After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

After the sudden death of Zhang Zixing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Gu Yan, the king of Xuan, fell ill, saying that he had a high fever that would not subside.

Gu Hong sent someone to ask twice, but nothing came of it.

Until the return of the court on the day of Liqiu, he was never seen again in the previous court.

On the first day of the restoration of the dynasty, the first public case that Gu Hong tried in the previous court was the matter of King Ning Gu You beating the Minister of the Ministry of War.

King Gu Hongduan sat on the court hall, and saw Gu You and Gu Xiu kneeling side by side under the court hall, with a resigned expression on his face.

Song Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, knelt down with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He was accompanied by two servants and a principal, and his face was painted.

In this situation, none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak.

"Don't hold back, tell me, why did you smash the lobby of the Ministry of War yesterday." Gu Hong sighed, and gave Ning Wang Gu You a look: "Talk about it in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The Sixth Emperor is finally in the mood to go out on an errand, who made you angry?"

"Return...return to father...my son complained yesterday for my seventh younger brother!" Gu You mustered up his courage and said with righteous indignation.

"Sing out?" King Gu Hong grinned and looked at Gu You with a half-smile: "You mean, someone bullied your seventh younger brother?"

"That's right, they are just bullying the seventh brother." Gu You nodded resolutely.

"Your Majesty, I have never insulted His Royal Highness the King of War, please learn from me!" Song Quan, who had dark eyes, hurriedly buckled his head and confessed, fearing that it would fall off if it was too late.

"Song, you are still sophistry!" Gu You straightened up angrily, and pointed at Song Quan, who was slapped with black eyes: "Father, this is Song Quan, the leader of the White Tiger Army. There are few battle armors in the army. He told the seventh brother that there is not enough pig iron to make pig iron. That’s all, the seventh brother took the armor from Wang Shi’s army to dispatch, and a sign was stuck with him for more than ten days! Han Canjun came to the door to urge Three times, there was no movement at all. It was enough for Seventh Brother to go find it by himself yesterday, so he slowly covered it."

"Your Majesty, this matter was negligent for a while. The signing of the seal has always been the responsibility of the Ministry of War. The minister was not good at supervising and delaying military affairs. Please punish him." Song Quan glanced at the Ministry of War with a cracked mouth. Master, lowered his head even lower.

"If you only care about this matter, will this king fight with you?" Gu You became more righteous when he saw people pleading guilty: "The king of war lacks seven hundred wooden spears in his armament, and the arsenal of your military department will send someone to fight against you." Thorough investigation, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?"

"My humble minister... my humble minister..." Song Quan hesitated and couldn't speak, Gu You took over the conversation and reported to the king: "Report to my father, my son can hear clearly from there. What he said Seven hundred wooden spears is not a big deal, nor is it an iron weapon that can hurt people. If His Royal Highness Zhan Wang thinks that the army is insufficient, seven hundred wooden spears will not add much money. You are sure that my seventh brother is not loved. Theoretical calculations, let alone playing in front of the king, so you will be lawless! If this king didn't happen to meet yesterday, this account would have passed in a daze!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... At that time, I was busy raising the military rations for the next year, and I thought what His Royal Highness Zhan Wang said was not very important... So... So..."

"Xiu'er, what your Sixth Brother said is true?" Gu Hong asked with eyebrows raised after listening.

"Return to father, what the sixth brother said is true."

"In this case, why are you still kneeling? Get up."

"Father, this matter was all caused by my son. And yesterday, Brother Six just lifted the table case on the military hall and injured Mr. Song, and the rest of the officials and government soldiers were injured by my son."

"Fu Bing? Why did Song Qing use swords yesterday?" Gu Hong squinted his eyes and squinted at Song Quan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yesterday...yesterday I was in a hurry...the scene was chaotic...I don't even know..."

"Song Qing, what else do you have to say after you've talked about it? If it wasn't for the skill of my seventh prince yesterday, you still planned to leave my two sons in your military department?" Gu Hong hugged his shoulders, and said in a slow tone: "I see that you are not wronged at all. As a prince, Zhan Wang is the head of military officials in the country. How dare you talk to him so negligently. It can be seen It's because my son is so easy to get along with on weekdays, and he never cares about you guys who are just vegetarians. He openly let him use his salary to cover your foolish account. I'm still sitting upright at the moment, so you guys Dare to put your nose on your face?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid..." Song Quan, together with those who were beaten yesterday, kowtowed to Gu Hong to plead guilty, with his heart hanging in his throat.

"Afraid? I don't think you are at all terrified. After the matter is done like this, you still have the face to kneel in front of me and tell me?" Gu Hong turned his eyes and turned to Han Ming, the prime minister who stood at the top of the officials. : "Han Aiqing, you are also from the military department, how do you deal with this matter?"

Han Ming, who has been restless since the beginning of the court meeting, suddenly asked this question, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He looked sideways at the staff who he had raised up on the court hall, his eyes sank, and he said respectfully: "Shangshu of the Ministry of War, disrespecting the prince, tired and slack, according to the Zhou law, he should be held accountable for eighty years, and serve three years of corvee service. The rest should be dismissed from the Ministry of Officials for questioning."

"Brother, you..." Song Quan looked at Han Ming beside him in disbelief. He had benefited from Han Ming and obeyed Han Ming all these years, and he would trip Gu Xiu in these military affairs because of his instruction. He belongs to Han Ming.Now that he was in danger, Master Han didn't even say a word to defend him.

"Lord Song, it's really inappropriate to say some things in front of the court. But don't blame your fault and bring the whole family down." Han Ming said in a calm tone, with fierce killing intent in his eyes.

Song Quan thought about it for a while and still didn't say anything.

"Since Han Qing said so, let's do as Han Qing said." Gu Hong seemed satisfied, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "Come on, drag these people down."

As Song Quan and those military officials were dragged to His Highness by the warriors in front of the palace, Han Ming couldn't help but shift his gaze towards the direction where those people were being dragged away.His eyes unexpectedly bumped into Han Mochu who hadn't said a word the whole time in the queue of military officers. Han Mochu was also looking at him with a calm expression and a gentle smile on his mouth.

Han Ming suddenly woke up like a dream.

In just over a month, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War, these confidantes he cultivated in the court.They all fell under the horse for one reason or another.He was so exhausted that King Xie Gu Yan was also left out in the cold, all of this must have something to do with this Han Mochu.

I don't know when it started, he seemed to have stepped into an inescapable trap.

He didn't understand why the king would suddenly be so gracious to Gu Xiu, the king of war who had always been afraid of him?Zhan Wang privately sent troops to destroy Monan, which should have touched the king's bottom line.Many years ago, he mobilized his officials to participate in the concert in this way, helping the king to deal with the taboos of the previous kings one after another.

Why?When it comes to Gu Xiu, it won't work.

After the court meeting, Gu Hong left Gu Xiu and Gu You in the inner palace to see him.

In the inner room of Chongning Palace, without waiting for Gu Hong to speak, Gu Xiu stood in front of Gu You: "Father, the servants hurt the most people yesterday, and if the father wants to beat and punish, the servants alone will bear the responsibility."

"When did I say that I'm going to punish you?" Gu Hong glanced at the two of them and asked, "Have you all eaten?"

Gu You poked his head out from behind Gu Xiu's strong shoulders, pursed his lips and shook his head, and said pitifully, "Elder Chen and Seventh Brother came here early in the morning to kneel and didn't eat anything."

"You're welcome, aren't you?" Gu Hong coughed, raised his hand and said, "Cui Shang, pass on the meal."

"Father, you...you won't punish us?" Gu You looked at Gu Hong with surprise, then at Gu Xiu: "Seventh Brother, Father won't punish us."

"I ask you, were you two hurt yesterday?" Gu Hong shook his head irresolutely, and sat down in front of the round table.

"No, no, the seventh brother is amazing! Sixty or seventy government soldiers surrounded him, but they didn't hurt him at all." Gu You danced and gestured, as if he wanted to pull Gu Hong into the scene.

"Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense, there were only 50 people at most yesterday." Gu Xiu clenched his fists and covered his mouth, concealing the embarrassment of being complimented in person.

"Aren't all 56 and [-] the same? Didn't you knock down one with one move yesterday..."

Gu Hong took a look at the two bickering children, and couldn't help feeling depressed.

The sixth prince, Gu You, had such a disregarded temperament since he was a child, and he has somewhat restrained himself since he got married.It would be fine if he was not involved in the court affairs in the future, but if he was involved in the court affairs, if he made a slight mistake, who would condone the new king's superiors.

The seventh prince, Gu Xiuheng, hasn't enlightened until now, and if it's about the allies in this court situation, he is not as good as the sixth.As long as he is alive, this child will be good every day.If one day he is gone, the new king will definitely be the first to take him under the knife.

Although he has no intention of establishing a heir at the moment, as a monarch father, he will always make sure that no matter which son is in the position.The rest of the sons can live to the end of their lives.

After a while, Cui Shang led the eunuch Chuanshan to set up a breakfast table.

Braised green beans with shrimps, chicken rolls with bean curd skin, porridge with minced fish and green bamboo shoots, white jade lotus cake, and six or seven refreshing side dishes.

"The meal is all served, so don't be restrained, use your chopsticks." Gu Hong took a sip from the porridge bowl, and Gu Xiu and the others followed suit.

"Well... this minced fish porridge is really delicious, isn't it the seventh brother?" Gu You took a sip of the minced fish porridge, and his eyes lit up.

"Well, it's delicious." Gu Xiu, a person who seldom expresses his likes and dislikes, nodded accordingly.

A bowl of minced fish porridge whetted the appetites of the two teenagers who had been kneeling all morning.The exquisite meals in the palace are like a gap between the teeth in the eyes of a hungry young man.

"Eat slowly, why has someone snatched it from you?" Gu Hong only had a bowl of porridge, and then asked Cui Shang to serve him a pot of tea, watching his two sons with good appetites eating.

"Hey, this white jade lotus cake is the fourth brother's favorite to eat. Why didn't the fourth brother come to court today?" Gu You glanced at Gu Xiu and then at the king Gu Hong with half of the cake in his mouth.

"Your fourth brother has been ill for a while." Gu Hong took a sip from the tea cup, and said calmly, "One of you runs wild all day long, and the other trains with your head. What do you know?"

Gu Xiu and Gu You looked at each other, and Gu Xiu put the pastry in his hand back on the plate: "In this case, let's keep this cake for the fourth brother."

"Yeah, yeah, we should ask if the fourth brother is sick." In front of Gu Hong, Gu You broke off half of the half-bitten cake and stuffed it in Gu Xiu's place. hand.

"This plate of cakes is given to you by me, so you eat it. If your fourth brother wants to eat, I will reward him again." Gu Hong pushed the plate of white jade lotus cake towards Gu Xiu's hand: "Everyone Eat it, and don't leave a piece of it."

Gu Xiu and Gu You hurriedly reached out to take a piece, and said in unison: "Thank you, Father."

"Xiu'er, I heard that you have set up a few small drinking water places in central Beijing these days for people on the road to drink and rest. Is there such a thing?" Halfway through breakfast, Gu Hong finally brought the topic to today's topic. Dian Guxiu's words came up.

"Return to father, there is indeed such a thing." Gu Xiu frowned, puzzled, "How did father find out? This minister is using the name of a country gentry in the capital."

"As the royal father, I naturally know everything and know everything. This is a good thing, why are you sneaking around?"

"When Han Canjun was a young teacher, he taught my ministers that doing good deeds must be kept secret, otherwise it would be hypocrisy. So I don't want others to know." Gu Xiu replied honestly.

"It's not good or bad. Have you forgotten that the stall where you distributed anti-heat medicine was smashed by someone?"

"I remember that I have already compensated those common people who were injured and injured, and I will tell them to be careful in the future." Gu Xiu said solemnly, as if pleading guilty.

"What kind of money did you pay, who asked you to pay?" Gu Hong's heart sank, and he couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead: "What I mean is that it is very important to name someone who does good deeds in this capital, otherwise someone will Provocations lead to trouble, do you understand?"

"Hmm..." Gu Xiu glanced at Gu You thoughtfully, and Gu You's wisdom flew up, and he immediately replied: "Father, emperor, son, I understand, what you mean is to let the seventh brother do good deeds in Beijing from now on." , all under the banner of Royal Father, no one dares to mess with him anymore, right Royal Father."

Gu Xiu suddenly realized, and hurriedly looked at Gu Hong and nodded: "Father, my son also understands."

Gu Hong was at a loss for words for a moment, and didn't know where to start, so he waved his hands: "Forget it, you can eat yours. After eating, go say hello to your concubine mother and eldest sister. I will go to rest for a while gone."

Gu Xiu and Gu You held a piece of pastry, looked at each other, and looked at the king without knowing why: "Yes...respectfully send the father to the emperor..."

At dusk, Aunt Wu finally looked forward to Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, who had not been seen for more than a month.

In Aunt Wu's eyes, it's pitiful for the child Gu Xiu to lose a few catties outside.I don't know how long it will take to raise it again.

After the incomparably grand and sumptuous welcome dinner, it is a rare leisure time.

Gu Xiuduan sat in front of a short table and copied the Wei stele.

The post before going to bed is the homework that Han Mochu gave to Gu Xiu.Practicing calligraphy in front of posts with a calm temper can restrain Gu Xiu's hostility in fighting on the battlefield.

Han Mochu also changed from his court clothes to a handsome and comfortable robe with wide sleeves, and placed a chessboard under the night light.Black and white are intertwined, planning is criss-cross, and every step is carefully considered.

Han Mochu was the first person Gu Xiu had ever seen, and the only one who could play chess with him so seriously, so he couldn't help but put down the wolf hair in his hand and asked, "Why did Master play chess with me?"

When Han Mo first heard the words, he dropped a white piece in his hand, raised his lips and said with a smile: "I am not playing chess with myself, I imagine myself as an opponent."

"In this case, does winning or losing matter?"

"Of course it's important." Han Mochu lifted up three black stones and threw them into the chess basket: "I want to guarantee that no matter who the opponent is, the winner will be His Highness."
