Chapter 290: Fiefdom
"Fiefdom?"
Gu Shen was a little surprised, although he was now named Marquis of Wu'an, but it was only a title, unlike Pingxi Hou, Gu Shen could be said to have no real power in his hands.
But now, the imperial court actually wants to give him a fief, which really surprises Gu Shen.
Huang Gonggong smiled and said: "Master Hou, Your Majesty can be said to be very fond of you, after hearing that you woke up, Your Majesty wanted to come to see you in person, but at that time, Your Majesty had just ascended the throne and was entangled in affairs, so it has been delayed until now." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Shen said.
Immediately, under the leadership of Huang Gonggong, Gu Shen came to the palace and met the former crown prince and the current human emperor, Ji Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wu'an will meet you." There is a eunuch circular.
Hearing that Gu Shen was coming, Ji Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Hurry up!" ”
Soon, Gu Shen walked into the imperial study and saw Ji Yuan, who was wearing a dragon robe, with a majestic face and high spirits.
The Ji Yuan in front of him is indeed very different from not long ago, when he was the prince of the East Palace.
The rebellion of the eldest prince really changed the prince a lot.
It is said that people's personalities will change after experiencing life and death, and it seems that what they say is true.
"I've seen Your Majesty." When he came closer, Gu Shen hugged his fists and gave a salute.
Now although Ji Yuan has ascended the throne and is called the emperor, seeing the emperor not kneeling is the privilege given to Jing Tiansi by the former Xia Emperor, everyone is used to it, and Ji Yuan will not say anything.
"Gu Shen, how is it, how are your injuries?" When Emperor Ji Yuan saw Gu Shen, a thick smile also appeared on his majestic face all day long.
His attitude towards Gu Shen is still the same as before, and he hasn't changed much.
Gu Shen said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister's body is already fine." ”
"It's good to be healed, and there is no root cause of the disease, right?" Ji Yuan asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, no." Gu Shen shook his head.
The new emperor Ji Yuan said: "Gu Shen, on the night of the eldest prince's rebellion, you fought to the death, and the array was also in your eyes, I am not a person who does not miss kindness, so you don't need to be so polite between you and me, just treat each other as friends, this is the privilege I give you alone." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ji Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I gave you a gift, do you still like it?" ”
Gu Shen said: "The minister has heard that thanks to Your Majesty, the minister's injuries can improve so quickly, and the martial arts cultivation has also taken a step further. ”
"Don't thank me, you deserve it." Ji Yuan said: "Actually, I wanted to see you some time ago, but I just ascended the throne and was too busy, so I haven't been able to get out of it." ”
"Of course, it is thanks to you that I was able to ascend the throne." Ji Yuan looked at Gu Shen with a smile.
The country can't be without a king for a day, now that the Xia Emperor is missing, life and death are unknown, the whole world is already known, and the throne cannot be empty all the time, and it is natural for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
"Your Majesty called me over this time, I don't know why?" Gu Shen asked.
"Sit down first." Ji Yuan ordered someone to give Gu Shen a seat, and then said: "I called you over this time to discuss the fief with you." ”
The fiefdom means that Gu Shen has real power in his hands and can participate in the country's taxation, which is not a trivial matter.
"I intend to give you the swallow land, I don't know what you think?"
"Yandi?" Huang Gonggong on the side was a little surprised when he heard this.
Yandi, located in Dongzhou, is the ancestral land of the previous dynasty of Great Xia and the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty.
With its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, it is a rare treasure with a permanent population of 30,000 households.
Gonggong Huang also never thought that His Majesty would be so atmospheric now, and without saying a word, he rewarded Yan Di to Gu Shen.
Not to mention anything else, the annual tax alone is enough to make Gu Fu earn a lot of money, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Gu Shen also knew about Yan Di, he never thought that Ji Yuan would actually reward Yan Di to himself, he pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, is this reward a bit heavy?" ”
Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Is it heavy?" I feel lighter! If it weren't for the chaos today, I would have a better place for you, but in the current situation, Yandi is already the best choice, and I'm afraid that you will dislike it. ”
"This ......"
Seeing that Gu Shen was still hesitating, Ji Yuan's face sank, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Why, in your eyes, my life is so cheap, only worth so much?" ”
"Okay, since Your Majesty is so insistent, then the minister will thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Gu Shen stood up and gave a salute.
"I said, you don't have to be so polite, just be casual between you and me." Ji Yuan said.
"Okay." Gu Shen nodded.
"Not long ago, I have ordered someone to build a mansion for you in Yandi, you set off from Tiandu in the past few days, and when you arrive, the mansion must have been built, you can also take your family, your second uncle's family to take a look, and you should enjoy the mountains and rivers." Ji Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth and said slowly.
When he was with Gu Shen, everything else was very casual except for the title.
Afterwards, Gu Shen and the new emperor Ji Yuan talked for a while, and after having lunch in the palace, Gu Shen left here, and he went to Wang Yan's house to worship Wang Yan.
After leaving Wang Yan's house, Gu Shen went to the Liangguo Mansion again, met Lu Xinlan, worshiped the Liangguo Gong, and then visited Song Yu.
After this trip, when Gu Shen returned to Gu's mansion, it was already approaching evening.
After coming back, Gu Shen told the news of his fiefdom to his second uncle Gu Chengfeng's family.
"What?! Dalang, do you have a fief? ”
Gu Chengfeng obviously also knew the difference between a nobleman with a fief and a nobleman without a fief, he was shocked and said, "It seems to be too ...... Your Majesty now really values you, and it was not in vain that day that you fought to the death. ”
For an old man like Gu Chengfeng, when it comes to His Majesty, he is still used to the original Emperor Xia, and sometimes it is inevitable that he will be called wrong.
"Yandi, I heard it's a good place, it seems to be close to the sea, right?" Aunt Xu Qing'e said.
"The sea?" When Gu Qingyan heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "I've grown so big, I've never seen the sea, big brother, can I go with you?" ”
Aunt Xu Qing'e also looked at Gu Shen with a yearning expression, obviously, even she was a little moved.
At this time, Gu Chengfeng frowned and shouted: "You two women don't make trouble on the side, Yandi is far away in Dongzhou, and there is a distance from Tiandu, if you take the two of you, I don't know how long you will waste on the road." ”
"That's it......" Gu Qingyan heard this, her delicate and beautiful face was full of disappointment, and she sighed slightly.
Gu Shen looked at his aunt and cousin, the faces of the mother and daughter could not hide their loneliness, seeing this, Gu Shen smiled and said, "Second uncle may make time?" ”
Gu Chengfeng was a little surprised, and said, "Da Lang, what do you want to do?" ”
"Let's go to Yandi together as a family, it's just a play, after all, Auntie and Qingyan should have never been out of Tiandu, right?"
"Really, big brother, can I really go?" Hearing that she could leave the heavenly capital, Gu Qingyan was suddenly very excited, her beautiful eyes rippled, and she stared at Gu Shen without blinking.
Gu Chengfeng frowned and said, "This ...... Time is okay, but Dongzhou is quite far away from Shenzhou, your aunt and Qingyan, two women's families, can you hold on to it after running so far? ”
"Don't worry, we're fine." At this time, Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan's mother and daughter spoke in unison, and after speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, extremely delicate, like two sister flowers.
Even Gu Shen sincerely envied the blessing of his second uncle Gu Chengfeng, not to mention having such a beautiful wife, he actually had such a beautiful daughter.
The reason why he agreed, Gu Shen also has his own considerations, now with his fame in the world, every move will be watched by countless people, if Gu Shen goes to Dongzhou alone, it is obvious that he has a mission, and the enemy is likely to be suspicious.
Qin Wu asked him to investigate secretly, not to startle the snake, since this is the case, then Gu Shen found a reason, on the grounds of playing and exploring the territory, to go to Dongzhou, although it will still be noticed by people with intentions, but the vigilance will inevitably not be greatly reduced.
Of course, more importantly, he saw his aunt Xu Qing'e and his sister Gu Qingyan's yearning for Yandi, even Gu Chengfeng, who had opposing opinions, actually Gu Shen knew it, and the second uncle also wanted to go very much.
"Since that's the case, it's settled, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning to go to Yandi."
Gu Shen said, looked at Gu Chengfeng, and said, "Second uncle, over there of the Imperial Sword Guard, do you need me to help you talk about it?" ”
"No, you don't."
Gu Chengfeng waved his hand, now with Gu Shen's fame, Gu Chengfeng has also become a celebrity in the Imperial Sword Guard, and his status has risen with the tide, he wants to ask for leave, it couldn't be easier, and the commander of the Imperial Sword Guard will gladly agree.
Immediately, everyone packed up their things tonight, after all, they had to spend a long time on the road, and it was the first time for aunt Xu Qing'e and sister Gu Qingyan to go far away, and this time they packed up until late at night.
When they woke up the next morning, both mother and daughter were extremely sleepy with panda eyes.
Fortunately, with Gu Shen and Gu Chengfeng here, the second uncle personally spent his internal breath and crossed into the mother and daughter, and their expressions suddenly became energetic.
"Let's go!"
With an order, the carriage moved forward slowly, and this time it was only the maid Xiaoyu and a coachman who followed Gu Shen and them to Yandi.
After all, the Gu Mansion of Tiandu also had to leave people to guard and clean up the dust every day.
As for the guards, with Gu Shen here, where do you still need to ask for guards?
Soon, the carriage slowly drove out of Tiandu, and half a month passed.
At first, just coming out of Tiandu, Gu Qingyan and the maid Xiaoyu were very curious about everything, and poked their heads out of the carriage from time to time, looking left and right, if it weren't for Gu Chengfeng's repeated orders, Gu Qingyan would jump out of the carriage from time to time and enjoy all kinds of scenery along the way.
However, when time passed slowly, and by the thirteenth day, because all the eating, drinking, housing and transportation during this time were in the carriage, aunt Xu Qing'e, as well as her sister Gu Qingyan, and the maid Xiaoyu, their expressions all withered.
Gu Shen and Gu Chengfeng are both martial artists, and the two of them are naturally fine.
As for the coachman, he has long been accustomed to the tireness of traveling, and the same is true.
"I said a long time ago, I don't want you to come, you want to come, I can't stand it after walking less than half the way, what should you two do next?"
Gu Chengfeng said yes, but he still kept sending the internal breath in his body to his wife and daughter, and the complexion of the mother and daughter gradually improved.
Seeing this, Gu Shen flicked his fingers, and a volley of fingers entered the body of the maid Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu's complexion instantly returned to ruddy.
"Thank you, Dalang." Xiao Yuqiao's face was slightly red, and she said in a coquettish voice.
"Big brother, you don't care if I'm good or not, my father is much worse than you." Gu Qingyan's face was pale, and she looked at Gu Shen as if asking for help.
When Gu Chengfeng heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he snorted lightly, but he didn't say anything.
After all, now, Gu Shen's cultivation is indeed far beyond him.
Seeing this, a smile appeared in Gu Shen's eyes, he flicked his fingers, and suddenly two fingers punched into the bodies of his aunt Xu Qing'e and his sister Gu Qingyan's mother and daughter.
The complexion of the two of them also improved in an instant.
"It's still a big brother." Gu Qingyan's smile was like a flower, very bright, and she once again regained her previous liveliness.
When Xu Qing'e heard this, she pursed her lips and chuckled, even she thought so.
Gu Chengfeng twisted his head to the side, his face darkened, and he didn't speak.
At this time, suddenly, a feeling of palpitations came, especially Xu Qing'e, Gu Qingyan and Xiaoyu, who were ordinary people, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily, and a deep fear emerged in the deepest part of their hearts.
Gu Chengfeng's complexion changed instantly, and his eyes looked at Gu Shen for the first time.
Gu Shen frowned, he saw that not far away, there was a sturdy figure standing there, with a long knife behind his back, the momentum around his body was extremely condensed, and there were bursts of light shining all over his body.
This sense of oppression and qi turned out to be a martial arts master of the Great Perfection of the Hundred Tricks Realm.
The person who came was the master of the Heavenly Sword Gate, Yang Ling!
