Iron Armored Emperor

There were two floods in the second year of Chu Chu, and in July of the third year of Chu Chu, there was another drought in Qinzhou.

Gu Lie relived his life and was mentally prepared for the natural disasters in the early years of Chu. He just kept improving the disaster response mechanism and sent his favorite young officials out to practice.Natural disasters cannot be avoided, but we still have to try our best to do something good out of them.

But this severe drought happened to be around Gu Zhao's birthday, so, this morning, the various forces who wanted to send someone to Gu Lie's harem seemed to have made an agreement, and took advantage of the opportunity to attack.

Although Gu Zhao has not officially become a prince yet, he lives in the East Palace. His Tai Tuo Di Qiye was originally named "Prince Tai Tuo". It can be said that the difference between Gu Zhao, a prince and a prince, is just It's just a title.

But Gu Zhao has no mother after all, and is tied to the very powerful Di Qiye.Whether His Majesty is afraid of Di Qiye, there are different opinions, but it is Gu Zhao's natural disadvantage that no mother wants to please and behave in front of His Majesty. Who knows if His Majesty is tired of this son, and is it possible that he is already ready to make love to other women?

After all, His Majesty is in his prime of life, and no one would believe that he would never remarry for the sake of his dead wife.

So these courtiers wanted to be the first ones to pass the steps to His Majesty, all of them were alarmist, saying that it might be because God is dissatisfied with this little prince, which caused frequent natural disasters?

Before Gu Zhao finished listening, he knelt down in self-blame.

These courtiers full of God's will and morality challenged his 12-year-old son, while the others who didn't speak up didn't necessarily mean that they didn't mean it. They just stood still and watched the situation.

Gu Lie murmured, and sighed: "I was careless, I didn't know that there are so many wandering warlocks in the imperial court, all of them are proficient in the will of heaven, and they can speak on behalf of God. ?”

The hearts of the courtiers who spoke so convincingly just now fell to their knees.

Gu Lie didn't seem to notice, his tone was still very calm, but his words were extremely pungent: "Zhao'er is young, how many things have just been settled? I'm thinking, if God is dissatisfied, he can't be dissatisfied with Zhao'er. According to you This means that God is dissatisfied with the incompetent king, the widow."

At this moment, the ministers who had just stood by and watched also knelt down, and the civil and military officials of the court shouted in fear and fear: "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!"

Gu Lie didn't speak, Man Chao Wenwu just knelt like this, his back drenched in sweat.

Only the Marquis of Dingguo stood there.

He stood there calmly, reminding Gu Lie of his outstanding appearance when he first joined the Chu army.

Gu Lie looked at Di Qiye, and Di Qiye also looked at Gu Lie, blinking his eyes.

"What objection does Marquis Dingguo have?" Gu Lie could only pass him the ladder.

Di Qiye smiled: "Your Majesty, I didn't hear those strange and chaotic words just now. It must not be good words. Since they are nonsense, it is better to turn over the matter and re-discuss the matter. After all, the ministers are holding the people's fat and the people's anointing. The salary is not used to ask them for astrology and fortune-telling."

Regardless of whether the officials obeyed Dingguohou or not, they could tell that Dingguohou was trying to dispel His Majesty's anger, so even if Di Qiye made a mockery of it, they could only admit it with a pinch of their noses.

At the end, Di Qiye paused and added: "Except for Yan Fagu."

Yan Fagu was very wronged, he was still kneeling, and cried to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, Marquis Dingguo is slandering, I have worked hard in the Ministry of Industry, but I haven't been to Qintianjian for two months."

This is as if it is only natural for him to run to the star-watching platform. In which dynasty did the minister of the Ministry of Industry run to Qintianjian when he had nothing to do?

When the two of them interrupted like this, Gu Lie deliberately kept silent for a while, and then gave face.

Gu Lie said flatly, glanced at the officials from left to right, and then said coldly: "I have something to say."

That night, Gu Lie took Di Qiye out of the palace.

In the early court, Gu Lie had a fit of anger among his officials, so Jiang Yang didn't feel embarrassed to ask, and stopped Di Qiye in the next court, asking Di Qiye to bring his words.

Jiang Yang's grandpa's 80th birthday, specially invited a troupe well-known in the capital, [-]th is a rare birthday for the elderly, a very blessed and happy event, so I want to invite Gu Lie to the house to have a lively and lively time.

At the end, Jiang Yang also mentioned that Beihe would also go.

After Zhu Beihe split up, he really thought about it behind closed doors for more than a year, but Gu Lie didn't recruit him again. He thought he deserved it, and he didn't dare to accept it. Jiang Yang wanted to help his old friend, and it was understandable.

Di Qiye smiled and made a confession.

Gu Lie didn't like to be lively. As for Zhu Beihe, he had his own calculations in his mind. It was indeed time for Zhu Beihe to come back to work, but the emperor's way of weighing things was that the more anxious they were, the less anxious Gu Lie was.

It's just that Di Qiye wanted to let Gu Lie relax, and was also curious about operas, so he intentionally asked a few questions about the operas. Gu Lie hugged him tightly, and said helplessly, "Then go."

Di Qiye curled his lips, thought about it and said, "Bring Gu Zhao along."

Gu Lie smiled in a low voice, and praised Di Qiye in his ear: "No wonder people say that marrying a wife is the right thing to do."

The two of them got along until now, how could Di Qiye be easily molested, and said with a wicked smile: "Your 'beloved wife' is enshrined in Fengxian Hall."

Gu Lie got bored, cleared his throat, Di Qiye got the upper hand, smiled smugly, kissed Gu Lie on the forehead, and dragged someone to the East Palace to pick up Gu Zhao.

Your Majesty came here with the prince and Marquis Dingguo, and the entire Jiang family was flourishing.

The 80-year-old old man of the Jiang family had a red face. He was talking with the old man Zhu Yong. He was very happy to see His Majesty. Wen Sheng said that the old birthday star is the biggest today, so there is no need to be formal.

The old man almost fainted with joy.

When Gu Lie walked into the garden, all the guests knelt on the ground. When passing by Zhu Beihe, Gu Lie paused. Zhu Beihe raised his heart, but Gu Lie didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.

Jiang Yang sighed inwardly.

Jiang Yang invited someone. Although he didn't know if Gu Lie would come or not, the two best seats must be reserved. One was the first seat that was almost as spacious as the imperial concubine's couch, and the other was the official chair next to the first seat. Lie also brought Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao was sensible, and hurriedly said that his father was here, so he should stand.

His Majesty dragged Ding Guohou and Tong to sit on the first seat, and the problem was easily solved.

The guests in the garden murmured in low voices, saying that His Majesty is really favored by the prince of the country to be determined. Jiang Yang, who knew the inside story, twitched his eyes.

The theater troupe knelt down on the ground and respectfully greeted Ann, but when they sang again, they changed their performances.

The repertoire was ordered by the old man of the Jiang family. He likes plays that are well written and sung better, regardless of whether they are festive or not. Di Qiye flipped through the playbook that Gu Lie asked Jiang Yang to bring him specially. Liang Zhu?

Di Qiye turned over the story of Liang Zhu in the pile of miscellaneous books in Weiyang Palace, and he became very interested.

The troupe did not continue the performance, but jumped into the play. Jiang Yang was startled at first, fearing that something might go wrong. He always felt that the expressions of the masters on the side of the stage were not quite right, but he heard the opening tune of "Shanbo Dying". Just relax.

"Shanbo's Dying" is an excerpt about Liang Shanbo telling his mother on his sickbed his love for Zhu Yingtai, his hatred for Zhu's father and brother's greed for money, and the Ma's father and son's domineering before he died. Zhu Yingtai was buried together.

If it is sung well, it is really affectionate and touching.

But as soon as the Xiaosheng opened his voice, Jiang Yang's face changed. This theater troupe was so bold that they changed their lyrics on stage!

Di Qiye listened to the playbook, and was puzzled by Gu Lie: "Is the playbook wrong, or did the words change? Some words sound different."

Di Qiye was not used to listening to opera, so he couldn't understand it very well, but other people in the garden often listened to it, so they couldn't tell what it was singing.

This is still singing Liang Zhu, this is part of the script changed, and it is singing the thirteenth aunt and her cousin in His Majesty's adoptive father's mansion!It's just that the adoptive father was changed to the Duke of a certain dynasty, changing the soup but not the medicine.

Jiang Yang was sweating profusely in an instant, and was about to kneel in front of Gu Lie. Gu Lie waved his hand: "Dare to change the lyrics on stage, some ink, interesting, let them sing."

Interesting doesn't necessarily mean embarrassing, Jiang Yang sweated, never heard such a frightening scene in his life.

The Xiaosheng hugged Huadan, and changed his lyrics to sing: "I married three concubines in a row for half a year, and the mandarin ducks were weeping because of the rotten wood. I only heard that the Eastern Palace will be a good general, but I didn't expect the Duke to win his cousin. There is no clear water at the source. No wonder there are so many natural disasters now.*”

This is already too obvious to be regarded as a hint.

Jiang Yang frowned, and immediately fell to his knees without saying a word.

All the guests in the courtyard knelt on the ground again, except for the opera singing on the stage, there was no sound, but the drums were beating so fast and the huqin was blaring, it was a ghostly and beautiful atmosphere.

Di Qiye was also shot while lying down, raised his eyebrows and turned a page of the script, Gu Lie listened expressionlessly.

The Xiaosheng poured the empty wine jug on his body as if, the huqin and the drums faded away, completely matching the Xiaosheng's singing.

In the end, they sang back to the original lyrics: "Your son and her cannot be a husband and wife when they are alive, and they must share the same grave with her after death! *"

Gu Lie stretched out his hand and patted it three times.

The qin, drum, cymbal and flute were all quiet, and there were people kneeling on and off the stage.

"The lyrics were changed a bit, but the singing is good," Gu Lie commented, "There is a reward."

Jiang Yang stopped and said: "Your Majesty, how can you reward the singing for turning black and white and slandering the court! Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

The young boy on the stage was full of arrogance, kowtowed three times, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the grassroots are only for admonishment and dare not be rewarded. This is the idea of ​​the grassroots alone. If you want to punish the crime, please only take The grassroots ask the crime alone, and it has nothing to do with others."

After he finished speaking, Gu Lie didn't speak, but Di Qiye smiled: "You only want to persuade? What are you trying to persuade?"

The young boy gave Di Qiye a gouged look, as if he was blaming Di Qiye for not trying to fight back but flattering Gu Lie. He was filled with resentment and pity at the same time, which made Di Qiye almost tremble and couldn't bear it.

Then I heard that Xiaosheng say: "Marquis Dingguo lives in the East Palace, and the etiquette is inconsistent. His Majesty does not restrain the adoptive father, which leads to an unjust case. This is what he persuades."

From what Di Qiye heard, they were all superficial words, without any intention of replying.The owner of the theatrical troupe was in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Who instigated you?"

The Xiaosheng's face tightened, and he said with a firm bite: "No one instigated it, it was Cao Min alone."

This is obviously not what one person meant.

Jiang Yang kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest. I must find out who is behind the crime, punish him severely, and give Your Majesty an explanation."

"We need to find out, those people on the stage don't need to be severely punished," Gu Lie stood up, Di Qiye also got up, Gu Lie waved his hands, "They are just puppets who cheated Qing Ming, severely punishing him is exactly what he wants. "

Jiang Yang should be.

His Majesty drove back to the palace with Marquis Dingguo and the prince. Before turning around, Gu Zhao took a deep look at everyone in the troupe, and finally swept lightly over Jiang Yang.

Those eyes were deep and sharp, making people dare not look directly at them.

Originally, I wanted Gu Lie to go out to relax, but I didn't expect that my mind didn't relax. Instead, I encountered a ghost and went back to Weiyang Palace. Di Qiye lay in Gu Lie's arms obediently, and stretched out his hand to rub his head. Acupuncture point, read like coaxing a child: "Don't get angry, don't get angry."

Gu Lie laughed: "I'm not angry."

Such gossip is about to get angry, and Gu Lie has already died of anger.

Di Qiye paid attention to Gu Zhao's performance, and said to Gu Lie, "Your son loves you dearly, and he has revenge for you."

Gu Lie smiled: "What about you?"

Di Qiye raised his eyebrows.

Although this incident seems to be caused by him, but Gu Lie and the little theater troupe are not heavyweights. If you offend Gu Lie, even if Gu Lie does not allow severe punishment, both the actor and the troupe will be finished. I really can't say I feel distressed.

"You are angry, and my heart hurts," Di Qiye said in a compromised way, "You are scolded, so I can only feel sorry for your son."

Gu Lie turned around half a circle with the person in his arms, and switched positions.

Gu Lie stared fixedly at the person whose face was still unrestrained and unrestrained. He really didn't care about the accident tonight, but that young man's singing was not bad, and he sang the last line of "Shanbo's Dying" in a desolate and melodious way, which broke his heart.

You cannot be a husband and wife during your lifetime, but you will share your grave after your death.

Really, there is no destiny in the world to grow old together, burn bones to ashes and accompany lonely graves*.

When Gu Lie was invited, he lowered his head and touched Di Qiye's welcoming lips. While kissing, he thought, in his previous life, he was not only blind, but also a fool.

"His Majesty."

Yuan Bao reported hesitantly outside: "Master You Yushi has an accident."

Gu Lie let go of Di Qiye, breathed evenly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Bao said that Jiang Yan went back to Dingguohou's mansion after his duty, and found Mu Lian fainted in the back garden, unable to wake up no matter what, he wanted to ask His Majesty to show mercy and let him take Mu Lian to the imperial hospital for medical treatment from Mr. Zhang.

"That's right."

"Yes."

Gu Lie thought about it, he remembered that this time in his previous life was the time when Di Qiye met Wu Kun and was sent to treason.

Wu Kun gave Di Qiye a bag of soil, and Di Qiye sprinkled it in the back garden of Dingguohou's Mansion.

that's not soil...

"Yuan Bao," Gu Lie spoke again.

"exist."

"Go and watch it yourself," Gu Lie patted the thoughtful Di Qiye reassuringly, "If there is any critical illness, please report it at any time."

"Yes!"

The author has something to say: *The words that have been changed are from the Yue opera "Shanbo's Dying", and the original script of "Shanbo's Dying" remains unchanged.

* There is no fate in the world to be the same as the old sentence. The first half of the sentence is the original text of the Cantonese opera "Shanbo's Dying", and the second half is nonsense
