The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

It seemed that Gu Zhai was in a bad mood for several days, and he couldn't come out of his study every day. Chu Chu also couldn't sleep well at night, and it was boring to tease little foxes during the day.

Finally, it was the day of the canonization ceremony, and the gown from the palace had arrived. Gu Zhai measured his figure perfectly, no more than a centimeter, no less than a centimeter, and it fit him perfectly.

Chu Chu picked and picked from the thirty-odd boxes of gold, silver and jade silk that Gu Zhai gave him, and in the end he only wore the fox life lock and the fox head hairpin. Examine yourself.

"It's beautiful." Gu Zhai's voice sounded clear and cold in the room, even the compliments were without warmth.

Chu Chu turned her head to look at him. He seemed to be wearing a new dress, but it was slightly different from his.

"Are you going to the Canonization Ceremony today?"

Gu Zhai's attitude was much more relaxed, "I am His Majesty's canonized envoy, and I am the official envoy."

Chu Chu recalled that when Nanny Mingming came to tailor clothes for him last time, she was not talking about him, it must be that this person was shameless, and took the job back on his own.

"Which envoy is that?" He asked curiously.

"Your father, Master Chu Muchu." Gu Zhai replied.

Chu Chu said: "Oh." He followed him out of the mansion to get into the chariot.

On the roof, an incense table, tribute candles, etc. are all ready, and the courtiers below are arranged on both sides according to their positions.

An older old minister asked below: "Who are the chief and deputy envoys for the crown prince this time?"

The young official said again: "My lord, originally His Majesty appointed a number of academicians and internal ministers to confer titles on the son, but General War God personally vetoed all of them in front of His Majesty."

The old minister was a little deaf, and asked him again: "What?"

The young official turned up his volume: "All the adults who canonized the son were rejected by General War God!"

The chariot slowly drove into the palace gate, and the voices of discussions in the surroundings quieted down. The words of the young official who were rejected by General War God could be heard clearly at this moment, and there were even subtle voices echoing.

The old minister was deaf, so he continued to ask him: "Then, did General War God recommend someone else to take over?"

The young official looked at the gradually raised curtain of the chariot, and said tremblingly: "Yes, he recommended himself..."

Gu Zhai happened to hear what he said, his eyes turned cold, covered with frost, he gave him a sharp look, turned around and stretched out his hand to help Chu Chu get out of the carriage.

"You go to the rooftop with Eunuch Liu Xi, and do as Eunuch tells you, and I'll go get the gold-made treasure." Gu Zhai said to Chu Chu.

Although Chu Chu is a general who is used to seeing bloodshed on the battlefield and coldness on the blade, it is the first time for him to accept the canonization in front of so many civil and military officials, especially when he realizes that he does not understand the etiquette of Sichuan Kingdom. There is no bottom.

Before Gu Zhai had gone far, he trotted two steps and reached out to grab his sleeve robe.

Even if Chu Chu said nothing, Gu Zhai guessed it, he gently rubbed his fingers, and wiped away the cold sweat from his palms, "Don't be afraid, Mr. Liu Xi is an old man by His Majesty's side, you It's His Majesty's nephew again, he will take good care of you, you just have to do what your father-in-law said, and I'll be back soon."

After hesitating for a long time, Chu Chu obediently let go of her hand, turned and walked towards Eunuch Liu Xi who had been waiting for him.

Gu Zhai stared straight at his back, seeing the gold-embroidered red hem stretching and swaying on the ground, the young man's back was very straight, and he went forward without turning back along the straight central corridor.

After waiting until he was no longer visible, Gu Zhai brushed off his crumpled sleeves, smiled lightly, sighed, and turned around to leave.

on the rooftop.

"Just stand in front of the altar and offer incense to the heaven." Liu Xi handed the three burning incense candles to Chu Chu's hand.

When Chu Chu was done properly, Liu Xi took back the joss stick, with a kind smile on his face, and replied respectfully: "The principal and deputy canonization envoys will come over later to present the book treasure to you, the son, and when the book treasure is finished, Having received congratulations from all the officials, you are the youngest prince in the history of Dachuan, and this old slave congratulates you first."

"My father-in-law is very polite." The man's voice came from a distance, all smiling, and answered him for Chu Chu.

Holding a gold book treasure in his hand, and brocade clothes, he put his arms around Chu Chu's shoulders, and winked at Chu Chu, "As I said, it will be soon."

Master Chu Muchu coughed softly at the side, Chu Chu felt a little shy for a moment, and slipped out from under his clothes, Gu Zhai was even happier.

After a long time, he bowed his hands to Chu Mu, "Let's start now, please ask my father-in-law to read the imperial edict for Jing Xi."

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor issued an imperial edict saying that Chu's family is quiet and talented, and is hereby granted the title of King of the Mausoleum by the grace of the Holy Grace. I will respond to the code immediately, and hereby." [1]

Chu Mu raised his hand and threw the edict into the brazier and burned it.

Gu Zhai handed over the heavy treasure in his hand to Chu Chu, signaling him to hold it steady.

Mr. Liu Xi called out in his sharp voice:

"Li Cheng—"

"Congratulations, my lord."

"Congratulations, my lord."

……

……

The voices of congratulations from the courtiers were endless, echoing under the majestic rooftop.

Chu Chu really couldn't bear it, he moved a step behind Gu Zhai, Gu Zhai was already taller than him, so he could be completely covered by this.

Gu Zhai didn't take it seriously, he grabbed the little man behind him and pushed him forward until he reached the edge of the platform, forcing him to look directly below.

"You hide behind me because you want me to accept the congratulations from the officials?" Gu Zhai said.

Chu Chu felt that it was really unnecessary for the officials to congratulate him, so it was enough to read out the edict and respect the heaven and the earth.

Gu Zhai also stepped forward and stood by his side, together with him, he looked at the people under the roof.

"Standing on the rooftop with such an extremely high honor may be the only time in your life. You are still so reluctant. How many people want to stand on the rooftop like you and be sealed? What are you thinking in your head? "

He took out the towel and wiped off the new sweat on Chu Chu's forehead.

"Do you want to too?" Chu Chu asked him against the scorching heat in the wind.

"Want to hear the truth?" Gu Zhai asked him sideways.

Chu Chu nodded.

"Men are eager to make meritorious deeds and strive for glory, and I can't be exempt," he said.

So you are going to slaughter other countries for your merits and karma?Then you are no different from those tyrannical people in the Southern Man, Chu Chu thought.

Chu Chu suddenly realized that he was different from him. At least in his own heart, the priority was for the people to live in peace and contentment and the world to enjoy peace. He only wanted to protect, not plunder.

He thought that he could understand Gu Zhai better as he got closer to him these days, but he thought of the phrase "a compassionate heart like a saint" that Gu Zhai said in his dream, and felt a little funny.

It was he who forgot that he and he were fundamentally inconsistent, after all, they had different ways and did not conspire with each other.

Chu Chu's face turned cold, and he just watched indifferently as the officials congratulated him on the rooftop.

His mind was confused for some reason, he questioned himself, why do he care so much, what kind of person Gu Zhai is, he always just needs to take care of himself, he is just putting on this body and playing with him every time, That's all.

Gu Zhai sensed the change in Chu Chu's state of mind, he thought he was young and hadn't been through a big scene, and he was frightened for a while, secretly blaming himself for being a bit harsh.

Let him walk through hundreds of officials alone and push him to look directly at the courtiers from a high place. He is only seventeen, and he grew up under the doting of his parents. When he was seventeen, he was already fighting alone in the battlefield. He is different from him. .

"On this matter, let's not make an example. I won't force you to do things you don't like in the future." He coaxed him patiently.

He thought that if he didn't like the ceremony of conferring a king, he would report it to the majesty, and make everything simple; if he was afraid of the eyes of these courtiers and officials, then he would not let him see them; Let him be happier, don't frown in such bitterness and worry, it makes him feel very uncomfortable.

During the day and night when Chu Chu became king, Chu Chu, who hadn’t had a nightmare for a long time, fell into a nightmare again. Zhou Yun, who served him, was the first to notice the clue, and hurried to inform Gu Zhai, but Gu Zhai couldn’t wake him up no matter how he yelled. He, the old imperial doctor came to the General's mansion overnight, and still prescribed the soothing soup according to the previous prescription.

After pouring one bowl, two bowls, three bowls... of soothing soup, Chu Chu couldn't wake up alive.

When the old doctor left, he shook his head and said: "It must be because of excessive worry that the internal stagnation of the five internal organs has relapsed. It is caused by the inner demon. The old man is helpless. It can only be said that the heart disease still needs heart medicine."

Gu Zhai stayed by Chu Chu's side all the time, and fed him a dose of soup every half an hour. Around Yin's time, Chu Chu finally got better, and his lips moved.

"I want to go back..."

"I want to go back to Ling..."

"I don't want to be here anymore..."

The author has something to say: [1] Don't be too serious about the nonsense imperial decree.

Chu: Worrying is too much and a nightmare breaks out, needing all kinds of coaxing~

Gu: Coax~ I really have nothing to do with you! (Hold tight + feed sweets)
