Chapter 123: Acquaintance

King Wenjun really came on behalf of the emperor, he said a few words concisely and concisely and then signaled that everyone should eat and drink, and Lord Zhu, who was in the center of the storm, did not speak, and the banquet officially began.

After Gu Hai sat down, he didn't look at it again, lowering his head and competing with the food on the table.

The people in the royal family are noble and rarely show up, and the other scholars will not let go of the opportunity, of course, they are arrogant and look at the loss of Sven, so they thank the other adults, and by the way, look at one of the candidates for the succession to the throne.

He was seventeen or eighteen years old, and at first glance he was born in a wealthy family, with delicate and white skin like mutton fat, elegant temperament, and no anger and self-authority.

"I don't know what kind of faction this county king is." Someone couldn't help but whisper, and his eyes swept over Lord Shoufu Zhu and Master Da Gao, who were sitting next to King Wenjun.

Shoufu Zhu is about fifty-four or five years old, slightly chubby, dignified appearance, after all, the person who can win the champion will not look too bad, his demeanor is serene, revealing the momentum that everything in the world is in my control.

This lord followed the emperor from birth to death, and his love was extraordinary.

The scholar was about 60 years old, with white hair and a black face, but he had a shallow smile and seemed to be very easy to get along with.

This adult went south when Dajin, and in order to protect the emperor and get out, the whole family died under the iron hooves of Dajin.

These two people have been on the same page recently, and they have said that there are you and me, and they are sitting together at this time, and they are also toasting and laughing with each other, which makes this group of scholars amazed in their hearts, and they have tasted the complexity and unfathomability of the hearts of the people of Huan Hai for the first time.

"Eat your wine," someone whispered, "I don't want to live anymore"

Some people were immediately silenced, while others looked disdainful.

"Of course, the county king is a saint." Gu Yu whispered as if talking to himself.

Gu Hai felt his gaze look at him.

"Did you say, yes?" Gu Yu turned sideways and asked in a low voice.

"Heavenly Dao Grand Duke, the Holy One has its own ruling." Gu Hai put down his chopsticks and turned his head to look at him with a solemn expression, "You don't have to talk to me here, I don't care what you think, I can tell you clearly, I believe that General Ye Zhen is wronged, and I also believe that evil is invincible." ”

His voice was not loud or small, and several scholars around him heard it, and they stopped their chopsticks and looked at him.

The people who came this time coincidentally excluded the two factions of scholars who were sharp in their daily words and attitudes, and although these people had their own thoughts in their hearts, they had never spoken out or taken sides.

What's more, this is definitely not the time to take a stand, you don't see the adults on the stage who are incompatible, and they are still affectionate like a mother.

This kid is really different.

There was a low laugh, Gu Hai felt that the leg under the table was knocked down, he looked down and saw that he didn't know who was stretching his leg over.

"Strong man, I would like to sacrifice a shoe...", a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old gentleman on the opposite side squeezed his eyebrows and chuckled.

These words immediately diluted the solemnity of the atmosphere just now, and the fluttering laughter rang out one after another.

Gu Hai was not humiliated and angry, and of course he didn't shoot the case, but smiled.

"A gentleman does something and doesn't do anything, Brother Nian, when I'm a fool?" He said lightly, and as soon as his voice fell, he raised his foot and stomped on the scholar's foot.

The scholar was in pain, and he was about to shout, but at the critical moment, he remembered that he was in the place, and he swallowed the voice back.

At this moment, the soldiers around him held back their laughter and held back their stomachs.

Gu Yu also smiled, glanced at Gu Hai, and did not speak again.

The small movement here did not escape the eyes of the ordinary adults on the stage, although they couldn't hear what these people said, but they also knew that it was a hot topic today, and the adults each smiled tacitly.

At the moment of the feast, everyone on the stage stood up and bid farewell to King Wenjun.

Gu Hai still lowered his head, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and the soldiers around him retreated one after another.

Wang Long of Wenjun, who was surrounded by officials, came in a hurry, and then stopped in front of Gu Hai.

Gu Hai only felt his heart skip a beat.

"Your article is doing well, but it is more than decent, and the skills and spirituality are insufficient, so you need to work harder." A familiar and unfamiliar voice came from in front of Gu Hai.

There was silence all around, and Gu Hai lowered his head and felt a volley of countless surprised glances around him.

"The student knows, thank you for your advice." He bowed respectfully.

The corners of the golden orchid's clothes swayed, and the person walked over.

"Gu Hai, do you recognize King Wenjun?"

The crowd suddenly surrounded Gu Hai and asked with a surprised expression.

Even the adults looked curious, looking thoughtfully at this not outstanding scholar.

Gu Yu stood outside the crowd with an indifferent expression, and the conversation between the two adults not far away came into his ears intermittently.

"..... this son is from Jiankang......"

"....Xianren County...."

“… The king of the county once traveled abroad to study......"

"In that case, adults can rest assured..."

Gu Yu turned his head slightly, and saw two elegant officials talking side by side, seeing him look over, one of them nodded and smiled slightly.

"Master Hu.." Gu Yu hurriedly walked over a few steps and bowed down.

"No need to be polite." Master Hu nodded and smiled, and introduced to the official standing on the side, "This is this Huiyuan, Gu Yu and Gu Cunzhi..."

He paused for a moment, and then added, "Cunzhi and one hundred and fifty tributes Gu Hai Gu Hanzhi are cousins. ”

"Oh?" The official was interested, his eyes lit up, and he aimed his somewhat arrogant gaze at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu raised his eyes and saw that this person was about forty years old, with a fair face and good facial features, just a pair of slender eyes, which destroyed the overall sense of neutrality, and his jaw was slightly raised, looking at the person's gaze from bottom to top, with a sense of arrogance.

Gu Yu's eyes were vicious, and he could see at a glance that this person was actually a little kind to Lord Zhu, the first assistant of the current dynasty, plus this adult came to the banquet, he couldn't recognize all the students here, but he didn't recognize the top of the Huiyuan list, so it was a little unreasonable, either this person was closed to news or a high-ranking person disdained to know.

In view of this person's appearance, Gu Yu thought it was the latter.

"The two brothers are the same Zhonggongshi, which is really a beautiful talk." The man opened his mouth and smiled, his eyes narrower, adding a bit of femininity.

"Adults praise falsely, students don't dare." Gu Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

His voice is clear, his posture is elegant, and he does not have the panic and unconsciously flattering of those who first see the important ministers of the Son of Heaven, although everyone likes villains to slip their beards, but they still look down on villains in their hearts, which is really a contradiction.

"The young man who survived was rarely promising, and he was dignified, and I saw the image of a champion." The man laughed.

Gu Yu only felt his ears jump.

If other officials said this, Gu Yu would definitely think that this person was crazy, the champion was determined by the emperor, who in the world would dare to decide for the Son of Heaven?

"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Yu bowed again.

This kid is not afraid to be small, Lord Hu and the official glanced at each other, if other scholars listened, they would not be so frightened that they couldn't say a word, and this one still responded calmly.

Master Hu laughed, "Brother Huaien, don't show off your physiognomy learning, young people believe it, in case... You're responsible..."

A conversation ended in a joke and everyone laughed.

"The Son of Heaven is sage, talented people will not be buried." The man twisted his beard and laughed.

There was a bustle at the door, and Lord Shoufu, who had sent King Wenjun away, returned with a few officials.

"My brother is here, I'll go over and talk." The man laughed and strode away.

Master Hu suddenly reached out and patted Gu Yu's shoulder, smiled meaningfully, and followed suit.

The autumn wind blew, and Gu Yu only felt a chill on his back, only to find that the sweat of his inner clothes was wet.

Brother.....

Sure enough, this person is the cousin of Lord Zhu, the official envoy of the Political Department and the servant of the Criminal Department, Zhu Chunyang.

It is said that this person was a county sword pen official before he was developed, and he was most accustomed to reversing black and white pen to judge people's life and death, and now with his brother's power, everyone has changed color everywhere he goes.

However, it seemed that he was very satisfied with what he had just dealt with, and Gu Yu's pounding heart gradually calmed down, but it was replaced by an unprecedented sense of excitement.

Above the officialdom, the situation is unpredictable, without noticing a word, and now the dynasty is in a high position and respected, and the Ming Dynasty may cut the knight and become a prisoner.

However, wealth is sought in danger, and the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain.

He looked aside, Gu Hai was still surrounded by many people, and he felt that he couldn't stop, and Gu Hai's expression was faint, with a combined smile.

So he and King Wenjun met in Xianren County, and this kid didn't know that this person was King Wenjun at that time, originally the two met in Pingshui and saw each other indefinitely, but after coming to the capital, they accidentally met King Wenjun... Unexpectedly, such a good guess, it should be that time to enter Yunmeng Academy.....

Good luck

A trace of jealousy flashed on Gu Yu's face, but soon a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his gaze shifted to Lord Shoufu, who was obviously the focus of the officials, luck depended on heaven, but since he was a person forgotten by God, he had to rely on himself to take it and fight for it.

At the end of September, the river is sluggish, and boats of all sizes pass through the river one after another.

The boat went upstream, the initial freshness became boring in a few days, the two little guys couldn't stop in the cabin, and Gu Hai didn't need them to serve in front of him, so he sent them out to catch fish and shrimp to play.

The river is surging and the water is fast, and it is strange that it can be caught.

The little girl boiled a pot of hot tea, pushed open the cabin door with her hand, and saw her young master holding a scroll in her hand, looking at the flowing water outside the window and contemplating.

Since the hairpin banquet, Gu Hai has been in the city, not only the students, but even some ministers have sent posts inviting visits, so that Gu Hai had to advance the itinerary, taking advantage of the dead of night, one master and three servants to board the ship and leave the capital like thieves.

Gu Yu had already returned home earlier than him, and the two of them finally avoided each other as they said, and there was no companion, which is good, not to speculate for more than half a sentence, save hard work, and still be alone.

The little maid put down the tea and tiptoed out.

Gu Hai didn't seem to notice, his heart repeatedly thought about Cai Wen, the king of Wenjun.

Thinking about the news that I learned later, the royal family recruited a total of four county kings into Beijing, the oldest was twenty years old, and the youngest was only six years old, and the king of Wenjun was not up or down, and there was an advantage that he was the seventh grandson of Taizu, and he was more qualified to get the throne.

And this person was actually a classmate with himself........ which is really unusual....

Gu Hai suddenly thought of the scorpion again, as if he had touched the taboo, and his thoughts came to an abrupt end.

"How many days are you home?" He asked, putting down the book and picking up the teapot.

"Three days to go." The little girl replied crisply, pushed the door and came in with a smile, snatching the teapot in Gu Hai's hand, "Young master, let it go, slave and maid." ”

It's been six months since I left home unconsciously, and this is the first time I've been away from home for so long, although my sister said in the letter that everything was fine, Gu Hai never let go.

"Young master, you don't know, the people who say matchmaking are going to kick the threshold through....." The little girl was chattering about the family.

She came to the capital only after getting the news of Gu Hai High School's tribute, and she never had a chance to talk to the young master, but she had a good time talking along the way.

Gu Hai smiled, "No, our young lady will definitely order the door to be closed..."

"Scared, young master, how do you know?" The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked at Gu Hai with a little reverence, the young master is a Wenqu star, and he will definitely be able to pinch it.....

Gu Hai laughed, "Then how many Wenqu stars have to go down to earth is enough...", he stretched out his hand and nodded the little girl's forehead.

The little girl's face turned red, looking at the young master who picked up the book again, she couldn't help but be stunned, the young master has a really good temper and looks good, I don't know which young lady is blessed......

Three days later, in the autumn rain, the boat docked, and on the bustling dock, Gu Hai saw the mother and daughter standing with umbrellas at a glance.

"Brother." Gu Banniang's eyes were sharp, and she immediately raised her hand and shouted.

Cao Shi looked at her hand and immediately couldn't cry.

Because Gu Yu arrived first, the pomp and circumstance to welcome Huiyuan was very luxurious, which seemed to overdraw the enthusiasm of the people of Jiankang Mansion, and Gu Hai's arrival was very calm, and no one even from the Gu family came to greet him.

"They didn't ask, so I wouldn't have said." Gu Bainiang said with a smile while looking at Gu Hai.

Cao Shi pulled his son's arm, stroked his son's face and said that he had lost weight, and shed tears.

"Mother, which student doesn't take off a layer of skin after the exam, my brother is fine." Gu Bainiang smiled and comforted the Cao family.

How to celebrate after returning home Needless to mention, as Gu Bainiang said, this imperial examination is a severe test for students, both physically and psychologically, coupled with the fatigue of the boat and car, after arriving home, Gu Hai fell asleep for a day and a night.

Cao's had to cry again, and all kinds of tonic soups were made in turn for peace of mind.

After thanking Mr. Ethnology, Gu Hai came home slightly drunk, and happened to meet Gu Baniang who was going out.

Looking at his sister who wore an ink-colored cloak and held an umbrella from the autumn rain, Gu Hai only felt a pain in his heart.

"Brother is back? Eat less alcohol. She laughed and stopped.

"To the drugstore?" Gu Hai asked, reaching out to help his sister tie the cloak strap that was not loose.

Except for the day she came back, her sister went to the pharmacy every day, going early and returning late, although she always smiled and talked Yanyan, but a trace of sadness between her eyebrows could not escape Gu Hai's eyes.

"But you're hiding it from me?" Gu Hai asked.

Gu Bainiang lowered her head, sighed, and raised her head again, her eyes were slightly red.

"Master, his old man is gone...," she whispered, her voice a little dry.

"Are you out again?" Gu Hai asked, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Gu Bainiang's tears finally fell, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief and stretched out her hand to wipe it away, tilted her head slightly and said, "That's what you say to the outside world....."

Gu Hai only felt that his heart was smashed by a boulder, which meant .....

Gu Banniang couldn't hold back her tears anymore, in order to leave her more time, Liu Gong said goodbye without saying goodbye, and left a letter forbidding her to find Zhang Yang.

The old man left like this, just like when he came, but this time Gu Bainiang knew that when he encountered doubts again, when he frowned and couldn't solve the medicine technique, he would never appear like a divine soldier descending from the sky and protect himself behind him, and from this moment on, Liu Gong completely disappeared in the world.

"But I can't die with filial piety....let his bones ....." Gu Banniang hugged Gu Hai and choked up.

"Such a great favor... There is no way to repay it..."Gu Hai's voice was also a little choked, stroking his sister's hair, "Eighteen Niang, you must not let down his old man....this is the only reward that can be done......."

Gu Bainiang knelt on Gu Hai's chest and nodded.

The brother and sister sat down in the small pavilion, Gu Bainiang wiped her tears, and said with a forced smile: "Brother is back, I haven't heard you talk about the new things in the capital..."

Gu Hai deliberately changed the topic and picked up some things to talk about, including how he entered Yunmeng Academy and Cai Wen.

Gu Bainiang was shocked, the two glanced at each other, and at the same time thought about the scorpion, but because it involved royal secrets, they kept silent.

"Sister, General Ye Zhen came later..."Gu Haihu said.

Gu Bainiang sighed and nodded, lowered her head and said, "... Rebellion... The family is beheaded...."

Gu Hai's hand creaked, "Impossible.. It couldn't be ......."

There is no heavenly reason, and there is no justice

"Brother, don't meddle in this matter, this matter can't be changed by a few people...."Gu Bainiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Although I am an inner house woman who doesn't know the world, I also know that many people have been implicated because of General Ye's case... Brother, you must not..."

"Sister, fate can change, right?" Gu Hai raised his head and asked solemnly.

Gu Bainiang was stunned.

"Sister, according to fate, my mother and I are dead, right? But we're still alive....then General Ye Zhen can't...."Gu Hai said in a deep voice, his eyes shining.

Can fate change? Still can't change? Gu Bainiang's mind was buzzing for a while, she felt that what her brother said was right, but she felt that it was wrong, she couldn't help but sit and look at Gu Hai in a daze.

"Brother, we're ants," she murmured, "... But... General Ye is different...... If... If his fate also changes....."

Then there are a lot of things that have to change, and these things are big things.

"Brother, later General Ye was wronged....not long after... As long as... As long as the prince ascends the throne..."Gu Bainiang stammered from her limited memories of national events.

If General Ye hadn't died, then why would Prince Zhe have cleared his name? If you don't clear your grievances, will Prince Zhe ascend the throne?

When this thought came up, a few words flashed in my mind, it was the prince of Zhe who ascended the throne? Prince Zhe? King Wenjun....

Gu Bainiang was startled, and she stood up suddenly.

"Brother, you say, you said that Cai Wen is the king of Wenjun?" She asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"That's right, son of King Xiu.." Gu Hai replied, looking at her with some puzzlement, guessing that although her sister was a woman in the house, she would not be unaware of the major event of the change of emperor, and laughed in a low voice, "He wasn't the one who ascended the throne in the end, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

No, there are so many county kings to be elected, who said that the king of Wenjun is the one who will win.

"No, I'm not going to join anyone's forces..... He said softly, trying to appease Eighteen Niang.

But Gu Bainiang thought about it, shook her head, covered her mouth, and her originally unwavering eyes showed horror.

"No, no, there is no king of Wenjun in this world, Wang Wenjun died of illness in the fifth year of Jianyuan..... She looked at Gu Hai and muttered.

“？” Gu Hai stood up in shock.

Five years after the founding of the Yuan? Wasn't that last year........
