Silence is Kyoto tonight.
"Host, host! Mission progress, mission progress is about to be completed." System 101 pointed at the progress bar and jumped three feet high with joy.
"It's almost over." Gu Junwen suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. She looked up unconsciously and gazed into the distance.
The long street is like a dragon, and the lights are just coming on.
Ye Nanyi rode forward in silence. Armored guards on both sides were solemn and dignified. The people on the street subconsciously hugged their children, held their parents, protected the stalls, and stayed away.
Wherever he passed, it was as if the mute button was pressed, and suddenly there was complete silence.
There was only fear in everyone's eyes, and they just wanted to stay away.
"Host, why do I feel that the male protagonist is not happy?" System 101 seemed to have noticed the strange atmosphere, and it quietly quieted down, quietly observing the expressions of the people around it.
"People who are too clear-headed are not easy to be happy." Gu Junwen tightened the reins. The chestnut horse snorted in dissatisfaction, but still increased its speed. "Tongtong, do you know why he didn't change his name after he knew the truth?"
"Change your name? Ye Xiu Nan? Maybe you're used to it." System 101 tilted its head and asked in confusion.
"Under a leaf in Huainan, I feel like an old man in the mist. This is the path Ye Nanyi chose for himself. People say that his reputation as a playboy is fake, but after wearing the mask for so long, it has become a face."
Burn incense, brew tea, appreciate poetry, run chickens and fight dogs, carry bird cages. Bald but happy.
Gu Junwen looked at the figure in front of him: None of the royal children are stupid.
His identity is destined to attract everyone's attention, but he chose to hang out in the places of smoking, drinking, and sex. He would rather destroy his reputation than get rid of the political struggle. If Concubine Qiao hadn't threatened to die, Ye Nanyi, would you be prepared to live a sloppy life like this?
"Host, what are you thinking about?" System 101 jumped a few times, trying to show its presence. It was just a small system, and it had deceived the host for so long. It could do nothing, but just wanted the host to be happier.
"Nothing. It's almost time." No matter when, etiquette must not be abolished. Gu Junwen turned over and dismounted, standing quietly there, watching the corner of Ye Nanyiyi's clothes slowly being swallowed by the palace wall.
At this point, the people around you will drag you forward. Ye Nanyi, you will understand. Some things cannot be reversed.
"Huh." Gu Junwen let out a long breath. She should think about the next arrangements. She wanted to seek justice for the dead soldiers. Also, the upcoming rebels.
"Tongzhi, has my personality been completely destroyed? I clearly remember that I just wanted to be an indifferent fish, but I am worried about so many things." Spreading his hands helplessly, Gu Junwen followed the old man into the palace wall.
"Host, this is called growth." System 101 explained forcefully, feeling sad and frightened. It was too horrible, and the past was too unbearable to look back on.
Everything happened just as Gu Junwen had expected.
As soon as she stood still, one person took the lead and everyone knelt on the ground, saying that Emperor Mingde was not worthy of the throne, and that Ye Nan was the son of the former crown prince, and that he ascended the throne in accordance with God's will.
Looking at the old people who were swearing to the sky, knocking their heads to the ground, and crying, Gu Junwen just felt embarrassed.
In fact, it was very simple. All the people present had participated in or even condoned the usurpation of Ye Nanyi and Chu Yun, and Emperor Mingde looked as if he wanted to kill them all.
Everyone wanted to live, so the principles of monarchy and ministers, order and etiquette that were once held as the golden rule became worthless. They overturned the imperial dignity that they once regarded as their life with their own hands.
"Everyone, please stand up. Your Majesty is old, and the matter of abdication should indeed be put on the table. However, the supreme position should be discussed later." Ye Nan waved his hands one by one, indicating that they should talk about business first.
"Your Highness, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Highness should put the overall situation first." The Minister of Revenue shouted, as if it would be against the will of heaven if Ye Nan did not agree.
"Oh. He really guessed wrong. Our hero is really different." Gu Junwen stood with his head down, trying to reduce his presence. "Do you really think that the trick of refusing and refusing will work everywhere?"
"Everything is a routine." System 101 floated aside.
"But the most important thing right now is to redress the injustice and reward the meritorious." Gu Junwen raised the corner of his lips sarcastically and took a step forward, "Don't forget, everyone, there are two armies on the way to Kyoto."
It was like a wake-up call, and the whole room fell silent.
"The troops of His Majesty the Sixth Prince of Qizhou are not a threat. The focus is only on another force: the army of the Third Prince of Dezhou. Where are Sikou and Jingdu? The defense deployment, food and troops can be arranged properly."
The commotion just now was finally hastily resolved. Although it was not satisfactory, compared with their lives and property, the adults reluctantly agreed to solve the current problem first.
The gears turned and everything became orderly again.
Gu Junwen leaned against the pillar, looking at the old men with ruddy faces, who looked as if they could fight until dawn, and couldn't help yawning.
"This can be considered as the first merit. When the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be a great opportunity to reward people according to their merits." System 101 took a few glances with the help of mind reading, then looked at its host who was dozing off unconsciously, and the familiar headache began to ache again.
"When living in the world, we need to follow the order of growth of all things in nature. Work at sunrise and rest at sunset." Before he finished speaking, Gu Junwen yawned again.
"Don't worry, everything is settled. I will definitely give justice to the dead soldiers of Yebei Army." Ye Nanyi walked over at some point, passing through the bustling crowd, without any sign of decadence or frustration.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Perhaps because of what he said not long ago, Gu Junwen turned sideways and covered his slightly red ears.
"You've been living like this for so many years. It must be hard?" In order to break the awkward atmosphere and change the subject, Gu Junwen picked up what Ye Nanyi was thinking and started the conversation.
"You really understand me."
Gu Junwen was full of questions. Didn't he realize she was just making small talk? Also, didn't she tell Ye Nanyi that she could read minds?
She didn't understand what it meant to be someone understand someone.
"Look, literary masters, academic sages, brave generals, eminent monks and scholars. In the final analysis, they are all ordinary people. I want to be free of worries, but I have desires and emotions." Pushing aside all the armor, Ye Nan lowered his eyelashes in the secret corner that Gu Junwen carefully selected.
"Think about it more positively." Gu Junwen was used to arguing with System 101, but every time he faced Ye Nanyi, he felt powerless and at a loss for words.
"What about you? According to what you said, you didn't want to pursue the matter because of General Gu's request. And why did you agree to go to Tanzhou? You are obviously very disappointed with the court, and your brother... His Majesty has trapped you in the capital again."
With one leg slightly bent and leaning against a pillar, Gu Junwen looked at Gao Liang through the flickering candlelight: "It's still what General Gu said: This world is muddy and sinful, and full of holes. Someone still needs to fix it. If not for others, the people are innocent."
"There aren't many people like General Gu."
Those who stand in the sun should not end up in a sloppy way.
There are countless tombs as numerous as stars. I wonder how many lines of ink the historians will write about them?
The heroic spirit of waving the whip for a thousand miles, and the heroic appearance of riding a horse across the grassland.
"Don't worry. The night is about to end and dawn is coming."
