I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

The autumn rain is continuous, and the wind blows the remaining leaves.

The Changle Palace was pitch black, and stacks of palm-high blue leather folds were piled up on the lacquered nanmu table, like hills, and behind the hills was an endless sea.

On the right side of the owner of the sea is a pocket-sized golden lotus candle, wearing the dragon robe of the nine-clawed golden dragon. The black dragon robe is integrated with the black curtain, so the golden dragon seems to be floating in the air out of thin air, majestic and fierce, glaring forward.

The eldest princess Cao Zhaoyue crossed the double-sided screen of mountains and rivers, and stood in front of the table, listening to the rain that had not stopped for half a month outside the house, and in front of her was the emperor who was as thin as a skeleton with eyes almost sunken, almost out of shape.

The eldest princess stared at her younger brother without speaking first, her gentle eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and when she saw the lights on her younger brother's table flickering, it seemed that the next second would be like suicide and wax. Going to the pool, he sighed, walked over as if showing weakness, knelt down beside his younger brother, picked up the scissors with Yubai's hand, and cut off the excessively long candle wick.

"Abei, you should go to rest." The eldest princess said, also covering the memorial in front of the emperor.

The blue tendons and bones in the emaciated hands of the emperor were completely exposed, as if there was only a piece of skin left, but he was holding the ballpoint pen tightly, scratching circles on the courtier's memorial, and inadvertently drew a line on the back of the elder sister's hand. Dazzling oblique red.

"Rest?" The emperor said with a gentle voice, smiling at his sister beside him, "I'm not sleepy yet, not to mention there's not much time left, then Xie Zuzheng is ruthless, Mr. Xie is also ruthless, and Dan There is no antidote for the medicine, if you take it, you will die, if you don’t take it, you will die, it’s better not to take it, I hate that thing.”

The eldest princess mourned slightly, and a sad face climbed onto her pretty face. She opened her mouth and tried to persuade: "The director of the Tai Hospital said that it will be fine if you take care of yourself slowly. You always don't care about your body so much. That is of course not good."

"Calm slowly?" The emperor gracefully put down the ballpoint pen, and looked at Auntie with extremely cold eyes, "I don't have time to take it easy, so many things, and the half-dead Xie family, all wait It’s not as good as I take my time, I take a step slower, then Xie Zuzheng will learn his grandfather’s method to win over the officials again, I finally killed their prestige and gave them time to recuperate, how is this possible?”

The eldest princess sighed.

But the emperor continued to laugh and said: "If my sister really cared about me, she would have taken action a long time ago. Now she is just talking about it, so it can be seen that she doesn't care about me at all. Why are you still waiting here hypocritically? Urging me to rest, why bother? Sooner or later I will die of illness and die of hatred, if you don’t let me work hard for the second son of the emperor, won’t the world still fall into the hands of the Xie family after I leave?”

The eldest princess's pupils widened immediately, and she said sadly and angrily: "I am hypocritical?! You are my only younger brother, am I hypocritical? If I were hypocritical, I would have... personally..." ruined her little home for you?

"Shut up, sister." Even now, the emperor didn't show the slightest bit of anger, he was still smiling, as if the smile on his face was his skin, and he had been fixed in this position many years ago, so Whether happy, angry, sad or happy, he always has the same expression, with a slight chill in his eyes, which is his heart.

"Auntie has already separated from me, and now she just pities me, or she is afraid that I will die. Xie Zuzheng led the boss to the throne. You are having a hard time, so I hope I will get a little longer." The emperor lightly He smiled, coughed a few more times, and said calmly, "Sister, what are you doing in front of me? Just say no? Just tell me: Brother, I beg you, sister. Don't fight with the Xie family, just forget it, don't force you to do things you don't want to do, don't make it difficult for you."

"It's hard for my brother to do nothing now, I just ask my sister to go back, so that I won't be upset."

"Oh, by the way, I'm afraid that my sister knows that the son-in-law and Xie Zuzheng are now together. Although they are a bit concealed, they deliberately did not do well, just to let me know that he and I are not at peace. If sister-in-law goes to join the son-in-law now, Maybe for Zhuzhu's sake, the son-in-law can't touch you yet, go quickly, don't wait for your brother's head to hang on the crooked neck tree outside Changle Palace before begging for mercy, by then, it may be too late."

"You!" The eldest princess blushed, her eyes were filled with tears, she fell down in the blink of an eye, and then slapped the emperor, "I'm your sister! Why did you talk to me!"

The emperor's health was already very bad. After receiving a slap, his head quickly turned to one side, and then turned around again. His face was swollen and a dry hole was opened at the corner of his mouth, and fresh blood gushed out one by one.

The eldest princess looked tearfully at her younger brother who was still smiling at her, couldn't help hugging the emperor, looked up at the beams of the house, and looked at nothingness.

The emperor who was hugged by sister did not refuse her hug, but still said bitterly: "Now Daxing has internal and external troubles, and it is time for me to show my talents. I just don't believe that without that old and immortal thing, our Cao The home is going to be gone!"

"Sister, sister... tell me, is my brother the emperor of Daxing?"

"You are."

"Then are you my sister?"

"I'm."

"The son-in-law Gu Jinchen hated us for using him back then, and now the collusion with the enemy is going to turn against me. Do you think it was wrong for me to send him to fight with Xie Chongfeng? Is it wrong for me to want him to die outside? I am protecting myself, and I am also protecting our Cao family Jiangshan, sister, what are you doing again?"

As he spoke, the emperor raised his head from Elder Sister's arms, and gave another faint smile, but his eyes were red and bloodshot: "Elder Sister, what are you doing?"

"I..." The eldest princess panicked for a moment, then closed her eyes in pain, "...I didn't do anything."

"As a descendant of the Cao family, the world is about to be handed over to others. Our ancestors can watch us from the sky. Could it be that the century-old foundation of the Cao family will be ruined by you and me today?" The emperor sat upright, Squeezing Sister's hand, he said, "I won't just watch this happen, but Sister, you have to help me..."

The eldest princess retracted her hand immediately, but was held tightly by the emperor: "If you let go, I might as well hang myself to death now, it's better than dying in the hands of that jackal from the Xie family."

"...you say." The eldest princess took a deep breath.

The emperor: "It's very simple. Now Xie Chongfeng is my man. After all the soldiers and horses in his hands are transferred out, only Xie Zuzheng's private soldiers and his sister's private soldiers are left in Chang'an. These two parts are evenly matched, but if Xie Zuzheng and Gu Jinchen really cooperate When I get up, I don't have the slightest chance of winning, I just need Gu Jinchen to settle down."

The eldest princess thought for a moment: "You want him to die?"

"Only the dead can do no harm."

"You want me to threaten him with Zhuzhu to die?"

"There are so many masters around Gu Jinchen, so he won't be approached easily, even poison assassination will be useless, unless he doesn't want to live anymore."

The eldest princess couldn't imagine what it would be like: "Zhuzhu and Gu Jinchen have a very good relationship..."

"So what? Sister, do you have the heart to watch all the land that my father handed over to me be given away to others?! Gu Jinchen is too deceitful, too deceitful! He is not Zhuzhu's father at all, Zhuzhu is a good boy, yes , but Gu Jinchen is just a traitor, so you can kill him and find a new father for Zhuzhu, wouldn't it work?" The emperor was so excited that the muscles on his face twitched.

"But...but..." Zhuzhu would hate her to death.

The eldest princess couldn't speak, and it seemed that she couldn't accept it, but the younger brother in front of her was still shaking her shoulders and said to her: "You are my elder sister! You are the eldest princess of the Cao family! Don't you Just whose mother..."

……

When the general went out to fight, there was a scene that Daxing hadn't seen for many years.

There were some ceremonies during the expedition, but Gu Zhu had never seen them before, so Yang asked his father to take him to see them, and he was lucky enough to occupy the best position, able to see the phalanx clearly on the top of the imperial city wall, and by the way, he could see the phalanx on the top of the imperial city wall. Xie Chongfeng, a muscular dark horse.

On the huge square is a phalanx of 20 elite soldiers, and outside the city is 40 soldiers, plus the soldiers conscripted from various states and counties, and when they gather in the north, there will be 20 troops. Of course, Gu Zhu doesn't know the situation of this era The leaders are so pissed, they only have 40, and they will boast 40 to the outside world. Now that the emperor's uncle sent 80 people, they boast to the outside world that they have an army of [-]. At first glance, it sounds like overwhelming military strength.

This was a mobilization meeting, and the emperor's uncle was speaking at the top, encouraging the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely. Gu Zhu was a little far away and couldn't hear him. , Xie Chongfeng, who was the leader, at least took the lead in stepping out of the straight city gate of Chang'an Imperial City from the front.

The warriors marched out of the city with their military flags on their shoulders. Gu Zhu turned around and ran to the other side of the city wall to see Xie Chongfeng go away.

Gu Zhu rested his hands lazily on his cheeks, watched the man on horseback go away, and said silently: "Come on."

Although Tie Zhu ignored him, but Xie Chongfeng, who was going to fight for the country, wanted to cheer. After all, he was still a citizen of Daxing. If the Huns from the north were allowed to come in and be the masters of the house, his status as a relative of the royal family would not be enough. To burp.

What's more, if this bustling and prosperous Daxing is really reduced to a city of war, wouldn't it be a pity for such a beautiful scenery and such nice people?

Gu Zhu's field of vision gradually lengthened and widened with the direction of the army's departure, drawing the houses, pedestrians, vendors, carriages and horses in and out of Chang'an City outside the entire imperial city, showing a hopeful smile.

His eyes drifted too far, but he couldn't see General Zhengbei, who was farther and farther outside the city, looked back at the top of the city on his black horse. No matter how good his eyes were, he could only see a vague white figure, so Zhengbei The general just looked at it, and his long and narrow eyes were half drooped again in a moment, and the shadow of the overly long eyelashes drowned out all the storm vortices that shouldn't exist.

After watching the ceremony, Gu Zhu led Guanshi Guo to walk on the long street where the army had just walked.

When the army passed by, the people of Chang'an, except for the occasional talk about the Northwest War by the students, actually did not change the lives of ordinary people much.

Gu Zhu walked all the way to the outside of his favorite dessert shop, but he didn't want the shop to close down. Xiao Er was packing up his things, and inside was the kind-hearted man he had seen before, who was doing the abacus with one hand and looking through the accounts with the other.

"Huh? Brother, are you the boss here?" Although Gu Zhu always comes here to buy brown sugar ice-powder, he has never met the boss, and he didn't expect such a coincidence, "Why don't you sell it today? This is Do you want to go to a distant relative?"

Almost at the same time as he heard the familiar voice, the hand of the soft-looking young master knocking on the abacus paused in mid-air, and then a kind smile appeared in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "It's you?!"
