Xuzhou, Guangling County, seaside

The tide is surging, the waves are crashing on the shore, several building boats are moored on the shore, and some people are busy carrying items on the boat, looking at their clothes, it is the Taiping Army.

Guo Jia, dressed in a dark red brocade robe, stood on the shore, and in front of him stood a group of heroic men, each of whom had shed his armor and changed into a white brocade robe.

"Everyone, what's the trouble?"

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, he would never have imagined that Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin would all appear at the place where he was about to say goodbye.

And these seven people with their families obviously want to retire with him.

Gan Ning hugged his arms and said with a smile: "The world has been decided, I don't want to die of old age in the mansion, following the lord, there should be a different kind of excitement." ”

Dian Wei grinned, no matter when his evil face was in Guo Jia's eyes, it was very cute.

Xu Chu slapped his chest even more, and said in a rough voice: "Lord, I said back then, I will follow you in this life." ”

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Gao Shun, and Zhang Yan laughed and did not speak, obviously expressing the same meaning.

The sea breeze swept by, the clothes were fluttering, Guo Jia sighed, walked in front of them, and said in a deep voice: "Go back, Rong Ma has been living for half a life, after several lives and deaths, it's time to enjoy Qingfu." ”

These are all highly meritorious veterans, who have accompanied Guo Jia to fight the country, and now it is time to stop and enjoy life.

Gan Ning shook his head and said arrogantly: "Is the good land mansion a blessing?" I never see it that way, the lord wants to go to sea and travel far, if I can't go together, I will regret it for life! ”

Guo Jia's expression was stunned, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Okay, what a light money and righteous Gan Xingba, more than 20 years have passed, Xingba, you are still the same as back then!"

Once, the Jinfan thief Qu Shuai never put money and wealth in his eyes, and at that time, perhaps outsiders seemed to be pretending to be chic.

Now, the high-ranking official Houlu is close at hand, but he still sees it as a floating cloud, this is indeed the Jinfan Qu Shuai that Guo Jiada has befriended since the first sight, Gan Xingba!

"In this case, it seems that we are destined to share weal and sorrow in this life until death!"

After Guo Jia laughed, he no longer persuaded them to change their minds.

Let's go, heroes are born in the flames of war, and peace will only wear out one of their ambitions, rather than die of old age, it is better to ride the wind and waves together, and challenge them to a new journey.

The soldiers helped Gan Ning and others to send their families to the ship, and just as Guo Jia was about to turn around and get on the boat, there was an urgent cry in the distance.

"Father! Father! ”

Guo Ye's eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot, galloping, there were 10,000 light horsemen behind him to protect, he galloped to the shore, saw Guo Jia immediately turned over and dismounted, rushed over and knelt directly to the ground.

"Father, don't go, the civil and military officials are waiting for you, the world is waiting for you!"

Guo Ye, who rarely lost his temper, immediately burst into tears, crying like a helpless child, kneeling on the ground and coming towards Guo Jia step by step.

When he arrived in front of Guo Jia, Guo Jia stretched out his hand and gently stroked his head, and said softly: "Ye'er, your grandfather entrusted me before his death, asking me to be a good emperor, you know, my relationship with him is incompatible on the surface, and I can't do anything he asks me to do, but I hope you will come to help my father fulfill his wish." To be a good emperor, how long can you bring peace to the people of the world, do what you can. ”

Guo Ye kept shaking his head and couldn't cry.

And Guo Jia has made up his mind, and still explained him: "I made you the son, you should understand that one day you will inherit everything from me, but this may be ten or twenty years earlier than you expected, it doesn't matter, believe in yourself, you have never let me down, right?" ”

A woman walked down from the building boat, graceful and magnificent, it was Guo Ye's biological mother Cai Yan.

At this moment, Cai Yan smiled kindly, leaned over and gently hugged Guo Ye, lay in his ear, and whispered softly: "Ye'er, your father once said that he would not let his mother take power, but he still lost, you are the proudest child of your mother, take on this responsibility, your father and mother are not around, it doesn't matter, you just remember, what is your surname, what is the blood of the Guo family in your body, you will overcome all the hardships." Maybe when Tianniang comes back, she hopes to see Ye'er as a good emperor praised by the people. ”

Guo Ye was still crying and shaking his head, but Guo Jia had already carried Cai Yan to board the boat.

Guo Ye stood up with tears in his eyes, looking at the boat in the distance, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

On the boat, Cai Yan's eyes were moist, and Guo Jia closed his eyes for a long time before opening his eyes and exhaling a long breath.

Seeing the scenery on the shore swaying, Guo Jia stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the wives and concubines behind him, took Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in his arms, looked at the outline of the green mountains in the distance on the shore, and muttered: "This splendid mountain and river, you can enjoy it from a distance." ”

Five days later, Guo Jia's ship came to Yangzhou, where Guo Jia had 50,000 Taiping troops to take away and well-prepared supplies.

But on a newly built wharf by the sea in Yangzhou, in addition to the dense warships, there is also a newly-built building ship, and the name on the flag makes Guo Jia simply dumbfounded.

"Daddy! It's aunt! ”

Guo Yu pointed to the building boat not far from the opposite side at the bow of the boat, and shouted in surprise.

Three sons, Guo Jia took the young Guo Yu to the outside to see the novelty of the world, so he was on the boat.

When Guo Jia walked out of the cabin, he was rubbing his eyes and looking at the ship opposite, his mouth was wide open and speechless for a long time.

"Bad brother-in-law!"

Zhen Rong, the fourth Miss Zhen Rong, stood at the bow of the boat with her waist crossed, and on both sides of her, there was not only Zhen Mi, who seemed to be out of the dust, but also Zhu Rong, who had an excellent demeanor and unique charm.

Zhen Rong is already a complete old girl, thirty!

Zhen Mi is also twenty-five or sixteen, and Zhu Rong is about the same.

These three old girls are together, it must be no good thing!

Before Guo Jia came back to his senses, Zhen Rong angrily took Zhen Mi and Zhu Rong to board the boat on Guo Jia's side.

syllable

Zhen Rong rushed over and directly hit Guo Jia indiscriminately, crying aggrievedly while beating.

"If it weren't for the fifth sister saying that my brother-in-law would definitely come to Yangzhou before leaving, my brother-in-law would have disappeared without a sound, killing you, killing you......"

The warships of the Taiping Army, the remaining warships and other maritime materials that took over Jiangdong were all in Yangzhou, and Guo Jia set off from Xuzhou and naturally wanted to come to Yangzhou.

Since the Zhen sisters learned that Guo Jia's family members had all left Chengdu, they thought that Guo Jia was preparing to ascend the throne and become emperor, so they naturally wanted to move their family to the capital, but there was no news, which made the Zhen sisters panic.

Now Zhen Mi's face is also flushed, and she has no face when Zhen Rong makes such a fuss.

Guo Jia took Zhen Rong in his arms, the middle-aged man had unloaded any burden at this time, it was completely like the frivolity of his youth, he had no scruples at all, while hugging Zhen Rong, who suddenly quieted down and buried his head on his shoulder, he looked at Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi's pure face was as red as fire, and he hung his head in shame, Guo Jia looked at Zhu Rong again and asked, "You also come to join in the fun?" ”

Zhu Rong curled his fingers in his hair, looked at the sea, and said indifferently: "If you want to travel far away, I will follow you to see the world." ”

After speaking, Qiu Bo's dark eyes raised his eyebrows at Guo Jiayi, and his charm was endless.

Since he knew that it was a fire pit, some people were willing to jump, so Guo Jia would take it all.

Regardless of etiquette, he also hugged Zhen Mi in his arms, and Guo Jia walked towards the cabin without looking back.

Guo Yu, who pretended to ignore it, faced the sea, but was startled by Guo Jia's shout.

"Son, go and call your mother, and say that you will have a wedding wine today!"

......

After Guo Ye, who has become the new lord, returned to Luoyang, he first moved the Guo family to Chang'an, Guo Jia left, leaving Guo Jin, Guo Ying, and others including his young sister and Sun Shangxiang's daughter born with him.

The world was unified, Guo Ye ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the country name was Tang.

The choice of a Tang is not accidental, but when Guo Ye visits Guo Jia's study, he often finds that Guo Jia splashes ink and always writes down a Tang character.

In fact, this Tang is Guo Jia's surname in his previous life, and he writes it from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, which is a kind of reminiscence.

At the beginning of the new country, amnesty was granted to the world.

The government and the opposition have taken on a new look, with both the older generation of important ministers who have made indispensable contributions, such as Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Qin Mi, Pang Tong, etc., as well as new talents, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Liu Ba, Lu Xun, etc.

Although there are many tiger generals among the generals, there are Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, Deng Zhi and other mainstays of the Taiping Army, as well as the new generation of Dianman, Xu Yi, Zhang Hu, Zhang Fang, Gan Gui, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi and others as successors.

After Guo Ye ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to reform the chaotic bureaucratic system left by the Qin and Han dynasties, and use a more complete and rigorous system of three provinces and six ministries.

From then on, the feudal political system matured, and this system continued until the demise of feudal society.

As soon as he ascended the throne, Guo Ye, who was diligent in government affairs, ushered in the letter of Ma Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Looking at the few things presented by Ma Jun, Guo Ye looked at them one by one and asked puzzledly, "What's the use of these?" ”

Ma Jun immediately introduced: "These are all handed over to the subordinate officials by the lord before parting, this, this is the stirrup, this is, the horseshoe, this is the saddle ......"

After fully understanding the usefulness of these things, Guo Ye was stunned.

These were all left by Guo Jia to him, in order to conquer the northern nomadic aliens in the future after the world was settled!

Since Guo Ye ascended the throne for three years, there have been occasional remnants of rebellion across the country, all of which have been suppressed by thunder.

After that, it entered a new period of high-speed development.

After another eight years, the veteran Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were in command, Zhuge Liang was the military advisor, Dian Man, Xu Yi, Gan Gui, Zhang Hu, Zhang Fang, Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and other generals all went out to fight, leading 100,000 iron cavalry, 100,000 strong bows and crossbow troops, and the Northern Expedition!

Slaughtered millions of people of the Qianghu Xianbei clan, and where the Taiping army passed, all the aliens died!

The success of this battle is no less than that of the Han Dynasty when the wolf Juxu was sealed.

After another three years, Guo Ye, who had been on the throne for nearly fifteen years, went to Mount Tai to seal Zen with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!

After some turmoil in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the four seas were peaceful, the country was peaceful, the national strength was thriving, and there were the world's meritorious deeds of attacking foreign races in the north, Guo Ye was diligent and loved the people for more than ten years.

Guo Ye, who is nearly forty years old, always looks like a bit of Guo Jia's elegant and dignified shadow back then.

The sky was bright, and on the way to Mount Tai, 100,000 Taiping troops guarded the road, accompanied by hundreds of officials, and even many officials like Xi Zhicai who had returned to their hometowns came one by one.

In the imperial honor guard, Guo Ye sat in the luan, his hands on the armrests made of gold.

Gold is different from other metals, other metals will heat up when touched by the hand, but gold is as cold as a god, Guo Ye likes to hold gold in his hands, not because gold is precious and dazzling, but always reminds him to calm down with a cold touch.

This eternal law is the most important rule of survival that his father taught him.

There was a boy beside him who was holding a scroll and reading carefully, and occasionally he would look up and ask Guo Ye if he didn't understand something, this was the only heir he brought to the Feng Zen ceremony this time, surnamed Guo Minghong.

Guo Ye closed his eyes and recuperated, and his father's voice and smile kept coming to mind.

To this day, no one knows what to call Guo Jia.

Is it the first emperor?

But no one knows whether Guo Jia is alive or dead.

Guo Ye issued a holy decree, if there is no news of Guo Jia on the day of his death, he will set up a monument for Guo Jia at that time.

Zen sealing!

Emperor Qin and Han Wu, only three people did this.

Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Now the fourth person is Guo Ye.

Guo Ye is not excited about the upcoming Zen Ceremony, maybe this Mandate of Heaven is the king, so that the people will be born, sue for peace in the sky, and repay the merits of the gods, but Guo Ye stands at the Temple of Heaven to convey his thoughts about Guo Jia through the will of heaven.

When he was in a trance, someone disturbed Guo Ye.

"Your Majesty, there is someone blocking the road ahead, and I want to see Your Majesty by name."

Zhuge Liang, who was in Zaifu, and Lu Xun, the secretary of the military department, came to Luan Jia together, and reported the news with a solemn expression.

Guo Ye was just about to reply, but when he saw Luan driving aside, someone rode by, looking at the outstanding figure, Guo Ye looked helpless.

It is Guo Ying, the Qingle princess who has been able to make the Guo family's chickens fly and dogs jump since she was a child.

When Guo Ye wanted to ask what was going on, Gan Gui also appeared in front of him, and said with an embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, this ......"

Waving his hand casually, Guo Ye knew his sister's temperament, and no one could control it.

And if this girl is a man, I'm afraid it will be turned upside down!

She became serious, and even her own son could be expelled from the house, the reason was that the son molested a woman from a good family on the street, and was almost not killed by Guo Ying on the spot, and later the nephew changed his mind and couldn't make Guo Ying change his mind and let him go home again, Guo Ye went to intercede in person, but Guo Ying blocked him back with a word.

"I'm my father's daughter, he's my son, if my father knows that there is such a grandson, do you want to be angry with my father, or force me to kill myself?"

Faced with such a sister, Guo Ye was very surprised how Gan Gui could respect her for more than ten years.

"Who's coming in front of you?"

Even if Guo Ye is close to the people, he doesn't necessarily know that anyone who wants to see him will get his wish, not to mention that someone names him, which is disrespectful!

Lu Xun's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "The person who spoke in the group said that he was His Majesty's third brother. ”

Guo Yu?!

Guo Ye, who was already moody, was stunned at first, and then showed a shocked face.

"So what are you waiting for? Bring him to me! ”

Guo Ye immediately ordered to urge.

Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Gan Gui looked at each other.

To tell the truth, the two of them have never seen Guo Yu before, Gan Guijian has seen it, it was also when Guo Yu was a child, and this Guo Sangongzi has not been doing business since he was a child, and outsiders rarely interact with him, so no one has left much impression.

What if someone is impersonating?

"General Deng led the troops to search his body, but the man refused, and now the two sides are deadlocked."

What if it was an assassination? Zhuge Liang can't just let a stranger get close to Guo Ye, right?

Just when Guo Ye wanted to give an order, Deng Ai came and came to Luan to report before he got off the horse and reported: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has confirmed that the person who came is His Majesty's third brother, King Wuyang. ”

After Guo Ye heard this, he was excited, and after more than ten years, he finally waited for the news of his relatives.

When she was standing up and looking, Guo Ying, the eldest princess, had already pulled a few young girls past by hand left and right, and smiled at him who was driving Luan: "Brother, these are all my own sisters, look, this is Qing'er, you were in Xuchang when she was born." ”

Looking at a few pretty little girls, Guo Ye wanted to say hello, but Guo Ying ignored them directly, and pulled them back.

Ahead, Zhang Yi walked towards this side with Guo Yu, who was already a handsome son.

Guo Ye looked at it from a distance, almost bursting into tears with excitement, but this was a little different from the reunion he expected.

The third son, Guo Yu, stared left and right with an unhappy face, especially Zhang Yi, who almost started with him just now, which especially attracted his grinning expression of revenge, followed by a flower-like woman beside Guo Yu, smiling lightly, constantly patting Guo Yu's arm, signaling him not to mind the dispute just now.

Behind the two of them, there was a boy of about ten years old, holding a delicate chessboard with strange chess pieces on it, and he was intently staring at the chessboard as he walked, not caring at all about the outside world.

When Guo Yu came to Guo Ye, Guo Ye just wanted to step forward and hug Guo Yu, after all, the reunion of brothers was irrepressible.

However, as soon as Guo Yu looked up at Guo Ye, he opened his mouth to say a word.

"Big brother, how did you become an emperor? How come the people under his command don't even know the information about their own brothers? Did I give birth to an ordinary face? ”

Guo Ye's mouth didn't say a word in the end, and he saw Guo Yu get on the luan car with his legs, and after looking left and right, he sat down cross-legged, and then patted the position next to him, so that the woman also sat up, and the two opened up some distance, and the young man also sat up consciously, put the chessboard, and continued to meditate.

"Let's go, what are you doing in a daze? Aren't you in a hurry to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen? ”

After Guo Yu finished speaking, the people around him were dumbfounded.

This has to be changed to one person, ten heads, no, the whole family must die in the household register!

Guo Ye's emotions that had been brewing for a long time suddenly disappeared, and with a wave of his hand, the honor guard continued to move forward.

After this trip, Guo Yu turned his head and asked Guo Ye: "Big brother, who is this kid?" ”

The person he pointed to was Guo Ye's son, holding the scroll and looking at Guo Yu as if he had seen a monster.

Guo Ye was just about to open his mouth to introduce, but Guo Yu said again: "Alas, is it okay not to drive the horse?" I'm looking for him. ”

Guo Ye, who had been choked several times in a row, let out a long sigh and said, "Third brother, you should introduce it first, who is this next to you?" ”

Guo Ye's eyes were looking at the woman.

"You don't know? Daddy gave me my daughter-in-law, Xiaohu, haven't you seen my eldest brother? ”

Sun Xiaohu frowned and thought about it very distressedly, then shook his head.

I really haven't seen it, even after she lived in Guo's house, she has been raised in the deep boudoir, and she doesn't want to see outsiders.

Guo Yu sighed softly, stretched out his arm and pressed Sun Xiaohu's shoulder, and said to Guo Ye: "Then, I recognize it, this is the doll that my father ordered for me since I was a child, big brother, you know, she is that little tiger, little tiger, remember, right?" ”

It is difficult for Guo Ye to imagine who Guo Yu has been away for more than ten years to learn from this gangsterism......

Stretching out his hand again, he pointed to the young man who had not moved for a long time on the chessboard, Guo Ye asked, "Then this is your child, third brother?" ”

Guo Yu was taking a bite of the tea and fruit in Luan's car, and when he heard Guo Ye's words, he immediately squirted out.

Ahem, ahem

Sun Xiaohu patted Guo Yu's back with concern, glanced at Guo Ye helplessly, and said, "This is uncle!" Your fourth brother. ”

Guo Ye was about to collapse, closed his eyes to collect his emotions, and asked again.

"And who is his mother?"

"Fifth Aunt Zhen."

Sun Xiaohu's words made Guo Ye feel dizzy again, and he couldn't have imagined that this ruthless young man who was not speaking was actually Zhen Mi, who was as angry as a dragon and escaped from the dust.

"Fourth brother, what are you playing here?"

Guo Ye looked down at the brother who was as big as his son holding the chessboard but didn't move, and looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, which were too weird, human-shaped, and beast-shaped.

The fourth brother slowly turned his head, inexplicably glanced at Guo Ye in a dragon robe, and seemed to ask in a disdainful tone: "Play?" ”

Guo Yu coughed softly a few times, leaned into Guo Ye's ear and said, "The fourth brother likes to play chess, he has chess in his hand, and his father taught him." Don't bother him, in Daddy's words, he's already obsessed with chess, so let me bring him back and see if there's anything else that can distract him. ”

When Guo Ye heard this, he was fascinated?!

Is it a terminal illness?

"Why don't you call the imperial doctor to take a look immediately?"

Guo Yu shook his head and said: "This is not a disease, Dad's statement, similar to what kind of addiction, anyway, you can't extricate yourself from addiction, just be addicted to it, don't look at the fourth brother who is doing nothing now, in fact, in his heart, there are two of them who are calculating each other." Hey, you don't understand either. ”

Guo Ye, who was confused when he heard it, was even more confused.

"The imperial doctor can't see it well? Then third brother, did you bring him back because you wanted your brother to take care of him? ”

Guo Yu scratched his head and said: "I dragged my family to bring back a few younger brothers and sisters, so that you can take good care of them, and in addition, set up a scientific research institute for me. That's why I'm looking for a horse to drive, and besides, my dad said that if the left leader hasn't risen yet, he should be able to help me. ”

Zuo Ci is definitely a freak, the human body, the life span of the turtle, is still alive and kicking, and the body is better than that of a young man.

Guo Ye immediately agreed, he had seen gunpowder in some of Guo Jia's handwritings, and he had heard a little about it, and his brother wanted to study this thing, so he should support it fully.

After suppressing the excitement for a long time, Guo Ye finally couldn't help it, and asked in a deep voice: "Third brother, father, he, he ......"

The words came to his lips, but he couldn't ask, and the answer that Guo Ye was most afraid of was that Guo Jia had passed away.

But Guo Yu took a sip of tea, ate a snack, and shrugged his shoulders after sipping his lips and said, "Big brother is asking Dad, right?" He's fine, before I left, he and the old man were still surfing. Eh, daughter-in-law, what are we calling when we leave that place? ”

Sun Xiaohu puffed out his cheeks and said sullenly: "Indonesia." ”

Guo Ye didn't understand why Sun Xiaohu had such an unhappy expression, he looked puzzled, Guo Yu saw the meaning of his expression, patted him on the shoulder and said lightly: "Xiaohu is afraid of blood, and she is most afraid of her father, because in her eyes, her father is the killer demon king. ”

......

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

With the advancement of civilization and the development of navigation technology, Asian islands have been continuously discovered, but all small islands in East Asia and Southeast Asia have traces of civilization under the confirmation of modern civilization and technology, but every time a lander like a new continent comes ashore, a huge stone tablet will be found on the shore of the island, on which a few lines of words are engraved with dragons and phoenixes.

These include the year, month and day, as well as Guo Jia's visit here.

Since then, archaeologists and historians have confirmed that in the early second century AD, the island nations of Southeast Asia and East Asia were subjected to genocide.

And the person who created this tragedy that shocked the past and the present is Guo Jia, who has been named "Hitler of the East" by modern historians.

For thousands of years, countless people have tried to search for the imperial tomb of this uncrowned emperor, but to no avail.

And when the troubled times came, there were countless people searching for some codexes that Guo Jia might have circulated, although no one has proved it, but there are legends that have always existed, and if you can get his codex, you can dominate the mountains and rivers in the troubled times.

Where did Guo Jia go? Where does it end up?

Are those mythical legends true?

It will always be a mystery.
