Wearing the white moonlight of a rival

"Wh... what?" Gu Heng stood firm, "Big Brother, Second Brother, don't do anything, let me stand alone?"

Gu Zhuo said anxiously: "You are the protagonist today, and Zhongshushe has to ask you to be present to announce the imperial edict, hurry up!"

"What edict?" Gu Heng was puzzled.

Gu Zhuo pulled Gu Heng's arm and walked out, "What else can I order? You will know after listening, anyway, the little official kept congratulating me and said that the Gu family has a nobleman."

The word "noble man" fell on Gu Heng's head like a stone. Gu Heng was dizzy, but he also realized that it must be Wei Minghuan's mad dog.

When they came to the atrium of the main hall, the junior officials of Zhongshushe recognized Gu Heng at first sight, almost subconsciously pulled out a smiling face, took two steps towards him slightly, and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Heng."

Gu Heng nodded politely, "Thank you, little official."

"Then let's announce the edict." Gu Yu said in a warm voice, and the small official of Zhongshushe retracted the smile on his face and returned to a serious look.

Then he opened the bright yellow silk in his hand, and Gu Heng was shocked for a moment when he saw these details.

There are grades for the issuance of Wei pilgrimage edicts. The most common one is a piece of rice paper. For example, white silk is used for draft edicts, and bright yellow is used for higher-level ones. Chu, such as the death of the emperor and so on.

Gu Heng thought that Wei Minghuan's edict this time should not reach the level of Huang Zhao, but it was just to choose a male concubine. As Gan Anbo said, if his surname Wei wants to sit on the throne for another few decades, I'm afraid It is not so arrogant to register a man as a high-ranking concubine.

However, the scene in front of me...

The little official has a correct character, and he reads obscure and difficult classical Chinese, but in just a few sentences, he can read an imperial edict.

"Thank you." The little official took the imperial order in his hand, looked up at Gu Heng, "Your Royal Highness."

Concubine!

Gu Heng took a deep breath, stuck in his throat, he was stunned for a while, it was Gu Yu who pulled his robe, and he stiffly kowtowed and kowtowed.

After the ceremony, the junior official said humanely: "The canonization ceremony will be arranged by Taichang Temple itself, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also assist. Your Highness is the first master in the harem since His Majesty ascended the throne. If such a big event will cause a sensation in the whole capital, I want to come to Zhongshushe You can also get a glimpse of His Highness's glory."

Gu Heng nodded dully, and said with a smile: "Young official, you are being polite. I don't know why you call me Your Highness?"

You must know that the address in the royal family is also very particular. The emperor and the queen can be called your majesty, the prince and the princes and daughters can be called your highness, and the prince can also be called your highness, but most of the time they are called princes. distinguish.

As for the women in the harem, the concubines and above can be called empresses, and the rest are called by rank. Although the queen can be called your majesty, this is rarely used, except in the ceremonies held in Taichang Temple. Concubines, like concubines, are called empresses.

Appellation, to some extent, is also a symbol of power and status.

Even though Wei Minghuan named Gu Heng as a noble concubine, he is still not worthy of the title of His Highness, but Zhongshushe is the place closest to the emperor's decree, and it is also the place where etiquette and etiquette are the most important. I asked politely.

The little official immediately cleared up the confusion: "Your Highness, don't worry, this was decided by His Majesty himself. Because His Highness has a special status and is the head of the four concubines, second only to the Queen, he will also enter Changling to accompany His Majesty in the future. Naturally It is worthy of the title of His Highness from the ministers. This was also discussed and decided by His Majesty and the ministers in the Palace of Political Affairs this morning."

This morning, it happened that Gu's father and son did not participate.

Thinking about it, I also missed the wonderful scene of Wei Minghuan's tongue-in-cheek battle with the ministers. What about discussing with the ministers? Those old masters of the gentry place the most emphasis on etiquette and tradition. Naturally, they are not willing to make an exception for Gu Heng, unless Wei Minghuan uses some soft and hard methods. , to achieve the present purpose.

Gu Heng secretly thought, occasionally for a moment, he felt that it was a wrong choice for him to form an alliance with that mad dog Wei Minghuan?

The past six years have passed, and that kid has no powerful opponents to suppress him, nor is he under the control of the Heavenly King Lao Tzu. I am afraid that he will become even more crazy, and maybe even lose his hard-won throne.

If he is really allowed to do whatever he wants, I'm afraid he will die without a place to bury him. It's really a headache to think about it.

Seeing that Gu Heng had nothing to say, the petty official left immediately.

Holding the silk edict in his hand, Gu Heng was stunned for a while, but Gu Zhuo couldn't help laughing at him: "What's wrong, third brother, didn't His Majesty discuss this surprise with you?"

"Where is the surprise?" Gu Heng said indifferently, "He obviously put me on the charcoal fire! He really has the guts to register a man as a noble concubine. I thought..."

"Why do you still think?" Gu Zhuo asked.

Gu Heng shook his head, "I thought it was just a joke."

"I've never taken it as a joke!" A firm voice came from the door, and Gu Heng turned his head to look over. Wei Minghuan, dressed in black uniform, strode in with his hands behind his back.

"See Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted.

Wei Minghuan flicked his hands, motioning to get up, but his eyes fixed on Gu Heng.

"Master Heng doesn't seem to have any confidence in me at all." Wei Minghuan approached Gu Heng, but Gu Heng didn't back away, the distance between the two was very close.

But Gu Heng seemed to be the only one in Wei Minghuan's eyes, and he couldn't bear to give it to others even from the corner of his eye. In that deep gaze, there was a bit of anger hidden.

Seeing this, Gu Yu waved to everyone, causing them to disperse.

Then he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Hastily pulled Gu Zhuo and left.

In the huge courtyard, only Wei Minghuan and Gu Heng were left. Wei Minghuan raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Gu Heng's face. If you had a normal mind, you wouldn't have caused such an uproar in the city at this moment. Concubine, you really have the guts to issue this edict. In this world, except for the queen..."

"If it wasn't for being too ostentatious, I would even want you to be the queen." Wei Minghuan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, as if with a hint of bitterness, "I'm afraid you won't."

Gu Heng glanced at Wei Minghuan, "When did Your Majesty become so affectionate?"

Wei Minghuan moved his lips, wanting to say something.

Gu Heng didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "I think that the more lasting and reliable alliance between you and your majesty should be an alliance, so if you want to go further, you should keep a low profile. But your majesty... I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the leader of the four concubines, do you believe that tomorrow the nobles will be able to attack him together?"

Wei Minghuan looked at Gu Heng steadily, "Are you worried about me?"

"I'm worried about myself, I'm afraid that if your majesty's head gets hot, you won't even be able to sit on the throne." Gu Heng squinted at Wei Minghuan, "Why are you talking about making me the queen?"

Hearing this, Wei Minghuan was originally a little bit dissatisfied, but it suddenly melted away, and he couldn't help a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"So you still want to be my queen."

Gu Heng: "..."

Wei Minghuan stared at Gu Heng with a pair of dark eyes, Gu Heng was silent for a moment, and said: "I just don't want His Majesty to die, after all, the Gu family has already been tied to your thief ship."

"Since the thief ship is on board, there is no need to regret it. Not to mention the head of the four concubines, I wish I could marry you in a respectful way, perform the ceremony of husband and wife with you, and let everyone kneel down and call you Your Majesty the Queen. See Do those young people still dare to humiliate you?"

Hearing this, Gu Heng naturally thought of all the things that happened when he went to Zhen's house early this morning. Wei Minghuan rushed to issue an order at this moment. Could it be that he made a special trip to help him slap the Zhen's face?

But it was only an hour after he came back from Zhen's house, and he had already drawn up his will in the palace, and even argued with the ministers at the court meeting for a long time, and then rushed to Gu's house, so well-informed, fast and convenient , it can be seen how terrifying Wei Minghuan's control over Changle City has reached.

The dark guard in his hand is probably extraordinary.

Seeing that Gu Heng didn't speak, Wei Minghuan was also speechless.

After getting along for the past few days, he has already noticed the estrangement between himself and Gu Heng. It's just that today is a happy day. He tried his best to give the other the best, but he didn't get any kind words or words. It's a word of thanks, and it's a lie to say that you can't lose it.

"Gu Heng..." Wei Minghuan said suddenly.

Gu Heng raised his eyes.

Wei Minghuan looked into his eyes and sighed softly, "What should I do with you, Young Master Heng of Changting Houfu, can you tell me how I want to please you?"

"Why are you trying to please me?" Gu Heng heard these words, with his ingenuity, how could he not be able to discern the traces of affection hidden behind it?Just saying it from the mouth of the enemy who has been dead for many years, it is too contrary and too uncomfortable.

He subconsciously blurted out and asked back, with unconscious denial.

Wei Minghuan also asked softly: "What do you say I am doing?"

Gu Heng was tightly blocked, he lowered his eyelids slightly, "Your Majesty doesn't need to please your subjects. If you have to say who pleases whom, then it should be your subjects who please Your Majesty."

"But I don't want you to go out of your way to embarrass yourself." These words are too straightforward.

Gu Heng looked away and sighed.

Suddenly, a bit of guilt came from the bottom of his heart. How much hostility and targeting he had towards Wei Minghuan in the past, but now he can't respond to him in spite of his status as his sweetheart.

In the past, he did not hesitate to do anything, but he never took advantage of other people's feelings, and this is the first time.

Although he didn't want to, he also participated in it, and he didn't realize until now that it was so difficult to face.

Not only because the other party is Wei Minghuan, but also because of the guilt in his heart.

Gu Heng sighed again, "Your Majesty, the matter is now a foregone conclusion, but I still want to make it clear to you..."

"Explain what?" Wei Minghuan's pupils narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger.

Others would be afraid, but Gu Heng has been fighting this person for more than ten years, so he is naturally not afraid.

"Your Majesty is so smart, you should have seen it long ago. I agreed to your request only because the Gu family was in trouble. You mentioned this. I may not have denied it, but it is an indisputable fact."

"Shut up!" Wei Minghuan's face turned blue in an instant, "Gu Heng, do you really think I dare not do anything to you? I issued an edict, who in the world would dare not recognize your relationship with me? Your genealogy All the ancestral documents entered the Taichang Temple, and your name was engraved on the imperial jade certiorari. If you want to go back on it... that is impossible! I will try my best to kill all of your Gu family, believe it or not? "

These words sounded like Wei Minghuan, a mad dog, said. Gu Heng finally regained a sense of familiarity, and the little bit of guilt in his heart disappeared in an instant. This kid is black from the bottom of his heart.

Just now he was still talking about love, but in an instant, you die and I die. This mad dog is born to be hated by others, so there is nothing to pity.

Gu Heng thought coldly, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, Your Majesty is the king, and Gu Heng is the minister. There are differences between the emperor and the ministers. How can we be a husband and wife? There is no need to tell the ministers about those romantic words just now. If Your Majesty has something in mind It's better to keep your thoughts in your heart, so why bother me by speaking out?"

"You..." Wei Minghuan was so angry that he couldn't find a word of rebuttal for a moment, so he lost the battle of words for no reason.

Seeing this, Gu Heng immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has been out of the palace for a long time, you should go back to deal with government affairs and concentrate on government affairs, otherwise others will accuse you of charming the monarch."

"It's just you, still seducing me?" Wei Minghuan sneered, "It's a good thing not to block me, get out!"

Gu Heng didn't change his expression, "Your Majesty, this is the subject's home."

Wei Minghuan was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, "Very well, when you enter the palace another day, let's see how I deal with you, you bastard!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

He actually came to Changting Hou's mansion, and left without even having a sip of tea.
