Clam Pearl

Ten years of Tiancheng, winter and February, and two divisions of Chenshi.

Lord Xiaojun woke up early, spent an hour dressing up, had a hasty breakfast, and took the new boy out.

I don't know what kind of tendons have moved today. Gu Zhao is wearing a black brocade and gold inlaid ruby ​​hat top hat, a green woven gold unicorn velvet robe, a white jade bamboo belt around his waist, and Liuyun on his left. Baifu jade, on the right is a sapphire sachet, plus an azure ramie silk crane cloak, and powder-soled soap boots under her feet. For a while, I couldn't figure out what the owner meant. When I was trying to figure it out, I just heard the young master say:

"What are you looking at? Go tell the person in front that I've gotten into trouble and ask him to help me."

Xizai originally wanted to tell Xinzai not to stay with his master in the cold, but Gu Zhao jumped into the sedan chair and flew away.Followed by a crowd of followers.

Today, they were very ostentatious, they took out everything that could be taken out of the house, and even the generals at home had ordered soldiers early in the morning, and followed them out in armor.

There have been old rules in Shangjing since ancient times, and no officials, guards of honor, and swords and soldiers can be moved.

But who is Gu Zhao? He got up early in the morning, found a study on the side, opened a row of printing boxes, chose two pleasing seals, and stamped two blank orders.

He didn't know what kind of trouble he was going to cause when he went out, in short, he was uncomfortable, and he just wanted to find a way to get rid of this stasis.

The team of his family came out, roaring like a rebellion, and headed towards Pingzhou Alley.

Pedestrians on the street retreated and looked sideways, guessing whose master is such a big battle, is there any excitement today?Seeing a group of people swaggering through the market, they went straight to the gate of Guozi School and stopped.

Gu Zhao stopped the sedan chair, but didn't go in. It's just after early school, and there are quite a few people, and today it's the public class of the old man Jin Shanzhu, so there are three groups inside and three groups outside, whether it's real or not, A lot of literati and nobles were brought together.

The old man Jinshan's bell-like voice came from inside, and he laughed very heartily and wildly.

Gu Zhao lifted his chin in the sedan chair, and said to the other side: "They will come today, keep an eye on me, it's almost there, call me to go."

Xinzai responded outside, and the pair roared and continued to run towards Pingzhou Alley.

When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, the ostentation of this group of people startled them all. Fortunately, Fu Ji had been waiting here a long time ago and said hello in advance, so they were reassured.

Gu Zhao got out of the sedan chair, twisted his neck and looked around, saw someone peeping indistinctly at the entrance of the alley, so he pointed there and said, "Don't care who it is, lock him up first, and wait for something to happen." It's over, let me go..."

Fu Ji nodded. This guy's eyes and tricks have always been fierce, and he went out today with a lot of momentum, so this master also waved his hand, and another group roared out from the small lane next to the gatehouse of the Duke's Mansion.

Stretching out his hand and tugging at his sleeves, Gu Zhao looked at his students: "I brought our little troupe with me, are you listening to me, or what?"

Fu Ji shook his head, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, so he would rather wait outside the door.

"Students should wait here, sir."

Gu Zhao nodded, turned around and entered through the side door of the Duke's Mansion.

This early in the morning, except for those who need to go to court, the whole family got the news quietly last night, cried secretly at home all night, and couldn't get up.

Su's just had some breakfast, the beam at home was broken, her heart was shaking, and she was rushing her husband to go out the next day, and she shed tears while packing her luggage until the end of the Yin hour.

When I got up this morning and saw it, I was really shocked. The two red phoenix eyes turned into blister eyes, but it was terrible. The old lady was kept a secret from the family. She had to serve anyone who didn't go to see her. In this way, She murmured in the room trying to reduce the swelling, and was in a hurry, but Xiao Qishu got up early in the morning and came to the door.

Running all the way out to meet her, Gu Zhao raised his eyes and saw the corner of her eyes, without stopping, told her as he walked, "Just say that I scolded you at the door, and I dislike you for being too loose..."

Grandpa Tian, ​​this is life-saving, Su quickly agreed, and sent the little uncle all the way to the gate of the old lady's courtyard.

Elderly people feel less sleepy, Lu Shi woke up early, it's strange to say, last night Lu Shi dreamed of a six-year-old urchin, and she played on the swing all night, when she woke up early, she still talked to the big girl next to her, feeling that the house There must be something happy in here recently.

The big girl asked in detail, the old lady was afraid that her dream would be ruined, so she kept her mouth shut with a smile on her face, and asked someone to withdraw ten guan, and sent the old mother who was an official in the house to go to a temple outside the city.

After giving up the money, the old lady felt as if she had received a letter of guarantee from a Bodhisattva. She ate half a bowl of rice extra for breakfast, making everyone in the house happy. show off?

The old lady was about to send someone to ask, but she didn't want to, but it was said outside the house that the Seventh Master from the mansion had come.

Lu Shi flickered for a moment, and when he looked up, Gu Zhao had already wandered into the yard, and when he looked at his clothes again, Lu Shi felt at ease.

She smiled and asked, "Which gust of wind brought you here?"

Gu Zhao also smiled: "Sister-in-law, the Qingchun troupe in my garden had a new play yesterday, and it looked pretty good to me. No, it just so happens that I have business at noon, so I came early!"

Lu Shi was very happy, pointing at him and cursing with a smile: "Your brother always said that you have grown up, but I said that you are still young, so you shouldn't be divided into households. Look, you can't hold on anymore, you are still childish." , how can anyone go to the theater early in the morning?"

Gu Zhao acted coquettishly: "Then do you want to watch it or not?"

The old lady shook her head helplessly, with the air of coaxing the children all over her body: "Look, look! Just look, let's go, go to Guangde Hall?"

Gu Zhao nodded, and supported his sister-in-law with his own hands. The uncle and sister-in-law strolled to the Guangde Hall, which has an indoor theater.

Watching a play this morning was quite new. It was really the first time for Lu Shi to grow up so big.

When their uncle and sister-in-law arrived at the place, all the little plays brought by Gu Zhao were still performing.

Lu Shi then asked Gu Zhao: "What's it like to come out? Tell your sister-in-law first."

Gu Zhao took the teacup brought by the girl beside him, drank it, and talked about the play at the same time.

"It is said that there are two poor old ladies living in a village, one is happy to know the destiny, and the other is always complaining..."

Lu Shi then interjected: "Hey, when you are old, you can do what your children like, but you dare not complain. If you complain too much, they will run away..."

Gu Zhao smiled and nodded: "No."

Lu waited for him to continue.

Gu Zhao continued: "Early in the morning, this old lady, who knows her fate, carried the wooden basin to the water to wash her clothes. Unexpectedly, the clothes hammer fell into the water. The old lady saw that the clothes hammer fell into it. So I said, oh, this is destined..."

Lu Shi nodded: "No, when something happens, I don't dare to think about it. It should be like this when I get older. If you lose it, you lose it. You go on..."

"The mallet fell into the river. Not long after, a narcissus came out of the river..."

"Is this a male fairy, or a female fairy? Could it be that this fairy admired the old lady for knowing her fate, so she brought him a child?"

Gu Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, covered his mouth with his fist, coughed twice, and said, "No, it's a fairy, and the fairy held up a golden clothes pounding mallet and asked the old lady, aunt, aunt, what is this mallet like?" your……"

In order to make the old lady happy, Gu Zhao racked his brains all night to come up with a play. He originally wanted to make a play called "A Good Fortune", but then thought about it, it was too serious, why not make a deformed "Golden Axe".

There are many changes in the story. It probably means that people, you have to accept the misfortunes in life with a happy mood, but you don’t want to. Even Ah Run watched this drama that was changed overnight, and wrote a lot of libretto along with it. .

I had a hard time last night, and thanks to having something to do, I relieved myself a little, and took care of myself.

The old brother is over 70, and the dementia is dementia. The main thing is that there is an old sister-in-law at home. This vaccination must be done well, otherwise the old lady is too old to handle it, and she will really die. .

This story is novel, there is no such thing as a gifted man or a beautiful woman, but it actually teaches people to be better and to do well. The old lady heard the novelty, and happily waited for the play to begin...

Not long after, there was a sound of the toothbrush over there, and the two opera actors in old-fashioned appearance started babbling...

Gu Zhao accompanied the old lady to watch several folds. Fortunately, the theater troupe in his mansion were all trained by Gu Maobing, and the performances on the stage of the new play were also vivid. For a while, Gu Zhao saved this Swollen eyes all over the house.

Tiancheng ten years, winter February, the first moment of noon.

Xinzai rushed from outside the mansion, quietly entered Guangde Hall, and whispered a few words into Gu Zhao's ear. Gu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the old sister-in-law. Had a chicken soup class.

In this way, Gu Zhao felt relieved. He stood up quietly, went to the side hall and changed into a six-beam crown. He wore a red dress with a big belt, a rhino horn leather belt, and a big ribbon. In order to look solemn, he even fluttered slightly. some powder.

Gu Zhao doesn't like to go to court, and he rarely wears the official uniform of the chief officer of Qian Ding Division of the second rank in front of others.

Also because of this reason, everyone in Shangjing seldom regards this dandy as the chief official of a yamen.

After putting on the official uniform, Gu Zhao took the blank imperial edict from one side, and after adding two edicts with a pen, he got on the sedan chair again, and was carried all the way to the Imperial Prison by outsiders.

Tiancheng ten years, winter in February, at two quarters of the noon.

Since Lord Jinshan came to Beijing, this gentleman has brought a ray of light that illuminates the earth. He will hold one or two courses at Guozixue every month. There is no threshold for this course. As long as you have the status of a scholar, you can Come and listen.

With a heavyweight teacher like Master Jinshan giving lectures, no matter officials, dignitaries, aristocratic families, or scholars in Beijing and China, they are all very supportive. Although I dare not say that there are huge crowds, every time a class starts, at least three 500 people can gather people.

Among the 500 people, those who often sit in the first row are the sons and daughters of phoenixes and dragons.

Anyway, if you like learning or not, everyone will come to take a front row seat and give yourself a reputation of being eager to learn.

Jinshang has a simple temperament, to put it bluntly, he is lonely and weird.

How weird is he?Let's put it this way, before the Liang Dynasty, countless emperors died in this land, and people died, leaving some official history and unofficial history.Since the first emperor, I have never seen such a simple emperor.

The ministers all knew that from the early years of the Liang Dynasty to the present, the first emperor and the second emperor were not frugal. They were extravagant, and they forced out an emperor who did not have the momentum of the Tian family.

I am ashamed to say that today I was enthroned and sat on the dragon chair. There are countless celebrations in the palace.

As an emperor, each meal today is only about five guan, and he has been on the throne for ten years, and he has made countless dragon robes.

Simplicity doesn't count today, he can't control the ministers, so he is extremely strict with his two sons born in the first place. These two highnesses live in an inconspicuous house in the capital. Apart from the servants stipulated in the etiquette law, there is no one more in the family. .

He ate five guan in one meal today, his son naturally did not dare to exceed this number, sometimes even half of it.

Speaking of it, the two highnesses are ugly in private because they are forced by this miserable and simple life. They are not as good as the concubine King Yan. They are destined to fail anyway. Naturally, they want to live as much as they want, and what they want to do Just do whatever.

Today, Xu feels guilty towards his youngest son, and often publicly compensates his youngest son, and even gave King Yan a fief early, cutting off his way to the throne.

On the surface, the two His Royal Highnesses who were descended from the direct line are both noble blood, gentle tempered, studious and simple, and quite capable. Regarding this, His Majesty is also very hesitant, and often whispers this and that to the ministers in private.

The same goes for these two, on the surface it looks like they let Zao push pears, and they love Jiang Gong, but inside they have turned their faces and quarreled.

Now, when Master Jinshan starts classes, the two Highnesses naturally come every time and sit in the first row.

After today's class, the two His Highnesses first sent Master Jinshan away respectfully, and after discussing with the scholars in the school about the content of today's lecture, they walked out slowly.

The two Highnesses are both wearing common clothes and wooden clogs today, but they are the sons and daughters of phoenixes and dragons, who would dare to pass them, so these two are the second batch to leave the school.

When a group of people surrounded the two highnesses and came to the gate of Guozixue, they were dumbfounded.

For nothing else, the entrance of the Guozi Academy is like singing a big opera, and Master Gu Zhaogu of the Qianding Division is like setting up a stage, setting up a small living room opposite the school.

He was sitting on the grand teacher's chair beside him, holding a golden sunflower tureen in his hand, and was drinking one mouthful at a time.

Later, when he saw the two righteous masters come out, more and more people gathered at the door. Hundreds and ten people crowded at the door of Guozixue to confront him. Obviously, the people on the other side were quite shocked, and they all stood there stunned.

Gu Zhao saw that there were more and more people, so he put down the sunflower cups, and took the water basins carried by the four maids, washed his hands, cleaned them, wiped them dry, and lubricated them with oil.

After doing all this, Gu Zhaocai stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to hold the two orders on the table, lifted them up, and said loudly to the group of people opposite him as he walked:

"My master has said it! In this world, there are only fathers and sons, monarchs and ministers. Others are in the deep palace. Although they are lonely, they still have eyes and ears! Some things, he knows, and some things, he can't bear to say, I don't want to chase after him, his heart hurts, he feels uncomfortable, my lord is just a father too!

A certain is not, a certain is a courtier!Eat the king's salary, loyal to the king!A master who is affectionate must also have a subject like me who does not recognize six emotions!Come on! "

Gu Zhao gave an order, and more than 30 soldiers, large and small, came from there. These soldiers pulled the two chief stewards of Prince Lu's Mansion and Sishui Prince's Mansion out of the crowd.

These two, who were just watching the excitement with their heads propped up, didn't want to be dragged out like this and pressed to the ground. Only then did they react and shouted: "Your Highness, help!"

The two princes looked blank, then angry, they were about to say something, but they didn't want to, but the county prince on the opposite side waved his hands with a sarcasm, and slowly pulled two prison cars past the end of the street.

There was a man and a woman pulled in the car. They were hung in the prison car and tied up, with a rag stuffed in their mouth.

Gu Zhao sneered, and still said loudly: "If I were you two, I wouldn't say anything!"

After finishing speaking, he said to the prison car: "In this world, there must be some reason! Look! You can't scare anyone to death!"

He waved his hand without looking back after finishing speaking, and said flatly: "Kill him!"

As soon as the words fell, four big men came to the middle of the ground with steel whips that were long and barbed, and slapped the big butler of the two houses on the ground...
