Clam Pearl

Gu Zhao really didn't want to be subject to these noises, what could he do if Dingying and the others couldn't do it?How old is he?

He looked back and forth at these well-dressed old things, and seeing their solemn expressions, he knew that today was a dangerous situation, and on this side, he had to suffer or not.

After so many years, it was the first time that this group of sparrows served it as a dish, but this dish was not delicious!

Gu Zhao already had a bottom line in his heart, and his bottom line was to take care of his own bowl and do what he could do. He would never touch the court, political affairs, or courtier appointments.

He would not be able to live a comfortable life now if he crossed any of the three at will.

Thanks to his fortitude, after so many years of persistence, the relationship between him and A Run is also very well managed, without any bumps in the slightest.

That is a real emperor, not the startled emperor shown in TV dramas!

Furthermore, TV dramas are not unreasonable. Although the plot writers in TV dramas are ordinary people, their brains are different from ordinary people, and they can be sliced ​​into fantasies like they are the emperor.

As for the emperor, no matter how good the relationship is, it must be different from normal people. Avoiding some things and pretending to be deaf and dumb is good for everyone.

Now it's all right, this group of juniors kowtowed, what kind of welfare is this making a fuss about?

Gu Zhaoben supported them with both hands and told them to get up, these few people are just amazing!

Well, if you can afford it, you can afford it, and the master will not help you!

Gu Zhao sauntered back to the table, threw off a shoe, and stepped on the stool with one foot, pretending not to see this, he even picked up tea and drank it.

Seeing that Gu Zhao wasn't fooled, these guys were very happy.

That Ding Ying sighed, pointed at Gu Zhao, and said with a smack of his mouth: "Tell me, after all, it's a family, this little Gu Yan who looks like a rascal! Pretending to be confused, this is your family!"

He gave a thumbs up, but Gu Zhao laughed and didn't think so. He put down the teacup, pointed at Gu Maode and said, "Don't talk nonsense, maybe Maode was picked up? This is an honest child."

Gu Maode was embarrassed, what did you say?Why implicate him?

Ding Ying earnestly moved from the couch to Gu Zhao's side, and said very affectionately, "I'm talking about seventh brother, so it doesn't matter how much you suffer?"

Gu Zhao laughed: "It's better to be with you! Isn't it just a few heads? I can really bear it. Kowtow, just treat it as the Chinese New Year. After a while, I will ask their family to marry a New Year's purse. I am not short of money!"

Dingying and the others immediately grinned happily together.

After laughing, he called Haidao: "This matter is troublesome, come on, let's be honest, old seven... these juniors, that's what we mean, and they will be like that in the future, no embarrassment The embarrassing things are all there... I just have to suffer slowly.

I'm not hiding it from you, I'm not forcing you to do something, just...you are an elder, they give you a few points that you deserve!

Furthermore, you can ask Maode, back then your brother had intended to go down, and Maode was the same at that time, your brother took him and Maochang to kowtow from door to door, we still have to accept their gift!Now, his father is confused, you ask him whether our brothers outside the family care about him or not?Come on, Maud, say it! "

Gu Maode was kneeling in the first row. He raised his face to look at his seventh uncle. He was both wronged and ashamed and said: "It was like this back then. My father wanted to come back from the border patrol, so he signed up. Seventh uncle, at home These years... I have troubled a few uncles, uncles..."

This is what it means to have been making trouble for a long time, Tuogu!

understood!

Gu Zhao suddenly realized and nodded, "That's it, but who am I? Brothers, count them up, there is no seat for me in the pavilion, no nest for me in Liubu, and I am not Do you know what I can do? Could it be that they will kill people and set fire tomorrow just because I have suffered a few heads...Come on, you can just pretend that I didn't come, whether it's Maode or Maochang! I have no ability and owe a lot There is no reason for an uncle to pay a debt to a nephew in the world!"

After speaking, Gu Zhao stood up to leave.

But he didn't expect that Chang Guo Gong Qi Yuanjing who was next to him grabbed him, and pushed him back again coaxing and coaxing him like an old brother.

Naturally, Dingying knew Gu Zhao's bad temper, and when he saw Gu Zhao sitting down, he was relieved. This was not Gu Yan. Most of all, he is a person who can't draw out his shortcomings even if he wants to be picky.

What's more, it's impossible to say that everyone has the slightest relationship with his family in terms of family contacts, but what's the use of Gu Maode?Don't talk about being a generation late, the talent depends there, that's all!

The old Gu's family, from the first to the seventh, talk about their minds and skills... Even the youngest one, the title of the family was earned by himself, and no one asked anyone else.

Now they have nothing to do with relying on them. Who said that someone has a high title and real power!

Ding Ying stretched out two hands full of age spots, patted her thighs twice and sighed: "To tell you the truth, brother, we didn't want to bother you, but after thinking about it, who should we ask? People are unreliable, so is it possible to ask outsiders?

You are a straightforward person, so we won't play this roundabout thing anymore. We just want to ask you to give them a name under the prince's family. Now I understand that no one will burn incense at that time, only you, my brother, have been there for many years. Dealing with Yan Wang like a day, hey!Who would have thought that yours was the first high-spirited person in the mountain gate, or you ran to the front by your own ability! "

He gave a thumbs up again, with a look of admiration.

"Hey... a few of us also missed our hands. We didn't lay a good foundation for the children. We can't compare to you."

Gu Zhao didn't like to follow up on these words, he laughed and said, "I said that old brother's words are meaningless. Before Qian Ding Si didn't do it, the matter of Qian Ding was put in two courts... What is it? It’s all for the landlord’s family to do the work, but there is a piece of saline-alkali land that no one likes to plow. I plowed it, and now the field is fat... that’s how it is..."

Seeing that he was going to say something ugly, Ding Ying immediately changed his words and said: "Brother, brother, don't worry too much. In fact, we are just parents in the world, but we don't trust them. Our family has been friends for several lifetimes. Let’s not talk about past lives and future lives, let’s just say that we were not outsiders until the eighty lives of our ancestors, right…”

Gu Zhao choked on these words even without drinking tea, he raised his fist to the edge of his mouth and coughed a few times, then laughed again.

In this room, Gu Maode is probably the only one who understands why he is smiling, and everyone else is puzzled, thinking, what is wrong with this little county prince?

Seeing that Gu Zhao was not messed up, Dingying smiled and continued to be kind: "I said brother, it seems like last month, they said they saw the prince sauntering towards your door after dinner..."

Gu Zhao scolded a few words in his heart, but explained with a smile: "The crown prince was like this earlier, then he was still King Yan, and besides, the two families have been neighbors for many years, and His Highness is only Qian Ding Si Na An idea, now that it's over there, I want to let go, the prince... After all, he is a hardworking man, he can't sit down at home even after he's busy during the day, but I know him better, he's the most hardworking man, right now Lina didn't rub the sand at all..."

This is true, the brothers in the room nodded and praised the prince.

Finally, Qi Yuanjing said: "Come on! Don't talk nonsense, and now they are still kneeling, you just have to bear a few heads. From now on, these will be your dear nephews.

No!After three to five days, we have all discussed it, and we are ready to go down together. There is a saying that one dynasty is the emperor and one courtier, and the truth will be the same after ten thousand years. It's annoying, and I won't hide it from you, calling them here is entrusting you to walk your way to heaven... Lao Qi!For the sake of your ancestors, you have to take care of this matter! "

Yo, it sounds like they are going down?If you go down, you will retire and return to your hometown, which is a good thing!Ah Run is hating this!

Gu Zhao looked at Ding Ying, and Ding Ying stroked his beard and smiled, "The papers for the old man are all written."

Gu Zhao made sure: "Really?"

Hou Huanhai hurriedly said: "Hey, can you be careless about this matter? After all, we are only a few princes. Although we are not as good as you, we are still worthy of a lifetime. It's decided! It's decided! The booklet is also prepared , I also discussed it with my family, and explained it to the juniors..."

Gu Zhao nodded, feeling instantly satisfied. If a few of them go down, these juniors will make arrangements, and it will not be a problem. After all, they are also the positions of the three princes, and it is a good deal to exchange the future of the second and third generations.

Gu Zhao relaxed. What was the matter? He told Yuan Xiu that the family was short of manpower and coolies anyway.

Of course, even though it was a matter of one sentence for him, Gu Zhao stood up as if he was in a dilemma, and started to circle around the room with his hands behind his back...

The room was quiet, Dingying and the others didn't say a word, there was no way, what happened to King Yan was an accident, of course it wasn't that they didn't send people there in the early years, but now these people haven't practiced yet, so they are really not very useful.

These are all descendants of the family, so they naturally need to find key people to support them, so that they can stand in key positions in the future. They have been thinking about it for the past few days, but in the end, it turned out that the seventh child of the Gu family came out.

Look at other people, after doing a package of good things, today I don't like the one with the prince, and I don't value the other.

Really, several generations of the old Gu's family, I'm afraid their hearts and minds have grown on this person.

Gu Zhao thought for a while, then turned around and said honestly: "It can be arranged...but I don't care how to endure it, just take my Maode as an example, honest man, with a solid wood core, he just endures it, and that's it!"

When Gu Maode heard this, his face turned red immediately.

Dingying was overjoyed, sat up and called Gu Zhao to go, but Gu Zhao didn't go, and stood still.

Ding Ying smiled and added good words to Maode: "Don't blame him, he has his own difficulties, and if he doesn't look at you, he will look at your elder brother's face, man, it's better to be honest, at least not to cause trouble."

Gu Zhao nodded, sighed and nodded: "...I just need to support the horse, as for how far they run, that's up to them."

The people in the room were overjoyed when they heard that, Qi Yuanjing said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's exactly how it should be, our family should be like this! Helping each other is a century-old strategy!"

After finishing speaking, he began to put on a show and reprimanded his descendants: "Your little uncle seems to be younger than some of you, but you can see what he has been like these years? It's not that I praised him in person, but that he has several brothers in his family to help , but he cares about who is not living as a family! Now you look at how many years it has been, and his dignity is actually inferior to those of us who have been in power for many years..."

Gu Zhao blushed a little, and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?"

Hou Huanhai also nodded and said: "Hey... why can't you say it! They were born in wealth and grew up in wealth. Some of them know that their parents have worked hard, so they don't cause trouble for the family at least. What is owed to him, the entire city of Shangjing is ignored except for the emperor and their father."

Gu Maode and the others quickly said together that they dare not.

Hou Huanhai sneered: "Don't you dare? Don't say that. The old man has been suffering in the Ministry of Justice for these years. What kind of secret do you have? You only think that you are smart, and no one knows?" He put down his hands heavily. With the coiled beads in his hand, he stood up and walked in front of these juniors, bent down and threatened: "That's us old immortals who don't like to care about it. If you can cover it up for you, we will see who cares about you in the future!"

There are people whose heads are lowered even further.

Later, Huan Hai turned around and clasped his fists at Gu Zhao, saying, "Lao Qi, I won't mention the other thing, bro, once our booklet is up, only you and Lao Qi will be left to support each other. There are so many complicated ups and downs in the five families. , You are right, get on the horse, and let them jump around... Hey! This is because I didn't catch up at all, and it was all delayed! You...you bother!"

After saying that, Hou Huanhai also bent down.

Gu Zhao quickly picked him up with both hands, and pulled these juniors up again. Now he is thinking about it, why don't he help a little, no matter who, Taozi has to do it, these people are doing it on their own I can pull a hand, but what about my own peaches?Now Fang is over one year old, who will he rely on in the future?

After all, Yuanxiu is the emperor, and he wants to take care of the big picture. In the future, he will talk about taking care of him and his face. I'm afraid he will have to rely on these people more than Yuanxiu.

Gu Zhao helped these juniors up and sent them out. Then he sat down and said to the older brothers, "Don't talk nonsense, what did Feng Shang say? I think you have planned it a long time ago, right?"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhao patted the table, pretending to be angry and said: "Hurry up, don't be clouded, and tell me in detail, I still don't understand it until now, it's a good one to go three times!"

These people looked at each other and laughed.

Dingying said: "Come on, even if you don't ask, we will naturally have to talk about it. This one, we have three dynasties now. Go and read the history books, how many four dynasties are there? Three dynasties are auspicious, but these four dynasties are good ..."

Ding Ying raised her eyebrows, as if you would understand immediately when I said it...

Gu Zhao thought, Yo, that’s not the case. The elders of the three dynasties are a blessing, but if there are elders of the fourth dynasties, it’s fate. If three emperors die in a lifetime and serve the four dynasties, this is the emperor’s nemesis, okay?

Well, that's a good reason too!Now that Lao Qi is in the second dynasty, he naturally dares to stay.

Ding Ying continued: "These two, you do the math, I, Lao Qi, Lao Hou, and Hou Hai, plus you, how many doors are we standing in?"

Gu Zhao figured it out, it wasn’t true, thinking about it made him panic, Qian Ding Division, Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Rites...the six stars protecting the emperor have monopolized 60.00% of the power of the court. If he was the emperor, he would have been irritated long ago , Why are there so many people everywhere!

Gu Zhao suddenly felt nauseated, the person who caused such a result turned out to be himself!

Too bad!

Think about how pitiful Arun is. In Arun's eyes, he is the most selfless and clear-minded person, but he doesn't know that the biggest cancer in his life is caused by the person next to him.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhao felt more and more uncomfortable, and lost the domineering arrogance that was half hidden and half revealed just now.

Everyone in this room is old and cunning. Seeing that Gu Zhao's face was not good, Huan Hai was the closest to the Gu family, so he came over and patted Gu Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Old Seven?"

Gu Zhao woke up in a trance, raised his face and smiled and said, "Ah? Oh! Brothers, don't worry too much, it's none of your business. I only think about myself and my mess...Brother Ding, go ahead Your three?"

Ding Ying chuckled: "Three, ah, three, three~ We are not talented, but we all have winks. Look at those heroes and famous people who burned incense in history, who didn't just hold Buddha's feet temporarily, and in the end It's over, it's only when it's the end that I start to get around, and I don't care if it smells good or not. Our family doesn't need to hold it, but at least we have to share our worries with you. Today, he is different from the other emperors. Yes, let’s not talk about the first emperor, look at the dynasties and dynasties, and you can suffer like this... Hey, not many, we are blessed!"

Why?Is that how you see it?Gu Zhao straightened his spine unknowingly, feeling very proud in his heart...

"It's not easy for my lord. To say something disrespectful, has brought hard work into your life... Earlier...you don't know about this past..."

Ding Ying paused and thought for a while before saying: "...Hey, let's not mention the earlier one. My master has been noble since he was a child, and he is like a banished fairy who can see everything. He also entered the way of painting in his early years. Qing Gao, the previous gentlemen of the prince's mansion were also full of praise, but who would have thought that the first emperor would hurt his eyes... Forget it, this is fate... Who can survive the destiny...

When I ascended the throne by myself, look at what day it was. The late emperor was so fierce that he ruined his family property. My lord can only torture himself with vegetarian clothes, saying that he is dedicated to Buddha. , but you have to be rich! These years, look at how many decent dragon robes my master has made?This is what I've been waiting for..."

Gu Zhao's heart trembled, and he curled his lips immediately, "Shen Ma vegetarian commoner, he has meat all the time, okay, the appearance is simple?"I didn't worry about which one to wear on that side, for fear that he would be wronged...

Ding Ying was still nagging: "...for so many years, my master has been suffering so much, and he has always dealt with the biggest trouble, the emigration and bankruptcy, and handled it so properly..."

Gu Zhao is angry!

Xindao, that is my credit! ! ! ! !

"Now, we can all see that, my lord, this is also a new look for the later emperors, and it is destined to be successful! If you can struggle out of the temple, then you are not an ordinary person!

Facing such a prosperous age, the few of us are also... Hey, since it can't be useful, we might as well give me some winks to clear the situation, and when we get old tomorrow, those who have nothing to do to bake big pancakes, hey-hey!It's time to wink and make room for me! "

The smile on Gu Zhao's face grew more and more, and he began to nod again and again, thinking in his heart, good job!It should be, it should be!

"These four... the children of people like us, although they don't need to pick laurel from the toad palace, they have to learn from the bottom. So, we discussed where the hard work is, and asked them where to go! But this hard work, We can't work hard in secret, so we thought, if we put it on the prince's side, we should just suffer for a few more years, save some qualifications, and later...it depends on their blessings..."

Gu Zhao was very happy, so he cheered up and held a few old guys together. In this way, their conversation became more and more open. After talking for an unknown how long, the weather suddenly turned cold, and it started to rain lightly. The collection trickles down the eaves...

Gu Zhao was worried about Tao Zi, so he ordered someone to hold Tao Zi. After a while, Ding Huachun came in with Tao Zi in his arms, and joked about Tao Zi's anecdotes, saying that he made some more porcelain, and made some small talk ...

Gu Zhao hurriedly apologized and said: "This... this is a savage! Hurry up! It's like a loach, you can't catch it, otherwise I will tie him with a belt! If you can't hold him for a while, he will pop out!"

Dinghuachun didn't say a word, just smiled and touched Taozi's head, Taozi held a birthday peach in one hand, and a half-eaten dim sum in the other.

He looked around, held the big peach to Gu Zhao's mouth and said, "Father... eat!"

Gu Zhao was moved, so he took his hand and took a big bite. Taozi was not a person who lacked food and drink. His father gnawed on his peach, but he was not angry, but quickly lifted the snack over.

Gu Zhao wanted to bite, but Hou Huanhai couldn't get used to it: "I said you, if the child is given to you to eat, just let it go, but you really eat the child?"

Gu Zhaocai ignored him, and he thanked Taozi very earnestly, and shared the dessert with Taozi.

That night when Gu Zhao came home, lying on the bed, he and A Run seriously blew on the pillow, what Dingying said, what the old queen said...

What he said had different weight from others, Ah Run was also very moved when he knew about it, he naturally did not answer what Gu Zhaoqiu did.

To the emperor, that was nothing, he just wanted to show his face in front of Yuan Xiu!Ready!

In the blink of an eye, within a few days, Chao Shang exploded, Ding Ying, Hou Huan Hai and the others were going to retire...

Knowing this would happen early this morning, he naturally brewed up his relationship and various plots in advance.

So in front of the courtiers, the singing of this big show was called lively.

Their monarchs and ministers got along with each other, and they invited and stayed, both of them had tears in their eyes, very reluctant to part with it.

Ah Run asked someone to look up the merits of these people in this life, and even memorized them. When they asked for a decree to retire, Zhao Chunrun's eyes were red, and he held back tears, rambling about what year and month, How did you say, what did you do, what kind of injury you suffered, what kind of embarrassment you looked like, but you were still brave and unyielding, who was there at that time, and what happened later...

Never expected, really never expected!The officials usually only feel that the present is dull, but they don't think that the present is like this, each of these piles is like a treasure, the king who takes every little thing in his heart... is really rare in the ages, rare in the past and the present Mingjun...

After the big show, they kept each other to stay, and today there is no one left, but they just took the lead and Lao Ding's hand and said: "You have been with my monarch and ministers for a lifetime, and in this life, the monarch and ministers are together. One day, I will always leave, and you will all be buried in the grave at that time." Be by my side... I... can't bear to part with you after all." When we get to the sky, let's tear it apart with Zhao Chunxi!

After he finished speaking, Dingying and the others immediately burst into tears, crying sincerely, Lord Long Live, why are you so good!Why are you so sweet...

The opera singing at Chaoshang was so lively, Gu Zhao couldn't see it if he didn't go to court, but he thought it was strange that Ah Run came back every day and muttered to the wall, singing and beating...

He was sitting at home, but he didn't want to still have big things that couldn't be avoided coming to him.

On this day, Gu Yunyao came back from Haola Harmao Bing, and his current position was to escort the upward materials.

In the past, Gu Maobing had to bring back forty or fifty high-quality horses every time he said nothing, as well as various rare things on the grassland, furs, etc...

This year is really strange, Gu Yunyao came back with only two large carts, but the stuff on these two carts was not honest, a pile of mediocre furs piled up so empty.

Gu Zhao felt strange, so he asked in detail, Gu Yunyao didn't take it seriously, and said: "Grandfather Qi doesn't know, the savages over there are in bad luck. No drop of water fell, and those cattle and sheep died. You don't know, little uncle. Uncle Maobing still subsidizes Haohala, but Baiyidu... When the herdsmen came, they said , Many people have died, and the cattle and sheep have starved to death countless times, and there is also a plague, and the fifth grandfather is afraid that the plague will spread, so he closed the gates of the city..."

Gu Zhao was startled before he finished listening. He stood up abruptly and asked, "What? Say it again?!"

Gu Yunyao was taken aback, hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Back to my uncle, last year the blizzard on the grassland killed many livestock, and since spring this year, there hasn't been a single drop of rain over there. The sheep had no grass to eat, so they died in large numbers. When the nephews went there, there was a plague. We went to the horse farm outside. At any rate, there was support from the imperial court, but those savages... oh, the nephews mean those tribes , the old man over there said, this year is a severe drought that is rare in a hundred years, I am afraid that many people will die, uh, many people have died, the day I came back from Uncle Maobing, people were being burned over there , invited a bunch of monks to recite sutras..."

Gu Zhao's eyes were tightly closed, and his heart felt cold. He never expected that this game of chess would be met with a blow in advance...

After thinking for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and ordered solemnly: "No, Yun Yao...Your Uncle Maobing is dangerous, go and eat something quickly, and you have to go back after I write two letters... Let's go today..."

After all, Gu Yunyao hadn't taken care of anything, before he finished listening, his face turned pale...

Gu Yunyao was ignorant, and was driven out to eat. After he finished eating, he simply tidied himself up and came back. At this time, Gu Zhao's front yard had already gathered at least 50 people, and Gu Zhao was bowing his head to give orders. What are you wearing...

What happened here?

Gu Yunyao looked around blankly...

Gu Zhao worked hard in the front yard, which naturally alarmed Zhao Chunrun very quickly. He hurried home after finishing the affairs of the previous court, and sent someone to call Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao was also waiting for him, and when he knew he was home, he hurried to the backyard. When he entered the house, he said urgently, "Arun, Arun, hurry up and prepare for the battle! I let the wolf out..."
