I was the heir in ancient times

Chapter 53 Capital┃Master Emperor Help!

Traveling in ancient times was probably a very expensive thing.

From Daoliang City to the capital, the distance is more than 900 kilometers, and the longest time required can be more than one month. Most of the journey along the way is not the majestic and spectacular scenery of mountains and rivers that Gu Baozhen imagined, and there are no beautiful mountains and rivers. Everyone walks on the official road all the way. And boring.

He passed through more than ten cities, but they only paused for a moment, and then immediately started on the road, even if he wanted to go in for a stroll.In addition to the time limit, the third brother's strict surveillance is also very effective. Once he sees him getting out of the carriage, he will pull him on the horse by the collar of his clothes, just like his father. In fact, he was not allowed to leave his sight.

Gu Xiaoqi has no objection to these excessive care, not to mention riding with his brothers these days and hearing a lot of interesting things.

For example, it turned out that the Tobu general he was terribly worried about before was actually the father of Zhu Youhu who was missing two front teeth with Lan Jiumu, the kid king!

Zhu Youhu's boy, Gu Baozhen, is not very familiar with him, but according to Fifth Brother, Zhu Youhu is usually bullying and afraid of the strong, and he often brags about how awesome his father is at the grain drying field in Daoliang City, saying that his father and Gu Xiaoqi's father are the masters Brother, and then aroused the envy and hatred of a group of children, so he was satisfied with his nostrils upturned.

Since Zhu Youhu is the only son of General Dongwu, when he thinks back to the fight with Bo Yanliang and Zhi Tong, and made Zhu Youhu cry and apologize to himself, he realizes that they were indeed reckless, making it difficult for his father and the others.

During the period, Gu Baozhen followed his mother to see the younger sister in the aunt's house.

That younger sister was wrapped tightly in summer, and her whole body was covered with prickly heat, but she still refused to reduce the amount of cloth wrapped, saying that the child's body was weak.

I dare you baba!

Fortunately, my mother's position with my aunt is not what it used to be, and what she said is more effective than the imperial decree. She said that children are prone to get sick if they wrap too much in summer. Undead, said that the cousin does not have a name yet, let the old man choose a name.

To be honest, if this wasn't Gu Xiaoqi's own aunt, he would have applauded her aunt's temperament of following the wind, climbing on poles, and getting up early without benefit!Really great!Ordinary people can't do it!

The old lady promised well on the surface, but she didn't mention half a word to the old man after returning home.

Gu Xiaoqi was puzzled by this point, so he directly asked his old lady why, and the old lady was quite straightforward, pinching his face and replied: Why do you need to trouble Shiyong for such a trivial matter, and my name is the same, your aunt will accept it of.

Gu Xiaoqi thinks it's mysterious, but as long as the old lady is happy.

Anyway, as long as he saw that his aunt and the others didn't get in the best three carriages, he would be happy.

He thought it was his old lady who refused, but later he learned from the fifth brother that the third brother directly moved the aunt's family's salute to the ordinary carriage on the day of departure, and laughed while talking, saying that the expression on the aunt's face was very good-looking!

Gossip is interesting on the way, Gu Xiaoqi likes to follow little brother Bo after listening to interesting things with his brothers, and listen to Bo Yanliang talking about the distribution of the big officials in the capital.

That is to say, do your homework in advance, so as not to get the capital, your eyes are darkened, and you don't understand anything, just like Grandma Liu entering Jia's mansion, making some small jokes for those dignitaries to read, how annoying!

Of course, it’s not interesting for him to listen alone, so he dragged the reluctant sixth brother and fourth brother over to listen together, Zhitong... Zhitong couldn’t come, although Gu Xiaoqi would still invite him as usual, But it is reasonable not to come.

According to Brother Yanliang, because most of the officials and adults in the capital are not locals, they rented more houses at the beginning. When local officials come to Beijing, they can live in designated government offices and official houses, and wait for confirmation In the future, when working in Beijing, a private house will be allocated.To the north of the capital are the private residences of high officials.

It's just that after the father ascended the throne, the deployment of officials must be re-planned. After all, so many people who fought with the father need to be canonized, but they are all military generals.

It is interesting, but Gu Xiaoqi feels that this kind of person probably knows that he will not be reused. After all, in ancient times, people who betrayed their original owners and took refuge in others would make people doubt their loyalty.

But this is just Gu Xiaoqi's own feeling, anyway, he thinks that kind of foolishness is easy to betray and cannot be reused.

Brother Yanliang also mentioned the Liu family.

The current supreme leader of the Liu family is an old man known as 'Liu Gong', who is the great-grandfather of Zhi Tong and the grandfather of his sister-in-law.Although Liu Gong is old, he is still in good health, and his students are all over the world, so he has a high prestige among scholars.

It's just that there were very few officials in the Liu family in the previous dynasty, so there was only a small editor. On the contrary, there were talents from another family, and almost all the courts had their own family members. Extinct, and hanged himself to death with the Supreme Emperor, the Liu family must be secretly happy.

The two Gu Baozhens can feel that there must be discord and struggle, but in the previous dynasty, the Dong family won and the Liu family was suppressed, so now that the old man is on the court, the Liu family must cheer up, otherwise, how could there be three times in a row? Dare to covet the position of brother's first wife?

Wait, the Liu family wanted a child with half of their own blood to be the emperor, and felt that the eldest brother was no good, so why didn't they find the second brother, instead of the third brother?

Here, Gu Baozhen suddenly couldn't figure it out, he felt that with the momentum of the Liu family, if he asked his father to change his second brother's engagement partner, maybe his father would agree.

Gu Xiaoqi felt that he was really not suitable for intrigue. If he wanted to fight, he would have no idea what the other party wanted to do, and he would be KO'd in an instant.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoqi realized that he hadn't reached a consensus with the third brother. He thought about it all the way, but he didn't know what to do to make the Liu family suffer without interfering with the third brother's freedom of love.

That's right, the Liu family is really disgusting, Gu Xiaoqi felt that if this kind of family really became the mother family of the emperor, then he didn't know whether this world belonged to the Liu family or our Gu family.

However, no matter how much Gu Xiaoqi dislikes the Liu family, after hearing too much talk about it, he understands that the Liu family, a big family, really can't move a single cent. They are not only very rich, but also have educational resources. Ordinary people will not be accepted as students if they don’t recommend them. Their collection of books is private to them, and their knowledge is also private. It’s like a master who makes secret sauces, so they won’t disclose themselves casually. The unique formula, the ancient people valued their ancestral things very much, which is actually the reason why the poor will always be poor and the nobles will always be rich.

It's just that Gu Xiaoqi is very curious about what kind of educational resources they hold. Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, such things as the Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames should not be held?

Of course, Gu Xiaoqi didn't ask clearly, what he asked was if Mr. Bo and Mr. Liu had a competition, who would be more knowledgeable?

The answer was very controversial, because they hadn't tried it before, so Gu Xiaoqi didn't get the answer, but was very surprised to learn that there is no Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Three Hundred Tang Poems in this world!

Although this is a superficial ancient times, but it is really space!At that time, if necessary, Gu Xiaoqi said that if he recites some ancient quatrains casually, it will be famous in history!But... so what... What is the first sentence of Shu Road Difficulty?

Gu Xiaoqi, who always felt that he was going to the capital to fight the arrogant family and kicked the hero, spent 25 days of boring days on the road with his brothers and Bo Yanliang in a daze.

Finally, on the day when he gnawed on a big bun and knocked out his first front tooth, he heard the third brother and the fifth brother shouting loudly: "Seven dogs! Come out! The capital is ahead! Come out and sit in front of the third brother!"

Gu Xiaoqi was so excited that he hurried out of the carriage, while the old lady immediately lifted the curtain of the window, and said anxiously beside her, "Hey, third child, hold on tight! Don't fall!"

The third child of the Gu family was riding a red horse today, wearing a dark red and black round-neck gown, full of vigor, straight shoulders, long legs between the horse, a pair of black-soled golden boots on his feet, and a silver hair crown on his head. The man is simply unstoppable, more like a cynical, cynical and unrestrained villain!

The villain's third brother was facing him with another dragon claw, grabbed the horse, kicked the horse's belly with both feet, overtook the carriage that was moving at a constant speed, and headed straight for the city gate in front of him!

The fifth brother rode a horse and chased after them, jumping around like a monkey, Gu Xiaoqi didn't care about his current image, he exposed the small hole where a tooth was missing, smiled and pointed The city gate seemed to be very lively and said: "Let's go to the front! There are a lot of people over there!"

The youngest of the Gu family smiled and said, "Okay, sit still! Let's go after dad!"

The motorcade was very long, and it seemed that the father and Mr. Bo had arrived at the front of the line early. At first, Gu Xiaoqi thought that the gates of the city were full of people who welcomed the father. They were soldiers, common people, and officials, just like the old father and the others When going to Daoliang City, Old General Li led the whole city to welcome his father.

But who knows that as the distance gets closer and closer, the crowds gathered at the gate of the city and outside the city gradually reveal their true colors, so where are the happy people lining the road to welcome them? !Those were tens of thousands of poor refugees who rushed out crying from all directions and from the city, knelt and kowtowed on both sides! ! !

The refugees and the high officials knelt together, and one of them shouted: "My lord, help me!"

One party shouted: "Congratulations, my lord, to return to Beijing!"

Countless rescues and welcomes are mixed together to form a magical and realistic disaster symphony:

The famine has begun.
