Iron Armored Emperor

The next day, Di Qiye went to the Imperial Hospital to take some medicine and went to Zhu's Mansion.

Among Chu Gu's retainers, Jiang Yang was undoubtedly the closest to Di Qiye, but this closeness did not mean that the two knew each other, but mostly because of Gu Lie.

As a lieutenant general who was almost dismissed by Di Qiye, Zhu Beihe once witnessed Di Qiye's use of soldiers like gods and won great victories with his own eyes. Di Qiye said seriously, "My lord will not misunderstand me", with a stunned look.

So here in Zhu Beihe, although the two are not close, Di Qiye does have a place.

Di Qiye brought the imperial physician's medicine and instructions, and Zhu Beihe said, "Brother Di, stay and have a light meal."

Di Qiye was reluctant to say goodbye, so he agreed.

In fact, there is nothing to excuse, Zhu Beihe made a mistake, after that, he can be regarded as a model of a pure minister, devoted himself to Gu Lie, worked hard, no one could fault him.

Di Qiye wanted to come and go in a hurry, but it was because, upon seeing him like this, he suddenly realized Zhu Beihe's old state.

What people are most likely to ignore is not the novelty that suddenly appears, but the people and things that are common every day.

Originally, I saw it every day, and I didn't feel that there was any change. After two or three months, I didn't see it. When I saw it suddenly, it was easier to detect the change.

Zhu Beihe's age is between Jiang Yang and Yan Fagu, this year happens to be 54 years old, ten years older than Gu Lie, because of his heavy work, he is obviously old, especially in poor health, and he wears half-worn clothes at home The homely clothes, which are not as refreshing as the court clothes, look even more old-fashioned.

In ancient times, no matter how powerful the dynasty was, the average age never exceeded 40-40 years old, and 54 years old was considered very old, let alone [-] years old.

Even though the emperor's ministers can be regarded as pampered, but from top to bottom in the Great Chu Dynasty, one counted as a hard worker, and Gu Lie was loved by God, and he did not look old, but the others were not so lucky and could not escape the laws of nature go.

Di Qiye was vaguely aware that the purpose of Gu Lie's trip was not just to deliver medicine, so he hurried back to ask Gu Lie, but since the owner kept guests, it was impossible for Di Qiye to lose face.

The guests and hostesses were seated at the table, it was common practice, besides Zhu Beihe, his wife and Di Qiye, Zhu Beihe's second son, Zhu Hanjiang, was also present at the table.

Although the youngest daughter of the Zhu family did not attend the table, she invited Ann through the screen.

Although Zhu Beihe still called him "Little Brother Di", after all, Di Qiye's identity was Ding Guohou, Zhu Beihe and his wife were well-behaved people, and they ate a meal in a well-behaved manner.

After Di Qiye left the house after dinner, Zhu Beihe's wife said with a smile, "Mr. Dingguo really does not change his face, which is enviable."

Thinking of Di Qiye who had just joined the Chu army, Zhu Beihe also showed a little smile: "Brother Di is not very old at all. Besides, he is indeed born well."

Zhu Hanjiang wanted to make his parents happy, and said with a smile, "That's right, when my little sister was a little bit older, we went to the palace for the New Year's banquet, and she was just yelling at Your Majesty and Marquis Dingguo."

This made Zhu Yanhu call brother angrily from behind the screen, but Zhu Beihe and his wife laughed, and Zhu Beihe asked: "When did this happen?"

Zhu Hanjiang made love to his younger sister: "When the dynasty first started, my younger sister was still young."

Zhu Beihe and his wife laughed out loud.

Being teased by his parents and elder brother, Zhu Yanhu's cheeks flushed and he stomped away.

There are three children in the Zhu family. The eldest son was raised by his grandparents since he was a child, and he was not close to Zhu Beihe and his wife. The second son, Zhu Hanjiang, and the youngest daughter, Zhu Yanhu, both followed Zhu Beihe and his wife to and fro. .

Especially Zhu Yanhu, she had an anecdote when she was a child, that is, when she was not very good at talking, she would point her finger at the beautiful things she liked, such as the maple scenery of the lotus pond, or the name of famous paintings, and shout "Da", to express love.I didn't change anything until I became sensible.

Zhu Beihe's favorite thing to do is hug his daughter. The father and daughter look at the landscapes, birds and animals painted by famous artists for a long time, and they can still talk to each other.

"This brush and ink are elegant and ingenious."

"clatter."

"Yanhu likes it too?"

"Da da."

Regarding this, Zhu Beihe's wife commented that "bring your daughter to go crazy together", Zhu Beihe didn't take it seriously, not only admired it in his own study, but sometimes heard that Jiang Yang and Yan Fagu had acquired famous calligraphy and painting, and rushed to carry their daughter. The two girls admired it enough, and then went home contentedly.

At the New Year's banquet in the second year of Chu Chu, Gu Lie invited all the ministers, and he was not restricted to bring his family members. I wish Beihe and his wife brought their three children into the palace to enjoy the scenery.

Zhu Yanhu, who was only three years old, was hugged by Zhu Beihe, and the father and daughter walked slowly. Zhu Yanhu was quite satisfied with the magnificent and elegant Dachu Palace, and nodded his head "da".

The ministers took their seats and waited for His Majesty to come.

The Great Chu Emperor, Ding Guohou and Prince Gu Zhao came together and announced the opening of the banquet.

Zhu Yanhu was fed two mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge by his father, and when he saw the two people on the imperial platform, he writhed to get down to the ground.

The New Year banquet is not so restrictive, the officials have already congratulated His Majesty, and now they are all walking around the banquet lively. It happened that Yan Fagu came to ask Zhu Beihe for a drink. Zhu Beihe put his daughter down and asked his son to take care of his younger sister. .

After all, Zhu Hanjiang is eight years old. He is smart and precocious, and he knew the warmth and coldness of human relationships very early. He knew that his elder brother didn't like him and his younger sister, and he knew even more that his grandmother, uncles and aunts didn't like him and his younger sister. Zhu Hanjiang firmly held the little girl's hand to prevent the little girl from walking away.

Zhu Yanhu, who was held tightly by her brother, was very angry. She was going to see a beautiful woman!

Fireworks suddenly ignited in the direction of the school grounds, and bright colors exploded in the night sky, reflecting a fiery tree and silver flowers.

Zhu Hanjiang was attracted attention, looked up, wondering if this is the "Dongfeng night puts flowers and thousands of trees" written in the book, and let go of his hand unknowingly.

Zhu Yanhu gave a "da" to the sky filled with fireworks, and walked towards the imperial platform with his calf.

On the royal platform, Gu Lie, who had been preparing for the fireworks for a long time, was asking his general, "Is it any good?"

Everyone looked up at the fireworks, Di Qiye shook Gu Lie's hand under his loose sleeves, and said with a low smile, "It's beautiful."

Zhu Yanhu nodded: "Da!"

How pretty.

Zhu Yanhu was standing in front of the royal platform, his eyes were piercing, and he seemed to appreciate it slowly.

A boy ran down from the royal platform, blocking Zhu Yanhu's view.

Zhu Yanhu was not happy anymore, and when he looked up, he was a little brother carved in pink and jade. Zhu Yanhu gave a "da" reluctantly, and then waved his hand to signal the little brother to get out of the way.

Gu Zhao tried to reason with this little thing, he pointed to the two adults on the royal platform, and said seriously: "Mine."

What are you looking at my father and my mother?

Zhu Yanhu is still waving, you are blocking me from seeing beautiful people!

Gu Zhao suddenly remembered that he had heard people say that girls are more favored by the family, and his sense of crisis suddenly increased. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he threatened, "Go away, this is my father and mother!"

Zhu Yanhu was also very angry. Although this little brother was good-looking, she wanted to see a beautiful person. She tried to push Gu Zhao, but she couldn't push him. She looked left and right, and happened to see the brother who was looking for someone, and waved. Call: "Ah!"

The little girl seemed to be in trouble, so Zhu Hanjiang immediately ran over, hugged the little girl, and asked Gu Zhao, "What are you doing? Bullying my sister?"

Gu Zhaoqing cleared his throat: "Your sister is going to run to the imperial platform, I'm afraid she will run into your father, Your Majesty."

Saying it this way, it seems that Zhu Yanhu is wrong, and the boy on the other side has good intentions.

Zhu Hanjiang seemed to believe it or not, he half hugged his sister and wanted to leave, and said to Gu Zhao: "Then I have taken care of you."

Unexpectedly, not only did my brother not help me drive people away, but also tried to hug me away, Zhu Yanhu pouted, stretched out his hand in the direction of the imperial platform and struggled: "Dah!"

Zhu Hanjiang was only five years older than his younger sister, and he was at a loss for what to do with his uncooperative younger sister. Gu Zhao hugged Zhu Yanhu and said in a friendly manner, "Where are you sitting? I'll help you."

He turned out to be a good person, Zhu Hanjiang heaved a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands to Gu Zhao in a similar way: "Thank you, over there."

The two boys said polite words in a dignified manner, and walked towards the desk of Dali Temple Minister. Seeing that the three-year-old Zhu Yanhu was getting farther and farther away from the two beautiful people, he felt extremely wronged. Gu Zhao's neck was in front of his eyes, and he instinctively opened his small teeth, aiming at Gu Zhao's neck and biting.

There was a panic, and it ended with Gu Zhao being carried back to the imperial platform by the dumbfounding Marquis Dingguo.Zhu Beihe was going to plead guilty to His Majesty, but was directly blocked by Marquis Ding, saying that he is so delicate and children are playing around, it's fine.

Gu Zhao seemed to be really frightened, hugging Di Qiye's neck, and refused to get off.

Di Qiye laughed at Gu Zhao: "Isn't it just a bite? Are you afraid of a three-year-old girl?"

With a half-smile, Gu Lie said vaguely, "This is acting like a baby."

Di Qiye thought that Gu Lie was talking about the biting by the little girl from Zhu's family, so he rolled his eyes back and mocked softly: "You thought it was you."

Gu Lie imitated him and raised his eyebrows: "That's because Marquis Dingguo loves me."

Di Qiye's cheeks flushed, he glared at Gu Lie, and stopped talking.

Gu Zhao nestled in the arms of Marquis Dingguo with peace of mind, with his father and king beside him, and he forgot about the brothers and sisters of the Zhu family.

Di Qiye returned to the palace and stared at Gu Lie for a long time.

Gu Lie was very calm, Di Qiye loved to see him, he couldn't wish for it.

In the end, Di Qiye couldn't help it, and said angrily, "What exactly do you want to say, can't you just say it?"

Gu Lie asked back: "Then what do you think I want to say?"

Actually, Di Qiye didn't fully understand. Gu Lie is a person who hides things deeply, but his intuition tells him that it has something to do with aging, so he is impatient: "I wish Beihe is old, but you are not old. He is ten years older than you." What are you worrying about, if you are old, you will be worrying about it yourself."

Gu Lie snorted softly: "No. You keep thinking."

No one wishes to grow old all day long, as if he cursed himself, especially since this is the only person Di Qiye cares about in this world, Di Qiye was furious: "I don't want to!"

Gu Lie is easy to talk: "If you don't want to, don't think about it."

Di Qiye looked at Gu Lie suspiciously.

Gu Lie hugged him around the waist, and started to talk about gossip: "Zhao'er has taken a fancy to Miss Zhu's family."

After listening to gossip, Di Qiye raised his eyebrows: "That kid has a good eye."

Successfully using his son to change the subject, Gu Lie slowly talked to his general about his son's love at first sight for a girl from Zhu's family, temporarily putting aside the unresolved conflict.

The next day, news came that the Huainan Daotai Yuan Fei case had become a big deal.

There are monks in the local area who want to seek justice for the rich lady, and they honorably call the lady "The Kind Lady". They gather a group of devout believers and spread the news of the persecution of the kind lady by the government along the way, and they want to go to the capital to seek justice.

Gu Lie handed over the things that Gu Zhao and Jinyi guards found to Yushitai and Dali Temple.

On the next day, when the morning court just opened, Mu Lian, the doctor of Yushitai, came out.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to participate in."

Gu Lie: "Sure."

Mu Lian opened his mouth to refer to the crime of neglecting to investigate the crime of dereliction of duty.

Participate in the crime of embezzlement, corruption, and malpractice for personal gain by Zuo Chenglan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Participate in the crime of bending the law for personal gain and flattering the people in Huainan Daotai.

Participate in the crimes of local monks in Huainan who deceive the public and disrupt the country.

The ministers were in an uproar.
