Ben Hou is ill

Chapter 108 Adoption

Lu Chenghou only has such a son left, what can he do other than kowtow to apologize?Could it be possible to behead the only remaining son?

It was because the eldest princess knew this that she was even more angry.

Who is Gu Shize?Zhennan General Gu Shilan's only brother, old Zhennan General's most precious son.The old general Zhennan had a childhood sweetheart back then, and the two hit it off, but the childhood sweetheart was congenitally disadvantaged, and it was difficult for him to conceive. General Nan has a deep friendship, and the general's wife never made things difficult for her.After a few years, the childhood sweetheart miraculously became pregnant, and gave birth to a child prematurely.

This child was Gu Shize. After Gu Shize was born, his biological mother passed away within a few years. It was not easy to have an heir. The general's wife took the child over and raised it under her knees as her own son.

If it's just that, it's fine. Gu Shize's congenital deficiencies, lack of energy in martial arts, but his literary talents are top-notch, winning the number one scholar in the fourth year of Yuanxing is not enough.When he was in Hanlin, the memorials were written one after another, and almost every one of them could win the favor of Emperor Renzong, especially on the issue of the clan's tail.After the clan learned about it, they endured it again and again, but in the end they couldn't do it anymore, so they joined forces with the Ministry of Officials to kick Gu Shize out of Chang'an and let him out as the county magistrate.As a result, Gu Shize's career as an official outside the country has also flourished. In less than ten years, he managed to reach the position of a county lieutenant.

In the tenth year of Yuanxing, Prince Xian passed away. Emperor Renzong, in grief, decided to choose a son in the clan to succeed him.After Gu Shize, who was far away in Guangling, heard the news, he sent a memorial to Chang'an, stating the interests of the adoptive clan and distant relatives, and even added a sentence at the end: "Now the clan is strong and weak. Who did it?"

Emperor Renzong finally gave up the idea of ​​adopting from Fuli, Shenjiang and Xiangwu Wangfu, and turned to look for distant relatives, and finally picked the later Lu Wangfu.

When the clan learned about this, they gritted their teeth angrily, wishing to eat his flesh raw, and took advantage of Gu Shize's transfer to Guangling County directly.In the end, as they wished, Gu Shize died of illness in Guangling.

Compared with adoptive close relatives and adopted distant relatives, it is hard to say which one is more appropriate, but it is true that Gu Shize has received it on behalf of Emperor Renzong.

In addition, after the death of the King of Shu, the Gu family also played a vital role in dismantling the soldiers and horses left by the King of Shu. Gu Shilan even succeeded in alienating the five sons of the King of Shu.After multiple considerations, Gu Lingyi, who is an orphan, must not only live, but also live well.

Only in this way can the world know that the Tian family will never forget the hero, not even the widow of the hero.

"Your son thinks that he can handle you by virtue of his status as the only son. Do you also think that you are the elder brother of the empress dowager, the uncle of the country, and my name is not righteous, so I don't dare to abolish your title? Don't you?"

This is a heartbreaking statement, if it goes out, there will be rumors in Chang'an that the uncle Guo's family is picking up the eldest princess based on her status, and the whole Chen family will die.

Cold sweat dripped down Lu Chenghou's forehead, and the panic of being guessed was greater than the worry about his only son in an instant. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, kowtowed to the eldest princess, and cried: "I don't dare, I don't dare!" .”

"You don't dare? Your son even dares to move Gu Lingyi, why not? Like a father, like a son. If your son is like this, I don't think you are a good thing." The eldest princess only thought for a moment and said With an idea, she called the servant on duty, and said: "Draft the decree, Chen Du, the son of Lu Chenghou, is weak in limbs, ignorant in learning, lacking in virtue, and full of bad deeds. It is difficult to be a high-ranking man. He should not be the son of Lu Chenghou. Lu Chenghou has worked hard and done a lot of work. He is honest and responsible. I can't bear to be convicted because of this, so I allow my adoptive son to inherit the title."

Lu Chenghou stared blankly like a fool.

After the servant finished writing according to her words, the eldest princess read it again, then nodded, and said, "Send it to the queen mother for a seal."

Lu Chenghou finally came to his senses and cried, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Please forgive him! Your Highness!"

"I didn't kill your son. Since I dote on you so much, just stay at home and don't come out to harm other people's children." The eldest princess said coldly.

Empress Dowager Chen has long been dissatisfied with this nephew who has ruined the family's reputation. Although the Chen family has no reputation worthy of praise, it did not have a bad reputation before that. For foreign relatives, no bad reputation is the greatest good reputation.What's more, her son is now the emperor. If there is a notorious cousin, the world will only shake their heads. Now the Empress Dowager Chen only has her son in her eyes, not to mention her only nephew, even her own brother can't hinder him. If she wants to follow her son's path, whoever stands in his way will die, as long as he goes home and stays as a playboy, it is considered as humane and righteous.

She only took a few glances before using the seal, and said: "The Chen family's land is in Langya County. Although I have never been back to the family land, I heard that there are many unicorns in the family. My brother's adoptive son can choose from them."

The servant came back with the sealed imperial decree and Queen Mother Chen's oral order, and told the two people in the hall verbatim.

The eldest princess smiled, looked at Lu Chenghou with a sluggish expression, and said, "Lu Chenghou, accept the order."

Lu Chenghou moved his throat, and a smile appeared on his face full of tears. He kowtowed and said, "I accept the order, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

He knew that if he took over the decree, his only son would be doomed in this life, lacking in virtue, full of bad deeds, and difficult to take up a big job. No matter what evaluation is enough to crush a student who has not yet become an official, these few comments doomed Chen Du In this life, he can only be an ordinary person, not to mention the title of Lu Chenghou, he can't even be an official.

Even if he learns it well in the future and has a sacred decree, he is destined to be unable to turn over. The emperor's seal is on it, and the eldest princess and the empress dowager Chen speak, he can't even be an official.

But if you don't pick it up, you will die if you don't pick it up.

"Since the decree has been made, call your son home from the Imperial Academy tomorrow."

Lu Chenghou returned home in a daze with his will.

The eldest princess flipped through the booklet again, and tore off the page that read, "Chen Du used Gu Taishou's relics as evidence to ask for the matter of cloud and rain, but Gu Lingyi refused and destroyed it." It was blacked out, no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't see what was originally written here, so you called the servant who was worth the pen and ink, and said: "Copy this book again."

"Slaves take orders."

The eldest princess was relieved when the maid left. When the old Zhen Nanhou was alive, he cherished Gu Lingyi like an eyeball, and none of the grandchildren under him could get past him. Gu Shilan also raised him as his own. And because Gu Lingyi spread something ugly in Chang'an because of the evil done by his relatives, the family really felt sorry for the Gu family that day.

After the matter was properly arranged, the eldest princess wrote back to Yan Zhaoge. Although the Gu family had a reputation as early as Emperor Gaozu, after all these years, even the imperial court moved south, let alone a general.Before being appointed by Emperor Daizong, the Gu family worked as an escort agency in Shu, and later they started the Shu brocade business.The old General Zhennan has only two generations of Gu family, so it's no wonder that he was born as a merchant.The household registrations in various places are different, and Gu Lingyi's native place is Shu County. It is normal that Chang'an can't find more detailed information about Gu Lingyi.

After writing this, the eldest princess suddenly froze for a moment.

Gu Lingyi went to Yan's house as a guest?

Is it possible to stay overnight?

She hesitated again and again, worried that the identities of the Yan family and the Gu family were not ordinary, so she still didn't call the right minister into the palace in the middle of the night.

That's all, I'll ask again tomorrow morning.

After Yan Ningkang took a shower, when he returned to his room, he found that Gu Lingyi had already been sitting on the bed reading a book, even drying his hair.

"How are you so fast?"

"It's because you washed too slowly." Gu Lingyi covered her mouth with her hands and yawned.I woke up too early in the morning, and I was taught to test my skills all day long

In class, he practiced dozens of moves against Yan Hou again, and his body was already exhausted, even his eyelids were fighting.If it wasn't for the scruples about staying overnight at someone else's house, it would be unreasonable for the master to fall asleep before he came back, otherwise Gu Lingyi would be able to fall asleep as soon as he went to bed, and it would not be easy to survive until now.

"I just said a few words to my elder brother." Yan Ningkang bypassed the newly placed bed and climbed into his own bed wrapped in a quilt. He didn't feel sleepy. The four big words of "Bingzhuye Talk" have been circling in his mind for a long time.

Seeing Yan Ningkang get into the quilt, Gu Lingyi twisted the wick to make the candle light dim, before getting into the quilt.

"Gu Jiu."

"……Um?"

"Can I call you that?"

"Didn't you already call?"

Yan Ningkang thought about it, so he said: "I'm good at home, you can call me Yan San."

"I'll just call you by your first name, can you hurry up and take the name..." Gu Lingyi yawned again under the quilt, and now there is no need to cover it with her hands, "it's too rude to always call you by your name gone."

"Don't you have no sign either?"

"I'm not going to work again."

"Ah? You don't want to be an official? Why do you come to the school to study if you don't want to be an official?"

"Not everyone reads to become an official, are you stupid..."

Yan Ningkang choked for a moment, then thought about other topics, and said, "I'll compete with you when I finish my marksmanship."

"Half a head taller than me, you still have to compete with me, don't you feel ashamed, you..." Gu Lingyi rolled her eyes uncontrollably, but because her eyelids were too heavy, she didn't roll them up.

"Then how can you say it's a shame, you will definitely grow up too!"

"I can't grow up, I can't grow up..."

"Speaking of which, since you were born in the Zhennan General's Mansion, why do you say that your ancestors were merchants in Shu?"

"Before my grandfather became General Zhennan, the Gu family was in business...why do you talk so much..."

Yan Ningkang still felt that something was wrong, but Gu Lingyi was already asleep, and he couldn't drag her up to ask, and he didn't know what to ask.The brain was excited for a while, drowsiness welled up, and I slowly fell asleep.

The author has something to say: Every character has a meaning of existence.
