Chapter 915 Extra: Gu Yunyan (Autobiography)
I have never seen my father since I was born.
My grandmother told me that my father was a general guarding the border, and he walked on the edge of a knife for the sake of this family and the entire Great Zhou.
But my second brother secretly told me that my father went to the border only for wealth, glory and power.
I don't care about these, just as I don't care about the fact that I am not favored at home.
My grandmother doted on my eldest brother, my mother sympathized with my second brother, but I was the only one who was like a small transparent person, with no one loving me.
Haha, when I become the emperor's woman, the most powerful woman in the world, they will all crawl at my feet and beg for my forgiveness.
The eldest brother was a fool. He was bewitched by a merchant woman and made a scene in his grandfather's funeral hall for her.
I was watching the show from the sidelines, but I didn't expect that my mother, who was in charge of everything, would actually give the task of entertaining the guests to me.
I was excited but also a little nervous. Was my journey to becoming a queen going to start here?
What should I do? I am not mentally prepared yet.
As it turned out, I was really not prepared. I was exhausted and made a fool of myself by everyone in Kyoto.
When I went to report to my mother anxiously, she was not angry. Instead, she encouraged me to keep trying.
My heart felt sore and I inexplicably wanted to cry.
Did you finally see me?
Perhaps, children have a natural dependence on their mothers.
As soon as my mother softened her attitude a little, I just wanted to stay by her side so that she could only see me in her eyes and not look at my eldest brother or second brother anymore.
A Niang seems to have really changed.
She became like the clouds in the sky and like the calm lake, peaceful and natural.
Being with her, all the restlessness in my heart seemed to be dispelled.
She no longer held on to power, but handed the mansion over to Jingniang.
I felt sad. My mother must have loved my eldest brother. For him, she was even willing to accept a merchant girl as the mistress of the marquis's mansion.
"Here you go, Thirty-Six Stratagems and a recipe."
!!!
No! My mother still loves me the most.
She gave all the family secrets to me instead of to my eldest and second brothers.
Ever since my mother gave me the secret book, I feel like my life has changed dramatically.
The Marquis' Mansion was in a mess because of Jingniang, and Jingniang broke up with her eldest brother.
My mother handed the Marquis' Mansion over to me. I studied the Thirty-Six Stratagems hard while managing the Mansion, and my body and mind were both elevated.
The more I learn about the 36 Stratagems, the more I realize how powerful A Niang is!
Each of her steps seemed simple, but in fact, they were not simple at all. Everything was under her control, and even the Emperor of the Great Zhou was part of her plan.
I knew my family was going to be short of money, so I decided to go into business.
No matter what my mother wants to do, I will stand firmly behind her.
As for my eldest and second brothers, even though they are unreliable, they were also born from my mother's womb. I can't just ignore them.
Time flies like an arrow.
My mother went to Yunzhou to defeat Caoyuan, and I also opened my business in Yunzhou.
Yunzhou was desolate, the people were skinny and had numb expressions on their faces.
But when A Niang led them to victory after victory, and when workshops in Yunzhou sprang up everywhere, light appeared in their eyes.
It is a desire for a better life and also an admiration for A Niang.
I looked at A Niang's back, feeling very confused. She was so frail, why did she have to carry such a heavy responsibility on her shoulders?
The second brother didn’t understand either, but he gave up his dream of traveling around the world and chose to go out to sea to make money.
We all know that the path that A Niang is going to take is one that will be difficult to take without money.
I thought that the Emperor of the Great Zhou would reward A Niang for her contributions, but I didn't expect that what I got in return was deep fear and ruthless suppression time and time again.
"This is the art of being an emperor." A Niang raised the corners of her mouth with a mocking smile.
I was unwilling to accept it: "Are all emperors like this?"
A Niang touched my head and said, "Most of them are like this. Only a strong and wise ruler can rule the country with Tao, not tactics."
I don't understand, but it doesn't matter, I will read it slowly. The only person who can be called a wise ruler is my mother!
Soon, I witnessed the horror of the emperor's tactics.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou sold us to the Tartars.
A'niang is alone and deep in the enemy's territory, being attacked from both sides. I must lead the old, weak, women and children in Yunzhou to defend Yunzhou and protect the retreat route of hundreds of thousands of troops!
This was an extremely brutal war.
I fought madly, and my great strength, which I was proud of, only allowed me to kill one or two more people than others.
As their strength was gradually exhausted, more and more Tatars climbed up the city wall.
The city gate was breached!
My eyes were about to pop out, but I heard a deafening explosion.
One, two, three...
The people of Yunzhou embraced the defective explosive packs and went to their deaths voluntarily.
Tears blurred my eyes.
At this moment, I understood the significance of A Niang's persistence in Yunzhou.
You cannot take a step back, because behind you are your family and the home we have built together!
When the smoke cleared, Yunzhou was left desolate, like a dead city.
I took the initiative to guard the city gate.
I was thinking, if I were as good as A Niang, would the battle of Yunzhou not have been so difficult?
The lame old soldier, the widowed woman...
Can they survive?
My shoulders felt heavy, and I seemed to feel the weight on my mother's shoulders.
Mother is back.
Yunzhou City welcomed back its backbone, and the people dared to let themselves cry out loud.
I was silently wiping my tears behind my mother, all kinds of emotions were crushed into a ball in my heart. I wanted to do something, but I didn't know how to do it.
In order to suppress A Niang, the Emperor of the Great Zhou refused to reward the sacrificed soldiers.
A Niang was completely furious and led her troops to attack Shuozhou.
Go, Auntie! Only under your leadership can we usher in true peace and justice!
Starting from Shuozhou, A Niang's territory expanded step by step.
Hezhong County, Henan County, Kyoto...
A Niang finally became emperor.
As I stood on the wall of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, my ambition grew in the wind.
Especially when my mother told me that I also had the opportunity to sit in that position, I finally knew what I wanted!
Persuade the Three Kingdoms and Western Xia to surrender, and have a child with Alchuan.
I told the man with admiring eyes that if he dared to leak even a word, I would kill him.
Alechuan was a capable general, and I didn't want to waste his talent. Fortunately, he was a man who kept his promises, never married, and stayed at the frontier all his life.
Later, I finally took over the throne from A Niang.
I swear to my mother, Dayun will only become better and its territory will only become more vast!
The three of us brothers and sisters all know that our mother doesn't want to see us killing each other.
So, I didn't take action against my eldest and second brothers.
The eldest brother never got married and stayed in the post of patrol inspector all his life. He said that he was protecting the country established by A Niang in another way.
The second brother was obsessed with sailing, and finally when he was 50 years old, he was ready to find the New World.
I wish him success.
On the day A Niang left, there were lightning and thunder, and earthquakes occurred everywhere, as if the whole world was going to die with her.
Fortunately, the systems and manpower left behind by A Niang quickly stabilized the situation.
After losing our pillar of support, Dayun and I stumbled and struggled forward.
This book is officially finished. (Just as you guessed, Xiao Cui was also the work of the Kind Mother System. The system brought three people through time and space, but did not get any energy replenishment, so it was recycled.)
Thank you for your continued support. Because of you, I can tell this story completely.
I wanted to change the name, but gave up. I have a baby who is raising books, and if I change the name, I may not be able to find it.
It's hard to let go, but it will eventually come to an end.
The sea of books is vast. I hope we can meet in a new book. I hope the new story will still be liked by you.
Heart, love you.
