Thousands of Miles of the Same Wind + Fanwai

At this moment, the chaimen is closed tightly, as if there is no one in the pavilion.Zhong Liran ordered his servants to wait in place with the horses and chariots, but he took Gu Siyuan's hand and walked towards the pavilion.

"Just follow me and call someone later." Zhong Liran said so, and came to the chai gate.When he was one step away from chaimen, the chaimen opened without any wind.Gu Siyuan was a little surprised, followed Zhong Liran, and stepped into the Caimen.

As soon as you enter Chaimen, all the camellias you saw outside the thorn bush just disappeared, and you can see a cobblestone path leading to the pavilion, with green vegetable fields on both sides.

There are big white radishes, yellow cauliflower, young onions and garlic sprouts, as well as other herbs, leeks and the like.Gu Siyuan turned his head in surprise and looked back, only to see that the bush of low thorns turned into a two-meter-high wall of thorns at some point.

She seemed to vaguely understand that this was the residence of a certain Taiyi Taoist monk.

Zhong Liran seemed to have gotten used to the strangeness, and led her up the cobblestone passage to the entrance of the pavilion, bent down and saluted, and said, "Grandmother, I beg you to see me."

Zhong Liran used the word "burn", in the state of Chu, juniors had to call themselves Biaozi in front of their elders.

A lazy voice sounded in the pavilion, "I knew you were here, come in quickly." With permission, Zhong Liran led Gu Siyuan into the pavilion.

As soon as Gu Siyuan entered the pavilion, he followed Zhong Liran for several steps and came to the corridor.A corridor, in front of the eyes is a pool of hot springs, braving gurgling heat.The rockery in the hot spring is rugged and separated from each other, blocking a lot of sight.

Zhong Liran didn't even look at the hot spring, he led Gu Siyuan through the corridor, and walked straight to the backyard of the pavilion.The backyard of the pavilion is a large fruit forest.There are mostly orange trees in the woods, and the rest are grapefruit trees, pear trees and so on.

Among the shadows of the trees, there was a faint sound of hoeing and digging.The hoe was digging the soil, Gu Siyuan looked curiously at the fruit forest, and vaguely saw a few figures in Tsing Yi.

Zhong Liran took her by the hand and called out, "Grandmother, how long are you going to be busy?"

A woman's voice came from Guolin, "It will take a while, if you are not in a hurry to go back to the palace, help me dig some soil." Zhong Liran replied "Oh", she said, and lifted the hem of her coat , into the belt, and then walked to all kinds of farm tools placed under the eaves.

Seeing how proficient she is, Gu Siyuan looked at her curiously for a while.Zhong Liran took a hoe she could wield, walked past Gu Siyuan, and said, "There is a collection of books in the aunt's pavilion, it's on the left side of the front hall, you go and have a look first. I'll help her do some work, It will be fine in a while."

Gu Siyuan said: "I will go with His Majesty."

Zhong Liran raised his head, glanced at her, and said, "Tie up your sleeves and skirt, and come with me."

Gu Siyuan nodded, and together with Zhong Liran took a small hoe and walked into the fruit forest.It was spring, which happened to be the time to fertilize the orange trees in the forest.Along the way, the soil around many orange trees has been refurbished, and the one in front has been applied with ash and fertilizer.

The two walked a few steps, and the sound of hoes getting closer.Gu Siyuan followed Zhongli and saw a green shirt hidden in the dark green from a distance.After walking a little further, I finally saw the man in the green shirt clearly.

It was a woman with a beautiful face, wearing the green shirt that Taoists of the Taiyi Temple used to wear, and her long snow-white hair was tied neatly in a circle of red rope.Holding a hoe, the woman was digging the soil around the orange tree in front of her. When she saw Zhong Liran approaching, she stopped, put her hands on the handle of the hoe, looked at Zhong Liran who was approaching with slightly lowered eyes, and said: " I went to burn incense for your mother and came back, what happened to the wound on the forehead?"

Zhong Liran gave a salute, and replied: "Returning to my aunt and grandmother, it is true. The injury was accidentally knocked on."

Although Gu Siyuan didn't grow up in Yuanzhou City, as a lady, she didn't miss any genealogy that should be remembered.The great-aunt Zhong Liran was talking about must be Emperor Chu Ming's sister.Among Emperor Ming's sisters, the only one who believed in Taiyi and got such a blessed place to retreat to the countryside was Zhong Lidai, the former chief minister.

Zhong Lidai was the former Grand Commander of Chu State, and now the master of Grand Commander Zhong Liyu, and also Emperor Lie Wu's direct sister. 40 years ago, the barbarians invaded Lanzhou on the border of Chu State and captured countless cities in a row.In order to annihilate the barbarians in one fell swoop, Emperor Lie Wu, who had just ascended the throne, poured out all the power of the country, launched a war against the barbarians that lasted seven years, and finally drove the barbarians to the central area of ​​Subei.

But this war brought a catastrophe to the people of Chu State.The war was time-consuming and labor-intensive, squandering the state treasury of Chu State. During the war against barbarians, when floods broke out and submerged the two prefectures of Zhongwan and Wanzhou, the treasury was unable to support the people, resulting in the death and injury of nearly 50 people.

Not only that, Emperor Lie Wu lived extravagantly and desperately, regardless of the life and death of the people, and built palaces wantonly.After the battle against the barbarians was finally over, they did not give the people a chance to breathe, and built several fleets to send missions to sea in order to seek the medicine of immortality.

Such an innocent emperor was eventually overthrown by a wise monarch.Emperor Ming of Chu, who was still King Canglan at that time, set off a hurricane on the border of Lanzhou in the name of Emperor Qing.At the same time, Zhong Lidai, who was still the young commander at the time, sat idly by with Supervisor Tiansi.In such a combination of inside and outside, Emperor Lie Wu was finally forced to abdicate to the then King Canglan.

This King Canglan is the late Emperor Chuming.After Emperor Lie Wu abdicated, he was conferred the title of King of Clouds, but he died in depression after ten years, leaving only his eldest son as the successor.The current regent Zhonglihui is the eldest grandson of the deposed emperor Liewu.

When Emperor Chuming wanted to establish an heir during his reign, Zhonglihui, the king of Yunzhong, had the most appeal.But Zhong Lihui did not become the king of the world in the end, and the one who won the world was the ignorant and childish Zhong Liran that no one could have imagined.

And Zhong Liran was able to get the throne, all thanks to the former chief minister in front of him, Zhong Lidai.It was Zhong Lidai who presided over the ceremony, inquired about the will of heaven, and obtained the will of the Eastern Emperor for Emperor Chu Ming, making Zhong Liran the emperor's grandson.

But now that I think about it carefully, would an old emperor choose a young and powerful prince for his young queen, or would he want a young grandson who died?

The answer is obvious, so where is the destiny?

Even so, Zhong Lidai still admires this grandson who single-handedly put him on the throne.It was all because the child had asked Zhong Lidai a word after wearing the god's crown for the first sacrifice.That was the first sentence that Emperor Wenkang asked Taifu when he was young-how to be a good emperor.

From this sentence, Zhong Lidai saw Zhong Liran's destiny.Therefore, after the death of Emperor Ming, Zhong Lidai retired from the position of Chief Commander, and ordered his disciples to assist Zhong Liran well.

Zhong Liran has only been on the throne for two years, he is very powerful, and he is more capable in handling things.For this reason, not long ago, a courtier wrote a letter requesting the young emperor to be in charge, which caused a big disturbance.

Zhong Lidai had heard about this matter a little, but now looking at the injury on her forehead, she vaguely understood what was going on.The emperor is old, and there is a group of people above him who are suppressing and controlling him, so it is normal to want to be free.It's just that the means are so radical, Zhong Lidai realizes that he still underestimated her.

Zhong Lidai glanced at the wound on her forehead, and said, "I'll give you some medicine later." She knew Zhong Liran's sense of proportion, and turned to look at Gu Siyuan who was following her, her heart skipped a beat, Fang asked : "You came to me and brought me a helper. What's the name of the girl?"

Gu Siyuan has been watching from the sidelines, and when he heard his name, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "My lord, my servant is the lecturer of Hongwen Museum, Gu Siyuan."

Zhong Lidai nodded, and said: "Siyuan, what a name." She looked at Gu Siyuan's face carefully for a while, and then asked, "Are you Gu Tingyu's daughter?"

Gu Siyuan replied: "Exactly."

Zhong Lidai suddenly thought of her grandmother, glanced at Zhong Liran who was beside her from the corner of her eye, and said, "Your grandmother, is Mr. Chu Weilan, the former deputy director of the Hongwen Museum? It's no wonder that you are so young You will be able to pass the examination of the Hongwen Museum and serve the country." She smiled and said a little narrowly: "I have no official position now, so don't call me my lord, let her call me my aunt."

Hearing this, Gu Siyuan turned his head to look at Zhong Liran who was standing aside with a serious expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "Yes, aunt."

A smile appeared on Zhong Lidai's face when he heard the words, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, help me hoe the ground, this spring is not waiting for anyone. The spring fertilizer needs to be applied early, otherwise this year's harvest will be delayed."

Zhong Liran said yes, and led Gu Siyuan to a tree of oranges in the corner, rolled up his sleeves, and silently turned the hoe to dig up the soil.

Gu Siyuan followed her, and saw her digging the soil with a hoe, her small face was tense, and she was extremely concentrated.She thought about it for a while, suppressed the doubts in her heart, found an orange tree beside Zhong Liran, and started to do it too.

When Gu Siyuan was young, he stayed with his grandmother, often holding a small hoe to serve the flowers and plants in the porcelain pots.But loosening the soil for flowers is completely different from fertilizing fruit trees for farmers.But after a while, her hands were sore and weak, and she leaned on the hoe to straighten her waist.
