I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

"Very well, then come here, Gu Zhu will accept the order."

Princess Daxing stood up, and waved her pale and slender hands to a group of princes kneeling on the bedside, signaling to make room for Gu Zhu to kneel down.

Gu Zhu walked through the crowd and knelt slowly in the middle, with imperceptible sobs in his ears, he glanced away from the corner of his eye, and saw the youngest little prince pursing his lips, his bun-like face was covered with tears .

The little prince was crying while clutching the hem of his clothes, realizing that he was being watched by Gu Zhu, he quickly lowered his head and wiped his face with his sleeve, unwilling to be seen in a mess.

While in a trance, Gu Zhu was called back by the voice of the princess, and saw that the princess pulled out a secret order from nowhere. Trembling echo: "Hou Ye Gu Zhu, after I go, I hope you are well. After the second son ascends the throne, he will bestow the throne of King Yongle, and he will not leave Chang'an without authorization in the future. I respect you."

After hearing this, Gu Zhu slowly raised her head to look at the mother who handed the imperial decree to her. She dared not accept it for a long time, and asked, "If I accept it, will daddy be able to come out? He didn't have a reason."

Princess Niang smiled faintly and said, "This matter can only be decided after your second cousin comes back and takes the throne. After all, collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a trivial matter, and no one can easily accommodate it."

Gu Zhu: "Then can I go and meet him?"

The eldest princess still shook her head: "No matter what Zhuzhu you ask me about this matter, you won't have an answer. You have to wait for your second cousin to come back before you can give it."

In the final analysis, I hope that he can help my second cousin to get the position, but how can he help his first-year salted fish?

The imperial decree in front of him moved in front of him again, Gu Zhu's eyelashes trembled, and he took it respectfully, kowtowed deeply with chills all over his body, and said, "Gu Zhu accepts the decree."

After all, Gu Zhu left the east bedroom without looking back, and walked to the small hall outside. Who knew that the three-year-old little prince whom he had just glanced at curiously just now chased after him, grabbed his sleeve, and snotted his nose. With tears in his eyes, he asked, "little cousin, when will second brother come back? Where is second brother? Before my father died, I was thinking about second brother. Second brother will beat bad people when he comes back. When will you send second brother back?" Send it back?"

——What do you mean 'when will you send the second brother back'?

This matter, including many things, has been carried on his shoulders since then?

Is this the unanimous decision of the emperor's uncle and the princess mother?

Gu Zhu didn't think it was too heavy, but he didn't have to use this method to force him, right?People have a mouth, isn't it for speaking?We are not strangers without feelings, nor are we enemies. If you insist on using such a method, aren't you afraid that his heart will hurt?

Gu Zhu swallowed her dry throat, and was silent for a moment, unable to express her unhappiness to a child, but sighed, squatted down, pinched the little cousin's face, and said: "Wait, I will always come back. From Qingzhou to Chang'an, it takes at least ten days and at most a month. Now it is difficult to travel by water, so I can only go by land. I am afraid it will take at least half a month."

"Then the eldest brother will definitely join the bad guys to take the position... The emperor said that the eldest brother is useless, and he will be demoted as a commoner with the wolves..."

The little prince hadn't finished speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by a kick at the door!

Gu Zhu has been stimulated enough today, but now his heart is still beating heavily, and he subconsciously protects the child behind him.In the end, I saw Cao Fang, the eldest prince whom I was most familiar with, coming aggressively with more than a dozen attendants, and when he stepped in with thick-soled lotus boots, he yelled angrily: "I see who dares to lie here! Twelfth Brother , if you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart first!"

The twelve princes who were protected by Gu Zhu didn't dare to show their heads again. They watched the eldest prince who was as tall as Xiu Shuo come in, went to the dormitory and knelt at the front and cried for his father. .

Gu Zhu saw Han Jiangxue, whom she hadn't seen since she was drugged.

Han Jiangxue also glanced at him, lowering her eyes, her expression was somewhat unpredictable and deserted.

Seeing that Han Jiangxue didn't seem to want to talk to him, Gu Zhu didn't want to be boring, nor was he interested in standing aside and watching the eldest prince perform a filial son. He wanted to go out, but he was stopped by the people brought by the first prince just as he took a step forward. , and then the guards brought by the first prince were immediately surrounded by the guards around the eldest princess.

Gu Zhu regretted her life, she would not force her way, so she simply took a step back, turned her head and continued to watch the First Prince's performance.

Maybe...it's not a performance, but an alternative expression of true feelings...

It can be seen that in the dim bedroom of the dead, the crying young children and the only two people standing form a strange picture.

The standing eldest prince's eyes were scarlet, and he couldn't control his grief. He hunched his back for a while, then pointed at all the people present with a smile, and said, "What a good father, a loving father and a filial son! What a loving brother and sister! Only I Isn't he the son of the father? Why did everyone know that the father had gone, but didn't inform me?!"

"Auntie... Am I not your nephew? Why did you keep it from me?!" The eldest prince smiled with tears in his right eye, "Auntie, since you don't regard me as your nephew today, I will I won't tell you much, I just need to know where the emperor's imperial edict is, please hand it over to me."

"It's not with me." The Eldest Princess looked at her coldly.

The eldest prince Cao Fang sneered: "How could it not be with you? Don't scare me."

"I said I'm not here, so I'm not here. The imperial edict can only be read after all the princes have arrived. What do you want it for now?"

The eldest prince: "I think the emperor should read it after his father leaves. Why do you have to have all the princes present? The emperor naturally regards me as his successor. Is there anyone else? It will only be me, and only I will have it." Qualified to be the emperor of Daxing! He told my mother himself that year!"

The eldest princess lazily wiped the spittle sprayed on her face, her movements were graceful and unaffected by the eldest prince: "Really? I don't know, I still have to wait for all the princes to arrive before I can read it. Your father's last wish. Do you want to disobey him?"

"Fart!" The eldest prince Cao Fang's original image of a handsome young man shattered, and he walked to his guard almost angrily, drew a knife and put it on the eldest princess's neck, and said, "Auntie, don't force me! Where is the imperial edict?"

Gu Zhu shouted in fright: "Cao Fang! What are you doing?!"

The eldest prince glanced at him, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm not doing anything, what about you, cousin? What are you doing here?"

The eldest prince seemed to have noticed something different, he let go of the sword on the eldest princess's neck, and walked towards Gu Zhu leisurely, his smile returned to his usual gentleness, but he dragged the 'stab' all over the place in his hand. The cold sword of sawdust made a harsh sword sound.

Gu Zhu's neck was chilly, but he could stand still. He only glanced at the thing in the eldest prince's hand, and said, "I'm here to ask uncle why he locked up my father."

"Oh...so that's how it is..." As he said that, the First Prince cast a glance at Han Jiangxue who was frowning, and said with a smile, "What are you in a hurry for? I don't want to do anything to my good cousin. He is our big brother now. Benefactor, even if his father is imprisoned, he has seen his father's uncles and connections, and his words are more effective than anyone else, so naturally I will not mess around."

As the eldest prince said, he threw away the sword in his hand, spread his hands, and said openly: "Now we don't have to hide it, let me just say it, even the son-in-law knows that we can't fight against the Xie family. Our father, our grandfather, and our Emperor Yuan all knew to live in peace with the Xie family, but you all want to make your second child the emperor, can the Xie family agree?"

"Only I have a blood relationship with the Xie family. If you establish me, they will have nothing to say, and they will never stir up trouble first, making Daxing panic. But if you insist on establishing a second child, then the old Whether you can come back or not is up for debate, then the Xie family will even rebel in the name of being the head of the throne!"

"When there is chaos in Chang'an, no matter how evenly you and the Xie family's soldiers are, Auntie, some people will suffer heavy losses. The Northwest is still fighting! Do you have the heart to worry about internal and external troubles?"

"Auntie, I, Cao Fang, was also raised by you, and I am also from the Cao family. I don't know how many times better than the second child!"

"Really?" The eldest princess was unmoved, "But no matter what, the edict can only be read after all the princes have arrived. Your father's words are imperial edicts. Do you still want to refuse to listen?"

"Besides, since you've talked so far, why don't I come and analyze it for you? Cao Fang, you have been abandoned by Xie Zuzheng now, and you came to us just to put all your eggs in one basket. You wanted to revise the imperial edict. Just now you also heard Xiao Shi What the second said, you are no longer the prince, come here! Put Cao Fang down for me!"

"I'll see who dares!" The eldest prince said angrily.

The two of them shouted their words almost at the same time, and in an instant, they could see the shadow of the sword, light and sword of the guard blocking the outside, half drawn out, and the fight was about to start.

Gu Zhu's pupils shrank for a moment, but she was nervous for a long time, and did not wait for a sexual encounter.

When he was nervous, he was always able to think about problems. After breathing heavily from his lungs and rolling through two rounds, he could hear his own voice:

"Big cousin, mother also puts the overall situation first. She has a deep relationship with her uncle and siblings, and she doesn't want to go against uncle's wishes. You have to understand that now my mother is too sad, and she is already a little unclear about the problem. Please Let her go back to the Princess Mansion to rest, since the eldest cousin came to look for the edict, and the edict is not with my mother, how could she have it?"

The eldest prince smiled and said, "Oh? Then who should my cousin ask for it?"

Gu Zhu: "I do have a will here, does my cousin want it?"

"Is this will of yours what I want?"

Gu Zhu lowered her eyes: "That's right, as long as it's the edict brought out from here today, it can be what my cousin wants." After Gu Zhu finished speaking, he heard his elder cousin laughing suddenly, came over and patted it hard his shoulders.

"Well said! It is indeed possible. Cousin wants to give this thing to me?"

"Yes, but on condition that I want to see my father."

"Isn't it easy to handle? Come and send the young master to Dali Temple to pick him up."

"Wait! Cao Fang! Do you want to confuse the fake with the real?! How long do you want to help the Xie family?! Are you a descendant of the Cao family?!" As an invisible man, he grabbed the sword on the ground and stabbed at the disrespectful and insane eldest prince.

It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, the eldest prince bowed back, dodging the first sword, and the moment the second sword came, he immediately grabbed Gu Zhu who was closest to him, and pushed forward!

Gu Zhu's body is light and his frame is small, so he has no place to parry with a random push. Seeing the sword go straight to his throat, tears flowed down his face, and 1 mmps ran around in his heart: Damn it!Cao Fang, you are not human!

It's just that Han Jiangxue's arm flashed past in front of him, and the sword was knocked off, leaning on his shoulder and piercing through.

"Ah! Zhuzhu!"

"Little Lord!"

There seemed to be people shouting from all directions, but Gu Zhu looked down at his shoulder belatedly. The pain then spread to his brain, and then sent to his limbs from his brain. He staggered for a moment, and was half-embraced by Han Jiangxue.

Gu Zhu only felt that his right hand could not move, but he was not dead, and he probably wouldn't die, so he pretended to be calm, took a deep breath, and said, "It's all right, don't panic, I'm all right." He seemed to be telling himself listen.

"How can it be okay?! Cousin will avenge you."

Gu Zhu just raised his eyes, and saw that the first prince pulled out another sword from nowhere, and stabbed the stunned third prince's chest with his backhand!

The third prince rolled his throat twice, as if he wanted to say something, but in the blink of an eye, he was blocked by endless blood clots, his eyes rolled upwards, and he fell down...

Gu Zhu was also supported by the princess mother, and saw the eldest prince turn his head, with blood splattered on his face, and asked him, "Cousin, cousin avenged you."

Gu Zhu's face was pale, and he didn't speak, but he knew very well that everyone present, only his mother and himself, the eldest prince didn't dare to move, because he was at the end of his strength, without the support of Xie's family, on his own, he couldn't even fight against the princess's wife. He just came here and pretended to be tough. Once the princess made a move, the eldest prince would have nowhere to fight.

The bad thing is that once the Princess Mother takes the initiative to deal with the eldest prince, then Xie Zuzheng will probably have an excuse to fight against the Princess Mother's private soldiers under the slogan of supporting justice, or establishing a son-in-law and a leader.

And now father is still in prison, once the two sides fight, no matter which side father is on, it will be extremely dangerous.

He is father's weakness, and father is also his weakness. Now that the two are separated, they must not act rashly.

In addition, the second cousin is indeed not in Chang'an now, so it is the right way for the first cousin to temporarily take the post of Li Guo. At least in this way, there is no need to worry about Xie Zuzheng leading people to rebel. If there is a real fight, Gu Zhu doesn't know where Daxing is safe...

Speaking of which, isn't Xie Chongfeng the internal response to his uncle's instigation of rebellion?

I heard from my nephew before that my uncle was waiting for the victory in the Northwest War. He must be waiting for Xie Chongfeng from the Northwest to lead his troops back to support his second cousin, right?

But the battle in the northwest is said to be very stalemate. It has been a month, and it seems that there have been only a few small-scale battles, and the winner has not yet been decided.

Gu Zhu didn't believe that his uncle's death was such a big deal, and Xie Chongfeng didn't know, didn't Xie Chongfeng still have someone to protect him by his elder brother?It's time to take someone back to Chang'an in secret...

if there is not……

Then it's worth his deliberation on the relationship between Xie Chongfeng and his uncle.

Can……

The eldest prince in front of him must never really sit on the throne!

"Thank you, big cousin, don't do it yourself in the future, you're all in charge of the country, and you can ascend the throne after a month of mourning for your uncle. You have to be prudent." Gu Zhu said that even he himself listened. If you can't go down, squeeze your mother's hand by the way.

The princess lady glanced at him, but said nothing.

On the contrary, seeing his mother's reaction, the First Prince smiled and said: "Gu Gu still loves Zhuzhu, so how about it, Gu Gu will go back to the princess mansion to cultivate first, and Zhu Zhu will stay in the palace until all the dust settles and he has recovered his body." , how about sending it back?"

Gu Zhu felt that the eldest prince might feel that his mother didn't get angry because of him, but in reality?Gu Zhu didn't think that he could have much influence on his princess...

—Mother probably knows that she should trust him now, right?

That's right, mother knows him well, and knows that he will definitely not let such a radical person as the first prince be the emperor, but is the second prince suitable?

maybe.

Gu Zhu doesn't know, but a person who values ​​love and righteousness is ten thousand times better than a person who is so cold-blooded that he would kill his brothers!

——He wants to help the second prince ascend the throne!Daxing must not stay in the hands of this bastard Cao Fang.

Three days later, the 40 troops who fought against the enemy in the northwest for one month had just finished a small battle with the Huns.

The reason why it is said to be small is that the Huns have not launched the main force, and the two sides are in the process of testing.

It was the first time for Xie Chongfeng to command such a huge army, but he did not shrink back timidly. Instead, he had unprecedented excitement and arrogance. The blood of wolves and tigers is drawn out, which is the nature of going crazy whenever she sees red.

Luo Yuchun was promoted to rank three lieutenant general, and came all the way with Xie Chongfeng. In fact, he always had a question, An Yi, where did they go?

As Xie Chongfeng's most proud and secretive right-hand man, An Yi and the others who had been accompanying him before had always been used by the boss to spy on information quickly and accurately. Now that the war is such a big event, they just happened to be able to spy on one or two, why didn't they bring it?

Luo Yuchun put on a puzzled face for a long time, but he couldn't ask any questions. This day, he and the soldiers got together to roast leg of lamb, and when everyone around him was gone, he kicked the boss and said, "What's the situation in Chang'an?" how?"

"No way." Xie Chongfeng's stern face was hidden in the hat of half a thick wool padded coat, the dark clouds covering the sky and the sun were rising above the loess, and the city which was a hundred miles away from the army could not be seen at a glance. The place is empty and silent, just like the foil of its voice, indifferent and casual.

"No way? I don't think there are urgent reports sent to your tent in Chang'an every three days? What? The emperor is urging you to finish the battle and go back?"

Xie Chongfeng received this kind of urging letter, so he nodded.

"All of them? It seems that the kid won't live long. Shall we make a quick decision? The Huns are starving to death one by one, and they can't beat us at all. We still can't go back. When the time comes, let your elder brother I have taken the lead, so what should I do?"

Xie Chongfeng sneered: "No, he is just like the old man, he is trying to catch his name. If there is any infamy, he will definitely think about it for a long time, or else he will leave it to me."

"Even so, will the eldest prince be supported by then? Even if Xie Zuzheng is tied with the princess, and the son-in-law is fishing in troubled waters in the middle, it will still make Xie Zuzheng bigger. When the time comes to go back, what should we do?"

"What to do? Do whatever you want."

Luo Yuchun chuckled and said, "Brother Xie, I really can't believe what you said, brother Xie is chivalrous, the young master saved your life back then, and now he has an unclear relationship with you, even if you deny it, to be honest, brother, I will You're not stupid, how can you not see anything? That Gu Zhu has an amazing beauty, and now she is only seventeen or eighteen years old. After taking care of him over and over again, after we were together, there was nothing to do with labor every day, Zhuangzi didn't go to meetings, but he always refused to admit it. I won't play with him anymore."

"Later on, Gu Zhu was really half-hearted and disagreed with you..."

"Wrong." Xie Chongfeng suddenly interrupted Luo Yuchun's words.

"En?" Luo Yuchun was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Xie Chongfeng tickled the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's not against me, and he didn't say anything about breaking off the relationship, but if he has any other good brother outside, I will go back and chop off the adulterer's hands and feet, so you are wrong."

Luo Yuchun was terrified for a moment, puzzled: "Really?" Ignoring someone unilaterally is not considered a severance of relationship?

"I'm joking haha." Xie Chongfeng smiled again, "He loves to joke the most, and now I'm being led astray by him."

Luo Yuchun took a sip of wine silently, noncommittal.

Just when there was nothing to say and wanted to change the topic to chat again, Xie Chongfeng's urgent report every three days was delivered on time.

Luo Yuchun looked at the messenger silently, and asked, "How many good horses have you run away?" As he spoke, he threw a pot of wine, "Here, I'll reward you."

Come to Shifeng to sleep in the open for a whole day, not daring to be negligent for a moment, thanked him and said: "Three people were changed, and three good horses ran away to death."

Luo Yuchun nodded, let the messenger go down to rest, then raised his eyebrows at Xie Chongfeng, and said, "How is it? What's changed in Chang'an..." So.

Before Luo Yuchun finished speaking, Xie Chongfeng, who had never changed his face before the collapse of Mount Tai, crumpled the letter paper with one hand, and his eyes were dark, which was a sign of anger...

It just so happened that the soldiers standing guard came to report: "Report to the general! A small group of Huns came to harass us again - disturbing us to go out to fight!"

Xie Chongfeng threw the ball of paper into the fire of roasting mutton, stood up, raised his helmet, turned around and said, "Fight! Ask the deputy general to come over and listen to my command, fight all the way into the royal court, and take the head of Shanyu home!"

As soon as the voice fell, thousands of voices in the army rose loudly.

Luo Yuchun was quick, and quickly pulled out the paper ball. Half of the paper ball was burnt, but the writing on the other half was very clear. He wrote:

Lord Hou was assassinated, bleeding profusely, and he was in danger.
