Chapter 218: Think for yourself

Lixia whispered, "Say this kind of thing again! I have never told you, such words must not come from your mouth, be careful that the wall has ears, in case the night is small. ”

Emperor Ze hurriedly laughed, hugged her and coaxed: "Don't worry, lady, I forgot about it for a while." ”

Li Xia glanced at him and whispered softly: "I tell you, you can't say such things in front of my brother." ”

Emperor Ze was stunned and looked at her in amazement, Li Xia sighed, and said softly: "It's good if you remember my words, I can't tell what I think in my heart, it's just ...... You are my husband, and you are more important to me than anyone else. ”

Zedi smiled and hugged her tightly, and said softly, "I wrote it down." ”

At the beginning of the month of Gui, Gu Du returned to Kangzhan Mountain, this time for seven months, although he had not landed on the shore, he had also seen some scenery, and he had also encountered ships at sea.

The family got together and listened to Dongfang Xia Lan talk about what they had seen and heard, and they all listened to it with relish.

After listening for a while, Dongfang Xinghao glanced at Gu Du, then got up and went out, Gu Du got up silently and followed.

Sitting down in the flower hall, Dongfang Xinghao said: "Your third brother came to write a letter two days ago, he counted the time, and felt that you should also come back......

As he spoke, Dongfang Xinghao took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Du, and then said, "You can take a look first, and we'll talk about it after reading it." ”

Gu Du read the letter and asked, "What is Dad worried about?" ”

Dongfang Xinghao replied: "I'm worried that if the water is full, it will overflow, and the moon will be full, you killed He Xu Zhuo Manmen a few years ago, and now because of you, the people in the court are panicked, even if you have the power to conquer the world, you are not the emperor after all, the merit is high, and the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages." ”

Gu Du asked, "What does my father mean by letting me resign?" ”

Dongfang Xinghao replied: "I'm not old and confused, the love you owe to Lixia hasn't been repaid, and Jin Lan's revenge hasn't been avenged, how can I persuade you to resign?" I just want to remind you, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will urge it, don't be too outstanding, leave some room for others, this world is crowded, not only you are a talent. ”

Gu Du frowned and pondered, and said after a while: "Dad taught me." ”

Dongfang Xinghao said: "You are different from Chu Qin, Chu Qin is from a famous family, and you are from a poor family. Chu Qin has been a hairpin for generations, but you are a rebel. Chu Qin was forced by you to rise step by step, and you dominated the dynasty for your own selfish desires. ”

"Since you arrived in Zeguo, you have made meritorious contributions in battle, and then you have taken over the military power, but you are under the control of the Imperial Spirit Division, and your authority is not clear, but you only cover the sky with one hand......"

Dongfang Xinghao paused, seemed to think about it for a while, and then continued: "Women are like water, what kind of vessel is in it, it is what it looks like, Lixia has been the queen for several years, and the prince has given birth to two, even if you are her brother, you will no longer be as affectionate as before." ”

Gu Du said: "I know that this time I handed back the military power in advance, just to avoid the risk of forcing the palace. ”

Dongfang Xinghao asked, "Did it work?" ”

Gu Du frowned, he returned the military power, but instead of achieving the expected effect, it caused Emperor Ze to make Qiao Zheng abdicate and make way for Xian, and he also ordered Jue Lingmen to protect Concubine Xue's family, putting on a posture of wanting to purge Qiao Zheng and his party.

Zedi is so partial to him, what will others think? Lixia is a smart person, and he wanted to warn Gu Du several times at the beginning that he should not be too arrogant in life and work, but this time he became obedient to the wind and rain, why is this?

Combined with Dongfang Xinghao's words just now, it can only prove that Lixia is also afraid of Gu Du's resentment, and with this fear, the two are separated, and Lixia is no longer the junior sister who stuck to him at the beginning, but the summer queen of Zeguo.

As the queen of Xia, it is natural to plan for Zeguo and retain talents for Zeguo, and Zeguo can't do without him, so Emperor Ze and Empress Xia don't care about the slander of their ministers, they just want to make him Gu Du satisfied.

Dongfang Xinghao changed the subject: "Zhuqing Hanyu has been found." ”

Gu Du was stunned, and Dongfang Xinghao asked, "Do you still want to give it to Zeguo?" ”

Gu Du was a little dazed, and Dongfang Xinghao said again: "Without the Jade Dragon Bi, you would also be at a loss for the Spirit Kingdom, if it weren't for Mo Xuan's sudden immortal death, I wouldn't be able to see that in five years, you would definitely be able to cleanse the southern realm." ”

Gu Du was silent, Dongfang Xinghao stood up, patted Gu Du's shoulder, and said, "Don't just think about avenging Jin Lan, but also think more about Xia Lan, the cunning rabbit three holes, people have to leave a way back for themselves." ”

Back in the room, Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "What did Dad call you?" ”

Gu Du handed the letter to Dongfang Xia Lan, Dongfang Xia Lan frowned after reading it, and pondered for a while before saying, "Husband, I'm not sure in my heart, what did my father tell you?" ”

Gu Du replied: "Dad told me that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan frowned, this is not nonsense, waiting for him to say it again, but Gu Du was speechless.

Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "That's it?" ”

Gu Du sighed and replied, "I have said a lot of things, I haven't thought through it for a while, I'll talk to you when I think it through." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan was silent for a while, and said, "Husband, I have something I want to say to you...... Even if I'm not right, don't be angry, okay? ”

Gu Du looked at her and said, "Why do you need to be so foreign with me? You're talking about Rexia, right? ”

Dongfang Xia Lan frowned slightly, and Gu Du said: "You have always said something to say, and if you twist it like this today, you must say Lixia, except for her, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who you don't dare to say directly." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan smiled lightly and said: "She can't do this well, Qiao Zheng is an old minister of the Three Dynasties after all, and if she does this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the ministers." ”

Gu Du nodded and said, "They are afraid that I will be resentful, Zeguo can't live without me, as long as I can be satisfied and smooth, they can ignore what thousands of people point out." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan frowned and looked at him, and said after a while: "But Qiao Zheng is different from He Xuzhuo, I am afraid that in the end, the person who will be pointed out by Qianfu is you." ”

Gu Du smiled dumbly, stretched out his arms and said, "Come, sit in my arms." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, walked over and sat in his arms, put her arms around his neck, looked into his eyes and said: "That's it, let's take it as the love of the summer queen, after paying off her love, it will be a big deal to retire in the future, we will live in seclusion and be happy." ”

Gu Du raised his hand and tapped the tip of her nose and said, "It won't be that bad." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan pouted and said: "Anyway, you don't have to worry about me, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I only feel novelty in the world, and I have no attachment, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to suffer any grievances." ”

Gu Du smiled happily, pecked her lightly on the lips, and responded, "Got it." ”
