Is he only twelve years old?

The young Emperor Wei stood beside Concubine De and looked at the young man who stood out from the palace examination. He is about the same age as himself, but he is a little less childish and a little more mature and sophisticated.

In a trance, he heard his father coughing lightly while talking to his mother: "This child's surname is Gu, although he is still young, but in time, he will definitely be the pillar of my Great Wei Dynasty." I thought about it, so I asked him to stay with the eleventh emperor for the time being, to be a companion, and when the emperor became an adult, he could also become the emperor's right-hand man. ”

"What the emperor said is that this tiger father has no dogs, and the children of the Gu family are excellent." Concubine De echoed softly, and the corner of her eyes lingered on the child for a moment, and then fell on the eleventh prince standing in front of her: "Emperor, what are you still doing in a daze." ”

"The Queen Mother—"

"You remember, his name is Gu Yanqing, and he was the companion chosen by your father for you. Although he is a companion, he is different from those who have been with you before, you need to regard him as a confidant and brother, you need to be of the same heart and mind with him, and you need to trust him at all times, so as not to disappoint your father's hard work for you. ”

"Yes!" The young Emperor Wei came down from the steps and walked to Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing raised her head and bumped into a smile, which seemed to be a little familiar. He frowned slightly, looked at those smiling eyes, and asked, "You are the eleventh prince who has never shown anyone?" ”

"I'm not a treasure hidden in the treasury." The young Emperor Wei still smiled: "You, are you from the Gu family?" Did you really write the article? Did you really take the exam like them and get a first-class tanhua with your own strength? ”

"Yes!" Gu Yanqing tapped his chin: "I originally wanted to be the prime minister, but looking at the emperor's meaning, it seems that I am a little young." ”

"Father doesn't dislike you, he just thinks it's not time." The young Emperor Wei took another step forward: "You will be the prime minister, believe me." ”

"It's you who dragged me down." Gu Yanqing glanced at the young Emperor Wei: "The emperor asked me to be your companion, not because I am too strong, but because you are too weak." ”

"Does that make a difference?" The young Emperor Wei blinked his eyes: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, you were given to me by my father as a companion, and from now on, you will be responsible for my homework." ”

Gu Yanqing glanced at the young Emperor Wei in disgust and didn't speak again.

Three years later, when the rain was pouring down, a dark cyan carriage drove out of Yecheng.

Inside the carriage, a sleeping teenager lay with a broken feathered arrow stuck in his left shoulder. The bumpy distance didn't seem to alarm him, and the other teenager in the car, dressed in black, had a pair of good-looking sword eyebrows tightly clustered.

"Yunfei, hurry!"

"Master, is he okay with the eleventh prince?"

"He's fine, he's going to be fine." The black-clothed young man took off the masked black scarf on his face and held the sleeping young man's hand hard: "You stupid, you said you wouldn't come, why are you so disobedient." Let's see, if you're getting me involved again. ”

The sleeping young man moved his eyelashes and lifted his eyelids: "Gu Yanqing, can't you speak better?" ”

"Awake? If you don't wake up, I'll throw you out of the wagon. ”

"You can't bear it, we are best friends and best brothers." He chuckled, his dark eyes looked particularly striking on his face that had turned pale due to blood loss: "Gu Yanqing, you accept your fate, you will have to be affected by me for the rest of your life." ”

"I, Gu Yanqing, never accept fate." Lifted the fallen Dayu up: "The feather arrow is poisonous, you'd better not speak, maintain your strength, I'll take you to the doctor now." ”

"Gu Yanqing, you are reluctant to let me die, are you?"

"Don't be sentimental, it's not that I can't bear to let you die, but that Great Wei can't live without the emperor."

"You know in your heart that I am not the best candidate for the throne." The young man's dark eyes darkened: "If you want to, this Great Wei country, you can also be surnamed Gu." ”

"I'm not interested in being an emperor." Gu Yanqing lifted the big hat and put it on the young man's face: "You be quiet, you will be there soon." ”

Under the black coat, the young man gently hooked the corners of his lips: "Gu Yanqing, what I said is true." Three years ago, when you first became my companion, you asked me if I wanted to be an emperor. At that time, let alone being an emperor, I didn't even think about it, and I didn't dare to think about it. I'm ranked eleven, and there are five royal brothers on it, and each of them is a very capable person. ”

"So what?"

"The second emperor brother is good at socializing with people, and when his father was seriously ill, he had already enveloped most of the important ministers in the court."

"Brother Sanhuang, although he is like me, his biological mother died early, and among the many princes, he is also a low-key person, but the power of his rented family should not be underestimated."

"Fifth Emperor Brother, he holds the power of the army, and even your maternal grandfather, General Gu, has praised him. If he wants the throne, it will be easy. ”

"There are also Seven Emperor Brothers and Nine Emperor Brothers, they also have outstanding points, only me, the young man is weak, helpless, and even his qualifications are dull. Yan Qing, can you tell me, at that time, why did you ask me if I wanted to become the future monarch of Great Wei, and if I wanted to be the emperor. ”

"It's not me, it's my grandfather and my father." Gu Yanqing lifted the curtain and let the cold wind outside blow in a little: "The second prince is indeed good at communicating, but his mind is all used to form a party and run a private business, such a person, even if he is a king, is not a Ming Jun." The third prince did act in a low-key manner, but that was only limited to the palace, in the court, he was ruthless in private, and secretly killed those who did not support him. If you act like this, you can't become a wise man. The fifth prince was indeed deeply praised by my maternal grandfather, and he may be a general, but not necessarily a king. As for the Seven Princes and the Nine Princes, one is cowardly by nature and has no opinions, even if he is on the throne, he will be interfered with by his relatives, and the other is obsessed with women, misleading people and the country, and embarrassment. It's not that I want to choose you, it's not that my grandfather and father want to choose you, it's that we don't have a choice. ”

"So, I'm the one who didn't have a choice?" The boy pulled the big down, revealing half of his face.

"You lost your mother since you were a child, and you were handed over by the emperor to be raised by Concubine De. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you will be able to think about it. ”

"Then you enter the palace to read to me as a companion......"

"That's what you mean." Gu Yanqing tore away the big gun and looked at the injury on his arm: "Shut up, rest, if you don't shut up, your family's country will really change its surname." ”

The young man looked at Gu Yanqing and smiled.

At the age of fourteen, Gu Yanqing killed for him for the first time, and it was his second emperor brother who was good at scheming and scheming.

At the age of fifteen, Gu Yanqing went into battle for the first time, and fought for three days and three nights with his five emperor brothers, who were very good at the art of war.

At the age of sixteen, Gu Yanqing designed to let the Seven Emperor Brothers and the Nine Emperor Brothers fight each other, so that he can sit firmly in the imperial city and benefit from the fisherman.

At the age of seventeen, the country was initially decided, and those imperial brothers who could compete with him for power died, wounded and wounded, and one was demoted to the rank of commoner. He can finally be his young son of heaven with peace of mind, but the government is corrupt, the internal worries are unresolved, and the external enemy is around. It was still him Gu Yanqing, who dressed him in battle again and again, and led the troops for him again and again.

originally thought that they would become brothers of the opposite sex for life, but as Gu Changfeng's reputation among the people became higher and higher, and his popularity in the court became more and more popular, he gradually found that between him and him, he could only become a monarch and a minister. He knew that Gu Yanqing had no second thoughts about him, but as an emperor, he gradually developed some distrust of him.

He knows that he is not good, he knows that he is wrong, but as an emperor, he will probably become suspicious, suspicious, and annoying himself.

……

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu has given birth." The chief eunuch bowed down and handed the fold to the emperor.

"Raw? Is it a son or a daughter? ”

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu gave birth to a son this time."

"It's still a son, then Gu Xiang is afraid that he will be disappointed this time." Emperor Wei casually flipped through the fold: "This child, can you take a name?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it should not have been taken yet. Hearing from the people who came back, Mrs. Gu seemed to be a little unhappy, complaining that Xiangye would only let her give birth to a son. He also said the name, and waited for the child to get up again when he was full moon. ”

"Say, how about I give this child a name?"

"The emperor's name is a great thing, and it is a blessing for the child." The chief eunuch handed over a pen and paper: "Does the emperor want to announce that Gu Xiang will return to Beijing?" ”

"Is there anything in Beijing that needs to be dealt with by Gu Xiang?"

"Not yet." The chief eunuch stepped aside: "Those people recommended by Gu Xiang are all outstanding, whether it is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Soldiers or the Ministry of Households, they all operate in an orderly manner, even if there is an occasional small accident, it can be solved quickly." Thanks to the emperor's blessing, now our Dawei can be regarded as a real country and people, happy and healthy. ”

"That being the case, then there is no need to rush to summon Gu Xiang back." Emperor Wei put down his pen: "When Gu Xianglin left, he told me that if there is nothing wrong in this capital, don't make trouble for him." He just wants to live a peaceful life with his wife and children. He was idle, clean, but I don't know how much trouble I had helped him with. This court cannot be without a king for a day, and how can it be without a face for a day. ”

"Didn't Prime Minister Gu recommend a Zuo Prime Minister to the emperor?"

"Prime Minister Zuo? It's up to him Gu Yanqing to think about it. Seeing that I would not let him go, he deliberately wanted to come up with a left and right prime minister, so that I could divert my attention from him. The beauty he thinks of, as long as I am still the emperor of Great Wei one day, he Gu Yanqing will always be my prime minister. ”

"The relationship between the emperor and Gu Xiang is really good." The chief eunuch said, and added: "The slave is talking about the love of the monarch and the minister." ”

"Is there only the love of a monarch and a minister?" Emperor Wei sighed: "Between me and Gu Xiang, can it only be the love of a monarch and a minister?" Go, pass on my will, and remove all those who stayed in Yanjiazhuang. Also, from now on, there is no need to pay attention to Gu Xiang and the Yan family's every move. ”

"Your Majesty, you are—"

"Gu believes that I can trust me, how can I not trust Gu Xiang. Although I and him are kings and ministers, we start as brothers. Emperor Wei folded the written name in half and handed it to the chief eunuch: "As a monarch, you can't break the heart of a loyal minister, and if you're a brother, you can't hurt your brother's heart." My heart is the same, and I will not change it since. ”
