What about Mr. Faint?

Knowing that Xiaojiu is not the parent and child, the queen mother is still sitting on her phoenix seat.At that time, Gu was still a prince under one person and above ten thousand people, with the love of his father and the teaching of his mother, the older brother who took care of Gu and the elder brother who worshiped Gu.At that time, the first emperor still had eight sons, and it was not a sad thing to lose one of his descendants.

But the former emperor finally softened his heart. After the second elder brother passed out on his knees outside the hall, he spared Xiao Jiu's life.But he didn't let Xiaojiu go, but kept raising Xiaojiu, like raising a bug, beside his beloved bird, just waiting to become a supplementary food for adult birds in the future.

With such a heart, Xiao Jiu naturally no longer has the patience and gentleness he used to treat his parents and children.And children are always sensitive, they can capture all the emotions of adults, just like orphans.Whether his father loves him, whether his adoptive mother treats him with care, the details of life can always tell the truth.

So he knew that in the entire palace, there was only one person who loved him.But later, that person died.

He died on the road of fighting for imperial power, and died in the conspiracy of his father and his brothers. He was a victim of power and greed, but he stood there like a stone monument, reminding Xiaojiu.So Xiao Jiu also wants to climb up, climb to the highest position, no one can bully, everyone respects.

Xiao Jiu is very similar to Gu, but they are not the same.

Most importantly, Gu was five years older than him.When lonely and innocent, the first emperor was in his prime, and the queen mother was still the mother of the world and the master of the harem.Gu is surrounded by the guards of his older brothers, and he is taught by his friends and teachers in dealing with others. At that time, the elder brothers were still fledgling.Therefore, the mistakes that Gu made and the wrong roads he walked, all had time to be corrected.

But Xiaojiu was not so lucky. This young seedling that was forcibly uprooted had already been uprooted before it could take root in the soil.

In fact, Xiaojiu is no better than Guming. The past that Gu encountered was dark and gloomy, but there are always people around Gu.From the queen mother to the elder sister, from the little friend to the big brother, and now there is a general to protect him.On the other hand, Xiao Jiu, his biological mother and biological father failed to love him, and even raised him in such a place later.

"It's right in front," pointing to the big yard, "you can go in by yourself."

"I thought you would raise him in the deep mountains and old forests." The general looked surprised when he looked at the villa surrounded by mountains and rivers. Worried about someone coming? After all, this neighborhood can be considered desolate."

...with downcast eyes and silence...

The general's voice has not been remembered for a long time, but I don't know what he did. The people behind him all retreated, leaving only Gu and the general standing in place: "You tell me the truth," the general knelt down on one knee and looked up at Gu. face, "What you said before is not the truth, is it?"

The general's eyes were dark and bright, and he could even reflect a lonely shadow: "He is inside." Turning his eyes to look at the lake on one side, but the general grabbed his jaw and forcibly twisted in his direction.The general is very strong, but when facing Gu, most of his strength is put away.

Looking at each other for a long time, the general sighed, conniving and helpless: "Do you think I didn't catch such a small language trap? We all came together, and it's not too short of a cup of tea to know the truth. Why do you hide it from me like this?" Let’s talk about whether you live in the yard or someone else is in the yard.”

The two are indeed different, but I didn't expect the general to guess it.

"He's in the yard." Repeatedly, "You go in, and someone will bring you to see him."

"Your Majesty," the general repeated in a good-tempered manner, "you know that I like you not because of pity, sympathy, or gratitude. I like you because you are decisive, forbearing and good at planning. I know you hate Everyone in the world knows that you killed your father and brother, and that you have the blood of countless innocent people in your hands."

What he said was solemn and solemn, but his tone seemed to be talking about scenery: "Your Majesty, I admire you not because of your glamor, nor because of your appearance or blood. I admire you, love you What is more important is that you who have experienced so much, the real and indifferent you."

"Your preferences are really strange." Frankly speaking, the general's taste is really unique.Thinking about it, if there is a person like Gu standing in front of him, he will mess up the country and suffer the people, kill innocent people in vain and run amok, let alone like it, even if he takes a look at it, he will feel that his way is dirty.

"The person I like is the person who would rather bear the infamy, the cholera in the country for decades, but also ask for a hundred years of stability. It is the person who will endure for five years and entrust the country to the country when the time is right. It is the end of the road and never gives up. A person who climbs step by step with his own goals. He is a gentleman who has kept his promise for decades."

The general knelt in front of Gu, and raised his hand to cover Gu's cheek: "The person I like may disregard my own life, and even my own life can be used as a bargaining chip for the sake of the goal. But it's you who attract me." , Your Majesty! The you I like may be ugly in the eyes of others, but to me, you will always be the most beautiful."

"Father passed on the throne back then..." There was no one else around, "The Ninth Prince was passed on."

In a trance, I was in that night again, and the eldest brother rushed into the hall covered in blood, holding a dragon robe that was wrapped in layers and stained with blood.He was seriously injured, but he hugged the dragon robe tightly.When rushing in front of Gu, he couldn't even stabilize his body, and fell to the ground with a puff.

That night, Gu's body was stained with his blood, the first and only time.

Inside the dragon robe is an imperial decree.

The seventh prince was bestowed with death, the second prince was granted the title, and it was passed on to the ninth prince.

The elder brother collapsed on the ground and pushed the imperial decree to Gu with all his strength.He told Gu that the Ninth Prince was still alive, and that Gu was not the last child of the late emperor, and he was no longer the son that the late emperor loved.So no need to feel guilty, no need to regret, dead brother or dying emperor, they are not worth being lonely.

He intercepted and killed everyone when the imperial decree just came out of the city.

The imperial decree that arrived here one month later, apart from abolishing the crown prince, also...

The general looked at Gu, his eyes were very quiet, and there was nothing inside.It's not like the big brother's eyes, it's cold and dark inside, but Gu can always see his love: "It was Gu who passed the decree back then, his legs were crippled, and his voice was poisonously hoarse." Close your eyes, "I found a girl." Zhizi, you only need to—”

"Alive?" The general interrupted Gu, "It's really rare."

"The lonely sent people to tell him about the outside world in his ear every day." Cruel?Those were the days that Gu had experienced in the past, and the ten years in the small courtyard, only he could vent his anger: "Tell him, let him see how this dynasty was destroyed step by step by Gu, and gradually came to an end."

To this day, Gu has not been able to distinguish whether he hates or envies him.It is also impossible to distinguish whether Gu wants him to be jealous of Gu's good life, or let him witness Gu's end: "If someone treats you like this, how can you not hate it."

The general let go of Gu, and stood up straight: "Then Your Majesty is willing to wait here as a first-class minister?" He kept bowing his head to Gu, but Gu didn't understand why.Obviously everything has been paved for him, and everyone thinks that he deserves to sit in that position, but he doesn't follow anyone's wishes.

except himself.

"Okay." Gu nodded, "I'm here, waiting for you to come back."

The general patted Gu's head with a smile, turned and left.His back is tall and straight, like a green pine in the forest.I have never seen the green pine mentioned in the book before, but now I see it, but I feel that it is no more tall and handsome than the general.

What will he talk about with Xiao Jiu?

In fact, he couldn't talk to Xiaojiu about anything, because Gu didn't tell him that after Gudu dumbed him down, Xiaojiu went crazy.Gu told him his own life experience, told him that his mother died at the hands of the orphan's queen, and told him that Gu was actually not a dragon son, but a civet cat, but this civet cat was luckier than him, and had an eminent monk as his biological father.

Whether Gu is a dragon or a civet cat, no one cares anymore.

But why does Gu want to come?Why did you bring the general here?

It's just because of the blood of the royal family now, except for the princess in the prime minister's mansion, only Xiao Jiu is left.It is impossible to be alone, and there will be no children of your own.And that day the general said that he would not have any more, and at that moment, he was alone happy, wanting to laugh out loud, wanting to cry out loud.

In this world, after all, there will not be only solitary, or heterogeneous.

Xiao Jiu has two children, the older one is a boy, who should be two years old now.The younger orphans never knew his gender.When the news that Xiaojiu's wife and concubine were pregnant again reached the orphan, the elder brother was still alive.On the day when the child was due to give birth, the eldest brother was no longer there, and when he looked back, he was nowhere to be found.

If what the scribe in Tsing Yi said was true, the existence of these two children would become extremely important.

How would the general feel lonely when he saw Xiao Jiu like that?

Standing in place looking at the calm lake, watching the fish and birds flying, watching the reflection.The turbulent heart was gradually calmed down, the general came back very quickly, he didn't seem to be waiting in the yard, he came out with a swaddling baby in his arms.

Only one swaddle.

"You said, you believe in Buddhism." The general had a faint smile on his face, and he bent down to show the child to Gu, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"

Reincarnation?

"The old man in his house said that this child lived in the mother's womb for a whole year, but it suddenly started two months ago..."

No need for him to say more, looking at the child's dark eyes, seeing his immature and pure smile, looking at the scars on his face that are exactly the same as Gu's, Gu knows who it is.There is only one person in this world who is so stupid that he can touch Gu's cheek and say that the scar is a symbol of merit and glory.

There is a person who will hug Gu in the dark night, cover Gu's ears in thunderstorms, and sing nursery rhymes softly when Gu is restless.He always stands behind Gu, whenever Gu turns his head he can always see him.He said he was the shadow of Gu, but when he looked at Gu, Gu felt that he had the whole world.

"Can you call him A Gu?" Gently touching the scar, looking at his smiling eyebrows, "It's not A Gu who is as white as a bone."

Dizang again, in the future, if there are virtuous men and virtuous women who plant virtuous roots in the Dharma, they may make donations, make offerings, repair pagodas and temples, or decorate classics, or even a dust of hair or a tree of sand.If such a good deed can be returned to the Dharma Realm, it is a person's merit and virtue, and in hundreds of thousands of lives, he will receive wonderful happiness.If you only dedicate to your own family members, or your own interests, the result of this is that you will enjoy happiness for three lives, and you will get ten thousand rewards if you give up one.This is why Ksitigarbha, giving karma, is like this.

The Buddhist scriptures that I hadn't missed for a long time echoed in my ears. This time, there was no resentment, no dissatisfaction, only gratitude.Grateful for those who were taken away, I went around and went back to Gu's side.The eldest brother stood in the sun and waved to Gu, his figure disappeared freely and simply, not because he had never cared about him.

But he heard Gu's prayer, because he will eventually return to Gu's side.

"It's A Gu with a snow-born plum bone."

You are a plum that never withers in the wind and snow, noble and tough, independent of Ling Han, a touch of cinnabar in this pure white world.
