Chapter 136

Xiping is a country full of disasters. Although it has a long history, it spent most of its time in ups and downs. The vast territory and the lack of military strength of the imperial court made the rebellion of vassal kings rag on this land for hundreds of years, and the wars with neighboring countries and clans were also intermittently, burning the people in dire straits.

When Lu Zhaohui won the throne from his father, he faced such a troubled time.

Different from his later ruthlessness, Lu Zhaohui was full of enthusiasm for everything in his prime. Just one year after he became the new emperor, his footprints have covered most of the mountains and rivers, just to understand the sufferings of the people and seek for talents.

At that time, Xiping was the first in terms of territory, but its national strength was not as good as that of many neighboring small countries. Those talented officials who had the ability to run the country went to other nationalities one after another, and few chose to stay in the Communist Dynasty and contribute their talents and strength. Lu Zhaohui, as a new emperor, has a headache. He often can't sleep at night. He is full of thoughts about how to make the dynasty stronger and forge himself into a Ming emperor.

Just then, a young man in white came into his field of vision with a smile.

To this day, no one knows why Gu fengxiao came at first. Wen and Wu of the Manchu Dynasty only heard that the emperor had received a white man in cloth who came to visit him. After a long talk all night, they called him Mr. respectfully. They asked him for several days and kept on asking questions.

Seven days later, the youngest and most mysterious national teacher was born.

"Gu Guoshi's intelligence is rare in the world. Although he is young, he has calligraphy in his chest, and his words are full of wisdom. He always gives the best advice, whether it's the proposition of the state or the policy of the previous dynasty, whether it's the formulation of the law or the pension of the people. Those years can be said to be the most glorious years of the Communist Dynasty. No one expected that such a huge change would take place in just a few years. The common people would stop making trouble, and the neighbors would not dare to disturb. By virtue of the new military law promulgated by Gu Guoshi, the number of troops in the Xiping imperial court increased rapidly from 110000 to more than 400000, which was no longer the dangerous Xiping. Those are the most useless and comfortable years in my life. "

Among the residual aroma of wine, Su Muzha seemed to be drunk again. He slightly narrowed his eyes, probably did not realize that his lips aftertaste happiness smile, even the tone of speech are slow up.

"When he was young, the emperor once said that his greatest wish in this life was to let the Communist Party reign in Zhongzhou and make the country peaceful and the people peaceful. It seems that in order to meet the emperor's expectation, God specially sent Gu Guoshi. They are a perfect match. They have a brilliant plan to divide the world. They fight against the top of the tide with a horizontal knife, just like the natural twin dragon balls, creating one miracle after another. "

When Gu Chaoxi unified the river and lake with his amazing talent, his brother Gu fengxiao, who is connected by blood, is on another road, and the brilliance created by him is no less than the existence of Luan Xue Pavilion. However, different from Gu Chaoxi, Gu fengxiao doesn't want his name to be mentioned frequently. He always hides in the corner that others don't notice, and puts all the light on Lu Zhaohui's body, quietly watching the rise of a new generation of Mingjun.

"Gu Guoshi is very mysterious. Even after he became a Guoshi, he didn't announce his name to the public. It was only by chance that we learned about him. However, it is because of Gu Guoshi's low-key style that he can gain the most profound trust of the emperor and have no suspicion of each other. "

Skepticism is the character engraved in Lu Zhaohui's bones. Only Gu fengxiao, who does not fight, does not fight, and silently puts everything on the surface, can he really win Lu Zhaohui's trust.

However, no matter how tacit the cooperation is, the two people are not the same after all, and contradictions are inevitable.

A country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change.

At the end of the most glorious memory, Su Mu closed his eyes, and his drooping eyelids kept trembling.

"The end of the greatest age comes from the appearance of a woman. She It's Rong su. "

Rongsu, a rare but breathtaking flower in the far north.

More than 100 years ago, the then emperor led his troops to conquer the vast ice field in the far north. The ice dwellers who have been fishing and hunting for generations began to move inland, carrying their unique culture, costumes and customs, but they could not take away the rongsu flower, which they thought was holy.

It is said that once rongsu flower leaves the ice and snow environment, it will wither quickly and turn into vermicelli overnight. If you can't go to the far north in person, you can't realize the beauty of rongsu flower in any case.

Later, a Xiping emperor, who was very successful, didn't believe in heaven's destiny and insisted on planting rongsu flowers in the capital. He gave three years to the ice people who migrated to the capital. If they could not plant rongsu flowers within three years, the whole ice people would be slaughtered.

It's hard to find out whether these rumors are true or not, but there were a group of ice people who tried to cultivate rongsuhua in the warm capital of Xiping, and finally succeeded. In order to protect the flower seedlings that are hard to get and continue the beauty of the ice miracle, the ice dwellers selected the most intelligent and hardworking women to guard and take care of them day and night, and gave them the name Rong Su, which has been born for generations.

In the imperial capital, where the wonders of the world gather, Gu fengxiao, a young and promising national master, met rongsu as the first Iceland resident."Although a lot of the inhabitants of the ice field migrate inland, the climate of the capital city is really hot and they can't adapt to it, so there are not many ice field residents here, but every generation will have a rongsu staying in the palace to take care of rongsu flowers. I have never seen Rong su. In fact, there are very few people who have seen her - whether flowers or people, they are all raised in the inner palace, and only the emperor can see them among the men. "

In Su Muzha's memory, even Lu Zhaohui rarely mentioned the name of Rong su. After all, he was not the emperor who liked the wind, flowers, snow and moon. As far as he is concerned, whether women or flowers are concerned, they are at most to decorate life with some fun.

But Gu Feng smiles differently.

Gu fengxiao is a spring breeze. He likes everything bright and happy. He is proficient in tea ceremony and poetry. His works are vivid in flowers, birds, insects and fish. There are many kinds of beauties in the mountains and rivers.

Naturally, he was also particularly interested in the legend of Rong su.

Lu Zhaohui is very grateful to the national teacher who helped him stabilize the country. By chance, he learned from Gu fengxiao's poem that he was curious about Rong Suhua. He took a chance to have a private wine talk and asked the woman who was in charge of taking care of Rong Suhua to show up with her.

Rongsu and rongsu flower.

One is ugly, the other is holy and beautiful. The contrast is so funny that it is almost cruel, but it makes the legendary rongsu flower more immortal.

Lu Zhaohui didn't have much research on flowers, but he was also surprised by the sanctity embodied in Rong Suhua's whiteness. He couldn't help praising it. He looked to his national teacher and good friend, and when he was planning to give this flower to Gu fengxiao, he found that Gu fengxiao was crazy.

But not to the flower, but to the girl holding it, Rong su.

"I don't know how ugly Rong Su is. After all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I only heard that she was born blind, and there was a birthmark on her left cheek. She covered her cheek with her hair everyday, for fear that she would be seen and frighten others. " Su Muzhi vomited wine, and his eyes were full of confusion. "Even the Emperor didn't understand. Gu Guoshi was fascinated when he saw the ugly Rong su. He didn't even care about the rare Rong Su flower in the world. He kept chatting with Rong Su in the most clumsy way, like a young man who was just in love."

Hearing this, bu Qingyi finally vaguely understood: "it turns out that Rong Su is not a concubine in the harem, but an ugly flower girl? In this case, how could the emperor have a quarrel with Gu Guoshi because of her? Which of the three thousand beauties in the harem is not good in appearance and talent, as for robbing women from their own great heroes? "

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as grabbing love with a knife." Mo GUI shook his head. "I know something about the emperor. He values the country more than his children's private affairs. If he really likes Rong Su at the same time, the emperor will definitely choose to keep the virtuous officials and hand over the women he likes."

Su Muzha sighed again: "we outsiders can't tell exactly what happened among the three of them, but one thing is certain - because of Rong Su's appearance, there began to be a contradiction between the emperor and Gu Guoshi. However, until the end, Gu Guoshi still worked hard to give advice to the emperor and never had a second intention. It's hard to say what the emperor thinks of Gu Guoshi. After all, Gu Guoshi willfully stole Rong Su from the palace, which is a great insult to the emperor. "

"Steal?" Bu Qingyi and Mo GUI share the same voice.

The inner palace is heavily guarded. If it's not authorized by the emperor, ordinary men can't even enter. How does Gu fengxiao take Rong Su away from the inner palace? What's the need to do that?

The confused eyes looked at Su Mu together. However, the king of Guangling, who was full of wine and food and tired for two days, had already fallen asleep when they were staring at each other blankly. He sat in the chair and snored everywhere.

Bu Qingyi looked at Mo GUI helplessly and sighed silently: "come on, help me. You can't let him sleep here. It's too easy for him to catch cold. "

"How can this work for you, Princess Qingxiang? Just give it to me. "

In the heavy night, Mo GUI consciously carries the king of Guangling back to his bedroom, waits for bu Qingyi to cover Su Mu carefully, and sits by the bed for a long time, then accompanies her back slowly.

"There are already clues about Rong su. We should get more information after Guangling King wakes up. Now, I think it's necessary to discuss the trouble you're facing. " Halfway back to the inn, Mo GUI touched Bu Qingyi's elbow.

Bu Qingyi, still absent-minded, suddenly woke up and looked at him with a blank expression: "what's the trouble? What's up? Are you pregnant? "

Mo GUI took a deep breath and bent his fingers to play on her forehead, but he couldn't bear to. Finally, he put down his hand and just skimmed the tip of her nose.

"Just now, King Guangling said that the emperor wanted to establish the first Academy. Obviously, the spearhead is against you. If you accept and enter the school, what will happen there is no one can predict. I think In this case, you'd better leave the capital first, and I'll take over the rest. "

Bu Qingyi listened to his words, without dispute or anger. He looked at him straightly, and his tone was calm beyond expectation."Fourteen years ago, in order to protect my safety, the Lord chose to let me sleep in the ice coffin, and several years later, he faced the cold world alone. Now you want to be like him, in the name of protection, but you want to break the promise to go on together? "
