Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Xingguofang

Ningyuan Houfu

big room,

Lord Mother’s Courtyard,

Gu Yankai was holding his eldest grandson with a majestic look on his face, but his eyes were full of love.

"Ouch! He laughed!"

After Gu Yankai raised his head, he saw Gu Tingye and Gu Tingyi playing huotong.

Gu Tingyu had already returned to the study to handle official duties, while Pingmei stood by Bai's side, concentrating on learning how Bai dealt with the huge Gu and Bai family's various properties.

No one paid any attention to him.

But he didn't care, and continued to look down at his eldest grandson majestically, and then his beard was grabbed.

"Hey! You kid, how can you be so energetic!"

When Bai heard Gu Yan's voice, she rolled her eyes at him in disgust.

At this moment,

Outside the courtyard, Qi Sheng walked over quickly,

After some communication, I was led directly to the door of the main house by Granny Chang:

"Master, Madam, someone is coming from the palace. Please prepare our family to receive the order."

"Ah? Hiss!"

Gu Yankai, who suddenly raised his head, cried out in pain, and the beardless Gu family and grandson began to howl.

The Gu family put on their grand attire and set up the incense table. When the chief minister came to the front of the hall, everyone hurriedly knelt down.

"My wife is the Bai family. My husband is Gu Yankai and my son is Gu Tingyu. They are dedicated to the affairs of the country. They are noble and upright. They are sincere, gentle, kind and filial to others. Their natural talent can be awarded to the lady of Danyang County. I admire her."

After hearing the decree, the people in the fourth and fifth rooms looked at each other in surprise.

A merchant's daughter actually got a royal title! ! ?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"Gu Hou, madam, please get back on your feet."

The Ouchi official said in a gentle tone.

Bai Shi was still a little confused at this time. Why did she become a second-grade emperor when nothing happened?

After giving a red seal to the high official who came to announce the decree, Gu Yankai and his family sent the high official off. As he walked, he asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law, I wonder why this sudden reward is given?"

The chief minister smiled and said: "Of course Madam is of high moral character. Your Majesty feels that Marquis Gu and Lord Gu are devoted to state affairs, so he rewards you."

After saying that, the chief eunuch walked down the steps of Gu's house. Gu Tingyu hurriedly followed a few steps and helped the chief eunuch open the sedan curtain.

Looking at the eldest son of the Gu family, the chief minister looked at the young Gu Tingyu, thought for less than half a breath, and whispered: "Master Gu, Brother Jing entered the palace this afternoon and spoke to His Majesty for a while. That’s why the slave trip came about.”

"Thank you, officer."

"Your Majesty, your words are strong."

Watching the palace team leave,

Gu Tingyu walked back to the mother's courtyard of the Gu family,

In the front hall, Bai was still stroking the imperial uniform with some disbelief, and looked back at Grandma Chang.

Grandma Chang also had a smile on her face, but there were some tears in her eyes.

Bai turned her head and looked at Gu Tingyu who walked in. Bai sighed in her heart. She knew that imperial edicts cherished their words like gold, so she would not add Gu Tingyu's name casually.

Looking at Gu Tingyu, Bai Shi smiled and said:

"Yu'er, thank you for your hard work."

Bai knew that after Gu Tingyu got an official position, he was busy with the map of the Zhou Dynasty every day. Although he did not forget to sleep and eat, he was still working hard. Even if he had a lot of knowledge and could not remember it, he was tired and worked hard.

After Gu Tingyu raised his head and glanced at Gu Tingye, he bowed respectfully and said:

"My mother is so upright and upright. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Bai nodded with tears in her eyes. She just did good deeds and didn't care about her future.

She didn't ask, but looking at Gu Tingyu's expression, Bai was pleased.

Gu Tingye looked at his elder brother and then at Bai, feeling at a loss and panic in his eyes.

Just after Xu Shi (after 9 p.m.)

Fuyao Courtyard,

Gu Tingyu held his eldest son in his arms and looked at Pingmei, who was taking off her hairpin ring while being served by Cuichan, and said, "Madam, the next life will be yours."

When Pingmei heard this, she looked back at Gu Tingyu with a smile and said, "Then I'll wait."

In the palace,

Listening to the contents of the emperor's proposed decree, Xu Zaijing felt happy for Bai Shi from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also felt a little bit complacent. The reason for his complacency may only be known to him.

Looking at Xu Zaijing's face, the prince Zhao Fang glanced at the queen, and after receiving an encouraging look, he said:

"Brother Jing, I know you have a hard time studying. How about I help you and your father get an official position?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I have a small question that I would like to ask Your Highness for help."

When Zhao Fang heard what Xu Zaijing said, he was very happy that he could help Xu Zaijing answer the question and hurriedly said:

"Brother Jing, just say what you say."

"If the Zhou Dynasty is a carriage and the ministers are the horses pulling the carriage, how can we run faster?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Fang said: "Then there are many horses to pull the cart, and the horses can run very fast."

"There are countless horses like crucian carp crossing the river. How can you tell which horse is fast?"

"No Soma!"

"Your Highness, there are all kinds of horses. Do you want to see each other one by one? Isn't it too slow?"

"Then, let's let the horses compete first, and then go and see each other."

"What His Highness said is true. This imperial examination is a competition to select a lot of fast horses so that they can pull the carriage fast and far."

"Without going through all the tests, without the help of a familiar horse, yet suddenly I am on top of the horse. The horse is so unruly, how can it be convinced? It will definitely not be able to work with me to pull the carriage far and well. "

Looking at the encouraging eyes of the emperor and empress, Xu Zaijing said: "There is also a saying in "Han Feizi" that for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, fierce generals must start from the ranks of soldiers, and prime ministers must be sent to prefectures and counties. Without training, you can suddenly reach a high position and be determined by the court. It’s useless.”

"Brother Jing, what do you mean, you need to go through the imperial examination to select more fast horses, so that I can pull my Zhou Dynasty carriage far and well?"

"What your Highness said is true."

"Then, how good the selected horse is? You must first let it try to pull a county's cart. If it pulls well, let it pull a state's cart.

Xu Zaijing bowed and saluted.

"Brother Jing, what kind of car do you want to pull?"

"Forerunner of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, the emperor and the queen looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Zaijing said goodbye and left the hall.

In the palace, Zhao Fang looked at the emperor and said, "Father, you are really amazing at being able to choose so many powerful ministers and so many horses in the court!"

The emperor was stunned, looked at the queen in surprise, and touched his beard feeling comfortable.

When Xu Zaijing came outside the palace, he followed the eunuch to his residence.

He raised his head and glanced at the starry sky and said to himself: 'This carriage is carrying the people of Great Zhou. ’

Early the next morning.

Yin Shizhengji (four o'clock in the morning)

Because he was going to the school, Xu Zaijing got up early to exercise again as before.

Zhao Fang was awakened by the queen while still sleeping.

"Fang'er, Brother Jing has already started to get up. Do you want to go take a look?"

Zhao Fang, who was still in a daze just now, came over in an instant and said: "Go, I'll go!"

After Xu Zaijing washed and dressed under the service of a middle-aged female official, the female official bowed and said: "Brother Jing, the empress has ordered that you can move around as you please outside this palace. Don't be restrained."

Xu Zaijing nodded.

After leaving the palace gate, the morning breeze was still a bit cold.

Xu Zaijing warmed up slowly, as if he knew his habits. Outside the hall, there were several rows of weapon racks similar to those in the Xu family's horse racing and martial arts arena.

In the open space outside the temple, there are two rows of bright lanterns standing on the ground.

The palace guards were patrolling not far away with lanterns in hand, and the sound of neat footsteps was heard.

Xu Zaijing stroked the weapon carefully made by the craftsmen on the weapon rack, picked up a long gun with a metal barrel, and then began to swing it slowly. Although the barrel of the gun was heavy, the inertial force after dancing was even greater.

But in Xu Zaijing's hands, it stopped instantly.

Then the spear kept thrusting forward like a poisonous snake spitting out messages. The moves were extremely fast and hit the vital points, and then suddenly turned into thorns.

In less than a quarter of an hour,

Another team of guards began to patrol here. In the light and shadow of the lantern, they saw a person dancing with a spear as if he were a startling dragon. The momentum was astonishing and at the same time very beautiful.

Walking to the middle of the road where you can see Xu Zaijing,

One of the guards said softly: "Flower display."

As soon as he finished speaking,

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

Several explosions were heard. Looking at the wooden stake that made a loud noise when it was touched by the gun, you were hit by this movement. Even if you were wearing armor, you would not die or be seriously injured.

The voice came from the guards again.

"I'm talking about myself."

The guards continued patrolling and left the place.

After practicing for quite some time,

Xu Zaijing heard footsteps that were different from those of the imperial guards. He stopped practicing with his spear and looked around.

"I have met the empress, Your Highness."

"Brother Jing, how long have you been practicing?"

"Go back to Your Highness in half an hour."

"Brother Jing, you are holding it so easily. Is it the wooden gun in the palace?"

"Your Highness, it's an iron spear."

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing handed the spear in his hand to the internal officer. The internal official looked at the spear spinning in Xu Zaijing's hand like a blade of grass and thought it was not heavy.

Then as soon as he took over, if Xu Zaijing hadn't completely let go, the official would have been shaking his waist.

"Thank you, Brother Jing."

After speaking, the internal officer held the iron gun vigorously and came to Zhao Fang's side. Looking at the gun barrel with a metallic luster under the candlelight, Zhao Fang looked surprised.

After saying a few words, Zhao Fang was very motivated and wanted to practice with Xu Zaijing outside the palace, but Xu Zaijing persuaded him to go to the Queen's Palace.

When it got daylight, Xu Zaijing had breakfast at his residence and finished his homework.

Wait until 3:30 p.m. (after 9:45 a.m.)

Xu Zaijing arrived at the Queen's Palace,

But this time it was not in the inner room where we had dinner last night, but somewhere outside.

Seven imperial guards with similar body shapes to the previous Bai Gao Kingdom warriors stood beside him.

However, Zhao Fang had always been very curious about Xu Zaijing's process of Pan Lou injuring several people that day, and begged the empress to let Brother Jing reappear.

The queen felt something was wrong, but the emperor smiled and said: "It's okay, I have my own benefits. Sir, go to my desk and bring it over."

When Xu Zaijing entered the palace, the queen gently explained the matter clearly and said: "Your Majesty said that it is in your interest, so I will not stop him."

Xu Zaijing quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, for your consideration."

The emperor waved his hand, and the leading imperial guard bowed and said, "Brother Jing, even a humble official knows what happened."

Xu Zaijing: "Please."

Immediately, Xu Zaijing reappeared according to the situation in Panlou that day, whether it was the fist that stopped at Bu Zhou Tianhuan's neck, or the last time he caught the sleeve arrow with his bare hands and threw it back,

Xu Zaijing did not hurt anyone.

The injuries and being kicked away were all due to the guards' own strength. However, Qingyun, the junior official who played the role of Prince Bai Gaoguo, screamed with style, which made the empress and Zhao Fang laugh.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand and said: "Reward!"

Everyone thanked him and left.

The emperor looked at Xu Zaijing who was staying in the palace and said, "Brother Jing, I won't let you perform in vain. Here, take it."

Xu Zaijing curiously took what the chief internal officer handed over, looked at it carefully, and then his eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, this is"

"The burial place of the massacred Baigao royal family, Mimu, Liannu and other families."

"Why would Beiliao give me such information to Da Zhou? Wouldn't it be better to hide it in his hands and control the people who defected?"

The emperor nodded approvingly and said:

"Brother Jing, the few people who defected are very useful. Marquis Tuoxi has invaded Baigao Kingdom, and this news is not from Beiliao, but from the Imperial City Secretary."

When he said the last sentence, the emperor's tone was full of emotion.

Xu Zaijing said with a sigh.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have been so ruthless."

"If it weren't for the fact that they were so seriously injured and no longer a threat, Bai Gaoguo would have surrounded and killed them. The last piece of information was personally picked out by the head of the Imperial City Department a few days ago. It was Mimu Tuoxia, The descendants of Lian Nu and Baili also have the characteristics of Meimi Chusheng's mother, and they are now in the hands of the officials in the imperial city of Bai Gao Kingdom."

Looking at Xu Zaijing in a daze, the emperor continued: "Your father is now setting up an army. These three people have already learned most of what Tuo Xihou has learned. From now on, they will join the army of Yongyihou."

Xu Zaijing knew that the presence or absence of these pieces of information would have a huge difference in how much they could vomit.

For the sake of your own children or for your loved ones to be buried in peace. How could the defected Bai Gao warrior not help Xu Minghua with all his money?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Xu Zaijing was about to salute, but was supported by the chief minister.

"Go ahead."

Seeing Xu Zaijing happily leaving the palace, the emperor smiled and said to the queen: "I will give this to the Xu family. Will the queen feel uncomfortable?"

The queen said:

"We are all trying to open up territory for the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Paoze can help more, our sons and sons will suffer fewer casualties. Your Majesty, don't you know that Marquis Tuoxi has made a booklet of what he has learned and distributed it to the British Duke and Marquis Yongyi. Are they?"

"Your Majesty said it as if my mother-in-law is stingy. I have to take care of Yue'er tonight. Your Majesty, please go to Sister Rong Fei's place."

After saying that, the queen stood up and led Zhao Fang outside.

"Father, you have made your mother angry again!"

The emperor looked at the minister who lowered his head and said, "Oh my God, why can't the queen be so amused?"

Pei Yuanchen looked down at the post in his hand, sighed and said:

"Di Jing, do you really want to serve under Xu Hou?"

"yes."

"If you go north, you just have to wear your belt with your head."

"My subordinate is willing to go to the frontier to make contributions."

"Okay! Since you have decided to leave, I have approved it."

Back home, Xu Zaijing handed over the things given by the emperor to his father.

However, Xu Minghua, who had received the brochure from Tuo Xihou in advance, was not as overjoyed as Xu Zaijing.

But he had a plan in mind, and he was going to use these things to make a few people reveal more things.

At the end of February before Xu Minghua and his eldest son Xu Zaiduan left,

The Xu family accepted the post given by the palace. In early March, the emperor opened Jinming Pool to conduct a naval parade, leaving a good place for Yongyi Hou Mansion.
