After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

The warblers are singing in March, and the warm wind is blowing.

The palace is filled with the fragrance of flowers in full bloom, and the joyful chirping of birds is really peaceful and tranquil.

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, both monarchs and ministers, each wearing a neatly tailored round-neck robe, competed swords in the small courtyard opened behind the Xuanzheng Hall.Han Mochu's sword-holding movement is elegant and swift, combining strength and softness, while Gu Xiu's steps are steady and crisp. The evenly matched two have yet to win within [-] moves.

The swords used by the two of them were forged by Gu Xiu, who specially ordered the military supervisor to find a special person. It completely imitated the "Seven Star Longquan Sword" made by the famous swordsmith Ou Yezi and the general.

The two swords are of exactly the same standard. The length of the swords is about four feet, and the weight is more than three catties.The patterns chiseled on the body of the sword are all blue dragons, white tigers, Suzaku Xuanwu, the four phases of the zodiac, and the seven stars and Big Dipper on the back, and the scabbards are also inlaid with silver and carved lacquer. Pigeon's blood red stone, and the copper ornament at the end of the hilt is a five-clawed dragon in the sky.Han Mochu's scabbard is inlaid with seven suet white jades, and the copper ornament at the end of the hilt is a tiger with crane wings, standing upright.

Gu Xiu and the two swords took names, one was "An Guo" and the other was "Ding Bang".The two swords can be connected end to end, and the scabbards can also be connected to each other.

It means "two swords combined to make the country stable".

When the two were fighting fiercely, the onlookers could only see the shadow of the sword, but could not see the figure of the sword bearer clearly.

After an hour, the two of them were sweating profusely.

Seeing that the swords of the two were withdrawn, the little eunuch who was closely following him immediately stepped forward to hand them clean water and a soft towel to clean their hands and faces, and then put on their outer cloaks.

Facing the spring breeze, the two drank two sips of freshly brewed spring tea, and sat on the two swings newly made in the small courtyard.

Looking around, the small courtyard opened up by Gu Xiu at the beginning of his ascension to the throne has been completely decorated.

In addition to the newly-made swings, there are also small rocky mountains for young children to climb, small ponds for fishing, and several types of novelty wooden horses and wooden carts on a piece of soft sand.

This piece of sand is very useful. It can be used for young children to play when they are children. When the young children grow up, they can also practice boxing and kicking here.

When the Department of Internal Affairs opened up this sandy land, Gu Xiu said so.

Ever since Gu Xiu recognized Prince Yu's son Yucheng as his heir on the Longevity Festival, the palace began to prepare for the matter of taking this little highness into the palace.Except for the sleeping palace which is only a few steps away from the Xuanzheng Palace, and the thousands of selected palace servants.Gu Xiu also designed this small courtyard with hand-drawn drawings, which can not only allow children to play, but also allow him and Han Mochu to practice sword moves on a daily basis.A pony belonging to the child has also been bred in the hunting ground in the palace. The pony is a descendant of Fifty Gold, the same sweat and blood breed, and is just waiting for his little master to grow up with him.

Although Gu Xiu, a young emperor, has not married a wife yet, he always has a kind of expectation for this child, Gu Xiu, who will become a father for the first time.

"The preparations in the palace are complete. If Your Majesty can't wait, why don't you tell Her Majesty the Princess in a few days to pick up Your Majesty?" On the swing, Han Mochu held a teacup in both hands, blowing a warm majesty, letting the sweat stains on his body Dissipation: "I see that Aunt Wu has made a lot of small quilts and pillows these days. I guess she got the news and is looking forward to it."

"In fact, I have already talked about this matter with my elder sister, but my elder sister is reluctant. I have always said that I will raise the child until he is six years old and then send it over. It is my insistence that my elder sister reluctantly agreed to let Yucheng enter the palace at the end of the year." of."

"It seems that Her Majesty the Princess really cares about this child. I know that His Majesty has high hopes for His Majesty, but the Concubine Zhuo in the Princess Mansion is also a champion, so it is more than enough to enlighten the child."

"It's not that I haven't thought about what Ziran said, it's just that the eldest sister is pregnant now. In the future, when the eldest sister's parents and children fall, according to the eldest sister's heart, she will still favor Yucheng. It would be bad if the two children were separated because of this. It would be better to let Yucheng enter the palace early and let you and Zhen raise them."

Han Mochu smiled warmly: "Then, has Your Majesty thought about how to be a gentleman?"

Gu Xiu nodded, then shook his head again: "I've thought about it, but I don't know if I can do it well. My father-in-law is the most failed father in the world. Without pearls and jade in front of me, I can only try slowly. But What I can guarantee is that I will treat him as my own in this life and never have any quarrel with him. When he grows up in the future, there will be thousands of miles of mountains and rivers for him to gallop around, and there will never be flesh and blood around him. The tragic situation of brothers fighting each other. I want him to inherit this country without distraction..."

When Gu Xiu said this, his eyes seemed to see the bleak autumn two years ago again.

The moment Gu Yan leaned against his arm and closed his eyes, the feeling of his hands being scalded by blood was the first time that Gu Yan put aside everything and spoke to him as an elder brother.

He wants him and Gu You to have a good time.

Gu Xiu often thinks that when he was a teenager, he and Gu You were inseparable, and Gu Yan probably envied him the way they went in and out together.

Han Mochu's gentle eyes fell on Gu Xiu's handsome side face, he understood Gu Xiu's mood at this moment.

Perhaps it was because the death of King Xun was too tragic, but Gu Xiu never let go of the former emperor.

So he wanted to be his ideal father-in-law, to make up for all the emotions he lost when he was young from this child.

The situation of this child is roughly the same as that of Gu Xiu when he was young, and he is also born with the fate and hopes of two generations.

The only difference is that this kid was lucky enough to grow up in a non-malicious environment.

The royal father-son relationship has always been the most complicated emotion in the world, which is separated by the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and connected with the blood of flesh and blood.

Han Mochu also doesn't know whether this child can take care of the world as Gu Xiu wants when he grows up, all he can do is to stay by Gu Xiu's side and prevent this child from feeling resentful towards Gu Xiu.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time, go back to the palace and change your clothes." Han Mochu got up from the swing, and put the teacup in his hand back into the tray in the hand of the accompanying eunuch: "This afternoon, I invited my subordinates to Shizhong, the third hall of the Ministry of Rites and Hanlin The vice president of the academy went to Xinuang Pavilion to discuss matters."

"Okay." Gu Xiu nodded and replied, "I'll go back and read the book first, let's have dinner together after you're done."

***

What Han Mochu discussed with his ministers today was about Gu Xiu's first Enke after he ascended the throne.

One of the new policies that Gu Xiu implemented at the beginning of last year was related to the imperial examination, which really inspired the hearts of the students.Therefore, more than [-]% more people voted for Qiu Wei this year than in previous years, so the success or failure of Enke this year should not be underestimated.

Needless to say, Enke's main examiner was Han Mochu.In addition, it is necessary to agree on the examination questions of this subject and the candidates for several deputy examinations.

In addition, due to corruption in the south of the Yangtze River, Han Mochu suggested to Gu Xiu that after the end of the battle in southern Xinjiang, he should set up a governor's office in ten provinces across the country to complement Yushitai and jointly supervise all officials.

The governor's office mentioned by Han Mochu is quite different from other institutions of the imperial court.

It does not have a specific office, but a term of three years. Officials do not wear official uniforms after their term of office. They only walk among the people, act quietly, and report what they have seen and heard to the imperial court in one fell swoop.If anyone finds that they are corrupt and pervert the law, exploit the common people, or be lazy in government, they must report the facts.

In this way, officials from all over the country can only pass the annual performance appraisal by correcting themselves, being diligent all the time, and benefiting the people.

This is what Han Mochu said in the past, a sharp knife that should be hung on the heads of all the officials in the court, a sharp knife that can remove the scum for the court at any time.

Today, Shizhong under the door came to hand over the list of the first batch of inspectors to Han Mochu.

In the second quarter of the hour, inside the Xinuang Pavilion.

Han Mochu sat in front of the desk on the east side of the main hall in court clothes, flipping through the test questions submitted by the Minister of Rites.

In front of the desk, Leng Wanxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Zihan, associate professor of the Imperial Academy, stood waiting.

In this warm pavilion, apart from the eight-foot dragon table in the center, there is also a six-foot table on the east side. On the two tables, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones of the same format, seals of talismans and so on.

In order not to be false, no matter whether Gu Xiu is present or not, Han Mochu only uses the desk on the east side.

Since Gu Xiu returned to the court in southern Xinjiang, the Xinuang Pavilion in the Xuanzheng Palace, which was originally used for the courtiers to wait for the court, was changed into a place for the courtiers to consecrate, announce, and award rewards.

The upper hall of Dongnuange was changed to the place where Gu Xiu and Han Mochu read, took a nap, drank tea and received guests.

By separating the two places in this way, Gu Xiu and Han Mochu can also have a place to sneak in while they are busy.

It has been more than two years since Gu Xiu ascended the throne, and he is much more comfortable in doing many things than when he was in the new dynasty.Occasionally, the two of them practice swords, ride horses, read books, or play chess in their spare time in the afternoon.

Although the two are in the court and have important responsibilities, they don't feel hard.

Inside the Xinuang Pavilion, there was no such thing as a fierce verbal battle with Chinese ministers when they were discussing matters.

While flipping through the pages, Han Mochu raised a pen to draw circles on the positions where he disagreed with him. Leng Wanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stared secretly at the ink circles that accumulated more and more, and his palms were sweating.

The few officials who met Han Mochu were all nearly 20 years older than Han Mochu. After two emperors, but after these two years, everyone's attitude towards Han Mochu was respectful.

One is because the king, Gu Xiu, valued this Taifu Han far more than he treated his courtiers. Gu Xiu gave him the right to make decisions with the king.

The second is because Han Mochu's talent in governing the country is really impressive. Compared with these old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years, they are really different.

Take just now as an example, when the sect submitted the list of the first batch of governors and school masters to Shang Qi, there were a total of 120 people on the entire list.

These 120 people from Han and Mo Chu were like a few treasures, and they spared no time to analyze the pros and cons with Shang Qi one by one, and finally overthrew them all.

Even though Shang Qi and Han Mochu were of the same rank, the lord was still crushed by him, unable to fight back.

About half an hour later, Han Mochu put down the brush in his hand: "Master Leng, I have circled some inappropriate exam questions. Do you think there is anything else you want to discuss?"

"Everything is up to Taifu Han, and the subordinate has no objection." Leng Wanxing obviously didn't want to be like Shang Feng, and shook his head with a smile: "You rejected it, and the subordinate will change it immediately after returning."

"My lord Leng, if you don't say a word, why should I let you come to the Xinuang Pavilion to discuss matters? You are not a copy, even if it is His Majesty's Zhu Zhu, as a subject, if you feel wrong Refuse, why are you so cautious?" Han Mochu bent his eyes and smiled warmly, the more beautiful the smile, the more frightening it was.

"No, I just think that Taifu Han is right and your criticisms are correct, so I feel that there is nothing to discuss."

Han Mochu smiled slightly, and turned to the page he had just edited: "This official has just ticked off the name of you, the author of the question, do you think there is nothing to discuss?"

"Er... this... next official..." Leng Wanxing was slightly sweaty on his forehead, and was speechless for a moment.

"Forget it, since Mr. Leng said that there is nothing to discuss, so let's do it." Han Mochu got up and straightened his official uniform: "Deputy Wang, since Mr. Leng doesn't want to ask about the issue, I will leave it to you. Tomorrow, you will go to the Ministry of Officials to sign an official letter of secondment, and temporarily act as Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"Yes, the officer obeys."

"Han, Taifu Han, right before Enke, you are transferred at this time, where are you going to let the next official go?" Leng Wanxing wanted to cry but had no tears.

Han Mochu smiled slightly, and said warmly, "Since Mr. Leng only likes to follow others, then wait for Enke to start the test and become a transcription officer."

***

The night was dark and rainy in spring.

Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion where the emperor lived in the Xuanzheng Palace.

On the large Zijin Babu bed, the bed curtains hang down to the floor.

The two people on the couch were like two trapped beasts biting each other.

On Gu Xiu's broad back, four or five bloodshot wounds had already been caught. On Han Mochu's straight neck, there were blue, red and purple indigo, colorful, and there was even an extremely clear tooth mark on the collarbone.

Gu Xiu supported Han Mochu's body with both hands, and Han Mochu's back was arched like a mountain bridge, and the fighting in the dragon bed intensified.

"Ziran, what did Mr. Leng from the Ministry of Rites say in the afternoon? He came to me crying when he left the Xinuang Pavilion." Gu Xiu suddenly pressed himself on Han Mochu's chest, his skin and flesh pressed against each other. .

"What?" Han Mochu squinted his eyes, his nose was covered with beads of sweat: "Your Majesty, is this here to inquire about the crime? Leng Wanxing has been in charge of Enke since the late emperor, and Yongxi has been a deputy examiner in 17 years. Now When it came to the new dynasty, it was like this. If the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are like this, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults, then why is my Great Zhou strong? I asked him to transcribe the examination papers, did he feel wronged?"

"I know, so I didn't refute your face." Gu Xiu's adam's apple twitched, kissed the corner of Han Mochu's lips, forcefully pried open his clenched teeth, and said vaguely: "Then, what about the matter under the door?"

"Uh...uh..." Han Mochu hastily responded to Gu Xiu's sudden deep kiss, tilted his head and panted, "Those people he chose, one counts as one, they are all from the long-standing clan under the capital of Bianjing, Such people, if they are not righteous themselves, why should they supervise the officials."

"Is there someone in Zi Ran's mind?"

"I want to... um..." Han Mochu grabbed the bed sheet under him, red clouds flying on his cheeks: "Select 150 people from the newly admitted Jinshi after the Enke examination, and let these people scatter The world, inspect the officialdom on behalf of His Majesty. These people are all literati, the most upright, and they have not been involved in the imperial court and have not been stained with dust and mud, so it is perfect for them to restrain those old fritters who are used to officialdom."

"It's still...Zi Ran thought carefully..." Gu Xiu got the strength from where he came from, and he stood up and bumped.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty." Han Mochu was hit hard and almost bit his tongue: "Your Majesty, why do you have to tell me this under such circumstances? Why didn't you ask before going to bed?"

"Because..." Gu Xiu leaned over to Han Mochu's ear and lowered his voice, "I just like to hear Ziran talking intermittently like this. The more you can't speak, the more I like it."

"Gu Yunchi!" Han Mochu straightened up and tightly strangled Gu Xiu's shoulders, his bony hands pinched two red palm marks on Gu Xiu's shoulders, and cursed through gritted teeth: "You bloody bastard!" ! Shameless wolf cub!"

Amidst Han Mochu's scolding, a late-night fight finally came to an end.

The huge dragon bed was in a mess, the sheets were wrinkled like spring water, and the brocade quilt was also messed up and kicked aside.The two were sweating profusely, leaning on a soft pillow refreshed.

"Little fox, do you want some tea?" Gu Xiu, who was still in the mood, kissed Han Mochu's light eyelashes: "There is freshly brewed jasmine tea on the table."

"Newly cooked?" Han Mochu raised his eyebrows lightly, playing with taste: "Don't your majesty know that I have been tossing for two hours?"

"Two hours? Then I seem to be quite powerful."

"Your Majesty, I don't remember when I taught you to be so shameless." Han Mochu sighed softly, stretched his body and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Gu Xiu leaned over, pressed against Han Mochu's earlobe and said very gently: "I'm shameless, I want Master."

Han Mochu was obviously taken aback, and secretly sighed in his heart.

It is said that the emperor's power can eat away at human nature, so why was he the one who was eaten away by Gu Xiu in the end?
