I was the heir in ancient times

Gu Shiyong's place of self-cultivation is the Queen's bedroom, Kunning Palace.

There are not many extra servants in Kunning Palace, except for the imperial physicians and a few personal maids, there are only three eunuchs. Gu Baozhen walked all the way in, and only saw a lot of guards on the outside. It's very empress dowager's calm and gentle attitude in life.

He stepped through two gates and entered the compound of Kunning Palace. His father's chief eunuch, Eunuch Zhang, bent over to lead the way. On the way, Eunuch Zhang saw the prince's serious expression, so he couldn't help smiling, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty." I am in high spirits today, after practicing martial arts just now, I made dumplings with the Empress, and His Highness will pass by later, so I might as well be happier, after all, His Majesty must also want to see His Highness happy."

Gu Baozhen nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, Eunuch."

Eunuch Zhang has served the emperor for more than ten years, not to mention much, the kung fu of trying to figure out the emperor's mind is no lower than anyone else: "Your Highness is serious, our family just loves His Majesty, His Majesty has been doing things for so many years. It was not what he wanted, and it was not His Majesty's fault that he hurt His Highness's heart, but His Majesty is the Son of Heaven after all, and the Son of Heaven cannot make mistakes, so His Highness can only be wronged."

Gu Baozhen could tell that Eunuch Zhang wanted to persuade him not to quarrel with his father today, but in fact there was no quarrel between him and his father, no, he understood his father's thoughts very well. That's all.

And his father is the most upstanding man in the world!He loves his father's sense of responsibility, so he has to bear the side effects of his father's sense of responsibility, which is all right.

During these 18 years in ancient times, Gu Baozhen has become more and more like a real ancient person.

He was quite happy about it.

After passing through a small garden, Gu Baozhen met his father and mother in the flower hall.

The old lady has poor eyesight, but loves embroidery very much. She often wears reading glasses clipped on the bridge of her nose. The glasses are very far from the eyes, almost falling on the nose, but she has her own ability to make the glasses stand on the nose. Instead, he could still embroider insoles while talking to his father.

The old man was playing chess with his left and right hands. Seeing his younger son coming from the corner of his eye, he beckoned and smiled brightly: "Hey, Qi Gou'er, come on, I am worried that playing chess alone is not fun, so come and play with me. "

Gu Baozhen frowned, showing an unhappy and arrogant look: "Then dad, you have to let me do three tricks!"

"How old are you, you have to play chess with me in an upright manner, otherwise if you play chess with others in the future, what will you do if no one will let you? You will lose!" Gu Shiyong also frowned, but he was never An old-looking man with crow's feet on the corners of his eyes, frowning, he only made people feel majestic and mighty, he was an overlord who would scare everyone to their knees and beg for mercy when he became serious.

But Gu Baozhen didn't, he stuck out his tongue at his father, and lay on the couch facing his father in a shapeless manner, smiling very playfully: "I don't, what if you let me do three tricks? Mom!"

Gu Yangshi, who always played the role of the patriarch at the side, didn't take a good look at her husband, so she flew over with an insole and said, "Little Qi told you to let me go, just let me go, and I'm still a man. Dad, I don't even know how to let the junior."

Gu Shiyong grabbed the old wife's insole with one hand, and said aggrievedly: "I am still his father, why doesn't he respect the elders, let me do three tricks? Also, Ah Su, you didn't treat me like this before Yes, why are you getting old and old, and you don’t listen to me more and more.”

Gu Yangshi glanced at her old, thinner, and handsome husband, then looked at her little Qi dog, speechless for a moment, and said vaguely: "Who told you to always bully Xiao Qi."

Gu Shiyong shook his head helplessly, smiled, and said to Qi Gouer, who winked at him and flaunted his power, "Your mother knows how to spoil you. In this life, I don't think you will ever grow up with her."

Gu Baozhen held a sunspot, made three moves in a row, and said triumphantly: "My son thinks that no matter how old everyone is, they are all children in the eyes of their parents. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as you know when to show strength." On the one hand, it’s fine to be coquettish and foolish whenever you want, otherwise there will always be an accident when there is no relaxation, and there will be an accident one day.”

Gu Shiyong nodded, appreciating: "It makes sense."

"So, Dad..."

"doing what?"

"Give me three more pawns."

The emperor's chess-raising hands paused in the air, and he said helplessly, "You, how about you just surrender for your father?"

"That would be the best." Gu Qigou'er made an inch of it.

"You seven dogs are really looking for a fight!"

"Hahaha."

Gu Baozhen acted coquettishly and foolishly among the two old people, and the time quickly slipped away, and it was noon in a short while, as Eunuch Zhang said, at noon, he ate a meal of dumplings made by his father himself, and in the afternoon he was tested by his father as usual Studying, asking about the state of coal mining in Shu Country in recent days, this is the top priority.

"Returning to the father, after receiving the reward, the second brother went to the open-pit coal mine in the grassland. The first batch of mining has thousands of vehicles, which have been sent to the Huangcang in the suburbs of Beijing seven days ago. Later, they will be distributed according to the cold conditions of each province. In the past, glass greenhouses have been closely used by Jiangnan, but it is not enough. When coal mines continue to flow into Beijing, glass factories in other places can start production. Every year, it keeps the mouths of tens of millions of people across the country."

Gu Baozhen said in detail: "By the way, I discussed with Dong Xiang about the matter of going to the west a few days ago. The master said that in two years' time, he can take the initiative to go to the west and sell our Shu country's colorless glass to them at a high price."

"First, we can test the current situation of William and his country, whether it is an enemy or a friend. Second, we can earn a little gold, silver and jewelry back. If it goes well, when the Little Ice Age is over, we will gradually open the era of east-west trade, which can promote the development of various industries. Development." Of course, if things don't go well, they are capable enough to fight against it, after all, they will never be worse than they are now in a few years!

Gu Shiyong nodded while listening, and said: "Since it was Mr. Dong who said it, it is feasible there. Xiaoqi, you have always had a lot of ideas, but the timing is always not ripe. I am very relieved to have Mr. Dong watching you." .”

Gu Baozhen was also relieved that Dong Futu probably wanted to repay the opportunity given to him by this era, so he cooperated with him very much. In order not to make him afraid, he did not get married or befriend any ministers. A knife is also a ruler.

During dinner in the evening, Gu Baozhen and his father asked if they would like to invite some elder brothers to come over for dinner. After all...maybe...this is the last dinner together.

But was rejected.

For dinner, it was only him, his father and mother, a family of three and the always fat big white goose, sitting in the flower hall and chatting, and time passed by everyone's fingertips.

Dinner was not as good as lunch, Gu Baozhen could feel that his father was starting to feel powerless, after knocking over the bowls and chopsticks once, Gu Baozhen quickly let Zhang Gonggong carry his father into the dormitory, and his father seemed to be taken away by a serious illness in an instant A giant of all strength, showing old age.

"Everyone go out, the prince stays." Even though the emperor Gu Shiyong, who was suffering from exhaustion with his eyes closed, was lying on the hospital bed, his words had the power not to be questioned by anyone.

In the end, the old lady led the court ladies and eunuchs and a bunch of sad-faced imperial doctors out, leaving space for him and the old man.

Gu Baozhen knelt and sat on the footrest, not knowing what he was waiting for. In a daze, a big hand suddenly stretched out and pressed it on his head: "Father..." Gu Baozhen heard himself shout.

The emperor, who seemed to have tears in his deep eyes on the bed, replied slowly and in a low voice: "Well, my prince, from now on, you must be well."

Gu Baozhen knew what his father wanted to say: "I will do my best to help my father, you can see that everyone in this world has enough food and clothing, and the world is peaceful."

"No, dad didn't mean that." The emperor smiled lightly, and said sadly, "Father hopes you are well."

"My son will be fine. Don't worry about this father. Although my son and elder brother haven't met many times, the elder brother is very good to my son now. Zhi Tong is also very obedient. The second elder brother has helped me a lot. The fourth elder brother and elder brother Although the third brother is still very difficult to deal with, they are the most important elder brothers of my son. Tell the son to take it up, son-in-law, of course it will be fine."

The emperor said: "Xiaoqi, what about dad? Do you hate dad?"

Gu Baozhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "How could it be? Dad just sees farther than anyone else, letting everyone walk on the most correct path. Dad is very powerful. It's because Xiao Qi is ignorant. When he was young, he was playful and only cared about himself. Xiaoqi was wrong, father was right."

"You kid...you can coax people, I don't believe you." The emperor smiled and wept.

Gu Baozhen's eyes suddenly became hot, and he stretched out his hand to wipe off the water marks on his father's face, and said with a smile: "I, Gu Qigou, always tell the truth and never lie."

"Forget it, I don't care if what you say is true or false, I will take it seriously. In the next life, Xiao Qi, in the next life, I hope to be a good father and treat you well, very good. In this life, I will work hard for you and replace me Guard this country so that the people of Zhen will not be hungry, cold, or bullied."

"I leave it all to you."

"You want to be a good emperor, Xiao Qi. I believe in you."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Baozhen felt the hand touching the top of his head lose strength and slipped down.

He immediately held his father's hand subconsciously, as if he had taken over the power and responsibility of the world from his hand.

Gu Baozhen was very calm, he even felt the weight on his shoulders, then he stood up and called Eunuch Zhang, went to comfort his mother, and finally notified his brothers to go to the palace to cry for his father.

When everyone was due, all the men, women, and grandchildren of the Gu family knelt beside the legendary founding emperor's bed, and Eunuch Zhang read out the will to everyone with red eyes:

"It has always been the emperor's rule of the world that he did not take respect for the ancestors of heaven as his top priority. Respecting the ancestors of heaven and ancestors is so soft and far-reaching that he can rest and nourish the common people. The interests of the world are for profit and the heart of the world is the heart. Governance is not chaotic, day and night are diligent, sleep soundly, it is a long-standing national strategy, and it is close to it. I have been in the destiny for 13 years, worrying about dangers, and working hard every day to benefit the people. Nai started from humble beginnings, and has no ancient knowledge. You know, liking good and evil is not so far away. Now that I have learned the natural principles of all things, I am so sad and sad!"

"The emperor's seventh son, Gu Baozhen, is auspicious from the sky. He is talented and intelligent, and the world is united. He is suitable for a high position. The internal and external ministers work together to assist the government. The upper and lower brothers work together to assist the court, so as to comfort our people."

"Do not use gold and jade as relics for funeral sacrifices. All the subjects of the world will mourn for three days and release their clothes. You may not remarry. When kings come to the country, they must not go to the capital. Those who are not in the order will follow this order. This is it!"

"The crown prince accepts the order." After Eunuch Zhang finished speaking, he handed the will to the crown prince who was kneeling in front.

Holding the heavy will, Gu Baozhen kowtowed down his head, his eyelashes couldn't bear the shaky tears for an instant, they slammed on his light red sleeves, and kept falling: "I accept the order!"

The author has something to say: the last part of the edict is borrowed, part of it is the edict of Kangxi's succession to the throne, and part of it is the edict of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, which has been slightly modified.
