The husband's son-in-law

Gu Zhao’s poem took a lot of effort—it’s as simple as writing a sentence, putting down the pen and saying that there’s no rush, and I’m slowly pondering it for a month, just three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. said four sentences.

Not bad, good, good, bet on it!

The emotion is also in place.

Mr. Gu racked his brains and finally got it done. He stuffed the letter into the envelope and sent it along with the few pieces of letter paper. He wrote a lot of words in one go, and it took him a month to write these four sentences.So second brother, there will be no next time!

"Brother, I can't help you with this matter. If it doesn't get in the way, I can ask Brother Liang, but the Liang family has nothing to do with the Zhao family, the assistant king, and they are not the same faction—"

The Liang family is well-known as a royalist party, and whoever sits on the throne recognizes who they are.

"I heard from my second brother's letter. Afterwards, he inquired several times and found out that the lives of the envoys who went there were safe and that the Zhao family was still in Beijing. Civil servants and envoys, he still wants the support of civil and military officials."

Therefore, Zheng Hui's life is safe, but he cannot return home in Fengzhou.

Even Gu Zhao, who is far away in Zhaozhou, can feel the rebellious intention of the assistant king. It can only be said that at this point, the assistant king has no intention of rebellion, so he must have it.

After recalling several imperial decrees but not returning, Emperor Tianshun couldn't leave this auxiliary king with a heavy army in his hands.

The situation in Beijing is unstable and there will be troubles. Now the second brother is teaching the prince. The position of the eunuch is actually quite good-the second brother is upright by nature, mainly because he has no family support behind him. Like other aristocratic families, Emperor Tianshun still weighed whether he could move.

This time is the benefit of the family.

The tree has big branches and luxuriant leaves, and its roots are deep. Even if the imperial power wants to move, he has to worry a lot, fearing that pulling up the tree will cause more trouble.Naturally, he was too big to be feared by the imperial power, and he became a thorn in the side and wanted to get rid of it.

There is no such thing as everything in this world, there are good and bad.

"Brother won't come back for the time being, it's normal for sister-in-law to be in a bad mood and worry, otherwise, just close the door to thank guests."

Li Zhouzhou said: "Sister-in-law is more careful by nature, she should do this, and Xiaoshu will help out from time to time, so I will send some money over this time."

There is also a big family at Xiaoshu.

At the end of July, Wang Jian sent the goods to the sea. Su Shiyi had only been married for more than two months. Li Zhouzhou wanted to take a rest, but Su Shiyi couldn't say, so he would go too, but the land trip departed from Zhaozhou and passed through Mozhou all the way. The Chief Secretary of Jindu went straight up, fearing that they would be almost sold out in Tangzhou, when the time came, the carts and horses would go to the port to pick up the goods from Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

So so fast.

Su Shiyi has been a lot more stable since he got married, and he also looks like he is fighting hard.Two days before the shipment, Liu Tao was picked up and sent to Li's mansion. He was not at home, and Liu Tao was bored at home alone, so why not come to Li's mansion to be with brother Lin.

Brother Lin has a lot of questions to ask sister Taozi out of curiosity.

Liu Tao's complexion was rosy, and after hearing the joke, she said, "Brother Xiaolin, do you have someone you like? Otherwise, why are you so curious about what it's like to have a kiss? Yes, you are not young anymore." It's time to find my husband's house."

Originally, it was just drinking tea in the afternoon, talking and chatting, and doing handwork at the same time.

After hearing this, Li Zhouzhou stopped what he was doing and looked carefully at Brother Lin.Liu Tao didn't mention it, and he didn't feel that, in his heart, Brother Lin was still a little brother who didn't know much about the world. He didn't understand anything about love, love, and love between husband and wife. He was just a ball of pink and tender white dough.

Looking at it now, under the afternoon sun, Brother Lin is wearing a light yellow round neck shirt, revealing a slender neck, his face is still small, his skin is white, where the sun shines through, his slight features and blood vessels are all gone. It can be seen that the eyebrows are slightly thinner, the eyes are clear, and the childishness of childhood has faded away, and it is more delicate.

It's a grown up.

Brother Lin is the younger brother who is rich and well-off in today's era. He himself also loves to be beautiful and dress up. He tidies up every day neatly and properly. The colors of the clothes match well and the details are even more meticulous.

Even with powder and lip balm, it is refreshing and beautiful.

"I don't want to look for it, but I want to stay with the boss for two more years." Brother Lin said with a smile on his face.

Li Zhouzhou: "How long do you like to live? I welcome you. What does your family say?" During the Chinese New Year, Brother Lin's mother also came to the mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and brought up a topic about Brother Lin's marriage. Before we even talked a few words, something went wrong and it was over.

"My aunt said there is no rush." ​​Brother Lin said this while looking down at the needle in his hand.

Li Zhouzhou thought, I'm afraid that's not what Brother Lin meant when she said 'no rush'.

"It's time for you to choose your husband's house at your age. It's not urgent to pick it up this year, and it's okay to wait until next year." This is not urgent.

Brother Lin, is there someone in your heart?Li Zhouzhou thought about it, but you can't ask such a question, Brother Lin is too thin-skinned to be embarrassed, so ask later.

At this time, the weather is hot, and everyone likes to go to one place to do work and chat after a nap. Official education is enough.

In early August, Beijing.

This year was particularly hot, Emperor Tianshun was dressed in several layers, his back was already wet when he sat in the Zichen Palace, which naturally aroused his anger, and he swept all the papers handed over by the Zhao family to the ground, and the eunuch was so frightened that he fell silent and did not dare to move.

Only the broken-armed Prince Cheng ignored the atmosphere in the palace, bending over to pick up the memorial.

Emperor Tianshun scolded impatiently: "Are you dead? Let Prince Cheng do it himself."

The eunuch in the palace who was startled seemed to be alive, picked up the memorial and placed it on the dragon case. Emperor Tianshun waved his hand to let it go. Prince Cheng walked aside and saw that there was no one in the palace, so he said: "The emperor calms down, second brother Now that you are away, don't listen to the holy words, and insist on going your own way, can't Jingzhong be able to threaten the second brother?"

"Is he not afraid?"

"What second brother? A wolfish ambition." Emperor Tianshun scolded first, then hesitated a bit when he got angry, and said to fifth brother: "I know what you want to say, the Zhao family is in Beijing, and there is Mrs. Gui in the palace The concubine is here, threats can be threatened, but if you really do something, then this is irreparable, what should he do when he leads troops into Beijing?"

The fifth prince lowered his eyes. Before he fanned the flames, this stupid brother had already moved his mind, but now he has come to his senses. At this time, he said kindly: "It's not really moving, I just see him bullying too much, so I worry about you , It’s just scaring and scaring.”

"I know fifth brother that you won't harm me, and it's also for me, but you are not unaware of the dog temper of the second child, who dared to swing a sword in the Zichen Palace that day—" Emperor Tianshun said, looking at the fifth brother's broken arm, Immediately, I was even more afraid.

Fortunately, there was no threat of writing a letter.

"Now that I am the emperor, the Zhao family will treat me generously and reward me well."

"Isn't Your Majesty afraid that raising a tiger will cause trouble?"

"The Zhao family is a vicious tiger, but it's not that I have no one to use. There are so many families in the capital, including the Rong family, and the soldiers and horses in the south are also there, but they still have to vent their anger. Put the food and grass in Fengzhou first. Come to Rongzhou." Emperor Tianshun made his decision and claimed to be smart.

Hearing this, the fifth prince also lowered his head and laughed and said that the sage was a sage. He just joked in his heart that this stupid younger brother is a waste. Since he wanted to win over and treat the second child favorably, he should do it. But he couldn't see the situation clearly, so the superficial overtures of being kind to Zhao's family were all gone, and it would only make the second child hold grudges even more.

Bear grudges well, fight back as soon as possible, and kill to the middle of the capital, blood flowing like a river.

Yeah.

Jingzhong and Fengzhou faced each other like this, and what broke the stalemate was not the battle between Fengzhou and Huiguo, but the news from Nanyi in mid-August——

The old Nanyi king passed away.

No wonder Nanyi had been silent before.Gu Zhao thought about it, and felt a little bad in his heart. Fanguo heard the news of Huiguo before, and if he stopped attacking the weak side, he stopped here. In addition, Nanyi has not been fighting, so he seems very peaceful.

But now it seems that the Nanyi regime has changed, and the internal affairs are chaotic, but the external affairs have calmed down.Now that the Nanyi old king has passed away, the new prince doesn't know what his political thoughts are, whether he wants peace or continues to fight.

Soon Gu Zhao knew.

Nanyi attacked, this time it was still Xinzhou.

Fortunately, Gu Zhao used to go to Xinzhou all the time. The common people's village was the same as the village under Bolin Annan. There was a defense team who dug the basement and hid food and water. The village guards here sensed something was wrong and informed people to report back , People hid in the basement one after another.

Fortunately, most of the people were safe—some died.

When Gu Zhao arrived, the village here was burned to ashes, and the people were ashamed, crying and mourning, and there were disfigured burnt or hacked corpses in the open space.

"My lord, it smells bad here, so let's avoid it first." The subordinate clasped his fists and said.

Gu Zhao frowned and looked at everything in front of him. He had seen dead people, but he had never seen so many corpses. The death conditions were miserable, and the air smelled of burning and cooked meat. The combination was disgusting.But he couldn't vomit.

"The weather is hot, burn and bury the corpses as soon as possible, and the surviving people move to another place first, and carry lime powder for anti-virus..." Gu Zhao issued a decree.

It's more than August, and the rice seedlings in the distance are green and vigorous, and it seems that the harvest is imminent.

This piece of land was lived by several village chiefs. At this time, the fields were destroyed, the houses were collapsed and burned, and the people were gone. The people retreated, but this land cannot be returned—

"First pull out the able-bodied men to form a team, and the yamen will give money to form a guard team. The houses in the house are damaged, and the government will build houses, open up wasteland for the good fields, and distribute money and seeds. It is not the victims of the villagers, other villages Even if the males come, they will give out money, which will be doubled."

"The houses here have been demolished, and the two places have been handed over for tens of miles to dig trenches. Try to let the active people see the undamaged fields, and try to ensure the harvest..."

Gu Zhao issued orders one by one, this place naturally cannot retreat, retreat again and again, so is this place from Dali or Nanyi?To write a note to the above, the command post has to send troops to garrison. This place has been cleaned up, which is just convenient for the soldiers to set up camp.

From August to September, Gu Zhao worked in the prefectures and counties below Xinzhou, and never returned to Zhaozhou. He was waiting for the troops to be stationed. During this period, the Nanyi invaded again, and the total number of soldiers stationed in Xinzhou was only 3000. They are all soldiers guarding the city gate.

How can it be sent to fight now.

Gu Zhao is a civil servant, so he can't get involved in the military, and the grain, money, and magistrate of Xinzhou will definitely not come out - the civil and military systems are different.It doesn't make sense that the soldiers here are paid by the Xinzhou Yamen, so it shouldn't be a loss?

Anyway, the prefect of Xinzhou refused to agree, even if Mr. Gu said it was useless.

"That makes no sense."

All Gu Zhao can do is to hide, deal with the aftermath, and gather the dangerous people in a safe place as much as possible. Fortunately, the weather is hot and the shelter is easy to solve. However, there will always be conflicts when there are too many people. I have no sense of security in the nest, and I always want to go back or settle down in panic.

Fortunately, the place is large at this time, and there are more barren lands, but the paddy fields will have to be repaired slowly.

Turn over the map and move the land.The population of one village used to be divided into two villages, and the old land cannot be separated now.During this time, Gu Zhao has been busy with this.

The Xinzhou side was not seriously damaged, just some foreign objects. I heard that the Rongzhou side next door—that is, a large village dozens of miles away from the victimized village in Xinzhou suffered heavy deaths.

Gu Zhao was in a bad mood when he heard that, but he couldn't help it. That was Rongzhou's territory. On his own territory, he could use money to form some kind of guards, and take advantage of a loophole to do it himself, but he really couldn't control Rongzhou. .

Finally, at the end of September, there was a letter from Mozhou, who rushed first.

There are generals stationed at the junctions of Xinzhou, Rongzhou and Nanyi, and [-] soldiers have been sent to guard them.

"Which general is here?" Gu Zhao asked.

Zhong Liudao: "My lord, it is the fourteenth prince."

When Gu Zhao heard this, his complexion suddenly became complicated. He saw that Zhong Liu was about the same, and although his emotions were suppressed, there was still some resentment leaking from his brows.

These people followed him in Xinzhou for more than two months. After seeing the tragic situation of the people in Xinzhou destroyed by Nanyi soldiers, they naturally hated Nanyi very much, but now they sent a fourteenth prince whose mother and concubine was from Nanyi to guard them.

——I don’t know what to say, let’s just pick someone up.

In fact, the fourteenth prince is also in a difficult situation.

Nanyi's repeated offenses were naturally reported to Beijing. Emperor Tianshun couldn't deal with the assistant king in Fengzhou. Emperor Tianshun's life was not easy in the autumn and tiger heat in Beijing. At this time, he heard about a small foreign country from Nanyi The land dared to come back, and immediately became angry.

Upon hearing the news, Prince Cheng entered the palace and urged the sage to take good care of the dragon body, and said: "Dali has always been kind to Nanyi. I never thought that this small Fanbang didn't know how to reciprocate. It was a waste of the late emperor's love and affection for the fourteenth brother."

That's bullshit.

Back then, Emperor Kang Jing was young and vigorous, full of energy, he punched the Hui country, kicked the Fan country, and beat the Nanyi next door as well—anyway, he got close when he was idle.The Nanyi who had been beaten had no choice but to surrender and raised their flags to surrender. They lived in a corner and paid tribute every year. This tribute lasted for more than ten years. His only fourteen-year-old daughter was dedicated to Emperor Kang Jing, in order to protect the peace of the entire small country, and to have a chance to survive.

Emperor Kang Jing was not an emperor who was obsessed with beauty. He loved beauties, but he also loved power. Beauties are just icing on the cake. This Nanyi girl is very beautiful, and Emperor Kang Jing will naturally linger, but Nanyi girls will pour water every time they go to bed. Medicine leaves no offspring.

Later, Emperor Kang Jing saw that Nanyi was very honest, so after several years, a Nanyi girl became pregnant in an accident, Kang Jingdi thought about it when he saw this, and gave Nanyi girl a chance to have a dragon heir this time.

Later, the Nanyi girl got a son at one stroke, so she was named Concubine Yi, and her position in the harem became more stable.But in fact, this concubine Yi couldn't get in the harem to manage the power, like a concubine who was favored by sex on the fringes, and her son, the fourteenth prince, could be ridiculed by anyone.

At that time, the favored princess who was only six years old could make things difficult for her brother Fourteen.

Not to mention, in the past, the princes learned to sit together, but now Emperor Tianshun bullied Shishi a lot, and the fifth prince would beat him every time to be a good man and brother.

But the camps are different, no matter what the facts are, the fifth prince is now saying that Dali treats Nanyi favorably, and he is saying that the first emperor loves Shisi.

Who to send to fight.

The Fifth Prince has just figured it out.

Emperor Tianshun couldn't bear to say: "Let Shisi go. It would be best if it makes sense. Let this Nanyi continue to pay the annual tribute. An old and decrepit woman wants to continue to exchange the annual tribute. What do you think? If Nanyi I don't know what to do, let them bite the dog."

"Anyway, that bastard Fourteen, if he dies, he will die."

Emperor Tianshun immediately issued an imperial edict.The fifth prince had a smile on his lips, a bastard Shisi, of course he didn't pay much attention to him, but he could stir up trouble, wouldn't it be a pleasure to see Shishi fight to the death with his grandfather's family!

He looked at his idiot brother sitting high on the throne, with deep hatred mixed with the smile in his eyes.

Xinzhou.

Sometimes it makes sense, for example, the Nanyi invasion has nothing to do with the Fourteenth Prince, and it can't be blamed on the Fourteenth Prince, who even led troops to fight against the Fan Kingdom and beat him to protect the people of Dali.But people are not robots, especially if you are underground, you will inevitably bring some emotions.

Gu Zhao tried his best to appear respectful.

He had met the Fourteenth Prince when he was in Beijing before, and he actually had some impressions—that is, the Fourteenth Prince was the tallest and most handsome among the other young princes, and he was a real handsome guy. At that time, the Fourteenth Prince seemed to be only fourteen or five years old. age?

Can not remember.

But at this time, he led his troops to the gate of Xinzhou City. Gu Zhao, the fourteenth prince on the horse, seemed to be a different person according to the comparison in his memory. He was still as handsome as ever, but his temperament was different.

It was a banquet in the palace. Although the fourteenth prince didn't talk much, he had a good manner, and his royal demeanor showed a bit of kindness and kindness. But now this——

The gossip from Gu Zhaoxin Zhongqi came back.

When the fourteenth prince fought against the Fan Kingdom, he won the battle, was wounded by his own people's back arrows and almost died, and survived by crawling out of the dead.

The temperament of killing people and seeing blood is naturally different.

"Xiaguan Nanjun Zuo Zhengsi has seen General Li." Gu Zhao bowed his hands.

Immediately, Shisi, whose eyes were cold and stern, didn't intend to stay at first, but when he heard this, he lowered his head to look at the civil servants under his eyes, without saying a word, and took a detour.

Gu Zhao: "Here comes my horse."

Zhong Liu still wanted to complain about the lord's injustice, what kind of style is this prince playing, could it be that he didn't see it when his lord saluted? ——But hearing that the lord wanted a horse, Zhong Liu swallowed his dissatisfaction, and hurriedly led the horse over.

"Get on the horse and follow." Gu Zhao got on the horse first, and the horse followed behind the soldiers.

It's also something he can't stop worrying about, but now that the army is here, he wants to go home and have a look after explaining the matter. It's been two and a half months, and Zhou Zhou must be worried. There's a war here——

He wrote that he was safe and sound, saying that they were all in Rongzhou, and that there would be no serious damage to Xinzhou, but Zhou Zhou must be worried or worried, he had to go back for Zhou Zhou to feel at ease.

All the way is concrete, and now there is a war, anyway, the soldiers brought by the [-]th, there are few cavalry, they all run on their legs, and they seem to have no fighting power when they look crooked...

Mr. Gu started to worry again. He looked at the fourteenth prince who was leading the team, and wanted to ask, is this the elite soldier who led the army to win the battle?Not quite.

"The officials of the village that was victimized before moved the people to another place, and this place has been cleaned up..." Gu Zhao reported one by one.

Fourteen glanced at the other party, "What did you just say your name was?"

"General Li, lower official Gu Zhao, Nanjun Zuo Zheng—" Secretary.

"Set up camp and set up camp." Fourteen ordered after finishing his inspection.

Gu Zhao accepted the self-introduction and said, "General Li, if you need anything, just ask."

"The idlers are waiting to leave the barracks."

The idlers are waiting Gu Zhao: ...

I have been in Xinzhou for so long, running around every day, and now that I have been kicked out to have some free time, Gu Zhao has become that civil servant who doesn’t need to do anything as a decoration—he doesn’t need to approve the documents, and the Youzheng Secretary excuses him to frequently go to Xinzhou. On the side, a lot of lucrative activities were blocked.

Gu Zhao didn't care about this, and now he looked at the army camped in an orderly and orderly manner in the distance. The Fourteenth Prince did not choose the village chiefs before, but was located at the junction of Rongzhou and Xinzhou.

This is also true, and Rongzhou suffered even more seriously.

Nanjun and Rongzhou are under the jurisdiction of a military command post, so it is natural to send troops to guard both ends.Gu Zhao looked at the soldiers who were busy, and ordered: "Send dozens of pigs to mend the soldiers."

It's going to be hard work in the future, with the head pinned to the waistband.

After all the orders were given, Gu Zhao was fine, and he was really not used to it, so he said, "Then go back, go home."

Finally able to go home.

All the subordinates showed joyful faces. They bought it originally, and their homes are in various places. Now they don’t know what to do, but they don’t know when it started. Zhaozhou Li Mansion is their home for them.

Go back slightly.

Zhaozhou City.

"Father, can I come back later this afternoon? I made an appointment with Shiqilangxi and the others to play football." Li Zhaoxi asked Father in front of the official school in the morning.

Li Zhouzhou said: "Yes, you can talk to Grandpa and bring someone to follow you."

"I know." Li Zhaoxi quickly agreed, eating bean buns and moving her cheeks puffed up.

Li Zhouzhou laughed and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Fu Bao is just like his husband, if he wants to find a coincidence, he will pretend to be cute, knowing that he will like this.

"Father, why don't you go with me? I want you to play ball with me." Li Zhaoxi begged to act like a baby. Father hadn't come back for many days. Father was afraid that he would not be in the house when he came back, so he seldom went out. He only went out in the morning Went out and came back at noon.

But Fubao wants Dad to relax and play ball to have a good time.

Li Zhouzhou knew that Fubao missed him, and it was difficult for the child to worry about him, so he readily agreed and said, "Okay, Daddy will accompany you to play ball this afternoon."

Not long after that afternoon, Li Zhouzhou took the food basket prepared by his servants and rode in a carriage to the south city gate.Little did they know, he had just left on the front foot, and Mr. Gu at the north gate of the city returned to Zhaozhou on the back foot.

Mr. Gu went back to the mansion and wasted no time.

"Where's the boss?"

"My lord, the boss just brought some food to the Cuju field outside the city to play football with the young master. He just left, why don't you chase after him?"

"No, prepare hot water. I'll take a shower, and I'll kick it later. It was said that Qiulai will hold an adult Cuju entertainment competition..."

Mr. Gu walked to the bathroom while muttering, and began to take off his clothes.

Butler Zhou only heard about entertainment contests and bounties of ten taels——

Twelve! ! !

He also wanted to go.
