Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ancient Seal
Longshan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a mansion at the foot of the southern foothills, covering an area of 100 acres. Every inch of land is expensive here, not to mention ordinary people, even the power of the big family in the imperial capital is difficult to build such a magnificent mansion.
The reason is very simple, the owner of this mansion is not an ordinary person, but the eldest son of the emperor who is most valued by the ancient emperor today, Gu Xi, the king of Anling.
It was midday. The sun is scorching and the temperature is hot.
Funai annex. Gu Xi was at the desk, concentrating on reviewing the notebook. This King of Anling looks thirty-four or five years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like jade, elegant and vulgar, and he is definitely a beautiful man.
Between the looks of anticipation, there is an indescribable majesty. Obviously, it is a unique temperament cultivated by being in a key position for many years, plus royal blood.
The table is full of notebooks from the four collars and eight provinces, describing trivial and miscellaneous matters, which is annoying. Gu Xi seems to have long been accustomed to it, meticulous, and carefully reviewed. Others don't know, but he knows best in his heart the prestige and glory that reviewing these recitals brings to him.
This is the trust of the father, and it is replaced by someone else...... For example, the younger brother that the father and emperor hate the most, let alone review, is not qualified to take a look.
He is the eldest son of the emperor and has the best chance of inheriting the throne and becoming the candidate of the ninth emperor of the ancient emperor.
In order to achieve this goal, or perhaps a lifelong wish, he must continue to work hard and use his outstanding talents to prove to his father that he is far better than the other three brothers and is more suitable to inherit the throne.
Three brothers!
The fourth brother Gu Lie, whose mother came from a humble background and had a stubborn personality, was extremely unpopular with his father. Therefore, it can be said that it does not pose the slightest threat to his succession to the throne.
The third brother Gu Hao, the brother of the same mother, has already expressed his attitude and helped him, the eldest brother, ascend to the throne.
As for the second brother Gu Zhan...... Thinking of the other party, Gu Xi, who was reviewing the transcript, stuttered his hand, and immediately left a striking ink mark on the page.
This is noble-born, talented, clever and clever, and is very popular with his father. When he grew up, he was named the king of Zhenbei, with great military achievements, prestige, holding ninety percent of the military power of the dynasty, guarding the northern frontier, and being the biggest enemy!
Every time he thought of this brother, Gu Xi was in a bad mood. He knows how to figure out his father's mind best, and he seems to trust and cultivate himself, but in fact, he is the same for his second brother Gu Zhan, and he even has to be more kind and favored.
He can control the officials of the ministry, but the most important military power of the dynasty is entrusted to the second brother by his father.
Soldiers are the foundation of the royal road!
Gu Xi understands this truth better than anyone else, if he does not take charge of the military for a day, he will still be a false shelf after all, and it will be difficult to become a climate.
He is a person who is unwilling to obey fate, knows how to use the power in his hands, win over relationships, cultivate henchmen, and lay a solid foundation for himself to fight for the throne.
Those who seek the world seek power!
Gu Xi believes that with his unremitting efforts, there will always be a day when thousands of people will return to their hearts and yellow robes. Even if the father is deliberately partial, it is difficult to go against the general trend.
"Lord!"
When Gu Xi was in high spirits and imagined his future prospects. A thin old man came quietly.
"Is there something wrong?" Putting away the fluctuating emotions in his heart, Gu Xi glanced at the old man and asked lightly.
"The four princes ask to see!" The old man bowed down and prayed.
Gu Xi let out an 'oh' after hearing this. After thinking about it, he commanded, "Let him in!" ”
For his unsuccessful fourth brother, Gu Xi has no ill feelings, of course, the most important thing is that the other party has no conflict of interest with him. I don't see anyone on weekdays, but when I come to see you today, I guess there must be something.
Not long after, the old man returned again, followed by a young man, who was none other than Gu Lie.
"Brother Emperor!"
Gu Lie changed his style of flowing, and when he came, he bowed to Gu Xi who was sitting on the desk.
"It's all my own brothers, where do you get so much etiquette!"
Gu Xi put down the business at hand, took Gu Lie's hand very affectionately, and came to the living room next to him. For this eldest brother, Gu Lie showed great respect, and did not dare to have the slightest transgression and presumptuousness.
"Xiao Lie, I don't see you coming to the door on weekdays, but come over today...... Short of money to spend? Or do you have something to ask the royal brother for help? Gu Xi looked at the young brother and spoke in an amiable tone.
Gu Lie grinned: "It really made the eldest brother guess, the younger brother did have something to ask for this time?" ”
"Are you causing trouble again, and you need the royal brother to come forward to wipe your ass for you?" Gu Xi ridiculed, there was no shelf. He was scheming and had always been kind to his brother, who had no conflict of interest. Of course, this effort is not without reward. After the other party's wedding, he will be crowned with a fief and become a prince. That's when self-energy comes in handy.
Gu Lie came this time, of course, to intercede for his friend Fang Xiaobao. After he told the whole thing in detail, he looked at his eldest brother and said cautiously, "It's not easy for my friend either...... Brother Emperor, can you see the love of the younger brother, send someone to say hello to the Chen family, don't be embarrassed for him anymore! ”
"Chen Bin, the vertical son, dare to do nonsense outside under the banner of this king, damn it!"
Gu Xi's face was angry. Then he shouted outside the living room: "Uncle Qing! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
The figure flickered. The old man from before flashed like a ghost and came to the living room.
"Go and talk to Chen Jinsong, let him take care of his son, if he dares to act recklessly, he will never be spared!"
"Yes!"
The old man named Uncle Qing bowed down to receive the order, and in an instant, his body shook, and the person disappeared like a ghost, without a trace.
For this old god's haunting ability, Gu Lie was not surprised. The members of their royal family are all guarded by masters of the inner court, and this Uncle Qing is one of them, and he is also a master of the masters.
"Xiao Lie, go back and tell your friend, so that he doesn't have to worry about the Chen family, the imperial capital is a place of rule of law, and no one wants to bend the law for personal gain!" Gu Xi said unhurriedly.
"Thank you, Brother Emperor!" Gu Lie's face was full of gratitude.
"Our brothers, don't say thank you!"
Gu Xi laughed, then patted him on the shoulder, and teased: "In two months, it will be your wedding, although Wei Nan's girl has a bad temper, she is from a famous family, and she is a good match for you...... Don't patronize and have fun, you should also take some time to spend more time with your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, otherwise, if Old Man Wei goes to his father to complain, your kid will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! ”
"What the eldest brother taught me is that the younger brother knows." Gu Lie smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Also, after the wedding, according to the rules, my father will entitle you, and there will always be your three-city territory in the vast realm of four territories and eight provinces...... You have to think about it, where to talk to the imperial brother, and then the imperial brother will help you speak in front of your father! Gu Xi Chunchun advised. It is very caring.
"Brother Emperor, there are five of us brothers and sisters, you are the best for me!" Gu Lie was grateful.
Gu Xi laughed. I am very satisfied with this young brother's statement.
