"Presumptuous, kneel for me!" After speaking, Gu Changfeng turned around and knelt on his knees, kowtowed his forehead against the ground, and said in a trembling tone: "Meet the old ancestor, the old ancestor is safe." ”

Seeing this, the Gu clan all knelt down and saluted Gu Qingchu. The shopkeeper of the gambling house immediately understood who the woman in front of him was, and there was only one Gu family who was called the ancestor, the legendary Marquis Ning Liang! Then he quickly bowed.

The people of the Gu family bowed down because Gu Qingchu was an elder, and in the laws of the Xia Dynasty, the people could only bow when they saw the officials.

Gu Qingchu ignored the Gu clan, but said to the shopkeeper of the gambling house: "Duke Hou's Mansion has a family affair today and can't entertain you, tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to come to the door to settle the gambling debt, so good?" ”

Realizing that Ning Lianghou was talking to him, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I won't bother you." ”

The shopkeeper of the gambling house left the Hou Mansion with palpitations, and when he left, he took a deep look at the plaque of the Hou Mansion, with Ning Liang Hou here, Gu Er's gambling debts did not dare to ask for it! Just don't pursue them when the time comes.

At the beginning, the incident with Gu Eryinzi in the ruffian pit was still vivid, and the shopkeeper of the gambling house was a little scared when he thought of this stubble. The ancestor of the Gu family has woken up, Gu Er is not a person who can design casually!

Funai

"Gu Changfeng, Gu Changwei, Gu Changlin, now you are in charge of the Gu family?" Jian Qinghuan's tone was slow and reasonable, and the hearts of those who were called by their names trembled.

Now these clansmen are still kneeling on the ground, and if the ancestors don't call up, they don't dare to get up.

Being called the ancestor shows Gu Qingchu's status in the hearts of the clansmen, and the rise of the Gu family depends on Gu Qingchu and Gu Qinghua's brothers and sisters.

Everyone was terrified, why did they dare to use the identity of the elder to suppress Gu Wenzhi Gu Wuzhi, it was that they were sure that Ning Lianghou would not wake up, they gritted their teeth and gambled thirty years ago, and now the bet result has come.

"Open an ancestral hall."

After the words fell, Gu Qingchu got up and walked into the house, the Gu clan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the ancestor didn't see anyone before he got up, and then entered the ancestral hall in three steps, one bow, five steps, and one knock.

When Gu Wuzhi was born, his grandfather Gu Nan had passed away, his father was a petty official, soft and obedient to the clansmen, Gu Qinghua was in Gu Wuzhi's generation, and was pressed to death by the three words "filial piety first", and he was helpless against the elders of the patriarch and other elders.

Looking at the usually tall patriarch kneeling on the ground and trembling, Gu Wuzhi was a little incredulous, didn't he really dream now?

I heard that the ancestor of the Hou Mansion woke up, and there were many people at the door who watched the excitement, and the shopkeeper of the gambling house was silent after coming out, and no one could find out the news, and the Hou Mansion was very quiet.

When it was getting dark, the gate of the Hou Mansion reopened, and the Gu clan walked out of it, all of them tired and walking slowly, looking in a trance.

The jokes and inquiries of the crowd were ignored by everyone, and they quietly returned to their respective homes. No one knew what was going on in the Hou Gong's Mansion, and from this moment on, the news of Ning Lianghou's awakening spread in Chaoge City, and I don't know if it was true or not.

After the Gu clan left, the door of the Hou Mansion was closed, and the second master Gu in the mansion kept saying that he was sick and did not see any visitors, even when the county order came.

All of a sudden, the Chaogecheng teahouse and food stalls were discussing the news about Ning Lianghou's awakening, and the storyteller of the restaurant talked about Ning Lianghou's past deeds.

*

At that time, far away in the imperial court, a heated discussion was being initiated.

In the fifth year of Amaterasu, the heavy rain in Huai'an continued for more than a month, the water of the South River swelled, the floods in the south of Qingzhou, tens of thousands of refugees were displaced, and after the flood receded, everything gradually improved, but the Southern Barbarians took advantage of the displacement of the people to attack.

On the issue of dealing with refugees and sending troops, there was a lot of arguing in the court. The millions of heroes of the Great Xia Dynasty are not afraid of the vulgarity of the Southern Barbarians, and what makes people headache is the poison in the hands of the Southern Barbarians.

The military generals headed by General Liu and the civil ministers headed by Prime Minister Wen, the two sides have their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone to quarrel.

Emperor Wen Ji, who was sitting above, frowned, waved his hand irritably, and everyone quieted down with great eyes, this young emperor has become more and more vigorous in recent years, and his power in the hearts of the ministers has become even greater.

"Taifu, what do you think?" Emperor Wen Ji said.

Taifu took a step forward, felt two hot eyes behind him, Sun Taifu's back was wet with sweat, it was a fight between the two factions of the court and not to be neutral, and now he didn't say that he offended the little emperor, he said that he offended the other party if he was biased.

With a long sigh in his heart, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Taifu's mind and said: "Back to the saint, Neiko sent a letter from her hometown Chaoge the day before yesterday that she heard the news that Ning Lianghou woke up. ”

Taifu's words made the quiet court noisy again.

Ning Lianghou? Back then, it was Marquis Ning Liang and General Gu Minghua who jointly repelled the Nanban, and used poison to attack poison to make the Nanban rest and recuperate for 30 years, and did not dare to harass the border of Great Xia, and only today did they dare to take advantage of the flood to send troops south.

Ning Lianghou wrote many prescriptions related to detoxification, but unfortunately this medical book had just come out, and before Ning Lianghou could add annotations, she fell into a coma when she was drunk.

Many of the words used in medical books are obscure and incomprehensible, and even the literal meaning cannot be explained by contemporary Confucianism, so everyone has a prescription for this book, but they can't read it.

Now that the owner of this book has woken up, it means that the medical book can be explained, and the nemesis of the Southern Barbarians has come.

Inside King Jing's Mansion

Today, the saint was wearing a dragon robe leaning against the pillar and sighed for a long time, and after the man next to him drank the wine in the cup and put it down, he said slowly: "The emperor asked me to see Marquis Ning Liang?" ”

The man was dressed in a black dark pattern python robe, with a handsome face with a cynical smile, and his narrow phoenix eyes revealed a bit of carelessness. If others were so unreverent, they would have been dragged out and boarded.

It was no one else who spoke, it was Yuan Jinpei, a well-known figure in the imperial city, and there was a terrifying Tianwei Division in the imperial dynasty, which was not subject to the jurisdiction of the three yas and six ministries and was directly under the holy department, and a special department that maintained the imperial power.

Among the hundred officials and the people, the reputation of the Tianwei Division is two extremes, among the civil and military officials, the Tianwei Division is the living king of Yama, but among the people of Great Xia, it is the Qingtian Lord, the thieves who plague the township are killed by the Tianwei Division, and the corrupt officials of the fish and meat people are caught by the Tianwei Division......

The commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Guard Division is Yuan Jinpei, and the henchman of the Son of Heaven who came all the way when the emperor was hidden in the dragon.

"Cousin, this is what the queen mother meant, and she also asked you to help deliver the letter to Ning Lianghou." The emperor held his chin and shook his legs, he was only so relaxed in front of people close to him, and now there are no outsiders, and the emperor has always called Yuan Jinpei his cousin in private.

Yuan Jinpei is the grandson of the former prime minister, and the current queen mother is his aunt. His wandering father was the only king of the opposite sex in the Xia Dynasty, and Yuan Jinpei and the emperor grew up together in the palace since childhood, and their feelings were very comparable.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Yuan Jinpei's eyes flashed slightly, and he said that he also had some relationship with Ning Lianghou, and he knew his aunt's intentions.

Since he copied the home of the examiner who cheated in the scientific examination, he has been very boring recently, and it is okay to go there, and he is somewhat interested in the legendary Ning Lianghou.

The emperor on the side saw that Yuan Jinpei hooked the corners of his mouth, and immediately sat up straight and lost his sleepiness, I don't know which unlucky guy is going to be targeted by his cousin, every time his cousin shows this expression, there are always people who are going to be unlucky.

On the second day, the hundred officials knew in the court that the emperor had sent Yuan Jinpei to the court, and after the next court, they unconsciously showed a refreshing smile, and without the evil star of Shengjing, the air was sweet!
