[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

Inside the Chonghua Palace, which was heavily covered with plain gauze, was silent.Yun Xuan retreated all the attendants, sat in front of the desk, the ink brush hovered over the open memorial, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was having trouble making a decision.

Sitting next to Yunxuan, Si Ming in black was holding a cup of fragrant tea, floating the tea powder with the tea lid, took a sip, and looked at the beautiful spring scenery outside the window leisurely.

"Establish or abolish, it's just a matter of one stroke, I thought you thought it through." After a long time, the silent chief minister put down his teacup and looked at the still hesitant emperor.

Yun Xuan sighed, finally put down the vermilion pen, closed the memorial that had been open for a long time, and said with a smile: "They forced me to become the crown prince so early, do you think I'm dying?"

Wu Yuan stood up, walked to the case table, opened the closed memorial by Yunxuan in his hand, and took a look at it: "It is a good thing to establish the crown prince early, but Yunyuan is not a good candidate after all."

Yun Xuan nodded: "Whether it is because of destiny or because of my preference, Yunluan should be established."

"Then we have to think about how to bring him back." Wu Yuan threw the memorial into a pile of rejected memorials, pressed his hand on the memorial, and made a decision for Yunxuan, "Who should pick him up? "

"Yunfeng's Wind Cavalry Army can't move, Tianyu Army is in Qingyi's hands, Qingyi can't leave either, Tianlin Army is in Dongxun Country, there is no one in my hands." Yun Xuan raised his head, looking for help Looking at Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan pondered for a while, and said for a long time, "Gu Minglan is still dying?"

Yun Xuan smiled wryly: "Qing Yi has already gone to ask him to return to court, but he refused seven times."

"It's really stubborn." Wu Yuan sighed, "In terms of status and fame, it's perfect for him to pick up the eldest son."

"Yes." Yun Xuan nodded, "I made a wrong move."

Wu Yuan chuckled, walked to the carved window lattice, stretched out his hand and folded down a Ming Ninghua plant that crossed the window lattice: "General Yu is also a person who uses deep affection, if you want to persuade such a person, you can only use affection to wake him up." .”

"Could it be that you have a solution?" Yun Xuan asked.

Wu Yuan said with a half-smile, "Someone has already gone."

The gray-haired old man was concentrating on polishing the newly made abrasive tool. He picked up the file in his old hand, nimbly gouged out a piece of sawdust, and inserted an iron nail as thick as a finger into the dug groove.After a few simple actions, a lightweight crossbow machine was completed.The old man put the crossbow machine he just finished aside, picked up the file, and continued to make the next crossbow machine.

Gu Minglan had been watching for a long time, and he estimated that he could make a decent one by himself after watching for another hour or two.

"Look at it! Just look at it! Don't know how to help?" Hu Xun stopped his work, glared at the apprentice who had been watching him for a long time, and scolded, "It's okay to pass me a file!"

After Hu Xun finished speaking, he handed a file to his eyes.Hu Xun was so angry that his gray beard was about to stand on end. After Gu Minglan resigned from office three years ago, he seemed to be a different person. At the beginning, he liked Gu Minglan's quick-witted mind and prudence, but now the only apprentice he took in has become Lazy and lazy, come to see him when you remember, and not come for more than half a year when you can't remember.

"Go, go, stay there!" Hu Xun waved his hand irritably, he no longer expected Gu Minglan.

Gu Minglan knew what Fox was looking for, the manufacture of the Thousand Machine Crossbow had already been completed, and the army trained for this weapon had also been formed, but the general of this army resigned.When Hu Xun saw that his efforts were in vain, he was naturally annoyed, and all his anger was directed at Gu Minglan, the culprit.

"Teacher, I'm here this time..."

"You came here this time because you got tired of staying at home, so you came to see if my old man is dead." Hu Xun snorted sullenly, and the file forcefully dug a hole in the grinding tool, perhaps with too much force , the notch was dug a bit too big, and it leaked as soon as the iron nail went in.Hu Xun angrily threw the file on the table, slapped off the sawdust falling from his body, stood up, and looked down at his unsatisfactory apprentice.When meeting Gu Minglan many years ago, Hu Xun knew that the young man in front of him was a very intelligent person, and as expected, Gu Minglan made exactly the same one within two days after teaching Gu Minglan. Xun Daxi chased after Gu Minglan to accept this apprentice, and taught him all he had, but in the past three years, Gu Minglan's transformation made Hu Xunhen have to recognize this apprentice.In his room is the first gun made by Gu Minglan when he was an apprentice. Hu Xun would pick it up to look at it from time to time, sighing while looking at it, even though he scolded Gu Minglan in Gu Minglan's ear, but Gu Minglan couldn't walk by himself It is futile to persuade anyone to get out of the prison.

"The teacher misunderstood the students." Gu Minglan looked serious, showing seriousness for the first time in three years.

"Misunderstanding?!" Hu Xun's gray eyebrows raised high, "Could it be that the general who has been unarmored for three years has decided to put on his armor again? Heh, do you think I'm really old and confused?!" Hu Xun pointed at Gu Minglan He was so angry that his fingers trembled, he naturally hoped that Gu Minglan could become an official again, but in the past three years, his expectations for this apprentice have been wiped out.Just look at the lazy Gu Minglan in front of him, asking him to lead the army in battle will undoubtedly lead to death.

Gu Minglan nodded, her eyes lit up: "It's still the teacher who understands the students."

Hearing Gu Minglan's words, Hu Xun's trembling fingers suddenly stopped. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the student sitting on the chair with a calm expression in disbelief. After a long time, he raised his mouth and asked, "What do you mean?" real?"

Gu Minglan nodded again: "Yes, the student knows that you don't believe me, teacher, so he brought something here." Gu Minglan raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sly smile, and he put the book that had been hidden in his sleeve for a long time on the table superior.

The fire in the room was bright, and as soon as the book was placed on the table by Gu Minglan, Hu Xun could clearly see the four smeared characters on the book - Thousand Machines Atlas!

""The Atlas of Thousand Machines"?!" Hu Xun hurriedly took the book in his hand, weighed it carefully, pondered back and forth carefully, his old fingers touched the cover of the book reverently, and carefully opened the cover, each page has a different shape His weapon making method and map are recorded in detail in this thin book page.

"It's really "Atlas of Thousand Machines"!" Hu Xun was ecstatic, his withered eyes in the sunken eyes instantly became bright, he stuffed "Atlas of Thousand Machines" into his arms, and held Gu Minglan tightly He said with his hand, "Where did you get it? Wasn't Mo Jun arrested? Wasn't he in Yan Kong?" Hu Xun was already incoherent with excitement, and kept asking.

"Mo Jingzhi got it from Mo Juan and gave it to my people." Gu Minglan didn't go into too much detail, he glanced at Hu Xun lightly.

Hu Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again. He only had this "Atlas of Thousand Machines" in his eyes. As for how Gu Minglan got this thing, he didn't care.

"Teacher, can you trust me this time?" Gu Minglan asked with a smile.

"You boy!" Hu Xun scolded with a smile, and then felt that something was wrong, and asked again, "You can't make fun of me, hand things into my hands, and then leave it alone?"

Gu Minglan shook her head helplessly: "Teacher, I'm going to meet the king tomorrow, you still don't believe me?"

"Oh?" Hu Xun was skeptical.

Gu Minglan didn't stay with Hu Xun for too long, he got up and said goodbye to Hu Xun, but Hu Xun didn't send him off, and went to study "Atlas of Thousand Machines".

After Gu Minglan walked for a while, Hu Xun raised his head and closed the "Atlas of Thousand Machines". Looking at the closed door, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.Although Gu Minglan told him that he would put on his armor again, Hu Xun felt that Gu Minglan was no longer the old Gu Minglan, there seemed to be a sense of tranquility in him, and he was not as calm as before.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?Hu Xun was not sure.

Qingyi finally got his wish and walked into Gu Minglan's mansion. The red pomegranate flowers in the garden were in full bloom. Qingyi let the old servant not have to worry about himself, and walked back and forth in the courtyard full of pomegranate flowers Walking over again, he occasionally stretched out his hands to lower the flower branches, counted the red pomegranate flowers on the branches, and then counted the number of petals of the pomegranate flowers.When he had almost finished counting the red pomegranate flowers in the courtyard, he heard a brisk sound of horseshoes in front of the door.

Qingyi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around, and before Gu Minglan could reach the door, he bowed to the person who walked in front of the door: "General Yu."

Gu Minglan nodded, helped Qingyi up, and smiled casually: "The news came back so soon?"

Qingyi was slightly startled when he straightened up. He always felt that Gu Minglan's tone was not as usual, as if he was a different person. Qingyi felt that this strange feeling was a little familiar. When he raised his head, he met Gu Minglan's distant eyes. At that time, Qingyi instantly thought of a person——Mo Jingzhi.

"Yes, the lord ordered me to wait for the general here, please go to Chonghua Palace for a while." Qing Yi suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said with a smile.

Gu Minglan turned around, faced the door, reached out and brushed the red pomegranate branch blocking her forehead, and said, "Let's go."

"Teacher, that's the way to go?" Qingyi was stunned. At this time, Gu Minglan was wearing a black toga and her hair was untied. It was really inappropriate to enter Chonghua Palace like this.

Gu Minglan didn't seem to hear Qingyi's surprise, she turned her back to Qingyi and said, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong?Very wrong!Qingyi wailed in her heart, but she hadn't seen her for three years, how could Gu Minglan become so casual.What Qingyi said to Gu Minglan when he was pruning the Shuangtang flowers back then is still clear in his ears.When did that cautious Gu Minglan, who had an overview of the overall situation, become so casual?

"Teacher won't change clothes?" Qingyi had to remind Gu Minglan.

Gu Minglan raised her hand to look at her sleeve, then put it down, and shook her head lightly: "Let's go like this."

"This..." Qingyi paused, and said with a bitter face, "There are not only the king in Chonghua Palace, but also other courtiers. Teacher, you should change your clothes."

Gu Minglan turned around and said with a smile: "It's only been three years, have there been more rules in the palace?"

Qingyi pursed her lips and said nothing, there are so many rules in the palace, the ruler will cut some down by decree at the beginning of next year, but Gu Minglan has not entered the palace for many years.
