Chang Geng claimed to the outside world that in order to avoid suspicion, even if he occasionally stayed overnight in the palace, he would never set foot in the harem. All matters in the harem were still under the control of the queen. Fortunately, Li Feng's harem was not very busy, and the queen was barely able to handle the sick seedlings. It is unheard of for an emperor to come to the palace all day to order, and to hang a seal and leave the emperor. At the beginning, some people came out to say such and such unreasonable laws, and they were all scolded back. "Nowadays, he is conscientious in his work and does not violate the rules at all, why is there always a flatterer who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic and try to sway him to steal the country
The Censor Desk, headed by Xu Ling, became the royal watering can, pinning the "shattering the old and establishing the new" on the forehead. Every day, he was specially responsible for finding various theoretical basis for the various decrees of the court, so as to make the quarrel more justifiable.
The emperor who did not live in the palace would sometimes pretend to return to the Yanwang Mansion, and then treat the Yanwang Mansion as a "living room" where he occasionally met courtiers in private, and turned around and went to the Hou's Mansion - there was no two-step way anyway.
This year's rain fell a lot earlier than in previous years, and on the eve of Qingming, there was a continuous light rain
Although Gu Yun, who has been away from home for many years, has not removed his armor, he has finally been able to live in the capital safely. The Marquis of Anding's mansion, where a ghost story is about to spread, has been tossing in and out for several days, and finally it looks like someone is living.
When repairing the garden and tidying up the house, I found a lot of old things, so every day, picking up the old things behind Huo Commander became a new hobby for the undisturbed emperor to walk in the evening.
"Is this the old thing of the eldest princess?" Chang Geng asked, pointing to a square box - it was disrespectful, he did not rashly act.
The rough old woman who was cleaning the house glanced at it and said with a smile, "Isn't it true, it's specially made for the little Marquis."
As she said that, she opened the box and saw that there was actually a "feather duster" in the treasure box that looked like a bead box.
Chang Geng: ""
The old woman said: "Little Marquis was very troublesome when he was a child, and when he reprimanded him, he didn't forget to take it seriously, Guan Siguo would pick the lock and get out of the room himself, and he knew that he would go to the kitchen to steal food, and he didn't care about it. Uh, the old man is so violent again, and he has to go to the family law every time he goes, the emperor knows about those guys in the family law, and the old man is black, how can a child resist it? The princess is afraid that something will happen, there is one On the way back to the army, I saw a village woman carrying a broom to train her son, so she came up with such a trick to deal with him."
Chang Geng "please" out the feather duster that had beaten Gu Dashuai with both hands, only to see that the inner support is a thin pole, too much force will break, and it won't kill anyone, and there is a thick circle on the outside. "Chicken feathers" are not real pheasant feathers either, they are made of thin bamboo filaments and the hard wool of an unknown animal.
He grew up in the Hou's Mansion, and he is more like the master than the real master. Although the old servant girl changed her name to "The Emperor", she didn't show any signs of it, and said cheerfully: "Our family's Hou Ye was really out of the circle when he was a child. Fang Jiewa, who does all kinds of evil, is afraid of this later, no matter what he does, as long as he mentions it, he will be able to be honest for a while."
In front of Chang Geng, Gu Yun has always looked like an elder with ease and ease. For Chang Geng, his childhood and boyhood were all blank, so he listened with great interest.
"It's fun when the princess mainly beats him. She runs around the yard, crying while running, and howling like a real thing."
Chang Geng asked curiously, "The real thing? Could it be a fake?"
"Of course it's a pretense," the old maid sighed as she walked, "When our little Marquis was young, he didn't write a few real papers, don't expect him to shed real tears, you can see him crying all over the yard, and it doesn't rain after thunderstorms. The words in it are a set of words, and at every turn, there is a pitiful sentence, "Mother, don't you like me? Don't you want me? Am I not the flesh that fell from your body?" Otherwise, "Mother wants to change." Is there a better brother than me? I have changed, please don’t change my brother, I’m just a mother, if I don’t love me, I’ll be a wild child no one wants. I can't bear to take care of him."
When Chang Geng thought about that scene, he couldn't breathe with laughter. Gu Yun was worthy of being a master of the art of war. Since he was a child, he knew that "facts and reality are in harmony" and "attack the heart first".
A smile flashed across the wrinkles at the corner of the old servant's eyes, and then her voice suddenly changed: "I went to the frontier later, and everything changed when I came back."
The smile on Chang Geng's face faded away.
The old woman recalled to herself: "Every day I lock myself in the room, ignore people, don't cry, bring food in, how to put it in, how to push it out, no one to coax, and no one to step outside the door. He was a little monkey. After he came back, he became a little devil, and his whole person changed. It took two or three months before the old man settled down in the north and returned to the house. Well, he might as well not come back. If you want me to say, The grandfather is really cruel to his own son, probably because of such a mess, I'm afraid that he will really be such a waste."
Chang Geng asked softly, "What?"
+
"The old man kicked the door of his room and pulled him out of the room. You think, his eyes were so badly injured, how could it not hurt when he saw the sky? He staggered and followed. Tears were shed, but this time it was real tears, but she didn't say a word." The old servant woman pointed out, "It's that small pond, the old marquis made a circle with the horse whip, wrapped it around the marquis' neck, and pressed his head. Force him to look into the water and yell at his ear 'Look at what you are now, do you deserve the surname Gu'."
Chang Geng followed her fingers, and saw that the pond that had been in the desert for many years had already dried up. It was only two days ago that it was refilled with water, and a few new fish were raised, and they were waving their tails leisurely.
"Little Marquis got his throat stuck on the whip, shouted back and said 'I can't see'."
Following her words, Chang Geng seemed to have returned to several years ago, and the hand holding the "feather duster" twitched slightly.
"The old marquis pressed his head into the water and said, 'I can't see you lying in the water and look good, otherwise you will get up by yourself, or you will find a roof beam and hang yourself, and the Gu family would rather die than leave waste. !'" The old maid said here, shaking her head, "After so many years, this old lady of mine can't remember a word, it's really cruel."
There was no sound between the two for a while, and after an unknown amount of time, Chang Geng asked softly, "Old Marquis is willing?"
"Parents are naturally distressed, but what else can they do? The old marquis said that if the bone is broken, it can only be wedged with steel nails. Rely on, otherwise he will rely on it himself and never get up for the rest of his life." The old servant woman said, "If the old man is unwilling, who could justifiably take action to clean up the scattered black iron camp ten years ago?"
Without the Black Iron Camp, Daliang might have been eaten up and swallowed by people step by step during the first rebellion of the Western Regions. I am afraid that it would not be possible for a Westerner to travel all the way to take a bite. How long will these old princes, who are in the middle of the splendid beauty, still be prosperous and rich
"During the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, family members were not allowed to wear a cotton-padded coat for him to keep out the cold. The child was so cold that his hands and feet were blue, and he couldn't hold the bowl when he returned to the house. More than a dozen iron puppets circled around him all day long. Marquis watched from the side, as if even if he died, he would never blink for two or three years. The couple went one after another, and the Emperor Yuan and the emperor brought the young Marquis into the palace." The old servant's voice said After a while, they heard a sharp bird chirping from the corner. As soon as the two looked up, they saw Gu Yun strolling over with a bird cage. The unlucky bird surnamed Shen was viciously shaken by him. Su, so angry that she couldn't speak, she had to scream at the top of her throat.
Ever since Gu Yun took a shot and had time to repair the bird, he has never been at a disadvantage in this human-bird struggle. At this time, he came out for a walk with the victory. What Chang Geng was holding in his hand, he first narrowed his eyes, and then his face suddenly darkened.
Gu Yun walked over quickly and grabbed the "chicken feather duster": "I also turned out any broken things to play with, I didn't slip!"
Even if the injuries that have been with him for many years are cured, it is easy to have sequelae. For example, Gu Yun is unlikely to be able to hear and see clearly all his life. For example, although Chang Geng is free from nightmares, he still has many dreams at night after a little fatigue and thought.
That night, I wonder if he was still thinking about the "feather duster" that was snatched away by Gu Yun. Chang Geng had a very strange dream. He dreamed that he walked into the Hou's Mansion, but it was not the Marquis' Mansion of Anding that he was familiar with. , at least not as sluggish as he had imagined, with people coming and going, it seemed more popular.
In the distance, Chang Geng heard a sound of golden iron. He followed the sound and saw a group of murderous iron puppets besieging a little boy in the open space in the backyard. The little boy's eyes were covered with a layer of black cloth, covering half of his face, and dodging from side to side with difficulty.
Suddenly, an iron puppet approached him from behind, and the long knife in his hand had been replaced by an iron rod, and swept towards him, as if he felt the bad news of the visitor, the little boy subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
Hold on, you can't hide like that!
Chang Geng's heart instantly floated what someone told him many years ago: "If you are in a panic, your feet will float. If your feet are unstable, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, it is the water without source, and it is human nature to shrink back. But it will be difficult for you to gather the power to counterattack in a short period of time, and instead you will fall into the opponent's hands in a hurry."
Of course, the boy's speed could not be faster than the iron golem. After hesitating for a moment, he was quickly overtaken by the iron golem. With a loud noise, the monster's iron rod slammed into the young back, and his clothes cracked on the spot. , revealing the heart armor inside, and the person has already flown out.
Chang Geng hurried forward, picked up the dusty little boy, and at the same time pulled out the sword around his waist with his backhand, and pinned down several iron puppets who were chasing after him.
He threw the saber down, and his hands trembled as he tried to untie the cloth on the boy's face, but he heard footsteps behind him. Chang Geng turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking slowly with his hands on his back. . The man was wearing casual clothes, with a handsome face, like a personable and learned man, but his eyes were sullen, and when he faced him, his eyes seemed to have thousands of swords and swords.
Chang Geng had never seen this person before. Even though the grown-up Gu Yun didn't look very much like him, he still recognized the person's identity as soon as they met - the facial features and faces were different, but there was something similar in the father and son. .
The man made up his mind and said to Chang Geng, "Even if you take him away from here, you won't be able to raise him well, and even if you take him up, he won't be able to withstand a little wind and rain."
Chang Geng carefully picked up the boy's thin body: "He can rely on me."
The old Marquis of Anding shook his head, and Chang Geng suddenly heard the roar of the burning golden box behind him. He quickly hugged the boy and dodged, only to see a group of iron puppets that he had pinned down in an orderly manner, all of them standing in place. Divided into two, but for a moment, it has become an iron-cast heavy armored army, staring at him, and there is a vague sound of clappers in the distance, and the iron puppets move collectively, swarming up.
Chang Geng had no choice but to pick up the little Gu Yun and sprint for the road, running wildly, and he wanted to yell at the old man who was watching indifferently - I can even clean up the old country that was shaky, can't I protect a Gu Yun
However, he couldn't make a sound in his dream. He stepped on the air while fleeing in a panic. Chang Geng's heart jumped heavily. He reached out and grabbed a hand. Before dawn, he was holding Gu Yun's hand tightly.
Gu Yun touched his head: "Why can't I wake up today? Is it uncomfortable?"
Chang Geng stared at him blankly for a moment: "I had a dream."
Gu Yun was startled.
"It's not a nightmare, it's not Ur bone." Chang Geng turned over, hugged one of his hands, and tucked both of his arms into his arms, rubbed his forehead on Gu Yun's elbow, and whispered. Said, "I dreamed that I stole you from the old man, and your father sent a battalion of iron puppets to hunt me down."
Gu Yun was stunned for a while, then he laughed heartlessly, his arm used a little strength to pull the bedridden emperor out of the quilt, and pulled out his arm: "Your majesty is not small, he has something in his hand. What about the 100,000 Yin Soldiers? Come on, you’ve got your prestige, get up, there’s a big court meeting today. Well, it’s also Qingming. Could it be that he ran out of paper money over there and came to remind him?”
Chang Geng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, using the light to look at him from head to toe, until Gu Yun put on his clothes, he reluctantly retracted his gaze: "Your father is short of paper money, why didn't he find me and not you?"
"It looks like you are being bullied." Gu Yun smiled, then his smile gradually changed a little bit, "I don't owe him anything, I guess he is embarrassed to come to see me."
On Qingming Day, Chang Geng deliberately set aside most of the day to accompany Gu Yun to sacrifice and sweep the tombs of his ancestors.
In front of Gu Yun's seat, he seemed to be chanting a closed mantra. He didn't say a word. He just burned the paper as if he was on a mission, and then stood aside indifferently.
He doesn't need to say what he has done over the years, the two should also know about it.
On the other hand, Chang Geng took the incense seriously and sacrificed the wine. In front of Gu Yun's face, he couldn't say aloud, so he meditated in his heart: "I will take good care of him in the future, don't worry, you two, don't wedge steel nails on him again. already."
"Let's go." Gu Yun gently pulled him.
Chang Geng came back and was about to go back with him, when he saw Gu Yun indifferently turning to the princess' spiritual position: "Take care of your concubine, let him stay down here honestly, and avoid the people who come to harass me."
Chang Geng: ""
Huo Dan, who was accompanying him, almost knelt down and kowtowed to death in front of the old marquis after hearing these rebellious words. Gu Yun snorted softly, turned his head and dragged Chang Geng away.
Not to mention, his words really worked well. After that, Chang Geng never dreamed of Old Marquis Gu and his army of iron puppets again.
