The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Chapter 67 The Emperor's Substitute 14

Xuan Yuan stood with his hands behind his hands in a study room that was simply furnished and slightly shabby. Even though the room was not exquisite and gorgeous, but rather old and simple, it still could not hide his dignified, cold, arrogant and noble temperament.

Glancing at Gu Wenqing with a half-smile, Xuan Yuan slightly raised his long eyebrows and slightly hooked his thin lips: "Do you know me?" Although Gu Wenqing was surprised that he suddenly appeared here, his attitude was very determined. It seemed that He is very familiar with and understands the appearance of the emperor.

Gu Wenqing did not dare to get up, but still knelt down in front of Xuan Yuan in an orderly and respectful manner. After hearing this, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The common people have seen your Majesty from a distance once at a palace banquet. Your Majesty is heroic and majestic. Only His Majesty's appearance is deeply etched in our hearts and will never be forgotten."

Xuan Yuan nodded clearly, yes. Before the New Year, a dinner party will be held in the palace to entertain the courtiers Marquis. Although the Gu family is not at its peak and has fallen into decline, the title of the Marquis is still there. Enter the palace to attend Dinners are also normal.

It's just that the seats will be very far away, so far away that you can probably only see the emperor wearing Minghuang Emperor's clothes sitting on the high position, but you can't see his face clearly at all. And as Gu Wenqing's unpopular legitimate son, he probably didn't go to such dinners many times.

Regarding Gu Wenqing's compliment, Xuan Yuan did not comment, but said softly in an indifferent tone: "Gu Wenqing, are you unwilling to accept the current situation? As a legitimate son, your father is not happy, and your position as heir apparent has been uncertain. Your stepmother is unkind. Are you willing to work hard in the house and even find it difficult to study and write essays?"

Xuan Yuan asked straightforwardly, and Gu Wenqing, after being shocked, also answered very straightforwardly: "The common people are unwilling, but it is not because of being tortured in the prince's mansion, but because they are unwilling to be unable to fulfill their ambitions." "Although the common people are humble and have little knowledge, they still have the great ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the world."

"One, body, hug, carry?" He whispered the words word by word between his lips and teeth, and the smile in Xuan Yuan's eyes became deeper. He looked down at Gu Wenqing, with a tone that was half-smile but not a smile. Happy or unhappy, "You are quite confident."

Gu Wenqing shrank, lowered his head deeply, and whispered: "The common people know that they have little talent and limited knowledge, but they also have a passion to serve the country. Please give me your Majesty's advice."

"I can give you a chance." Xuan Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are originally the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion. Once you become the heir apparent, you can enter the court and serve as an official. I will issue an edict to grant you the title of heir apparent. "The next step you can take depends on your own ability."

Gu Wenqing originally thought that it would be a great joy if he could get His Majesty's help and enter the court as an official. However, he did not expect that His Majesty would casually express in a few words that he would accept the position of Crown Prince.

This is certainly a good thing, but according to His Majesty's wishes, it is clear that he does not intend to have any special care or support for him after he becomes an official. If he wants to be promoted in the court and achieve success, he will have to rely on him. own talents and efforts.

His Majesty just gave him an opportunity, an opportunity for him to enter the court, but how he develops after that is entirely up to him. But how rare this opportunity is, Gu Wenqing thought to himself, isn't this the opportunity he has been waiting for?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The common people will do their best not to disappoint Your Majesty." Gu Wenqing bowed his head deeply and rested his head on the floor of the study room with extremely respectful and grateful submission. At this moment, although he could still maintain some superficial calmness, in reality My heart was already like boiling lava, full of excitement and gratitude.

To be ministers, to be sent by the king, to use their full talents and ideas to serve the king, is exactly what these civil servants who learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius wanted to do in their lives. The so-called culture and martial arts are sold to the emperor's family. They study hard day and night and hang their butts, not just to win the emperor's favor and display their ambitions.

Xuan Yuan responded casually. Although Gu Wenqing was talented enough, he was still too young. It would take some time for him to grow up enough to be used by him. For now, let him experience it first. Anyway, Xuan Yuan has decided that he will stay in this world for a longer time.

"Keep an eye on the Shen family members above the court." After leaving these words, Xuan Yuan turned around and left the Gu Mansion, just as he had come, without attracting the attention of the many servants in the Gu Mansion, strolling around like a leisurely stroll. After leaving Gu Wenqing's small courtyard, he jumped up lightly on his toes and returned to the outside of the courtyard wall.

Xuan Yuan left directly as he had come, without attracting any attention from others. However, Gu Wenqing, who was kneeling on the ground in the study room, did not come back to his senses for a long time. He was indeed quite talented and had excellent mental and strategic skills. But at this time Being too young and lacking in experience, what he saw today really made him feel uneasy and unable to calm down.

"The Shen family... It seems that His Majesty will no longer tolerate the Shen family who is a clique. This is true. The name Shen Banchao has been secretly spread. The Shen family has been going very smoothly in recent years. I have forgotten my duties as a minister." Gu Wenqing took a breath and murmured to himself.

However, although he knew in his heart that His Majesty planned to take action against the Shen family, he did not feel sad about the death of the rabbit. First, what the Shen family did was indeed beyond the pale, and secondly, His Majesty still had feelings for the Shen family, otherwise he would not have targeted the Shen family members in the court. , but directly attacked the Shen family.

After Xuan Yuan left for a long time, Gu Wenqing slowly got up from the ground. He looked around his dilapidated study that had not been repaired for an unknown period of time, and looked at the ancient books on the desk that had been turned over countless times. After seeing those pens, inks, paper and inkstones, I feel like I am waiting to see the scene when he studied hard here in the past.

Young people have great ambitions and do not worry about them. However, after the time when they are full of vigor and vitality, the unfulfilled ambitions are the deepest despair in front of them. Fortunately, today, he finally got a good opportunity and is expected to realize his ambitions.

Gu Wenqing sighed deeply, walked to the desk, picked up the policy paper that he had spent a lot of time writing, and gently stroked it in his hands.

This policy paper condensed his great efforts. He originally wanted to find a way to send it out to gain fame. This was originally his plan, hoping to get the favor of the nobles with this policy paper, but things went more smoothly than he thought. Before the policy paper was presented, His Majesty had already given him the opportunity he had dreamed of.

With a sigh, Gu Wenqing chose to keep this policy paper and find an opportunity to present it to His Majesty in the future. What was written in this policy paper was the method of disaster relief and embankment repair after the Yellow River flood a month ago. It was what he did with great concentration and condensed countless efforts. He felt that it could solve the problem of the Yellow River flood.

"Your Majesty... Master Yan." Seeing Xuanyuan casually climb over the wall and come out of the Gu Mansion, the guards who were originally anxious and angry and wanted to rush into the Shen family were so happy that they almost shouted out the real honorific.

Xuanyuan waved his hand, and the guards regained their composure a little, and saluted Xuanyuan respectfully: "Master Yan, where are we going next?" They prayed secretly, just hoping that His Majesty would not jump into any mansion without going through the main gate.

Looking up at the sky, Xuanyuan said: "I'm a little tired, let's find a teahouse to rest for a while." Xuanyuan reached into his sleeve, took out a folded white paper and handed it to a guard, saying lightly, "Give it to the guards who followed secretly, and ask them to bring the person written on the paper back to the palace."

This kind of thing of finding someone does not require him to do it himself. If Gu Wenqing was not the most capable minister under Yan Junxian in the future, Xuanyuan would not necessarily come to the Gu Mansion in person.

"Yes, I will pass on your instructions right away." The guard who took the note carefully put it into the interlayer of his chest, bowed to Xuanyuan, and then turned around and left.

After he left, Xuanyuan took people to the teahouse in Dongcheng District. Longyuan Teahouse is the best teahouse in Dongcheng District. It has an excellent location and is three stories high. All kinds of precious teas can be found here. It is a place that many tea lovers love to come.

In the bamboo-shaped private room on the third floor, Xuanyuan sat alone by the window. The other guards who followed him were guarding outside this private room, and the rooms on both sides of the private room were also booked. The guards were careful not to let anyone get close.

The window in the private room was half open. Looking down from the third floor, you can just see the avenue leading to this place from the East City Gate. There are countless people coming and going to the imperial capital every day. There are endless pedestrians on this avenue. The streets on both sides of the avenue are countless. It is a bustling scene.

Xuanyuan leaned against the window railing, with a drop of tea floating on the table, and he looked down at the crowds of people passing by on the avenue below. His eyes were unpredictable, and he seemed to be filled with endless deep eyes.

"Host, what are you looking at?" 0617 keenly noticed that the host seemed to be in a bad mood, and he could not help but hold back his fear and bravely asked with concern.

Xuanyuan's eyes still fell on the crowd of people downstairs. He looked indifferent and cold: "I just wondered whether it was right or wrong for the original owners of these people to give up their chances of reincarnation and issue tasks one by one."

0617: "Ah?" The natives of the small world issued tasks, and the host completed the tasks to earn points. This has always been the rule of the main god space. How can the rules be wrong?

"Let's not talk about the first two original owners for now. Let's just talk about this original owner. He wants to be a real emperor... But has he ever thought about whether the person who replaces him has the ability to be a good emperor and make the country continue to prosper and be peaceful? Has he ever thought about whether he has the ability to protect the world?"

Xuan Yuan lowered his eyes and murmured to himself: "I admit that Yan Junxian is not a good emperor for the country and the people, but apart from indulging in love between men and women and being too mean to the Shen family, he did manage the Daqing Dynasty in an orderly manner. At this point, did the original owner really think that he could do all this by replacing Yan Junxian?"

"Is it possible to realize any wish at the cost of a broken soul? Even if this wish will indirectly affect the life and death of millions of people? Is it possible to overthrow the world as long as someone is willing to give up his reincarnation?"

If this is really the case, then why does the Lord God cooperate with these people who made wishes? Is what the Lord God Space does really in accordance with the way of heaven?

In Xuan Yuan's opinion, it is not the case.
