Xiaolou listened to the wind and rain all night

The first emperor was buried in Xiling after seven days of mourning.

In the end, it was the emperor's funeral. 72 people carried the golden nanmu coffin out of Donghua Gate, 64 people who led banners walked in front of the coffin, and behind the coffin were heavily armed Nanjing soldiers.

Then there are civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor.

The new emperor decreed that the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an should pick off their crown tassels and wear plain onyx within 27 days.Marriage is not allowed within one month, slaughter is not allowed within 49 days, prayers and sacrifices are not allowed for 27 days, and entertainment activities are stopped within [-] days.

Nanjing ushered in a new chapter.

After the huge funeral, we have to deal with the affairs of the living.

The Imperial City Division was in a state of depression.The autumn leaves fell all over the ground, and I couldn't even sweep them clean.In the pavilion by the small lake in the backyard, Gu Xiaotian was sitting leisurely on a bench, watching the servants pack their things from afar.Mo Huaijin waited by the side, listening to Gu Xiaotian's explanation.

Holding hot tea, Gu Xiaotian explained casually: "I really can't let go of the Imperial City Secretary after I leave, so there are some things that I have to tell you."

Mo Huaijin bowed his head and said: "Your Excellency, just give orders, and my subordinates will assist Yan Tisi to keep the imperial city safe."

Gu Xiaotian shook his head and stroked his gray beard: "It's not Yunyou, it's you. This promotion position is originally for you."

Mo Huaijin vaguely guessed something in his heart, which made him a little panicked, and he said anxiously: "Why don't you go to see the emperor again? There is still room for return to the world."

"No need." Gu Xiaotian shook his head, put the teacup aside and said, "I'm old and tired. Besides, this is the order of the former emperor, so how can I embarrass the new emperor. When I return to Jinling, I will also Rest assured."

Mo Huaijin knew that what Gu Xiaotian said was very reasonable, but he still couldn't help asking: "Why did your lord choose me?"

Gu Xiaotian sighed: "Because you have this ability. Yunyou has only been in the position of commissioner for one year. At that time, I told him that a tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. He is young and vigorous , I have made too many enemies. If I entrust this burden to him again, I am afraid it will not work. Besides, I have never thought of handing it over to Yun You as the Secretary of the Imperial City. You should be the clearest about what kind of existence it is. Yun You is too soft-hearted, and the Secretary of the Imperial City cannot be entrusted to him. After I leave, you must immediately find someone to take your place. I have asked you to come here today, and I have one more thing to ask You explain."

After Gu Xiaotian finished speaking these words in one breath, he closed his eyes again.

It was cold tomorrow, but Mo Huaijin felt that he was breaking out in a cold sweat again: "My lord, please tell me."

"You must protect Yunyou thoroughly. He has a lot to do with the two lords. No matter what happens in the future, as long as the Secretary of the Imperial City is still alive and your promotion is still alive, you must protect him for a day. Gu Xiaotian sighed: "It's not that I'm partial to him, it's that he can't make me feel at ease."

Mo Huaijin bowed his head and said: "The subordinates all understand that they will definitely do well what the adults have told them."

Gu Xiaotian lay on his back, as if he was talking to himself: "I have lived long enough in this life. I am afraid that I will never come back when I return to Jiangnan this time. You and Mo Chu must work together in the future. Stop messing around."

This old man who is over seventy years old really knows everything.

"Yes." Mo Huaijin agreed with his head bowed.Gu Xiaotian single-handedly promotes him, and he will try his best to do everything.Looking up and seeing Yan Yunyou approaching from a distance, he whispered: "My lord, Yan Tisi is here."

Gu Xiaotian opened his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Go down first. Remember what I said today."

Mo Huaijin said: "Yes!"

Then he walked out of the pavilion and met Yan Yunyou face to face.

Yan Yunyou held a thick robe in his hand, and put it on Gu Xiaotian's body as soon as he walked over: "It's cold, master catch a cold carefully."

Gu Xiaotian didn't move, Ren Yanyunyou put on clothes for himself.Then he said: "You came here to give me this old bone?"

"What did Master say?" Yan Yunyou replied with a smile: "Master, you are going back to Jinling tomorrow, so don't work too hard today, just rest well."

"Yunyou." Gu Xiaotian said seriously, "As soon as I leave tomorrow, Huaijin will take over the promotion."

Yan Yunyou's expression didn't change: "It doesn't matter who takes the promotion position, as long as you leave Chang'an and return to Jinling."

"Why?" Gu Xiaotian rarely asked why.He continued: "A few days before the late emperor passed away, did you ever enter the palace?"

"Yes." Yan Yunyou's eyes were clear and bright: "Anyway, you are going back to Jinling, and I'm not afraid to tell you about it. Among the three orders of the former emperor, I invited one of them." It seemed that he was afraid of Gu Xiao Tian couldn't understand, so he added: "I specially asked for Master."

"As expected." Gu Xiaotian suddenly smiled, a little relieved and a little melancholy.His apprentice is really not simple. "Why do you bother to do this? I have lived for such a long time, and the new emperor has also ascended the throne, so there will be no more troubles."

Yan Yunyou walked over and gently helped Gu Xiaotian hold his shoulders: "It is because everything is peaceful that I want you to return to Jinling to retire. If I don't do this, when will you return to Jinling? The emperor has gone, I don't think you stayed in Chang'an for the sake of fame and fortune." Yan Yunyou's subordinates paused, walked up to Gu Xiaotian and knelt down and said, "My apprentice is at fault. Go back to Jinling, the two uncles have been waiting for you for a long time .”

"Get up." Gu Xiaotian bent down to help him: "I've already asked someone to prepare things, and I won't go back. You are so eager to force me to leave."

With the new emperor ascending the throne, it is uncertain whether the government and the public will be peaceful. The situation in the court and China is bound to be turbulent.Seventeen officials were killed in the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Shen Yihan suffered a loss of soldiers and generals, but he also recuperated for another year. Sooner or later, there would be a storm.

"That's good." Yan Yunyou smiled shyly: "Master, you must wait for me to go back to take care of my life. Go back and take care of Sang Ning for my apprentice, and tell him that everything is fine with me."

Gu Xiaotian shook his head: "You can go back and talk to him yourself. Yunyou," he said solemnly, "Everything is subject to Huaizhen, and don't be head-on when encountering problems."

The autumn wind blew, and the pavilion brought a chill, but the high-hanging sun still couldn't send the slightest warmth.

Yan Yunyou smiled: "I understand."

Gu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and said: "Help me, this old bone, go for a walk, this Imperial City Secretary, if I don't take a second look, I'm afraid I won't have a chance."

"What did Master say. There will be plenty of time in the future." Yan Yunyou bent over and stretched out his hand to support him, and continued: "But I hope you don't come back again."

Gu Xiaotian walked slowly: "I don't intend to ask about the matter between you and the two princes. But there is one thing that I have to say."

Yan Yunyou's heart sank, thinking that Gu Xiaotian had noticed something, his face changed slightly: "Although the master says, the disciple will obey the master's order."

The footsteps stopped, and Gu Xiaotian looked at Yan Yunyou: "I don't want to get involved in the affairs of you young people. What I want to talk about is about Yan Qingyuan."

Yan Yunyou's face changed instantly, which couldn't be concealed.In the past year, he had met Zhou Yu face to face, and after returning to Jiangnan, he had never spoken to Yan Qingyuan at all.

He couldn't forgive Yan Qingyuan, but he couldn't control himself from thinking about him.

After all, that was his biological father.

"Yunyou, this is the end of my words, you should make your own decision. General Yan is old, and the young general is also young. Blood is thicker than water, don't let yourself regret it."

##### I was shocked to see the comments.Is there something I didn't express clearly?Our little Gong didn't sleep with anyone else, neither did Yun You, they both only slept with each other (?-_-?)
