Winter mornings are cold, let alone in the mountains. Xie Yaoguang and Gu Qingzhi went out of the city early in the morning to the Gu family cemetery, and after stepping off the carriage, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but wrap his fur clothes tightly, stood at the foot of the mountain, and looked up at the green mountains and green stones under a mist, lush and lush trees.

"The last time I came, it was still Qingming, but I didn't expect it to be almost the end of the year when I came again." Xie Yaoguang gathered his confused thoughts and smiled softly, "I probably won't go back to my home for the New Year this year, and there are not many people in Xie Mansion who are strangely lonely." It's better for you and Yun Fan to come to my house for the New Year, and I'm so lively. ”

"I think it's good, when the time comes, the three of us can pick up plums and make tea, and it won't be a joy in the world to hug the stove and enjoy the snow." Taking the sleeve stove handed by Suzaku, Gu Qingzhi reached out and touched it to make sure that the temperature was just right before stuffing it into Xie Yaoguang's hand, and couldn't help but lift her lips and smile.

Xie Yaoguang tightened his coat tightly, and glanced at Gu Qingzhi with a smile, "I hid a Weng plum on the new snow a few years ago, and it should be good to use it to make tea." ”

"Then it's settled."

While speaking, the two of them were already approaching the Gu family's cemetery, and Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but deliberately slow down his pace. His eyes were fixed on the archway engraved with the Zhilan jade tree, and after being silent for a while, he lowered his eyes to hide the regret that flashed in his eyes. Exhaling the turbid breath that had been stuck in his chest, he sighed and continued to move forward.

After the Gu family suffered hardship, Emperor Li once made a clear decree that no one was allowed to worship the Gu family. Later, for some reason, I turned a blind eye to someone worshipping the Gu family, as long as I didn't go too far, I could go with you.

Although this cemetery is overgrown with weeds, it is not so much that there is nowhere to put your feet. The stone statues on both sides of the Shinto Road are covered with verdant moss, obscuring the original appearance of the stone statues. The smell of stale decay came to the nose, and under the thick fallen leaves, it seemed that unknown creatures were growing wildly in the shadows, absorbing the nutrients of this place for a hundred years.

After walking around the tomb of the ancestor of the Gu family for a while before arriving at the tomb of Mrs. Gu, looking at the handwriting on the tombstone, Xie Yaoguang sighed, and the melancholy in his eyes gradually became stronger.

"Grandfather, my aunt has come to see you again. I have already learned most of the truth about the family change back then, although I don't know what deal you made with the emperor to save my life, but I must wash the grievances suffered by the Gu family. Feeling melancholy, Xie Yaoguang looked solemn and bowed his knees in front of Mrs. Gu's tomb, bowed three times, and said softly: "From today onwards, everything about redressing the grievances of the Gu family and Zhaoxue is tied to me. But please rest assured grandfather that you will never forget what you taught me at the beginning, and that I would never commit such a thing as treason. ”

Catching a glimpse of a glimmer of crystal in the corner of Xie Yaoguang's eyes, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but shake her head. Even though the Gu family worked hard for the country, I don't know how many people were sacrificed, but after all, it couldn't withstand the emperor's suspicion. Even a character like Gu Taifu will not go against the holy will because of the ancestral training under the imperial power. Even if such behavior is foolish in the eyes of outsiders, it is a righteous word for those who are ministers. The king wants the minister to die, and in order to repay the king's kindness, there is no other way to remove the blade from the neck.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm Gu Qingzhi. It's my childhood playmate, I don't know if you remember me? But don't worry, I won't let my aunt go alone to redress the Gu family's grievances, I will accompany her. Gu Qingzhi respectfully held the incense and bowed three times, and said in a solemn voice.

Slanted a glance at Gu Qingzhi, Xie Yao's eyes flowed out of gratitude before, "Qingzhi...... Thank you very much. ”

"How can you and I talk about thanks?" Gu Qingzhi took her arm and helped Xie Yaoguang up, "It's not long since I left the morning market, we should go back too." When you go back, you can rest and don't be tired. ”

"I can't rest. I haven't done Su Qinglin's conditions yet...... Calculating the time, the envoys of the Northern Yan should also be almost there. Since he wants Su Wan to go and kiss, he has to let King Shou know. This can be regarded as a difficult ending for the emperor. Smoothing out the wrinkles on her skirt, Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes and looked at the black finch flying on the pine tree not far away, and a trace of sneer slipped under his eyes.

After hearing Xie Yaoguang's words, Gu Qingzhi's steps stagnated and wondered: "What does Su Qinglin want Su Wan to do with his relatives?" He wouldn't have any other intentions, would he? This person is cunning, and you need to be more careful. ”

"Probably not. Alas...... At first, I planned to wait for Su Qinglin to be exiled, and then seek another way for Su Wan to survive. But...... Su Qinglin is very right, maybe harmony is the best choice for Su Wan. Xie Yaoguang sighed lightly, "It's just that at this point, the mountains and rivers are wide, and you know where your hometown is?" On Beiyan's side, I will try to arrange someone to take care of her. ”

"You are full of devotion to Su Wan. Now that Beiyan is in power, it is Ye Luyan, since you have helped him a lot, presumably he will also take more care of Su Wan. Thinking of Su Wan, who had always been gentle and kind, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but shake her head regretfully. It's a pity that such a good girl is in the Su family.

Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Qingzhi...... When you reach the city gate, you will come down and walk into the city. I plan to personally go to King Shou's Mansion to return to King Shou's situation last night and test King Shou's thoughts on Beiyan and his relatives. to push Su Wan out. ”

"That's good. You remember to go back and rest when you're done. ”

"Hmm."

There is a precedent for the marriage of Liyan, and this time Beiyan sent envoys to Dali to rebuild the good of Qin and Jin. I wanted to marry the county lord of Jingning before, but I was defeated by Xie Yaoguang like Xidi, and I returned with a feather. At this time, the new emperor of Northern Yan ascended the throne, and there were all the grassland tribes secretly peeping and ready to move. For the sake of the overall situation, we can only give permission to the National Congress of the People's Republic of China to make peace with each other in order to repair the old one.

For Beiyan, no matter who the marriage partner is, they won't care. As long as this person is a citizen of the Great Calendar, he can stabilize the good relations between the Qin and Jin dynasties between the two countries. Of course, they prefer to marry someone who is important in the calendar.

Today, King Shou does not need to go to court. Although King Shou did not get up early every day to train soldiers and horses like King Ding, in order to show his diligence and studiousness, he usually got up early. When Xie Yaoguang came at this time, he had only had breakfast for a long time, and when he heard the attendant in the house say that Xie Yaoguang hurriedly washed up when he came to visit, he hurried to the study to look for someone.

"His Royal Highness King Shou." Seeing that King Shou was coming, Xie Yaoguang got up and bowed.

King Shou blocked Xie Yaoguang, who wanted to salute, and invited her to sit in his opposite position and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xie is polite. Guixu, Xuanjing, you two hurry up and ask the maid in the house to make the new tea that just arrived today and send it over."

"I'm here to tell His Highness the good news." Xie Yaoguang looked at King Shou with a happy face and said softly: "After talking with Su Qinglin for a long time last night, he is already willing to confess. Congratulations to Your Highness for achieving your wish. ”
