17. Keep improving

Since the victory of the Li family, the dispute between the princesses has come to an end, and after the Li family became the princess, it seems that they are not in a hurry to eradicate the Qian family to eliminate future troubles, but treat the Qian family more than before, and even the king of Chu, who is known as a sister, was very pleased when he learned about this matter, so he handed over all the big and small matters in the palace to the princess of Chu to take care of.

And Zhao Xuan has been very busy in the past two days, since he was promoted, he urged those subordinates to clean up the courtyard quickly, and went to buy a home in person, almost a week later, Zhao Xuan officially moved into his courtyard.

Zhao Xuan's courtyard is almost the size of an acre of land, I have to say that Gu Dahong has indeed made a big deal this time, in the capital, such a house, no one wants to live in a thousand taels, of course, this house is not bought by Gu Dahong with money, but a minister in the court entrusted him to do things, in order to express his gratitude, he bought such a mansion for Gu Dahong in the city, and Gu Dahong lives in the West Factory on weekdays, plus most of the hundreds of households in the West Factory perform tasks all day long, and rarely live in the capital in a year, So this mansion is naturally cheaper than Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan originally wanted to take his parents to live in the city, but Zhao's father and Zhao Niang felt that it was inconvenient to live in the city, and the old couple was just a native of the countryside, so they were afraid that they would cause chaos to the baby, so they made an excuse to resign Zhao Xuan's invitation, Zhao Xuan had no choice but to send ten taels of silver to the family, hoping to make his parents live better, and although Zhao's father and Zhao Niang said that their life was more ordinary, they knew that their son was out of business, and his face in the village was getting bigger and bigger.

In order to decorate it well, Zhao Xuan spent a full thirty taels of gold, in order to live comfortably, Zhao Xuan specially bought those good furniture, and personally selected some precious flowers and trees outside the city, transplanted them to the backyard and front yard, in this way, there are purple magnolias, roses, rhododendrons, etc. in spring, lotus, peonies, lilies, etc. in summer, chrysanthemums, yueji, begonias, etc. in autumn, and a bunch of red, triangular flowers, plums, etc. in winter, in a small courtyard, But it's really a hundred flowers

Seeing Zhao Xuan so busy arranging his mansion, Gu Dahong didn't bother, and on the night when Zhao Xuan went in to live, Gu Dahong found Zhao Xuan.

"Yo, Xuan'er, did you eat so late?" A man in black walked into the hall of the Zhao Mansion and looked at Zhao Xuan, Qian Hu, Ma Feng and others who were eating.

Seeing that it was the factory man who came in, a cadre of people hurriedly put down the chopsticks in their hands and knelt down on one knee, "My subordinates meet the factory father!" ”

"Okay, let's eat, kneel down one by one, get up!" Gu Dahong said jokingly.

After receiving the will of the factory father, all the cadres stood up, looking at the factory father with some embarrassment, Zhao Xuan took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Factory father, I will also add you a pair of dishes and chopsticks, let's eat together, the chef I am looking for is the original chef in the capital who is full of fragrance, that craftsmanship, can be called a master!" ”

"Okay, Xuan'er, you come with me, the rest of the people, you sit down and continue to eat!" After speaking, Gu Dahong walked towards Zhao Xuan's room.

Let them continue to eat, Zhao Xuan followed Gu Dahong and went to his room.

"Xuan'er, this is some of the books I found from the many bookstores in the West Factory, which will be helpful for you to learn the ability to observe words and colors and check and balance people in the future, if I can return to the West Factory alive tonight, if you have any questions, continue to ask me." Gu Dahong opened a window and looked at the night sky outside the window, it just so happened that there was a moon tonight, but it was a pity, it was curved, and it was still looming, and it was not very bright.

Listening to what Gu Dahong said, Zhao Xuan felt that something was not quite right, "Factory father, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gu Dahong turned around, grabbed Zhao Xuan's arm with both hands, and looked at Zhao Xuan, "Good boy, I know that you are very clever, and you are also very smart, today's Emperor Wu is mediocre, the prince is knowledgeable but there is no talent available, if there is a chance, go to him at the right time to help him ascend to the throne, but also supervise him, so that this great Song Jiangshan can live a little longer!" ”

Looking at Gu Dahong, Zhao Xuan suddenly felt that the factory was like saying his last words, "Factory Gong"

"Good boy, there are annotations in these books, and there are also ancient examples, I know that you are not good at reading those rigid books, in the end, these are the only ones that can be given to you, alas, the old man has been crisscrossing the sea for decades, and in the end, he still collapsed the foundation he has built!"

Zhao Xuan couldn't understand what the factory was saying, but he knew that perhaps, after today, the West Factory might be removed.

"Good boy, take care, the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty depends on you!" After speaking, Gu Dahong disappeared.

Looking at Gu Dahong who disappeared in front of him, the corners of Zhao Xuan's eyes were a little moist, he didn't know how he could shed tears for a person he had only known for more than ten days, even if that person had taught him a lot of things

In a small forest outside the capital, "Gu Dahong! Stop! After speaking, more than a dozen black-clothed people surrounded Gu Dahong.

"Humph! After chasing me all the way, do you finally want to do it? Gu Dahong smiled coldly and took off the veil on his head.

"Or else! If I catch up with you, I will invite you to eat wine and food! Give it to me! After speaking, more than a dozen people put on a strange formation and surrounded Gu Dahong in the middle.

"Kill!" Gu Dahong shouted, and blasted the person closest to him three meters away with one palm.

But then, there was another person to fill the previous vacancy, Gu Dahong's physical strength was constantly declining, and there were people around him who kept filling it.

Gu Dahong saw that they were using crowd tactics, and his heart was invincible, so he tried his best and wanted to escape.

"Humph! If I can catch up with you, will I let you run away?! Array! Dragnet! After speaking, the leader and all the people in the formation quickly retreated, found the nearest tree, cut it down with a knife, and a large net covered Gu Dahong.

It seems like a lot of action, but in fact, it is only a matter of moments.

"Come on! Gagged this old thief in his mouth, lest he bite his tongue and kill himself!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as the man finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of cloth into Gu Dahong's mouth.

"Yes, no seriously injured people, go!" With that, the gang disappeared into the night

Zhao Xuan didn't know about this, but after Gu Dahong left, there was a faint nervousness in his heart, but this nervousness flashed, and Zhao Xuan didn't care, and began to read those books.

I have to say that these books are indeed of great use to Zhao Xuan, although the few words are only a few thousand words, and the many are only tens of thousands of words, but many of these books are books written by the ministers who have been investigated, among which the insight into the checks and balances of the emperor can be described as a sharp point, which makes Zhao Xuan very unhappy (to be continued)
