In order to help Fu Donglou to gain prestige, Gu Xian asked the courtiers to report to Fu Donglou in advance, so when Fu Donglou hurried to the palace to discuss the fraud case with Gu Xian, Gu Xian didn't know anything about it.

"It actually reached out to the imperial examination. The man behind this matter is not the second person except Li Tan." Gu Xian smiled, looked up and saw Fu Donglou sitting beside him on the couch with his head drooping, and he knew Fu Donglou in his heart. Lou was thinking about something, so he comforted, "Sit down and talk about something, you've been busy all day, don't feel tired."

Fu Donglou sat down as he said, with a dejected expression that was not at all as decisive as he was in front of Zhao Shangshu just now: "Father, did I do something wrong?"

"Oh? What's wrong, let's hear it?"

"I shouldn't have made any reforms and innovations to reveal the exam questions in advance. If I didn't, how could someone with a heart take advantage of the loopholes. Some time ago, the matter of taking over the imperial court became smoother and smoother. I was a little carried away, and I was too eager for quick success."

"Do you know how the palace celebrates the New Year every year?"

"Ah?" Fu Donglou was taken aback.Gu Xian's question was too sudden and too far from the previous topic, Fu Donglou couldn't react for a while.

"This year is the enthronement ceremony on the first day of the first year, the grand ceremony after the third day of junior high school, and the grand ceremony on the sixth day of junior high school. There are important events one after another, and the New Year's Eve banquet and other rituals such as the New Year's Eve banquet are omitted in the palace. To put it simply, there is no Chinese New Year." Gu Xian said as he knocked on the small table next to the cakes, and then pointed to the clothes on his body, "If it really follows the rules, the rewards for food, clothing and palace people in the palace are all meticulous and trivial. It’s something that can’t go wrong again. When you, the Queen of the Central Palace, take care of these things in person next year, can you guarantee that everything will go smoothly?”

Gu Xian educated his son to seldom talk straight to the point, and sometimes he would go around the corner when comforting others, and it was the same with Bo Junhe and Donglou in this way.Following Gu Xian's words, Fu Donglou thought for a while, and asked contemplatively, "I understand what my father meant. Everyone will have many firsts, and mistakes are inevitable for the first time, but I was really impulsive this time."

Gu Xian smiled: "You understand the problem yourself, so why should I teach you? Young people should relax and do it boldly. How can you achieve success after you have sharpened your energy? No matter what you do wrong, as long as the country is not subjugated The catastrophe of extermination will always be supported by your mother, queen, father, king and me."

Seeing that Fu Donglou seemed to be blaming himself, Gu Xian cut him off and said, "If your idea of ​​the imperial examination reform this time really has a fundamental problem, I wouldn't have let you go without saying a word. You carry it out. Thieves are causing trouble, can you still guard against it every day? They don’t take advantage of the imperial examinations, and they will do it in other places; It’s not the first time I hit you.”

"Furthermore, now that the fraud case is here, you have already dealt with it. According to my father, it is very appropriate for you to ask Mr. Zhao to hold back the wind and secretly investigate the people behind the scenes. You came here overnight for your father and avoided it." People have eyes and ears, and they are also cautious. You can do this when you are new to government affairs, and you have done a good job. Now it is better to find a way to solve this matter than continue to complain about yourself."

"What father said is that the son has made a fool of himself." Fu Donglou bowed.

"You are the queen of Dachu, and He'er loves you. You and he are both people above tens of millions. You must not lose your momentum. Being a father does not mean that you will be self-willed and arbitrary, but sometimes, your body As a superior, even if you do something wrong, you can’t admit it. You have to let the people below know that even if you really did something wrong, they can only think that you did it right. Once you lose your momentum, people with bad intentions will If you will think that you are easy to manipulate and easy to be manipulated by others, then the consequences will be serious."

After all, Fu Donglou was not used to it, so he frowned and thought about it respectfully, and replied: "The son will figure out what is appropriate, and the son will remember his father's teachings."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law had figured it out by herself, Gu Xian stopped talking, nodded and said: "San Jusi said that it was a secret investigation, but that was only for the common people. In the eyes of the people behind the scenes, San Jusi is probably the same as his own family. It’s no different, it’s no secret, it’s just a feint attack to attract the attention of the enemy. The hidden guards trained by your father are now in the hands of my father, and my father will order them to do it, and I will inform you when there is news.”

"The son is here to ask his father to call the hidden guards. With the help of the hidden guards, this matter will be resolved as soon as possible."

After finishing the business, Gu Xian's love for his daughter-in-law came up: "Since Zhao Shangshu asked you to go there in a hurry, it must be useless for you to have dinner. Father asked them to do whatever they want to eat."

As soon as Gu Xian said that Fu Donglou was really hungry, he couldn't think of what to eat for a while, so he said: "Just cook a bowl of noodles, it's getting late, and I don't have the appetite to eat those delicate ones, it's a waste of time and effort." It is necessary to toss all the people in the dining room."

"You are considerate of servants." Gu Xian said high-five and passed Wang Sheng in.

"What's your master's order?"

"Give the queen a bowl of noodles. You can decide what to serve with it. It should be lighter. If you eat greasy food at night, you will feel uncomfortable."

"Your servant will arrange it now." Wang Sheng said and saluted Dong Lou, "Please tell Your Majesty where to eat."

Gu Xian was always thinking of himself, Fu Donglou felt at ease, and asked naturally: "Father, would you like to have some supper together?"

Gu Xian thought for a while, then nodded: "Let's put it in Lindeju, and this king will also use some."

Wang Shengde ordered him to retreat, and Gu Xian said again: "Now the key of the palace gate is released at this time, if you go back, you will surely alarm many people. Tomorrow is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, so you can rest in the palace today. It won’t be too late to go back to the palace when I wake up tomorrow.”

When Fu Donglou left the palace, he only cared about the fraud case, he really didn't think about how he would go back, since Gu Xian had spoken, he followed suit like a follower.No matter how you say it caused trouble for Gu Xian, Fu Donglou felt that he should stay and accompany Gu Xian to fulfill his filial piety.Now that Rui Wang's mansion is only lived by Gu Xian, it is a bit deserted, if he often visits Bo Junhe and knows, he will feel at ease.

This room Fu Donglou accompanied Gu Xian to have a very warm meal, but Li Tan couldn't eat anything but was worried.

"You haven't eaten all day, so warm your stomach with a bowl of soup." Feng Yi took a bowl of stomach nourishing soup and walked into the study, seeing Li Tan's pale complexion, he couldn't help frowning.

Lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Feng Yi, Li Tan asked nonchalantly, "Do you also think I'm a fool?"

"Are you a fool? If you are a fool, are there any smart people in the world?" Feng Yi smiled and put the soup bowl in front of Li Tan, "Isn't it just that Ge Shucheng was defeated and died, you just think of him doubt yourself?"

"It's not because of him, or not just because of him." Li Tan was a little absent-minded when he spoke, rubbing his fingers along the edge of the soup bowl.

"What's that for?"

"Why did Ge Shucheng resist the decree? It was nothing more than wanting to win credit. Why did Li Shi go to poison Fu Donglou? It was also because he wanted to win credit." Li Tan sneered, "I knew it when I was here. It’s broken. From the emperor to the courtiers, they are all for their own self-interest. There are a few who really care about the country and the country. Since the Kaiyuan period, the emperor’s grandfather has abandoned the government, and the courtiers under him have been busy. They are afraid that others will show their faces and suffer losses. But my mind has never been used on the right way. The whole world is living in the dream of the Kaiyuan prosperity, thinking that the huge country will not be defeated, but what is the result?"

"Why bother to say this? Didn't you allow Li Tang to die at the hands of the two Anshi thieves because you saw through all these dirty things, and wanted to teach the Li family a lesson?" Feng Yi vaguely guessed the reason for Li Tan's bad mood but didn't To put it bluntly, he also understood the meaning of Li Tan's question just now.His Li Tan has always been conceited, as if he is a god, playing with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his palm and wanting to give it to whomever, even if the other party is the emperor, he can only wag his tail at his feet and beg for mercy.It's a pity that he is not a true god, he still has a human heart.

"It's only been a few days since the restoration of the country. From the royal family to the courtiers, one by one has grown old. In fact, I know in my heart that resentment and hatred have always prevailed in their hearts. They have never reflected on themselves. If I can, I really want to drag on." In ten or eight years, we will talk about restoring the country, but in another ten or eight years, the hearts of the world will return to Chu, and even if they want to understand the restoration of the country, there is no hope."

The palms of his palms were warmed red by the warm soup bowl, and the heat spread along his arms to his whole body, making Li Tan's cheeks a little redder, but it only made his expression more desolate.

"In the past year, our plan has repeatedly made mistakes. Although we have remedied it, it has greatly reduced the final effect. When I tried to win Beiyan, I knew that my fight would end in failure... Knowing the truth It is both courageous and stupid to do what cannot be done."

Holding Li Tan's hand, Feng Yi leaned close to him and kissed him softly on the cheek: "You just want to prove yourself stupid after talking so much, so it shows that you are really stupid. But it's better to be stupid, you are too shrewd and tired , I feel distressed when I see it. What's more, smart people always look at six roads and listen to all directions, and care about everything too much. Only stupid people will concentrate on only one person. You put all your heart on me, not to make me beautiful .”

Feng Yi's persuasion didn't work, but Li Tan's complicated eyes cast him deeply.

"As a bystander, your mind was clearer than mine at that time. In fact, you have already thought about today's situation, so you refused to take over the Jizhou army in place of Geshucheng. If it was you who went to fight Baijunhe, Sizhou How could it be easily lost, and how could the Jizhou Army have suffered such a disastrous defeat. You just don't want Li Tang, a seriously ill man, to be dying, but as a descendant of the Li family, I..."

Feng Yi shook his head, and replied calmly and sincerely: "I don't know."

Feng Yi's eyes were too clear, Li Tan couldn't lie to himself that Feng Yi was lying.

"Then why... But I have an order and you can do it all, why are you so stubborn this time!"

"In the past, you were the King Jianning of the Great Tang Dynasty and the national teacher of the Great Chu State. Relatively speaking, you were always safe. Even if there were some dangers, you could escape safely. I don't worry. But now you are the emperor of Li Tang, from Beiyan. The avengers, the enemies from Chu, and those of your Li family who are craving for power, none of them would like to kill you. I dare to leave you when you know that they are in the dark."

Holding Li Tan into his arms, Feng Yi buried his head on the side of his neck: "What you want is the world and what I want is you. Jiangshan is not as good as you in my eyes. If you want Jiangshan, I will naturally help you But the premise is that you are safe and sound. In the current situation, your throne is a sea of ​​swords and flames, how can I leave you to seize the country."

Li Tan leaned on Feng Yi and slowly closed his eyes, and sighed for a while: "God's will..."
