reborn monarch

*春

In the spring of the 39th year of Qiyuan, Emperor Qiyuan abdicated, and the crown prince Gu Wuji succeeded him, changing his year name to Yuanshou.

At that time, the world was once again in turmoil, and the Second World War was imminent. Huaguo had no war in its homeland for 20 years, and its national strength was growing rapidly. The family defends the country.

Before succeeding to the throne, the crown prince knelt down and asked the Supreme Emperor to give him the year title. Emperor Qiyuan thought twice and chose the word "Yuan Shou". The heart of conquest is to inspire the subjects, inspire the soldiers, and strengthen the prestige of the country.

Contrary to outside speculation, Gu Zhen did not leave any power in his hands, and left everything to Gu Wuji, which really shocked the world.

After Gu Wuji officially ascended the throne, Gu Zhen even moved out of Miyagi on the grounds that "the palace has no two lords".But the war is coming, and for the sake of safety, Gu Wuji and his courtiers stayed here again and again. Gu Zhen temporarily lives in the Summer Palace in the northwestern suburbs of the capital, and makes plans after the war subsides.

Gu Wuji has also reached the age of forty, and Jingwei Bangguo no longer needs guidance, and his imperial aura and dragon prestige are not inferior to Gu Zhen's.

On the day Gu Zhen moved out of Miyagi, Gu Wuji went to say goodbye, and when he knelt down in front of Gu Zhen, he did not expect to cry.

But thinking about it, it should have been.

He was once an unnamed son who was abandoned by his biological father, and he was treated coldly in Prince Li's residence. If the emperor uncle hadn't brought him into the palace to teach him carefully, he wouldn't be the king and emperor today.The grace of upbringing, the re-creation of kindness, the most precious thing is this royal family affection, this parting, the other is the heaven and earth monarchs, relatives and teachers, if you are not moved, you are not benevolent and unrighteous.

Gu Wuji thought about it, and although he stopped crying, his face became more and more miserable and extremely serious.

His eldest son, Gu Ye, was only ten years old. It was the first time he saw his father in such a state of seriousness and domineering. He was so frightened that he knelt beside him, his eyes widened, and he didn't dare to move.

"Don't be sad." Gu Zhen stretched out his hand to help him up, and then asked Sanbao to pull Gu Ye up, put his arms around Gu Ye and laughed at him, "How can a father be like this in front of his son."

Thinking about the past, Gu Zhen sighed again: "Back when Lan'er came to the palace with Prince Li to pay his respects, it was Ye'er's age."

After talking, he laughed again: "When I'm old, I'm going to talk about old people and old things that don't make sense."

After reaching the crown, Gu Wuji never heard of his real name again, and the emperor's uncle said "Lan'er", which made him have mixed feelings.

He looked up, age was very tolerant of the emperor's uncle's handsome appearance, but the original long black hair was stained with frost and snow, Gu Wuji knelt in front of the couch, he could see a few strands of gorgeous hair from the black hair.

There was a suggestion in the palace that we can follow the example of the previous emperors and use medicine to dye the skin back to black. The emperor refused to accept it, saying that immortals are not old, but mortals are old, and white hair and loose teeth are unavoidable. Why pretend to be a ghost? The matter is dismissed without further mention.

Thinking that Uncle Xie has also handed over the position of Prime Minister to Jiang Zaidao, although he is still a cabinet minister, it is different after all.It's really another day and another day, things are different.

Gu Wuji bowed solemnly, and said according to the etiquette: "Uncle moved out of Miyagi, Gu Lan is not filial, and can't carry the box for uncle himself, so farewell with audacity, please give me a lesson from uncle."

He called himself Gu Lan, and called Gu Zhen his uncle, so what he was talking about was of course family training.

It is said that it is difficult for a crown prince to do anything, and it is difficult for a king to maintain a relationship with the crown prince, let alone the relationship between father and son. Over the years, although Gu Wuji had disputes with Gu Zhen, he had never been provoked by anyone. It's rare to be in love, not to mention that he admires Gu Zhen so much, Gu Zhen is also very grateful in his heart, and warmly teaches.

"You have children, and you are the king of a country. You should understand the principles of governing the country, keeping your family in order, and keeping the world in order. You must not lose sight of teaching and companionship. This is the way to be a king and a father."

"I know you put your heart into everything, but don't be too tired. Taking care of yourself is also the duty of a king."

"There is no reason why an uncle is in charge of my nephew's rear house, but the most important thing for me to get along with him is trust and honesty. You can decide for yourself whether it is suitable or not."

Gu Lan listened carefully and understood every sentence.

As he talked, he finally brought up the matter of the court.

"I know that you and Xie Guang worked together in private to reject Mr. Jiang's proposal. I agree with you on this matter, but you have lost consideration in your approach."

"You have a childhood friendship and a common ideal and vision, but after all, the relationship between me and Jiu Yuan is different. Besides, Jiu Yuan and I seem to have no differences in positions, but you need to know that I also have differences with him on political matters. I have to consider his identity and standpoint when I act, even if he is willing to protect me, I don't want to put him in isolation at every turn."

"With the current order of the court, there is no need to create lonely ministers. Whether it is you or him, don't lose the rare friendship between monarch and minister in a hurry."

Gu Lan bowed her head solemnly, and said: "My nephew listens to the training."

Taking advantage of this, Gu Zhen sighed, stroking the soft hair on Gu Ye's head, and persuaded: "Only when I sat on that chair did I realize that I couldn't help myself, and I added a lot of constraints to that chair. You all understand. Once you become the emperor, you will be alone, and you have already tasted what it is like."

"It doesn't matter what you think about your career, Haiming's behavior is bad, and you will be punished. Don't be cold-hearted. As for Ye'er, it was forced by the situation when you were appointed as a reserve early on. You are tired of working hard day and night at such a young age. , don’t let Ye’er suffer like this. What do you think?”

Gu Lan bowed solemnly and said, "Gu Lan understands."

The uncle and nephew chatted a few more words, the auspicious time was approaching, Gu Lan personally helped Gu Zhen onto the imperial chariot, Gu Ye took a symbolic burden and sent Gu Zhen to the summer palace instead of his father.

So far, the transition of power from the old king to the new king of Hua has been successfully completed.

*夏

After Gu Zhen abdicated, he became self-willed. After living in the Summer Palace for less than a month, he changed his substitute to stay in the Summer Palace, and went to Xie Mansion by himself. Gu Wuji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The Xie family passed away a few years ago, and Xie Guang moved out after getting married. After Qin Jian resigned from office, he and Xie Jingqing traveled all over the world, so Xie Jiuyuan was the only one left in the Xie family.

Gu Zhen originally wanted him to live in the Summer Palace, but it didn't sound good to say it, but he really didn't want Xie Jiuyuan to be alone, so he ran to live in Xie's mansion by himself. Anyway, he is the abdicated Supreme Emperor, who would dare to criticize him I can't hear it either, let my nephew worry about it.

However, it is not a lie that the Xie Mansion is cool and pleasant. Ge Qingshu is worthy of being a great talent. The house designed is interesting in all seasons. In summer, running water flows through the courtyards, shaded by tall trees, and the cool breeze brings coolness. It is indeed very pleasant .

In the afternoon, after eating milk ice cream, cicadas were singing like thunder, and the two of them rested on the couch in the study, without any sleepiness.

Xie Jiuyuan took a Western magazine and read it. Gu Zhen didn't think it was too hot, so he lay on his body for a rest, turned around and saw his long hair that fell loose, and said with a smile, "It's a little whiter again."

As an emperor, Gu Zhen restrained himself not to cut his hair, and wore ancient clothes to carry the millennium inheritance.But the summer was really sweltering, so I privately took out the modified monk's robes given by the elders of Xiuyun Temple back then. Among them, some of the light silk ones were very comfortable and cool, so I didn't wear them out anyway.

Sanbao is very old and mentally weak. Gu Zhen sympathizes with his age and does not need him to be close to him all the time. In the morning, Xie Jiuyuan tied his hair. He fell asleep just now. Hearing this, Xie Jiuyuan put down the book and groped to find the slip The hair rope on the couch was tied up again for Gu Zhen.

Leaning on Xie Jiuyuan's chest, Gu Zhen lowered his head to ask him to tie his hair. After finishing, he reached out to touch Xie Jiuyuan's white hair: "I don't know how long it will take before I can grow old with you."

Xie Jiuyuan kissed him: "It will always arrive."

*秋

As a veteran, when the war was urgent, Xie Jiuyuan went to the coast to supervise the battle and returned to Beijing in the early autumn of the following year.

The name of the white-haired God of War spread throughout Kyushu again. I heard from the censors that there were popular carving puppets dedicated to the Supreme Emperor and the late emperor. They were about the size of Guanyin worshiped by ordinary people. An adult lives a hundred years.

Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan listened to it as an anecdote, so forget it.

I still remember that in the 30th year of Qiyuan, there were rebellious actions against Emperor Qiyuan. The conservatives could not see Gu Zhen taking the lead in reforming the "ancestral regulations", and they could not understand Gu Zhen's decentralization of power. There were not many people responding, and they even organized to plan secret |Kill, wanted to attack Emperor Qiyuan during the imperial examination, but fortunately the guards sent out in time

Now, this disaster has been eliminated.

I have lived for a long time, and I am no longer in the center of government affairs, so I simply regard the changes in the world and the shift of time and capital as idle clouds.

Gu Wuji reciprocated, and asked Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan to patrol the south of the Yangtze River to see how the autumn harvest in the south of the Yangtze River is going.

The child is willing to be filial, and the two naturally appreciate it.

So he disguised himself and went south with the boat, crashing into the autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

When I arrived in Jinling, I went to see the original glazed pagoda, and it was indeed different from the one in the capital. While commenting, the pilgrims who passed by and heard it glanced across. You need to know that this glazed pagoda is from the previous dynasty.

It is said that the glazed pagoda of the previous dynasty has a royal air, what does this mean?

Unavoidably exposed, Xie Jiuyuan held Gu Zhen half in his arms. Gu Zhen found it funny and couldn't help chuckling.

The pilgrim saw that the lady was so unrepentant, so he felt obliged to remind Xie Jiuyuan: "Master, you should take care of it or you have to take care of it. Mrs. sister-in-law should be more cautious when speaking. As the saying goes, a good wife rarely causes trouble, and there is no medicine for regret after causing trouble." eat."

Xie Jiuyuan didn't want to argue with him, so he just nodded and didn't answer.The pilgrim thought he was ashamed of the lady's slip of the tongue, so he also left satisfied.

Gu Zhen was misunderstood as "Sister-in-law Madam", he felt quite happy, and couldn't stop laughing against Xie Jiuyuan.

When the pilgrim turned back, he thought it was because of himself that the lady was scolded by the master, and felt embarrassed, so he came over and said, "It's just a slip of the tongue, don't treat your wife too harshly", Xie Jiuyuan quickly nodded and said Yes, I was afraid that Gu Zhen couldn't help but laugh even harder and show his depression.

After Gu Zhen finished laughing, the two went to the temple to offer incense. When they came out, Gu Zhen couldn't help but smile, and sighed: "In the face of a war, it's natural for the people to be passionate. It's just that every unintentional remark has to be stopped and commented. It must have been a while."

"It's not like this in any dynasty or generation. One grows and the other disappears. When the war is settled, there will be peace. Moreover, such people are also a minority." Xie Jiuyuan said.

That's right, Gu Zhen put aside his miscellaneous thoughts and asked Xie Jiuyuan, a "regular customer", to take him to Jinling.

One day when I climbed up and looked around, I saw that there were many Buddhist temples in Jinling. Due to the strict Buddhist policy, the number of monks decreased. The tower is in the mist and rain.

The common people are always looking for something to believe in, holding Buddha's feet temporarily, asking for safety and blessings, so there is no sense of solemnity, but a little more fireworks, Gu Zhen also thinks it is good, attachment is a demon, so believing Unbelief, sincerity and sincerity are what the earthly world should look like.

Descending the mountain, I passed a calligraphy and painting studio called "Ziqi". The boss was a scholar named Mei. A well-known talented person will surely be able to go to high school in the future and shine on the lintel of the family.

Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan went in to buy a painting. The boss was very polite. Xie Jiuyuan asked about his father, but the boss was taken aback and said that his father had died last winter.

Therefore, I also apologized and said that I didn't know that my father had two old friends, so I failed to inform, and I was rude.

Xie Jiuyuan only said that he hadn't seen each other for many years, why was he being rude, and bought the expensive ink that had not been sold in the store for a long time, and left.

The two stayed in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a while, and before returning, they went to Qingxi City.

At the beginning, the Xie family fell apart, the main family declined again and again, and there were one or two promising offshoots, and they all severed ties with the main family. When the Xie's main family tree fell and the monkeys scattered, one of the promising offshoots bought Junshan, and every year after the rain After harvesting Junshanyu, a copy will be sent to the Xie Mansion, which means to continue the love of relatives.

Therefore, when they heard that Xie Jiuyuan was returning to the city with his wife, someone came to the door the next day to post a greeting card, which was very respectful.

Xie Jiuyuan agreed to meet, and Gu Zhen thought it was interesting, so he asked someone to set up a screen to act as Xie Jiuyuan's "lovely wife who doesn't like to see guests".

"What do you mean, the older you live, the younger you are?" Xie Jiuyuan said helplessly, but he also liked Gu Zhen to play with him in his heart. Gu Zhen knew that he had no burden in the past two years, and liked to tease him more and more.

Xie Jiuyuan knew whether Gu Zhen was sitting or not, and there was no long couch here, so he specially took a soft pillow and put it behind him so that he would not get tired from sitting.

The branch of that family visited respectfully, and the young boy they brought was indeed quite outstanding. No wonder he had the confidence to go to Beijing. Xie Jiuyuan did not refuse people thousands of miles away. I must do my best to the courtesy of the elders.This has already made them overjoyed, thank you again and again.

In a few days, rumors spread all over Qingxi City, saying that Mr. Xie and his beloved wife, Qinse, are in harmony, and that he never forgets to pour tea for his beloved wife even when meeting guests, which is really enviable.

So many years later, there are records in unofficial history that Xie Jiuyuan's success was because he married the twin sisters of Emperor Qiyuan. Twins were an ominous sign at that time, so Emperor Qiyuan's biological mother was left out, and his sister was sent to a nunnery. Later, he was also sent to a nunnery. After entering Xiuyun Temple, it wasn't until he ascended the throne that he chose a good son-in-law for his sister.It was well compiled and won the trust of many people.

*冬

A few years passed in a flash, and when Gu Zhen's head was full of black hair, the two of them were really old.

But it doesn't matter if you are old, the two are together anyway.

The old man was having a hard time in winter. One day when Gu Zhen came back from an external ceremony, he found that Xie Jiuyuan had caught a cold and stopped his servants from reporting to him, so he rarely lost his temper with his servants.

Xie Jiuyuan drank the medicine and sweated after sleeping, but there was nothing serious about it. At night, he was much more energetic. He smiled and comforted Gu Zhen: "It's just a cold."

Regardless of dissuasion, Gu Zhen wrapped himself in a thick quilt and lay beside him, without saying a word, as if he was wronged.

Xie Jiuyuan reached out and passed under the quilt, and held Gu Zhen's tightly clenched hand. He knew that Gu Zhen had been worried that he was older than him, and that even the wind and cold could scare him, so he stopped persuading him, but just held his hand and accompanied him. with him.

When he woke up the next day, the cold symptoms had subsided, and the doctor came to see him, and Gu Zhen was relieved.

Only now did Xie Jiuyuan hug him and said, "Don't worry now?"

Gu Zhen leaned against him, and said after a long time, "It's been two lifetimes, you can't leave me behind."

In two lifetimes, I knew that fate was impermanent, and I still said such childish things.

Xie Jiuyuan kissed His Majesty in his arms, and agreed to him as if it was a serious matter.

"Your Majesty, obey the order and take orders, and will not leave your Majesty behind."

The author has something to say:

*Gu Dan's new article "Cultivating Undercover Infernal Affairs" will be published on May 5th. It is an article about cultivation of immortals. If you are interested, you can pre-order it~

*As far as the extra episode, this article is over. This is the first long original article I have written. I just opened the hole because I was cute after reading "Introduction to Buddhism" and "The Ming Dynasty", so I opened the hole. Through This article found many deficiencies, which are worth remembering. (I like Ah Zhen and Jiu Yuan~)

*In the text, the book about Chongde’s transformation and Western sea charts and political books is actually Mr. Xu Jiyu’s "Yinghuan Zhilue", which was not valued by the Qing government, but was valued by Japan, which affected the Meiji Restoration , like those young overseas students who have not been reused, is a great regret in modern history.

*Also, explain the timeline of modernization.

The previous dynasty of this article combined the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was passed on to Emperor Qi Yuan. Dad suppressed commerce in the later stage, so the country was a bit behind | Gu Zhen and General Xie needed to introduce electricity.

The incandescent lamp was invented in 1854. In 1878, there was already an electric lamp company in Britain, and the Ford Model T was the first mass-produced car in 1908.

In this way, the timeline is sequential, and I think there is no problem in terms of logic and historical order. The modern industrial revolution|revolution was really fast, but in reality we almost lagged behind the entire middle and late Qing Dynasty.

I admit that I was a bit rushed in writing later, because on the one hand, thinking about modern history made me sad, and I wanted to catch up quickly, and I was stuck writing about major changes. On the other hand, I had many shortcomings in my writing. This is a problem of my ability .

So if you feel that the content of modernization is embarrassing, I can't help it. If you feel that the rhythm of this article is not good, that is my problem, and I will try my best to correct it in future articles.

*Finally, thanks for supporting the genuine version ^^ thanks for the comments and 打lei (bow)
