Chapter 155: Guest
Gu Du's eyes shot a wolf-like fierce light, and Li Xia said: "Don't worry about it first, this matter is kept secret in the palace, Dongfang doesn't know that it is a royal family, but it doesn't know much about it, and the emperor doesn't know the inside story about this matter, I just think it's strange, why Xia Lan looks like Jin Lan, so I tried to ask." ”
Gu Du closed his eyes, slowed down for a while before opening them again, the fierce light faded, and asked softly, "What is the purpose of you telling me about Jin Lan's life experience?" ”
Li Xia replied softly: "Xia Lan is different from Jin Lan, Jin Lan is an orphan, and she climbs high with you, while Xia Lan is different, she is not only the young master of Juelingmen, but also the lord of Zeguo, I am afraid that you will fall into majesty and be controlled by others." ”
"I wanted to ask the emperor to posthumously confer the title of Jin Lan, but I felt that it was too obvious to do it at this time, so I asked, I didn't want the result to be so appalling, whether Jin Lan was a princess or not, at least her background was not lowly, you don't look down on her, let alone look down on yourself."
Gu Du sighed deeply and asked softly, "Have you told the emperor?" ”
Li Xia replied: "I said, the emperor wanted to posthumously recognize Jin Lan as the princess of Xiaoguo, but I stopped him, I think you should be allowed to marry first, and after you get married, then find out this matter to correct Jin Lan's name, so as not to make Juelingmen suspicious." ”
Gu Du sighed and said softly: "It's so troublesome to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Li Xia said softly: "This time is different from the past, brother, you don't have to hold a grudge against the first emperor, Jin Lan may have been born in response to the catastrophe, if it weren't for this situation, how could she know you?" ”
Gu Du sighed and nodded.
After tossing for more than two months, Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan became married, and after three days of warmth, they hurried back to Tiger Roaring Mountain, Feng Jiu and the others were already ready to stop, and held a wedding banquet for the two.
One morning, Emperor Ze issued an edict posthumously crowning Jin Lan as the princess of filial piety, and summoned Gu Du and Dongfang Xia Lan to return to China, and moved Jin Lan's bones into the imperial mausoleum for burial.
Dongfang Xia Lan didn't say it, but she was obviously unhappy, the newlywed Yan'er, the quilt was not hot, and the light was tossed on the road, what is this called? And if you want to chase the seal, you won't say it early, you will wait in the imperial city if you say it earlier, why bother tossing a round trip.
Gu Du coaxed and served for more than an hour, so that Dongfang Xia Lan was relieved, and he returned to Zeguo early in the morning.
Uncle Guo's mansion has been completed, and when he came back this time, Gu Du took Dongfang Xia Lan to live in, and all the guards were appointed by the palace.
After moving the tomb, Dongfang Bin came to the uncle's mansion as a guest, Gu Duzhi set up a family banquet in the flower hall of the back house, and after the three of them sat down, they gossiped a few words, Gu Du asked in a low voice: "Third brother, you have something to say, right?" ”
Dongfang Xia Lan asked Gu Du: "How do you see it?" ”
Dongfang Bin also smiled and asked, "Yes, how do you see it?" Do I have any signs that something is wrong? ”
Gu Du replied: "No, but when I came back this time, Lixia actually said that he was unwell, he didn't see me, in the entire imperial city, only we are relatives, if Lixia has something, it is natural for you to come and tell me that it is safest, besides, you don't come early, but things are done neatly, I want to come before I leave, I must be afraid that I will lose my temper after hearing something, and I will cause trouble again." ”
Dongfang Bin smiled, looked at Dongfang Xia Lan and said, "You are really not the smartest in the family. ”
"Go!" Dongfang Xia Lan rolled her eyes.
Gu Du said: "I set up a banquet in the flower hall, but also for the convenience of speaking, this place is open, and it is clear at a glance within a few zhang, so you don't have to worry about the ears on the partition wall." ”
Dongfang Bin said with a smile: "I said, this is just Xingyue, and I actually sat outside and ate with a cool breeze, so you thought of it as soon as I came." ”
Gu Du smiled and told Dongfang Xia Lan: "No matter what the third brother says, you are not allowed to shout." ”
Dongfang Xia Lan glared, and Dongfang Bin also echoed: "Yes, you are not allowed to shout." ”
Dongfang Xia Lan got up and said angrily, "Shall I go back to the room?" Save yourself from getting in the way! ”
After finishing speaking, she left, neither of them called her, Dongfang Xia Lan walked not far and turned back, punched Gu Du twice, and then sat down with a pout.
Dongfang Bin told Gu Du that it wasn't Lixia who asked him to come, but the others guessed correctly, there was something, it was still a big deal, and Dongfang Bin was afraid that Gu Du would cause trouble.
He Xuzhuo, the secretary of civil affairs, mentioned two things in the court, the first thing was to send Gu Du to supervise the army, saying that it was convenient to contact. The second thing is actually the sum of two things related to Lixia, that is, let Lixia retire from the court, don't listen to the government with the emperor, and let the emperor choose concubines again to enrich the harem.
Dongfang Xia Lan coldly reprimanded: "I think he has lived enough!" ”
Dongfang Bin looked at Gu Du, and Gu Du was silent for a while before saying: "There will never be less such people in the court, and if there is one less surnamed He, there will be Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao jumping out." ”
"This kind of person talks about things with the family laws of his ancestors and the rules of the court, and he seems to be loyal, but in fact, he just wants the emperor to do what he wants, and although he himself does not form a party for personal gain, he always feels that others have ill intentions."
"This kind of person has been called a loyal minister since ancient times, but in fact they are a scourge, they advocate that the emperor has no family, but in fact they force the emperor to destroy human nature."
"They let the emperor enrich the harem and give birth to more princes in case they choose a suitable successor, in the final analysis, they are just planning for themselves and their children and grandchildren in the name of serving the country and the people."
Gu Du looked at Dongfang Bin and asked, "Have you seen Lixia?" ”
Dongfang Bin shook his head and replied, "She doesn't even see you, how can she meet me?" She was afraid that He Xuzhuo would get the handle again. ”
Gu Du asked again, "What did the emperor say?" ”
Dongfang Bin replied: "The emperor didn't allow anything, and he reprimanded him in the court, the original words were...... It's not your turn to take care of my family affairs, as long as you do your job well and don't get involved in my family affairs, you can be regarded as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, don't rely on the old and sell the old. ”
Dongfang Xia Lan pouted and said, "The emperor is very good to my master. ”
Dongfang Bin said again: "He Xuzhuo cried in the court, and threatened to die in the hall, the emperor's original words were...... He Aiqing, you don't have to be like this, if you really want to repay the country with death, then take up the knife and go into battle, for the country, for the people, for me, kill a few more enemy soldiers, blood splashed on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, and your loyalty and righteousness will not be in vain. ”
Dongfang Xia Lan clapped her hands and smiled: "Well said! ”
Gu Du's face was expressionless, Dongfang Xia Lan was young and simple-minded, in fact, what Emperor Ze said was very relieving at first glance, but it was extremely inappropriate when he thought about it.
Emperor Ze was scared in his heart, but he didn't know whether he was afraid of annoying Lixia and not letting him go to bed, or if he was afraid of provoking him, his uncle, he raised his arms and shouted, and he wanted to raise troops to Qingjun's side.
Dongfang Bin looked at Gu Du and asked, "Brother-in-law, how is it?" ”
Gu Du replied: "Since the emperor has reprimanded He Xuzhuo, what else can I do, I will set off tomorrow and return to the Spirit Kingdom." ”
