Chapter Twenty-Six: I Don't Believe [Ask for Collection Recommendation]
The people were overjoyed to hear the news that the prince was going to get married, although they might never have the opportunity to go to the royal capital and see the prince or the king of Shu in their lifetime. But this is not only a family affair of the royal family, but also a state affair of Gu Shu.
Is it because the people are starting to worry about the country's affairs? No, most people, no, the vast majority of people have feelings for their family and country. But the reality makes them only pay attention to whether they are well fed and warmly dressed. And once the royal family takes great pains to carry out the festival and the royal marriage, it will definitely promulgate some methods to enjoy with the people and celebrate with the whole world. Tax reductions, the release of some prisoners whose crimes are not so big, and the increase in the township examinations, the curtain examinations, and the palace examinations, which are the most important for scholars.
Let some students who did not take the exam for special reasons get a chance to not have to wait for three years according to the traditional rules. Another point of humanity is to allow candidates who have failed to take the test before, of course, not all candidates who have failed the list have this opportunity. These people who are qualified for the second exam are selected by the original examiners.
Therefore, the people are also happy for this kind of thing to happen, and if they can, some people even hope that this kind of thing will happen every year. Such a grand event will not only benefit the people, but also the people who will get the greatest sweetness.
It's a legitimate gift-giving opportunity, and they're all trying to please their bosses. Not to say soaring, but it must be an opportunity to take a big step forward.
There was less than a month and a half before the wedding of the eldest prince Gu Xingyu, and the envoys of the vassal states generally arrived in the royal capital a week in advance. Before the wedding begins, there will be a reception banquet, where the countries will choose people to fight each other, and the lottery head is the tax on goods traded across borders.
Recently, Gu Xingyu has been very inflated, and he is about to receive a soft hand. And what made him soft was the stacks of gift lists, which showed what a huge number of gifts he would receive. Although these gifts will slowly be rewarded to his subordinates at that time, he is very face-saving now. People rely on clothes, horses, and saddles, for the sake of face? Second sister, second sister, look at how you still show off your power in front of me. I still naively want to be a female prince, not to mention that I don't agree, even my father won't agree.
Gu Xingyu was playing with a jade carved unicorn in the room at this time, and a subordinate suddenly came to inform him that Tan Wu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, asked to see him. Gu Xingyu frowned, at this time, it was not good to supervise the affairs of the sedan chair for Prince Ben, and he even ran out to see me?
"Let him wait in the hall. ”
"Yes. The subordinate stepped back, and before he could turn around, he bumped into a person's arms, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Tan Wu. Frightened, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty, Tan Wu waved his hand, and the little guy fled with relief. He was not afraid of Tan Wu, but he was afraid that the eldest prince would punish him for his rude behavior, after all, their royal highness the prince was not an ordinary face-loving person.
"Weichen Tan Wu, see His Royal Highness the Great Prince. ”
"Shouldn't Lord Guo give you the task of making a sedan chair? Why, Lord Tan is here to tell me that the sedan chair has been made?"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the drawings have been designed. The cloth is also found in the palace before the palace sent to the country of Rouran to study the embroidery girl Juanxiu, and then prepare the wood, it can be completed within seven days. ”
"Why did you come to Prince Ben before you finished?" For this Tan Wu in front of him, Gu Xingyu didn't like it very much. The Ministry of Industry is the card in his hand, but among the people under this card is Tan Wu, a serious and pedantic person. The master who doesn't eat soft and hard, but Gu Xingyu still has to endure him. Because the delicate relationship will allow Tan Wu to play a very important role in a major decision in his future.
"It's about wood. ”
"This is a matter that your Ministry of Industry is familiar with, what are you doing with me, do you want me to prepare wood for your Ministry of Industry?" Gu Xingyu wanted to say for a moment, do you want me to prepare a coffin for you?
Guo Shangshu asked Wechen to use the hundred-year-old golden silk nanmu, so Wechen came to His Royal Highness the eldest prince to confirm whether there was the king's will. ”
Is Guo Zixian crazy? The hundred-year-old golden silk nanmu, which is the heart of Gu Weishan, the king of Shu, has always been placed in the most luxurious warehouse of the Ministry of Industry. But soon Gu Xingyu calmed down, although he was a little afraid of upsetting his father because of the baby, but he was the one who would ascend the throne and become the king in the future. The entire Gu Shu will be his, and the treasures in the material library are not for him to use?
"There is no clear decree, there is a verbal message. Do you still need this prince to repeat it to you?"
"No need, if the eldest prince doesn't have any other instructions, Weichen will retire. Tan Wu retreated, of course he didn't expect to see the so-called will, but he still had to come to confirm, at least if something happened in the future, he would have something to say. However, looking at Gu Xingyu's reaction before, he could also guess that the eldest prince didn't know about it at first. Guo Shangshu is really crazy enough, he has not yet established Gu Xingyu as a young monarch, he began to curry favor with Gu Xingyu so crazy.
At the moment when a part of the golden silk nanmu was transported out of the material warehouse, a black shadow disappeared in the distance.
......
The current Shushan Sword Sect is also very lively, from the beginning when there were occasional disciples who came to Zixuan Peak to look for trouble, and now the elders take the lead in blocking the door of Zixuan Peak to find trouble. Second Elder Lin Feng was no longer in the Sword Sect many years ago, and it was the first big disciple he had received in his early years who was in charge of things on Huangyan Peak, and he had come back after going down the mountain for many years.
Wuying, who was the sixth elder, was not there, and the fifth elder Ye Qi was also biased towards the Great Elder because his personal disciple was the granddaughter of the Great Elder. And doing things that are harmful to Gu Zhengcheng is what the fourth elder Gu Tu is most willing to see, so Gu Tu also joined the team of the Great Elder. The head of the sect has been in retreat for many years, which also gives Great Elder Gu Xing a reason to act.
That is to say, of the four existing elders of the Shushan Sword Sect, only the third elder is not on the side, but because she and the sixth elder are very close, in the hearts of the other three elders, she is actually on the side.
The third elder Zhu Yeqing was also domineering, and he didn't even bother to explain that he directly triggered the poison array, enveloping the entire Green Shadow Peak in the poisonous gas. She only listened to the boss, because it was the boss who took her in back then. is willing to help Wuying, because Mi Xiang, this girl, has indeed been taken care of by him, and it can be seen that he really likes Mi Xiang, a simple girl, and the other elders can't be birds.
Because of the existence of the poison array, Mi Xiang was also left in the Green Peak, in fact, Mi Xiang was nourished by the medicinal bath of Zhu Yeqing for so many years, and it was already invulnerable. But because she didn't want Mi Xiang to wade into the muddy water under the mountain, she didn't tell her. Ruthlessly, Mi Xiang begged herself every day to allow her to go down the mountain to Zixuan Peak to help.
"Senior Brother Gu, why do you have to do this, we just went up the mountain to verify some things, even if the Sixth Elder is here, it is impossible to stop us, what are you still insisting on here?" Wen Mo sneered and said to Gu Zhengcheng, who was kneeling on one knee.
At this time, there were no less than dozens of sword marks on Gu Zhengcheng's body, and a few of them were even visible to the bone. Not only were there external injuries, but there were also internal injuries that had been slapped by the Great Elder before. It can be said that he is now running out of oil.
Gu Tu looked at Gu Zhengcheng, who was so embarrassed, and couldn't help but mock: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, step down." Although no one likes you, it's better to die than to live, if you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless!" He can't do things that damage his reputation.
"Gu Zhengcheng, do you know why your master left with no diligence?" Great Elder Gu walked in front of Gu Zhengcheng. Stretched out a hand to lift Gu Zhengcheng's chin, and didn't care about the blood flowing on his hand, just stared at Gu Zhengcheng with eyes like a knife.
"They are running away, because Wuying has committed a crime, an unforgivable sin for the entire Shushan Sword Sect!"
"I don't believe it. Gu Zhengcheng's tone was very flat, and there was no angry yelling. After saying that, he spat on Gu Xing's face, then slowly closed his eyes and grinned, all the teeth exposed were blood-red. You won't blame me for the master's failure to defend the mountain gate, right? But I also kept my promise, if an outsider wants to climb Zixuan Peak, he must step on my corpse!
"I'll let you die a decent death. Gu Xing shook his head, but he was a little jealous in his heart, why was his apprentice so desperate? Obviously, there were more animals than people on Zixuan Peak, why should he? Look at the big disciple beside him, I am afraid that he is still playing with himself as a monkey at this time.
"Wenmo. ”
"The disciple is here. ”
"Let him die a decent death. ”
"Yes!"
Wen Mo shot quickly, and the sword light flashed, breaking all the tendons and tendons of Gu Zhengcheng, and also injected a sword qi, abolishing Gu Zhengcheng's martial arts.
Without waiting for Gu Xing to speak, Wenmo knelt down in front of him without saying a word, and Gu Tu suddenly came over: "Great Elder, this person is more useful to live than dead." And I asked Wenmo to do this, which is the meaning of the one in the royal capital. This is very vague, and most people's first thought must be the King of Shu.
The worse Gu Zhengcheng is tortured, the happier he will be, and the brighter Gu Tu's future will be. Gu Xing didn't speak after hearing this, and left with a cold snort.
