Chapter 74: Master and Apprentice Night Talk (2)

Gu Fen nodded and said, "I've sent some people to Luoyun, but after thinking about it, you might as well go home." ”

The night pearl bloomed quietly on the lampstand, the afterglow sprinkled in every corner of the room, Su Ci looked at Gu Fen in a daze, his encounter with Gu Fen was not so complicated.

It's more because of the ancestors, his grandfather, the official language should be great-grandfather, and Gu Fen's grandfather used to be an official in the same dynasty, and they were also friends, at that time it was still the reign of the ancestral emperor, the ancestral emperor tried to replan the order of heaven and earth, reshape the land of Kyushu, so the world cut down the sky.

Su Ci's great-ancestor went to war with the army, Gu Fen's grandfather was an important strategist under the command of Emperor Zu, the two had cooperated, one night, an assassin entered the camp, Su Ci's great-ancestor rescued Gu Fen's grandfather, but he also fell into sequelae, and finally died.

Later, the Gu family also took care of the Su family, and even Su Ci's grandfather also rose to a high position because of the care of the Gu family, and finally won the favor of the famous imperial general General Meng Da and became his deputy general.

After that, the Su family was defeated and almost wiped out, but it was the Gu family who helped the Su family settle down in Luoyun.

Therefore, the Su Gu family has been around for sixty or seventy years, and when Su Ci came out of Baizi Academy half a year ago and was about to go to Xilin Academy with his excellent results, Gu Fen appeared.

Then he was accepted as an apprentice under the witness of the elders, so in Su Ci's view, most of their master-apprentice fate still enjoyed the afterglow of their ancestors.

The Su family followed Linguo a hundred years ago, and Linguo at that time was called the Western Linguo by the people of the Eight Kingdoms, because at that time, Linguo was biased towards the western part of Shenzhou.

The Su family followed the emperors of the Linguo Kingdom to expand their territory for a hundred years, but once they were defeated and almost wiped out, so the grandfather of the Su Temple was very disappointed with the current Dalin.

Su Ci was not even allowed to enter the court as an official, but his father had high expectations for him, still hoping that he could win glory for the family and embark on the road of official career, and he scolded his grandfather for saying absurd words.

The young Su Ci was caught between the two and struggled to choose, and he tried to ease the relationship between his father and his grandfather, but in the end he was persuaded by his father.

Because his father told him something about his grandfather's youth, about their family, and since then, his admiration for his grandfather has been zero, but his grandfather is still very kind to him.

It's just that Su Ci's father said that he only flattered them because he saw the unlimited potential of Su Ci.

His father wanted him to enter Xilin, and his grandfather did not allow him to join the army, nor did he allow him to practice Haoran Qi, which is why his practice was not Haoran Qi, but the fire of the earth.

However, with his father's permission, he still secretly practiced Haoran Qi, and after worshipping Gu Fen as a teacher, his grandfather couldn't stop it anymore.

Hearing that the teacher had sent someone to Luoyun to protect his family, a warm current rose in Su Ci's heart, and after half a year of getting along, he and Gu Fen were already extremely familiar.

He hurried to Baihe in order to ask the teacher to resign and go home, but he didn't expect that his teacher had already considered this step before him and was waiting for him here.

A lot of thanks, turned into two words.

Hearing the word full of heat in Su Ci's tone, he stretched out his hand and patted Su Ci is, staring at him with eyes as elegant as the clouds in the mountains and saying, "You must know that we all have high hopes for you." ”

Su Ci heard a lot of such words, and his elders seemed to like to say this to him, but his family was fine, and he didn't know the rest, what kind of high hopes were there?

Although the Gu family is not as strong as before, as long as there is a teacher, it can be worry-free within a hundred years.

In fact, he knew that the teacher had some plans, but he never told him.

Now he couldn't help it, so he asked, "Teacher, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Gu Fen was silent, looked at the night again, and said, "I'll talk about this later." ”

Su Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Then shall I leave tomorrow morning or tonight." ”

Gu Fen said calmly: "It's not good to walk at night, and I'll go again tomorrow." ”

Su Ci nodded and said, "In addition, I want to ask the teacher, why did Your Majesty appoint me as the Donglin Patrol Envoy?"

Gu Fen asked lightly: "In your eyes, what kind of person is His Majesty the Emperor now?"

It is a capital offense to talk about the emperor in vain.

But Gu Fen asked so simply, Su Ci didn't even think there was anything wrong with this, thought about it and said, "He not only has a hard wrist, but also has courage. ”

Gu Fen smiled slightly and asked, "Tell me how hard his wrists are, how can he have courage?"

Su Ci felt that he should be able to say a lot next, and his mouth would inevitably be dry, so he picked up the tea behind him, first poured a cup for Gu Fen, and then drank it with the teapot himself.

Although Gu Fen is strict with rules, he is definitely not pedantic, and he has long been accustomed to Su Ci's behavior.

"From the disciple's point of view, His Majesty's accession to the throne is by no means a simple testament of the first emperor, but all the officials in the dynasty more or less know that when the first emperor was on the throne, he didn't like King Qin, but he liked King Qi even more, but it was King Qin who ascended the throne in the end,"

Gu Fen said calmly: "The battle for the throne has become a common thing, as long as the winner can benefit the people, it is a good thing." ”

Su Ci nodded, this is indeed a common thing in Dalin, even the ancestral emperor took the throne from his brother, and then Emperor Ming and Emperor An, and now King Qi and King Qin, are all the same.

But coincidentally, it seems that it is always the younger brother who robs the elder brother's throne.

Gu Fen meant to tell Su Ci not to talk about these nonsense, so Su Ci directly inserted the topic and said: "Your Majesty's first holy decree when he ascended the throne is to let Uncle Shi go to Northern Qi and participate in the literary event. ”

His uncle is Gu Fen's senior brother Jia Wanzhi, and the world says that he is familiar with Confucianism and Taoism, and he is a strange genius who is not born in the world.

Gu Fen nodded lightly, and Su Ci continued: "But according to the etiquette law, when the master enters Tibet, he should be the successor of the master in three days."

, since he is participating in a literary event, Uncle Shi should succeed to the position of master and then go to the north, but His Majesty is in a hurry,"

Su Ci hesitated a little, and what he said next was too betrayal.

Gu Fen said: "Today, there are few people who can overhear something from your teacher. ”

Su Ci smiled and said happily: "I still don't understand why Uncle Shi accepted His Majesty's will to go to Northern Qi, he should know very well that the first emperor and the world are subject to Xilin Jiuyi, Your Majesty ascended the throne, and the first fire was of course sprinkled on Xilin." ”

Gu Fen sighed and said, "The cause of Senior Brother's death, I still don't know, what kind of person can make Senior Brother unable to leave a clue. ”

"The teacher really doesn't know?" Su Ci looked at Gu Fen in disbelief.

Gu Fen suddenly molded out his round wooden stick from his cuffs, knocked it on Su Ci's head at once, and said with a bit of scolding: "Are you suspicious of me?"

Su Ci hugged his head and admitted: "The students don't dare." ”

Then he said, "Gu Fen slowly put away the wooden stick.

Su Ci said, "I think this must have been done by His Majesty, after all, Uncle Shi is gone, he is the happiest, and Xilin was also caused by him to fall into civil strife." ”

Regarding the cause of his uncle's death, of course, the Northern Qi took the blame, and finally because of this incident, the two countries fought for nearly a year, and the emperor sent troops with the help of Xilin's strength, and the Northern Qi finally ceded the land and sued for peace, and the whole country apologized to Xilin.

Of course, it was not the Emperor of Northern Qi who carried the blame, but the Northern Qi Sword Saint who carried the blame, because in Northern Qi, only this person had the strength to kill Jia Wanzhi.

Although there are many people in Xilin who ask the Sword Saint for an explanation, the Sword Saint has always only had three words: "It's not me".

None of the people who went to the Sword Snow City to avenge Jia Wanzhi came back alive, and then the matter was over, and to this day, the cause of Jia Wanzhi's death is still a mystery.

When Su Ci first heard about this, he was amazed and couldn't help but admire the young Son of Heaven's ability to take advantage of the situation and use his strength, of course, these premises are that he thinks that Jia Wanzhi died at the hands of the emperor.

Su Ci said: "Immediately after that, Your Majesty took advantage of this great victory to clean the court, and took advantage of the civil strife in Xilin to rebuild the abandoned Donglin since Emperor Ming,"

When the young Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he threw down three fires, disturbed Xilin respectively, subdued the Northern Qi, and rebuilt Donglin, until Donglin had begun to stabilize, and Xilin regretted it too late.

Not only that, but then the emperor also sprinkled a fourth fire and led Gu Fen into Kyoto, but Gu Fen rejected the emperor on the grounds that Emperor An had set when he established Xilin that he could refuse to accept the holy decree, and said that the reason why his senior brother accepted the decree was because the Qi country he went to was a matter of the Confucian Temple.

The emperor's fourth fire did not ignite, and then Donglin contained Xilin, and until this year, the position of Xilin's master was still vacant.

Su Ci doesn't plan to talk about this fourth fire, if his teacher enters Kyoto, then Xilin is bound to be even more chaotic, and now Bai Zhouxing, the head of Jia Wanzhi, who is in charge of Xilin, Su Ci also knows that Gu Fen doesn't want to fight with Bai Zhouxing for the position of master, but the emperor wants to force him to fight.

Because of these reasons, the emperor and Xilin are staring at Gu Fen, and now he has become Gu Fen's apprentice, and at the same time, he has also been pushed to the forefront, Su Cihe is like a deer, he is a person who cherishes his life, and he is naturally afraid of death if he cherishes his life.

calmed down the agitated mood and said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne with the momentum of wind and thunder, and pulled Xilin, who had been trapped in the royal family for many years, into an abyss, and he also got the inheritance of Emperor Ming, Donglin, and the students didn't believe that this was something he could control alone. ”

Gu Fen knew what his disciple was thinking, it was not a good thing at all to be suddenly appointed as the Donglin Patrol Envoy by such a person, and it was also uncomfortable to follow such an emperor who played conspiracy all day long.

Gu Fen said: "Your Majesty appointed you as the Donglin Patrol Envoy with my consent. ”

"Huh?!" Su Ci exclaimed, "Teacher, why?"

Gu Fen took a step forward, as if walking towards the night, and said, "I think about it, Xilin and Donglin shouldn't fight each other like this anymore." ”

Su Ci was almost shocked by this sentence, and said, "No, so teacher, you just leave such an unreliable thing to your beloved disciple to do?"

Gu Fen thought about it and said wistfully: "It's a little unreliable." ”

Su Ci swallowed a sip of tea and said, "Then there is a teacher like you, digging a pit for your own apprentices." ”

Gu Fen said: "So because the internal qi in your body is chaotic and disorderly, the master is planning to pass on Wanchuan Gui to you, since you don't even dare to do this challenge, this mental method is not needed." ”

Su Ci immediately spit out a sip of tea and said seriously and firmly: "Teacher, I can, I can, I can." ”
