The first male queen [crossing]

After two years, when Xiao Yuan returned to Chang'an with his army, the common people would all wait and see along the way to see this young general who unified the world.

The six generals who followed Xiao Yuan to conquer the world were all rewarded. In addition to being awarded the title of Great General of the Zhu Kingdom, they were also conferred titles of Marquis and worship generals, and rewards were given to the mansions.

And because Gu Junci saved Xiao Boxu at the first tree planting, and made great contributions to the savior several times in the war of unifying the world, he was also named the Duke of Protecting the Country, bestowed with the sword, and the iron certificate of the alchemy that can avoid the death penalty. The scenery is the same.

As for Xiao Yuan, as the Generalissimo of the World's Army and Horses, he reversed the defeat and unified the country, but the official titles and titles that can be rewarded can no longer be further improved, so Xiao Boxu set up the Tiance Mansion, and named Xiao Yuan the Tiance Admiral and the world's military officer. First, the government can set up official positions as needed and recruit officials without reporting to the imperial court.

Not to mention the Crown Prince's displeasure with this decree, even many ministers in the court wrote to oppose it, bluntly saying that the establishment of Tiance Mansion was a provocation to the crown prince, and Xiao Boxu took back his order.

However, Xiao Boxu said that since the beginning of Xiao Yuan's army, he has never lost a single defeat. He can only command the army with no one else, and he has contributed to the unification of the world. Naturally, he can afford the title of General Tiance.

After that, Xiao Boxu ordered Xiao Yuan to send someone to personally supervise and recruit all the officials in the mansion.

It's only August, and the weather has gradually turned cooler. It seems that today's coolness came a little too early.

Ever since Yan Huai and the others had their own mansion, Gu Junci's mansion has become much quieter.

However, he was not idle. He saw many orphans displaced by the war along the way, and he brought them back to Chang'an as much as he could. There was no more war in the imperial court, and all the generals on the border had been dispatched. Now Gu Jun resigned as The Lord Protector took some idle positions as civil servants, so apart from the fact that he had to be present at the court meeting, the rest of the time was naturally idle at home, and then taught the group of children to read and practice martial arts, preparing to join the army in the future, or take it for their own use.

The eldest of this group of children is no more than eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is four or five years old. Now there is one count as one, and they all study in the secluded courtyard of the Duke's mansion.

Gu Junci, on the other hand, placed Zhang Taishi's chair on the porch, drinking tea and eating snacks, watching over the group of children.

Ah Chun followed the scholar into the courtyard without disturbing the gentleman, but walked along the veranda to Gu Junci with his eyes closed, looked around, and then said:

"Young master, no, sir."

Hearing the word master, Gu Junci hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at Ah Chun incredulously, and pursed his mouth in disgust: "If you think that I am no longer a son at this age, I can bear to call me my lord." started."

Ah Chun smiled, and then said: "My lord, someone outside this door came to hand in a post saying that the begonias in Qingyun Temple outside the city are blooming well, and I want to invite you to Qingyun Temple. There is also a post saying that a new house has opened in Chang'an City. In the Baishan Building, the chef can cook a lot of dishes, and he invited the young master to the banquet, and he also said..."

"Wait." Gu Junci quickly interrupted his words, looked directly at him and said, "I'm only invited, but did you invite Brother Xu and the others?"

Ah Chun smiled: "Then Xu Hou took his wife back to Yunzhong to worship the ancestors, and Yan Hou also went back to Zhuozhou with Wu Hou. The only one left in Beijing is Yu Hou. No matter what, this Yu Hou is no match for our son. You."

Gu Junci looked at him without blinking.

Ah Chun hurriedly said: "That's right, young master has become the protector of the country at a young age, and there is no one to look after the rear manor. Naturally, these people want to curry favor with our young master, by the way, to get married."

Gu Junci frowned. When it came to dating, he immediately thought of King Su's marriage to Xiao Yuan. At that time, he was very angry. If Xiao Yuan knew that he was going to have dinner with others, would he be angry? Raise a knife and enter the Duke's mansion.

A smile suddenly appeared on Gu Junci's lips, and then he got up and said, "Ah Chun, you have withdrawn all the posts except Qingyun Temple, and you should stop by Yuhou's mansion and tell him I invited him to Qingyun Temple and asked him to join me."

Although Ah Chun didn't know why, he still went out of the house according to the order of taking care of Junci.

In front of the Duke's Mansion, Gu Junci tied his hair with a jade crown, a short hairpin with a hollowed-out and carved hairpin, and he was wearing a crow-blue robe, which set off his tall and straight figure. He even carried a bit of might, with a leather belt around his waist, and a dagger, a sachet, etc. that he usually used.

Seeing Yu Shiyao approaching, he grabbed the saddle ring and got on the horse, his movements were neat and unrestrained.

Yu Shiyao looked at Gu Junci's appearance with a reluctance on his face: "I said Brother Gu, let's go to see some crabapple flowers, it's better to play two sets of punches at home."

Gu Junci raised his lips and smiled brightly: "Looking at flowers is naturally the reason for looking at flowers."

Yu Shiyao leaned back and frowned slightly: "Brother Gu, it would be bad if the Second Highness knew about this."

Gu Junci pursed his lips: "Will you go or not?"

"Go." Yu Shiyao looked firm, "I must go, or I will follow you, what if you cause trouble for the Second Highness?"

Gu Junci frowned, it sounded like he was going to do something bad.

He didn't explain much, he just clamped the horse's belly and went to Qingyun Temple outside the city with Yu Shiyao.

It is already late autumn, and most of the trees on both sides of the mountain road except pines and cypresses are beginning to drop their yellow leaves. Because of this, the crabapple flowers that bloom this autumn have become a magic weapon for Qingyun Temple to attract pilgrims.

Since it was afternoon, there were no people in the Taoist temple. Gu Junci and Yu Shiyao tied up their horses outside the mountain gate, and walked up the mountain leisurely, admiring the beautiful crabapple flowers blooming on both sides of the stone steps.

Suddenly, the melodious and melodious sound of the piano came from the dense forest on the mountainside. The elegant sound of the piano against the gorgeous and blooming crabapple flowers is quite unique.

"Brother Gu," Yu Shiyao hurriedly called Gu Junci, who was looking happy, "I always feel that something is wrong, the piano doesn't sound sooner or later, but it happens when we are approaching, is there something wrong with it? "

Gu Junci stopped and smiled, his voice was relaxed and bright: "Of course, because they knew I was coming, they started playing the piano, trying to attract us over."

Yu Shiyao looked at him in surprise.

Gu Jun said: "Since I became the Duke Protector, all the girls in Chang'an City want to send them to my residence."

"You can't..." Yu Shiyao hurriedly said.

Gu Junci knew what he was going to say, and nodded quickly: "I know, I know, so I called you together, you are also a Qi Guohou, and you are also a good-looking talent. As a brother, I naturally have to plan for your life. I only know how to box at home every day, wouldn't it be good to marry a wife?"

Yu Shiyao pursed his lips and pondered: "I'm a big bastard, and the girl is appointed to look down on me."

Gu Jun said: "Whether you like it or not, you need someone to set it off. After you go out for a walk today, maybe tomorrow they will send invitations to your house."

Yu Shiyao was skeptical, and quickly followed Gu Junci's footsteps, walking towards the source of the piano sound.

Sure enough, there were several servants guarding the gazebo deep in the dense forest, and inside the gazebo sat a girl in a blue dress, with gentle eyes and a shy smile. Sitting in front of her was a couple who were almost young .

They seemed to have sensed that someone was coming, and quickly looked towards Gu Junci and the others in surprise. They seemed to know that Gu Junci and the others were coming, so they didn't stop them, but stood up to greet them directly.

"It turns out that Duke Protector and Marquis Yu have arrived. Please forgive me for not welcoming them from afar." The man bowed to Gu Jun with a smile on his face.

Gu Jun reciprocated and said: "Where is Uncle Wen Yuan? Since Uncle Wen Yuan invited me, how could the younger generation not come here? I just brought Marquis Yu without permission. Please forgive me."

This Uncle Wen Yuan, Gu Junci remembered seeing him in Luoyang Palace when he first arrived here, he was the youngest brother of Empress Huo in the former court, and he can be regarded as the direct uncle of the current Crown Princess.

It's just that after leaving Luoyang and returning to Chang'an, they never saw each other. Later, after they came to Chang'an with Xiao Yuan, they met the princess twice.

Uncle Wen Yuan greeted them to take their seats, and ordered someone to bring hot tea for them, then he said:

"This is a little girl, her name is Qingtong, she is 17 years old now."

After saying this, the girl from Huo's family stood up to greet them, her voice was gentle and soft, and her eyes were a little timid.

Gu Jun resigned and they returned the salute, and then sat down, but because there was a foreigner here, Mrs. Huo took the girl from the Huo family up the mountain in the name of worshiping Sanqing, and left this place for Gu Jun resigned from them.

It's just that Uncle Wen Yuan is also a smart person, but when he watched Gu Junci's eyes follow his daughter's back from the corner of his eye, he had a solid foundation in his heart, so he didn't say anything clearly, and only talked about other things when chatting. .

From the customs, to the poems and songs describing Haitang, to the current court situation and the peaceful situation in the world, there is nothing about his daughter.

Gu Junci didn't mention it, but occasionally looked at Yu Shiyao, not quite sure what he meant.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the begonia flower collar of Qingyun Temple, which was extraordinarily glamorous. After bidding farewell to Uncle Wen Yuan, Gu Junci and Yu Shiyao walked towards the mountain gate.

Gu Junci asked: "Brother Yu, what do you think of that girl from the Huo family?"

Yu Shiyao thought for a while: "It's not good, that body is too thin, it can't."

Gu Junci frowned: "Brother Yu, this is choosing a wife, not a soldier."

Yu Shiyao also shook his head: "You and I don't care, anyway, I don't think it's very good."

Gu Junci sighed helplessly, so he had no choice but to worry about him anymore. These other people had married wives and started families, but Yu Shiyao was alone right now. As a brother, Gu Junci really didn't want to see him alone.

However, when they came to the mountain gate, they found that the horses tied outside were gone, not even Wen Yuanbo's carriage and horses were there.

"It's broken, we don't want to go back." Yu Shiyao looked at the empty mountain gate and shouted out in surprise.

Gu Junci also scratched his head: "It's so far away, so I won't go, Brother Yu, why don't we go to the mountain to see if there are any horses in the Taoist temple, or find someone to deliver a letter, let Ah Chun pick us up .”

Yu Shiyao: "I think it will work."

The two hit it off immediately, and then turned to go up the mountain, only to meet Uncle Wen Yuan again outside the Hall of Sanqing.

Seeing Gu Jun resigning them and returning, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are Duke Hu and Marquis Yu back?"

Gu Junci and Yu Shiyao looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Our horses have been stolen, I want to ask the Taoist priest, there are horses that can be raised in the temple."

Uncle Wen Yuan stroked his beard and said, "Oh, there are not many horses in this Taoist temple, but if Duke Hu and Marquis Yu are not in a hurry, the carriage from my residence will come back tomorrow to pick us up, why don't we go together?"

Gu Junci: "This is not very good."

Wen Yuanbo said: "I am familiar with the Taoist priest here, and now there are vacant rooms in this temple, where you can stay overnight, so there is no need to refuse."

Yu Shiyao furtively tugged on Gu Jun's resignation leather belt, and he immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Wen Yuan is polite, but you have female relatives, so we are not easy to beg for mercy, or forget it, we all You are a martial artist, even if you walk back to Chang'an City on foot, it will be fine."

"I'm afraid that the gates of the city will be locked when you go back, and you will have to stay outside the city for one night. At worst, I will let Qingtong avoid you. It doesn't matter." Staying in the Taoist temple, by the way, I ordered someone to arrange dinner for two more people.

Seeing this situation, Gu Junci felt that they should not be able to leave, and only hoped that Uncle Wen Yuan had no other plans, otherwise, even if he walked all night, he would have to walk back.
