After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

After the war king Gu Xiu returned to Beijing, the king seemed to feel better physically and mentally, and even the life of court Chinese and martial arts became easier.

Because King Xun's feet were forbidden, King Duan was weak.Prince Rui Gu Zhi, who had been silent for many years, suddenly came back to life. He received two important events that had not been completed before King Xun's foot restraint.

The king, who had just settled a few major events, had no intention of interfering, and let the courtiers toss about them at will.

On that day, King Gu Hong asked Cui Shang to take out the black gold heavy armor he wore when he was young in battle, and asked Cui Shang to help him change his clothes and armor.

Standing in front of the mirror, the king in armor all over his body is as tall and straight as ever.Nan Xi wrapped her arms around his waist and asked innocently, "Your Majesty, are you a god?"

Gu Hong pinched the tip of his nose and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Your Majesty, after all these years you still have the same demeanor." The old eunuch Cui Shang also praised him sincerely.

"Really?" Gu Hong stood in front of the mirror, admiring his majestic self: "Cui Shang, please drive me, I'm going to the barracks to see Xiu'er."

Camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Han Mochu waited in front of the camp gate with two personal soldiers.

Yizhuxiang just got the news that he was going to pick him up. Han Mochu didn't have time to inform Gu Xiu or change his court clothes, so he wore the silver armor that he usually wears in the army and waited for the king's arrival.

After a stick of incense, the King Luan came from afar, and the old eunuch Cui Shang helped the King, who was dressed in black gold and heavy armor, to get off the car.The time Han Mo first entered Beijing was not too short, and it was the first time he saw the king's armor.

"The minister, Han Mochu, has met His Majesty."

"Excuse me." Gu Hong raised his hand and removed Cui Shang's support: "Where is the King of War?"

"Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhanwang is currently training troops, and because of the rush of time, His Highness did not know His Majesty was coming."

"Then you don't need to tell him. I came here on a whim. You don't have to let him be distracted. You can accompany me around this barracks." Gu Hong glanced at the front of his eyes. Han Mochu recovered his spirit.Sure enough, no matter how good the appearance of the man in the military camp was, he was as hard as iron, and he was no longer as itchy as when he pleaded for Gu Xiu that day.

Han Mochu took the decree, led the way for the king in front of the king, and walked deep into the barracks.

On the school grounds, Gu Xiuxiu was leading a group of heavily armored soldiers manipulating the giant crossbows, and those giant crossbows with a force sinking up to [-] stone were exactly the magic weapon used by Wang Shi to defeat the Turks this time.

Dozens of giant crossbows were fired at the same time under Gu Xiu's order, directly piercing the iron plate three inches behind the iron plate from a distance of sixty feet, and shattered the boulder behind the iron plate.

That row of mountains and sea-like scenes made the king couldn't help being surprised, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "Okay! It really deserves to be the blade of our country!"

"Your Majesty, this is just an ordinary giant crossbow. There is also a mountain crossbow in the army. After several years of reformation, its strength has reached more than [-] stones. It can also raise the arms of the bow and attack dangerous places." Han Mochu stood in front of him. A side reported back.

Gu Hong became interested for a while, and under the leadership of Han Mochu, he looked at the various large siege weapons in the barracks.Among these giant weapons, some are dedicated to attacking cities, some are dedicated to attacking mountains, some are erected on ships, and some can dominate the pastures.

"Okay, very good." Gu Hong caressed the iron sheets on the rims of those chariots. Over the years, he had complied with Gu Xiu's request to make weapons. is invincible.While Gu Hong was overjoyed, he thought about it again, frowned and said, "These things used in the army are all made by the King of War with his military merits and salary?"

"Return to Your Majesty, some are and some are not." Han Mochu replied truthfully: "However, His Highness's salary is indeed spent on these weapons and the armor of the army. His Highness is kind, and he does not see soldiers killed in battle, so every time he returns from a battle They will learn the lessons from the previous battle and spend huge sums of money to remake these weapons, just to reduce casualties. Nowadays, not only the military camps of the king's division, but also the military camps in various places have weapons rationed by His Highness one after another. His Highness said that they must be used in their lifetime All the seas submit to His Majesty's feet."

"This child..." The king shook his head with his hands behind his back, turned around and walked with Han Mochu in the barracks for half a day.

In the past half a day, Gu Hong discovered that under Gu Xiu's rectification, Master Wang's army had undergone earth-shaking changes.The weapons and equipment are all excellent, and the morale of the soldiers in the army is high.Because of Gu Xiu's care for the families of the fallen soldiers, everyone in the army is not afraid of life and death, and everyone thinks that the country is proud of dying in battle.This army, even better than too!The ancestor emperor was even stronger when he was alive, and they were all loyal to the king.These achievements will be recorded in the credit book belonging to his reign.

At noon, Gu Xiu, who had finished his practice for a long time, carried the long!The gun was back inside the barracks.I saw the king wearing black gold heavy armor, sitting in the camp tent, Han Mochu and Cui Shang, the head of internal officials, served by his side.Meals were already set on the table, the same bacon soup and white flour buns as the soldiers.

Gu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then raised the hem of his armor and knelt down on one knee, and said in a pleasant tone, "I see my father!"

"Get up, you've worked hard for half a day, sit down and eat." Gu Hong was very satisfied with Gu Xiu's reaction when he saw him, from dazed, to surprise, to respectful eyes.

"Why did the father come here today? Why doesn't my minister know?" Gu Xiu sat on the second seat, looking up at the king in armor: "My minister is not fully dressed, I'm rude."

"It's okay, I didn't want people to know." Gu Hong stretched out his hand and patted Gu Xiu's shoulder, and the two armors collided, making a small sound: "I just want to see your life in the army. See you today , my King of War is indeed worthy of being the God of War in our country."

"Father...you are too much." Gu Xiu raised his shoulders, his handsome face flushed with embarrassment: "My son is not that good."

"Okay, let's eat quickly. I will go for a walk with the horse in the afternoon."

A king who is over half a hundred years old is not as strong as before.That day he stayed in the barracks wearing armor for a whole day, and that night he developed a low-grade fever.

The imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse and said that he was overworked and needed a good health and well-being.

During these recuperation days, the king dreamed of Yunyao more and more.

Sometimes it's a dream, sometimes it's a nightmare.

The old eunuch Cui Shang reminded the king that maybe it was because of the approaching winter that his concubine Yunyao was suffering from the cold in that world, so the king had frequent dreams.

The king thought it was reasonable, and since then he has planned to go to Jinghua Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to practice peace with Yunyao.

It also occurred to him that Yunyao was still guilty, and as a king, he could not sacrifice publicly.They can only bring their children and grandchildren into the Jinghua Temple to burn incense and do good deeds under the banner of going out of the palace to enjoy the scenery.

The rare weather was just right on the day when the king went out. The pines and cypresses in Jinghua Temple were verdant and cypresses were green.

The king ordered several small tables to be set up in the courtyard, and each table had a steaming silver tooth tofu pot.Rinse some tender bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc. that are rare in winter.

It's warm and clean.

Because Gu Hong came here for Yunyao's peace, Gu Jin and Gu Xiu were also present.Empress Meng also rarely came to the front yard from Yunni'an, like a quiet and gentle host, bringing plain snacks and fragrant tea to the king and his children.

"Sister, do you think I've gained weight these days? Look, my chin is protruding." Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou moved her chin up to Gu Jin, eager to get an answer.

Ever since Gu Jin came back from Monan, she and Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou have become close friends in her boudoir.One is that Xu Jingrou is lively and lovable.The second reason is that Gu Jin is an only daughter, and she has only been surrounded by those bald boys since she was a child.With Xu Jingrou, she finally has someone who can talk about her daughter's family.

"Where is it protruding? Isn't it very flat?" Gu Jin lifted the handkerchief and stroked Xu Jingrou's face: "But what color is your rouge today? It's very playful."

"These are dried flowers baked in the spring of the house, and the colors are adjusted by myself. After all, everyone has different skin colors, and the rouge sold in the palace and the market has a single color, so it is not so suitable." Xu Jingrou waved her hand to signal the close body who was waiting for her. The maid Haitang brought over the small box of rouge that she brought with her: "Look, elder sister, I just made this a few days ago."

"It's still Rou'er who is skillful and careful." Gu Jin took the small box and dragged it up, put it under his nose and smelled it carefully: "The color of this rouge is good, and it smells sweet."

"If Elder Sister likes it, she can come to the house tomorrow. How about Rou'er calling some for Elder Sister?"

"Success, I'll bring you some sencha that you said was delicious that day, and make two chicken oil rolls."

"Your Highness, Sister Concubine Ning, what are you talking about?" Gu Jin and Xu Jingrou were comfortably talking about their little daughter's private affairs, and Princess Rui, Princess Shen also came to join in the fun.

Princess Rui's concubine Shen was originally the daughter of Chen Guogong's family. She was implicated by Gu Zhi in the past, and soon after she got married, she went to Lingnan, where she was ridiculed and looked down upon by her mother's sisters for several years.Now that Gu Zhi has returned, she is also in a hurry to get involved in the circle of these honorable wives, so as to earn some face for her husband and son-in-law.

"It's nothing, I'm just telling my elder sister that I've eaten a lot these days and I'm getting fat." Xu Jingrou lied, if Shen Shi knew that she had an appointment with Gu Jin tomorrow, she would have to cross her feet in front of her. It's not easy to refuse directly in front of the king and Mrs. Huining.Then she and Gu Jin will have no fun tomorrow.

Xu Jingrou also knew that this Shen family had no bad intentions, but she just didn't like her.

"I don't think Concubine Ning's sister is fat. Besides, Concubine Ning is young, so it's okay to eat more." Shen smiled coquettishly: "It doesn't look like I have already given birth."

Shen's expression was quite proud, and she didn't take into account that Gu Jin had lost a child in Monan.

Seeing that Gu Jin's eyes were wrong, Xu Jingrou picked up the handkerchief and coughed twice: "Eldest sister, it seems that the charcoal fire on the table of Father Emperor and Mrs. Hui Ning is not enough, let's go to the back and have a look."

"Okay." Gu Jin didn't say much, got up and followed Xu Jingrou back.Shen also wanted to follow, but was choked back by Gu Jin's words: "Princess Rui should go and take care of the eldest grandson of the emperor, be careful not to bump into it."

The eldest son, Sun Yurong, was almost two years old, and it was time to run around with his little feet.Placing Gu Xiu and Gu You's two young uncles to play sepak takraw with him.

Gu You has always been a child at heart, he forgot that he was an elder when he was playing, and ran away after grabbing Xiao Yurong's sepak takraw ball.

"Come on, come on, come and grab it."

Xiao Yurong stepped forward angrily, chasing forward upside down, babbling: "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Seeing this, Gu Xiu grabbed the little guy and chased after Gu You in two steps: "Take it here."

Holding the takraw ball, Gu You twisted his body to avoid Gu Xiu's pursuit: "Hey, you two are against one, this is cheating! I won't give it!"

Gu Hong sat not far away and watched the scene of his children and grandchildren chasing him, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.For so many years as a king, he rarely enjoyed family happiness like this.

Gu Xiu and Gu You chased around in circles for quite a while, but Gu You finally lost his strength.

"Okay, I admit defeat." Gu You sat down on the stone steps, held up the takraw ball and shook it at Xiao Yurong who was placed on the ground by Gu Xiu: "Come on, let's play for you."

Xiao Yurong ran over angrily and grabbed the takraw ball that was lost and recovered, and bit Gu You's arm with a snap.

"Ah!!!!" Gu You screamed, "How dare you bite people!!!!"

"Father!!!!" Gu You dragged his wrist, and ran in front of the king as if he had been seriously injured: "Father, let him bite me!"

"If you don't snatch his things, will he bite you?" Gu Hong glanced at the person, lowered his head and handed a piece of cake to Xiao Yurong who also threw himself on his knee: "Hey, eat this."

"Cut." Gu You pursed his lips, pointing at Xiao Yurong, who was holding a pastry on his hips, and said, "The second brother and sister-in-law and the second wife of the emperor don't have canine teeth, but you have a pair of canine teeth. Biting people hurts to death! "

As soon as this remark came out, Prince Rui Gu Zhi, who had been serving tea by the king's side, suddenly changed his expression, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Yurong's cheek: "Why are you so unruly? How can I teach you on weekdays? of?"

Xiao Yurong suffered from pain and cried out with a "wow".With this crying, he spit out all the cakes he just ate.

"What are you doing? How old is he?" Gu Hongxin gave Gu Zhi a displeased look: "Is it only when you make me cry to be happy?"

When Shen heard the cry of the youngest son, she ran over quickly, hugged the crying child in her arms, kissed and coaxed the crying child.

The child and Shen Shi didn't seem to be close, the more Shen Shi coaxed the child, the more he cried.Empress Meng, who cried so much that she was always reluctant to speak in front of the king, was moved with compassion.

"Princess Rui, show the child to the poor nun." Empress Meng stood up and hugged the child in her arms very skillfully.

It was the first time for a child less than two years old to see Queen Meng, and he didn't even struggle when being hugged.Sitting in the arms of the man with tears in his eyes, weeping.

"Good boy, don't cry." Queen Meng wiped Xiao Yurong's crying cheeks with a soft handkerchief: "Are you wronged?"

Xiao Yurong seemed to understand Lan Nu, her little head went straight into Empress Meng's Buddhist robes, and said with a sob: "It hurts...so bad..."

"Xuefu, this child seems to be destined for you." Gu Hong also came over and took another piece of soft cake and put it in the child's hand: "Eat it, don't cry."

Xiao Yurong squeezed between the two kind people, stopped crying after a while, climbed down from Empress Meng's lap, and showed off to Gu You with cakes on her little feet: "Cake! Cake!"

"Haha! You have cakes, right!" Gu You exaggerated and made a fierce expression: "The big tiger is here to catch you!"

Xiao Yurong cleverly ran to Gu Xiu's side and hugged Gu Xiu's thigh, but as expected she was picked up again by Gu Xiu, and the three of them played together lively again.

At dusk at the end of the day, Gu Xiu came back from Jinghua Temple.In his hand was a large box of snacks made by Empress Meng.

In the study, Han Mochu was setting up a chessboard under the lamp.

Black and white are still intertwined on the chessboard, but the white chess seems to have taken some of the upper hand.

"Your Highness is back? How did you go to Jinghua Temple today?" Han Mochu put down the sunspot in his hand, and got up from behind the table.

"Yeah." Gu Xiu put the food box on the small table beside him: "Would you like to try the snacks given by Mrs. Hui Ning before leaving?"

Han Mochu glanced at the big sunflower-shaped food box, and reached out to open the lid.In the box are six snacks that Gu Xiu usually likes to eat.Only in the center are a few candied golden jujubes that Gu Xiusu doesn't like to eat very much.

Han Mochu reached out to take a candied fruit and tasted it, it was an unusual taste.However, when Han Mo first tasted the taste, he was very keenly aware of the serious wrinkle between Gu Xiu's eyebrows.

"Your Highness, why do you have such a bad look?" Han Mochu picked up a candied fruit and brought it to Gu Xiu's mouth.

"It's nothing." Gu Xiu opened his mouth and took half of the candied fruit. The sweet taste made Gu Xiu frowned even deeper: "Let Mr. Su come to the house tomorrow, I have something to ask him."

"What do you want to ask, Your Highness?"

"One, a major event related to the royal blood."
