"Then did the general say what was the urgent matter?"
Gu Changan asked casually.
"General Xuanwu said that human life is a matter of heaven and earth, but human life is nothing more than a meal for adults."
"Hiss, you boy, human life is at stake, it's a big deal after all, bring him to see me."
Gu Chang'an thought for a while.
Perhaps for those senior officials in the imperial court, a mere human life has nothing to do with their own interests, and it is just a grass on the side of the road.
But Gu Changan is not a local after all, respect for life is engraved in his bones, of course, the enemy is excluded.
The boy never understood the lord's occasional sympathy, but since the master ordered it, he had no choice but to do it.
Undoubtedly, the general will still remember his kindness.
Just as he finished eating the meals Mrs. Mo sent, the figure of General Xuanwu appeared at the door of his study and waited.
"Send these things down, and I'll have a few words with him."
Gu Changan said softly to Mrs. Mo.
The latter knew that the next topic would be between the two men, so he obediently took the remaining empty plates away.
Give the two of them a space to be alone.
"General Xuanwu, it's been a long time. The last time we met was probably three months ago, when the autumn wind was victorious..."
"My concubine offended me a lot before, please don't take it to heart, Mr. Wang is here to make amends!"
The majestic general in front of the Xuanwu Gate knelt on one knee and clasped his fists. Anyone with a discerning eye could feel his humiliation.
Gu Changan was not in a hurry to help the other party up, since the other party wanted something from others, he might as well give the other party a chance to speak.
"Specifically, if you want me to help you with something, just talk about it, but if you say it, I may not necessarily help, but there is a certain chance."
Gu Changan said something ugly.
After all, in the past three months, the two have not even had any relationship with some basic politeness, nor can it be said that the relationship is very good.
Even standing on the sidelines would make sense.
"My lord, my majesty... in the next moment, I foolishly stole the orb from the palace. It is too late to wake up now. I would like to ask my lord to speak kindly in front of the emperor and return the orb."
"After the work is done, even if you are a cow or a horse, the little one will repay the favor of the adults!"
Stealing treasures from the palace is a serious crime, not to mention the dignified General Xuanwu. If someone exposes him, it is not as simple as an official hat, and it is likely to implicate the family members behind him.
"It's really courageous. You stole a stone in the palace, which is the crime of deceiving the emperor. What's more, you dare to steal the orb. It should be an incident, so you just figured out a way to get on my head Come up and find a remedy."
Gu Changan said coldly.
"Yes... But the small one was not intentional, His Majesty accidentally dropped it on the ground, picked up the small one, and forgot to return it..."
After General Xuanwu spoke, his tone gradually weakened, obviously not confident.
"It's ridiculous! My dignified General Xuanwu shouldn't have this kind of virtue, right? Why would he do such a shitty thing now? Could it be because of the woman in the family?"
"It's none of her business. It's really because the little one was obsessed with ghosts for a while and couldn't hold back the greed in his heart. That's why it's like this."
"Fart, if it wasn't for that woman, how could you have given up your face to do such a lowly thing? If it were in the past, even if I borrowed your courage, you would not dare to hide every brick and tile of the palace. Now ... I really can't tell the big things from the small things, is that Hu Meizi really so charming?"
Gu Changan said angrily.
The anger had already begun to be suppressed in his tone.
This is not only related to the interests of General Xuanwu alone, but also involves the impression of the entire circle of generals in the eyes of the emperor.
There is a folk saying that a rat droppings ruins a pot of porridge.
Now Xuanwu clearly wants to be a mouse dropping in the pot, to muddy the pot of porridge.
"My lord, this matter is a foregone conclusion, that's why I came here today to have the audacity to ask my lord for help..."
"Shit, if I help you with this matter, wouldn't it make the emperor suspect me too?"
Gu Changan said angrily.
Although he is said to be Prime Minister Wu praised by everyone in the capital, countless lessons in history have taught him that even if a courtier is favored in the eyes of the emperor, if he is not careful one day, he will fall into the abyss the next moment.
The so-called companion is like a tiger, this is not just a simple talk.
"Then... what should I do?"
Although Xuanwu had already expected the result, but now that it happened completely in front of him, he was still a little at a loss.
During this period of time, since he married the woman in the brothel, he has been in a daze.
Many colleagues joked that he might have married a fox demon, which ruined this body.
It's just that he couldn't laugh at all.
Like that day, this woman just casually said that she was envious of other wives' beads.
But he only thought about that one bead in his mind all day long, and accidentally let himself meet the one dropped by the emperor.
This led to the present evil result.
"It's just wishful thinking..."
Xuanwu said in a miserable voice.
Back then when she married that woman from the brothel, she knew that she was not sincere to him, it was just that she was vain and fancy his money.
And in this world, who is not married to a woman from a brothel?
Xuanwu may have seen through all this from his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it.
He has a fiery heart, but it is still difficult to unseal the three feet of ice.
The woman was more in awe and dependence on him, so naturally she couldn't talk about love at all.
People will be more eager for things that they can't get, especially those things that are within reach but actually out of reach. That's why during this period of time, Xuanwu will be depressed, and his heart will always be that woman. figure.
Or maybe the latter has the means to make a man dream about her for so long, and even knowingly commit such a stupid thing.
"The matter has come to this, you should go to the palace and surrender yourself, and try not to implicate us."
Gu Changan said.
Officials are ruthless, and inhumans are ruthless.
It is impossible to say that after Xuanwu pleaded guilty, Gu Chang'an could still have the cheek to plead for him.
……
……
Chapter 373 Meet the Ancestor
Xuan Wu didn't get the result he wanted in Mo Mansion, so he had to go back in a bad mood.
After Gu Changan sent him away, he only felt his head was big.
This thing doesn't go out sooner or later, but it happened at this special time.
The battle on the Qixian Kingdom's battlefield was initially decided, and it was rare for the world to be peaceful, and all the generals returned to the capital from the border.
In troubled times, most people rely on generals to guard the border, but now in peace, they must rely on those civil servants to guard the world.
Jiangmen returns to Beijing, which also indicates that they are about to enter a period of peace.
No longer guarding the border, most of the generals' rights in the military camp will be taken back at least half, and what's more, they may have no real power at all.
At this time, their eyes will naturally be fixed on the regime in the court.
How can an official without power be better than a general without a sword?
But this piece of peaceful land in the capital has always been the domain of civil servants, and there is only one-third of an acre of land in the imperial court, and all of it has been divided up.
If the general who broke in suddenly wanted to touch this interest, it would not only touch the interests of a certain person, it would be closely related to the entire civil servant group.
But as we all know, among the generals, most of them are illiterate bosses.
How can this group of guys who don't know a single word compete with those civil servants who have been involved in conspiracies all day long?
So those somewhat inconspicuous family letters were written into the memorial, also to attract the emperor's attention and distribute some real power to them.
It can be said that it took great pains for Jiangmen to fight for his own position in this three-acre land in the capital.
However, the incident of Xuanwu happened today, and the emperor found out, and his impression of the whole general's favor may be greatly reduced.
Although Xuanwu does not belong to the border guards, he is also stationed in the capital all the year round like those civil servants.
But the generals belonged to a family, and if such an embarrassing incident happened, it would be enough for those eloquent civil servants to make trouble.
This is also the crux of Gu Changan's headache.
……
Thousand Lotus Peak.
"You are already the candidate for the head, so you can know some things in advance, but after you leave this door, everything will be rotten in your stomach, so don't dare to spread nonsense."
Yuan Tingshan led Liu Qianyin to the Golden Lotus Pond.
Gu Changan was carried behind his back by the latter, as if he had fallen asleep, breathing steadily.
"I know, after I have traveled for 30 years, I will take the position of head teacher of Qianlian Peak."
Liu Qianyin said flatly.
"What? I feel wronged you? Do you know how many people want to sit in this seat but can't? They say it's inappropriate for a brat like you, but the ancestor likes you, so there's nothing you can do about it."
Yuan Tingshan said.
In fact, in his own opinion, even though Liu Qianyin is suitable for the position of head, both his qualifications and his current age are too young. Logically speaking, he should practice outside for a few years before making a decision, and he should not be so anxious.
But the old ancestor has personally ordered, even if he is the head of the sect, he can only do things according to the orders.
"What's the point of staying between these broken mountains for dozens or hundreds of years? It's better to go to the rivers and lakes to see the world. That little girl won't follow me to the Taoist sect. I want to leave her to Gu Chang'an. "
Liu Qianyin said suddenly.
"Are you willing? That's your first disciple."
Yuan Tingshan glanced at him and asked.
"I promise you, as long as Gu Chang'an is sent to the Golden Lotus Pond, I will be the head of Qianlian Peak. Once a man speaks out, it's hard to chase, but Ruru, with her temperament, will definitely not be safe here. In the mountain gate, it is better to let her follow Gu Changan, and when she misses me in the future, go back to the mountain to have a look."
After going through the psychological warfare these days, Liu Qianyin became more open-minded.
"It's up to you, the little girl on the left and right is not my disciple, but the disciple of my grandson..."
Although Yuan Tingshan said he didn't care about it, he still felt a bit regretful when he thought of the little girl who seemed to be quite talented that day.
The three of them passed the old Taoist temple and came to the deepest backyard.
The backyard is closed with a door. The door looks like an ordinary wooden door, but it cuts off the scenery of Qianlian Peak thousands of years ago and the future...
"Master, I have already brought people here."
Yuan Tingshan stood in front of the wooden door, he didn't reach out to push it hastily, but said respectfully.
Liu Qianyin had only seen the majesty of this old man in other places of Qianlian Peak, and had never seen him so respectful, which was really strange.
"Let him bring the divine body, you wait outside the door first."
After a while, a lazy voice came from the wooden door.
Liu Qianyin heard the heavy feeling of time.
"go in."
Yuan Tingshan made a way out. With Gu Changan behind his back, the former hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. When he entered the backyard, he felt a golden light suddenly flashing in front of him.
The door behind him closed slowly again, and after Liu Qianyin regained her eyesight in an instant, she only saw an old man in front of a golden lotus pond, wearing a loose Taoist robe, with white beard and white hair, but he looked It seems that he is not as old as Yuan Tingshan.
"You came?"
The old man turned his face to look at Liu Qianyin, who was carrying Gu Changan behind his back, and then turned around again, with his back bent and his withered hands holding a bamboo pole, as if he was fishing, but he didn't even have a fishing line .
"It seems that he is somewhat similar to the boy Liu back then, and his talent is not bad. It seems that we can't go wrong choosing you as the head."
The old man chuckled, happy for his choice.
