Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

In the early 42nd year of the Yuan Dynasty, July, dusk.

There was the sound of gong beating from Miyagi—the idlers retreated.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of the whip, and the messenger of the imperial decree hurriedly rode the horse, heading north in a hurry.

Outside the gate of Jinling City, there is a small tea shed for passers-by to rest.

The owner of the tea shed continued to serve hot tea for foreigners: "Customers take it easy."

The stranger raised his eyes and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

The owner of the tea shed took a seat next to the stranger and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to the north to deliver the decree."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

The boss lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. His Royal Highness has not returned to the mansion for several days, and they all say that he is serving illnesses in the palace."

The guest approached and said in a low voice: "Which minister is this going to pass on?"

The boss cupped his fists towards the north: "Dingguo Mansion, Xu Guanchen."

The guest thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"If you want to tell him his original name, you must know him." The boss smiled, "His original name was Xu Xian."

"Young Lord Dingguo's mansion was famous all over the world when he was young, but it was a flash in the pan, and now he has disappeared from everyone." The man still shook his head and said regretfully, "Why did he change his name?"

"When Xu Guanchen was ten years old, Dingguogong's mansion eliminated him and the old Dingguo, and the whole family died in battle. After the funeral of the whole family, he accompanied the old Dingguo to go south to Qingzhou to practice Taoism. This practice lasted for five years." The boss. Said, "Guanchen is his Taoist name, that's how he was called afterward."

"So."

The boss sighed leisurely: "It's just that Xu Guanchen won't come back, so it's not certain."

"What do you say?"

"He has offended His Highness the Fifth Highness."

"Your Highness Fifth?" The guest's complexion changed, "That Wen..." He looked around and swallowed the word "God of Plague".

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince had a rough life. He lived next to his mother, Concubine Pei, in the cold palace for the first 13 years. Later, his uncle, General Pei, was cleared of treason charges and made military exploits in the Northwest, so he came out of the cold palace. It is said that he was alive when he came out. Tuo is a lunatic. Concubine Pei went there within a month after she came out of the cold palace, and His Highness the Fifth Highness became even more insane.

"When he just came out of the cold palace, His Highness the Fifth Prince was coaxed to take Wushisan. The medicine became a fever, and at the palace banquet, in front of all civil and military officials and His Majesty, he personally killed two gossipers behind their backs. Palace daughter.

"The one who was pushed down from upstairs, blood dripped all over the floor. His Highness the Fifth Prince stood upstairs watching for a long time, and then jumped down himself.

"Later his uncle, General Pei, pressured him to quit Wushisan.

"But since then, His Highness the Fifth Highness has broken his leg, and has been going in and out in a wooden wheelchair ever since.

"General Pei dominates the Fifth Highness. Your Majesty is half guilty of the Fifth Highness, and half is also concerned about the Fifth Highness. The Fifth Highness has developed a vicious and eccentric temperament."

The guest couldn't help but sweat for Xu Guanchen: "Then how did Xu Guanchen offend him?"

"It was said earlier that Xu Guanchen went to Qingzhou to practice Taoism for five years, and he meditated every day. Later, when the old man passed away, His Majesty happened to be on a tour south. He felt sorry for his young age and was the only child in the mansion, so he kept him by his side.

"General Pei was heartbroken because of His Highness Fifth Highness's eccentric temper. He just met Xu Guanchen who was a peaceful monk, so he insisted on asking His Majesty for his orders and got Xu Guanchen to be with His Highness Fifth.

"His Highness the Fifth Prince was granted the title of King Ning at the age of 15, and opened a mansion outside, Xu Guanchen lived with him in the mansion of King Ning for three years.

"In the past three years, His Royal Highness has indeed improved a lot."

The guest wondered: "The two of them get along well? What happened later?"

"Xu Guanchen has a good temper and can get along with anyone. When he was young, he was as famous as the Seventh Highness. He and the Seventh Highness are the real best friends.

"In the autumn hunt in September 41, the Seventh Prince was assassinated and poisoned in the hunting ground. In Jinling City, only General Pei, who had been in the northwest, had the medicine. His Majesty was in a dilemma and refused to make a decision. Xu Guanchen then Hurry back to Jinling and ask His Highness the Fifth Highness for medicine."

"Where's the medicine?" The guest frowned and asked, "Did you get it?"

"Yes." The boss nodded, "It was evening when Xu Guanchen arrived in Jinling, and when he came out of Prince Ning's Mansion, it was already morning after one night. His hair was loose, his clothes were messed up, and his eyes were so red. Dripping blood, he walked outside without hesitation. His Highness yelled his name from behind and dropped a lot of things."

"Ah? I'm afraid it's..."

"You can't say any more, if His Highness the Fifth Prince's subordinates hear you, you will pull out your tongue." The boss made a silent motion towards him, "That's the trouble, Xu Guanchen didn't return to Qiushou in the 41st year of the Yuan Dynasty. Jinling, directly ask His Majesty for orders to go to Yanbei."

"No wonder..."

"So, I don't know if Xu Guanchen will never come back. Even if he comes back, he will not be tortured to death by His Highness Fifth."
