There are candlesticks on the wall of the secret room every ten steps. Gu Shubai takes out the fire folds from his sleeves and lights the candlesticks one by one.
The room was suddenly brighter, and under the shadow of the candlelight, he saw a huge spherical object standing in the middle of the secret room.
The sphere is transparent and glows white under the candlelight, making it mysterious and unpredictable.
It is inlaid on a copper curved support. Judging from the rust on the bronze, this mysterious spherical object has a long history.
Yufu pulled his hand forward so that he could see the sphere more clearly. Strange to say, it was a transparent ball, but Gu Shubai felt that he couldn't see the inside of it.
When you want to take a closer look, you will always be blinded by the light of the ball.
"This is the secret of Beili Royal Family?"
Yufu nodded slightly, "You can say yes, or you can say no."
Her hand touched the surface of the sphere, "You must be surprised, why have you never seen such a gemstone that is transparent and can't see the inside, right? Because this is not something from the Kyushu continent, it is something outside the sky. ."
Gu Shubai thought, "Things outside the sky? Could it be... a meteorite?"
"Yes."
Yufu smiled and said: "According to legend, hundreds of years ago, the mainland of Kyushu was still a unified country, that is, the Great Zhou. During the festival of glaring confusion, there were meteorites flying into Beili."
"The emperor ordered people to look for it, and it took three months for the envoy to bring this ball back. It is said that the envoy saw the meteorite falling in the desert cracked, and because the stone was too large to bring it back, he only brought it back. This mysterious gem embedded in the center of the meteorite."
"The Qintian Supervisor at the time said that this was called a crystal ball."
Gu Shu frowned slightly, "Since ancient times, fluorite falling outside the sky is an ominous sign. How did the Qin Tianjian define this crystal stone at that time?"
Yufu said, "Likewise, they think the meteorite is a bad omen. What's more, there is such a mysterious crystal stone, which indicates that the Great Zhou is about to fall apart. The general situation of the world must be combined for a long time and must be divided. For more than a hundred years, this crystal ball became the last straw. The emperor who was in power at that time decided to actively divide Kyushu into the Three Kingdoms."
Gu Shubai said: "I have some impression of this story. But what I heard is that Xuanyuan Yunqi has a deep love for brotherhood, so that he will actively divide the country and divide it between his two younger brothers. One is Xuanyuan Youli and the other is Xuanyuan Mufeng. They will become the monarchs of Dongling and Xikun respectively. After the regime changes, the two countries will change their hands and become the kingdoms of the Kun family and the Ning family."
Yufu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the Zhenguo princess who came from the Xuanyuan Yunqi twins?"
Gu Shubai was silent for a moment, how could he forget.
That was the most beautiful narrative in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The princess Xuanyuan Longwan of Zhen Kingdom was not inferior to the man, but in the end the emperor did not allocate the land to her to govern.
The reason is that there are few history books for future generations, and I don't remember this passage.
Yufu Road: "Actually, Princess Zhenguo is also allocated a quarter of the land of the mainland of Kyushu, which is half of Beili. But she did not accept it and would rather assist her brother to govern Beili. But Beili's land is far more western. Kun and Dong Ling are bigger, and their national strength and military strength are stronger."
Gu Shubai nodded, "So that's it. Princess Zhenguo is a person who knows the generality. If she hadn't made this decision, the war in the Kyushu Continent might have been more serious now."
Yufu said: "Indeed, she is very foresight. Because when the world was divided into three points, the mainland of Kyushu was not what it is now. At that time, the three countries were brothers, and the customs clearance was extremely harmonious, and there was no trace of war. ."
"On the contrary, under their respective governance, the three countries have become more prosperous, and the people's livelihoods have become more prosperous. At that time, people really thought that taking the initiative to separate regimes would resolve the bad omens brought about by meteorites."
Gu Shubai said: "At that time, the three of their brothers were close relatives, so naturally they would not attack each other. Instead, they would help each other to make the people of the three countries richer and richer. But the descendants are different, and the blood relationship is getting more and more. Indifferent, the appearance of an unknown prince in one of the countries will destroy the close relationship between the three countries."
Yufu stroked every part of the crystal ball before he retracted his hand and looked at him, "You are right. Three generations later, the Xikun Kun clan rebelled as a relative, and the Ning clan of Dongling followed. Bei. Li Yi could not suppress the rebellion between the two countries and could only watch the mountains and rivers change hands."
Gu Shubai couldn't help being curious, "What about Bei Li?"
Yufu's surname is Ji, not Xuanyuan, why does she speak from the standpoint of Da Zhou everywhere
"Bei Li has never changed ownership. I am a descendant of the Xuanyuan clan."
Yu Fuzheng said: "When Kyushu was just split, although the three countries were very harmonious and the people became more prosperous, the Xuanyuan Yunqi brothers and sisters foresaw the possible changes and wars in the future. So they left a legacy and ordered future generations to be appropriate. It’s an opportunity to reunify the three countries, but it cannot harm the innocent people."
"Until Xikun and Dongling changed hands, Bei Li's then monarch worried that Xuanyuan's surname would attract an attack. The so-called Muxiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, so the royal family changed to the Ji surname. Ji is the origin of Xuanyuan's surname. Huangdi is Ji’s surname Xuanyuan, so Ji’s surname is Xuanyuan’s surname."
Gu Shubai suddenly realized that the fragmented records of Da Zhou and Bei Li finally became a line.
He was surprised and said: "It turns out that Bei Li is the orthodox of Da Zhou, and you changed the country's surname in order to cover up this fact. Dongling and Xikun rebellious rebels saw Bei Li changed the country's surname and thought that Bei Li also changed hands. They can rest assured that the Xuanyuan surname ceases to exist. No wonder Dongling and Xikun now know very little about Bei Li, this is the result of your deliberate concealment!"
Yufu smiled, "In the beginning, it was indeed deliberately concealed, but it is no longer important. Bei Li is still the Bei Li of the Xuanyuan family, but Xikun and Dongling may soon not belong to the Kun family and Ning family. As the years change, even if the monarch now knows what happened at the beginning, he won’t care? Only Bei Li has always adhered to the legacy of his predecessors and is bound to unify the three kingdoms."
She is a descendant of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is the most plausible way of unifying the Three Kingdoms.
The light of the candlelight reflected on the crystal ball, refracted to Yufu's face, and the water-like silver spots were extremely dazzling.
Her eyes were bright, and the dazzling light spots showed a mysterious aura.
She didn't speak any more, so that Gu Shubai had some time to digest everything she had just heard, and she also gave herself some time to reminisce about the vicissitudes of this crystal ball.
Everyone of the Northern Li monarchs in the past has touched the crystal ball that brought ominous omen.
Her hand travels through time and space, does it overlap with her father's hand? Are they standing next to this mysterious crystal ball, are they sighing in the same place, and exploring the mystery of the crystal ball from the same angle
She didn't know, she could only comfort herself with imagination.
That night, the two of them spoke all night before the steps of the crystal ball, and they did not know when they fell asleep while cuddling each other...
In the morning of the next day, everything seemed to be on track.
Yufu didn't seem to be at a loss when she first ascended the throne. She seemed to be able to do well in the position of supreme. On the contrary, Tian Yunpo and the others were not used to it.
He was the youngest Taishi in the history of the Beilili dynasty, dressed in a purple python robe and a gilt crown, standing in the place where his father had stood before, unavoidably a little dazed.
Although Ouyang Qi is not a fan of fame and fortune, his position as a general is the greatest affirmation of his many years of expedition.
"... The most important thing is to promote the imperial examination. I have discussed this matter with Zhang Qing before ascending the throne. I am very satisfied with the preparations of the staff. To show that I attach great importance to the imperial examination, I am determined to issue the imperial decree to the world and elect the court. There is no threshold for a talented person, and both civil and martial arts are used."
Yufu emphatically mentioned the imperial examination. This was the imperial examination in her first year as she became the throne. It should be more solemn than usual.
However, she not only had to open essays, but also martial arts, which was not an easy task for courtiers.
"Your Majesty, there is no precedent in the imperial dynasty before the martial arts, how to use martial arts or heavy warfare, please indicate clearly."
The courtiers were really interested in martial arts. Yufu took a look at Zhang Jiuque. The latter said: "Your majesty's martial arts is to train generals in the army. Therefore, martial arts, cavalry and shooting, and strategy of warfare. Each item is important. The minister and his majesty have drafted a rough charter. In order to make the martial exercises properly carried out, he also asked his majesty to send generals to discuss with the ministers to improve the charter. And when the election in Beijing, a martial arts and art of war will be needed. The chief examiner is the one who knows everything."
Yufu looked down and asked Ouyang Qi as the first person among the generals.
But he...
Ouyang Qi really went out, "Your Majesty, this is the first time that the imperial martial arts examination has been conducted. The minister hopes that he can take on this great task. His Majesty Kechen is aware of his injury. In two days, Tianshu Medical Immortal will open his mouth for the minister. For treatment, the minister is about to report to his majesty for a false recuperation. Therefore, the minister recommends General Gu for the military exercise."
There are now four generals surnamed Gu in the dynasty, and Ouyang Qi is looking at Gu Shubai.
Now the North Korean government knows how much Ouyang Qi trusts and admires Gu Shubai. Not only does he hand over his generals to him temporarily, he also recommends Gu Shubai for such a big event as the martial arts exercise.
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Shubai, and Yufu also smiled at him.
Gu Shubai was not humbly, and went out and said: "Thank you, General Ouyang, for your trust. Your Majesty, the minister has the confidence to take on this post, and I would like to ask you to step down."
In addition to taking charge of the barracks for Ouyang Qi, this will be his first task after taking office in the Northern Li Dynasty.
Yu Fuyuan also prefers to let him take care of it. Now it’s better to have Ouyang Qi’s recommendation. She smiled and said, "Okay, you will take care of this matter."
Tian Yunpo looked up at her, Yufu looked at Gu Shubai with different eyes.
After the dynasty, all the officials dispersed outside the hall, and Zhang Jiuque walked and talked with Gu Shubai.
The two were not familiar with each other before. Gu Shubai had only heard Yufu say that Zhang Jiuque was a practical courtier, and Zhang Jiuque only knew that Gu Shubai was proficient in martial arts.
After not wanting to say the difference between the two, Zhang Jiuque found that Gu Shubai was not only proficient in martial arts, but also had a deep knowledge of government officials.
He couldn't help but arched his hands, "If General Gu is a civil servant, he must have high attainments. Unfortunately, what Bei Li lacks now is a general with a commander, otherwise I really want to ask your Majesty to transfer General Gu to a civil position!"
Gu Shu Baiqian smiled and said, "Master Zhang has shown his love. In fact, the generals who lead soldiers in war are not necessarily rough people. To make good use of military strategy, you still need to read more. As for the affairs of government and officials, I was only in Dongling. My father is fascinated by his ears and knows a little bit of fur."
The two were talking when they suddenly saw Tian Yunpo walking in their direction, seeming to be looking for Gu Shubai.
Zhang Jiuque bid farewell wittily, and Gu Shubai turned around to see Tian Yunpo, bowed his hand to him, "Tian Taishi."
When Yufu broke the title of Tianyun as Taishi, he was surprised. He thought that even if Yufu stayed with him, he would not have a high official position.
The post of the Supreme Master is equivalent to the prime minister, and it is a post with both real power and reputation.
Since Yufu has sealed him, it means trusting him, and Gu Shubai naturally "would sing with her husband."
Tian Yunpo bowed his hand towards him, "I have seen the general's martial arts chief, but according to the official, the general is still more beautiful than martial arts."
He pointed to Zhang Jiuque, who was far away, "Everyone has a heart for beauty. With this face and a three-inch tongue, the general will subdue the ministers one by one. The officials really admire him."
Gu Shubai didn't say a word.
He was praised for his appearance as a man, and he naturally knew that this was not a good thing. Tianyun said that he had no talents and appearance.
He was supposed to be angry, but he just sneered at him, "The fact that the Taishi has no official position can make the Manchu civil and martial arts willing to obey orders, is it also because of his beauty? As far as I can see, the beauty of the Taishi seems to be a little worse. "
Tian Yunpo satirizes that he obtained his position today by his appearance, but he satirizes that Tian Yunpo was not handsome enough, and the two refused to give each other tit-for-tat.
Ouyang Qi came out of the hall and was overjoyed when he saw that Gu Shubai hadn't left yet, and was about to come to him to talk, only to find that Tian Yun was standing in front of him with a frosty face.
The two people quarreled
Ouyang Qi hurriedly stepped forward, his tall body blocked the sight of the two of them.
"Master, this general has something to say to General Gu, so let's talk about your affairs another day!"
He couldn't help but brought Gu Shubai to the side, "What's the matter? Good point, how come you two look like black-eyed chickens?"
Gu Shubai said: "The Taishi is very hostile to me. Think about his previous posture to your Majesty. Maybe he wants to use this radical method to force me to advance. Lest I don’t think about making progress in the name of your majesty’s fiance. A vegetarian meal at the corpse position in North Korea."
Ouyang Qi nodded thoughtfully, "If it's just such a fall, don't take it to heart, I know you are not such a frivolous person."
He said, "I just met you, go to my new mansion and sit down! Today, all the generals in the army will come to congratulate my new mansion. I want to take this opportunity to invite your brothers too, everyone. Wouldn’t it be more familiar to sit in a happy place?"
He gave his military camp to Gu Shubai, and naturally hoped that he and his subordinates could get closer.
Gu Shubai was about to nod his head, and suddenly saw Yaolan leading someone to look for him, "The eldest son, the third son, the sixth son, and Miss Yunyan are here, your majesty asks you to come over!"
"Three brothers are they here?"
Gu Shubai was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Ouyang Qi: "General Ouyang, I'm really sorry. My brother and younger siblings came from the Immortal Valley. My third brother's arm was seriously injured in the Immortal Valley for treatment. I was anxious to see him. Hurt."
Ouyang Qi said generously: "You go, come here for a long time, and I will invite you and your brothers to the house for a drink in the next day!"
Gu Shubai bowed his hands and followed Yaolan back to the Hall of Longevity. Seeing that everyone was chatting and laughing around Gu Hanmo, it was very lively.
"Big Brother is back!"
I don't know who yelled, Gu Hanmo turned around and saw him, strode forward, and the two brothers hugged each other tightly.
Gu Shubai carefully checked his arm, "Are the injuries healed?"
Gu Hanmo raised his hand and gestured a few times, "It's fine, brother, don't worry."
Gu Shubai asked him whether Gu Huaijiang was in good health, and was relieved to learn that Gu Huaijiang and Lao Jin were very relaxed and happy in Xianren Valley.
Gu Yi and Su Yunyan circled Yufu twice, knowing that Yufu would return to Beili to inherit the position of the monarch, they were shocked when they saw Yufu dressed as a female monarch.
Gu Yi said it was a pity, "It would be nice if our feet were a little faster, and we would be able to catch up with Yufu's enthronement ceremony!"
Yufu smiled and said: "It's not too late to come today, just as I am planning to take you out of the palace today to have a look at the new mansion."
Gu Shubai and the others all lived in the East Palace. Now that they have been granted court posts, they are not suitable for continuing to live in the palace. Gu Hanmo and the others will just be able to live in the new mansion.
Gu Yi's eyes lit up, "Okay, I can't wait to visit the new mansion!"
