After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

In the early morning, Gu Xiu, dressed in a red golden dragon court dress and wearing a crown of three streamers, knelt in front of the king's bed and served soup and medicine for the king.After the king drank the medicine, he kowtowed to the court.

Ever since Gu Xiu returned to the court and lived in the palace with the Warrant of Supervisor, he has been like this every day.

After Gu Xiu came to the court, about half an hour later, Princess Qingzhao and Empress Meng would bring the breakfast they made by themselves, and they would eat and talk with the king.Since the king was seriously ill, these daily services had not been done by others.The queens and princesses of the dynasty seem to have become the wives and daughters of ordinary people.

After the court meeting, King Ning Gu You will also enter the inner palace to pay his respects to the king, massage the king's legs that are sometimes weak, and talk vividly about what happened in the court today and how Gu Xiu handled it.Or where and where something new was produced, and where and where a big victory was won.There is also the fetal portrait of Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou, Gu You said that Xu Jingrou's taste has become more strange since she got older, and she doesn't know what happened to eating raw bamboo shoots for a month.

Every time Gu You came, he would make the king laugh.

Concubine Ning Xu Jingrou is seven months pregnant, so it is difficult to move frequently, but Concubine Li will still occasionally bring Xu Jingrou to greet the king.Xu's bulging belly seems to make Gu Hong more happy than Gu You's jokes and good news from the front line.

The king also knew about the news that Concubine Xie Zhang was pregnant, and it was Gu Jin who told him.After the king heard about it, he couldn't see any joy, so he just ordered Gu Jin to send some commonly used things and take care of them, so there was no need for the couple to enter the palace to pay their respects.

King Duan Gu Shen came here once in a wheelbarrow, and the king only allowed him to salute in the courtyard, and then sent him out of the palace with Concubine Shu.

At night, Gu Xiu, who had dealt with government affairs, would still come to serve soup and medicine with Gu Hong, and he would leave after asking him how he was.

After that, the favorite minister Nan Xi will come over to play the piano for the king.The king's illness frequently causes nightmares, and he can only barely calm his mind by listening to the piano every day.

The weather is getting hotter, but the king's illness is still not improving, and his spirit is getting worse and worse.

One day, after Gu You ate two pieces of watermelon and left, the king vomited another mouthful of thick blood.

"Cui Shang, how long do you think I will have?" Gu Hong rinsed his mouth feebly, then lay on the bed numbly.During the days when he was ill, the people around him were close relatives, there was no intrigue, no intrigue, and he enjoyed the family happiness that he rarely enjoyed in these years.

The more so, the more afraid he was.

Fearing that the day when the deadline is approaching, he will lose everything.

"Your Majesty, don't think about it too much. Didn't Master Zhang say that His Majesty has improved?" The old eunuch Cui Shang stroked the king's chest and said, "Don't think about it, just think about His Royal Highness Zhan Wang, He wholeheartedly believes that His Majesty will get well."

"That's right, that silly boy." Gu Hong smiled wryly, "He still wants to ride a horse on the school field with me."

Mentioning Gu Xiu, Gu Hong's eyes brightened again.

These days, Gu You would tell him about Gu Xiu's performance in the previous court almost every day.

Ever since Gu Xiu took power to oversee the country, there has been no disturbance in the state affairs.Although Gu Xiu is in power, all he can do is to stabilize the government and stabilize the people, and extinguish all the discussions in the court.Carry forward the state affairs he formulated, and slowly untangle the crux left by him, as if he can return a stable political situation to his hands anytime, anywhere.

In ancient times, when the king was seriously ill and handed over power, no monarch could live as peacefully and comfortably as he does today.

Yongxi 23 years, July.

Han Mochu returned from the battlefield of Linhai and crossing the river, and brought back the seals of the seventeen small countries on the banks of the river and sea.

After a few months, see Gu Xiu again.

Gu Xiu had already put on the crown and stood in court.Before the ministers, they were able to give orders.Gu Xiu, who is at a weak age, can't see a little bit of ignorance, but at the same time, he has a very appropriate measure. He has become a ruler without revealing any ambitions.

Gu Xiu has always been like this, both smart and cautious.He won't really see himself as emperor until all is said and done.

Han Mochu handed over the Tiger Talisman to Gu Xiu, went to the Ministry of War to hand in the commander's seal, removed his armor and entered the palace, and stood beside Gu Xiu as a subject.

Both he and Gu Xiu knew in their hearts that the palace was no match for Zhan Wangfu.

The two of them are monarchs and ministers at this time, and they have always maintained the proper advance and retreat between ministers and departments.

At the end of the night and dusk, Gu Xiu held a roll of war maps measuring one zhang square, and circled the small kingdoms that had been recovered one by one with the king on the map at the edge of the territory of the Great Zhou.

"Father, these small island countries are all considered to belong to Zhou Tu. How should we deal with the matter of the garrison and officials pushing the government?"

"Xiu'er can deal with it however he wants." Gu Hong looked at the ever-expanding territory, and the blood in his heart that had been silent for many years was stirred up again. , is his country.It was his son who spelled it out for him with one knife and one gun.If he could, he really wanted to sit up again and take charge of the universe again.But the fact is that he can only say one sentence with infinite sadness: "Father believes in you, so just let go and do it."

"Yes, my son obeys the order."

Gu Xiu lowered his head and fell on the side of the king's couch. Gu Hong happily raised his hand and stroked Gu Xiu's back: "Good boy, are you tired?"

Gu Xiu nodded silently, then raised his eyes and said, "Father, if you are tired from the past, can someone walk with you?"

Gu Hong's weak movements froze for a moment, and then he said in a warm voice: "Go back and rest when you're tired, and the emperor will also rest."

Gu Xiu propped himself up according to his words, stepped back two steps and kowtowed to the king to bid farewell.

In the dead of night, the king raised the hand that was on Gu Xiushun's back just now and slapped himself hard without warning.

This slap, he slapped for Yunyao.

At first, he just regretted the past.It wasn't until he became seriously ill that he truly regretted it.Every time Gu Xiu served the decoction in front of his bed, it was a kind of silent delay to him.

He doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve that kid to treat him so well.

When Gu Xiu returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion where Xuanzheng Hall could live, Han Mochu had already sorted out all the memorials to be reviewed for him.

Gu Xiu sat silently behind the desk, opened the first memorial on the top, and a little fox made of red paper suddenly fell out.

Gu Xiu subconsciously raised his eyes to look, under the soft bright light, Han Mochu's gentle smiling face was like clear water and clear waves, which instantly melted Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu didn't say a word, and turned out another little fox that was close to him.

Two little foxes, one new and one old, stand on the pen holder next to the table case, lifelike and lively.

Gu Xiu reviewed the memorial after the table case, and Han Mochu moved to the embroidery pier to study ink with others.The two didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but they just knew what each other was going to do next.

Regarding the seventeen small countries that were competing for destruction, Gu Xiu's handling method was very clever. He only sent troops to garrison first, and then sent officials from the court to govern together with the original rulers. The court system will not be changed for the time being.

This move is to first find out the customs and national conditions of these small countries, and then adjust measures to local conditions, so as to avoid accidents.Second, because the king is still alive, it is impossible for Gu Xiu to carry out the New Deal.If the old policy is carried out first, and then the new policy is introduced, it will inevitably make the local people think that it is a change of order.

At the court meeting a few days later, Yushi Liang Minzhong made side-talking remarks, as if he wanted to hint at Gu Xiu.

After the court dismissed, Gu Xiu took advantage of the situation and kept Master Liang.

As expected, Liang Minzhong reported something to Gu Xiu, that is, King Xie Gu Yan had secretly contacted him during the confinement period.

Because he had colluded with Han Ming twice when Han Ming was prime minister, King Xie Gu Yan threatened him that if Gu Xiuru was in power, he would clean up all the officials related to Han Ming in the past.The implication was that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to deal with Gu Xiu after the death of the king.

At that time, he made a few perfunctory sentences with a guilty conscience, and then sent away the cronies sent by King Xun Gu Yan.Afterwards, he checked carefully, and found that in the past few days, King Xi Gu Yan had no less than dozens of subordinates of Han Mingjiu who had been linked.So in order to show his innocence, he came here to report to Gu Xiu.

After Gu Xiu listened, he only replied: "Understood."

Han Mochu took advantage of the situation and sent the anxious Liang Minzhong out.

After returning, Han Mochu and Gu Xiu looked at each other.Gu Xiu sighed deeply, rubbed his sore eyelids, and said in a low voice, "After all, we still have to make such a fuss."

Han Mochu knew how difficult this matter was, and after he heard that Princess Xuan was pregnant, he expected that such a day would come.He just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.King Xun did it so blatantly.Because Gu Xiu is not the heir apparent right now, if the matter is thoroughly investigated and King Xun Gu Yan is dealt with according to national law.After Gu Xiu came to the throne, he would inevitably bear the notoriety of murdering his brother and taking the position.

Such and such gossip would even accompany Gu Xiu every day and night for the rest of his life.

No matter how clear the secretary of Gongbi History is, there will still be people who criticize it.

After another two days, Yushi Liang Minzhong developed some fever rash, and he was unable to attend court at home on leave.

In the dead of night, there were only the two of them in the huge study room.

After reading the leave post, Gu Xiu shook his head and sighed, "It's Mr. Su's good medicine again, isn't it?"

"Yes, if you want to save His Royal Highness King Xie's life right now, you can only make him sick for a while." Han Mochu sat beside Gu Xiu, and they studied ink sticks bit by bit.

"Speaking of which, what is this?" Gu Xiu propped up half of his forehead, and said helplessly, "A person wants to kill me, and I have to do my best to save his life."

"Actually, if His Majesty makes His Highness the crown prince at this time, everything will be solved easily." Han Mochu said.

"Father will never appoint a crown prince." Gu Xiu tapped his painful forehead with his fingers: "Master knows that the Great Zhou has established the country for more than [-] years, and there has always been a saying that the crown prince is established and the king is dead. No matter how much you trust me, no matter how much you love me, you will always leave yourself a step back. He is afraid that if he establishes a prince today, he will not be able to live tomorrow. Therefore, he will never establish a reserve, and he will always hold a bargaining chip in his hand .”

Han Mochu made it clear, Zitai!At the beginning of the ancestral dynasty, the first emperor personally poisoned his two younger brothers to death one year after he was appointed as the crown prince, and three years later the empress dowager!The ancestor emperor died of illness in the palace.

too!This is true of the ancestor emperor, and so is the former emperor.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Gu Hong would never let the dust settle even at the moment before he died.

How ironic it is to be close relatives.

"Your Highness, Mr. Joining the Army, Princess Qingzhao has arrived." A little eunuch in front of the door announced loudly outside the door of the outer room.

Gu Xiu put down the penholder in his hand, and greeted him outside the door together with Han Mochu.

Princess Qingzhao was wearing a light blue moon gauze palace dress, with only two jade hairpins pinned to her head, she could tell at a glance that she had returned from outside the palace.

Gu Jin held a food box in his hand, looked at Gu Xiu, and sighed softly.

On that day, Gu Xiu revealed to Gu Jin the details of what Gu Yan was planning, and Gu Jin took Princess Ning Xu Jingrou with many things for production. Gu Jin even made a box of white jade hibiscus with his own hands. cake.

When they arrived at the gate of Prince Xun's Mansion, the young servant who greeted the door directly refused the two of them, even refusing to leave anything behind.

Both Gu Xiu and Gu Jin knew in their hearts that Gu Yan was determined to compete with Gu Xiu.

Gu Jin put the food box in Gu Xiu's hand, "Since your fourth brother won't eat it, you and Han Canjun should eat it."

Gu Xiu took the food box without a word, already thinking about where to go in the next moment.

Gu Jin reached out and patted his younger brother's broad shoulders, and said gently and firmly: "Don't be afraid, the elder sister is here, and the queen mother is here."
