In the previous life, Gu Hengzhou didn't spend much time in Hanjing, and after Gu Tingge died in battle, Gu Hengzhou regarded the second room as his only relative.

Later, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he heard rumors that the second room had occupied the family property of the Guogong Mansion, and he just regarded Gu Hengzhou as a cash cow, and Gu Hengzhou didn't care too much about these words.

He is destined to die on the battlefield like his father, and money and fame are just things outside his body to him, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

In his impression, Gu Hengxiu inherited the gentleness and elegance of his second uncle, and he was a very bookish person, and he would definitely not be the person in front of him who could dig tunnels from the Guogong Mansion to the Taiwei Mansion and still stand in front of him and speak loudly.

Gu Hengzhou couldn't understand what reason drove Gu Hengxiu to do this.

Gu Hengxiu was a little angry when Gu Hengzhou asked this question, he stared at Gu Hengzhou directly, and asked rhetorically: "Why did I do this, isn't it clear to the eldest brother?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said coldly: "If I were clear, you wouldn't be able to do these things at all." ”

If he knew in advance that Gu Hengxiu had these thoughts, no matter what method he used, he would have snuffed out Gu Hengxiu's thoughts in the cradle and would not let him have any room to exert himself!

Gu Hengxiu sneered: "Big brother, you are still as strong and domineering as ever, you are always right, you represent justice, no matter what I do, I can't compare to a finger of yours, from the moment I was born, everyone wants to compare me and you together."

Your father is the most powerful commander in Zhaoling, and he is the famous prince of Zhenguo, what is my father? an unmotivated petty official who climbed to the rank of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites by virtue of the prestige of the eldest brother of the national prince; It was the world-famous master in the Tai Academy who taught you enlightenment, but what about me? It's just a non-mainstream teacher in a three-class school. Can one of us be compared in heaven and one on earth? ”

Gu Hengzhou frowned, teaching and educating people, whether it is the master of Tai Academy or the teacher of the outside school, the method of teaching is not much different, the most important thing is to look at one's own understanding.

Gu Hengxiu just wanted to refute, but Gu Hengxiu said angrily with red eyes: "Big brother, don't tell me anything and rely on yourself to comprehend, I have already heard enough of this kind of big truth!" You have a strong comprehension ability, and you often read late at night, but what about Shen Bai? She disguised herself as a man and mixed into the Tai Academy, and often skipped classes to go out to play, she can pass the Tanhua exam like this, don't you think it's ironic, big brother? There is no fairness in this world at all, and all efforts are not as important as family background! ”

Gu Hengxiu had long recognized this fact, and he couldn't listen to any explanation at all, Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and was silent.

Gu Hengxiu continued: "Even if I can't cantile my head and learn to be a nerd, I can't compare to the identity of the eldest brother, the prince of Zhenguo. ”

This is a hopeless thing, he had foolishly believed it for more than ten years, thinking that hard work would be useful, and then he didn't believe it.

It's useless to put in the effort.

Family background, connections, and strategy are the keys to climbing up step by step.

"Big brother, I have come to this day, and you forced me too."

Gu Hengxiu's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of resentful hatred.

"Four years ago, Taiwei had agreed to give me the title in advance, let me title the second year's gold list, as long as I can find a way to let Shen Bai plant a heel, you ruined my good deeds for an outsider, and warned me, in fact, you found out that Shen Bai is daughter at that time, so you don't dare to report me, for fear that the matter will be big, and she will also be implicated, in vain I still thank you for taking care of brotherhood at that time."

After Gu Hengxiu finished speaking, he laughed wildly, looking crazy, as if he had gone crazy.

Gu Hengzhou only discovered Shen Bai's daughter when he was in Dongheng Kingdom in this life, but no matter what he said at this time, Gu Hengxiu would not believe it.

Gu Hengzhou didn't defend himself, and waited for Gu Hengxiu's emotions to calm down a little and asked, "So now, do you regret it?" ”

"Regrets?" Gu Hengxiu repeated these two words, and then laughed wildly, "Why should I regret it? If you hadn't appeared here tonight, everything would have been done, the trade between Zhaoling and Nanxiang would be slowly cut off, Your Majesty still has to rely on these families, Taiwei will recommend me to join the ranks, I will become his successor, step by step to the position of Taiwei, higher than your rank eldest brother, and you can also call the wind and rain. ”

Gu Hengxiu became excited, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes widened, as if he had seen the scene of his official rank and dominating the court.

He has always regarded Gu Hengzhou as an imaginary enemy, and he dreamed that he could be superior to Gu Hengzhou, so that Gu Hengzhou could be trampled under his feet.

Gu Hengxiu vividly interpreted the four words of stubbornness, didn't say anything more, and let the Praetorian Guards come in and take him down and put him in the prison of Dali Temple.

Jiang De'an is an old minister of the two dynasties, Gu Hengzhou didn't let the Praetorian Guards do it, and after Gu Hengxiu was taken away, he went to invite him personally.

Jiang De'an and Gu Hengxiu's reactions were similar, and when they saw Gu Hengzhou appear, they were first surprised, and then they became relieved.

When they planned it, they knew that there were only two outcomes.

Success, glory is endless, defeat, all the games are lost.

Send the two to Dali Temple, it is already the end of time, and there is still an hour before dawn to go to court.

Zhou Jue was also at the door, his face was not good, and when he saw Gu Hengzhou, he immediately strode over, and was about to say something, when Shen Bai's brisk voice came: "Two adults, do you want to drink the pear blossom brew that has been cellared for ten years?" ”

Shen Bai drove the carriage and sat on the wheel and asked.

She changed into a man's clothes, her hair was tied up high, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she became the teenager in the Tai Academy who provoked right and wrong all day long.

The two hesitated slightly, got into the carriage, and Shen Bai drove to the Great Commander's Mansion.

Zhou Jue was really in a bad mood, and after sitting down, he didn't say a word, opened the altar seal and drank wildly, and Gu Hengzhou accompanied him to drink an altar.

Shen Bai smelled the smell and began to be greedy, swallowed his saliva, secretly took a jar, and as soon as he opened it, Gu Hengzhou reached out and snatched it away, and Shen Bai looked at Gu Hengzhou like a puppy.

Gu Hengzhou was very principled, poured a bowl to Shen Bai, and whispered, "That's it." ”

"Oh."

Shen Bai nodded disappointedly, holding the bowl and taking small sips.

Zhou Jue quickly drank the second jar, the wine surged, he fell the jar, and asked Shen Bai with red eyes: "Why?" ”

Shen Bai blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously, "What, why?" ”

Zhou Jue slapped the table and asked angrily: "Why are you behind my back with others?" Since you like him so much, why didn't you marry him in the first place? Did I put a knife on your neck and ask you to marry me? ”

The more Zhou Jue thought about it, the more angry he became, he felt like a fool who was deceived, betrayed, and tricked around!

What is better for children to live separately? It is obviously more convenient for her to have private affairs with others.

During the days and nights when he was on duty in the palace, she was not raising a baby at home at all, but lying in the arms of other men with a red face and a thin sweat.

What she didn't want to do with him, she did it all with other men!

Zhou Jue gritted his teeth, and his cheeks hurt with anger.

Shen Bai didn't arrest anyone, but when he heard Zhou Jue's words, he knew that Jiang Qinse and Gu Hengxiu's private relationship was most likely true.

The upper and lower lives combined, Shen Bai and Zhou Jue's friendship is not shallow, to be honest, she is a little sympathetic to Zhou Jue, compared to the previous life, she has been lingering in the flowers and not getting married, but in this life she became a pro-rator but was cuckolded, Zhou Jue's peach blossom luck is quite bad.

Shen Bai patted Zhou Jue on the shoulder and said: "A manly man, why don't you be too angry, it's better to find out some things as soon as possible than to be kept in the dark for the rest of your life." ”

Shen Bai also knows Zhou Jue, he seems to be shrewd and calculating, but those are outsiders, in fact, they are very short-sighted, Jiang Qinse has always had many requirements after he married him, although he is dissatisfied, he also feels that she is his wife, he has to let him protect it, and he has never doubted that Jiang Qinse will do anything that does not abide by women's morals.

Zhou Jue couldn't listen to the persuasion at this time, glared at Shen Bai and snorted coldly: "The basin is not buckled on your head, of course you are not angry." ”

Also, how can there be so many empathy in this world, he has to think about it himself.

Shen Bai didn't persuade Zhou Jue again, and let him borrow wine to drown his sorrows.

After drinking four jars of wine, Zhou Jue finally got drunk, Gu Hengzhou only drank one jar, and he was not drunk at all, so he sent Zhou Jue to the guest room to rest, after tossing, the sky was already white, Shen Bai grabbed his hand and said softly: "It's not early, Brother Gu, let's go into the palace together." ”

On February 17, the second day of the Prime Minister's 50th birthday, Gu Hengzhou, the commander of Zhen'an, went to court and exposed his cousin Gu Hengxiu and Taiwei Jiang De'an in collusion to deliberately create an incident in a vain attempt to sabotage the diplomatic relations between Nanxiang and Zhaoling and cut off commercial and trade exchanges between the two countries.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was shocked, but then more inside stories were revealed in Dali Temple.

Those who participated in this plan included Li Dai, the son of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Mo, the cousin and nephew of the Ministry of War, Jiang Qinse, the wife of Zhou Jue, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Lu Xi, the wife and niece of the Ministry of Industry.

All the people involved in the case were sent to Dali Temple, as for how to deal with it, it depends on the final review results of Dali Temple and the verdict of Emperor Zhaoming.

Everyone knew what happened at the Xiangfu Birthday Banquet, but they didn't expect Zhao Che's movements to be so big and fast, and he would arrest so many people overnight.

The officials who had been friends with these people before were all nervous, for fear that this fire would burn on them without knowing when.

Gu Huaijin didn't sleep all night, and came to the court early, but he never expected that after a night, his own son would be sent to prison by the child who grew up watching him. Everyone

After going down to the court, Gu Hengzhou was left behind by Zhao Che, Gu Huaijin was not in a hurry to go home after leaving the palace, and had been waiting at the palace gate.

He has been an official all his life, although he has not made any achievements in the ministry, but he can be regarded as conscientious, Yu Gong has no regrets and guilt, Yu is private, he is better to Gu Hengzhou than his own son, and he doesn't feel any regret, now that something like this has happened, his whole brain is wooden.

He was about to reach fifty, and when he came out of the palace, he was suddenly a little dazed, not knowing what he had lived for so many years.

Gu Hengzhou stayed in the palace for a long time, and he didn't come out of the palace until almost noon, and there was no surprise to see Gu Huaijin there, he walked to the side of the carriage, saluted respectfully, and called: "Second uncle." ”

Gu Huaijin choked in his throat and didn't know what to say, so he only patted Gu Hengzhou on the shoulder and motioned for him to get into the car.

The two went back to the Guogong Mansion together, and as soon as they entered the door, the doorkeeper said nervously: "Second master, Young Master Xiu is gone, Madame is in a hurry, you can go and have a look." ”

Gu Huaijin didn't want to speak, waved his hand to signal the door guard to retreat, and went to the main courtyard of the East Courtyard with Gu Hengzhou first.

Gu Tingge was still the same as usual, he had just finished bathing after some exercises, and when he saw the two of them coming in together, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Why did Huai Jin come back with Xingyuan today?" ”

When the words fell, Gu Hengzhou lifted his clothes and knelt down in front of Gu Tingge, and said in a deep voice: "My son exposed his siblings and failed to take care of his blood relationship, so please punish my father." ”

Gu Tingge's face sank, Gu Huaijin knelt down in front of Gu Tingge, and said bitterly: "Huai Jin failed to teach his son well, let this little beast commit a heinous crime, disgrace the ancestors of the Gu family, and insult the lintel of the Gu family, please punish the eldest brother." ”

Gu Tingge realized that something might be wrong last night, and seeing the two of them like this at this time, he was not too surprised, so he only asked softly: "What did Xiu'er do?" ”

After speaking, there was a commotion outside, Gu Tingge frowned, and said sharply: "You don't have to make trouble outside, if you have anything to say, come in and say." ”

Ye Wanyu rushed in crying.

She was worried about Gu Hengxiu's body, she went to see him early this morning, but found that he was not in the room, and asked the people in the courtyard who didn't know where he went, she was so worried that she couldn't do it, she just hoped that Gu Huaijin would come back and help her come up with ideas, but she didn't expect him to come to the East Courtyard as soon as he came back, and she didn't know if the sky had fallen, so that he couldn't even take care of his son.

The more Ye Wanyu thought about it, the more angry she became, so she didn't care about breaking into the East Courtyard, but she didn't expect to see Gu Hengzhou and Gu Huaijin kneeling on the ground as soon as she came in.

Gu Tingge had never played a temper with a commander in the Guogong Mansion, Ye Wanyu was frightened, and her anger was suppressed, and she choked up and asked, "What is this doing, big brother?" ”

Gu Tingge said: "My brother and sister came just in time, I can't hide this matter from you, you can also listen to it next to you." ”

This doesn't sound like anything good, Ye Wanyu beat the drum with her heart, and looked at Gu Huaijin for help, but Gu Huaijin didn't pay attention to her at all.

Gu Hengzhou followed Gu Tingge's question just now and told Gu Hengxiu all the things he had committed in the past two years.

Gu Huaijin had already heard it in the court, and he was still shocked when he heard it again, and he couldn't imagine that his sick and weak son could do such a thing.

Ye Wanyu was also surprised, she had never dealt with the government, but she also knew that these were very big crimes, if she sat on Gu Hengxiu's head, Gu Hengxiu would definitely die.

Ye Wanyu couldn't watch her son have an accident, instinctively vetoed, and said angrily: "Xingyuan, this kind of thing can't be talked about casually, Xiu'er is not in good health, he has been recuperating at home almost every day in the past few years, and he can count the number of times he has gone out, how can he do such a rebellious thing?" ”

Ye Wanyu's voice was very loud, trying to hide her weakness, and without waiting for Gu Hengzhou to answer, she screamed again: "Did that slut named Dongfang Kite Ling say something to you?" She looks exactly like the demon of the Shen family, as soon as she comes back, you will be hooked by her, and now you have to persecute your own brother, go far, you can't be so conscienceless! ”

Ye Wanyu cried after speaking, and she didn't care about Gu Tingge's presence, and said: "You have no mother since you were a child, it was I who pulled you up with a handful of and urine, I have never shortened you for what you eat and wear, it was you who said that it was inconvenient to go to the school lieutenant camp, and you didn't wear those silk satins, I didn't agree with the Shen family's goblin to enter the door, it was also because she had a bad reputation, for your sake, even if you have resentment in your heart, come to me, what are you doing to me Xiu'er?" ”

Ye Wanyu was so angry that she beat her chest, her voice was also sharp, and the noise made people's brains hurt, Gu Huaijin said a word to her, she completely collapsed, grabbed Gu Huaijin and fought with him, complaining that he had treated Gu Hengzhou better than his own son over the years, raised a white-eyed wolf, his words became more and more sharp and unbearable, and the scene was extremely ugly.

Gu Tingge and Gu Hengzhou didn't open their mouths to stop it, because Ye Wanyu made trouble, and because she tore apart the contradictions that had been hidden under the illusion of prosperity of the Guogong Mansion over the years.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Wanyu finally got tired, her voice was hoarse, and she fell to the ground with no strength.

Gu Huaijin's clothes were torn off by him, there were several blood marks on his face and neck, the crown of his hair was also knocked off, and his black and white hair was scattered on his shoulders, which was extremely embarrassed.

Gu Huaijin was much calmer than Ye Wanyu, straightened his clothes and knelt down again, and said in a dumb voice: "Big brother, Xiu'er did make a big mistake this time, which cannot be denied, but the son is not the fault of the father, I am willing to take responsibility with him, and I also ask the eldest brother to plead with His Majesty for the sake of flesh and blood, and beg His Majesty to spare his life." ”

Gu Huaijin's tone was extremely tired, and Ye Wanyu finally realized that spitting and rolling had no effect on this matter, so she quickly knelt down and cried: "Big brother, you can help Xiu'er, Xiu'er also grew up with you, his nature is not bad, he will only make mistakes when he is confused, he is only twenty, and he is still so young, give him another chance, he will definitely change." ”

Ye Wanyu said firmly, Gu Tingge was a little hesitant, the family made such a fuss, it was really unusual.

was silent, and the people outside said, "Master, Captain Zhou is here." ”

At this time, Zhou Deshan came very strangely.

Gu Tingge frowned, let them get up and sit first, and then let Zhou Deshan come in.

Zhou Deshan didn't come alone, and he also held a pink, tender, white and chubby child in his arms.

He was born tall and strong, and the child lay in the crook of his arm and looked more and more weak and petite.

The first time the child went outside, he didn't cry, he opened his big eyes and looked around curiously, which was very cute.

Zhou Deshan held the child and curtsied, and said according to the previous habit in the camp: "I have seen the commander." ”

Gu Tingge stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Zhou Deshan up, looked at the child in the crook of his arm, and asked with a smile: "How did you bring your grandson, the child is still so young, I am not afraid of being frightened by the cold." ”

Zhou Deshan's expression was serious, he smiled reluctantly, looked down at the child in the crook of his arm, his eyes became gentle, and he said softly: "This child is very good, he rarely cries on weekdays, he laughs when he meets people, and he doesn't recognize life at all." ”

"That's a lot of worry, unlike when Xingyuan was a child, he always cried non-stop." Gu Tingge raised his eyebrows twice at the child as he spoke, and the child was really amused and laughed, which was very pleasing.

Zhou Deshan said: "The great commander should hug him." ”

This request was a bit strange, Gu Tingge didn't ask anything, and took the child over and held it in his arms.

They are all military generals, and they looked a little clumsy because they were too careful when they held the child, but fortunately, the child really didn't recognize his life, and he didn't cry, but only blinked his eyes and looked at Gu Tingge curiously.

The child's body is soft and tender, and when he laughs, he feels that his heart melts, and the dull and sharp atmosphere in the room has been blown away a lot, Gu Tingge held the child's soft fart, and said with a smile on his face, "This child is really cute." ”

Zhou Deshan couldn't laugh, and said in a deep voice: "This child has the blood of the Gu family in his body, so let's stay in the Gu family in the future." ”

Gu Tingge's expression froze, Gu Huaijin and Ye Wanyu were stunned, Gu Hengzhou heard Zhou Jue say last night that Jiang Qinse cuckolded him, but he didn't expect the adulterer to come from the Gu family.

Zhou Deshan said: "This morning, Zhou Jue's muddy boy rushed back with a body of alcohol, grabbed the child and took a blood test, the child is not from the Zhou family, if you have any doubts, you can also let Gu Ershao take a blood test with this child again." ”

Zhou Deshan's last sentence was very light, Gu Tingge turned his head to look at Gu Huaijin, Gu Huaijin opened his mouth, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

How could he give birth to such a shameless brute?

Ye Wanyu and Gu Huaijin are different, she wants to hug her grandson and wants to go crazy, although Gu Hengjue got married early, the two have not moved.

She had seen this child several times, and he was really born beautiful.

Ye Wanyu pressed the excitement and asked uncertainly: "This kid ...... Is it Xiu'er's? ”

Zhou Deshan nodded: "Yes." ”

Ye Wanyu subconsciously wanted to hug the child, but Gu Tingge lifted the child high with one hand and didn't let Ye Wanyu touch it.

Gu Tingge's expression was cold, he glanced at Ye Wanyu with murderous aura, and said angrily: "This child has entered the ancestral home of the Zhou family, and he has inherited the blessing of the Zhou family since he was born, you dare to touch him and try it!" ”

Gu Tingge was really angry now, Ye Wanyu was so frightened that she took two steps back, but she didn't give up and said: "Big brother, Captain Zhou just said that this kid has the blood of the Gu family, and he ......"

"In Zhaoling, those who steal adulterers will be immersed in pig cages, and the children they give birth to are also intolerable to the world!" Gu Tingge said angrily, Ye Wanyu's face turned white, and she said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, the child is innocent." ”

Zhou Deshan's eyes were red, if this child was in Jiang Qinse's belly, he could still dispose of him ruthlessly, but now that the child was born, he still watched it grow from a small group to such a big group now, how could he bear to do it?

Zhou Deshan said to Gu Tingge: "Great commander, the child is innocent, since he has the blood of the Gu family in his body, let him grow up in the Gu family in the future, there is no need for him to know his life experience, as long as he teaches well, he will definitely become a man who stands up to the sky in the future." ”

Zhou Deshan's tone was very pitying, Gu Huaijin had no position to speak, just looked at the child, Gu Hengzhou hurriedly said: "Dad, don't be impulsive, the matter has happened, let's deal with it slowly, okay?" ”

Gu Tingge was also very angry, he valued love and righteousness in his life, was loyal and patriotic, but he didn't expect Gu Hengxiu to forget these two things completely.

He gritted his teeth, held back his anger, turned his head to look at Gu Huaijin and said, "This kid and Xiu'er, you choose one." ”
