Chapter 16 Gu Changhuan

Previous Chapter

Gu Changhuan listened to the noisy sound in his ears, and his heart was extremely irritable. He also knew in his heart that he had made a mistake by being imprisoned this time. Originally, according to his own plan, after forcing Mao Junjie to jump off the wall in a hurry, he and the others could completely retreat.

I only blamed myself for a bad move, but I didn't expect that in addition to five thousand black feather guards. The Queen Mother actually established the first emperor, and the secret guard dedicated to protecting the members of the royal family was also given to Mao Junjie.

This secret guard was a strange soldier who could kill the enemy tent with the help of eighteen iron cavalry as the first emperor went deep into the enemy camp. After the world was settled, he hid in the shadows and took on the responsibility of protecting the royal family.

I don't know if my intention of only bringing these straw bales as bait was recognized by Mao Junjie. Calculate the time when you were locked in, and it is estimated that the capital should also act. It stands to reason that Tongzhou should have received the news here, but why didn't Mao Junjie come to interrogate them!

Gu Changhuan, who was thinking about whether there was something wrong with him, suddenly heard a slightly shrill voice in his ear and asked angrily:

"Master Hou, why did you let the guards around you send that kid from the Lin family to break through. If it was a miscellaneous family breaking through at that time, they would have moved in to rescue the soldiers at this moment. ”

After listening to the eunuch's questioning, Gu Changhuan silently pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly. He turned his head sideways and glanced at the white, fat and beardless man, then closed his eyes in silence again.

The other two men who were wearing official uniforms from the fourth rank saw that Gu Changhuan didn't even buy the account of the emperor's inner servant Cao Gonggong. couldn't help but glance at each other, and one of the slightly younger but slightly calm officials asked Gu Changhuan with a little hesitation:

"Master Hou, although we have a lowly official position, we are also from Jinshi and are on duty in the Hanlin Academy. Although it is not as important as your holy reuse, it is not an incompetent straw bale. Although I don't know what happened to Tongzhou here, if you have other plans to be in prison this time, please don't hesitate to give advice! ”

Gu Changhuan's heart moved when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the official who was speaking. looked at each other with an interested expression, and asked rhetorically: "Ben Hou doesn't remember you, I see that you are not very old, what year is the Jinshi?" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, he lowered his head and muttered: "The emperor has been on the throne for less than three years, and it seems that you have not been crowned for a long time, I think you are a jinshi in the later period of the first emperor, and the official rank is not yet the fourth grade, but you are a jinshi in the year before the first emperor's great trip?" ”

The young official looked at Gu Changhuan and pouted after speaking, and then closed his eyes and meditated. Silently swallowed the answer that he didn't have time to say and was depressed, although what Gu Changhuan said was good, but this feeling was really uncomfortable.

However, Gu Changhuan could not be the only heir to the hereditary title of the first emperor to replace the Marquis of Qingyuan, and his father assisted the first emperor in the southern and northern wars with the saint to establish the Great Jin Dynasty, not only holding the Danshu iron coupon.

Even after the death of his father Qingyuan Marquis, the first emperor who lost his beloved ministers issued a decree that if the descendants of the Qingyuan Marquis one day committed the crime of extermination, the subsequent emperors must be exempted from the crime once. Not only that, but in addition, if the descendants of the Gu clan committed the crime of extermination, they would not even sit in the line of the Zhihou lineage.

It is the only heir of the 'Zhihou' Qingyuan Marquis, and the youngest marquis of this dynasty, and he has the absolute trust of today's saints. And he himself is indeed extraordinary, and he has enough arrogant capital.

This is also the reason why after it was decided to let Gu Changhuan come to Tongzhou, those civil and military ministers who originally complained about the saint who could not afford to use their own juniors did not strongly oppose it.

At this time, Gu Changhuan, who had no time to pay attention to the young officials who were thinking nonsense, was racking his brains to think about which part of his many arrangements went wrong. Why this Mao Junjie has not moved until now, I can't figure it out after thinking about it.

Just as Gu Changhuan frowned slightly and thought about something, there was a 'bang' sound of unlocking from the corridor outside the cell where they were locked. At this time, not only the other three people, but even Gu Changhuan, who was originally indifferent, also opened his radiant eyes.

As the footsteps came from far to near, the other three adults showed expressions of 'are you still coming'. Only Gu Changhuan's eyes showed a slight doubt, and he didn't feel that the footsteps sounded like a fat man.

He took out the delicate hourglass he was holding in his arms and looked at it, and it was instantly clear. Although Gu Changhuan already knew who the person was, he didn't tell the other three about his plans. As for why......

Looking at a boy about ten years old carrying a wooden barrel outside the iron fence, Gu Changhuan gloated and glanced at the three people next to him. After seeing the wonderful expressions of the three of them, the smile on their lips could no longer be stopped.

"Haha! Ha ha! I said Gonggong Cao, you have such an expression, but this kid is frightened. Gu Changhuan looked at the boy outside the iron fence, and said to Gonggong Cao, who had an ugly face, while laughing.

The young officials on the side saw that Gu Changhuan was locked up with himself and others, and he was still so arrogant when he didn't know if he could get out alive. As soon as his head was hot, he took a step forward and blurted out:

"Master Hou, now we are locked up in this dungeon together. I don't know if I'll be able to get out alive again, so don't talk about it on the sidelines. After all, it's not just the three of us who are locked up here, and now you're in the same boat as us, aren't you? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did Father-in-law Cao's face look a lot better, but even another slightly older official on the side couldn't help but show a look of approval. Gu Changhuan, who was bored when he heard this, looked at the young official who was talking with a slight increase in the corner of his eyes.

This time Gu Changhuan found that this kid actually had curly hair, and he couldn't help but look at it seriously. I saw the person in front of me wearing a fourth-grade official robe, with a strand of curly hair hanging from the corner of his forehead that had been scattered because he had not taken care of it seriously for a long time.

On closer inspection, sure enough, the boy's eyes glowed slightly blue in the candlelit dungeon. Gu Changhuan looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly remembered the last imperial examination presided over by the first emperor before his great trip.

It seems that the new science and technology Tanhua of that year was a beautiful man with curly hair, and it is said that the Tanhua almost imitated Wei Jue who was killed on the day of the cross-horse parade on the street.

It was still the prince's saint who gloated about it, and after the saint heard about it. By the way, I helped a young Tanhua who was almost recruited by Uncle Mao's wife and sister-in-law, and then the first emperor mentioned in the court that he wanted to marry Tanhualang, and the matter was over.

But who would have thought that the first emperor would die in the second year, and it was originally because the first emperor had said that he would marry Tanhualang. After that, the elders of Tanhua's family did not dare to publicize his marriage, resulting in him not being married in his twenties, and he rejected Uncle Mao's proposal in public before.

was hated by the narrow-minded Uncle Mao, and the road to official career did not seem to be smooth. Thinking of this, Gu Changhuan couldn't help but glance at the former Tanhualang with sympathy.
