fool.

Xie Shiyi became even more depressed, muttering: "But why did it become bad? Like Mr. Wang in the late emperor's time, didn't he insist on his noble character? When he becomes an official, do he have to make friends everywhere and win people's hearts? "

Gu Lan's face darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "It's not up to you to decide whether it's good or bad. The Lord Wang you said was so shocking, and he said something that the officials dared not speak out. To set an example. But is the court today reaching the point where the ministers will die? It is difficult to stand alone, and if you don’t win people over to fight against the Wen Party, do you want Mr. Xie to die exhausted in Fengtian Hall?"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, especially at the end, when he pointed out what Xie Shiyi was talking about, Xie Shishi's face turned pale, and he subconsciously replied, "Why would I want my brother to be exhausted to death!"

"If you don't die of exhaustion, you will kill me." Gu Lan looked at him with a bit of disdain, "You probably forgot that I am the prince, and you alluded to Mr. Xie in front of me for forming a clique. If I Do you know the consequences of your words? Do you plan to write a few more limericks at that time? Xie Guang, at your age, should I praise you for your pure kindness, or should I blame you? Why so stupid?"

Xie Shixi was told so much that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in. Even Gu Lan, who was more than ten years old, understood the truth. He was so ignorant that he bit his lips until he bled, and he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

Seeing him like this, Gu Lan sighed and said, "You should be glad that you are Uncle Xie's younger brother. Go back and disturb my peace."

Xie Shishi stood up awkwardly, untied the small burden on his back, threw it to Gu Lan, and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Gu Lan opened it and saw that it was a small blanket, probably brought back by that uncle Xie Jingqing from outside the customs. The style is quite rough, but it is very warm.

Really.

People with aloof character often don't have much achievements in the court, but they can resist outspokenly, and those with knowledge can even turn the tide.

People who are pure, kind and upright often cannot rub the sand in their eyes, but if such a person has the unity of knowledge and action, he is a rare gentleman who is not hypocritical.

If Xie Shishi can bypass this bend and become an official in the future, he must be Uncle Xie's right-hand man.

If you can't get around this bend...

Gu Lan pondered over the court situation, without realizing at all that his current considerations were no longer based on the vision of a "virtuous king".

At the same time, Gu Zhen was lying alone in the East Nuan Pavilion, and he was also thinking about the news from the guard that the Xie family brothers had been arguing for many days.

In the previous life, Xie Jiuyuan was forced to join the Wen Party, and the pair of brothers broke up. They reunited after many years, but by then, it was too late.It is a good thing that conflicts are triggered in advance now.

In this way, the next step is just right.

The next day, Prince Li's Mansion was bulldozed by Su Wei, and countless bones were dug out. The common people gathered to watch, scolding Prince Li for being unconscionable, and praising Emperor Qiyuan for killing his relatives righteously.

Gu Zhen personally selected blueprint craftsmen to start the construction on the spot, and said to the outside world that he was building the Shizi Mansion for the prince, but in fact, the prince's regulations were used for everything.

A few days later, news came from Qianxi that the Miao people rioted.

The ministers debated fiercely, some advocated the battle, some advocated peace, and some suggested sending people to investigate clearly.Emperor Qiyuan didn't say a word, and finally sent his son Gu Lan to inspect Qianxi on behalf of the emperor.

The ministers had no objections, and they had a lot of thoughts in private, and the Wen Party even had a plan.

All of a sudden, the undercurrent surged, and the impoverished and chaotic Qianxi became the focus of the Great Chu Dynasty.

In June in the world, the wind and rain are about to come.
