Chapter 6 The Restoration Plan
After Yu Gu was brought into the side hall, the little public bus went down after a few words. Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar palace, only three years, the layout of this side hall has changed greatly, Yu Gu said to himself, "I haven't come back for three years, this is all the old look new, I really don't consider my feelings, this old man doesn't know what to think in his head all day long, there is such a man like me, both civil and military, wise and brave, I don't know how to cherish it, but I am very close to those ordinary people, and the people's hearts are not ancient." β
As he spoke, he had already walked through the side halls, and the general corridor was already clear. Over the years, Hong Wuye has invited no less than 100 teachers to Yu Gu, and there are all kinds of goods, from the talented martial arts master to the oily and slippery charlatan, these people are all equipped with unique skills, and the skills they learn are called a mess, although Yu Gu has suffered a lot in the past three years, but it can be regarded as a success.
Find useful information in an unfamiliar environment, including vases, tables and chairs, tile wall cracks, various exit holes, and take a look at the scenery and birds and animals along the way. These had become a form of Linger's professional ethic as an Assassin.
After finding out the side hall, he quietly entered the lobby of the main hall of the meditation hall through the secret door, which is the place where the civil and military officials face the saints to discuss state affairs. Yu Gu turned around and didn't find anyone, and after finding out everything here, he began to wander around the lobby.
"It is said that it is a closed palace, but it is only the father and the emperor who should close the palace in the world, it is not only the father and the emperor who should close the palace the most, this civil and military officials should also be allowed to retreat and practice from time to time, this national major event is not good for the father and the emperor alone, look at the big bellies of those civil and military officials, and see that they do not pay attention to self-cultivation on weekdays, this kind of person should be the most closed." Yu Gu said to himself, and after a while, he came to the dragon chair.
"The first time I looked at this dragon chair so closely, it was just a chair inlaid with gold and jade gems, and the width and length were larger than the bed. It's not the dragon chair that's really terrifying, it's the supreme power it symbolizes that makes people feel awe. Yu Gu sighed while stroking the dragon chair, as if there was a kind of magic, so that Yu Gu didn't even notice that the emperor and Gonggong Hong were standing under the main hall.
In the end, it was Gonggong Hong who coughed, pulled Yu Gu's thoughts back, looked at his father and Gonggong Hong under the main hall, Yu Gu smiled slightly embarrassed, ran down as soon as he slipped through the smoke, looked at Gonggong Hong with a smile, and saw the four words "big things are not good" from Gonggong Hong's face, but Yu Gu already had a plan in his heart to deal with it.
Before Yu Gu could speak, the emperor was stunned and asked, "You two are conspiring to usurp the throne." As he spoke, he went to the council platform, and his father who was sitting on the dragon chair became more majestic, and Yu Gu looked at this father who had not seen him for three years and was still in good spirits, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. When I think about it, whoever sits in that position will naturally make people look up to the top and not be afraid.
However, Gonggong Hong did not have such a mental awareness, and the person in his position could not afford this kind of nameless crime that flew in, so he knelt down and begged for mercy, "The emperor is wronged, you also know my loyalty to the emperor and Yucheng, the servants have worked hard for you for ten years to take care of the country, and there is no second heart, I hope you will see it." β
The emperor must have heard too much of this set of clichΓ©s, waved his hand and said impatiently, "You go down first, and I will settle accounts with you later." β
Seeing that Gonggong Hong was gone, Yu Gu began to be presumptuous, and said with a hippie smile, "Father, aren't you closed in the palace, should you stay in the study for a month?" Could it be that we two have a good heart, you know that I am here, so you came to me? β
The emperor looked at Yu Gu's shameless face, and said with a straight face, "You almost sat in my position just now, according to the jade rules of Jade City, I can beat you into the dungeon and separate your body and head." β
Yu Gu was naturally not intimidated when he heard these words, but instead sat on the floor of the main hall and said slowly, "Father, do you know what these concubines, princes, and officials of the Manchu Dynasty in your palace are best at?" What they are best at is all kinds of loyalty, dedication, spit lotus flowers in their mouths, but their hearts are honey swords, do you like this type of "loyal minister"? After speaking, Yu Gu raised his head and looked at his father, Yu Gu had already put away the hanging child just now, and he looked serious.
"In my eyes, you're just like that, just like those people. The way of being a ruler and a minister is the homework of you people, and I can't discuss it, so you won't come here to teach me how to manage your courtiers. If there is nothing else, you can step down, thinking that you are about to go on an expedition, and I will not hold you responsible. "Putting on a show of mercy in the world makes people look very uncomfortable.
Looking at the father and emperor in front of him, he didn't have the warmth of any family affection for him, and some were just the official posture of getting along with the monarch and the minister, which made Yu Gu feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, he immediately changed his way of speaking, if it was a king and a minister, then things would be much simpler.
"Father, the son has a matter, I need to ask my godfather, and I am willing to ask my father to say it clearly. What is the main purpose of Erchen's mission to the southern capital? Yu Gu has thousands of questions in his heart, but at the moment he only wants to ask this one, he wants to know how important his chess piece is at the national level, he has to know in his heart, he doesn't like to be a floating object without a goal.
"Didn't I ask Gonggong Hong to pass on all the words to you, let you marry a wife and have children, and establish a bond for the friendly relations between the two countries." The emperor said lightly.
"But there are more than that, saying that Father, you must have a lot of considerations to take this step, is it possible that you want me to enter the Southern Capital as an assassin and an undercover agent, and when our Jade City will one day fight back, the inside and the outside should be combined to determine the world in one fell swoop?" Yu Gu revealed everything in his heart, just to be able to set out his father's true thoughts, although this time to meet his father, he may not get the answer he wants, but it is not worth trying to get the truth to the greatest extent.
"Most of the rumors are speculation and suspicion, there is no basis, you won't even believe this, then you will really be my son in vain." The emperor said that the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and said contemptuously.
"I will judge whether it is true or false, but outsiders will not make trouble out of nowhere. I also want to ask you one more thing, and if you don't want to answer, I won't force it. My mother, is she in Nandu now? He finally asked, and it had been bothering him for so many years.
Emperor Yu did not speak, but walked down from the dragon chair, he stopped in front of a red-lacquered log on the top of the roof, Yu Gu approached the log, and following Emperor Yu's perspective, he saw a deep dent on it.
"Back then, I was not the emperor, and your mother was not the wife I was marrying, we just secretly fell in love, and finally stole the forbidden fruit and gave birth to you. But your mother, who is bent on going to Nandu, can abandon her child who has just given birth to a few months old. Emperor Yu sighed uncontrollably.
"My mother must have some kind of trouble." Yu Gu didn't believe that his mother would be so ruthless.
Emperor Yu ignored Yu Gu's question and continued to immerse himself in his memories, "That day, it was pouring rain, I was in this hall with her, I was holding you a month old, desperately trying to keep her, but she insisted on leaving, and even pulled out her sword to threaten me, if it weren't for this pillar blocking ......"
"Father, can you tell me what her name is?" Yu Gu still didn't give up, he made up his mind that he must find her!
Emperor Yu looked at his son, as if he saw himself back then, patted Yu Gu's shoulder and said, "Dance Nian".
Yu Gu thought that Emperor Yu was fooling him, and immediately said, "Don't read it? She's my mother, how can I not think about her? β
Knowing that Yu Gu understood the wrong meaning, Emperor Yu was not busy correcting it, slowly walked up to the director's platform, picked up a mirror on the stage, threw it at Yu Gu's feet, and said, "A broken mirror cannot be reunited." Go to Nandu this time, take care of yourself! β
Yu Gu looked at the broken mirror on the ground, scattered and scattered, like his own heart, broken as if he could no longer pick it up.
"Don't worry, your son is not a skilled man, but he is not an easy master to deal with. This time, even if it is for the sake of returning to China, I will definitely perform well. Yu Gu said with an oath.
"Don't forget, the purpose of your visit this time is to be close! You don't have to worry about the rest. It is estimated that the gifts and tokens of love have arrived in Nandu, I hope Princess Qingyu can like it. Emperor Yu said.
Yu Gudu almost forgot about it, and said with a wry smile, "It won't be jade again, it's so cheesy, it's strange that people will like it." β
"If the gift I gave is good, how can it show that you are good." Emperor Yu said with a sneer.
"Father, if I can let Nandu be defeated under the Jade City, can you let me sit on this dragon chair?" Yu Gu was also taken aback by himself after saying this, but he didn't regret it, he was confident enough in himself.
Emperor Yu was shocked by this sentence, and his body, which was already about to leave, was stunned, and the two of them stood like this, the sunset was already falling at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the hall, infusing this chaotic atmosphere with several different colors.
"If you have the ability, then do it for me to see, and do it for the world." After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, "After the retainers leave, you have to take care of the dragon body", hearing Yu Gu's words, Emperor Yu paused for a second, and then disappeared into the sunset afterglow of the main hall. Leaving Yu Gu alone in the same place, leaving this empty hall, even the sound of breathing can be heard.
