75 Chapter 75

The two of them decorated a little and hurried back to the city.

The wind swept up the floating snow, dancing in the evening sunset, back to the city is already twilight, the tile tavern of all kinds of shops one after another pick up lanterns of all sizes to hang in front of the signboard under the eaves, brown halo orange like a galaxy to light up the large and small long streets and alleys.

The two rode side by side, shuttling all the way, prosperous and bright like a carp crossing the river, and they had each other walking by their side.

Facing the cool night breeze, the two of them also ate fried noodles at a roadside stall on the way, and it was already night when they returned to the Guogong Mansion, Xie Ci smiled, he took Gu Wan's hand, pushed open the door of his big study and ran in, and folded the official uniform and soft armor that had been prepared for a long time, and there was a dark red silk book on it.

This is a farewell.

The so-called confession, that is, the official appointment certificate, promotion and demotion are all used for the first time in officialdom. Xie Ci smiled and handed her the things.

At that time, on the treetops of the moon, a bright moonlight spread out on the wide open window sill like water, and in the large study, Xie Ci only lit a lamp on the bookcase, a circle of dim lights, and a large piece of silver-white moonlight.

Gu Wan was a little surprised, and took it to open it, only to see that there were several lines of upright letters written on the snow-white silk silk with red silk paste inside.

"Notice: Linyang Cheng Ni Haozhi, in office for several years, the quality is excellent, now move to the hussar general's mansion, and also lead the Jingzhao Mansion to govern the office, to the penalty. The ninth day of October in the forty-second year of Longqing.

In the lower right corner of the document, a bright red seal of the official is stamped upright.

On the verso of the body, the height and age are recorded in detail, "There are seven in twenty years, born in the fifteenth year of Longqing, five feet four inches long, thin, white skin and black hair, eyebrows, eyes like flat apricots, dignified and handsome, moderate and gentle."

Well, this appearance is quite similar to Gu Wan.

She was very smart, and at first glance she kind of understood what Xie Ci wanted to do.

The moonlight shone like water on her and the red silk in her hand, Xie Ci stood beside her, she looked at it, and he whispered: "I had Feng Kun to pass on the message that day, I don't like your wife Gu."

is talking about the time when I went to the palace to pick up Gu Wan that day.

Although this is the most normal title nowadays, I feel uncomfortable when I read it. Xie Men Gu.

Your wife Gu.

But Gu Wan is not the Gu family, nor is it the wife of the Gu family, Gu Guan is Gu Guan.

Holding hands all the way from the Iron Threshold Temple to the present, she is sassy and conspiracy to be free and easy, regardless of wind, frost, rain, snow and thunder and lightning, she stands out in the world, she is not anyone's vassal, she is her, she is Gu Guan, a person with a name and a surname, standing alone.

She has been dealing with a lot of matters openly in the past, but now she can't do it, and she is limited to the old emperor, but Xie Ci is not willing to do this, Gu

Guan adapts well, but he is unwilling to wronged Gu Guan squatting at home or pretending to be his guard every day.

She is so outstanding, she should be a figure like the founding princess Changping leading the army.

This is my own person, and I have spent a lot of time to screen it. Taking advantage of this big change, he brought Ni Haozhi up, the Hussar General's Mansion is their national mansion, and the opening of the mansion means that the name is justifiable, and the official position of having a subordinate official rank is coming, and the resignation adjusted the interior, and carried out a series of deployments outside, entrusting Gu Guan to the post of the Great General's Mansion of the Fourth Grade.

This is an official position in my own house.

As for the other part-time, Xie Ci also thought about it a lot, the Jingying Qinguan side is good, but the military camp is not very suitable for the daughter's body, and finally carefully selected this Jingzhao Mansion to govern the middle, it is an official from outside.

Because he doesn't want to have just form.

The night is silent, the evening sky is like a mirror, and he is a little happy, and a little apologetic, like a few family treasures, chattering: "I have wronged you, and I have to change my face for the time being."

Hopefully soon, he's going to have to work harder!

"When you don't go to Jingzhao Mansion, let Ni Haozhi go, he is already waiting in the mansion, he is very clever, you can go and see him first tomorrow. Don't worry about the others, it's already done,.. …"

Outside, the silver moon was bright and clean, and a large area was spread on the eaves tile pavilion and courtyard corridor, shining on the windowsill, shining on the faces and bodies of the two, and Xie Ci stood beside her, whispering, apologetic, with a shy shyness and the expectation of reward.

Gu Wan gradually looked away from the confession, looked at him sideways, curled the corners of his lips, and a smile overflowed in his eyes, ah, this gift is simply amazing.

Xie Ci whispered a lot, maybe he didn't summarize it clearly, but she understood it at once. In his heart, she is a person with an independent personality. Everything he thinks and does is a respect for her personality. That's what she is, he thinks. She should be like that, too.

In this era, he is like a candle flame, so precious, and belongs to her alone. On such a quiet night, Gu Wan tasted the feeling of being cherished in the palm of his hand. He didn't think she needed to, but he still held her with all his might, as carefully as he could, holding her in the palm of his hand.

The feeling in Gu Guan's heart, for a while, is indescribable, she is not weak, and she does not think that she is weak, but when she falls in love, she still has the feeling of being protected and cared for in the palm of her hand.

br/> thank you tonight, it's up to her.

Gu Wan was a little surprised, but also happy, the first time she got along with Xie Ci, she didn't take the initiative in a high position psychologically, she looked at him with a smile like a real eighteen-year-old girl, with a kind of joy.

She put the boudoir in her hand, and whispered, "I like this gift very much." "

When she spoke, she was smiling, her eyebrows and pink lips were curved, and her shiny and delicate almond eyes reflected the galaxy, like starlight in the sky, and she smiled, as if it was about to overflow.

Xie Ci looked at her with wide eyes, he also smiled, he suddenly felt in his heart, he seemed to have obtained something even more precious than a kiss.

Gu Wan's eyes crooked and he smiled, the galaxy poured out, she laughed, and raised the box in her hand, she really liked it.

Xie Ci's heart soared, a pair of magnificent eyes were particularly beautiful, he also smiled, smiled so much that he showed a mouthful of white teeth, and joy poured from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

Just, very happy, very happy.

Gu Wan smiled, put the box to his lips and kissed it, then looked at him, his ears were red, and his lips were curled. She chuckled, opened the box and the two sets of official mansions, put them inside, and then put the body directly in her arms.

The two held hands, pushed open the door, the night was silent, the moonlight spread out the entire huge atrium like water, Gu Wan jumped down the steps, looked up at the big and round moon, she said happily: "Today is very similar to August 15, I want to set off fireworks!"

When she was a child, she had to carry lanterns and set off fireworks every August 15, and she suddenly remembered.

There are no fireworks sticks in the house, but what does it matter? The two ran to the side flower garden, and a line of autumn maple was planted on both sides of the atrium

Pine and cypress, the second courtyard and the back cover building are more, standing in a veil, evergreen all year round.

The two of them looked for the thin and brittle branches of the pine trees, and looked for the ones with pine resin oil, cleaned the old pine trees, broke them off one by one, and then lit them with fire breakers.

"Zizi" Mars burns at the top, "Papapa" bursts from time to time, like fireworks sticks, the two of them hold one in one hand, lift it up, and watch the Mars splash.

The two of them laughed, played, made trouble, held up and watched, and one of them took two, playing and playing, he chased her, and she chased him, going around under the old pines and cypresses, and the sound of laughter filled the entire Sanjin compound.

These old pines and cypresses are already taller than the roof, and small trees grow under them, and they witness the growth of Xie Ci, watching him grow up, watching him be covered

Expelled and returned, watching him have a sweetheart, and now shuttling around them with the girl of his heart and laughing happily.

The north wind was blowing, and they were gentle, tenacious, silent, and still there. The two laughed and laughed, until midnight, the wind gradually cooled down, and Xie Qi took off his thick velvet cloak and tied it to Gu Guan's body.

The long dark blue suede hem dragged on the bluestone slab floor, the two held hands, climbed the steps in front of the main hall of the third rear cover building, "babble", thank you gently pushed the door open, an everlasting lamp, two red candles, three incense sticks, brownish boxwood on the long case, one large and three slightly smaller, four Nanmu tablets are dry and tidy, in a circle of yellow lights and candlelight, standing quietly, as if looking at them with kindness and love.

Before the long case, there were two futons, Xie Ci took Gu Guan, hand in hand, he lit the incense stick, bowed three times, Xie Ci also kowtowed three times, and then inserted the incense sticks into the brass incense burner together.

Xie Ci said softly: "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, Guanguan and I have come to see you again."

The strokes of the large tablet are clumsy and upright, as if the middle-aged man with silver hair but still burly and serious is watching him, even

There is no need to remember, the sound and smile have never changed in memory, it is his father.

There is also the eldest brother who is most like his father, he and the second brother and the third brother often complain that the eldest brother is more and more like a little old man, but in fact it is not, a heroic young man, Yue Zhi Yuanchun, he is more and more tall and majestic like his father, but he is a real eldest brother like a father.

The second brother is also the second brother, who smiles gently and amazes the time, and is always as warm as water to his family.

The third brother is the third brother who has a bad stomach and laughs and teases him, and when he grows up, he looks like a dog, and his excuses are annoying to him, but

After the third brother was admitted to the top prize and was assigned as an official, he didn't want to admit it, but he missed him a little. Although every time he writes to him, he wants to kill him.

Xie Ci took Gu Guan's hand, knelt on the futon, smiled, looked up, and gradually his smile faded, and finally, he clenched his fist and said seriously: "Dad, brothers, I will definitely tell the world your grievances!"

His father and brother, who thanked him, such a great man, why did he have to bear a lifetime of guilt and infamy for no reason? He will not allow it!

After visiting my father and brothers together, and after talking to my father and brothers, Xie Ci took Gu Wan's hand, gently covered the door, and walked out of the back hall.

In the second half of the night, the sound of voices faded away, and the long night became quieter. The two pushed the door out, and the stars in the sky were turning and flickering in this long silent and bright night.

br /> The excitement of the brilliant fireworks gradually calmed down, and the mood became quiet, and they sat on the steps and watched the stars.

The dark blue short brown hem, the dark blue suede cape, and the black fine armor are next to each other, the two also sit side by side, thank you for curling your lips, looking sideways at her quiet side face, leaning your head on her shoulder, so happy~

But as soon as he leaned for a while, he suddenly felt wrong, as if men and women were reversed! He quickly raised his head, glanced at Gu Wan quietly, then straightened his waist and sat a little straighter, quietly leaned over his shoulders, and reached out to help her head.

She tilted her head a little this way, but he was tall, and it was okay to make do so hard.

"Poof."

Gu Wan laughed, hahahahaha, laughed at her to death. She laughed maniacally.

The laughter jumped out of the courtyard crisply, and Xie Yun, Xie Zi and the others who were guarding outside glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile. After laughing, Gu Wan tilted to his side, okay, okay, let's let this guy be cool once, hahahahahaha.

The old Guogong Mansion stayed awake late at night, but it was laughter, but the atmosphere outside the mansion was not like this.

Heavy and glued, the wind is loud.

In the year of Xuzi, the throat of the Beijing camp was slit, and in full view, two high-ranking civil and military officials sent by the emperor were assassinated in public. The arrow cut through the throat, Xue Rongan's miserable howl was heartbreaking, and the blood sprayed by him and the war horse splashed a hundred meters in a radius, and the scene was shocking.

This is still in the Yunxiang camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

&

nbsp; The series of tumbling and fighting caused the whole of Zhongzhong to be bloody and rainy, and the whirlpool-like vibration of the court was a lot quieter from top to bottom.

Imperial City, Yuquan Palace.

Tonight, the stars and moon shined brightly, but this huge palace city was terrifyingly quiet, and even the footsteps of the Jinwu guards patrolling with swords were a little lighter than usual, especially when passing under the Yuquan Palace.

In the Yuquan Palace, only half of the lights were lit in the huge hall, and the ceiling paintings and the profound square algae were hidden in the gloom and darkness. The entire hall was shrouded by low air pressure for many days, and the palace eunuchs didn't even dare to breathe, and hung their heads under the corner wall.

Under the jade steps, there was a mess, the pen stand, the pen mountain, the inkstone, the ink ingot, the green incense burner, the cup and other things were all swept to the ground, and they were broken bones.

The old emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the jade steps were shrouded in darkness, making his angry face even more terrifying, Feng Kun! Lin Dongyang! Thank you! Li Yi!!

After days of high-intensity government overturning, the old emperor's eyes were red and bloodshot, and his expression was terrifying and hideous, especially when he said the last two names, word by word from the tooth gap

The sentence ran over, and it was full of blood.

Because of the power of the East Palace, Xie Ci directly revealed the previous disguise, and after Li Yi thought about it, he also did the same together, Feng Kun and these two people, and Lin Guozhang, the three parties tore the peace is a bloody battle, and the fight finally saved Yu Miaofeng and others.

But is that the end of it?

It's not over,

This is just the beginning of a bloody storm.

In this cold night of the first snow, the old emperor's hairs stood up one by one, and he fought for more than 40 years, fighting with the emperor's father, the prince, and his brothers, and then fighting with the power and vassal party who pushed his son.

Although he won a miserable victory, he also fought all the way, and in the middle of this old and tired night, he keenly and instinctively smelled a smell of blood.

——Before the big throat cutting case, no one expected that the two parties would dare to try to kill on the spot, which is something that neither Feng Kun nor Lin Guozhang has ever done since their debut.

This is the first time in history.

But it was such a bloody and unconventional behavior, and the old emperor suddenly smelled the root cause behind Feng Kun's wantonness.

——Wantonly break the rules of the game, faintly show that there are no more scruples! It's a covert killing.

Feng Kun has reached the top.

If you go one step further.

Usurpation, murder of kings, plotting for the dynasty?

Under the old emperor's rage, his mind was clear and calm like never before.

He calmed down for a moment, held on for a moment, and slowly sat back on the dragon couch.

The upper part of the jade staircase was half dim and half bright, and the old emperor was against the light, and no one could see his expression, but when he spoke again, he had already suppressed his anger, and the old man's face was extremely calm.

After a long time, he ordered: Lu Haide, pass the decree and summon Lin Guozhang into the palace.

"Also, when I sent a letter to Master Wen, I said that I was sick and wanted to see the teacher. The old emperor said, "Call Wu Boyi and Zhang Yuan and let them come in as well."

The Mansion of the State of Qi.

In Feng Kun's large study.

After the big rosewood bookcase, the crane wore a peony red brocade cushion chair, Feng Kun was dressed in a finely embroidered bright blue satin flat gold and jade python robe, and on the river cliff and sea pattern, the dragon fought for the phoenix, and sat on the Taishi chair with a slight boudoir.

In front of the big book case, Huang Xinyu said: "The emperor summoned Lin Guozhang to enter the palace overnight. After that, Lu Haide went to Wen Taishi's Mansion again, His Majesty said that he was sick, Wen Taishi didn't go at first, but in the afternoon, he finally entered the palace.

Feng Kun slowly opened his gaudy and fierce pairs

Dan Feng's eyes, the thin red lips hooked, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he said lightly: "It seems that our majesty has not yet completely decayed." ”

Like a great white shark, it smells blood all at once. and swiftly adopt the most powerful means and remedial measures.

The study was quiet, Yin Luo came back, he knelt on the ground and said: Xiangye, Kou Chong has escaped and is nowhere to be found. After many days of searching, there was no trace.

Feng Kun's face suddenly darkened.

He was ruthless, but the rewards and rewards he gave were also of the same rank, and his men were loyal and dedicated to their lives, and he hated betrayers the most in his life. Unexpectedly, there was a Kou Chong.

I just don't know, who is this Kou Chong, Lin Guozhang? Thanks? Or Li Yi? Yin Luo hesitated for a moment: "Xiangye, are you saying this thank you or ......not?" The power of the East Palace, under the sudden changes, finally fell under Feng Kun's command, but there was a thank you in the middle.

Is this Feng Kun? No!

Xie Ci recovered the power of the East Palace, and the upward momentum was too fierce, and even Feng Kun was sideways.

Feng Kun lowered his eyes, a small shadow under the gaudy Danfeng eyes, reclining on the Taishi chair, his feminine and fair-skinned facial features had a dormant sense of danger.

Is it really a coincidence?

Feng Kun sneered, the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, he never believed in coincidence!

It's just that he doesn't have enough ability, but he can't tear through the tense situation and bring down the East Palace, and he can't do anything; There are capable, but there will always be such drawbacks and sequelae.

A sharp knife will always have two sides.

Of course, having the ability is still a must.

If it was in the past, Feng Kun would have removed Xie Qi as soon as possible to prevent future troubles! It's just that right now, Lin Guozhang has been collected for the emperor, and Wen Taishi has also come out of the mountain, and Wen Taishi's exit from the mountain means that the top force of the neutral faction of the royalist party has made a move.

Feng Kun opened his eyes suddenly, hesitated for a moment in the removal and restriction, his eyebrows and eyes sharpened, and he rejected both! The sword pointed at the emperor, and there was no turning back from the bow, and he knew that he would not have a second chance.

That's all that matters!

Rewind to last night.

After Lin Guozhang entered the palace, he knelt down to greet him, and the old emperor stared at him coldly for a long time, and finally threw down a volume of edicts!

There's no way I'm going to pass the throne to Li Rong.

Li Rong, the fourth prince, as the person who accidentally discovered that Mu Guifei and Feng Kun had an affair, and immediately revealed to the emperor that Feng Kun had a heavy blow and has been in trouble to this day, Lin Guozhang is of course very aware of this

A little.

The edict is written very clearly, a hundred years after the old emperor, the fourth son of the emperor Li Yi, the snow-white silk white silk black characters, stamped with a jade seal, and there is also a secret witness to the edict written by the civil and military ministers.

In triplicate, one was collected in Yuquan Palace, one was handed over to the latter, and the last one was in the hands of Lin Guozhang.

Very formal.

Lin Guozhang was overjoyed, his mind was racing, and he immediately knelt down and bowed his head: Minister's decree, thank you! The king is the minister, and the subordinates should do their best for His Majesty, and then die! In the Yuquan Palace, Lin Guozhang held the Ming and Huang holy decrees, and immediately paid a big salute, and did not hesitate to bow down to the old emperor!

And for Wen Taishi.

The wheels were rolling, galloping through the palace gate and the white marble square, until it was under the Sumeru pedestal of the Yuquan Palace, the curtain of the car was lifted for a while, and an old man with white hair slowly got out of the car.

Lu Haide had already personally led the little eunuchs to wait, Pang Huai was also there, he raised his head and glanced at Master Wen, Pang Huai bowed down, and Wu Boyi, Zhang Yuanrang, Yi Zhongling and others, who had arrived one step earlier, had already come out to greet him.

Wen Taishi is the teacher of the current emperor, more than eighty years old, and the personal finger of Emperor Yingzong in the past is regarded as a minister of orphans. Yingzong is the grandfather of the old emperor, after the death, the first emperor reversed the old emperor's crown prince position and set up another East Palace, he was able to persist and accept the Yuan Hou family to surrender, thanks to the support of Wen Taishi, and later succeeded to the throne also had Wen Taishi's full support.

Wen Taishi was a leading figure in the neutral faction within the royalist party, and even the leading figure of the entire royalist party. -- Within the royalist party, there are also a considerable number of people who are unwilling to participate in party struggles, which can be called centrists. After Xie Xinxin's father and son were convicted and beheaded, this group of people was silent a lot. But today, Master Wen was silent for a long time, and finally came, step by step to climb the big steps of Yuquan Palace.

Inside the main hall, the old emperor is no longer violent, the golden and brilliant furnishings in the hall have been withdrawn a lot, his face is sallow, and he has a white ice handkerchief tied to his head, lying on the wide dragon couch in the inner hall, when he saw that the Taishi was in a hurry to struggle and sit up, Teacher! Teacher——

He was full of tears, and rarely showed a little restraint.

——Since the death of Xie Xinxin's father and son, Wen Taishi has not entered the palace again, the emperor can't summon him, and the old emperor personally went to the Taishi Mansion He also said that he was sick and fell asleep and couldn't see him, and the emperor couldn't help it.

I hadn't seen him for several years, and the old emperor burst into tears and held Wen Taishi's hand tightly.

Of course, the old emperor is right to make a bitter meat plan, but he is not really pretending to be sick, he is blind in one eye and his legs are not good at walking, he has been exhausted for many years, his skin is loose and his face is old, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, no need to pretend to be sick, he

Now his face is flushed and sickly hot, and his body is much thinner and smaller than before.

He cried so old that I was crying, I, I, teacher, I was wrong! I shouldn't have been suspicious of good ministers back then! But now, now, teacher, you don't know that such a rebel has ......

Later, Wu Boyi, Zhang Yuan, Yi Zhongling and other royalists who had been fighting to protect the emperor had already knelt on the ground at the first sight of the old emperor's illness, and the monarch was sad and mournful; And Pang Huai and the others who came behind Wen Taishi couldn't help but fall to their knees in silence.

The atmosphere of grief and indignation in the inner hall of the entire Yuquan Palace was shrouded.

Wen Taishi exhaled three times in a row, but the emperor who was in tears in front of him, he finally slapped his hand heavily: "Emperor, emperor! You have to promise me that I will change it after this time, and I will not repeat the mistakes of the past!

Although Wen Taishi knew that the emperor probably couldn't change it, even if he was willing to change, he probably wouldn't be able to last too many years, and the emperor's thin hands were even older and colder than him.

But at the last moment, Master Wen still came out of the mountain!

Wen Taishi was an elder in the three dynasties, and he set the sea god needle, and as soon as he made a move, the entire court was determined.

Led by Wen Taishi, the royalist die-hard faction and the neutral faction were combined into one, engrossed in it, vigorous and resolute, and vowed to defeat and uproot the party led by Feng Kun!

Lin Guozhang quickly sided with the old emperor.

On the other side, Feng Kun, who is already faintly above Lin Guozhang, and Xie Ci and Li Yi below him. The two sides quickly formed a tense confrontation. The Mansion of the State of Qi, inside the large study.

The faint incense breath slowly spit out in the gilded crane beak incense burner, but the huge room was solemn and tense. Feng Kun sat at the top, while Xie Ci and Li Yi were the first on the left and right, and there were many people in the room, but they were silent. The winter days are short, and after the sunset sinks, the waiter does not dare to come in and hold the lamp to interrupt, and the room is a little dark. Feng Kun's eyebrows were cold, but if he was surprised, no, the situation was also within the scope of his previous deduction.

They were talking about the Tang King.

The King of Tang, that is, the King of Tangshan, the younger brother of the old emperor today, is a very important part of the power under the old emperor Luan. Feng Kun had already faced Lin Guozhang and Wen Taishi head-on, and he planned to take Li Yi with him.

As for King Tang, he wanted to give this focus to thanks.

This is a case of abdomen that has been there for a long time.

Feng Kun hooked his lips and looked at Xie Ci, he leaned over slightly, his magnetic gorgeous and slightly sharp voice, and said to Xie Ci: "Do you know who executed your father and brother?

Xie Xinxin's father and son were not executed in public, and they were executed

Is it the inner beheading field of the Dongda Prison, as for the executioner?

Xie Ci sat quietly in his chair, and he said, "I know, it's King Tang."
