Kun Yuyang drank a full glass, raised his eyes and gave Kun Wushang a sideways glance, "Don't cause trouble, I just came back from Gu's house to see Ning An and Ning Ping, and Ning Chengzhi is at Gu's house!"
"so close!"
The man patted his chest, "Fortunately, the boss didn't go, otherwise we wouldn't have taken advantage of a big client like Mrs. Ning?"
Kun Wushang casually grabbed the account book on the counter and threw it at them, and the guys scattered like birds and beasts.
Only then did he look at Kun Yuyang, "Why did he go to Gu's house? Did Yufu treat him politely, and he really thought that he and them were old acquaintances?"
"I'm afraid it will be deeper than the friendship of old acquaintances."
Kun Yuyang shrugged indifferently, "After all, to Lord Gu, that was his master. For the sake of the late old Emperor Ning, he would not speak ill of Ning Chengzhi."
Kun Yuyang can understand this feeling best, after all, her gratitude to old Emperor Ning is no less than that of Gu's family. If it hadn't been for the old Ning Emperor's kindness to not pursue Emperor Kun's blindfolding of her marriage and allowing her to marry a royal child as usual, how could she have met such a good husband as Ning Xuan
Lun Yue stepped forward to refill her cup of tea, and Kun Yuyang drank another half cup before the heat from riding the horse dissipated, "Besides, I think Ning Chengzhi is different from before. The spoiled son of the imperial concubine did those foolish things after he ascended the throne. If he really wanted to say evil, he never did evil."
Kun Wushang thought about it and sat down beside her.
Forget it, forgive me that Ning Chengzhi doesn't have the guts to rebel, as long as he doesn't endanger Yufu and the Gu family.
…
Gu's mansion, Ning Chengzhi and his wife were welcomed into the mansion by Gu Jiuge and others, they seemed a little cautious.
After they had been in Beijing for a long time, they had everything they needed to eat and drink, and the fetus in Concubine Li Gui's womb was very stable, so they had no problem walking the long streets of the capital from beginning to end.
The two finally thought about it, and felt that they should go to Gu's mansion in person to pay a visit to Gu Huaijiang.
When being welcomed into the mansion by Gu Jiuge and others, Ning Chengzhi's eyes turned red as he walked, vaguely remembering that when he was still the second prince, the old Emperor Ning asked him to come to Gu's mansion often to learn riding and archery from Gu Shubai and the others.
The scene in front of him seemed to overlap with that time. In a trance, he remembered when he was young, and felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Jiuge said with a smile: "I saw Duke Ning's invitation, my father has been waiting in the main hall for a long time, please."
Whether it was Gu Shubai and Gu Hanmo he met in the palace, or the current members of the Gu family, they all treated him politely, as if they had forgotten the purpose of killing everyone.
Feeling guilty, he followed Gu Jiuge towards the inside, but couldn't help but grab Concubine Li's sleeve.
Concubine Li knew what was going on in his heart. At the beginning, this kind of thinking was worried that Yu Fu and the Gu family would take revenge on him, but now that he confirmed that they didn't have such intentions, the worry turned into guilt.
The most embarrassing thing in this world is that you give others arsenic, but others give you wine.
Entering the main hall, I saw Gu Huaijiang sitting in the head seat of the master, and there were several family members beside him, besides Gu Wenqing and Gu Xiang who had just returned from Taicheng, there was also a young beautiful woman.
Ning Chengzhi first stepped forward to greet Gu Huaijiang, "Master Gu."
Gu Huaijiang got up to support him, and then signaled Yin Jixie to help Concubine Li up, smiling kindly and said: "Although you are no longer a monarch and minister, why have you forgotten what you were called when you were a child?"
Ning Chengzhi was stunned for a while, and there were three words in his throat. After a while, he stammered: "Uncle Gu."
When the words fell to the ground, his eyes were red with tears.
When she was a child, Princess Danyang liked to pester Gu Shubai the most, and also loved to take him to Guhou's Mansion together. The old Emperor Ning treated Gu Huaijiang as brothers, and they always called Uncle Gu, Uncle Gu.
Uncle Gu hugged him and rode his horse, and his hands were wrapped around his horse's back. It was the safest horseback in the world, and he would never fall down.
Uncle Gu protected him from being beaten by the old Emperor Ning. When he was naughty in the study room when he was a child, he was sued by his master. Uncle Gu persuaded the old Emperor Ning, saying that even Gu Shubai had been naughty when he was a child.
He only found out later that, not to mention Gu Shubai, even Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo had never been naughty when they were young, and they had always been so smart and outstanding.
He didn't know why he thought of this now. How could he forget all of this when he ordered the whole family of the Gu family to be executed
"Uncle Gu!"
Ning Chengzhi choked with sobs, shouted again, and fell to his knees with a plop.
Concubine Li was startled by him, and when she was about to kneel down with him, Yin Ji hurriedly supported her, "You are pregnant, you can't do this."
Gu Huaijiang personally supported Ning Chengzhi, "Why do you need to do such a big gift?"
Ning Chengzhi shook his head desperately and refused to let him help him, "Uncle Gu, Chengzhi made a big mistake back then, and almost endangered the lives of the Gu family. If Yu... His Majesty hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid there is no way to recover from the big mistake!"
Gu Huaijiang knew it was because of this time, and hurriedly said: "Times have changed, so there is no need to mention it again. What happened back then is not all your fault, you are still young, and you have to be provoked by others for a while."
Ning Chengzhi still shook his head, "I was deceived by the lard, and I forgot that Uncle Gu made great contributions to Dongling Jiangshan, and he was injured in the Southern and Northern Wars. Damn me, I am confused! Before the collapse, I trusted Uncle Gu more and more because he finally discerned loyalty and traitors. It's a pity that I am not as wise as my father, and I want to kill loyal ministers... "
He bowed his head and bowed down, tears streaming down his face.
Gu Jiuge looked at Gu Huaijiang, the person who had been smiling since Ning Chengzhi came in, finally couldn't help showing a trace of sadness when he heard this.
He served Dong Ling all his life, but in the end he left Dong Ling with the name of treason. Now that Ning Chengzhi personally confessed, how could he remain calm
Gu Huaijiang secretly took a deep breath, calmed down quickly, and leaned over to support Ning Chengzhi, "Uncle Gu understands what you mean, I don't blame you, and you don't have to worry about it in the future."
His stigma has been washed away, and Ning Chengzhi's conscience can be at ease ever since.
At this moment, the two unexpectedly smiled at the same time, it was the first time they had such a tacit understanding in decades of acquaintance.
Everyone sat down to drink tea and talk again. Ning Chengzhi wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and suddenly saw the familiar face of the woman in the seat, "You... aren't you the lady of the Yin family?"
He was looking at Yin Jizheng, who was standing beside Gu Huaijiang and supporting Concubine Li just now. Ning Chengzhi always felt that she looked familiar, and only now did he realize who she was.
Yin Jiqian smiled at him tenderly, Gu Jiuge said with a smile: "Yes, she is the daughter of old Prime Minister Yin, and now she is my wife."
Ning Chengzhi was shocked.
The Yin family and the Gu family are deadly rivals, who would have thought that these two families would secretly get married
Concubine Li was also very surprised. Ning Chengzhi had scolded Yin Shuo many times in front of her. Occupy the country.
Unexpectedly, his younger sister was such a gentle person, and she married the second son of the Gu family.
Yin Jixie explained: "My husband and I have known each other for a long time. When my father was critically ill and my eldest brother was convicted, my father betrothed me to the Gu family before he died. So when the Gu family left Dongling with Yufu, I also treated him as his fiancée identity and left together.”
Gu Jiuge said: "Actually, Ji Wei has been secretly helping us with what Yin Shuo did back then. For this reason, she has been trained by Yin Shuo a lot. They are brothers and sisters with completely different temperaments."
He was rectifying Yin Jiyu's name so that others would not associate her with the heinous Yin Shuo.
After hearing this, Ning Chengzhi suddenly realized.
Just as he was talking, a child's figure suddenly appeared outside the door, walking unsteadily towards the hall.
As soon as they saw him, everyone's faces were filled with joy. He giggled and ran towards Yin Jiyu, who hugged him in her arms.
She explained softly: "This is our child, Yufu named him Yuanzhang. Yuanzhang, hurry up and meet Ning Gong and Ning Madam."
The little Yuanzhang had long been used to the scene of a cloud of distinguished guests in the mansion. Hearing this, he turned his head calmly, took two steps forward, and clasped his two small hands like lotus root joints together in a dignified bow.
"I've met Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning."
This well-behaved and cute little appearance suddenly flooded Concubine Li with maternal love, she was overjoyed, and carefully took Yuan Zhang's hand and hugged him into her arms.
"What a handsome child, I don't know how many girls I will fascinate in the future, I really like it!"
She quickly searched all over her body, and finally found a jade pendant in her waist purse, "The first time we meet, we should give the child a gift. We didn't find out when we went out. I didn't know that you even had children. This jade pendant is Husband said that if you want to give the child in my womb in the future, give it to Yuanzhang."
Gu Huaijiang looked at her hand, "This is a jade pendant given to the prince and princess by the Ning family. It is of great significance. How can I give it to Yuan Zhang?"
Concubine Li hurriedly acted like a baby to Ning Chengzhi, "Husband, I really like Yuanzhang so much, can I give this to him, okay?"
Ning Chengzhi was a little embarrassed, so he quickly responded and said to Gu Huaijiang, "Uncle Gu, there is no Ning family anymore, and there is only one royal family in the Kyushu mainland, so the meaning of this jade pendant does not exist. We really like Yuanzhang Don't be shy, kid."
Gu Huaijiang looked at Concubine Li's eyes at Yuanzhang, just like her own child, and could only helplessly acquiesce.
"Come on."
Concubine Li looked at Yuanzhang expectantly, but Yuanzhang didn't pick it up, and turned her head back to look at Yin Jigui.
The jade pendant is very beautiful, and he likes it very much, but his parents only pick him up if they can, otherwise he doesn't want it.
Yin Jixie took a look at Gu Jiuge, then smiled and reminded Yuanzhang, "Thank you Madam Ning soon."
Yuanzhang bowed again, "Thank you Mrs. Ning, thank you Mrs. Ning."
Little children are so polite!
Concubine Li liked it more and more, she wished she could hold Yuanzhang and leave instead of returning it to the Gu family.
When Gu Yi heard the news coming from the backyard, he came in and hurriedly cupped his hands to plead guilty: "The honored guest has arrived, and it's too late to welcome him. It's really Jiaojiao who made a lot of noise, so she came late."
Gu Huaijiang asked, "What happened to Jiaojiao?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that I like to cry when I wake up in the morning. The doctor said what it's called, what's it like to wake up. He also said that the baby's crying is very loud, which is a sign of health."
"It's good to be healthy."
Hearing their conversation, Ning Chengzhi understood something, "Gu Yi, even you are married and have children, and you have given birth to a daughter, congratulations."
Gu Yi was a little embarrassed, covered her mouth and coughed dryly, "Jiaojiao is not a daughter, but a... brat."
…
"Kyushu is unified, and the world is home to one's heart. In order to choose the first day, I will tell the great god Yuer: Only you have Zen, and you will enjoy Yongji, and the hope of the people will be enjoyed by the world. The name of the restoration of the country is Zhou, and the name of the year is changed to Xinyuan. .”
In order to better attract talents for this year's autumn, the imperial court hastened to promulgate a decree. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs urgently prepared an application, and chose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple, announcing the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The reason why Beili’s national name was not unified was that it would cause dissatisfaction among the original people of Xikun and Dongling, and secondly, the Ji family in Beili was originally the descendant of the Xuanyuan family of the Great Zhou. OK.
In the future history books, it is nothing more than the previous week and the next week. Yu Fu is not afraid that the later Zhou will be compared with the previous Zhou by later generations. She is confident enough to make the Kyushu Continent more prosperous and prosperous in the next few decades.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was scheduled for the Shangsi Festival on the third day of March. Qin Tianjian said that it was a good day for everything, and the only thing that made people worry was Yufu's stomach.
"It's been more than nine months. I don't know when the child will come out. According to me, can't the ceremony of changing the country name be later?"
Yuehu is a medical fairy and Yufu's elder sister. She only has eyes for the safety of Yufu and the child in her womb, and she doesn't care about government affairs.
After listening to her complaining many times, Yu Fu stopped explaining and just looked down at the documents related to the ceremony.
It was Gu Shubai who explained from the side: "A lot of thought has been spent on the imperial examinations this time, encouraging ladies to go to Beijing to take the exams. In order to let scholars from all over the country take the exams with confidence, a new country name will be established as soon as possible to confirm the unification. It is very necessary."
Yuehu twitched her lips, Yufu raised her head and said with a smile: "Elder Sister, it's okay. I know my own body, as long as the child is not born at the ceremony."
Yuehu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Born on a grand ceremony? How could it be such a coincidence. Hey, if this child is really born on a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, wouldn't it be the destiny?"
Just like Yufu back then, he was predicted by Xunchi while still in his mother's womb that he would be the king who would unify Kyushu in the future.
Now that this prophecy has really come true, thinking about it is really frightening, I don't know how Xun Chi foresaw what will happen more than ten years later.
Yu Fu tilted his head and thought for a while, "This kind of thing can't be superstitious, I think it's better to wait until the children grow up to see their qualifications, and then decide who will inherit it. Big brother, don't you think so?"
Gu Shubai looked like my little wife was right in everything she said, Yuehu felt a chill, and stopped talking.
In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of March. To show its solemnity, the altar for offering sacrifices to heaven was set up in the square outside the Golden Temple in the early dynasty. This is also the place where Yufu and Yufu got married.
The tall altar is decorated with bright yellow and bright red colors, and the prayer flags on both sides are flying in the spring breeze. Yufu and Gu Shubai walked towards the altar in complicated dresses.
They walked very busy and very steadily, Gu Shubai's thoughts were all on Yufu, lest she accidentally miss the space.
Yufu herself is also careful, not only she bears the burden of her own life, but also the life of the child in her womb, she must not make a wrong step in every step.
On the altar, the tablets of the gods of heaven and earth are tall and solemn, and the three-legged bronze tripod stands solemnly.
"The emperor would like to send Zhongshu Guan Gougan, and dare to tell Huangdi Xuanyuan: I should lose control of the Yuan, and the world will be divided. The emperor of Hetian and the family of the earth will humiliate the outside world, so as to have the world and dominate the common people. The king was born in ancient times, Continuing the heavens and setting up poles, to be a democracy; the divine merits and holiness, and uphold the law to this day. I prosper the worship of all gods... "
At the end of the reading, there was an almost inaudible tremor in her voice.
Gu Shubai frowned and looked at her, Yufu gave him a reassuring look, and nodded slightly to signal him to complete the ceremony.
He held incense and recited: "The gift is not over yet, Fok bows, sends civil servants respectfully, presents sacrifices and silks, and only informs the court, but the emperor's style. There are ancient and modern, and folk customs are also different. Only the Holy God is worshiped forever. The method. The Holy Spirit is not ignorant, and its lessons are accepted! Enjoy it.”
After the sacrificial rites were recited, the two stepped forward to insert the incense into the cauldron according to the etiquette system.
Yu Fu frowned, and there was a strange feeling under her body, which made her dare not take a step.
Gu Shubai looked at her worriedly, seeing Yufu standing still for a moment, he immediately raised his hand knowingly, Yufu put his hand on his arm, stepped forward with his strength, and inserted the incense stick in his hand squarely. Bronze tripod.
After completing this step, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to look down at the civil and military officials, "The ceremony is over, please enter the palace and wait a while, I will come when I give birth to a child."
Everyone was shocked and looked at her complicated dress, only to see that the corners of the skirt had been wet at some point...
