Substitute thought

Fuyou had a long dream.

I dreamed about the past three years.

He was born in a family of poetry collectors appointed by the ancestor emperor. His grandfather was the emperor's poetry collector, and his father was the emperor's poetry collector.

Three years ago, during the first winter of the new emperor Qin Gou's ascension to the throne, Fuyou entered the palace to present poems for the first time.

From the south to the north, the weather was too cold, and he couldn't get used to it, so he wrapped himself up tightly and wore a light yellow jacket outside, kneeling and sitting outside the curtain.

The musicians were playing, and he only sang "Tuan Tuan Huang Que". Qin Gou raised his eyes through the curtain, and his sharp eyes fell on him.

Qin Gou said, "He looks like a little oriole going through the winter."

Fuyou forgot the rules, raised his head, and stared blankly at the emperor.

He was left in the palace, given imperial meals, and wore silk and satin. The emperor asked him to sing the song "Tuantuan Huangque" over and over again.

Fu You was puzzled, he thought it was the first time the emperor came to the throne, the first time he entered the palace to present poems, that he was rewarded.

But before the winter of presenting the poem was over, Qin Gou said he liked him and asked him to stay in the palace with him.

Fuyou was originally unwilling. Last time he picked poems, he made appointments with the farmers at the entrance of the village, the master at the foot of the mountain, and the fisherman by the lake. See you next year when he picks poems.

A few days later, there was a New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.

Fuyou followed Qin Gou.

The palace is resplendent and resplendent, and the lights are like daylight.

Empress Dowager Liu, Qin Gou's titular mother, rewarded all the ministers, especially her natal family; General Liu, Empress Dowager Liu's younger brother, took advantage of the revelry of the wine, stood up and danced his sword as if no one was around.

All the officials shouted in unison——

"The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old!"

"The general is good at martial arts!"

Fuyou subconsciously looked at Qin Gou.

The Empress Dowager was sitting in the main seat, and he was sitting on the right side, with the lights on, it was clear that he was sitting here, but it seemed that no one could see him.

When General Liu held up his long sword and was about to stab him, Qin Gou's face remained unchanged, he threw the wine bottle forward, and the wine spilled on the sword. swim up.

Fuyou was at a loss, pleaded guilty to General Liu, and then helped Qin Gou down.

That night, Fuyou tried to hug him in a place where the lights of the banquet could not shine.

The emperor who was supposed to be omnipotent couldn't do anything, Fuyou thought, at least let Qin Gou know that one of the emperor's wishes can always be fulfilled.

So he decided to stay in the palace.

But life in the palace was not easy.

Empress Dowager Liu didn't like him very much, every time she saw him she would call him an idiot and beat him on the hands; General Liu's everything she said and did was based on her sister, and she also called him stupid.

Not only the Empress Dowager Liu and General Liu didn’t like him, but other poetry collectors didn’t like him either, because he only collected poems for a year, and he stayed in the palace “for glory” and they wrote several satirical poems to stab him.

In the imperial court, he was secretly dissatisfied with the officials of the Liu family's faction, and didn't like him very much, because he was "flirtatious and seductive".

Fuyou wanted to explain at first, but later he couldn't explain it, so he had no choice.

He comforted himself that this was fine, so that he and Qin Gou would be the same.

They were all alone, and that was enough.

For three years, in order to guard against Qin Gou's secret schemes, Empress Dowager Liu had to change the staff around him every three months. People came and went. Only Fuyou, a harmless "idiot", stayed at Beside Qin Gou.

The two of them stayed together all day without feeling bored, and it was like this for three years.

Everyone knew that Fuyou was Qin Gou's favorite person.

Only for these three years.

Three years passed quickly. In the winter of the third year, Qin Gou's various schemes under the cover of "indulging in pleasure" were in place, and the time was ripe. He began to liquidate the Empress Dowager Liu and General Liu.

General Liu holds the military power in his hands, and if he is to be liquidated, he has to mobilize troops.

Originally, Qin Gou took Fuyou with him, under the guise of spending the winter, to stay in the palace far away from the imperial capital, away from the battlefield, and plan a strategy thousands of miles away.

But not long after, an urgent report came from the front, saying that the young son of the Yan family, one of the families of generals that Qin Gou had befriended, had an accident during the march.

When Qin Gou received the news, he led people to rescue him overnight, leaving Fuyou alone in the palace.

What happened later was just like that.

General Liu knew that he would be defeated, so he arranged for someone to escort the Empress Dowager Liu to escape. In order to delay the time, General Liu led the troops and went all the way to the palace, intending to threaten Qin Gou with "Qin Gou's favorite person".

At a critical juncture, Fuyou raised his long sword, counted the only remaining palace guards in the palace, dug ditches and built defenses outside the palace, and repelled the rebels three times.

He sent out a carrier pigeon and asked Qin Gou when he would be back.

Qin Gou replied that it was noon on the third day.

So Fuyou got up his spirits, led his men and horses, and fought to the death.

At noon on the third day, there was no wind or snow, and there was silence above the Blood River Corpse Mountain.

The palace ran out of ammunition and food, and was breached in one fell swoop, and Fuyou was captured.

In the evening, Qin Gou took Young Master Yan's hand and arrived after a long time.

Fuyou was in a dream, and only realized it belatedly.

All kinds of things, in fact, have long been signs.

When Qin Gou was still the prince, Young Master Yan once served as a companion in the palace.

Later when Qin Gou came to the throne, Young Master Yan also served the pen and ink in front of the imperial court for a period of time.

At this time, Empress Dowager Liu controlled the harem, and according to her attitude towards Fuyou later, her attitude towards Young Master Yan would not be very good; and General Liu was also suppressing the families of military generals, and the Yan family was one of them.

Perhaps it was at this time that Qin Gou found that he had no way to protect Young Master Yan, so he demoted the Yan family to the border.

This happened in the first year of Qin Gou's accession to the throne. Fu You entered the palace to present poems in the winter of this year, and Young Master Yan had already left.

Thinking about it now, I took a quick glance through the curtain.

It's not love at first sight that Fuyou has been thinking about for the past three years, but scrutiny, speculation and calculation.

In the dream, at the New Year's Eve banquet, Fuyou stretched out his hands and pushed Qin Gou away.

He didn't want to like Qin Gou anymore.

It was a big dream, Fuyou woke up from the dream, opened his eyes, and his vision blurred.

The pain in the cheek was severe, it should be because he bit too hard in order not to cry out in front of the two armies.

Fuyou tried to shout twice, but no one seemed to hear him, so he had no choice but to calm himself down, got up from the bed, went to the desk, and poured himself a bowl of water.

The water was cold, Fuyou drank a couple of sips and felt much more comfortable and calm.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound outside, Fuyou was startled, and the water in his hand splashed on the lapel of his clothes.

The battle is never over.

His heart was beating violently again, and he walked quickly to the window and opened it.

A brilliant bright red light was reflected on his face.

It was a false alarm, it turned out to be just fireworks.

Fuyou breathed a sigh of relief, and soon realized that the fireworks should have been set off by Qin Gou's side at a celebration banquet.

After many years of hard work and courage, once the power is in hand, it should be celebrated for three days and three nights.

Fuyou leaned against the window sill, trying to support his head, but accidentally touched the wound on his face, the pain made him burst into tears.

He looked up at the fireworks in the sky, thoughtful.

He thought, now it's time to reward meritorious deeds. Qin Gou wouldn't be so stingy. In the past three years, he has done so many things for him, so he should have merit. Should he be rewarded?

If you can make a wish, Fuyou clasped his hands together: "I hope Empress Dowager Liu will cheer up soon, regain control of the government, and piss off Qin Gou."

"I hope that Yan Fuyun falls a big somersault when he goes out, and his face is swollen like mine." "I hope that Fuyou can leave the palace, continue to collect poems, and pretend that he hasn't had these three years."

Fu You smiled, if only one of the three wishes could come true, he hoped it would be the last one.

He is not really a vicious person.

Just as Fuyou expected, there was indeed a celebration banquet at Qin Gou's side.

After drinking for three rounds, the interest was high, and the patriarchs of the several generals who raised the army this time, took advantage of the fireworks, and opened their mouths with their own thoughts.

"The little girl has admired His Majesty's heroic appearance for a long time, and she deliberately..."

Before the patriarch could finish speaking, he was interrupted by others pretending to be drunk.

"Hey, we all heard it before the army formation that day. Your Majesty said that he likes young master Yan. Patriarch Wang, if you want to send your daughter to the palace, that's not okay, and it will become a second shield." gone?"

While talking, everyone raised their wine bottles and looked at the head of the Yan family.

"Unexpectedly, Lao Yan can be the head of the country without a daughter."

"Old Yan is still lucky."

Both inside and outside the words are sarcasm.

Young Master Yan turned his head to look at the man in the main seat, wanting to ask him for help.

The Patriarch of the Yan family held him down and almost gritted his teeth: "You know what you did well."

In the end, the Patriarch of the Yan family could only lift the wine bottle and smile at the others with the corners of his mouth.

Qin Gou sat on the high seat, and he never said anything to stop him, but just watched them argue without changing his face.

The situation is dark and dark, and you can have a panoramic view.

Not long after, the celebration banquet broke up.

Qin Gou got up and left from the apse amidst the mountain cry of "Long Live", and got into the sedan chair.

He leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

The old eunuch who followed did not dare to disturb, and did not need to ask, so he softly ordered the young eunuch who carried the sedan chair: "Fu Ning Palace."

The sedan chair arrived at the main entrance of Funing Palace smoothly all the way, but Qin Gou still closed his eyes and did not move.

The old eunuch understood, and ordered: "Go forward, to the side door."

Going in through the side door is where Fuyou lives.

Fuyou doesn't have his own palace, whether it's in the temporary palace or in the official palace of the imperial capital.

He always lived with Qin Gou, who lived in the main hall while Qin Gou lived in the side hall.

An extremely standard concubine configuration.

Long after the fireworks ended, Fuyou was still staring at the silent night sky in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of reprimand from outside the door brought him back to his senses.

"I told you to guard Mr. Fu, how dare you be lazy here!"

Fuyou straightened up, the next moment, the side door was opened from the outside, Qin Gou sat on the sedan chair, tilted his head, and cast a glance at him.

Then the old eunuch asked people to drag the two lazy little eunuchs down, turned his head to look into the door, and said pleasantly, "Young Master Fu has woken up."

Fuyou paused in doubt, then nodded to him and smiled.

He recognized the old eunuch.

Originally, when Empress Dowager Liu controlled the harem, the people around Qin Gou had to change every three months.

The name of this old eunuch is Cui Zhi. He used to burn firewood in the small kitchen, because the person who was going to replace him suddenly fell ill, because no one would come to replace him, and because he was missed during the replacement, by accident, He insisted on serving Qin Gou for a year.

Fu You looked at his uniform, then at his style, and realized that he should have been directly promoted to be the chief eunuch next to Qin Gou.

It can be considered over the top.

Cui Zhi also smiled at him, and turned his head to announce the good news to Qin Gou: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fu has woken up."

Qin Gou sat firmly on the sedan chair, and said calmly, "I have eyes."

He turned his head and looked into the side door, as if waiting for something.

But Fuyou just stood in front of the window, wearing a snow-white single dress, with black hair loose, like a fairy.

Qin Gou was a little irritable for no reason.

Usually when he comes, Fuyou should have come out to greet him, but not today.

Usually when he comes, Fuyou always smiles when he looks at him, but not today.

Today Fuyou smiled at that old eunuch Cui Zhi instead.

Qin Gou became even more irritable. He raised his hand and pressed the hat on Cui Zhi's head.Qin Gou supported his hat and stood up from the sedan chair.

Cui Zhi's eyes were covered by the hat that was pressed down, and when he finished his appearance, Qin Gou had already walked into the side door.

With a creak, Fuyou closed the window.

Qin Gou paused, his face darkened, and then he strode forward.

Just when Fuyou was about to lock the door, Qin Gou just pushed the door open.

Two people, both hands, pressed against the door leaf.

Fuyou was a head shorter than Qin Gou. Qin Gou looked down at him and asked curiously, "Are you losing your temper?"

It should be strange indeed.

Fuyou didn't lose his temper very much in the past.

Even if there is trouble, it will be fine soon.

Fuyou could clearly smell the alcohol smell on Qin Gou's body, he turned his head unconsciously, thought for a while, and said, "I don't think Young Master Yan is still in danger and needs me."

Qin Gou's brows furrowed deeper: "Didn't Yan Fuyun explain to you that day? Still making trouble?" He flicked Fuyou's cheek: "And bit himself like a hamster, his face bulged out One lap."

"Young Master Yan is no longer in danger, I don't need to keep pretending..."

Qin Gou would not ask him a third time, nor would he give him a third chance to speak. He just hugged his waist and lifted him up.
