Entering the palace gate, the second prince asked in a low voice, "Do they really understand?" ”

"Understood."

"That's good."

Gu An glanced at the second prince Qi Beiluo and said, "If you let me, this matter will not be fun." ”

The second prince spread his hands and said helplessly: "They obviously chose you, what do they have to do with me?" ”

"Oh, I hope so."

Seeing that Gu'an no longer looked at himself, the second prince quietly breathed a sigh of relief, only hoping that this matter could go smoothly, and also hoping that the two could really understand what they meant.

Although it is said that it is a competition, the second prince does not want to become the emperor, for him, this bet is more like how to push the other party to become the emperor.

"When will I be able to calm down? It's just a little trick that succeeded, as for being happy like this? ”

Listening to Gu An's words without any ups and downs, the second prince only felt that he seemed to be seen through, he was really a terrible person!!

When the two princes returned to the palace, Lin Xin and Gu Yu were still in a trance, and the two stood at the gate of the palace for a while, Gu Yu said: "If you are not in a hurry to go home, it is better to accompany me for a walk." ”

Gu Yu had too many doubts in his heart, he couldn't ask just now, it was because there were three princes, and now only he and Lin Xin were left, so he naturally wanted to find an opportunity to ask.

Lin Xin smiled a little ruffianly, nodded and immediately agreed: "Since you missed dinner, it's better to invite Gu Da to this meal." ”

Seeing Lin Xin's appearance of eating and drinking without skin and face, at this time, he asked for this, Gu Yu did not have the slightest surprise, so he nodded, looking like he was rich and let him order.

Lin Xin and Gu Yu can be regarded as casual people, so they found a noodle restaurant casually and sat in.

Although this noodle restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere, there are not many people eating noodles here, so it should be a good place, at least in terms of taste.

The mouths of the people in the capital are very tricky, and if the taste is not good, they will go out of business in three or five months. The door here looks like it's been around for some years, and it doesn't look like it's fake.

The two of them each asked for a bowl of noodles and some side dishes, but they didn't care about the environment here.

Gu Yu originally had a little habit of cleanliness, but over the years, he had been worn away by Lin Xin.

Waiting for the store to bring the noodles to him, Lin Xin took two bites with chopsticks, and suddenly said: "The first bowl of noodles I came to eat in the capital is this one, think about it carefully, this may be the first time I met Xie Saburo." ”

Lin Xin has no other hobbies, he just likes to eat, which is a little similar to Xie Saburo at the beginning, and he misses the hot pot together in the Red Mansion at the beginning.

Now they get together once in a while, but it feels a lot different. Obviously, everything hasn't changed, but it's just a little bit worse.

And now, most of the time they will still avoid suspicion, after all, the Red Mansion exists for the emperor, usually Gu Yu and Lin Xin are not in a high position, naturally they can have no scruples, but now it is different, they at least represent the three forces of the imperial court, and their strength should not be underestimated.

And coupled with Xu Yaxian's secret strength, if they really want to unite to deal with the emperor, there will be no problem at all.

However, the current Celestial Empire is different from the previous Celestial Empire, which was riddled with holes.

What can you do in 10 years?

Most of the river embankments in the Celestial Empire can be reinforced, at least, there have been few floods in the past ten years, except for a few places where the terrain is really low, and there have been few droughts and floods.

And because of Mrs. Rong, the financial resources of the Celestial Empire are also growing day by day, and if the current Celestial Empire really wants to win several other countries in one fell swoop, it will not be a problem.

As for why he didn't do it, it was just because there were no suitable generals now, and there were no soldiers in the middle, and it would take a few years of precipitation.

The most important change in the Celestial Empire was the popularization of knowledge, and it was also because of this system that the status quo in many places was changed.

Although some places are remote, the information is closed, or the people are fixed and do not understand why they waste time studying, but in general, it is much better than the previous situation where only one in 100 people could read and write, at least now the penetration rate has reached 1/10.

And as time goes by, at least during the period when Qi Yuan succeeds to the throne, the Celestial Empire will get better and better.

After Lin Xin finished speaking, he began to eat, which made Gu Yu stunned, and he would also remember his encounter with Xie Sanlang, if he hadn't helped him, he might have died at this time.

Who would have thought that Xie Saburo would die so young.

Seeing that Gu Yu was also deep in thought, Lin Xin hurriedly said: "The deceased has passed away, don't be too sad, eat noodles and eat noodles." ”

Gu Yu nodded and asked, "Is there any news about the wind and rain recently?" ”

Lin Xin shook his head, at least he didn't return to the capital after listening to the wind and rain, maybe they went to travel the rivers and lakes, but in the rivers and lakes, he didn't hear that there were women who matched the temperament of the two of them.

Gu Yu took a few bites, and this noodle was indeed glutenous. Putting down Xie Sanlang's matter, Gu Yu turned to ask the biggest question in his heart.

"What the hell is going on today?"

Lin Xin swallowed a mouthful of meat, and responded vaguely: "You really don't know." ”

Then he sighed again and said, "Actually, it's nothing, these two are fighting for the throne." ”

He said this very casually, and he couldn't lower his voice, and there was a lot of noise around him, but no one noticed the situation in this place.

It's just that Gu Yu felt that this was still a bit sensational, so he lowered his voice and confirmed: "Is this true?" ”

Gu Yu was not surprised at all that Gu An dared to compete for the throne as a woman, because her courage almost made people ignore her gender.

He was surprised that they were still too young, and that the method they chose was actually on the bright side, which was terrifying.

Lin Xin said: "Naturally, just let us stand in line. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Xin sighed, he didn't expect that he would be disliked, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"You chose a princess?"

Gu Yu recalled what Gu An said when he first entered the room, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and then asked again: "Are you sure?" ”

However, Gu Yu didn't believe it, but these two children, one had not yet reached the age of ten, and the other had just passed his tenth birthday.

If they let people have such scheming, it is really scary.

"Sort of. But she doesn't seem to be very willing, and you don't have to worry, since they are children, they are naturally childish. ”

Lin Xin said with a little crying and laughing, speaking of which, he himself understood why, after all, Lin Xin's reputation was not very good.

Although Gu Yu's reputation is not very good, it is mostly because of the official position of Jinyiwei, and one point is Lin Xin's friend.

And Lin Xin's is only because after he became the secretary of Dali Temple, he created the ten major tortures in Dali Temple, and the most terrible thing is that this kind of torture is only aimed at corrupt officials, so he has a very bad reputation in the entire officialdom.

"However, this is just a child's thing, and you don't have to take it too seriously, just do your own thing. Do you know what is the best characteristic of a child? ”
