Gu Tingcheng tucked the bamboo card close to his waist and didn't put it in his sleeve. Just followed Bai Yulou over, no moonlight, but I can really feel that it seems to be more complete, it should be Bai Yulou on the way back to the moon to do tricks and feet, make up a few points.

The spring and summer monsoons are also more integrated, and as for the March bamboo wind that was left on Zhu Mingshan's right hand for sealing, it also returned to his fingertips, and the upside-down Dao seal seemed to have been melted when Bai Yulou did the sword dance.

Gu Qingcheng was overjoyed, not only happy for Zhu Mingshan's family, but also happy that the second brother's stubborn illness for many years finally had a way to be cured.

The three agreed to recuperate in Dongfu for a few days, pack some luggage and go out of Tianmen Mountain, and go to Suizhou City on the border between Dongyue and Nan'an to set up a bamboo hut for the three members of the Zhu family to live the life of ordinary people.

Suizhou City is the gate of East Vietnam, and the business activities are also very lively, which just greatly fulfills the wish of Qingsi to catch the market. One of the three major academies in Dongyue, Jinghong Academy, is located in Suizhou, and the sage book of the little girl in red can also be regarded as a place.

The most important thing is that Suizhou is a military important place, and it is also the first dragon claw of Gujia Qianli Fulong, Dongyue has been in constant friction with Nan'an since the founding of the country, and the natural elite is stationed all year round in the country's important town.

On Gu Tingcheng's twenty-eighth birthday, the old emperor issued an order to give the tiger talisman of the Suizhou White Robe Army to Gu Tingcheng, the general of the Gu family, but the military department of the Yue State clearly ordered that those who did not reach the crown were not allowed to receive the rank of general. Therefore, this tiger talisman will not officially take effect until this year.

Zhu Mingshan was dressed in Qimen Dun armor, Gu Qingcheng naturally couldn't waste it, and invited Zhu Mingshan to be the head of the white-robed army in Suizhou as the commander of the white-robed army. Gu Qingcheng had expectations for the white-robed army, he felt that there was something wrong with this world, and he didn't know what was wrong now, so he wanted to come out and take a look. But his intuition told him that the old emperor gave him the white-robed army, which was not just a favor to the Gu family.

Zhu Mingshan did not refuse, and hid in the city.

After the three of them finished talking about settling down, they began to talk about the wind and moon. The little girl in red liked to listen very much, and she kicked her little short-legged fart to move a wooden chair, brought out a bowl of broad beans, and listened to it with taste. Happy Xiaodaotong also went to get a few wild fruits to nibble on the side, and seeing that everyone was so interested, Qingsi warmed up the rest of the Qin wine again.

The wine jug in Bai Yulou is a space object, specially refined for these drinks that can't be put in the sleeve. I don't know how big it is, anyway, after the old Confucian chased after him, he turned around and returned, shouting and almost forgetting the big thing, so he almost emptied the wine in Zhu Mingshan's house, leaving only one bottle, and the miracle was far away.

Gu Qingcheng suddenly thought that when he first saw Zhu Mingshan, he was sitting in front of the hall reading a book, the title of the book was "Spring and Autumn Chaos", and he was extremely impressed, because according to the calendar of that powerful empire that has become history, it is now Spring and Autumn. I thought I had read a lot of books, but I had never heard of them, so I brought the topic to this book.

Yuan Bao also came to be interested, he grew up in a wealthy family, and he was the only son in the family, and there were many books in the world, and it was the first time I heard of the book titled "Spring and Autumn Chaos".

Zhu Mingshan took out the book and put it on the table and said with a smile: "Naturally, the two of you will not read this book, because the author of this book is Zhu Mou"

The ingots took it and looked at it, and they were amazed.

Gu Tingcheng looked at the ingots and flipped through them, and the first sentence he saw was: In troubled times, it is spring and autumn; I can't help but fall into contemplation: Although the four countries are in the world today, and there are constant disputes, they are all small fights, because of the similar strength and mutual containment, once there is a change, they will inevitably suffer from the enemy, so the four countries have temporarily entered a delicate balance. For the people, this is not a troubled time.

"Can you two do it?"

Gu Tingcheng asked rhetorically: "In this troubled world, is it the world or the world that is chaotic?" ”

"It's people's hearts that are chaotic, Brother Gu can know why the Confucian monks are obviously cultivating to the heavens and ranking first-rate in the upper third-rate, but they don't want to ascend to the heavens and go to the nine-fold palace to stay in the world to practice the work of education?"

Gu Qingcheng pondered for a while, he also thought about this problem, and organized the language: "Every time I have gained from reading before, I will cite supporting evidence. The books referred to are all available in a hundred schools, and what Brother Zhu asked, I can't answer it now."

Yuan Bao also nodded.

Zhu Mingshan smiled: "Why did Qin die, there are a lot of speculations under the mountain, everyone doesn't know what to do, if Xinglin's heart is clear but silent, it is people's hearts that are confused." Maybe the world is never peaceful, but it doesn't cure people's hearts, so laissez-faire, sooner or later there will be chaos"

Gu Tingcheng thought for a while, Zhu Mingshan didn't want the Spring and Autumn Chaos to be chaotic, "Li Guoshun and the people are safe" is the first priority for scholars to be born and shi, and the war is chaotic together, and the people are not happy: "Spring and Autumn cannot help but be chaotic." The Four Kingdoms rule the Spring and Autumn Period, and the sin is after the Spring and Autumn Period"

Zhu Mingshan slowly drank the last glass of Qin wine, slowly put down the wine glass and said: "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Four Kingdoms, maybe the people's hearts are not aligned after all, but under the action of external forces, they have to be united."

Yuanbao somewhat understood, these two people were arguing with gentlemen about the Spring and Autumn Period. He didn't have such thoughts, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the strong conquering the weak, Tianli, this result looked the same as what Gu Tingcheng said, but it seemed to be a little different. He didn't fully understand the words of this peerless brother, and he needed to think about it.

Gu Tingcheng also drank the glass of wine in his hand, held the empty cup, and did not put it down. also smiled and said: "Gu Qingcheng was born in Jiangmen since he was a child, he should have joined the military family, his father said that the soldiers are ruthless, he wants to feel the mountains and rivers, but as long as he sees the rivers and mountains, he will automatically come up with all kinds of ideas about how to use the terrain to march and set up formations, some people say that this is the gift of a genius general, my father said, he feels very pitiful, and it is a pity that this kind of life is enough for a hundred years, and the world cultivates the law to ascend to the sky and seeks eternal life." It's tantamount to imprisoning myself in heaven and earth."

Zhu Mingshan's face turned a little pale: "Do you want to •••••• ••••••••?"

"Brother Zhu, would you like to have a gentleman's dispute with the next one" Gu Qingcheng interrupted him

"I feel that if I can't see something anymore, it's best to tear it down and start over, plant new hope, and this gentleman's dispute is also a piece of ingot" Yuanbao drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and put down the wine glass heavily.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, stretched out their palms and struck hard, the dispute between gentlemen, harmonious but different.

Two days later, several people walked out of Tianmen Mountain.

After the old Confucian left, Gu Tingcheng once repaired a letter and returned to Beijing to tell Gu Xingyue, who was presiding over the Spring Festival Public Examination, about it. The loss of the godhead of the main peak of Dongyue was too involved, Gu Xingyue did not dare to deal with it privately, and hurriedly reported it, the old emperor was furious, and ordered the prince to investigate the matter thoroughly, and the officials involved were all severely punished.

As soon as Gu Qingcheng came out of Tianmen Mountain, he sensed the trace of the Gu family's Taijiwei. The officials of the Shanshui Division and the Ministry of Rites also entered the mountain one after another, and it was not surprising that Si Tianjian, who had always been active in canonizing the landscape, did not appear. The old emperor has never liked Si Tianjian, and he has long had the intention of banning it, presumably this incident implicated Si Tianjian's high-level officials, and the old emperor wanted to borrow a knife. Thinking about it this way, most of the luck leaked from Tianmen Mountain due to the mountain god's cultivation of the demon path was arranged by the Lancang River water god, and if you want to borrow a knife, you have to sharpen the knife to the sharpest, which has always been the old man's style of doing things.

Gu Tingcheng found a Taiji guard who was hiding in the shadows and hiding his whereabouts, and asked him to rush to Suizhou first to tell the deputy of the white-robed army that he would come to Suizhou in a few days, and asked him to help handle a few documents from Suizhou to Nan'an.

After Tai Chi Wei was ordered to leave, Zhu Mingshan frowned and said, "Brother Gu wants to enter Nan'an?" Not long ago, there was information that Nan'an had suffered a rare flood in the past 100 years, and it was almost a country of Ze, and now I am afraid that it will be •••••••"

Happy Xiaodaotong and Yuanbao have no objections, they are used to it.

Gu Tingcheng said: "After the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic, and after reading a medical book for a few days, it is the time to come in handy."

The little girl in red looked up from Qingsi's back and asked, "Ah Dad, let's go save people too" Out of Tianmen Mountain, the little girl has been carrying Qingsi on her back.

Gu Qingcheng shook his head and said, "Your father doesn't know how to heal, and besides, he has to help me train sergeants, and you have to go to study, so you can't go."

When the little girl in red heard that her request was refused, she couldn't help but lie back on Qingsi's back listlessly.

The five people are not in a hurry, along the way slowly and leisurely looking for mountains and rivers, Gu Tingcheng and Zhu Mingshan are full of poetry and books, from Los Angeles to Suizhou through the mountains and lakes are numerous, the two of them commented one by one, citing classics, plus Zhu Mingshan has traveled the world for many years, folk tales and legends are even more handy, such as a number of treasures, this road is not lonely.

Dongyue goes to the capital.

In the study, the doors and windows are closed. The crown prince Li Yunzhen and the king of Ning, Li Yunsheng, were kneeling in front of the old emperor, and the Grand Duke of Hai was bowing his head behind the emperor. Emperor Ming seemed to have just finished getting angry, and he was still a little excited: "Old Five, you say"

There are a total of eighteen dragon sons under the knee of Mingzong, and Li Yunsheng, the king of Ning, is the fifth oldest, born to Concubine Chun, who has been smart since childhood, and is deeply favored by the old emperor, and is also the first dragon son to be crowned king among the princes.

The crown prince is the eldest son of the Empress of Dongyue, the seventh among the princes, and entered the East Palace in the eighth year of the Ming calendar, and now he is over the age of standing.

King Ning glanced at the prince who was a little secretly happy, bowed his head and said: "Back to my father, the Lancang River God secretly transferred the river water to attack General Gu Jiu, and he really didn't inform the hidden dragon guard in advance."

The old emperor was furious, slapped his hands heavily and shouted: "Presumptuous, the Hidden Dragon Guard doesn't know, can the Shanshui Division and the Ministry of Rites know?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Long Yan was furious, King Ning, the crown prince and the Grand Duke of Hai all bowed their heads to the ground and did not dare to speak.

The old emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows, calmed down for a moment before saying, "Where is the little monkey Gu now?" ”

King Ning replied: "Back to my father, I just received the tail report that General Gu Jiu went to Suizhou after leaving Tianmen Mountain."

The old emperor's expression remained unchanged and said, "Oh? Can Tai Chi Wei appear? ”

"The Taiji Yin Guard Commander took the Four Elephant Battalion to besiege the Lancang River God"

The old emperor said in a deep voice: "Let the people from the corner department help him, and the god of Langcang River will enter Beijing alive."

"Sons and Daughters"

The old emperor stretched out his hand and took a cup of tea, blew the hot air and said to the prince who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you know how to drink tea?" ”

The prince raised his head slightly and said, "Back to my father, leave three points of hot tea as the entrance." Black tea in the morning, green tea after lunch and dinner, and black tea in the evening."

The old emperor snorted coldly and said, "The tea should be strong and light, and the tea should be warm and light." If you can't even master the heat, how to maintain your health? ”

The prince was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to get up.

The old emperor looked at the crown prince and King Ning for a long time, and said with a long sigh: "Get up"

The three of them were ordered to stand up, the old emperor swept over at a glance, the prince was a little panicked, but King Ning looked calm. I couldn't help but feel a little angry again, and waved my hand: "Go down"

King Ning and the crown prince were ordered to kneel down to the old emperor and withdraw from the imperial study.

Seeing that the two of them were gone, the old emperor felt a little tired and said to Hai Dagong, who was still standing with his head down: "Hai Laogou, who do you think among my sons can not guard against the Gu family?" Who can use the Gu family? ”

Grand Duke Hai said cautiously: "The emperor's holy grace is unpredictable, and the old slave does not dare to speak falsely"

The old emperor suddenly stared straight at Hai Dagong and said, "Then do you think the Gu family will be opposed?" ”

Hai Dagong was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately fell to his knees, not daring to speak.

Half-ringing, the old emperor smiled and said: "Get up, Gu Tiansheng grew up in the Heavenly King's Mansion with you and me, what kind of person he is I know very well, as long as he is still in the day, the Gu family will only be the sharpest Yue knife in Dongyue"

Hai Dagong stood up when he heard Xie Ci, and secretly pondered this sentence, as long as he was still here? And if he's not there? After decades of ups and downs in the sea, the Grand Duke of Hai has long learned to think without revealing half a point, and said with a smile: "General Gu is naturally loyal to the emperor"

The old emperor glanced at the Grand Duke of Hai, and said with a smile in his eyes: "The little monkey went to Suizhou at this time, presumably because he had the intention of going to Nan'an, and asked the hidden dragon to follow him personally, and planned to secretly recall Canglong and Shadow Dragon, and at the same time recall all the masters of the Seven Residences, be sure to come to me before the Lancang River God enters Beijing, and this matter must not leak any rumors."

Dongyue explicitly ordered that eunuchs should not participate in politics and not hold power. But in fact, the three emperors of Dongyue were very fond of using eunuchs in recent years.

Grand Duke Hai was ordered to retreat, knowing in his heart that the old emperor was finally going to make a move on Si Tianjian. It's just that I don't understand why the old emperor is so concerned about Gu Tingcheng's whereabouts, and he also sent the Hidden Dragon Guard, the commander of the Hidden Dragon Guard, to personally follow him to Nan'an, which is now flooded.

The three children who grew up in the Heavenly King's Mansion had different personalities, and the old emperor was gloomy and ambitious in the world. Gu was born heroic and free, and he was a hero. The little eunuch Hai Dagong is introverted and good at figuring out people's hearts.

But the strangeness of the old emperor's mind is really the only thing to see in his life, and he has been with the monarch for decades and still feels that the old emperor still has three points out of his own intentions.

"Stay with the Princess"

When Hai Dagong heard the prestige, he saw King Ning standing in front of the corridor of the imperial study and smiling at him, knowing that he was waiting for him here. Hurry up and say goodbye.

"This king wants to go to Suizhou in person, but the public examination has not been completed, and I don't know ••••••"

Grand Duke Hai understood that this was to ask himself to come up with an idea, the emperor had a parallel matter, and he hated others guessing his mind the most, and this idea could not be made by himself. With a confession, he waved his sleeves down slightly, and left.

King Ning looked at the figure of Grand Duke Hai, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he clenched his fist behind him, and turned to leave.

When Dagong Hai heard the sound, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and King Ning was smart.
