Uncle Guo

Liang Mansion in the eastern suburbs.

Mr. Liang spent his entire life as a soldier. He should have reached the age to support his life. However, he was deprived of his title and title first, and then returned to the farm after being disarmed. So now he is under house arrest in an old house in the eastern suburbs. He has food and clothing every day. He doesn't care much. But his wife, Mrs. Dong, had bad weather one day and wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor and confront her son-in-law.

The guards guarding Liang's mansion just turned a deaf ear to it, standing at the door like iron towers, like stone lions, making noise in the house, anyway, just don't leave the mansion.

While Liang Yuncheng was sitting cross-legged inside the room eating breakfast, Mrs. Dong whipped him with the sole of her shoe from inside to outside, "You still have the mood to eat!"

"The emperor reinstated me as an official. Now that I have food and drink in the mansion, what are you not satisfied with? As for Ah Yuan, the husband and wife quarreled at the bedside and at the end of the bed. It looks like this and they should be released in a few days. It's not that I said, Ah Yuan made our old couple get too used to it. It is said that she dared to slap the emperor in the palace, so she is just like you! Ouch!" Liang Yuncheng walked around the stone table in the pavilion and talked with Mrs. Dong Going around in circles, just to prevent her from getting close to him, "Mother, if you dare to hit me again, I will be really angry!"

"Is Ah Yuan and the man surnamed Han an ordinary couple? The man surnamed Han abolished the queen and sent her to prison. That would be a killer."

"If you want to kill him, kill him early, isn't that not killing him?"

"He dares!?"

"Since he doesn't dare, what are you afraid of?"

Mrs. Dong couldn't catch up with the old man, so she simply threw the shoe out, but the shoe didn't hit her forehead, and it flew into the corner without hitting her forehead. Mrs. Dong sat down on the ground and stopped chasing and beating her husband. She just burst into tears, "I think you are old and confused. Don't you want to think about why the emperor restored your title and official position? Since he took power, what is left of the Liang family? I think most of the eyes of the third child were blinded by his poisonous hands. If the third child is not blind, I don't know what the situation in the court will be like. I think my Liang family is full of heroes, and now I have ended up like this!"

Hearing this, Liang Yuncheng couldn't help sighing. He helped Mrs. Dong up from the ground, and led her to sit down on the porch, "It's cold on the ground, watch your body carefully."

"Go, I have so many sons and daughters, one by one, I want to send them away in person, one by one, what's the point of me being alive?"

Liang Yuncheng put his arms around her shoulders, "Ma'am, don't say that quickly. Look at those who followed the emperor back then, which one was not a famous general, but now it's good to be like me."

"Hmph." Mrs. Dong sneered, "I care about your life? How do my sons and daughters compare with those of your old colleagues? They are all but a pinch of loess, what's the difference?"

Liang Yuncheng stopped answering the conversation, and only looked up. There was no clear universe in the dark night, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

Gufu in the southern suburbs.

Gu Laohou was a suave and handsome young man when he was young, but now he is seventy years old, because he has always been pampered, he is still a handsome old man.

The handsome Old Master Gu walked to the west chamber, pushed open the door, and asked his daughter-in-law, "Where's Erlang?"

The daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su, is not Gu Changfeng's main wife. After Gu Changfeng took Princess Zheng to become his son-in-law, Mr. Gu once thought that the Gu family would be extinct from then on. It's a joke, the most beloved daughter of Emperor Tai-zu married your son , you, the Gu family, dare to take a concubine for your son?As for letting Princess Zheng give birth to a man and a half woman for the Gu family, that is absolutely impossible.

Who would have known that the little emperor later pointed out a fairy-looking Su family to the Gu family, who was reportedly the second sister of a favorite concubine in his palace, and the intricate love-hate relationship in the Gu family was inconvenient for the Gu family to inquire about, anyway, Princess Zheng nodded, not only Nodding, he even joyfully arranged a happy event for Gu Changfeng to accept a concubine.

Within three years after Mrs. Su came to Gu's family, she gave birth to a pair of jade-carved sons and daughters for Gu's family. Mr. Gu was very satisfied with what Mrs. Su saw, and this Mrs. Su did not forget her identity because of this, serving The parents-in-law are even more dedicated, and they have the demeanor of the head of the house, but not the domineering arrogance of the head of the house.

Gu Lao Hou Ye used to play with his grandson on weekdays, and he was very happy in his later years. When he talked to Su Shi like this today, his tone was very strange.

He wasn't annoyed, but he was in a hurry, not only in a hurry, but also in a panic, as if he was about to rush to the city.

Su's face was bewildered, "Second Master has traveled a long way and hasn't come back yet."

Old Master Gu's face sank: "Tell the truth!"

A look of panic flashed in Su's eyes, and tears welled up in his eyelashes, "He came back the night before yesterday, only changed and washed his clothes, and went out again before dawn. I saw that his expression was not right, so I didn't dare to ask more questions. Besides He told me not to say anything, and Master Hou just pretended not to know when he asked."

"Has Mrs. Korea revealed any news from the palace to you?"

Mrs. Han is Su's own younger sister, the emperor's favorite concubine. Su shook her head, "My younger sister is not favored in the palace now. It is not easy for us sisters to meet each other. The last time I saw her, she was seriously ill. It has been two or three years since I visited the palace. I wrote to her, but she rarely replied."

Old Master Gu said: "When Erlang comes back, you must try to keep him, and you can't let him go out again. He is going to bring death to our Gu family."

"My daughter-in-law understands."

Old Master Gu turned around, but when he saw his grandson rushing in like a gust of wind, he yelled loudly, "Grandpa!"

The nurse behind her was holding her granddaughter, and the little jade figure twisted her body to get down to the ground. Now she was able to waddle and walk, and after taking two steps by herself, she jumped up and down, jumping towards her grandfather.

Old Master Gu hugged the two children together in his arms. He couldn't help feeling sad and looked up at the sky. He begged God earnestly. Since Tai-zu started his business, after so many bloody years, the Gu family has survived so far. At the critical moment, the family was destroyed.

Hundreds of flowers make Shen's house.

Shen Yuan, a native of Huizhou, was originally from Nanling. He was a Jinshi in the 12th year of Guangwu.

The master of Zhan Shifu is a small official from the seventh rank, but as the prince's tutor, he teaches the Four Books and Five Classics.The first-rank and second-rank high officials in the capital, the prince's tutor, the prince's Shaobao, etc., appointed by the emperor, are just nominal positions. These high-ranking officials and nobles go to and from the court on weekdays, and they don't really teach the prince.Although the rank of Zhan Shifu's master book is low, he is usually selected from the Hanlin Academy to be a capable person with high morals and high talents.In the eighth year of Hongxi, upon recommendation, Shen Yuan, who was [-] years old, was transferred from Ze County, Qinzhou, to the capital to work in Zhan Shi's Mansion to teach Prince Han Yunmi how to read and write.That's right, at that time Han Yunmi had been living among the people for many years, and had just returned to the East Palace, and he didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, and there was wildness in every pore, like a small uncivilized beast.

Shen Yuan is an out-and-out scholar. He thinks that his talent is not high, but hard work can make up for it. That's why he didn't pass the Jinshi examination until middle age. Since then, he has been working hard as a sesame official in the local area without even a rank.Originally, he was probably like this in his life, with no chance for promotion and no talent, but in March of that year, a fairy-like young man came to Ze County. He was handsome and well-educated. Passing by here, he helped the government to capture a Jiangyang thief who met on a narrow road.By chance, the two became Wangnian friends, and this person was Liang Qingyu.

Liang Qingyu has the kindness to know him, it's quite funny to say it, usually the older people support the younger generation, but there are some people in this world who are like this, not only nobler than you, but also better than you in everything. It is simply unmatched.After Shen Yuan entered the capital and entered the palace, his horizons were truly opened, and he got close to the core characters that only existed in story books before.

Now, the future fate of Yangyang China is in his hands, and the history books will leave a strong mark on what he wrote.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan's heart surged.

Tremblingly, he took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Shen Yuan forced himself to calm down, and stood on the porch ready to welcome guests.

In his private house, cleaning, cooking, sewing, and mending are all done by his own family, and he can't afford to hire an old servant. There is a blind old mother on the top, and there is a young child on the bottom.Even this house was a gift from the Liang family back then, and he had 1 reluctances in his heart. In the end, he only said it was a loan, but he refused to accept it after all.Fortunately, when the Liang family was implicated, he was not imprisoned for forming a party for personal gain.

After the crown prince was abolished, he moved to Nangong. Everyone in Zhan Shifu was also free, and received a meager salary on weekdays. Shen Yuan spent his days behind closed doors in the capital, concentrating on studying, even asking him to be a teacher in a private school Declined.

He has been waiting, waiting for the day when the prince will come back.

"Master Shen!" The visitor had already clasped his hands and bowed, shaking his wrists and arms far away, walking over in strides before entering the door.

"My lord Sun! There are those who are far away, and those who are far away!"

Before Sun Hu could take off his flying fish uniform, he just came here in his official robes. It didn't look like a visit, but rather an official business. Besides, this person had no personal relationship with him.The reason why Shen Yuan knew him was because he had been here almost a month ago. At that time, the imperial guards rushed into Shen's mansion and searched the inside and outside of the house. They didn't find anything, so they left in resentment. .

At the time of the search, Shen Yuan and Sun Hu were also sitting in the hall like this. Sun Hu's subordinates were arrogant and fierce, but Sun Hu himself was very polite and respectfully chatted with him about a topic - soldiers To die for the confidant.

Shen Yuan said very bluntly: "Shen has no confidant in his life."

Sun Hu smiled: "We can't talk anymore!" After finishing speaking, he changed the subject, "Back then when King Yi killed his wife, none of us subordinates dared to talk. Mr. Shen is Mr. Zhan Shifu, can you imagine Could King Yi do such a thing? What kind of person would be able to do this to his wife? Hey, I heard that the Wu family is only 14 years old, and the Wu family happily sent their daughter into the palace to become the prince Concubine, she thought she would be a glorious family from now on, but the couple came to collect her daughter's body, crying and crying. No, not even the body was seen."

Shen Yuan's expression was normal, and he said indifferently: "Shen Yuan dare not speculate on the Tian family's private affairs. Today, King Yi has never been charged with murder, and there seems to be another hidden story."

After talking for a long time, nothing was found in Shen's house, and Sun Hu led the people away in a huff.

Today, Sun Hu came to visit again, and he was so enthusiastic as if the two were life-and-death friends, but Shen Yuan changed from his previous composure, the sweat dripped from his forehead, and he couldn't even wear his handkerchief.

Sun Hu cut to the chase, "Master Shen, you heard that something serious happened to Nangong."

"Oh? I would like to hear the details." Shen Yuan accompanied her with a smiling face.

"King Yi is gone!"

"Oh? Really?"

"That's right, Master Fu didn't dare to report the news to the emperor." Sun Hu stared at Shen Yuan with sharp eyes, not letting go of the slightest expression change on his face.

"I heard that King Yi is here with you."

"what?"

Before Shen Yuan could explain, Sun Hu's face turned serious, and he immediately sent someone to search.

"You knew it a month ago, didn't you? When I came here, I couldn't find it. You thought it was safe here, and you kept hiding people at home." Sun Hu took off his gloves and rubbed his fingers, "You know, privately What crime should King Cangyi deserve?"

Shen Yuan's face was livid, and he didn't say a word.

Sun Hu looked around, the child of the Shen family was only about seven or eight years old, not a grandson, but born of his middle-aged son, shaking his head and sighing, Sun Hu said: "You don't think about yourself, but also about your family. Think about it, old and young, how could such a thing be allowed to happen?"

Sun Hu's subordinates rushed towards a wing room, Shen Yuan rushed forward to stop him, but was kicked in the chest, he felt as if a big rock was pressed on his chest, and he fell to the ground all at once.

The door of the room was kicked open, and a young man stood with his hands behind his back, with the back of his head facing the outside of the room.Now that the matter has come to this point, he is still neither humble nor overbearing, calm and unhurried, and still wants to put on the air of a prince.

Sun Hu stepped forward triumphantly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please!"
