Gu Ran is young and mature, and he has seen many things very clearly since he was a child.
His biological father was the youngest son of Prince Rui. As Prince Rui was old, he had children and grandchildren all over the place. He didn't have the energy to discipline the youngest son's every move.
Gu Ran was smart since childhood, and he also wanted to be close to his father. But his father's absurd behavior again and again completely chilled his little heart. His mother died after giving birth to him, and his father didn't value him, so Gu Ran slowly became silent, and developed a temperament of not being in the limelight or showing off to others.
Although Gu Ran didn't pay attention, he was not sad. He likes to read books. The gentlemen in the house are very talented. Although they don’t teach these children deeply, Gu Ran seems to be born with reading skills. The “Thousand Characters” was written down only twice, but he didn’t tell anyone else. , just trying to start looking at some simple books.
There were two gentlemen who came with them, and they looked very excited: "Great victory in Northern Xinjiang... General triumph..."
Gu Ran was a little curious, he silently listened to the conversation of the gentleman on the corridor by the window. This was the first time he heard the deeds of the saint. The sage was completely different from his father, and at a young age, he was already powerful. The gentlemen discussed the Sage's tone of respect, fear, but reverence. Gradually, Gu Ran thought in his heart that the Sage is so powerful.
Gu Ran slowly went to school, and began to look forward to the next day someone could continue to tell the magnificent story of the saint.
But such opportunities were too few, so he took the initiative to find Mr., sat aside under the surprised eyes of Mr., raised his face and asked: "Sir, Lord..."
Mr. continued to talk.
This year, Gu Ran has become a lot more lively and cheerful, and powerful people will always arouse the enthusiasm of others. Even if Gu Ran is a small child, he can't help but yearn to see the heroic appearance of the saint with his own eyes.
This opportunity is coming soon.
Eunuchs were sent from the palace to select children from various clan houses and send them to Concubine Wan. Gu Ran has always avoided this kind of opportunity to show off, but after knowing that Concubine Wan was the mother concubine of the saint, he stood up without thinking, ran to the eunuch from the palace, and said earnestly. : "I can make tea, dress, read, and I can read to the concubine."
The eunuch looked at him in astonishment, and then he really got someone to bring a book, Gu Ran read it word by word, and said calmly if he didn't know the words: "I'll never forget it if I've seen it."
Prince Rui next to him turned his attention to this little grandson again, as if he had known Gu Ran for the first time.
Gu Ran usually keeps a low profile, as if there is no such person in the huge Rui Wangfu. But he was also very bold, and he would do whatever he wanted. Whether it was asking the gentleman or running to the eunuch in the palace, others could not see a trace of timidity and shyness from him.
He only knows how to do it, and there is only one word left.
As expected, Gu Ran was taken to Concubine Wan, and there were five children with him. Concubine Wan is the mother concubine of the sage, and Gu Ran respects and loves her. Since the purpose of coming to Concubine Wan was to take care of Concubine Wan, Gu Ran naturally had to do her part.
He studied for Concubine Wan, a point that no one among the children could compare to him. These children are naturally smart, but they don't have the ability to remember Gu Ran, so the concubine remembered him, and often looked at him with a smile and said to the maid next to him, "The emperor also loves to read. A few years ago, the candlelight in Xuanzheng Hall never went out day and night, and I had to tell me to have a rest."
Gu Ran quietly pricked up his ears and listened.
The maid of honor smiled and said, "The saint is very knowledgeable in love of books, and the world is so prosperous that it is not a waste of our saint's hard work."
Concubine Wan's expression flashed with thoughts, Gu Ran said, since the concubine misses the saint, why can't she see the saint
Concubine Wan also said, "I also want to see the emperor."
The maid bowed her head in embarrassment and said something in Taifei Wan's ear. Concubine Wan was stunned, and after a while she laughed, "What you said is."
She put away her thoughts, but the expression between her eyebrows was even more sad, and she just kept it in her heart and didn't say anything. Gu Ran glanced at the palace maid and continued to read with her head down.
Day by day, I don't know when it started, Concubine Wan's heart seemed to be completely gone, and her body exuded the smell of corruption and withering. When she started lying on the bed, the maid finally sent someone to inform the saint in a panic.
Concubine Wan said sharply, "No!"
But her voice was so weak that only Gu Ran could hear it. Gu Ran saw the hurried footsteps of the people in the room, so he got off the stool and calmly said, "The concubine is not allowed to send someone."
The room suddenly fell silent, and the maid came to persuade: "Miss, don't you want to take a look at the saint?"
She said a lot, and the desire in Concubine Wan's heart burst out. She nodded involuntarily, and there seemed to be anger on her colorless face.
Gu Ran was a little sad for some reason.
The sage quickly rushed over. This was the first time Gu Ran had seen the sage. The saint was full of dust and haggard, and Gu Ran suddenly became excited. He said loudly, "Uncle Huang is here!"
The saint glanced at him hastily, and rushed into the house.
Crying, mourning, dying, panicking.
Those days were too dark to see the light of day.
Gu Ran was taken to Prince Rui's mansion, and Prince Rui asked him how the Sage is now. Gu Ran saw that Sheng Shang fainted, but he lowered his head and said calmly, "Grandson doesn't know."
The current situation of the Holy One cannot be known to others.
Prince Rui didn't say anything, he just looked at Gu Ran again. Gu Ran's expression remained unmoved, but his heart was uneasy. After a long time, Prince Rui waved him away. When Gu Ran stepped out of the door, he seemed to hear Prince Rui whispering with the people beside him, "This child is unusual..."
Gu Ran was in the mansion and did not know the news outside. Some of the boys in the mansion were jealous of his honor of being chosen to be with Concubine Wan, and they used inconspicuous means to annoy Gu Ran again and again. Gu Ran doesn't care about this, he is just a little worried about the saint.
Has the saint woke up? Is Concubine Wan buried
After more than ten days, the dark clouds on the top were suddenly dispelled by the scorching sun. Lord Rui sent someone to look for Gu Ran. He laughed in front of Gu Ran and patted his thigh happily, "Wang Liqing, Wang Liqing, you are finally dead. It's gone!"
Gu Ran listened quietly.
Prince Rui stared at him with burning eyes: "Did you know that the saint was in a coma for several days?"
Gu Ran paused, drooping his eyelids, still in the same tone: "Grandson guessed it."
Prince Rui stared at him for a long time, and opened his mouth to tell Gu Ran that the Holy General had a plan to force him out. Gu Ran couldn't help but smile after hearing this, this is the saint.
Gu Ran never felt that he was special, nor that he was likable. But after being led into the palace with the others, and after vaguely knowing what the sage was going to do, he regretted that he was not likable.
The rules in the palace are strict, but the Holy Master treats these children very tolerantly. Here, Gu Ran also talked to General Xue Yuan, who was famous all over the world because of the battle in Northern Xinjiang. This general looked scary, but he spoke well. Especially when it comes to the sage, the pride and joy in General Xue's eyes cannot be concealed. Gu Ran likes everyone who likes the sage. He respects this general, but he just thinks that General Xue's words seem to have some deep meaning, and he doesn't understand.
After that, like a dream, Gu Ran was brought into the palace by the saint.
Gu Ran was dizzy. He wasn't happy because he was chosen by the sage, but he was also happy because he was chosen by the sage. When it comes to complexity, the excitement in my heart only thinks: The most powerful person in the world is about to become his father
This man is going to be his father!
Since then, the sage has become the father emperor. The father emperor treats Gu Ran very well, and Gu Ran has never been a good son to others. Sheng Shang learned to be a good father, and he learned to be a good son.
Once, Gu Ran had a dream in the night. He dreamed that he had returned to the Hebei Summer Palace, and saw the scene where the maid persuaded Concubine Wan to suppress her thoughts. He couldn't help walking in front of the two of them, his ears close, and he heard what the maid of the palace said.
The maid of the palace said: "The Holy One is busy, and the palace and the capital can go back and forth in just a few days. The Holy One is not in good health, and if he really misses you, he will naturally come. But if you don't come, your thoughts will only become a burden for the Holy One, so don't tell me. , so that the saint will not be tired."
Concubine Wan silently put away her thoughts.
Gu Ran's heart was filled with anger, and he shouted at the palace maid: "Bold!"
But as soon as he said this, he woke up from his dream. Gu Ran went to his father in a panic, and talked with the saint about the things in his dream, and talked about the strangeness of the big palace maid.
The sage's expression slowly changed, and he clenched his fists repressively, showing a bit of pain and sadness, "Of course, brother, the royal father knows."
But Gu Ran felt that the father had already known about it.
He was sent out of the palace by the palace attendant, and General Xue walked out with him and said coldly, "You made him sad."
Gu Ran looked up at him blankly.
General Xue lowered his head, those deep, deep eyes seemed to be able to swallow people's hearts, he warned: "This is not an example."
Gu Ran's insight is not nonsense. From this day on, he could vaguely see something from his father Huang and General Xue. After the royal father and the others returned from their long-term expedition in Xixia, this vague feeling became more obvious.
General Xue is special to his father.
Father Emperor is the only one for General Xue.
The more time passed, the more unique their uniqueness became. After Gu Ran figured it out, he followed his father's wishes and treated General Xue as his mother-in-law.
It's just that every time General Xue sees his filial look, his expression gets twisted.
"His Royal Highness," the little companion next to him ran over, and Bai Nennen's face was covered with residue from the pastry, "what are you thinking about?"
Gu Ran regained his senses and calmly said, "Brother Yi, how can you eat so much."
Chu Yi obediently put down what was in his hand and wiped his face with a handkerchief, "Go back to your Highness, today is my nephew coming to study, I was afraid that my nephew was hungry, so I went to deliver the cakes, but my nephew won't eat it, so I will eat it. already."
Gu Ran sighed helplessly, and looked forward from Chu Yi's side, meeting the eyes of the famous scholar Chu Wei.
Chu Wei saluted him, and Gu Ran nodded politely.
Chu Yi sighed like a little adult, "My nephew doesn't like talking anymore."
Gu Ran was thoughtful.
Children always grow very fast. When General Xue came back from the Silk Road, Gu Ran was already like a green willow, jumping up and down. About to be crowned.
The companion reading around him also grew up and began to become an official. There are many temptations and ups and downs along the way, but the royal father protects Gu Ran very well, and Gu Ran's character is also very firm. .
But it was too much. After he established the crown, he was thrown into the custody of the country, and watched General Xue abduct his father to the northern border.
The father and General Xue stayed in the northern Xinjiang for three months. When they returned to Beijing, the father was half-smiling, but General Xue's expression was ugly and stiff.
When Gu Ran asked for peace, he overheard the conversation between his father and General Xue by chance.
"Xue Jiuyao, what about the big gift you said?"
"… "
The royal father hummed, with a strong sense of humor: "I can't find the place where I put it. It's such a big grassland, you don't even think about it when you bury things."
General Xue said in a sullen voice, "Anyway, that piece of land is already the Holy Land, and things are buried under the Holy Land."
The father smiled.
General Xue was outside, and he was a secret emissary who was unpredictable. Facing his father, who always looked like a young hairy boy, Gu Ran smiled and walked out of the palace.
This time, the father emperor and General Xue went out to the northern Xinjiang, not for fun, but because of the civil strife in the northern Khitan. The father and the emperor have been waiting for this civil strife for a long time, and they built a college on the nomads' territory to preach them. Henghua, using the prosperity of the mutual market to provide all the things the nomads want, all of this is destined for the nomads today.
Daheng dispatched troops to rectify the border that had been fighting due to civil strife. Daheng's cavalry swept away the shame, allowing the nomads to see the growth of Daheng over the years. With successive victories, the nomads began to surrender.
The words that the father said were fulfilled one by one, but the pace never slowed down. He once said to Gu Ran, "I still have a lot of things I want to do, but I can't finish them. These things need to be handed over to you, but I hope you don't disappoint my father."
Gu Ran bowed and said solemnly, "My son knows."
Father Huang once said that Fusang should pay the price.
Let Fusang say what Daheng said, thinking that he is a Daheng person, and let Mr. Wang regret it and become a sinner spurned by their Fusang people.
Gu Ran remembered this, if the royal father did not do it, then he would continue to do it.
*
After Gu Ran got married and had children, Gu Yuanbai began to think about abdication.
Being the emperor for a long time is not good for anyone. Gu Yuanbai's body is not good, and he needs to take good care of him when he is old. Gu Ran already has a reputation, and he is a good successor.
But the decision to abdicate was not so good.
After standing at the pinnacle of power for several decades, Gu Yuanbai felt a little reluctant and melancholy when he suddenly gave up his position to a young man.
But he's been in power long enough to let it go.
Gu Yuanbai began to prepare, he believed in himself, but he did not believe in Gu Ran decisively. Before he abdicates, he needs to bring down the imperial power and elevate the power of the civil service group and military attachés to balance it with the imperial power. If the emperor in the future is not a good emperor, the excessive concentration of imperial power will only cause disaster to Daheng.
The Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Supervision Office also need to be rectified, and the balance has been integrated into Gu Yuanbai's bones and blood, as natural as breathing and eating.
He needs to think too much, and it is too important for a country to change its owner. By the time everything is settled, two years have passed.
Gu Yuanbai is not young anymore.
But he is like a mellow wine, still moving and gentle. Being in a high position for a long time makes his every move with indescribable dignity and majesty.
The atmosphere of such gestures has not faded away due to the passage of time.
On this day, when Gu Ran and Xue Yuan came out together, they saw that the study was closed, and Tian Fusheng was waiting outside the study with a strange expression.
Xue Yuan stepped forward and heard the sage in the study say coldly, "Get out of here!"
Tian Fusheng whispered: "It's the new champion."
Xue Yuan raised his finger at him quietly, Tian Fusheng was silent.
Tian Fusheng was old and could not hear the contents of the study, but Xue Yuan could still hear it clearly.
Xue Yuan turned his ears to the side, and his temples were stained with a bit of white frost. His long sullen face was no longer able to make waves, but after a while, he suddenly sighed.
He stepped forward and pushed the door of the study. Light passed through the crack of the door, and scattered dust floated up and down in the light.
Zhuangyuan Lang, who was under the pretext of reporting a secret, was anxiously expressing his heart to the Holy Master. The strong love made him even forget his life and death, and it was not until the sound of the door behind him that he was brought back to reality.
Xue Yuan entered the study through the crack of the door, and gently closed the door again.
Gu Yuanbai sat behind the table, his face full of anger. Xue Yuan's eyes swept over him carefully, making sure that he was all right, and then moved to Zhuangyuan Lang.
Zhuang Yuan Lang stared at him with red eyes, mixed with jealousy and anger, and said fiercely: "Rebel minister!"
If the sages can look at Xue Yuan, why can't they look at him
The champion is young and handsome, and he admits that he does not lose to Xue Yuan except for the size of his official position. After the abdication of the sage, I will travel with the privy envoy to the mountains and rivers. This time with the sage may be the last chance in my life to see the sage. I can't bear the love anymore. I would rather die than want to have a look at the sage. he.
Xue Yuan was scolded as a "rebel minister". Before he could say anything, the tea bowl by Sheng Shang's hand was thrown out and smashed heavily on the top of Zhuang Yuan Lang, "Get off!"
Zhuang Yuan Lang's expression was painful and hideous, and he looked at Xue Yuan with hatred.
Xue Yuan has rarely done it himself.
In the officialdom, he has cultivated an expression that never changes his face, laughing when he should laugh. He looks very personable and a gentleman who is easy to talk. But the ruthlessness in his bones never left him, and he would still be furious, and would use cruel means to express the evil in his heart.
In front of the saint, Xue Yuan didn't move the champion, he smiled and watched him being taken away by the palace attendant. After waiting for the next duty, he returned to the mansion, sat in the study and sent someone to invite the champion.
When the champion came, Xue Yuan took a sip of tea, raised his eyelids and pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit."
In the darkness, the hoarfrost on his temples was covered. Only the tall figure remains, as majestic as a mountain.
After Zhuangyuan Lang sat down, Xue Yuan smiled, got up and walked behind Zhuangyuan Lang, slamming his head against the corner of the table.
One after another, Zhuangyuan Lang's screams were ignored, blood collapsed on the table, and flowed from the sharp corner to the ground.
After a long time, Xue Yuan sighed and said to himself, "You should be happy, you didn't meet me a few years ago."
On that day, Zhuang Yuanlang was carried into the carriage, covered in blood, and sent back to the mansion by the back door.
Xue Yuan has long been aware of flaws in his work, but this time he deliberately missed some clues to warn those who want to beat him.
From the beginning to the end, no one could cross Xue Yuan and walk to Sheng Shang.
Gu Yuanbai laughed after hearing the news. He embraced Xue Yuan at night and made fun of him, "How old you are, he still looks like a bucket of vinegar."
Xue Yuan gently placed a kiss on the top of his head, and the years hugged him quietly, "I have already given birth to white hair."
Even if Gu Yuanbai is loved by time, he inevitably has a few silver threads that pass through the moonlight.
Xue Yuan tugged at him a silver thread and intertwined it with his own, "It's already accompanied by this, how can anyone else insert it?"
Gu Yuanbai rolled his eyes and laughed noncommittally.
He thought longingly in his heart.
A lifetime has passed in Daheng, which is very good.
The author has something to say: the ancient chapter is over! Then it's modern
