Following.

Gu Mingzhu was woken up.

When the first rays of sunlight shine on the temple in the morning, the bells on the mountain never stop.

She tossed and turned on the bed until she was sure that the clock would not stop, and then she resigned herself to getting up.

Pushing open the door, the fragrance of the mountain breeze greeted her, sweeping away her resentment of being forced to get up.

At the same time, under the steps of the mountain temple, Gu Xiurong and Xiao Qiongwu were coming with food boxes.

When they saw Gu Mingzhu and the others, the sky was already bright, and the clouds and mist in the mountains began to dissipate.

The two of them were having a meal.

Qiong Wu watched the two of them sitting together from a distance, vaguely felt that something was wrong, and said, "Young Master, when did Miss become so familiar with Xu Shizi?" ”

Gu Xiurong said with a smile: "Naturally, it should be familiar, Mingzhu has an extra brother like A Jue, it is not a bad thing after all." ”

Gu Xiurong walked forward: "Ah Jue." ”

The people in the pavilion turned their heads at the same time.

"Brother?" Qiong Wu touched his head in confusion, and he didn't have time to catch the strange feeling that flashed by, and hurriedly followed Gu Xiurong's steps.

Gu Mingzhu took the lead and went to pick up the food box with a smile: "Brother." ”

Gu Xiurong said: "I brought you some food." ”

He sat down next to Xu Jue, the two looked at each other and smiled, Xu Jue said, "What's the delay?" ”

Gu Xiurong said: "I met Zuo Xiang on the road yesterday and delayed the hour. ”

"Li Yi? What was talked about? ”

Gu Xiurong said: "I chatted about some things, and I also talked about the recent incident in Jiangling. ”

Xu Jue put down the teacup, thought for a while, and said: "Li Yi is deeply relied on by the emperor, and he is also the teacher of the Five Princes, he is willing to take the initiative to talk, and it seems that he is quite optimistic about you." ”

Gu Xiurong pondered: "Now that the court is chaotic, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, I heard that yesterday in the imperial study, the emperor discussed with several ministers to build a Changyin Palace in Los Angeles. ”

Gu Mingzhu was pouring tea for Gu Xiurong, and when she heard the words, the tea splashed on her fingers.

Xu Jue's eyes were slightly dark, and he naturally took the teacup, poured tea for Gu Xiurong again, and looked at him: "Changyin Palace? ”

Gu Xiurong said: "Los Angeles is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is a good place to escape the heat in summer. ”

Xu Jue was silent, and after a while, he said: "Building a palace will cost the people and money, if the treasury is vacant, how can there be extra money to build the palace." ”

Gu Xiurong said: "Therefore, some officials proposed to raise the household tax. ”

Xu Jue's face sank: "Household tax? The household tax has overwhelmed the ordinary people, and they dare to raise it? Who mentioned it? ”

"Left Phase."

"Li Yi?" Xu Jue frowned: "Isn't he old and confused?" ”

Xu Jue stood up violently, as if he was leaving.

Gu Mingzhu was startled, and he didn't care that Gu Xiurong was beside him, so he stretched out his hand to pull him: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to ask Li Yi if he has been sitting in the position of Xiangye for a long time, forgetting that there are still many people living hard! Increase household tax? It's up to him to come up with this idea! ”

Gu Xiurong also stood up and said, "It's too late, the emperor has already agreed, just yesterday evening." ”

Xu Jue's face was cold and angry: "What a bastard!" He's destroying himself! ”

"This matter has been handed over to Feng Zhen of the Ministry of Industry, and construction will start in Los Angeles immediately."

Gu Mingzhu had let go of him, but he didn't say a word, and his face was no better than Xu Jue's.

Because, in history, the construction of Changyin Palace indicates that the main replacement of the new generation of Kyushu will be replaced, and it also means that Yun Zhao's identity will float before the world.

History is ahead of schedule and chaotic, but whether it is chaotic or advanced, all kinds of signs are showing that all of this is pushing Yun Zhao to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

In the previous life, he had the Gu family, and he married Li Ruyue into the door, and in this life, he had the Qi family, Li Ruyue......

Li Ruyue likes Yun Zhao, and it is not an airtight thing.

Gu Mingzhu poured a full cup of tea with a calm face.

In the messy information here, I suddenly thought of Xu Jue's father, the current king of Dingbei, Xu Wei.

The news of the construction of Changyin Palace was a big blow to Xu Wei, who was already seriously ill, and he was stimulated by this, but he died in a few days.

If the Changyin Palace is to be built now, then Xu Wei will die soon......

Gu Mingzhu suddenly looked up at Xu Jue, he was standing aside, talking to Gu Xiurong about the Changyin Palace.

"Can't build a ......," Gu Mingzhu said involuntarily.

The two looked at her.

Gu Mingzhu's expression was faintly mournful, and he said: "Changyin Palace can't be built ......"

Gu Xiurong said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense, you can't build this kind of thing, it's not what you should say from a girl's family." ”

Blatantly refuting the emperor's words, the Gu family has ten heads that are not enough to cut off!

Gu Mingzhu couldn't stay any longer, she stood up and went back to the house without looking back.

Closing the door, inside the room, Gu Mingzhu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

She sat down slowly at the table.

What to do?

Xu Wei, he is Xu Jue's father!

After Xu Wei died of illness, his wife also went away with Xu Wei.

Xu Jue lost his parents overnight, what a blow it would be to him!

In this world, he has no more relatives.

Let the emperor take back the order to build the Changyin Palace?

The profligacy in his later years has reached the point of arbitrariness, he pushed the entire Dali country to the mouth of the stormy waves, and before Yun Zhao ascended the throne in his previous life, he suppressed the rebellions in various places with an iron and bloody fist, and stabilized the precarious departure from home.

There's no way he's going to take it back!

Gu Mingzhu thought secretly.

There was a knock outside the door, which interrupted Gu Mingzhu's thoughts, and then Gu Xiurong's voice sounded: "Sister." ”

Gu Mingzhu calmed down her breath and got up to open the door.

Gu Xiurong and Xu Jue stood at the door.

Gu Xiurong saw that her eyes were a little red, and said, "Angry? My brother didn't mean to murder you, but in Jiangling, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, you can't say this today, if it is heard by someone with a heart and used to make a big fuss, then the Gu family will really come to an end. ”

Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "I'm not angry, I just think the emperor didn't do it right." ”

What a child.

Gu Xiurong shook his head helplessly, and said, "Don't talk about this, let's go, catch fish." ”

It's still very hot today, but the mountain behind this Jiming Temple is a burst of bright happiness.

The crystal clear water of the lake twisted around several rocks, and under the shade of the huge trees, the three of them caught a few fish.

Qiong Wu had already picked up a pile of dry wood and was lighting a fire to prepare the grilled fish.

Gu Xiurong lay comfortably under the shade of the tree, talking to Xu Jue, and was silent unconsciously.

Xu Jue turned his head and saw that Gu Xiurong was already asleep.

Qiong Wu hurriedly explained: "Childe didn't sleep until the second half of the night last night, got up early, and didn't sleep well. ”

Xu Jue shook his head and looked for Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu was sitting on the rocks by the stream, wearing the straw tree hat that Gu Xiurong had knitted for her, she took off her shoes and socks, and swung her feet into the water.

Sensing the person behind her, she turned her head to look and found that it was Xu Jue, and couldn't help but say, "Why are you here?" ”

Xu Jue took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves and jumped into the water, but the stream did not reach his thighs.

Xu Jue stretched out his hand towards her: "Don't worry, Xiu Rong is asleep." There's a pearl fish in the back of here, I'll take you to see it. ”

Gu Mingzhu quickly looked in the direction of Gu Xiurong, and saw that Gu Xiurong was indeed not moving on the rock, Qiong Wu was concentrating on grilling the fish, she took his outstretched hand, and Xu Jue easily carried the person on his back.
