"Father...Daddy." Gu Hanzhao held up the rattle and backed up while coaxing Gu Mingchen to walk in his direction.

At the age of one year and eight months, he can already walk a few steps unsupported. I saw him stretching out a pair of lotus joint-like arms while walking, trying to snatch the red rattle from his father back.

Zhao Jianyu, who had just come out of the pharmacy, saw this scene, stepped forward with a bit of a headache, and snatched the wave drum from Gu Hanzhao, who was still teasing his son.The moment Gu Mingchen noticed Zhao Jianyu's appearance, he immediately shifted his target, walked a few steps quickly, and stuck to Zhao Jianyu's feet with a creaking sound.

Zhao Zheyu really had no resistance to this glutinous rice dumpling-like child, so he squatted down and gave him the rattle in his hand, and hung the newly prepared sachet on his body.What Gu Mingchen likes most is the smell of Zhao Zhanyu's body. The faint medicinal fragrance is elegant, and every time he smells it, he can make people calm down.

Seeing this, Gu Mingchen, also known as Xiaotuanzi, was even more reluctant to bear Zhao Jianyu, so Zhao Jianyu had no choice but to hold him in his arms.Gu Mingchen took the opportunity to bury the swollen bun's face in Zhao Jianyu's hair, with the look of his father bullying me.

This black-hearted dumpling, Gu Hanzhao silently slandered in his heart, but when Zhao Jianyu looked at it, he immediately put on an expression that I knew it was wrong and that I shouldn't care about the dumpling.

Zhao Zheyu had lost his temper after being tormented by the father and son, and sighed while hugging the dumpling.Tuanzi seemed to have sensed his weakness, and hurriedly revealed his bun-like face, his obsidian-like eyes were filled with tears, looking extremely crystal clear, gently tugging at Zhao Zhanyu's long locks of hair and whispering: "Daddy."

Although Tuanzi hadn't learned too many words and would call Daddy whenever he met, Zhao Jianyu still felt that his heart was about to melt, so he left Gu Hanzhao without hesitation and walked towards his pharmacy with Tuanzi in his arms.

Gu Hanzhao felt that he had fallen out of favor. Ever since this black-hearted dumpling was able to run and talk, Zhao Jianyu's heart had completely turned to the other party. It really was... retribution is not good, Gu Hanzhao smiled bitterly in his heart.

After Zhao Zheyu disappeared from sight, the hidden guard who was hiding in the dark appeared, handed a note to Gu Hanzhao, and then disappeared quickly.Gu Hanzhao slowly unfolded the note, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Gu Hanzhao folded the note, showing a smile, what should come is finally coming.

On the second day, there was an uproar in the court, and Beiyuan actually sent envoys to Nanze.The civil and military officials in the court were divided into two factions in an instant. They strongly supported Beiyuan's visit and declared that they wanted to promote Nanze's national prestige; The visit must be menacing and cannot be agreed.

Emperor Xuanwu had a headache from the quarrel, and he rubbed his brows to calm down the noisy crowd.

Emperor Xuanwu's character was weak but self-willed, he didn't know what to do for a while, but at this time the fifth prince stepped forward and said: "Father, my son thinks it's better to agree to Beiyuan's audience."

With one sentence from the fifth prince, Beiyuan was placed in the subordinate position of Nanze. Emperor Xuanwu's mood eased a little, and the self-willed part of his character gradually gained the upper hand.

Nanze and Beiyuan have been divided for hundreds of years, and the successive emperors of Nanze have taken the task of unifying Daze. Unfortunately, Nanze's national power is weak and there are no outstanding emperors.On the other hand, Beiyuan is thriving under the leadership of several wise monarchs.

Now that Nanze has won against Beiyuan, it is a feat for Emperor Xuanwu to boast about anyway.Thinking of this, it seems that his previous worries have become indifferent.

Emperor Xuanwu immediately announced: "This matter is according to what the emperor said."

After Emperor Xuanwu finished speaking, the expressions of the hundreds of officials in the court were extremely wonderful. When the fifth prince stepped forward, Uncle Zhao showed a little surprise, but quickly restrained his emotions. After Emperor Xuanwu made a final decision, he could no longer control it. He stared at the fifth prince with surprise in his heart, but finally held back.

Gu Hanzhao didn't know who advised the fifth prince about the envoy of Beiyuan, but he was indeed hit hard after the envoy of Beiyuan left in the previous life.

The dignified son of Yuanhou's Mansion was reduced to become a master who taught martial arts to the princes.Perhaps becoming a Tai Tuo is an excellent way out for Wen Chen, but for him, a military general, it is no different from this wing, being imprisoned.

After all the officials retired from the court, Gu Hanzhao ignored the Fifth Prince and Uncle Zhao, and did not send anyone to inquire. Instead, he waited for Beiyuan's envoys to enter the capital. Everything was performed according to the script of the previous life, but this time he did not Will be just a small supporting role again.

The day for Beiyuan's envoys to meet with them was quickly settled. Emperor Xuanwu was particular about ostentation, and in order to show Beiyuan the national power of Nanze, he spared no expense, even using his own private treasury.

Originally, Gu Hanzhao had been gradually marginalized in the past year, but Beiyuan's move pushed him to the forefront once again.The Zhenyuanhou Mansion was first established to intimidate Beiyuan, and now it seems inappropriate for the entire court to ignore Gu Hanzhao.

The officialdom has always been powerful, like the Zhenyuanhou Mansion and the Zhao family, it takes only a short time to fall from the peak, there are few people who give charcoal in the snow, and countless people who fall into trouble.On the contrary, once there is hope of rising again, those people will forget all the previous quarrels and try their best to please you.

Emperor Xuanwu is also hesitant now, regretting listening to what others said before and adjourning Gu Hanzhao's decree to be the Marquis of Zhenyuan.Now Beiyuan is at the door of the house, but Nanze has no Marquis Zhenyuan, so the effect of deterring Beiyuan may be greatly reduced.

I don't know if it was under the instruction of Emperor Xuanwu, the next day, some courtiers signed up, please make Gu Hanzhao the Marquis of Zhenyuan.The military generals have long been ready to move, but Gu Hanzhao analyzed the pros and cons with them and suppressed their anger. Now even the civil servants have begun to speak out. It is a certainty that Gu Hanzhao will become the Marquis of Zhenyuan. On the fold.

Gu Hanzhao didn't have many surprises either. Emperor Xuanwu always wanted revenge, and now he was forcing him to make himself the Marquis of Zhenyuan. I'm afraid he won't let it go in the future, but this is exactly what he wants.

On the day when the Beiyuan envoys came to Beijing, Gu Hanzhao was arranged in the front seat, so that the Beiyuan envoys could see at a glance. Gu Hanzhao scoffed at Emperor Xuanwu's behavior, but because he didn't have a good impression of Beiyuan. The reason why his father's death was also related to it, he played his role dutifully throughout the whole process, trying to deter the other party.

In addition to several civil and military ministers, the envoys who came to Beiyuan this time also sent a prince.The Beiyuan Emperor is old, and now the Crown Prince is in power. Although the Beiyuan Prince has some ability, he cannot compare with the old Beiyuan King. In addition, his brothers are not ordinary people. Domestic status is also precarious.

But Gu Hanzhao did not dare to underestimate him. Even though he is still a fledgling prince, after a few years the King of Beiyuan passed away, his brothers helped him ascend the throne of Beiyuan. Gained the power to fight Nanze.

After Emperor Xuanwu sat down, all the envoys from Xuanbei Ze entered.

The third prince who walked in the front was Beiyuan's third prince, who belonged to the prince's lineage and had outstanding martial arts skills.He led the Beize mission to step forward, neither humble nor overbearing. Beiyuan has its own etiquette, and he does not like the way of worshiping in Nanze. Although Emperor Xuanwu was dissatisfied, he still endured it for the sake of the tolerance of a big country.

Gu Hanzhao sneered in the dark, the third prince had a haughty look on his face, and there was no sign of defeat on his face. He was clearly here to demonstrate, but unfortunately, some people still couldn't see through it.

After the audience, some court ladies led the envoys to their positions, and the third prince followed the good example and was not restrained by the enemy's country at all.

Seeing that the distinguished guests had already sat down, Emperor Xuanwu announced the official start of the banquet. As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and the actors filed in one after another.Emperor Xuanwu loved beauty, so the actors he chose were naturally one of a kind in terms of appearance and figure, and the lead dancer was even more of a character.

Gu Hanzhao raised his wine glass to hide his scrutiny, and began to think about it in his heart. These three princes are indeed not ordinary characters.Like everyone else at the banquet, his eyes were fixed on the lead dancer, but every time he glanced, he observed the civil and military officials all over the court through the gap, his expression seemed intoxicated, but he was actually very sober.

The leading dancer covered her face with a tulle, revealing only a pair of watery and affectionate eyes. The sandalwood fan in her hand was slowly unfolded in her slender fingers, and the dance clothes moved with the wind, ethereal like a fairy, seemingly invisible The aroma filled the air.

Gu Hanzhao frowned when he smelled the fragrance, and suppressed the sudden rising irritability by sniffing the scent of medicine on his sleeve.Seeing the expressions of the other people being intoxicated, Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting at the top, had already ordered the attendants in a low voice, presumably there will be another empress in the harem tomorrow.

Empress Zhao's expression was also extremely ugly, but she had controlled the harem for many years, so she still had the ability to endure.He glanced at the young and beautiful actor calmly, and then at his already showing a bit of old hands, the jealousy in his eyes almost turned into reality.

The actor also tried her best, this is her chance to soar into the sky.

After the song was over, before the faint fragrance dissipated, the third prince stood up and offered a toast to Emperor Xuanwu, and said leisurely after the cup was exhausted: "The singing and dancing in Nanze is beautiful, but our Beiyuan's singing and dancing are not bad either. This time, the mission will bring the best dancer from Beiyuan to present to His Majesty."

But after a short time, the third prince had sensed Emperor Xuanwu's lust, and took advantage of the opportunity to attract the beauties who were about to sacrifice.The proud expression on his face immediately attracted Emperor Xuanwu's attention, and all the remaining dissatisfaction on his face had faded away.

Gu Hanzhao can see all the expressions of the people around him by sitting in his position. These people have expectations and sighs... Nanze is like an old man who is dying. It's time to cultivate new blood.

Different from Nanze's half-covered performance, Beiyuan's singing and dancing were much more enthusiastic. The quiet and distant melody was replaced by warm and magnificent tunes, and the melodious silver bells invaded the hall in an instant.

Beiyuan's dancer is very beautiful, completely different from Nanze's gentleness and beauty. Instead, she has a bit of beauty, and everyone's heart is fascinated by her every move.

Seeing Emperor Xuanwu's expression, the third prince knew that he had made the right move. When the dancer stepped back and saw him still showing a reluctant expression, he immediately stepped forward and said: "It seems that the dancer in Beiyuan is not as good as the one in Nanze. many."

Emperor Xuanwu knew that he was just being polite, so he responded with a smile, but he still couldn't help but think of the dancer just now, her white and tender skin could be broken by blowing bullets, which made his heart itch unbearably.

The third prince had already sneered at Emperor Xuanwu in his heart, if the previous emperor hadn't left behind a few capable ministers and generals, who would have gotten Nanze to show off his might, seeing the timing was just right, the third prince said: "I have a merciless request."

Emperor Xuanwu's expression moved, and his original sloppiness was put away a bit. No matter how stupid he was, he would not be confused at this time, and suddenly he had a few more thoughts in his heart.

"These dancers are among the best in Beiyuan, but they were inferior in the dance just now. I implore Your Majesty to show grace and let these dancers learn dance skills in Nanze."

After the third prince finished speaking, Emperor Xuanwu was completely relieved, even a little distracted, the other party's implication could not be clearer, these dancers are the concubines that Beiyuan wants to dedicate to him!

Emperor Xuanwu thought of the soft skin and beautiful face that he had glimpsed just now, the vigilance on his face instantly faded away, only sincerity remained, and he laughed loudly: "Why is this so difficult!"

The third prince who got the promise no longer made false claims, but sat in his seat and enjoyed the sumptuous food and drink, but looked at the envoy beside him, who nodded secretly, stood up with a light cough, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, The singing and dancing has been finished, but there are more exciting performances than singing and dancing on Beiyuan's banquet."

"Oh? What is it?" Emperor Xuanwu, who had been taken away by the dancer, had already put down his guard, and looked extremely tired.

"No matter how beautiful the singing and dancing are, they are women after all." Without waiting for the envoy to answer, another Beiyuan general who accompanied them said rudely: "Men are going to compete in martial arts!"

Emperor Xuanwu frowned, dissatisfied with his rudeness.The envoy who had been robbed hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "General Qin's words are not rough..."

The envoy was interrupted again before he finished speaking, and the general Qin stood up and said unceremoniously: "Extremely! Exactly! I'm a reckless man who doesn't know the rules. Who would like to compare with me? ah."

General Qin's voice was loud, and the ministers felt a dull pain in their ears as soon as he finished speaking. Emperor Xuanwu, who had been attracted by the dancer at first, came back to his senses.

But now he is not right to agree or not to agree, or Uncle Zhao saw his embarrassment, and said sharply: "General Qin is too presumptuous, swords have no eyes, and all the officials in the hall will take it no matter who they hurt. I will pay for it with my life."

Uncle Zhao's intimidation did not stop him, but he retorted even louder: "Don't tell me no one in Nanze dares to fight me!"
