Shuiyou's "The Good Marriage Arrives" - a thrilling romance of a lazy pseudo-loli. The full text is finished today. Children, please go and watch!
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
The weather has eased a lot in April, but when the spring rain falls, it is still a bit chilly.
Gu Shiba Niang stood in Gu Shen'an's study, feeling as depressed as the sky outside. Four or five days had passed, but there was still no progress.
Gu Shen'an walked in without an umbrella, his homely robe was wet, and his face didn't look very good.
"The Eighteenth Mother is here." He nodded and sat down.
"Uncle." Gu Shiba Niang greeted.
The little girl poured tea and then left.
"I can't let you see Brother Hai." Gu Shen'an said bluntly.
Gu Shiba Niang felt as if her heart was filled with despair. This sentence meant more than just not being able to see her.
"This time Mr. Zhu is determined to shock everyone." Gu Shen'an breathed out. His face was not very good. Although he was not a clear anti-Zhu faction, he still retained some of his clear air. , although he said nothing, he kept a certain distance from Zhu Chunming and others unconsciously in his behavior. His current position as Minister was already very dissatisfying to Master Zhu. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was a fat man, and he was more willing to let him. His own subordinates are in charge.
General Ye died, Duke Shen retired due to illness, and Bachelor Li Shifang was sentenced to death. The forces in the DPRK and China that once fought in separate courts were now completely one-sided, and Lord Zhu's authority no longer needed to be questioned.
"It's not that I'm afraid of causing any trouble," he explained with a wry smile as he looked at Gu Shiba Niang.
After hearing this, Gu Shiba Niang quickly stood up and saluted him, "Ba Niang would never speculate on my uncle like this," she said with a wry smile, "If my uncle was someone who was afraid of trouble, he wouldn't have been alone until now. ."
He had gone to Lord Zhu's side a long time ago, instead of trying to survive through the cracks, it took him so many years to get the position of minister.
In this situation, retreat means advancement, and avoidance means resistance.
Gu Shen'an's expression was slightly agitated. For many years, in the eyes of his colleagues, he was just a villain who would only hide when things happened. He was just a mediocre person who didn't dare to say anything in front of important disputes. He didn't expect that even such a little girl could do it. It can be seen that his hiding is also an expression of dissatisfaction with those traitors.
Gu Shenan coughed and drank tea to hide his emotions.
"As soon as I heard that they were going to investigate the people related to Mr. Li this time, they all rejected it from top to bottom. In the past, I just took a deviant approach and let people in based on their names. But this time, who is it? I don't dare," he turned back to the topic and said with a serious face, "it's Mr. Xiao Zhu who has spoken. If anyone dares to cause trouble under his nose, let him live in it."
This meant that Gu Hai's matter could not be revealed so easily, and Gu Shiba Niang felt a chill in her heart.
"Baba Niang, do you blame Brother Hai?" Gu Shen'an asked suddenly.
Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't blame her brother for acting rashly and causing worries to her family. She didn't blame her brother for dying generously and leaving them alone.
"Eighteen Mother, don't blame him." Gu Shen'an sighed and said, "I, a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, should speak out for justice, not afraid of power, nor avoid disaster, not to mention Brother Hai is here for his mentor..."
He said with a wry smile, "What I said is a bit uncomfortable for standing up and talking. The Eighteenth Mother will definitely ask why I don't speak out for justice. Why don't so many officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty speak up for justice? This year, there are three hundred tributes. Why don't everyone go and ask for orders? How can the traitor be so powerful?"
He let out a long sigh as he spoke and looked at the plum blossom tea cup in front of him, "In today's world, ministers think too much about protecting themselves and it is not easy for them to stand in the court. Although they know that traitors do evil things, they are not thinking about being ministers. I am alone, even if I don’t stand out, others will always stand up. Or, I keep a low profile and look for opportunities to seek revenge. A gentleman’s revenge is not too late after ten years. This is an excuse to evade, while the younger generation of students are only for fame and think that they will study hard in their humble window. It’s not easy. Just expect to be granted the title of wife, shadow son, honor the clan, and honor the ancestors. Who is willing to stand up for irrelevant people and things? There are elders in high positions thinking about such important matters. This has caused everyone to be in danger, see through, and pretend Confused, this has caused the traitors to become more arrogant, the world's moral standards have declined, and morals have declined. In addition, since experiencing the golden disaster and the country's upheaval, the Holy Spirit's mentality has also changed. He only loves to follow the words of the king and does not like to speak directly to the ministers, and condones the traitors. The party has acted arbitrarily, so for more than ten years, there have been fewer and fewer people in the country who dare to stand up for justice."
"So, Shiba Niang, don't blame him. Watching something happen to the teacher, it's impossible for a student to just stand aside and say nothing. What's more, Brother Hai has a strong temperament. Why would Mr. Li be like this?" Everyone is well aware of the disaster... When he submitted the petition, he had already left me a letter. He knew that his trip was full of dangers, but a man did something and something he didn't do, so he asked himself to leave the clan. Please take good care of you and your daughter..." At this point, Gu Shen'an sighed again and said in a lower tone, "This matter is important. The traitor Li Shifang was sentenced to death, and his wife and children were exiled. As the leader of the family, he had no choice but to maintain his family's survival. He himself also knows that the decision to exterminate Hai Geer will definitely attract countless scoldings from the Qingliu scholars, and he will be known as a coward and a shameless person forever."
Gu Shen'an hasn't said so many words in a long time, and many of them have never been said in front of others. Most of them are drunk and drunk in the study.
After he finished speaking, he felt more relaxed than ever before. He looked at the little girl, not sure how much she could understand, but saw that the little girl had no expression on her face.
"Eighteen Mother, do you understand?" He had to ask.
"That is to say, my brother is dead." Gu Shiba Niang raised her head and asked.
Sure enough, she understood it clearly and clearly, and Gu Shen'an felt mixed emotions.
"I don't blame my brother," she said calmly. "Dad once said when he was still alive that there is great righteousness in the world. When we were young, he told me and my brother a story, saying that that day Zhang Zifang hit Qin Shihuang with his spine in the sand, not caring whether he hit or It means he missed the target because he dared to throw the stone..."
Gu Shen'an read this sentence silently, feeling a slight respect for Gu Leyun, who basically left no impression at all. That frail scholar with mediocre talents and poor fortune who died young was actually full of righteousness.
"Your father, Quanxia, would be proud of Brother Hai if he knew it." He sighed, "I'm not as good as him..."
"Brother is determined to act according to his heart, so naturally I will act resolutely according to my heart. He sacrificed his life to save his mentor and warn the world, so I will protect him with my life. We will do our best and have no resentment or hatred." Gu Shiba Niang said calmly. said.
After all, she and her brother are both the same kind of people. Once they decide on something, they never look back.
For Gu Shiba Niang, how to evaluate her brother's behavior was not within the scope of her thoughts. Ever since she learned about this incident, she only had one thought, which was to save her brother and compete with the power that wanted to take his brother's life.
The emperor with an unpredictable sacred heart and Master Zhu who killed the chickens to scare the monkeys were the most powerful force in the Zhou Dynasty. There were too few people who could compete with them. In front of them, people like Gu Shiba Niang were just like a fly on a tree. Completely unable to compete.
"No, there are still people, there are still people who can compete." Gu Shiba Niang murmured, "Prince Wen."
"Prince Wen?" Gu Shen'an was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. The news of Prince Wen greeting Gu Hai at the Hairpin Banquet had already spread throughout the capital. As a candidate for the throne, his every move must attract a lot of attention. Although On the surface, the princes and princes are strictly ordered to make friends with ministers, but for the ministers, this is impossible. Therefore, the four princes who came to Beijing this time have divided the ministers into four forces. Of course, there are many People take a wait-and-see attitude and dare not easily take sides, such as Gu Shen'an, who has always been wise and protective.
"It would be better if it was another county prince..." Gu Shen'an sighed, smiled bitterly, and looked at Gu Shiba Niang's face, which was quite unbearable.
Gu Shiba Niang immediately had a bad feeling and looked at Gu Shen'an.
"Master Zhu supports Prince Wen..." Although he was in his study, it was said that Master Zhu had countless secrets in his hands and secretly observed every move and word of countless ministers in the court. Gu Shenan carefully lowered his voice and said .
What? Gu Shiba Niang was really shocked. She couldn't help but sit down on the chair again with a thud.
In her previous life, she was just a stay-at-home woman. In this life, she only gained a pharmaceutical skill, dealt with more businessmen, and knew very little about the situation in the DPRK. It couldn't be simpler. Even these are based on many things in her previous life. Memories and sporadic words, for now, she has no idea about the intertwining forces of these disputes in the court.
She used to think that these things would never have anything to do with her.
But she understood that Gu Hai had offended Lord Zhu because he complained about his mentor, Lord Li. She understood that even a minister-level figure like Gu Shen'an could not save him. She understood that the only way to save Gu Hai was to find someone who could check and balance Lord Zhu. She understood that if he could not find someone else, As long as someone can save Gu Hai, Gu Hai will definitely die.
She felt a little lucky because they recognized Prince Wen, but she never expected that Master Zhu was actually a supporter of Prince Wen.
Even though she was a woman, she also knew what the fight between princes meant. It was not easy for her to ask for help from such a noble person, not to mention that it was one of his people that Gu Hai offended.
A teenager who has just passed the imperial examination and is waiting to be assigned as a Jinshi, and a senior minister who has been stomping his feet for more than ten years and making the court tremble. Which one is important to him, he doesn't even think about. No need to think.
This conclusion was soon confirmed again. That night Wang Yiyi came over and brought the results of Gu Shiba Niang's entrustment.
"Ms. Gu..." Wang Zhang looked apologetic and sighed, "I am incompetent and have failed to fulfill my trust."
"Did you not see it or did he not see it?" Gu Shiba Niang asked lightly. There was only one lamp lit in the room. This was only temporarily lit because Wang Yiyi came. The light was dim and outlined Gu Shiba Niang's eyes. A thin figure.
"The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. Prince Wen lives in seclusion. I am not qualified to see him in person, so I told his servant the reason. The Prince was at the mansion yesterday, and the servant took the opportunity to pass on the message, but..." Wang Yiyi said.
"Just what?" Gu Shiba Niang asked, her voice still calm and calm.
"I didn't say anything..." Wang Yiyi whispered, "I said the prince has rested. He will talk to me later..."
There was a silence in the room. One of them was an old man and the other was not an idiot. They both understood that this was clearly the disappearance of Prince Wen.
Missing… .
Missing… .
My brother will die, and no one will reach out to save his life...
Gu Shiba Niang clenched the armrests with both hands and looked at the dim room, feeling like her whole body was on fire.
As her abilities grew, so did the pressure from fate. From the first shopkeeper Zhou to the clansmen in the middle, they were all repelled by her, Gu Shiba Niang, so this time a huge tower fell from the sky. The mountain where the power of the Zhou Dynasty peaked.
Destiny seems to be tired of playing this game and is ready to break it with one blow and let ashes return to dust.
Wang Yiyi whispered something again, but Gu Shiba Niang didn't hear it clearly, it seemed to be a word of comfort to her.
That's it, is there no other way? Do you still want to watch your brother die
Benefits, everyone is for profit. Mr. Zhu killed General Ye Zhen for the sake of profit. Mr. Li wanted to kill Mr. Zhu for the sake of profit. Mr. Zhu naturally wanted to kill those who hindered his own interests. Even the patriarch Gu Changchun For the benefit of the whole clan, Gu Hai had to be exterminated...
Benefits... only benefits are beneficial...
At this moment, Wang Yiyi's words suddenly floated past her ears, and Gu Shiba Niang sharply focused her gaze on him.
"What did you just say?" she asked.
Wang Yiyi was stunned for a moment. It turned out that this young lady was not listening to him at all, but it was understandable that if this matter were left to him, his mental state might not be as good as hers.
"...I think the prince may not have listened to what the chamberlain said..." He lowered his voice as he spoke, "The prince has been in poor health recently..."
Gu Shiba Niang felt a bright light flash before her eyes, and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and grabbed it.
"Great" she murmured.
Wang Yiyi was startled and almost reached out to cover the little girl's mouth. "My aunt, no matter how much you hate others for not helping, you can't take pleasure in others' misfortunes. This person is a county king! He may be the future." The emperor! Darling, a brother has already entered the family. Is it possible that you don’t want to live anymore
The dim room seemed to suddenly light up. Wang Zhangyi looked over and saw Gu Shiba Niang's eyes sparkling under the candlelight.
"Mr. Wang..." She stood up suddenly and saluted Wang Zhangzhang.
"I don't dare, I feel guilty." Wang Zhang stood up quickly and gave him some support.
"I want to trouble Mr. Wang again..." Gu Shiba Niang said.
It seemed that Madam Gu was refreshed in an instant, and Wang Yiyi was very surprised.
"Mrs. Gu, please tell me." He replied hurriedly.
"I'll go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow..." Gu Shiba Niang said.
Wang Yiyi didn't hesitate at all or asked why, he immediately nodded and said hello.
Gu Shiba Niang looked a little moved. She suddenly took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Wang Zhang.
"Good girl, I can't help it." Wang Zhang reached out to support her, his voice choked with sobs.
That night, the lights in Gu Shiba Niang's house were unusual and stayed on all night.
