Clam Pearl

In the past few days, there has been more news in the capital.

Prince Yi has returned to Beijing. It turned out that he was not sick at first, nor did he go to recuperate.He just turned to the Buddha in his heart, so he ran to the mountain to practice.

Now that the Shang family had a happy event, His Majesty was happy, so he went to the Imperial Temple to pick it up in person. However, Prince Yi devoted himself to the Buddha but did not want to return to Beijing. Later, the Queen Mother and her old man went to the Imperial Temple. Now, filial piety should be done before practicing, this is the truth in the world.Prince Yi had no choice but to go down the mountain.

When the prince came back, Prince Yi's mansion was full of joy, and the princess ran to the palace to meet her husband.It's a pity that Prince Yi is still reluctant to part with his practice, and doesn't go home, he only temporarily lives in the imperial temple in the palace, and doesn't wear fancy clothes, he still wears a coarse cotton robe every day, and said, I only stay for a few days, Soon I will go back to the mountain.

Concubine Yi naturally didn't want to, so she just cried and begged at the Queen Mother's place every day, but unfortunately, she couldn't see her face for three days in a row.

The above is the information about A Run that Gu Zhao got.After reading the note, Gu Zhao casually threw the note into the copper stove and lit it, with a mocking smile on his lips.

Good or bad, that person has the final say. Others don't know, so he still doesn't know.Even though the relationship is better now, Ah Run's existence is still an eyesore.To be on guard, the older brother still labeled the younger brother as a monk.

Elder Gu Yan leaned on the soft couch at one side, watching his younger brother burn paper, but he didn't ask any questions, just laying down.In the past few days, welcoming and seeing off, going to the palace to have banquets, going to the palace to thank you, going to the palace to thank you, going to the palace to have a long talk and so on, he was so burdened that he couldn't be free and he was very tired.A few days ago, this family was just a neglected family, and it went downhill as soon as they saw it... But in the blink of an eye, a family of two lords and five lords, the foreseeable wealth and honor for generations will fall from the sky!Those who didn't come to the door came again.It's just that, those old friends come back again, but the Duke is not willing to see them anymore.Now that he has a big air, no one can see it!

"What do you think about this, brother?" Gu Yan asked, and after asking, he took a sip of ginseng soup from the hand of Gu Maochang who was standing aside.

Gu Zhao turned a deaf ear, his ears were filled with the sound of opera drums coming from the front yard.

"Brother?" Gu Yan called again.

"Ah? Oh, brother, what did you say?" Gu Zhao was taken aback.

Gu Yan laughed, and told his youngest son Gogou's chin: "Your little uncle has been working hard recently, and asked your mother to order the medicine room. From now on, I will give your uncle a bowl of ginseng soup at night according to my order. He is young. A new ginseng that has been around for more than ten years is enough, and he can't stand it when he is old."

Gu Zhao hurriedly waved his hands: "Hurry up, it smells like earth, and I'm impatient to drink that! I feel dry after drinking it. If there is a medicinal diet to relieve anger, tell the kitchen to add one for me, and forget the other one."

Gu Maochang looked at his father, then at his little uncle, thought for a while and said: "No, I will invite the imperial physician to the palace tomorrow, and let my little uncle take a look. After all, you still need to take the medicine according to the symptoms."

Gu Yan listened, nodded, and told his son: "You don't have to wait for tomorrow, just go today. Your brother is busy, so you personally took the post at home."

Gu Maochang nodded, put down the soup bowl in his hand, and turned to go out.

Gu Zhao looked at his nephew's back, but praised him from the bottom of his heart: "The word love is the word that most promotes people's growth, and the little four has benefited."

Gu Yan sighed, not happy to hear this: "If it's been a few months later, maybe Xiaosi will still be talking and laughing, looking happy."

Gu Zhao walked to the edge of the soft couch, took off his shoes, pulled off his socks, lifted the blanket covering his elder brother, stuffed a pair of cold feet in, and said with a smile, "My elder brother doesn't hate the Jin family?"

Gu Yan sat up halfway, took the white copper hand stove on one side, put a few pieces of red charcoal in it, wrapped the hand stove in a cloth towel, and then handed the stove to his younger brother, saying: "Why don't you hate, the Jin family is just a small bird, you don't have to pick them up Time. I mean, my mother and I work hard, but we just want our children to be happy. The Jin family girl is just a concubine and a plaything when she enters our house! If you can make Laozi happy, character is something that belongs to your sister-in-law and his daughter-in-law chastity."

Gu Zhao hugged the stove, feeling only disdainful in his heart, hey, for men in ancient times, talking about respect with them is just the same as talking about it, it's better not to care.So I stopped talking about it and just gossiped: "Every time I feel bad at home, I have to send a post to ask the imperial doctor. Our family will have more bumps and bumps in the future. I heard from Xiaosi that there are several families in Shangjing who have supported their families for generations. Doctor, if not, our family will also ask someone to look for a few famous ones, please come back and raise them all year round? My brother is not young, so it is good to have someone around him to take care of him from time to time."

Gu Yan nodded: "Those are trivial things, just tell Maode to look for a few later."

Gu Zhao smiled, and leaned on the soft pillow and said in a low voice: "It seems that now... I am still guarding against Lord Yi today. After picking him up, I still put on a monk's hat for him. This is to remind you, call Don't pay too much attention to Prince Yi, it doesn't matter if he is a double star, he has no ordinary heart."

Gu Yan didn't know about the relationship between Gu Zhao and Prince Yi, but he always had one thing in his mind, and he really wanted to ask his brother. Thinking of this, he looked around, and now as long as he talks to brother, those servants They will not move forward, but will only avoid them from a distance. This is already a rule.Even so, the old man is still very careful, he has to look around before he speaks.

"Brother, what chapter do you want to add at the end of How to Come to the World? Brother, I can't figure it out."

Gu Zhao lay down on the back, sighed comfortably, narrowed his eyes and said, "I have my own reasons. Seeing that he will not survive, his son is not yet ten years old. If his son comes up, you and Anji Meng The family, Mrs. Hu's family, have some old grievances... But it is too late to fix it.

Besides, I just thought he was not pleasing to the eye, so I just pushed, stirred up, and made troubles. In short, I can't make him too smooth... Who told him to scold you, insult you, and slander you!It's okay for him to mess with me, and I'm nothing.But he shouldn't have messed with you... Since he did it, I made him unhappy, so I just filled his toothache. "

Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he smiled lowly for a while, then patted Gu Zhao's leg under the blanket and scolded, "I didn't know you were narrow-minded."

Gu Zhao closed his eyes and smiled and hummed: "Well... I have never been very careful... If that little guy comes up, it must be his uncle and his relatives who are in power. As long as the little emperor is on the throne, nothing good will happen! The country finally left At this point, it’s better to get rid of those ghosts and monsters together. Little Si’er, little Panzi, is now at the right age, so we can’t delay it. It’s okay for Xiao Panzi to win the title, but our little Si’er is still hanging on... Could it be possible, big brother Are you going to let it go?"

Gu Yan suddenly sat up and scolded: "I'll let you fart! There is nothing good in those few houses! Thanks to the emperor's grace, they have done a lot of ugly things... I am only worried, Lord Yi, is a limp, just I'm afraid he won't be able to pick it up."

Gu Zhaocai didn't care about this, and handed the cold stove to his brother, who waited on him again.

"The soft emperor has the way of the soft emperor. It doesn't matter who is strong, whoever is the master. Is the sister-in-law soft? When she coughs, I think you don't dare to provoke her sometimes. The greatest talent of the master lies in..." Speaking here, Gu Zhao suddenly remembered something, so he threw away the copper stove, jumped out of the blanket barefoot, ran to the desk beside him, and quickly wrote down a few sentences.His memory also lasted for a while, and many things flashed quickly.

Gu Yan sat up and cursed, disgusted that Gu Zhao would not take care of himself, seeing that Gu Zhao ignored him, he grabbed one side of the cushion and wanted to throw him away, but when he saw the cushion was big, he turned back to find something smaller, making a fuss, Gu Yan Zhao jumped back again.

Gu Yan hurriedly wrapped him in a blanket, and beat him a few more times through the blanket, scolding him while beating: "I'm alive, anyway, if someone scolds you, you have to listen to it! You bastard!" , why don’t you know how to cherish yourself?”

Gu Zhao just laughed and didn't ignore him, just continued there: "The water in the river is already muddy, let's just watch it, and let the rest be arranged by the higher authorities!" Come on, he pointed to the above indifferently.Gu Yan had no choice but to scold again, but didn't ask anyone else.

The brothers were laughing, and Lu Shi, who was wearing a lot of make-up, followed with a smile. Behind her, Su Shi, who was newly granted a fourth-rank imperial order, and Hou Shi all followed into the room.

They raised their eyes and saw that the little uncle was there, and his posture was a little rough, so they didn't go in, but only greeted him outside, and then retreated.

Standing on the side serving Hong Yao, Hong Dan and others rushed forward to help Lu carefully take off the hairpin. Gu Zhao squinted at Hong Yao, and then casually ordered: "Hong Yao, go to the back kitchen and say I want to eat cabbage, you go and watch it for me, be careful of those old guys who don’t wash their hands when they chop vegetables.”

Hong Yao was immediately amused when he heard it, and looked at Hong Dan complacently.Hong Dan ignored her, and just helped Lu Shi remove her dressing gown.

I don't know what's wrong these days, Hong Yao thinks that Master Qi likes to assign her the most.For a while, he went beyond Hongdan.

Lu waved his hand: "Go quickly, pick the tenderest point and give it to Lao Qi." After finishing speaking, he turned around and scolded Gu Zhao with a smile: "Xiao Qi is also a boy after all, why is he so pretentious when he eats!"

Gu Zhao stood up, pulled his shoes and leaned against the door to gossip with his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I would rather be a man, but you ask your woman in the kitchen to cut off those black nails. Looking at those nails, I am No matter how manly, I can't eat it!"

Lu Shi just laughed, knowing that Gu Zhao was talking nonsense.She is very strict in housekeeping, so there is absolutely no such thing.

After serving the red medicine, he turned around and left the door.As soon as she went out, Lu Shi pursed her lips at Hong Dan, that Hong Dan smiled, Fu Yifu turned around and led the others to look at the door.

Seeing Hong Dan go out, Lu Shi came over and sat down and said: "Today, I went to the harem with your sister-in-law of Xiahou's family and the sister-in-law of the Hou family. The queen and the queen mother have all met. The queen mother revealed some news to us ...It's also a happy event, it means that next year's spring...you will give our family a new duke's mansion, Lao Qi, in the future, you will have your own mansion." When Lu Shi said this, he was really reluctant.

How old is Gu Zhao, and he has only lived here for a few days, so why is he about to open his house in a blink of an eye.

Gu Zhao curled his lips: "It was given to me for free, so of course I will take it down. However, I won't live here...I'm still living here with my brother and sister-in-law!"

Lu Shi nodded with a smile, and Gu Yan also said with satisfaction: "That's how it should be, just wait, my brother will support you for the rest of your life, and you will save all the money you get, and just ask someone to look after the house."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, and had lunch together again. Gu Zhao went back to his yard by himself, closed the gate, sat in the room, took out the ball of paper in his sleeve and sat in front of the desk, thinking carefully.

"The military general holds the military power, the humble family holds the secrets, and the prince town holds the vassal."

Don't underestimate these three sentences. This was once a successful emperor's reform policy. These few sentences have a great effect on weakening the family and stabilizing the imperial power.Although later generations look at history, each period of history has its own characteristics.But there is also a necessary identity.Now Daliang is in a mysterious stage, which is similar to that of the emperor.Generally speaking, clan politics is booming, while imperial politics is in a downturn.Then, if Ah Run ascends to the throne, the first thing he will do is to stabilize the overall situation. After the overall situation is stabilized, the conflict between the clan and the royal family will be exposed.

Gu Zhao looked back and forth at the note, wondering if he should give this to A Run.He thought about it, but inexplicably became angry again.He thought, why should I worry so much about him?Now he has a bunch of beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and they are still crying to meet him, how does he still remember me?

Inside the Imperial Temple of Qiyuan Palace in Shangjing.

Ah Run was meditating in the palace, while Concubine Yi and a group of concubines were crying with the Queen Mother in the outer hall.

The queen mother did not speak, but closed her eyes and twisted the string of beads slightly, turning it round and round.

Her little daughter-in-law is the most wonderful person in the world, and she has heard it every day that she follows whoever she marries.She was fine, she spent all her money out of the house wholeheartedly. In the past few years, she had used up all the wealth and manpower of that child, Arun.The most exasperating thing is that she has never visited Ah Run in the past few years on the mountain.Although the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, how can there be uncles, sons and daughters-in-law who join forces to bully their husbands together?

The Empress Dowager was angry, and she couldn't tell her son, but she could tell her daughter-in-law, so these days, she didn't show any kindness,

Princess Yi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the queen was also trying to persuade them. This group of people made a fuss until the second watch, seeing that the queen mother still ignored them, so they had to leave.

Concubine Yi finally left, the empress resigned, the empress dowager got off the couch, was supported by Aunt Yao, and went to the back hall to see Lord Yi, Zhao Chunrun.

Prince Yi, Zhao Chunrun, was reciting the mantra of clearing his heart.The queen mother didn't disturb him, she just stood aside and watched with a smile.The old lady now feels that all her illnesses have disappeared.

Prince Yi finished reading the scriptures, knocked the chime, and then stood up and turned around to ask. "Queen, are they gone?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I'm gone, but I'll be back tomorrow."

Prince Yi supported the Queen Mother to one side and sat down, then sat on the footrest, helped the Queen Mother beat her legs, and said while hammering: "Mother, you are not up to date, and you are tired."

The queen mother smiled wryly, touched the top of Lord Yi's head and said, "After two years, I will be stable. Tell your brother, and then send them away from afar, and then just change. You... don't stay here, go Seal the land!" At this point, the Empress Dowager sighed helplessly, and after sighing, she said: "I don't blame her, I used to be with the first emperor, and I also saw that she was good with your brother. Although...the age is far away, they are alone. Senior brother, a junior sister... Hey, who knows that God’s will tricks people. Ah Run, tell me, when we recite scriptures, don’t the twists and turns in those scriptures just come and go to torture people!”

Prince Yi didn't care, maybe he thought of something and smiled.

The Queen Mother stretched out her finger, nodded him, then lowered her head and asked softly, "What are you thinking about? I'm thinking about him again."

Prince Yi's face turned bright, he nodded slightly, looked back outside and sighed: "It was so cold last year, I copied the scriptures all day, and the steamed buns froze. He happened to go up the mountain and lived next door to me. He gave me a pot of hot water with a few boiled eggs in it, which are warm, warm my hands, and delicious."

The old queen's heart was swollen with pain, and she hugged him and shed a few tears: "What evil did you do!"

Prince Yi leaned on his mother's leg and sighed: "Mother, I only talk to you alone. In this life, only one good person will be enough. If there are too many people in the world, I only want him. I don't hate brother, I will Thanks to him, if it wasn't for my brother, I wouldn't have met him. As for the other one, it was never mine, so I wouldn't ask for it, just this one, you just allow me."

The old queen was helpless, she just patted Lord Yi's head once and for all, and sighed after a long time: "It's useless if we agree, his family is different now, and he is delicate, the Gu family probably won't want it either! He has no children, is it possible that he will be like this with you for the rest of his life?"

Prince Yi thought about it for a while, and he had his own big idea in his heart, so he didn't ask any more, and just talked about the old things for a while to amuse the Queen Mother.

Finally, in the dead of night, the mother and son rested separately.

The eunuchs serving outside the window all changed shifts, they were passed to Yun Guang for questioning as soon as they went there, and after Yun Guang finished the questioning, he reported to Jinshang in full.

After listening to it today, he just smiled and said: "If he thinks so, let him do it, so... that's fine... I'm just afraid that Gu Yan won't like it."

Yun Guang laughed and asked again: "Then, Princess Yi, if you come to ask for an interview tomorrow, how should you reply? Look, how many days have passed? Every day, when you come, it's just trouble. The Queen Mother is also getting more and more disgusted..."

Emperor Tianshou sat there in a daze. His daze was actually a hazy state after being too excited. He always did this these days.

I don't know how long he stayed there, but when he came back to his senses, the outside was buzzing in the middle of the night.After Tianshou Emperor smiled helplessly, he took a jade paperweight from the imperial case and handed it to Yun Guang, saying, "Take this as a reward to Master Hu. In the early years, Master always wanted a piece of this round jade, so you go ...Just say that Ah Run is still angry now, telling my junior sister not to make trouble, I still need to figure it out."

I have been in love with Mrs. Hu Ji for many years, so I have always called the Taifu Master Hu and Princess Yi as a junior sister to show kindness. Unfortunately, it is precisely this that makes Zhao Chunrun never have a good look at his princess. .Naturally, Concubine Yi didn't care about it a few years ago, she only had one man in her heart, and that was Emperor Tianshou.

Hey, after all, it's all evil fate.

At the end of the 17th year of Tianshou, Gu Yan, the newly named Duke of Pingguo, made a statement: Because the family has been enjoying an ancestral temple sacrifice with the surname Gu of Pingzhouxishui.The ancestral tablets in the family can only be enshrined in the side hall of the ancestral temple.Of course!Today, the emperor summoned the emperor to appear in the world, and it is recorded in the records of the birth of the world that the old father of the family gave the destiny to come to the world, and assisted Daliang to achieve the foundation.

When Gu Yan played this book, except for the objection of Gu's surname in Pingzhou Stream, everyone nodded their heads from top to bottom.

Gu Yan's old father was the oldest member of the army who followed the late Emperor Pingzhou.Why did the old man rebel with him that day?Isn't it because of being a member of the clan, those who are oppressed and bullied have no way of life, so they take risks?Previously, when there was no such thing as a record of being born into the world, today's attitude towards the fact that Gu Yan's family still belonged to Pingzhou Xishui Gu was ambiguous.Because under the system where clan politics has affected imperial politics, sometimes the power of the court is not as great as the power of the clan.

But now it's different, Gu Yan's family is one of the only guardian stars left, which is a descendant of the gods, and the mere Xishui Gu still enshrines the tablets of the old man and their ancestors on the auxiliary temple of the ancestral hall, let alone Gu Yan. If the father-in-law's family doesn't want it, do you, Xishui Gu, have the nerve?

Xishui Gu was naturally kind, and there were even several rebuttal articles from Xishui Gu in Beijing.

The general idea is, your ancestors are here, grew up here, and grew up eating rice from our family. Now that your wings are hard, you have to forget your ancestors?

God is pitiful, God testifies, earlier people only ate the rice they planted themselves, if the rice was enough to eat, they would not rebel.Counting it now, there has been no contact for several generations, so why are they still mentioning old rice.

It's a pity that no one has expressed support for Gu Xishui's resistance now. Now your family is just an ordinary family, but Gu in Pingzhou Alley has miracles. How can you still want to cling to him? It's a miscalculation, and I haven't seen it before. How often do you pull when you are in trouble?It's not uncommon for you to do things like gossip.The matter of sect division has finally come to fruition.

I'm happy to mention it today, and now the location of the new temple has been selected, and it's at the original site of Shuhua Palace.Just wait for the thaw at the end of spring next year, then I will find a heavenly official to calculate the good time, and when the stinging sting has passed, I will go to sacrifice and break the ground, so that I can ask the emperor to return to his throne early, and the guardian stars can also have incense to enjoy.

In the first month of the 18th year of Tianshou, the leave notebooks of the Gu family brothers all arrived in front of the imperial court.The emperor readily agreed, and also rewarded a lot of sacrifices and sacrificial vessels, which will be enshrined forever in the ancestral temple that the Gu family will build.

This time he was too generous, and today he felt guilty. In order to show his favor, he personally selected three nanmu girders, one big and two small, from the materials he had prepared to build the palace, and rewarded the Gu family.
