The mouse was very sullen, "You're two years younger than me." ”

"But my heart is old," Gu Sheng said with some emotion.

The mouse wanted to say something, but Gu Sheng said: "I'm not old, but my heart is already old, and I don't have the momentum of a young man." ”

"You are different, whether it is affairs or the court, you are more dedicated than me, I can rest assured that I will hand over the cloth guard to you."

"My brothers followed me and handed them over to their own people, which is far better than with outsiders."

"But," the mouse wanted to say more, but Gu Sheng held him down, "I have already made up my mind about this matter, you don't need to say it again." ”

"You must remember that our master is His Majesty, and you must owe allegiance to him."

The mouse pursed the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.

Gu Sheng knew what he thought in his heart, brothers for many years, the two of them were not separated from Meng Meng, even if they were separated, they often flew pigeons to pass on books, and the relationship was very close.

But Gu Sheng's explanation, although he didn't say it, actually made a choice.

In the future, every matter that the mouse checked, the person he wanted to explain was the emperor, and Gu Sheng was no longer involved.

"This is the best way," Gu Sheng said: "You and I have tens of thousands of brothers under our hands, their families are old and young, and some even a dozen or so live on this little money, and now the left and right sides are trying to cut expenses, and Your Majesty also has this meaning." ”

"Although I understand Your Majesty's difficulties, I don't want my brothers to not even have enough to eat, but my identity is sensitive, and talking too much is counterproductive."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is now extremely wary of the two phases, and even if he agrees with some things in his heart, he will not go along with them, this is your chance."

Gu Sheng said: "As long as you can capture his heart, you and your brothers will be stable in the future." ”

Seeing that he was still thinking about everyone until this time, the mouse suddenly became excited.

"My lord, the brothers are not as weak as you think, why should you," Gu Sheng smiled, "Not only you, but also the last order of the first emperor, I must complete it to be worthy of my heart." ”

The rat hung his head again.

Gu Sheng smiled, "It's not early, let's go back early, otherwise Cuixin will be worried." ”

The mouse knew that Gu Sheng would not change his mind, so he could only nod and leave sullenly.

When Yuan Bao'er came over, she happened to see a mouse.

She smiled and said hello, and the mouse barely managed to squeeze a smile before passing by.

Yuan Bao'er was very strange, and after entering, she asked Gu Sheng, "What's wrong with the mouse?" Did you discipline him? ”

Gu Sheng smiled, "He did a good job, why did I discipline him." ”

"Then why did he have that expression?"

Yuan Bao'er asked a little strangely.

Gu Sheng said: "It's today's matter, Your Majesty can't help it, and he is anxious to cultivate his own manpower." ”

"He's embarrassed you," Yuan Bao'er immediately became nervous.

Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head, "He still uses me, how can he do anything." ”

"That's," Yuan Bao'er was surprised.

"It's Your Majesty who has privately found a mouse again, and he feels awkward, so it's good to turn around this momentum."

Yuan Bao'er knew Gu Sheng's plan, and she was also very supportive.

Bu Shuai listened to the scenery, but there was too much privacy in this position.

When the power is in hand, it is fine, but once the authority is removed, those who dared to be angry and dare not speak out in the past are pondering and falling into the well.

Yuan Baoer and Gu Sheng have also experienced a lot, and they have long seen through fame, fortune and power, and they have long stopped caring about these.

The reason why he stayed was nothing more than the friendship of the first emperor and Gu Sheng's admiration for someone who thought he was an uncle and aunt, but was actually his biological parents.

He didn't want them to have the slightest problem with the kingdom that they had spent their lives building, so he tried his best to assist Brother Yuan, hoping that he could become a Ming monarch and make Great Xia more powerful and brilliant.

Of course, Gu Sheng is also very reluctant to leave Bu Yiwei, who has lived and worked for several years.

Yuan Bao'er saw that he had a sentimental face, and hurriedly took half a step forward.

Gu Sheng knew her intentions, and smiled lightly and hugged her slender waist.

I was a little surprised, "You've lost weight." ”

"You just know," Yuan Bao'er rolled her eyes.

Recently, she has been busy with these big and small things, and sometimes she can't even eat normally, so it's strange if she doesn't lose weight.

Gu Sheng smirked twice and gaged, "How is the right minister's investigation?" ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head, her face showing some irritability.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, "Otherwise, I'll send two good hands in to take a look?" ”

Yuan Bao'er was taken aback and hurriedly shook her head, "If you are caught, the right minister will definitely not give up." ”

"It's okay not to be caught," Gu Sheng was very unimpressed.

Yuan Bao'er thought about it, but still shook her head.

"The right side attaches great importance to the mansion, the inner and outer houses are on duty, I think there must be something that cannot be said to others, we are not very familiar with there, and we are rash to send people in, it is very likely to startle the snake."

Gu Sheng smiled lowly when he saw her thoughtful appearance.

Although he knew that she didn't want others to suffer for no reason, he just felt intimate and warm.

How fortunate he is to find such a kind lady.

Yuan Bao'er was smiling at him, the two have been married for many years, and they can't be said to know each other well, and they are also inseparable, how can they not understand that Gu Sheng actually saw through himself.

But he deliberately didn't say anything, and pushed the boat along the water, which made her very ironed.

The two leaned on for a while, Yuan Bao'er looked outside, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her coming, "Your son will call A-Niang." ”

Gu Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and took him to the small remote area where his son lived.

The nurse was putting the curtain down, and when she saw Gu Sheng coming, she was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head and shrunk her shoulders to hide aside.

Gu Sheng didn't care about this, he was afraid that there would be more people in him, and he would not be a nurse.

Yuan Bao'er was a little unhappy, and when Gu Sheng went in, she said, "What are you doing?" ”

The nurse raised her head tremblingly, and when she saw that Gu Sheng didn't look at it, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "The little one doesn't know what's going on, as soon as he sees the adult, he will", she muttered, and couldn't say why for a long time.

There was a cry from inside, and the nurse was shocked, and almost immediately rushed to the inside, past Gu Sheng and picked up the child.

Gu Sheng was stupid, seeing the nurse holding the baby, tossing and turning, coaxing softly, and was at a loss for a while.

Yuan Bao'er went over and pushed him, "What are you provoking him to do?" ”

Gu Sheng was innocent, "I just stood." ”

I didn't even pull the curtain with my hand.

At this point, the baby has turned from crying to sobbing.

I saw him leaning on the nurse's shoulder, his little hand pulling the breast's breast, tilting his head to look at Gu Sheng who was standing with Yuan Bao'er.

The longer his son's eyes go, the more they look like Yuan Bao'er, big, black, the whites of his eyes and the kernel of his eyes are really black and white.

Yuan Bao'er saw that he was so well-behaved, so she stretched out her hand and wanted to take it.

The nurse hesitated, looked down, tried her skills, and saw that the baby was not crying, so she handed it over.

Yuan Bao'er hugged it, but it was far closer than the nurse holding Gu Sheng, and the baby immediately pouted, glaring at Gu Sheng with grievance and disgust.

Yuan Baoer gently coaxed her son and told him that this was his father, and asked him to call.

Gu Sheng looked at it coldly, and when he saw that his son's mouth was fixed with a wedge, he was not happy.

But his son is still young, even if he is angry, he can't go out of him, so he has to snort and turn his head out.

Yuan Bao'er coaxed her son for a while, and when he was a little sleepy, she asked the nurse to pat him to sleep and went to find Gu Sheng herself.

Gu Sheng had already gone back to the main courtyard at this time.

In the evening, he sat under the trellis in the courtyard and drank tea.

The weather is already a little cold at this time, not to mention at night, even during the day when you sit outside on a stone bench.

Seeing him puffing out his cheeks and sitting there drinking tea, Yuan Bao'er smiled.

"Really, you're a child too," she said, and she sat down.

Gu Sheng took a sip of tea and said sullenly: "That little cub is too timid, not like me." ”

Yuan Bao'er snorted, "Not like you, like who?" ”

"Me?"

Gu Sheng looked at her fixedly, and it was right that his eyes were shining.

Gu Sheng has always been old, even if it is a joke, he has the dignity and calmness of a noble son of a family, and it is really rare to see such a trick.

Yuan Baoer found him more and more interesting.

Gu Sheng's face was a little hot when she saw it, and he turned his head slightly, wanting to dodge.

Yuan Bao'er was just looking at him casually, but when she saw him like this, she smiled secretly in her heart, and looked at him more and more funny.

Now Gu Sheng couldn't bear it.

He turned to the side, dodged, and feigned busyness to get the book that was placed in the corner of the table.

"If you have something to do, go and get busy."

Yuan Bao'er glanced at the book that was obviously reversed, pursed her mouth vigorously, and nodded solemnly.

When she went out, she chuckled.

She thought that Gu Sheng hadn't heard, but she underestimated Gu Sheng's ear power.

Listening to his wife's happy laughter, Gu Sheng's face turned a little red.

He pinched the scroll hard, stared at the black words on it, his heart was full of chagrin, and he made up his mind not to do it again next time.

However, this determination had already vanished when he saw Yuan Bao'er, who had changed into new clothes and was dressed very charmingly, at night.

One night was enough time to digest all the negative emotions, and early in the morning, Gu Sheng sent Yuan Bao'er to the government office full of energy, and then went to duty.

Yuan Baoer rubbed her sore waist and sat on pins and needles in her seat.

After a while, she couldn't bear it, so she went to the craftsman's side.

The craftsman was in full swing, and when he saw her coming, he just nodded his head and said hello.

Yuan Baoer has no official status, and she is not angry when she is treated like this, and she greets them happily.

After a few craftsmen, she went to the corner, where a short, thin, little man was quietly cutting wood.

Yuan Bao'er dragged a small pestle over and sat down, watching him carve slender wooden sticks into wedges with strange patterns.

"What is this?"

She was curious.

The man glanced at Yuan Bao'er very quickly, and lowered his head again, "It's the wedge of the crossbow machine to control the arrow." ”

His voice was so low that it was not much different from that of a mosquito, and he couldn't hear it unless he was careful.

However, Yuan Bao'er was very accustomed to him like this, and when she heard this, she took it over and looked at it carefully, and put it on the side of her arm to compare the length.

"Is it the siege crossbow from before?"

The man nodded, and seeing that Yuan Bao'er was very interested, he took a wooden stick that only marked the scale and carved lines and handed it to Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and the man laughed a little, "You try?" ”

"I can't do it," Yuan Bao'er knew her strength, and when she slashed down, the stick was cut in half.

The man didn't say anything, just held a stick and waited.

Yuan Bao'er couldn't, took it with a smile, and as soon as she tried, she broke off without accident.

"I can't say it, can I?"

The lines drawn on the sticks are very clear, and you can succeed by carving them along the lines.

Yuan Bao'er didn't succeed in this way, which shows how stupid his hands are.

But the man has a lot of confidence in her, even if she cuts it off, he still persistently hands it over.

Yuan Bao'er was a little helpless and waved her hand.

With such cumbersome lines, just thinking about it, you know how much work it will take, and Yuan Baoer doesn't want to waste his efforts.

The man insisted on handing it over, but Yuan Bao'er didn't want to feel uncomfortable because of this, so he smiled and retreated.

Out of the courtyard, she thought for a while, and still went to find Wei Tang.

Wei Tang was about to go out, and he was a little surprised to see her coming.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Yuan Baoer smiled.

Wei Tang hurriedly shook his head, let her into the house, served tea, and said, "You are here because of the right minister, right?" ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded.

Gu Sheng's heart to leave was already very urgent, Brother Yuan grew up day by day, the emperor's prestige became more and more sufficient, and his suspicion as an emperor became more and more serious.

Yuan Baoer wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two sides were still friendly and retreated, which was good for both parties.

But if you want to leave, you must first half-open the two mountains and let the emperor stretch his hands and feet, which is also a gift before parting, and it is also a letter of resignation.

After all, the left and right ministers have a lot of power in the court, even if the two of them arrive, many people under the door will stay in the court, Yuan Bao'er and Gu Sheng leave, they are just an empty marquis with a false name, and they still need to rely on the emperor to take care of them.

The Emperor also needed both of them to deter courtiers who were not yet fully loyal.

Of course, these are all calculations in their hearts, and they are things that both parties know, but to others, Yuan Baoer will not mention half a word.

Even Wei Tang didn't know about it.

However, seeing the vinegar-like Gu Sheng with her own eyes, Yuan Bao'er can still come to find herself, which shows how resolute she is in wanting to clean up the right minister.

He will not refuse her request as long as it is within his ability.

"Yesterday I went to visit that person again, and he told me that he once saw a figure, which seemed to be Zuo Xiangcheng, the squire of the military department."

Yuan Bao'er's expression moved slightly, "The right minister doesn't care about the military department." ”

Wei Tang nodded.

The lieutenant didn't want to say it, but after three rounds of drinking, because he was from the military department, he mentioned it and asked him to be more careful.

"What did he do with the military department?"

Yuan Baoer was thoughtful.

The military department is the sphere of influence of the left minister, and the secretary of the military department and the left minister are in-laws, and they have been in close contact with each other over the years.

Wei Tang shook his head, "Maybe there is something to do?" ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, although it was not an obvious clue, but it was better than nothing.

"Thank you, I'll go back and check it out."

Yuan Bao'er stood up.

Wei Tang sent her out, didn't hold back, and complained in a low voice: "It's rare for you to come here, and it's too ruthless to leave when you achieve your goal." ”

Yuan Bao'er sneered, "What's wrong with you, suddenly the little daughter is in a state of flux, do you want to scare me into daring to come or what?" ”

Wei Tang was stunned, and turned his head back angrily.
