The husband's son-in-law

Beijing, the imperial palace.

Li Wubing temporarily lived in the side hall of Taiji Hall.The main hall of the Taiji Hall is used for such important events as small court meetings or imperial examinations, but the side halls can accommodate people, and the emperors of all dynasties sometimes took a nap and discussed political affairs in the side halls.

But Li Wubing didn't live in the side hall because of the rules - he hasn't ascended the throne yet, so he doesn't live in Zichen hall.

Li Wubing led his troops all the way into the palace without anyone, and stood in front of the Zichen Hall with a knife, looking at the lofty plaque, and said: "Brother, I didn't deserve to enter here before."

The favored and unfavored prince, before he was a minor, more or less went to the Zichen Palace to look for his father.When Emperor Kang Jing was in power, he would ask the princes to come here to test their homework after a while.The only thing missing is that there is no disease.

There are many natural reasons.In the early days, Emperor Kang Jing was busy fighting everywhere, and he was very martial. He took the first few princes to the martial arts field to take the school exam. Later, the eldest prince disappeared, and Emperor Kang Jing had no desire for the harem for a while. After a few years, five The six or seven eighth princes were born, and the world was peaceful. Emperor Kang Jing emphasized Confucian culture, and he had a lot of homework exams for these princes.

After the first few were born, Kang Jingdi's energy no longer focused on the children.

However, Li Wubing was missed every time, and the excuse of not emphasizing it anymore seemed flimsy.

"It's all the late emperor's stuff, let's live in the next place first." Rong Ye said.

Li Wubing nodded, and didn't go in. He turned to look at Rong Ye, and said in a childish tone, "Brother, this name doesn't sound good, let's change it?"

"Then change it." Rong Ye didn't care.

After that came enthronement.

Li Wubing lived in the side hall with Rong Ye, and some three-generation veterans relied on their elders to sell their elders, and couldn't see the situation clearly, so they moved their minds and wanted to earn more.

The old minister said that Li Wu's pedigree was not correct and he could not become a great treasure.

The most distinguished lineage is the eighth prince born of Emperor Kang Jing and the Empress of the Central Palace...

These courtiers came to lobby and persuade Li Wubing to hand over the big position, and the few elder brothers who took the lead were very affectionate and promised to Li Wubing: If I ascend to the great treasure, it will be the fourteenth brother of Xu who will assist the king.

"Brother, these people have never been so polite to me. Call me the fourteenth brother. Do you think it's funny? From now on, I will be respected as the assistant king, and the head of the assistant king will be cut off by me."

Rong Ye: "I'll find a way to find some civil servants to stand up for you."

"...Brother, I want to kill these people." Li Wubing asked, "Is it possible?"

"Don't cause too many killings. Those who are light will be dismissed from office, and your family will be exiled by death."

Li Wuyou nodded obediently, "I'll listen to you."

Rong Ye didn't want Li Wubing to get killed too much, he fought against Li Min that day, and Li Min killed the red-eyed madman. Rong Ye still remembered that the six relatives would kill everyone who didn't recognize him, and Rong Ye didn't want Li Wubing to become like this.

If they can use gentle means, they will be a little softer. Now that they are in the general trend, one or two civil servants are not enough to worry about.

But when Li Wubing was dismissed from office, the civil official was even more furious, blaming Li Wubing for his improper bloodlines and wanting to contaminate the orthodox throne of Dali, it is not allowed in the world, he should kill himself and apologize...

Rong Ye listened to the heart-wrenching words of those civil servants.

Li Wubing was scolded as a bastard since he was a child, scolded by his own mother, scolded by his own father, insulted and bullied by his own brothers and sisters, went to war and was scolded by Dali civilian soldiers, and stabbed in the back——

"Kill it." Rong Ye frowned coldly.

Li Wubing smiled, "Brother, I don't even take it to heart."

Because he scolded a lot and listened to it a lot, Li Wubing didn't care about it long ago, but now someone cares for him.Rong Ye said: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

"it is good."

Perhaps Li Wubing became the most insignificant among the many princes when he became an adult. Kang Jingtian changed smoothly after he became an adult, and Li Wubing was still unknown. The impression is still in the past.

So much so that Li Wubing killed the side-by-side king, entered the imperial city, and was submerged in the Zichen Palace, making these officials with deep roots in aristocratic families feel that Li Wubing could be bullied and talked about—they thought it was Emperor Tianshun.

Emperor Tianshun was weak, loved beauty, liked to listen to flattery, valued the clan, raised these people's hearts, and thought that the clan could resist the imperial power.

Kicked to the iron plate.

Even the heavy snow in Beijing could not cover the bright red, nor could it cover the smell of blood and rust in the air.

In less than half a month, the circle of imperial mansions in the capital near the imperial palace was much empty.At the end of the year, the grand enthronement ceremony was held, and he was dressed in a dragon robe without any disease. The reign name was Guangwu.

After the emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne, the first thing they did was to reward them. For officials and princes, they would increase their ranks and ranks; As long as the criminals are not serious crimes, they are all pardoned.

But Emperor Guangwu was different. He issued many orders but not rewards.

The Zichen Hall changed its plaque and became the Yongshuang Hall.The eunuchs and maidservants in the palace who are willing to leave the palace at the age of [-] will be released, and all the women in the harem will be dealt with - they will not be allowed to stay.

Whether it was the concubines of Emperor Kang Jing or the concubines of Emperor Tianshun, they were all kicked out.

Some ministers listened to the news, and said something unreasonable first, let alone Emperor Tianshun's concubines belonged to Emperor Kang Jing, that was your father, those concubines could be regarded as the elders of the current emperor——

But no one has the guts to speak out.

The snow in front of the mansions with deep foundations has been swept away, and blood can still be seen deep into the cracks in the bricks.

However, Emperor Guangwu didn't really drive people away. If the concubines of Emperor Kang Jing and Tianshun have children and have grown up to build a mansion, then let the children take them back to the mansion to support them. If the child is a princess and is underage, then the child First live in the Princess Garden and the Prince Garden, and the concubines moved to the Royal Palace outside Beijing.

The eighth prince went to guard the imperial mausoleum.His mother was the empress dowager, and the second prince decided not to kill him, but fled with Emperor Tianshun all the way. He was terrified on the way, and died of illness when he returned to Beijing.

This time the womb was much quieter.

In the new year, the imperial palace in the capital is deserted and full of chills, and the eunuchs and maidservants who are still in the palace dare not tell their master to gossip behind their backs, even if the new emperor lives in the side hall and has not moved to the Yongshuang hall. ——

The Yongshuang Hall needs to be repaired, and it is not easy to start construction during the Chinese New Year, so everything will be changed until the next year.

But Mr. Rong who lived in the same side hall as the new emperor, if he is a valuable minister, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he should also be rewarded with a mansion to live in his own mansion. If he is favored by the emperor, he should also move into the harem. Among them, there is no reason to live in the side hall and sleep in the same hall as the saint.

This is against the rules.Even the queens of the past dynasties are not like this.

People below don't understand, but dare not speak up and ask.

In the first year of Guangwu, a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity.

Not long after the fifteenth day, Gu Zhao's resignation letter of "retiring the old and returning home" has not yet been written, but Mr. Gu has something to say, it is not because he is so hypocritical and intentional to refuse to welcome it, but when he wrote it, he always If you are healthy and have not ascended the throne, then it is not easy to write. Who will you hand it to?

By the time Li ascended the throne without illness, the news was sent back to Zhaozhou, and the year was over.

Mr. Gu is definitely not the kind of person who wants to refuse and welcome!

"It's finally settled." Gu Zhao was completely relieved when he heard that Li Wubing had ascended the throne and sat on the dragon chair. If he didn't ascend the throne for a day, there would be accidents.

Then his resignation to return home should be put on the agenda.

Mr. Gu is still a bit reluctant. He is only 34 years old this year, so he can't use the word "old" in any case. Now that he is an upright young man, he can't be old, otherwise he has a bad temper and doesn't want to be an official anymore. ?

... If he was asked to specialize in inventions.

Forget it.

Master Gu racked his brains to write his resignation letter.Li Zhouzhou saw it in his eyes. Ever since his husband was tossing about years ago, he felt that this time hadn't come yet. Although the time with Xiao Rong was short, Xiao Rong was not like this. Naturally, the emperor was Li Wubing, but Li Wubing was recuperating at their home these days, and he didn't look like someone who would kill a donkey.

This person has a cold heart, unlike Xiao Rong who looks cold, but actually has a soft heart and some justice.The new emperor's coldness is cold, but don't offend him, he is indifferent to everyone.

But his family's business affairs are all things that are beneficial to the new emperor, even if they are not rewarded, they will not be punished.

But Xianggong also took precautions and took care of it in advance.Li Zhouzhou was naturally on Gu Zhao's side.No matter what Mr. Gu does, Boss Li will always support him.

So does resignation.

"Let's stay in Zhaozhou. We're waiting until Dad wants to go back to Xiping Village. We're going back." Li Zhouzhou had planned his life after Master Gu resigned.

Naturally, I can't go back now. Fubao has to go to school and study, and the environment here is better than Xiping Village.When Fu Bao is older, he will leave the business to the subordinates and he will be able to completely leave to spend time with his family.

Gu Zhao was moved to tears, and pestered Zhou Zhou to act like a baby for a long time.

He is the big baby in Zhou Zhou's heart!

However, the official resignation has not been successful yet, Mr. Gu still has to work when he is on the job. After a few days of ink stains after the year, he packed up and went to Manzhou. The new emperor enthroned a lot of policy documents, and he had to deal with them.

When Mr. Gu arrived in Wuzhou, the letter of transfer came down.

Emperor Guangwu's method of thunder made the aristocratic families in Beijing tremble and avoid it, but after that, the unexpectedly peaceful attitude rewarded many clans, and the strength of these clans who waited and hugged each other regained a little bit of strength.

Xindi is not targeting them.

However, some people also found that the new emperor rewarded the clan with false names, and the transfer of promoted clan children in official positions was less important. Among them, in the transfer of civil officials, there was a name that occupied the first row, which was particularly conspicuous.

Gu Zhaosheng, the left political secretary of Nanjun, is the chief assistant of the cabinet.

!!!

"Who is this Gu Zhao?"

"How old are you?"

"Where is the person from, what family?"

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It sounds familiar to me, I don't know if it's the same person."

After the group of civil officials in the capital was amazed, they exchanged discussions, all of them were very curious about this Zuo Zhengsi. After listening to the transfer order at first, the promotion and transfer were so large. ——

Who dares to think.

After these civil servants counted their fingers and moved up a few ranks, their first thought was: This person has power behind him, and he must be a powerful family, perhaps a big family from Nanjun.

Among them, those who were familiar with it were surrounded to inquire, and the familiar one was entangled and said: "Tan Hualang, who was in the same class as my palace examination, is called Gu Zhao. He worked in the Imperial Academy for several years, and I heard that he was demoted to the south..."

He forgot where he was going, and at the time he had sighed in his heart. This man was from a peasant family, and because of his good looks, he won the favor of Emperor Kang Jing, and was promoted to the rank of Tanhua, and entered the noble Imperial Academy——

Mostly envious.

But I didn't expect that in just a few years, this place would be demoted to such a place that I had never even heard of its name.

Sorry.

"What's his background?"

"I'm a farmer. I don't remember where he came from. I only know that he studied in the Imperial Academy and worshiped Master Sun as his teacher..."

"Of course not, it must be the same name, right?"

"How can a farmer be promoted so quickly? Even if it is the Sun family in Chuzhou, the Sun family has declined earlier, and there are not many children serving in the court. Even if Sun Mu can't protect the children of the clan, how can he be transferred to this farmer? impossible."

Only Yan Jinxin heard the news, sat in front of the desk for a while, and then clapped his hands and laughed heartily——

"What are you doing, I'm so scared." Willow pushed the door in and saw the man's appearance, rushed up immediately, slapped the man Yintang with one hand, and shouted: "What ghost dares to go on my man's body!!! Don't go out, wait until I peel off your skin."

Yan Jinxin's laughter from being photographed stopped, only the pain remained, but he still maintained his etiquette and didn't shout out the pain, but his voice was louder, "Don't hit Xiaoshu, I'm not bewitched, I'm not bewitched."

"How dare you lie to me, you ghost, I'll drag you outside in broad daylight until you're out of your wits!"

After Liu Shu said aggressively, he picked up the person——I couldn’t lift it up, this ghost has great strength, and then I thought, it’s cloudy and drizzly outside, no wonder this ghost dares to make trouble, so what should I do.

"I'm fighting with you, dare to hurt my man!!!"

Yan Jinxin could only hold him in his arms and said, "Your brother Zhou Zhou is coming back."

"Gah-"

"What?! Really? Don't lie to me, the black-faced god." Willow stopped biting immediately, the difference was settled, and he weighed his buttocks happily, and said, "Don't show your teeth, talk."

Yan Yanxin: "...Really, Sheng Shang transferred Zhaodi back to Beijing to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet."

"Hey, brother Zhou Zhou is back. That's great. This is good news. When will it arrive? I'll go and clean up our yard. They must have no place to go back to Beijing. The old house over there is too small, although I have people repair it every year, but it’s not good to live there with children in cold weather, it’s better to live in our house.”

……

Wuzhou.

"Congratulations, Master Gu, congratulations."

"The next official congratulates the old man."

All the officials in the Yamen of Yanzhou had already started to congratulate and flatter. The one who said congratulations had just finished speaking, and when he heard the person next to him calling Ge Lao, his brows and eyes drooped and he looked at the courteous flatterer, and his whole face was full of two words: I am convinced.In the next second, he also respectfully and affectionately called Elder Ge.

Gu Zhao: ...

Everyone is still the same.

"I'll look at the paperwork first."

"Ge Lao, this is a document from Beijing, and there is a holy seal on it, so it can't be mistaken."

The other person didn't speak, but respectfully handed over the document to the newly-released Ge Lao, asking Ge Lao to read it.Those who didn't make it to the front couldn't help being annoyed, and scolded Shang Feng for flattering him from the bottom of his heart, with a bright smile on his face, hoping that Mr. Gu would remember them and promote them when he arrived in Beijing.

When Gu Zhao looked at the document, it was indeed so.Before he handed in his resignation letter, he was promoted.

This--

"I'll hand over the business at hand."

"My lord, I'm coming."

"Ge Lao, let me talk to you."

Gu Zhao: ...these sycophants!

This time, the work efficiency is very fast. In three days, Gu Zhao has done business in the Yamen of Wuzhou, and cleaned up the small yard that was rented for temporary rest before, and packed a car with the frequently used ones that need to be taken away. Let’s go slowly. To send Zhaozhou, he went back to discuss with Zhou Zhou first.

Why was he promoted, and he was still the chief assistant.

Gu Zhao arrived in Zhaozhou on horseback, and the news of his promotion had not yet spread, so he went straight into the house, and the first thing he said when he saw Zhou Zhou was: "I've been promoted."

"Msanggong, Xiaorong has sent you a letter, please go back to Beijing Gang Fourteen." Li Zhouzhou took the opened letter in his hand and handed it to Xianggong.

The couple looked at each other.

Gu Zhao looked at the letter in Zhou Zhou's hand, and the letter was designated as: Li Zhou Zhou received it.Otherwise, Zhou Zhou would not open his letter.Although Gu Zhao opened it later, the couple watched it together, and there was no secret between the two, but whoever wrote the cover would take it apart. This is a respect that the couple never said but kept doing.

"Rong Si and Fourteen are really a perfect match!" Gu Zhao accepted the letter and gritted his teeth.

When the official document arrived at the Yamen of Wuzhou, and a private letter was passed to Zhou Zhou, he expressed his affection.Two-pronged approach—however, this private letter really made him less worried about hiding his bow.

can do that.

The letter was written by Rong Si, and there were a few words about Li Wubing mixed in. They were all referred to as "I". It was not formally written, but rather like a conversation between relatives and friends asking for help.

I roughly wrote about the current situation in Beijing. Between the lines, I asked Mr. Gu to go there every week. I needed Mr. Gu to assist Shishi. Now that there is no one in the court, everyone has their own ghosts. I fear Shishi more than respect him. It's vast, and a corner of peace is wasted... In just a few years in Zhaozhou, I fell in love with the local customs and customs of Zhaozhou. If Mr. Gu can come to Beijing to be the chief assistant, I hope that the people of the world will be like the people of Zhaozhou...

Gu Zhao complained in his heart as he watched, and when he saw 'more fear than respect', he thought to himself that it must be that Li Wu's method of killing chickens and monkeys was serious, and that people killed too many people.However, regime change like Li Wubing cannot avoid these.

Everyone has different beliefs. Some people stick to the word "orthodoxy" with death, while others think that the world is stable and the people can live in prosperity, and whoever becomes the emperor doesn't care.

If the belief that you hold on to is impacted, you can only die endlessly.

No way.

Gu Zhao didn't like to think about it. He didn't like to kill people, but the world was chaotic in the past few years. Meng Jianyun led troops to fight and was seriously injured, and many people were killed. Could it be Meng Jianyun's fault?cannot.

There are wars everywhere, and the life of the people is becoming more and more difficult year by year. It is good to be stable now.

The gears of history are turning, not to mention the common people, he is just a small grain.

Seeing Rong Si praising Zhaozhou, Gu Zhao could still think calmly: Rong Si is praising Zhaozhou in front of Zhou Zhou, he is praising him, and he just wants to persuade Zhou Zhou more. Finally, I hope that the people of the world are like the people of Zhaozhou...

Gu Zhao was silent for a while, then looked at Zhou Zhou.

"Shall we take a gamble?"

Bet that all the birds will not hide.

With a smile in his eyes, Li Zhouzhou's face was soft and peaceful, as usual, but his tone was firm, and he said, "Okay."

The first year of Guangwu.

Gu Zhao, a native of Xiping Village, Ningpingfu County, Wannan Prefecture, has experienced the two emperors Kangjing and Tianshun. He entered the cabinet, became the first assistant, and became a first-class official at the age of 37.

In the spring of the same year, Mr. Gu Ge returned to Beijing with his whole family.
