The old east wind comes to dream

The cold winter of Zhaoxi's six years was a bit long. After all, the old Supreme Emperor was not able to survive. Accompanied by the Queen Mother and his descendants, he finished his extraordinary life.

As he was dying, countless pictures flashed uncontrollably in Gu Zhen's mind.

He is too old and has come a long way.The emperor of the Chen Dynasty, he has experienced three? years. He was 33?Even though his father was very strict since he was a child, he was always the eldest son of the Zhongming Dingshi Family. Even though he had fought with the Rong people many times, his mood was still different when he raised the army.There was no way out for their family, they hugged each other tightly, fighting in blood and fire, and they didn't even have time to think about what to do after victory.

That year, he finally had his eldest son, and shortly thereafter, the army achieved its first big victory.Tai/zu was overjoyed, and personally named this grandson "Yuan".It is the source of victory and the source of all things, which shows that it is valued.

However, in the second year, Gu Ji, his closest younger brother since he was a child, died in battle in order to save him.And Gu Zhen himself was seriously injured, making it difficult to have any heirs.

I can't remember what it was like at that time.I only remember that time, the sadness and hatred that I could not forget for a long time, as well as the unspeakable embarrassment and fear.

Gu Zhen concealed his injury, but the emotions in his heart became more and more difficult to get rid of.In four years, Tai/Zu, surrounded by these brothers, finally led the powerful army of Dazhao to invade the palace of the Chen Dynasty and became the new generation of the lord of the world.As the eldest son, he became the crown prince under one person.

From then on, the Gu family, who were originally close, began to have rifts.Gradually, methods that were even more vicious than those used to deal with the enemy began to be used according to their own family members.

They have a father who is too wise and powerful. When they raised their troops, they were famous for their reputation. These brothers, they also personally plated many awesome myths for their father.Therefore, Tai/Zu became the god in the world, and became the god in the hearts of the people.

Over time, Tai/Zu himself believed in it.

The aging emperor began to feel that everyone was inferior to him, but those who were inferior to him were destined to replace him and become the future masters of this country.He was jealous and unwilling, watching coldly and mercilessly? These sons were showing off their tricks in front of him, obedient?

And no matter what, he is always in control of all this.

Gu Zhen's eyes were a little blurred, but when he thought of the past, tears slowly fell from his cloudy eyes.

He resented the appearance of Tai/Zu, and was dissatisfied with Tai/Zu treating him like this.But it was only at this time that he really woke up. Why didn't he walk on the old road of his father?

Inevitably, he finally became what he loathed.

A pair of old but soft hands gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Zhenqiang raised his eyes, and in a blur, he saw the outline of the old wife.Shadowy, there are two figures, one big and one small, accompanying him, holding his hand?

There was the low sobbing of a child.Gu Zhen's consciousness was already a little slack, and it took a long time before he seemed to understand that these small hands were full.

His hands are full, Gu Zhen's hand? Slightly forceful, and the child's hand? Hold together.

"grandfather!"

Gu Zhen's heart was suddenly wrapped in warmth.He thought of many things again. He has a beloved wife who has been with him all his life, a child who cares about him, loves him, and can throw bowls and incense for him, and also has a sensible, honest and kind little grandson.He has left excellent successors for Dazhao, and he has no regrets in having them accompany him in his lifetime.

Thoughts were a little hazy, Gu Zhen finally remembered what his father said to him when he was dying.The shadows of the past, now that I think about it, it's ridiculous to stand still.

The hoarse voice caused Gu Zhen's chest to tremble for the last time.

"You guys, all be well."

In the mid-winter of the sixth year of Zhaoxi, on the twenty-eighth day of the eleventh month, the Supreme Emperor died.Emperor Zhaoxi named him Taizong, and his posthumous name was Xiao.

The world is plain, mourning for three years.

**********

Qin Tianjian calculated the date and moved the coffin of Emperor Taizong Xiao to the Feng'an Temple. After the mausoleum was repaired, it was officially buried.

At this time, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and it was almost the Chinese New Year.

It was snowing heavily in the sky, and Gu Zizhan's luanjia followed behind the coffin.The falling snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, falling one by one, covering the footprints of the palace people.

In the vast white world, the huge palace is even more empty.Eight-year-old Gu Lang was leaning against Gu Zizhan, his eyes were red, his face was tense, not letting tears flow.

Gu Zizhan held her little hand tightly, and seeing that she had relaxed a little, he carried her off the Luanjia.The two faced each other respectfully? Gu Zhen's coffin kowtowed and saluted, and the heavy palace gate was slowly closed in front of them.Inch by inch, the palace gate was heavy but silent, until the scene inside could no longer be seen.

Gu Lang couldn't hold back, and took half a step forward.Aware of his gaffe, grief and helplessness appeared on the child's face.

Gu Zizhan opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Manman, don't be sad. Grandpa has gone to heaven and will be in another world, guarding Manman."

Gu Lang buried her head on Gu Zizhan's waist, sobbing softly.

Gu Zizhan looked up at the sky, not letting his tears fall.The sky is full of bright stars, and among them is my old man.Since then, the world has been separated forever, and above the sky, it can be regarded as another reunion.

The new year of Zhaoxi's seventh year came quietly amidst the plain sadness.

Years later, although there was no celebration due to the national mourning, the relatives of each family still followed the old rules to enter the palace to have an audience.

Lian Shengnan gave birth to a son at the end of last year, and now the child is not yet full moon, so worried? Not long after Emperor Taizong passed away, the palace was completely empty, fearing that the empress dowager would be sad, so Fu You just followed? Fu Huai hurried into the palace , did not stay long and went back.Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan gave their children a lot of rewards in private, but Fu You was not very interested. He bluntly said that he wanted a daughter more, and was still looking forward to it? He would kiss Gu Zizhan more.

After sending his family away, King Han Gu Tao brought his concubine, and Princess Rong Ze led the daughter of Duke Feng, who just attacked Jue last year, into the palace together.

Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan haven't moved to the emperor's palace yet, they still live in the East Palace.Gu Lang is still young, although he has already been established as the crown prince and has hired a teacher to teach him homework, but he still cannot do without them in his life.In addition, Taizong had just left, and the queen mother was not in a good mood. She still lived in the Hekun Palace, so Gu Zizhan was not in a hurry to move.

Gu Lang followed behind Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan, and after seeing these people, after each of them saluted, she avoided the adults and secretly looked at Li Yunsi.She is studying history with Master? recently, and she can't help but be a little curious about the first female Duke in history.

Unexpectedly, she happened to meet a pair of ink-like eyes, also looking at her.

Li Yunsi is ten years older than Gu Hong, and will be nineteen this year.Although she has a noble status, because of this unique title, she is not liked by the aristocratic family, and even those who dare not express their dissatisfaction with the emperor are implicated on her head.The original marriage contract with Cheng Guo's family, before she took the throne, was found a reason and divorced.Now her marriage is naturally a little difficult.

Princess Rong Ze was very anxious about this, she was worried about the national funeral, so naturally she didn't dare to speak out, but she could hear a little bit of what was said.Gu Zizhan knew it clearly, and then looked at the person involved, but happened to notice the little action between the young couple.

Gu Zizhan was a little funny, it seemed that this young Feng Guogong didn't care about getting married at all.

Gu Zizhan gave Chu Lan a wink, and Chu Lan saw it too.With a slight smile, Chu Lan spoke to comfort Princess Rongze: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The imperial sister and I have always been close. Don't worry, you will never forget your family."

Princess Rong Ze also knew that it was not the right time, so she didn't dare to say any more.

Gu Zizhan thought of something, and asked her: "By the way, how is that long history in the imperial sister's mansion doing?"

Princess Rongze paused slightly, and quickly covered it up, and replied with a smile: "Zhou Changshi is a loyal person, and she handles affairs very appropriately. She takes care of all the big and small affairs of my family, and she is a reliable person."

Gu Zizhan nodded, "As women, many things are more convenient." The current Zhou Changshi is Zhou Xiaoting, the young lady of the Zhou family in Angzhou City.In the first year of Zhaoxi, Zhou Yuanwai fell ill, and Zhou Xiaoting failed to take part in the imperial examination after a long illness.It was not until the fifth year of Zhaoxi, when Yuanwai Zhou got better, that she went to the capital to prepare for the exam again.

At that time, Zhou Xiaoting was preparing for the Spring Festival in the capital. Several families who were jealous of the Zhou family's property took the opportunity to collude with the Zhou family's side branches, and framed Zhou's family members to conceal business taxes.Some people in the local government also took bribes, and several parties colluded to take away the Zhou family's property.Zhou Xiaoting was unavoidably affected, and in the end she missed out on the No. [-] Scholar. It was Gu Zizhan who saw that there was another meaning in her test paper and clicked on Tanhua.

Zhou Xiaoting sued the imperial court, and Gu Zizhan ordered a thorough investigation before the Zhou family was preserved.Zhou Xiaoting was on the cusp of the storm, and Hanlin Qinggui couldn't do it. It happened that Princess Rongze was promoted to princess at that time, so she was arranged to be the long history of the princess mansion.

Thinking of this, Gu Zizhan said a few more words: "She is talented, after a few more years of experience, I will consider releasing her."

Princess Rong Ze's complexion froze, and she paused before saying: "It is her blessing to be valued by His Majesty. I have thanked His Majesty for her." Although she said so, her tone was a little unnatural .

Gu Zizhan was surprised in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.After a few people chatted for a while, Gu Tao and Rong Ze got up to leave, and they had to go to Hekun Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

Gu Lang suddenly made a sound, blinked his eyes, and said to Gu Zizhan: "Father, in the future, can you let the eldest sister come to the palace to accompany me?" Quietly act like a baby.She is very clear that matters in the palace have always been decided by A Niang.

Gu Zizhan was amused by her weird appearance, but he couldn't really disregard other people's wishes and let them play with her.Chu Lan also smiled, tapped the tip of Gu Lang's nose, and said, "You? Big sister is different from you, you? If you want her, you can invite her yourself. Of course, it depends on whether she is free or not." , cannot be forced."

Gu Lang was overjoyed, raised his smiling face, and asked Li Yunsi: "Big sister, the first month is busy, so I don't dare to bother you. After the first month is over, how about I invite you?"

Li Yunsi swayed and smiled at Gu Lang, "Okay."

At night, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan cuddled together, reading a book of miscellaneous notes under the lamp.

Thinking of what happened during the day, Gu Zizhan said, "I think there seems to be something strange between Rong Ze and her long history."

Chu Lan looked away from the book, "Why is it so strange?"

Gu Zizhan frowned, "I can't say it, I just feel that when I asked Zhou Xiaoting about it, especially when I said that I was going to let her out, Rong Ze's expression was a little unnatural." She scratched her head, "It doesn't seem like dissatisfaction, how can I say it?" , Alas, it's just a little strange."

Chu Lan laughed at her, "Since there is no dissatisfaction, why do you care so much about other people's family affairs?"

Gu Zizhan disagreed, "That won't work, Gu Tao is valued by me now, and I also thought about Li Yunsi? After a while, he will be released to the household department and practice with Tan Sixian. The matter of Rong Ze cannot be ignored." She couldn't sit still, I hurriedly wrote a letter, got up and went outside the hall to call Li Lianying, the chief internal officer, and asked him to take this to Luan Nan.

After Gu Zizhan became emperor, Xiaofengying was no longer just Donggongwei, but integrated Huamanlou's forces and became a specialized intelligence department.Liu Zan went to the Dragon Knights, and Luan Nan took over the Xiaofeng Battalion, becoming the first commander in chief of the Xiaofeng Battalion.And Commander Luan now has another identity, he finally "married" into the Zhongyi uncle's mansion relying on his thick skin.

This time, Gu Zizhan arranged for Luan Nan to go to Princess Rongze's residence to find out if there was anything wrong between the two of them.

Five days later, Luan Nan came to see Gu Zizhan with a strange expression on his face.

Gu Zizhan is playing chess with Chu Lan.Although her stinky chess basket is as stinky as ever, she has become interested in it recently. She forced Chu Lan to be her teacher, and bothered Chu Lan to teach her how to play chess all day long.

Glancing at Luan Nan, Gu Zizhan asked strangely, "You? What's the matter? I made Uncle Zhongyi angry again. Don't I give you food?"

Luan Nan waved his hands hurriedly, "What's the matter! My Mulan is gentle and generous, just advising me to pay attention to my body and eat a reasonable diet so that I won't get fat in middle age!"

Gu Zizhan sneered, "Nothing!" As soon as he turned his head, he met Chu Lan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Gu Zizhan choked, and said embarrassingly: "Well, it's right to listen to my wife! Oh, let's not talk about this, you? Let me tell you first, how is the situation in Princess Rongze's house?"

Luan Nan slandered her inwardly, but when she thought of the news she had inquired about, her face showed strangeness again.After thinking for a while, he said, "According to the report from the person who arranged to enter the princess mansion, there is no quarrel between the eldest princess and Zhou Changshi, on the contrary, they are very close."

"When Zhou Changshi first entered the princess mansion, because of his blunt temper, he dealt with a few dishonest servants. Some people were dissatisfied, so they went to the eldest princess to provoke. The two were a little unhappy at one time. But later, somehow That's right, the eldest princess went to Zhou Changshi's room once she was drunk. Since then, the two have become close. Zhou Changshi likes sour and salty food, and the eldest princess even sent someone to find someone from Angzhou The cook is here, let Zhou Changshi cook a small meal alone."

"In August last year, the eldest princess' daughter inherited the title of Duke Feng and moved out. Since then, the eldest princess has often let Zhou Changshi stay in the room. It was not until Taizong passed away that Zhou Changshi moved back."

"The Angzhou cook who cooks for Zhou Changshi is our Huamanlou man. According to him, every time the eldest princess eats with Zhou Changshi, all the servants will be sent away. Once he made soup It was a bit late, when it was sent in, the eldest princess seemed to be drunk, lying in Zhou Changshi's arms, and kissed Zhou Changshi's face!"

With a "boom", Gu Zizhan spilled a cup of hot tea all over his body.

Gu Zizhan exclaimed: "What? Still, kissed! And then?"

Luan Nan was a little embarrassed, "There's no more, the cook was kicked out at that time, and he was almost kicked out afterwards."

Gu Zizhan became even more curious, "Then why didn't you drive him away in the end?"

Luan Nan scratched his head, "He doesn't know why, probably the butler of the Princess Mansion pleaded for him?" Luan Nan looked gossipy, "By the way, my lord, you don't know yet, but the butler was a child Followed by the eldest princess, she didn't get married in three, sixteen, seven, but now, she has fallen in love with our cook!"

Gu Zizhan spilled the newly poured tea on his body again.

Nodding his head, Gu Zizhan said sincerely: "The imperial sister's house is full of talents." After thinking about it, she found that the cook was her own, and sighed: "We are full of talents in the building."

Luan Nan chuckled, "That's right, it's because the Lord has a good leader and taught well!" He already knew Gu Zizhan's identity as a woman, and also knew the relationship between her and Chu Lan, and he had long been surprised by these things. Strange.It's just that Princess Rongze has an unusual status and is an outsider, so she was a little surprised before.

Gu Zizhan poohed him, and didn't want to see his gossip face again.

Chu Lan glanced at Gu Zizhan, then said to Luan Nan, "From now on, don't inquire about this kind of personal affairs."

Gu Zizhan's face was serious, and he followed his wife's words and began to blame him. "That's right, you? Anyway, you're also the commander-in-chief of the mock wind camp, always staring at other people's rooms, shameless."

Eighteen wrinkles appeared on Luan Nan's middle-aged fair face. Someone bullied him!I'm so wronged, I really want to go home and cry with my wife!
