I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

There was a solemn scene in the palace, and the palace people everywhere did not dare to move around at will, and the maids cleaning the roadside were even more trembling and did not dare to lift their heads, but all they saw was a mighty warrior standing in three steps, Standing guard with □□.

Gu Zhu followed Eunuch Zhou to meet the person whom he hadn't seen for a long time. At first, he wasn't too nervous, but as soon as he saw his father's back, he always felt that something was wrong, and he felt extremely guilty.

His palms were probably sweating a little, and the kid who was holding him gave him a strange look, looking at him worriedly, as if thinking that he was also afraid of Xie Chongfeng.

Walking into a wide green tile gate and stepping into a yard neatly paved with boulders, Gu Zhu and others came to the upper study room.

The upper study room is different from what Gu Zhu imagined or in the TV series. It is not a study room, nor is it a big palace, but a courtyard with three entrances. The room in the middle is the most spacious and beautiful, with two floors. , There are countless rare treasures on the second floor, and countless books on the first floor.

The side room is half smaller than the side room of Changle Palace, but the window is facing the beautiful small pond. The small pond in early winter is very deserted. At a glance, even the fish are not lively, but it is still beautiful.

When following Zhou Fu into the wing of the upper study room, the first thing Gu Zhu saw was the arc-shaped window. He liked such an exquisite window, and then he saw Xie Chongfeng sitting casually.

Xie Chongfeng was sitting on a heavy official hat chair, holding the memorial in one hand, and the vermilion writing brush in the other. The brush seemed not long in the man's hand, and the black barrel was dotted with golden patterns. The hands are set off extremely slender.

Gu Zhu saw Xie Chongfeng leaning on the official hat chair, with his legs crossed naturally and placed on the wide table in front of him, his boots were clean and looked like they were newly replaced.

"General, someone is here." Eunuch Zhou stepped forward to report in a soft voice.

Gu Zhu was nervous. He didn't know what identity he was using to meet Xie Chongfeng. Of course, it would be better to take the identity of the young master. If it was the identity of his former lover, it would be too shameful if he didn't recognize him. Gu Zhu No matter how thick-skinned he is, he doesn't like to be ashamed in front of his father.

As soon as he calmed down here, he heard Xie Chongfeng's deep and loose voice spreading in the silent wing room: "Well, I got it."

Eunuch Zhou voluntarily retreated, Gu Zhu looked at his father, saw his father saluted Xie Chongfeng respectfully, and said, "See General Zheng Bei."

Gu Zhu imitated his father's posture, pulled Xiao Twelve together to salute, and said the same words.

As a result, his waist was bent and he did not hear Xie Chongfeng's response.

Gu Zhu pursed her lips, and just when bad speculations were about to float in her mind, she suddenly heard the person who was pretending to read the memorial move away from the wrinkled hands, revealing a picture that she hadn't seen in a few months and was both unfamiliar and familiar. The face and facial features are still extremely handsome and compelling, even if he is almost 30 years old, he can't tell, there are only impactful sternness and elusive, daunting and powerful temperament.

Gu Zhu only glanced at it, then lowered her eyes and stopped looking.

"So it's the son-in-law. It's been a long time. Sit down." Xie Chongfeng stood up, threw the memorial in his hand on the table casually, and then waved his hand, and some palace servants removed the tea from the table beside him and replaced it with a cup of tea. Fresh tea at just the right temperature.

Gu Zhu went to sit with his father, feeling like he was being ignored, but it was fine to be ignored, as if he was just like a bottle of oil brought by his father, An An sat aside, and Xiao Twelve Each of them held a cup of tea and sipped it.

"My son-in-law, don't you know what happened today?"

After everyone sat down, Xie Chongfeng was the one who spoke first.

Gu Zhu found that this guy didn't seem to have his eyes on him for a second, and the feeling became worse after this awareness became clearer, which made him feel that he had thought so much before, as if he was self-indulgent.

The old man also kept silent about the previous relationship between him and Xie Chongfeng, and only said: "It's nothing, I just sent the twelve princes back to the palace, and went to see the eldest princess by the way, who knows that the eldest princess can't think about it for a while. Yes, I have gone. In this way, I am not a consort, so I thought of coming here and asking the general to withdraw my title of concubine."

"Eldest princess can't think about it like this, it's okay, the general will send someone to bury her, but I'm afraid that none of the descendants left by the late emperor will be useful, and I don't know if we can handle the errands of the crying spirit well."

Crying spirit is a tradition in Daxing.

After half of the elders die, as the younger generation, they have to cry for three days and three nights before they can be called filial piety.

When Gu Zhu was young, he followed his father back to the funeral of his second uncle. At that time, he was still young and couldn't cry, so he learned how to howl together and get away with it.

Speaking of this time, as the princess's child, shouldn't he cry along with him?

Logically speaking, it should be, but... Gu Zhu glanced at his father, his father would definitely not be willing.

I didn't know what father said to the princess before, but the princess's mother ran over so excitedly, and committed suicide in front of him just like that...

Gu Zhu was curious, but dared not ask.

There are many problems in Gu Zhu's head, and if there are too many problems, the computer will crash, and by the way, he unconsciously snapped his fingers.

When clasping his fingers, a gaze fell on his still unattractive right hand. Gu Zhu realized almost instantly that it was Xie Chongfeng's, so he stopped clasping, but he didn't look at that person, just quietly listening to his father. Talk to that person.

"Speaking of which, there is still one thing I need to ask the general for help."

"What's the matter? It's okay for Mr. Gu to speak directly."

Gu Jinchen: "It's Bai Wang, the young master of the Cao Gang. He has some kindness with our family, but because of unavoidable reasons, he was tied to the same boat with the treacherous minister Xie Zuzheng. Now that Xie Zuzheng is dead, Bai Wang's child is missing. Presumably... Is it locked up? I hope the general will forgive me."

"Oh? I don't know that there is still kindness between Bai Huang and Mr. Gu?" Xie Chongfeng's voice was flat, unable to hear the joy or anger, "It's a pity that no matter who it is, even my own mother, it's a traitor who commits crimes like this. Regarding the matter of Ke, I have to kill my relatives righteously, no matter whether I have difficulties or not, isn't Mr. Gu embarrassing this general?"

Gu Zhu raised her head instantly, frowning slightly.

"According to what the general said, Bai Wang wants to share the crime with the rebellious Xie Zuzheng?"

"Exactly." Xie Chongfeng smiled, "Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Gu. After all, if I am spared this white crime, tomorrow I don't know how many people will come to me crying and want me to forgive their benefactors. Then is there any law of the king? It's really hard for me to do it."

Gu Zhu was impatient, and couldn't help but asked: "I said it because I have a hard time, and besides, he is not the mastermind, so is it possible that he will be beheaded as well?"

As soon as he said this, the two luminous bodies sitting side by side looked at him at the same time, one was his father, his eyes were gloomy, and his eyes said 'I made you talk? ’, and the other is his ex-boyfriend, with a bottomless prey hidden in his dark pupils, as if to say, ‘Do you care so much? '

Gu Zhu's throat choked, and she pinched her cheek with her fingers, aggrieved.

Little Twelve didn't know, so he was even more at a loss in this quietness, but when he saw his little cousin being glared at by the two, he plucked up the courage to grab his left hand, trying to make his little cousin go away from him. There is some strength being felt here, too.

Gu Zhu's heart warmed, she pinched the child's chubby fingers, and told the child not to be afraid.

The two men on the opposite side were still talking about court affairs, from the flood in Qingzhou to the Northwest War.

It can be heard that the father is also very concerned about the Hun princess's escape from Daxing, which shows that Daxing was infiltrated a long time ago, otherwise such a living person could not disappear out of thin air.

That's right, Gu Zhu heard from Patriarch Taki that when he was young, his father was also an aspiring young man who took the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility. Later, he was forced to marry, and his ambition was unfulfilled. In the end, he became like this...

"Although the royal court of the Xiongnu was destroyed, the Huns who were nomads can take root everywhere. I am afraid that it will not be long before many tribes can be united. This has been repeated, which is extremely detrimental to Daxing. Fengying, fighting now will only make things worse." Gu Jinchen took a sip of tea and said, "However, I have a way to solve the problems of grain and grass transportation and the emptiness of the national treasury."

"Oh? Master Gu, please tell me."

"The Bai family of the Cao Gang has quite a lot of money. Let them pay 1000 million taels to buy the life of his only son. What does the general think?"

Xie Chongfeng sneered: "What am I supposed to be, only 1000 million taels? If I eradicate the Cao Gang, will I get more than 1000 million taels?"

"Now is the troubled season. When the Cao Gang is eradicated, all the river transportation will be paralyzed. Now many people in Chang'an can't even afford fresh vegetables. If the river is abandoned, they may not even be able to afford rice. If you want to change people Presiding over the Cao Gang, I'm afraid you won't get started so quickly, doesn't the general even know about this?"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Gu probably doesn't know that the Bai family is not alone in the Cao Gang. I have a lot of friendship with the Cao Gang in Jingzhou. If I want to give them such a large area in Yangzhou, they will be happy to tidy up the river quickly. The people in Chang'an can't even afford rice."

"The general really has a lot of talents."

"No, no, no master Gu is good at it."

Gu Zhu was a little sleepy when he heard the two men fighting each other, and couldn't help it. He yawned a little, and was immediately stared at by the two opposite men: What are you doing?Yawning is not allowed?

Gu Zhu sat upright, put his hands on his legs, blinked his big eyes, and prepared to listen carefully, so that you all have no objections, right?

"Speaking of the war in the Northwest, General Xie is really a man of God." Gu Jinchen continued, "I heard that the Xiongnu just tried repeatedly and did not dare to use their main force to fight against the general. He tried to test the strength of the Huns, but he didn’t know what was going on, because he knew that there was a change in Chang’an, so he quickly took the risk to end the war and came back to speak for him?”

Gu Zhu was also curious. Everyone was looking forward to Xie Chongfeng's return before. Both Xie Zuzheng and the princess lady thought that Xie Chongfeng was from their side, so they were all looking forward to it. However, there was no movement there for a long time, as if they were deliberately dragging their feet and unwilling to come back. .

But soon the situation seemed to change. This change happened overnight. The next day, I heard that the army was rebelling against the dynasty. Three days later, that is, yesterday, Xie Chongfeng arrived in Chang'an. It was so fast, it was unbelievably fast, three days What is the reason for rushing back after three nights without rest?

Everyone can't figure it out.

Xie Chongfeng, who was questioned, did not give an answer. He just lowered his eyes, smiled, shook his head, and when he raised his eyelids again, his eyes fell on the Twelfth Prince: "The Twelfth Prince has something to say to me. General said?"

Suddenly, Xiao Twelve, who was stared at by Xie Chongfeng, who was like a ghost in his heart, couldn't breathe for an instant, his little face was stiff, his legs trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were moist and red, and he couldn't say anything for a while, just She squeezed Gu Zhu's hand tighter and tighter.

Seeing this, Gu Zhu couldn't help but opened her mouth and said, "Return to General, Little Twelve was not here yesterday. I heard... I heard that you helped the second prince get rid of the usurping eldest prince and Empress Xie Zuzheng yesterday, and let the second prince get rid of the usurper. The prince went up, but it was a pity that the second prince was not so lucky, and asked the other descendants of the Cao family who would like to sit on the dragon chair, and I don’t know if this still counts now. Xiao Twelve, he is willing.”

"Just him?" Xie Chongfeng's voice carried a scornful smile.

Xiao Twelve trembled all over.

Gu Zhu nodded: "What do you mean it's him?"

"I mean, he's only three years old, should he go up to nurse or let the officials play house with him?" When Xie Chongfeng spoke this time, he turned his gaze to Huizhu's body, and his gaze fell on Gu Zhu's right hand as if it were real , then stroked from the right hand to the shoulder, and stayed on the speaking lips from the shoulder.

Gu Zhu is not used to this kind of gaze, the overly sharp gaze is like a small knife with no temperature, piercing into the flesh and scraping all the way from the bone.

He felt his scalp tingling almost instantly, as if he was standing on the edge of danger, with no way out, even if he took a step back, something unknown would bite his throat.

"Three years old, isn't it always just three years old? He will grow up, and he will be fine when he grows up. Didn't you and the ministers check it out before?" Gu Zhu bit the bullet and continued to speak for Xiao Twelve.

"Help? Each of the ministers said a word, who did he listen to? If someone is good at pleasing him, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others without knowing it? Only three years old, what would he think? When his brothers heard that they were going to sit Going to the dragon chair, he was so scared that he peed his pants, he might have already started peeing now."

Little Twelve gritted his teeth, summoned up the courage to look up at Xie Chongfeng, but under the latter's extremely indifferent gaze, Little Twelve felt as if he was being strangled by the neck, and the air became thinner. He knew he couldn't do it, but If everyone doesn't go up, and everyone doesn't go to sit, wouldn't the throne really be Xie? !

Little Twelve doesn't hate Xie Chongfeng, but Xie Chongfeng sheds the blood of Xie's family.

Little Twelve didn't appreciate Xie Chongfeng either, it was because Xie Chongfeng's surname was Xie.

thank.

The emperor father never escaped the word in his whole life, even if he changed his surname to Gu in this world, he couldn't be Xie!

"I, I listen to my cousin!" Little Twelve suddenly said, "I don't listen to anyone, but as long as it is what my cousin says, I will listen."

Gu Jinchen who was at the side frowned slightly.

Xie Chongfeng didn't expect the twelve princes to drag Gu Zhu to the front.

Gu Zhu was also slightly taken aback, thinking that it was a mistake for this silly boy to hug his thigh, he should say that he would not listen to anyone but only Xie Chongfeng.

But when I thought about it again, I felt a strange sense of familiarity.

If Xiao Twelve listened to Xie Chongfeng no matter what, and let Xie Chongfeng handle everything, wouldn't Xiao Twelve be the next emperor's uncle?Is Xie Chongfeng the next old man?

Wouldn't the endless hatred between the Cao family and the Xie family continue into the future?

What a headache...

Now it seems that Xiao Shier and Xie Chongfeng don't have any deep hatred, but it will never be like this in the future.

When Xiao Twelve grows up, he will be the emperor. Looking at Xiao Twelve, he will definitely not be a salted fish emperor when he grows up. He is ambitious and has backbone, just like his uncle. Such a Xiao Twelve must be He would not allow a courtier to yell and drink in front of him, but what about Xie Chongfeng?He has great achievements, is domineering, and looks down on the Cao family, all of which will drive Xiao Shier crazy.

But if you want him to act as a lubricant in the middle, how can he do it?

Before Gu Zhu could figure it out, he saw Xiao Twelve knelt down for him very quickly, and then kowtowed loudly, hitting his head heavily on the ground, and when he got up, there was a red mark: "Twelve remembers that after the death of the father, I left a letter to my cousin alone, hoping that my cousin can help my second brother to stabilize the country. Now that my second brother is gone, Xiao Shier is willing to make my cousin the regent after he ascends the throne, assisting the 12th. Everything is willing to listen to my cousin, no matter what!"

"stand up!"

It was Gu Jinchen who said this.

Gu Zhu was taken aback by the scolding.

"Your cousin is going back to Yangzhou, how can he be your regent?" Gu Jinchen wants to go back to his base camp to take care of Zhuzhu for a period of time. If his hand is not properly nursed, it will hurt bitterly in winter or when it rains.

Furthermore, Gu Jinchen didn't want his precious Zhuzhu to be involved in this mess, he just wanted his Zhuzhu to be a leisurely, rich and noble person.

Finally, it was Xie Chongfeng who was beside him.

This General Xie is very ambitious. Don't look at the saying that as long as the descendants of the Cao family are willing, they can sit on the dragon chair directly. It sounds generous. In fact, the throne in hand is like a boiled duck. How could it be possible? Let it go?

"it is good."

kindness?

Gu Jinchen was stunned to hear Xie Chongfeng utter the word 'good' from his mouth.

Gu Zhu was also surprised, looking at Xie Chongfeng opposite, and then heard the other party continue: "In this case, when you choose a day to ascend the throne, let's announce the decree. But since the twelve princes have decided to let Hou Ye temporarily handle state affairs, then why not?" Please go back first with the Prince Consort and the Twelve Princes, this General and the Regent have a state affairs to discuss."

"Come here, send the son-in-law and the twelve princes out."

The new regent Gu Zhu's heart beat faster for a second, and he realized belatedly that the next thing he was going to discuss with Xie Chongfeng was not to discuss state affairs, but to discuss private matters with Tie Zhuzhu...

From the very beginning, I was afraid that it was to discuss private matters, and everything before that was to pave the way for this moment.

Even if it is... promised to let Xiao Twelve ascend the throne.

All for now, for him.
