Clam Pearl

At night, Gu Zhao fell asleep with his emperor. He didn't know how long he slept, and he had two dreams.One scene was in modern times, and the other scene was in the south. It was like acting in a movie. He was so exhausted from the hustle and bustle all night long.In the dream, he was busy, but he heard a noise in the front yard.No way, when he opened his eyes, he saw a huge arm, blocking his heart.

Taking a long breath, Gu Zhao put on his clothes and sat up. Now this mansion belongs to him, and if something goes wrong, Ah Run doesn't care about it, and no one cares at all.

"It's late at night, what happened?" Gu Zhao lifted the curtain and asked through the screen.

After a while, the eunuch on duty outside the door whispered: "Grandpa Huijun, the fourth master of the Duke's Mansion, is now drunk and crying in your front yard."

Yo, this is a sad child looking for a parent, right?A low snicker came from beside him. Gu Zhao had no choice but to bear the drowsiness. He retaliated twice with his feet, got up with his clothes on, and asked the front to open the door, turned around and locked it, and then got into the soft sedan chair and was caught by someone. Carried it to the front yard.

Gu Zhao hurried to the front yard, but Gu Maochang was not there. Bi Liangli also just got up, and hurriedly changed his clothes without his belt tied. Seeing Gu Zhao, he gestured angrily.It means, you have started your own house now, and his family has parents, so why bother you in the middle of the night?

Gu Zhao laughed, patted his nanny's hand and said, "Don't worry, nanny, your hand gestures are getting more and more complicated, and I can't even understand them. I know, he will come when he comes, his father's stinky Temper, I'm afraid I'll get angry again if I know it, forget it! If he doesn't come to me, where else can he go? Could it be that he is ashamed on the street? What about people..."

Bi Liangli had no choice but to point to the direction of Qushui...

Gu Zhao had no choice but to get on the sedan chair again and was carried to Qushui.

On the bank of Qushui, Gu Maochang still hadn't removed his armor. He didn't know where to mix the wine last night. He probably didn't drink enough at the moment. He held a tank of wine in his arms, and while drinking, he sang along the Qushui: "At the beginning of the evening lights, Yuegoulou... the fragrance starts, and Xian'e... hiccup..."

Gu Zhao refused to persuade him, but he was afraid that he would slip and fall into the Qushui, so he asked Xizai to row the wooden boat, went up to the bow and sat on the bow, and followed Gu Maochang all the way.

Gu Maochang saw his little uncle, and when he saw him get on the boat, he didn't persuade himself, but he also took a jug of wine and sat on the bow. Whenever he looked at him, he raised the glass to Kong.Gu Maochang laughed, picked up the wine jar, took a sip into his mouth, and continued to sing: "It's a pity! The banquet hall is deep, the jade pillow is cold, and meddlesome things always annoy Qingqing... hiccup..."

Gu Zhao leaned on the bed, feeling a little drunk even after drinking one cup at a time, so he suddenly stood there ready to be ecstasy for a while, only to lower his brows, but his heart was so desperate.

He stood up, opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he didn't want to go to the other side of Qushui, someone suddenly waving his sleeves and sang there: "A light boat, mandarin duck and water lily head, brother's water chestnut girl, my friend is stationed at the bow... ...Aiyoyo...Let's go on a lotus boat together...Wildflowers are blooming on the roadside, I picked them for you, ouch, squeak, acridine..." What kind of cheerful melody is this, so sweet Honey's concubine's affection, forcibly destroys a cold, rainy and windy night, and the desolate and ecstasy wind immediately destroys it, and it makes the spring breeze blow through it like a hundred flowers blooming in an instant.

Gu Zhao didn't move, turned his face to look at the other side, yes, Gu Maobing seems to have found a yard to live in Qushui.

"Shut up!!!!!!" Gu Maochang was extremely angry, turned with one hand, swung the wine jar to the other side of Qushui and went.

Gu Zhao opened his mouth and looked up at a black wine tank that drew a parabola across the top of his head, heading towards Gu Maobing.He just wanted to call out danger, but he didn't think about the other side of the bank. Gu Maobing leaned up and came to an iron bridge. He didn't hide, the bridge bent and stood up on one foot. He immediately found the key point of the wine jar, dripping spinning on his toes.

"Wow!" Gu Zhao put down the jug, and clapped his hands sincerely. This acrobatic skill is so good.

Gu Maobing tapped his toes, and the wine jar flew up. He stood up, held the wine jar in his arms, pinched his waist and pointed to the other side of the bank and scolded: "Little uncle can't sleep well in the middle of the night, it's been a few days Damn, Nu Minger and Baner are still there, little uncle, ignore this lunatic, he has never seen a woman before!"

Gu Maochang leaned against the big tree and laughed: "Hi... a woman? I have a son, but you have never seen a woman, you fake bitch? You have the nerve to mention a woman to me, bah!"

Gu Maobing was at the other end, and suddenly stretched out his hand to touch his face, expressing that he was good-looking, and then snorted softly: "Woman? Someone, for a silly house sparrow, can't sleep or eat anymore, alas, back then Xiao Qingqing..."

On both sides of the Qushui River, after you scolded me, it was very lively for a while, Gu Zhao sighed, waved his hand lightly, breathed carefully, quietly propped the boat back to the bamboo pavilion, and the owner and servant did not wait for their sedan chairs when they got off. I went at a trot.

Ah Run was sleeping hazily, and he was a little uneasy when he was empty beside him, so he waited, waited, and waited until Gu Zhao came in again and put his arms around his waist.

"Huh? Why are you back?" Ah Run sighed, and lifted Gu Zhao's feet into his legs to warm them up.

"Well, Mao Bing is arguing with him, so I'm free." Gu Zhao muttered.

"liberation?"

"Well... if it's loose, I'll be loose. You said that these two people quarreled every time they met. It's been so many years, and they still quarrel!" Gu Zhao got used to the darkness in the curtain, and looked sideways at A Run: "You Don't sleep anymore?"

Ah Run smiled, and put his arms around him: "Well, it's almost five o'clock, so it's time to scream."

Gu Zhao felt guilty and hurriedly made amends: "Look, it's all about the children at home. You didn't think much of it at first. These two guys quarrel when they meet. It's very worrying."

Ah Run probably felt a taste in his mouth, so he raised his face and said: "It's okay, it's good, I don't dislike them, if you say they are your nephews, you say they are my courtiers, that's fine. What a funny person... You see they had a lot of quarrel, I vaguely remember that a year and a half ago, in Dongshan, your fourth son Gu seemed to have been injured..."

Gu Zhao was startled, remembering to ask, Ah Run had already guessed, stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly and continued: "He is alive and kicking now, what are you worried about? I just heard from Li Zhai that your fourth child was crying with snot all over his nose. With tears in his eyes, he climbed the mountain road with him on his back, and arrived at the camp at the bottom of the mountain after walking all night. Both palms were rubbed with blood, and he didn't even notice it. Sometimes, quarrels are also affectionate, so you don't want to. Worry about..."

While the two were talking, Sun Xi's voice slowly came from outside the curtain: "Long Live Lord, get up."

Ah Run didn't want to talk to him, and continued to talk: "By the way, Fu Ji will probably be back today. You can take him home and tell him to rest for two months. I'm going to set up a new yamen there to deal with relocation. Do you want to mention it a little bit when he comes back this time?"

Gu Zhao shook his head lightly: "No need, he is young. When he takes the big exam three years later, he will take the exam again. Besides, he suffered a big loss when he went out this time. I'm afraid he should take it easy in the past two years and not be in a hurry." , but you, why are you willing to bring someone home?"

Ah Run smiled: "I won't tell you, you still want to pick it up, if I betray you, you accept my love and repay me a lot..."

Outside the curtain, Sun Xi invited again: "Long Live Lord, get up."

Ah Run still ignored him and continued: "Because he has been implicated a lot this time, I'm afraid you won't be at ease if you put it outside."

Gu Zhao nodded and said: "That's right, take it back... I finished the homework that Yuan Xiu sent back a few days ago, and wrote some new ones. I met Yue Duzhi from my uncle's house yesterday, but I remembered One thing, Yuanxiu will add another law course this year, it doesn't need to be much, half an hour a day is enough..."

Sun Xi: "Long Live Lord, let's drive..."

"Heh..." Gu Zhao smiled lightly and pushed Ah Run.

Ah Run coughed vigorously, and whispers came in from outside the curtain.

The weather in early spring, around four or five o'clock, early in the morning, the officials entered the Qiyuan Palace from Tongtian Daoer, and as soon as they arrived at the imperial gate, they saw the former prince, Jinbei King Zhao Yuanxiang, the current eldest prince Surabaya king Zhao Yuanrui and the second prince Lu Wang Zhao Yuanshan knelt outside the hall together, looking at the dew on their bodies, they might have arrived at the fourth watch.

The former prince, whom the officials had not seen for many years, saw him now, but no one rushed to say hello.Everyone was also worried, for fear that this master who had a good memory from childhood would greet him in front of the adults.If so, just one sentence, I am afraid that this political future will be gone.

Now, I'm afraid it's just one person or two people thinking that way, those ministers saw him today, and they all took a long way around to go to the hall.They didn't dare to walk in the meantime, while they were walking, they were still discussing:

"It's strange today, doesn't he not like to come out? Why is he giving up his face today?"

"It's hard not to give up. Anji Hou's Mansion is my uncle's house. Wouldn't it be shameful not to come?"

"That's right, King Jibei is here, that's right, it's time to come! But why are we two princes joining in the fun?"

"Who knows, aren't they all studying together, and the masters are also in the same group. I'm afraid they have some feelings. It's not good if they don't come! Otherwise, it's not that my lord often takes them to the temple. I'm afraid it's because of this kindness. Jiner...now they have learned it too? Hey, it's all for one master to clean up, and two generations of masters to clean up together...hey..."

"Forbidden, forbidden, shh... Didn't you see that Mr. Hu Ji is also here today, please don't say a few words!"

"Yo, this old man is here, he has already retired, why are you still here?"

"Who knows, he is the Taifu of the two dynasties, so he will come whenever he wants, so he might report to you. If you take too much care, he will be reluctant to go back to his hometown if he doesn't establish a crown prince today. Let's count it as Lu Jiaque , I can’t take care of these big things, just hurry up and don’t say a few words today!”

Today, Chengdi Emperor Zhao Chunrun is a weird person. His weirdness is more than eating fast and reciting Buddha. He does not enter the harem, does not set up a prince, and supports his own family. Apart from handling the government affairs, this emperor is practicing in seclusion every day. In the eyes of the ministers, such an emperor is far more than that. Weird, he was downright paranoid.Sometimes it is not a good thing that the emperor is too difficult to approach.

This person must have some shortcomings, some hobbies, and some paranoid things, so that everyone feels perfect.

Emperor Tiancheng has been on the throne for three years, and now the courtiers have finally seen his family's fun, so the courtiers were very satisfied today and did not cause any trouble today.

On the contrary, Zhuang Chengxiu, the imperial envoy who came back from Wukang, reported the details of all the criminals. If he didn't report it, everyone knew the score in his heart. There were 58 officials of all sizes in Wukang County. This one didn't participate, but he was also guilty of ineffective supervision, or at least a crime of dereliction of duty.

There are a total of 57 important officials in the following counties and states, but 80.00% of the posts reported in Wukang County are vacant.Good thing, they are free, and they are ready to squeeze in.

After receiving the memorial, Emperor Tian Cheng sat on the throne and looked at each of them for an entire hour, but he didn't see him lose his temper, nor did he scold that person.During this period, the old lady Fu Hu Ji wanted to publish a class newspaper several times, but now he is an official who has become an official, and he has no such right. He looked back at his students, and they all shook their heads quietly. Curse, this old man doesn't even look at the time, is this the time to intercede?

I don't know how long it has been, but after reading the details of the prisoner today, he waved his hands in disgust and said, "Let's go!" After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and left by himself up.

It was the first time for Emperor Tiancheng to lose his temper like this when he succeeded to the throne, so the officials at court couldn't help but feel uneasy, for fear that he would be implicated in it.They looked at each other, and put some notebooks that were supposed to be played back into their sleeves, and they all put away their voices one by one, and returned the listless ones.

The group of officials dispersed, passed by the imperial gate, and still saw the three proud sons of heaven, still staying where they were.Now King Jibei was helped to sit up, and someone around him covered him with a thick robe. The color of the robe was from today, and the stove in King Jibei's hand was also from today.The little eunuch beside him is holding a bowl of bird's nest, judging by the color of the bowl, it is probably also his own.Hey, I didn't say how kind I was to my nephew today. After three years, I was reluctant to let the king of Jibei go to the fiefdom, so I put it by my side to take care of it.

In normal days, if there are good ones today, they will take care of their nephew first.He was reluctant to wear it himself, so he wanted to buy some clothes for his nephew first, and if something rare was put in, the first part was also given to the King of Jibei first.Today, no one is selected in the harem, but if there is a courtier who offers it privately, he will reward his nephew in the face of the present.

That's right, my lord has always been merciful. His nephew has a hard life, and he doesn't want him to kneel without his parents.

On the contrary, King Sishui and King Lu are still kneeling now, the thick robes they were wearing were taken away by someone, but now only two single clothes are left, trembling all over, swaying in the spring wind.

Taifu Hu, who came down from the top, burst into tears when he saw his grandson suffering.He thought for a while, stomped his feet, turned around and went to the back. He is the Taifu of the two dynasties, so naturally no one dared to stop him. When the old man was outside the Shuize Palace, no one was allowed to go in and report. He just lifted his robe and trembled. He also knelt down, cursing inwardly while kneeling, then the King of Jibei is really not a thing, something happened to your uncle's house, why would you ask my grandson to intercede with you?So is An Jihou a good thing?These two children didn't know which master they were following. When he turned around, he had to ask carefully, how did he teach the prince?

No, I don’t dare to talk about Chujun now, and I have never said anything about it. Now I have to go in and ask about this old face, and I have to write a book. Chujun is the foundation of the country. It's not small, if this is done, it will be death.

The officials dispersed, Zhao Chunrun drove to the Shuize Hall, and announced Zhuang Chengxiu to enter the hall for questioning.The two of them, the monarch and his ministers, didn't know what they were discussing. The discussion came to lunch time. Emperor Tiancheng wanted to stay with Zhuang Xiucheng for dinner, but Zhuang Chengxiu didn't dare. He is an old minister of the Eastern Palace, how could he? I don't know some grievances, but he knows that today he hates King Sishui and King Lu, but he thinks that the hatred comes from Queen Hu, so it's normal to dislike the two sons-in-law, but even so, as a subject, he has to persuade him It is our duty.

"Your Majesty, the King of Jibei is full of filial piety, and the two His Royal Highnesses also follow the brotherhood. If not, you see... I can see that the minister has been away for many months, and the old mother at home is really worried. Today, you raise your hand and let go." You should go back. I came back yesterday and haven't spoken to my mother yet..." Zhuang Chengxiu has a good relationship with Jinshang, and when he spoke, he carried the intimacy of the former minister of the Eastern Palace.

Zhao Chunrun raised his face to look at him, smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Are you afraid of hurting you, or do you want to talk about my family affairs, and you don't want to get involved?"

Zhuang Chengxiu laughed aloud: "I don't dare, it's just that it's getting late, Your Majesty is eating some food now, it's better to take care of the dragon's body... As for the meat, it's better to use some, it's not a problem to always be a vegetarian..."

Emperor Tian Cheng waved his hand: "Forget it, you go, you are just a delicate heart, I'm afraid you will suffer a little loss. Get out!"

Zhuang Chengxiu got out, and when he was leaving the Shuize Palace, he passed by the Grand Tutor Hu Ji who was kneeling at the door, and now Zhuang Chengxiu was not as upright as before, when he saw Hu Ji kneeling there, he couldn't help it He was so happy, but he didn't show it on his face, and he went over with good intentions, standing on the side with a sincere face and reminding a few words: "Oh, old teacher, you are old and have retired. Now What's the matter with kneeling here? Isn't this difficult for my lord? I didn't know you were kneeling here, and I didn't listen to what they said, or I would have come out early..."

Taifu Hu was angry, flicked his sleeves, and snorted vigorously: "Go yourself, don't worry about me, go! Go!"
