May you live in peace

Chapter 44 Chapter 44

Not long ago, the story of the eldest princess reprimanding the ministers and the sons of the ministers during the Lotus Appreciation Festival was spread, and the common people chatted a lot more after dinner.Some people can't help lamenting the hypocrisy of human nature, and those great talents who have been widely circulated are just a layman, intoxicated with wine and sex.Many people also feel sorry for the eldest princess who is dedicated to the country, but the officials are greedy for pleasure. Rumors spread quickly, and many ministers are ashamed because of this. Go to the palace gate and wait.

What Gao Shan didn't expect was that he was said to be an infatuated person in the mouths of the people.After what she said to Xiao Fu was spread to the market, many people didn't care that she lacked the ambition that a man should have, but they praised her for not going with the world, and caring for her wife, as a model of a good man.

For this reason, some colleagues came to visit, one is to apologize for the Lotus Appreciation Festival, and the other is to get closer to themselves.Gao Shan did not refuse anyone who came, but he only joked with them, saying that he was an official in the same dynasty, and they should jointly assist those in power today.Of course these colleagues understood what the son-in-law meant, and there was no reason for her words. The person in charge is now Yin Xi in the court. Seeing Gao Shan's leisurely appearance, these colleagues also called each other 'natural'.

When sending these people away, Gao Shan asked his servants to give each of them a gift. Seeing that the son-in-law valued him so much and was courteous to him, these officials and children couldn't help thinking whether to make it clear to their father that they would choose the eldest princess.

Looking at the leaving carriage, Gao Shan took a breath, thinking that Yin Xijin Palace is not in the mansion today, so he decided to go to Mu Mansion.

The Mu Mansion is as quiet and peaceful as ever, like a paradise on earth, few ordinary people step into it.

The servants were going to report to Dou Lian, but Gao Shan declined politely, saying that it is better to go in and look for him by himself, these people are familiar with Gao Shan and have a very good relationship, so they bowed and left.

In the past few days, I heard from the boss that Da Zi didn't see anyone wandering in Mufu anymore.Gao Shan was a little worried at first, not knowing what these people wanted to do, but then she thought that Lao Dou was not an ordinary person, and she could vaguely feel that there were masters in the house, so she relaxed a little.

"Yi'er, tighten the thread a little, or it will fall down."

In the garden, Feng Yao taught Ma Yi to fly a kite, but Ma Yi's movements were a little stiff, and the kite fell down. Seeing this, Feng Yao stepped forward, took her hand from behind, and taught her hand in hand.

Turning around and seeing Gao Shan not far away, Feng Yao let go of her movements, put the kite aside, and led Ma Yi forward.

"Why is Brother Shan here?"

"Come and meet Elder Dou."

Seeing that the two of them are intimate, and it has changed a lot compared to the first time they met, and thinking that they are having a good time in Mufu, she is also much relieved.

"Elder Dou and Secretary Li are both in the Book Pavilion, let me take Brother Shan there."

"I'll go there by myself, Ayao can play with Miss Ma."

Turning to look at Ma Yi, seeing her staring at him with a deep expression, Gao Shan was a little puzzled, but saw her look away and stare at Feng Yao.

"Let's go together, I just want to find Yabai and talk to her about the matter."

Gao Shan nodded, and the three of them went to Shuge.

Gao Shan likes this book collection pavilion, it contains almost all kinds of books and rare books that the former emperor Mu Changfeng spent his whole life looking for, as well as some manuscripts and scrolls of the emperor Mu, it is really overwhelming.

Li Da and Yabai were drawn by Dou Lao to work as coolies, seeing that these two people had to quarrel every time they saw each other, Dou Lao didn't mind the quarrel.But thinking that the Library Pavilion hadn't been taken care of for a long time, I asked these two people to come over to help.

When Gao Shan entered, Dou Lian saw her and hurried forward.

"A-Shan is here. I thought that since A-Shan became a son-in-law, he wouldn't recognize this Mufu."

"Mr. Dou, is this trying to break me?"

The two joked for a while before Dou Lian asked her why she came. After thinking that there were no outsiders around, she opened her mouth.

"I don't know if Elder Dou has ever noticed that someone has been wandering around the Mufu recently."

Dou Lian straightened his expression, but nodded his head and said.

"Naturally, I didn't expect Ah Shan to know."

"Well, I took in some little beggars and asked them to help pay attention to the Mufu. Someone told me that someone had inquired about the Mufu not long ago."

Dou Lian was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gao Shan to be so smart, he actually raised some beggars.

"Indeed, but you don't have to worry. I know who they are, but I don't know their purpose, so I let them visit Mufu at night, but I feel that they didn't find what they wanted. However, you can rest assured , they dare not touch the Mufu."

"Elder Dou knows these people?"

"Ah."

"Can you tell me?"

"Ah Shan, you don't have to be so polite. In fact, it's not impossible to say it. However, you are only contaminated with the government after all, and you don't understand many things."

"Then ask Elder Dou to enlighten me."

Seeing Takasugi's respectful look, he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, said with a long sigh of relief.

"These people were all sent by Jiao Tianao."

Gao Shan was taken aback, Jiao Tianao?What is he doing.

Seeing her lowering her eyebrows in thought, Dou Lian patted her on the shoulder, and then continued.

"Jiao Tian'ao is not as simple as the world imagines. I have followed Master Mu all my life and watched Jiao Tian'ao grow up, but I have never been able to see through him. I know that Jiao Tian'ao values ​​you, but you can't relax your vigilance. deep."

Dou Lian's expression was very serious, Gao Shan didn't know how to reply.Jiao Tianao is a special existence just like himself, none of them are from this world, and Jiao Tianao is entrusted by the destiny, what is he planning?And myself, who should I trust?

"Mr. Dou, can you tell me about the National Teacher?"

"Of course, but it's a little far away."

"It's okay, Mr. Dou can say something casually."

Seeing her expression eager to know something, Dou Lian thought about it before saying leisurely.

"Back then, Tianshi Yinjiao traveled all over the world, and found a baby on the top of Tianshan Mountain. This baby was born to laugh, and survived in the snow. After divination, Tianshi learned that this person is the chosen one. In the future, the son of Master Mu will inherit the position of Emperor Mu and contribute to the country of Hao. The Heavenly Master entrusts this child to the upbringing of Emperor Mu. Master Mu thinks that he is picked up by the Heavenly Master, and that he is favored and bestowed by the heavens. Let’s name him Jiao Tianao.”

"The appearance of Jiao Tian'ao is different, because he was born in a snow-capped mountain, and the world has rumored that he is a boy bestowed by God with a noble status. The late emperor specially recruited him into the palace, and his status is comparable to that of a prince."

Dou Lian paused for a while, her eyes were deep but her emotions were suppressed, as if an emotion was about to burst out.

"Emperor Mu gave him what he had learned all his life, but he was the first person to stand up and openly oppose the emperor."

"What do you mean?"

"Emperor Mu wanted to support Yin Qi, the prince of the late emperor, to become emperor, but Jiao Tianao was the first to stand up against the emperor's decision and support Yin Ran. Soon after, the emperor died of illness."

"Dead of illness? Could it be related to Jiao Tianao?"

"I don't know, no one knows. Back then, the emperor's teacher was not in Beijing, and I was left in the Mufu to deal with things. Not long after Yin Ran ascended the throne, the emperor's teacher went. But I always thought that maybe Jiao Tianao had something to do with it, but , who would doubt him? He is the emperor's apprentice."

After hearing this, Gao Shan fell into deep thought. It stands to reason that Jiao Tian'ao's identity is to assist the ruler of the dynasty. His lifespan has been unlimited, and he is a person chosen by heaven. He lacks almost everything, so why would he want to covet anything in this world?She didn't know, nor did she understand Jiao Tianao.

Listening to Elder Dou's words, he is almost the person Yin Ran trusts the most. Without Jiao Tian'ao, Yin Ran's dynasty would not exist.Now that the emperor is weak and doesn't deal with government affairs, it is natural for Jiao Tianao to assist Yin Xi, but Gao Shan always feels that Jiao Tianao and Xi's expressions are different from other people's when they talk, as if they are trying to accomplish something, and they also have Some kind of guilt, and a depth she couldn't understand.

"Mr. Dou, where do you put these books?" Li Da walked towards Dou Lian with a large stack of books in his arms. When he saw Gao Shan, he greeted Gao Shan happily, saying that the two of them would not return today if they were drunk. .

Gao Shan nodded in agreement, looked at the books in his hand and helped him get some.

"Let's put it in the west, these should be the notes left by the emperor."

The two moved the books to the attic to the west, and when Takasugi put the books up, one of the books fell down.It was covered with scratches and dust, and was glued to the side of the book with a small seal, but due to the age, the small seal was torn apart by the gravity of the fall, and Takasugi saw the words "The 39 Years of Shengding" written on it. , Absolutely. 'There is also a very faint writing on the top, like 'true'.Thinking of the reign title of the first emperor was Shengding, 39 years, isn't this the year when the first emperor died suddenly?

Gao Shan stayed in Mufu for a while, and read the books in the bookstore every day, but he rarely read the notes left by the former emperor. He thought that if nothing happened recently, he would come to Mufu again to learn about the past.

After putting the book back, the two went to see Mr. Dou again. After chatting for a while, they were pestered by Li Da to drink, and the whole morning was wasted like this.
