"The mourning family heard that Huan Che, the concubine of the Huan family, wants to propose to you, what is your attitude towards this matter?"

When the Empress Dowager Yu asked this, her eyes were quite aggressive, and she had to say that as the first Empress Dowager in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to listen to the government and take power, the Empress Dowager Yu also had a coercive momentum that could not be ignored by the superiors.

And Empress Dowager Yu's intention to ask this was also obvious, whether she was testing or judging whether a person who might become the enemy of her Yu clan was won over or destroyed was just a thought Gu Yu answered.

However, after a pause, Gu Yu replied with a smile: "But a concubine, why is the Queen Mother afraid?" ”

The Queen Mother's expression immediately changed, and she sneered and brushed her sleeves and said, "Concubine? But Long Kanghuan's clan is a concubine, and he can also be bullied above the son of my royal family, which is really too rampant! ”

Hearing this, Gu Yu knew that the Queen Mother had already learned everything that the Son of Heaven had encountered in the Jin Tomb, including Huan Che's debate on the rationality of the imperial power system at that banquet.

"Queen Mother, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, there is nothing in this world that can last long, since your Yingchuan Yu clan can replace the Langya Wang clan above the court, then the Long Kanghuan clan will also have a day to replace the Yingchuan Yu clan."

As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, Empress Dowager Yu's face suddenly sank, and her face showed a look of anger and indignation, and then she heard Gu Yu answer, "In the same way, the Long Kanghuan clan can last for a long time, and it is common sense that prosperity must decline, this is the cycle of heaven!" ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Yu was still frowning, Gu Yu gave another salute and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, what you are worried about is just that Huan Da Sima is planning to abolish the establishment and replace the Jin family, and his concubine is rampant, why not let him go rampantly, there are Taiyuan Wang's family, Langya Wang's family and Chenjun Xie's and other Qingwang high-ranking families, Huan Da Sima categorically does not dare to take the liberty of abolishing the establishment, after all, he also needs prestige to support the court!" ”

Hearing Gu Yu say this, Empress Dowager Yu's expression eased slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yu again, and suddenly asked: "The mourning family heard that you have the ability to watch the stars, isn't it really like Du Daoshou who can observe the stars and know the affairs of the world?" ”

Gu Yu, who heard Du Dao's first three words, frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something.

The Empress Dowager Yu's mouth of Du Dao is the first Qiantang Du Zigong of the Heavenly Master Road, legend has it that Du Zigong is quite familiar with some mystical principles, can use witchcraft to smelt diseases, and can spy on the destiny of heaven, the Eastern tyrant family and the noble hope, and the matter as a disciple, in the major clans, especially the Langya Wang clan headed by the health gate lord clan, are respectful to it,

When Du Zigong was alive, the Heavenly Master Dao was just to teach some secret techniques with the core idea of "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note", in the final analysis, it was to give some comfort to those who asked God and worshiped Buddha, but Gu Yu remembered that after Du Zigong died in the previous life, Sun Tai, who accepted his mantle, expanded the Heavenly Master Dao and raised a certain scale of army, and finally launched a rebellion against the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this rebellion was also large-scale, not only did Wang Ningzhi of the Langya Wang clan die at his hands, but even the health city also suffered a lot of heavy damage.

Thinking of this Sun Tai, Gu Yu suddenly thought of what Xie Xuan had said to her, the Heavenly Master Dao believers who broke into the Shen family's manor of her maternal ancestor and the black-clothed leader who wore a mask.

Is it possible that that man is this Sun Tai?

Thinking like this, Gu Yu shook his head again, if you calculate from the age, then Sun Tai is only a child now, and it doesn't seem to fit the burly figure of the man in black, not to mention Du Zigong, the current Du Zigong is probably also a gray-haired old man.

Thinking about it, Gu Yu quickly settled down again, and replied to the Empress Dowager Yu: "The Empress Dowager has a good reputation, how can the courtiers be on a par with Prime Minister Du Dao, who is known at home, and the courtiers can't talk about current affairs!" ”

"What is current affairs?" Empress Dowager Yu asked with interest, "The mourning family also heard that you had suggested that the Son of Heaven should use Confucianism and Taoism to smelt the country and implement benevolent government. ”

Gu Yu said: "Queen Mother, foolish and often eavesdropping, if Kong Sheng doesn't know Lao Tzu, he will never be happy, if Lao Tzu doesn't know Kong, he will never say that he will do nothing, this so-called saint has the same heart, and the same end is the same!" ”

Empress Dowager Yu's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What is the so-called different paths to the same end?" ”

"Confucianism is based on benevolence, interpretation is based on precepts, so it is said that filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, if Lao Tzu does not know Confucius, does not know the Buddha, must not take compassion as a treasure, talk about the Tao of nature, to smelt the country, so that the people do not fight, this so-called ten thousand factions of the dynasty, a hundred rivers blindly, different ways to the same end!"

As Gu Yu finished speaking, Empress Dowager Yu was even more stunned, just looked at Gu Yu in a daze, and was speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until there was silence for a long time in the empty Xianyang Hall that Empress Dowager Yu asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

When Gu Yu was directly asked about his age, he was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The courtier will soon be fifteen!" ”

"Fifteen years old and at the age of Xuan, such a young age has such an eloquent talent, Gu's Ayu really deserves his reputation, it is true that she is a talented woman!"

After the Empress Dowager Yu finished speaking, Gu Yu smiled again: "Thank you for the praise of the Empress Dowager, I have often heard that Gan Luo worships the prime minister at the age of twelve, and Xiang Lu became the teacher of Confucius at the age of seven, so the courtiers are not yet young." ”

Empress Dowager Yu was stunned again, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly called a palace maid to come in and ordered: "Go to the mourning family's bedroom, bring the brocade box prepared by the mourning family, and give it to this Gu Shiniang!" ”

The palace maid was slightly startled, and actually glanced at Gu Yu in some disbelief, before she bowed and replied, "No!" He turned and walked away into a bedroom with a green curtain.

Gu Yu thought thoughtfully, and at this time, Empress Dowager Yu asked again: "The mourning family also heard that you want to revive the status of your grandfather Shen family's Wuxing Shen clan, right?" ”

Gu Yu raised his head and replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

Empress Dowager Yu's gaze turned sharply again, looked at her and said, "Do you know that your maternal grandfather Shen Shiju is a judge who raised troops and rebelled, and if you revive the Shen family, you have to wash away the stigma of your grandfather Shen Shiju, how do you wash away the stigma?" ”

This question was very majestic and implied a murderous atmosphere, and under this solemn and murderous atmosphere, Gu Yu was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Queen Mother, Ruan Bingbu, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, once said to Ji Renzu, the son of Uncle Ji, that in the four seasons of heaven and earth, there is still news, water, clouds, stars and moons, there is still a long loss, not to mention people, everyone has their own way to seek, this is not about the father and son of the monarch and the minister, the ethics are constant,

Moreover, my grandfather's case is just someone else's story, and the truth of it is not yet known. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Yu raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help shouting: "Bold!" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside the hall were so frightened that they rushed in!

"The Queen Mother—"

"The Queen Mother—"

The female eunuchs of the palace set their eyes on Gu Yu, as if they were waiting for an order from the Empress Dowager Yu, however, the atmosphere was only frozen for a moment, and the Empress Dowager Yu stretched out her hand to signal them to retreat.

"All down!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The palace maids and eunuchs retreated to their respective positions one after another, and then the Empress Dowager Yu set her eyes on Gu Yu again, but seeing that her expression did not move, a pair of eyes like Bitan were unfathomable, and even she felt a noble courage that could not be underestimated.

Empress Dowager Yu was slightly stunned, and Gu Yu said at this time: "Please give the courtiers time, and the courtiers will find a way to prove it!" ”

Empress Dowager Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What proof?" Prove that your grandfather, Shen Shiju, did not cause trouble? ”

Gu Yu smiled and continued: "The courtier only needs to prove that he is innocent, and Wu Xing Shen is not guilty!" ”

Empress Dowager Yu was silent, and in the face of such a Gu Yu, she was speechless to refute, originally this rebuke was just to frustrate her spirit, so that she could willingly convince her to be used by her, but such a sister-in-law even gave birth to a sense of inviolability.

No...... This girl can't be seen as a sister-in-law at all.

Empress Dowager Yu couldn't help but think in her heart, at this time, the palace maid who was sent into the palace by her walked out with a brocade box, first gave a salute in front of the Empress Dowager, and then presented the brocade box in front of Gu Yu.

"Since you are about to get done, this will be regarded as a gift from the mourning family to you!" The Queen Mother said.

Gu Yu glanced at this brocade box, and from the eyes of the palace maid, she could judge that the things in the box were not very valuable, but they were extremely meaningful objects to the Empress Dowager Yu.

When it comes to precious, I'm afraid that no matter how precious things are, it is just a little play for her grandfather, who is known as the pride of Jiangdong.

This point, Empress Dowager Yu must be very clear in her heart, so what does this reward mean?

Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, and when Empress Dowager Yu saw that she didn't answer, she said, "What?" Eleven Niang doesn't look down on our royal things? ”

Gu Yu lowered his head and said, "How dare you!" Only then did he take the brocade box handed over by the palace maid into his hand.

When Empress Dowager Yu saw her accept it, she seemed to feel a little at ease, and the corners of her lips pursed a slight smile, which made Gu Yu withdraw from the palace.

And when Gu Yu was leaving, he found that there was also a huge agarwood lady screen in this huge Xianyang Palace, and on one side of the screen, you could glimpse a corner of cyan clothes swaying slightly!

Someone?

It was just a thought, Gu Yu didn't think much about it, and walked out of the Xianyang Hall with the palace maid.

And just after she left, the figure behind the screen really walked out, this is a well-dressed and very graceful person, although he is not confused, but his posture is as outstanding as a crane, and his bearing is extraordinary.

Seeing this person, Empress Dowager Yu's expression softened a little, and she hurriedly asked, "Second brother, look, how is this sister-in-law?" ”

"Extremely intelligent, with a precious life!" The man replied, and then walked in front of the Empress Dowager Yu, "I'm afraid that I have great ambitions and will be difficult to tame." ”

Empress Dowager Yu also nodded, and said, "Brother, don't you think she looks like a person?" ”

"Who?"

"The princess of the former dynasty city, who is also the mother of Xie Shang, the general of Zhenxi, and the daughter of the Le family, Le Ninghao."

The man is stunned, mentioning the mother of the Zhenxi general Xie Shang, who can be described as a legendary daughter in the previous dynasty, legend has it that after the Yin and Yang family, she knows the number of techniques, knows the destiny of heaven, and she can win the world, however, after she married the king of the city, the king of the city was still defeated and died, so this rumor was broken, but then the woman married the father of Xie Shang, and the Xie family of Chenjun rose in the hands of the two of them, and when it was passed to Xie Shang, it was already a healthy first-class gate lord clan.

After the man pondered for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be...... This Gu Shi Niang is not ......"

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking.
