Gu Yuan's request to live alone in the Eastern Palace was ruthlessly rejected by Gu Jue: "I didn't move to Qianxi No. 5 until I was eight years old."
“…” Gu Yuan was speechless.
As a son, he can never surpass his father.
Gu Yuan was still a little depressed until the family of four left Shouning Palace.
At dusk, the setting sun was half gone, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds, like a brocade.
The black cat Yueying walked in front with an elegant cat-like step, followed closely by Gu Yuan, and Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue who was holding little Jiaojiao walked at the end.
As the black cat walked, it occasionally looked back at Gu Yuan, fearing that he had gotten lost, as if "the cat was worried sick about him".
Gu Yuan would look back at the little girl in Gu Jue's arms from time to time, thinking: his sister is still too young, and as the eldest brother, he should help his mother take care of his sister. When he is eight years old, his sister will also be old enough to start education, and he can move out.
After figuring it out, the little guy's steps became a lot lighter.
When he turned around, he found that Yueying was gone.
Strange, where is Yueying? Gu Yuan looked around and saw the black cat running after a colorful butterfly, its long tail waving excitedly as it ran towards the sparkling lake not far away.
"Moon Shadow!"
Gu Yuan shouted quickly, and the black cat in front of him on the right stopped immediately and turned to look at Gu Yuan. The pupil of its emerald green cat's eyes turned into a slit, as if asking, what are you doing?
"Yueying, come back." Gu Yuan shouted again.
So the black cat came back obediently and rubbed his calf affectionately, making him smile.
On the boy's delicate and pretty face, his eyes curved into a pair of happy crescents, and when he smiled he looked about 50% similar to Shen Qianchen.
The black cat continued to move forward, insisting on walking in front of Gu Yuan.
Shen Qianchen, who was standing behind, also found the cat and the baby interesting.
Their cat Yueying is already seven years old, which is middle-aged for a cat.
Cats are proud animals. The cat in their house has always been indifferent to them. Even if they call its name, eight out of ten times he won't even give them a look. But the cat is very good to Gu Yuan. As long as Gu Yuan calls it, the cat will respond to their requests.
When Gu Yuan was just born, the black cat always stayed by his side, as if it was afraid that he would starve to death. It often brought him live fish caught from the pond, dried fish stolen from the imperial kitchen, chicken jerky, and so on.
Gu Jue once said jokingly that Yueying treated Gu Yuan as his younger brother.
Shen Qianchen felt that it was possible.
As Gu Yuan grew up from a baby, the cat was always with him, probably treating him as a cub that needed protection.
Shen Qianchen couldn't help but laugh, remembering the first time she saw the black cat in Jishidiang, it looked scarred, pitiful and helpless, and she also thought of the person who gave the cat to her.
That young monk in white robes as white as snow, spotless.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
Shen Qianchen asked casually: "The monk will be here soon, right?"
"About ten days left." Gu Jue said as he carefully adjusted the swaddling clothes in his arms.
Just as Gu Jue expected, the Hao people led by Wuhejialou arrived in the capital on May 14th.
The news that the young Emperor Hao was coming to visit Da Qi had already spread throughout the capital, and many people were eagerly waiting to see what kind of person this Emperor Hao, who was not much different in age from the current emperor, would be.
These days, all kinds of speculations have been spreading in the capital. Some people say that Emperor Hao's ears hang down to his shoulders, his hands are below his knees, his eyes can see his ears, and his face is like a demon; some people say that Emperor Hao is like Bai Wuchang, a killer without blinking an eye; some people say that Emperor Hao was seriously injured by the previous false emperor Wuhadu Luo, and his body is weak and skinny...
All kinds of bizarre speculations cannot stop everyone's curiosity about Emperor Hao.
On the morning of May 14, thousands of Black Armor Army soldiers began to clear the road from the Imperial Palace, extending all the way to the South City Gate. The area around the city gate was heavily guarded, and the soldiers guarding the city gate asked the people to go through other gates because the emperor was going to come here in person to welcome Emperor Hao into the palace.
Now, the people who don’t have urgent matters don’t want to leave even more.
Whether it is the opportunity to meet the Current Emperor or the Emperor Hao, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention the gathering of the two emperors of the North and the South. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to have the next one in your lifetime.
Everyone stretched their necks curiously and looked towards the south.
At the end of the official road, the first thing that came into everyone's view was the white flags fluttering in the wind, and the sound of messy horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
A team of hundreds of people came towards this side in a mighty manner. As they got closer, their faces gradually became clearer.
Leading the group was a white-robed monk in his mid-twenties, riding a heroic white horse with outstanding grace and demeanor.
Most of the people couldn't actually see the monk's appearance clearly from where they were, but they could feel that his aura was very different from that of the other people around him. He stood out from the crowd, and everyone's attention was involuntarily attracted to him.
The people were in an uproar, talking at once: "Is this Emperor Hao?!"
"A monk must be pure in mind and body, so he can be an emperor?"
"Who said that monks can't be emperors?"
“…”
Various arguments arose one after another, and there was a noisy clamor all around.
Someone in the crowd said, "I remember this Emperor Hao came to the capital seven or eight years ago, right?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Immediately, someone who knew the situation brought up the fact that Uhajaro had been on a diplomatic mission to Da Qi as the eldest prince of Nanhao. Speaking of this, it was inevitable to mention the Nanhao coup and the false emperor Uhadula.
It has to be said that the current Emperor Hao, Uhagalou, is also a legendary figure.
Wuhajialou was first deprived of the throne by his uncle Wuhaduluo. He fell into the mortal world one day, but he did not give up and accept his fate. He secretly formed an alliance with the current emperor Gu Jue, and gained the support of several vassal kings in Haozhou, Jiaozhou and other places within a short year. He took over one third of the territory of Hao Kingdom. After that, he started a four-year confrontation between the North and the South with the false emperor Wuhaduluo.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
At that time, in order to recover the territory south of the Pearl River, Uhaduluo forced soldiers to join the army in Nanhao and imposed heavy taxes, which caused complaints from the people of Hao. Many people in the country could not bear the tyranny and rose up in rebellion. However, Uhagala adopted the method of forming alliances and united many small countries around it to form an alliance and strengthen itself step by step.
During the four years, Uhaduluo lost the support of the people and caused the Hao Kingdom to fall apart. However, Uhagala became famous and turned the tide step by step until he finally unified the Hao Kingdom two years ago. The false emperor Uhaduluo committed suicide by drinking the sword.
Two years ago in the spring, Uhajaro ascended the throne and took back the throne that rightfully belonged to him.
After five years of civil strife, Nanhao was devastated and only began to recuperate little by little in the past two years.
In the past two years, the exchanges between the north and the south have become increasingly frequent, and some news about Nan Hao has been brought in from time to time. Therefore, many people in Da Qi also know the story of the current Emperor Hao, and many people have exaggerated it and made it into a drama script.
The people were talking excitedly, and at the same time, a group of Hao people on the official road were getting closer.
The white-robed monk in the front is none other than Uhajalou.
Wuhejialou looked straight at the handsome young man riding a black horse at the city gate and smiled slightly. Even the white horse under his crotch seemed to feel his good mood and neighed twice.
Gu Jue was wearing a crimson leather suit and looked energetic. The sunlight cast a layer of light gold around his body, and he exuded an imposing and majestic aura.
The black horse Jueying under Gu Jue's crotch pranced around happily, as if it had recognized an old friend.
Wuhejialou's horse stopped several dozen feet away and looked into Gu Jue's eyes.
At this moment, all the people around were speechless and looked up at the emperors of the two countries.
"How are you?"
The two spoke almost at the same time, one cupped his hands, the other performed a one-handed Buddhist salute, and smiled at each other.
Wuhajialou has a refined temperament, holy and gentle like a gentle spring breeze; Gu Jue is handsome, noble and graceful, and cool like the clouds in the mountains.
Both of them are outstanding individuals. Their appearance, temperament and even way of doing things are very different. However, they both have a kind of transcendence that is incompatible with the mundane world, and they also possess the outstanding bearing of a king.
When the two of them smiled at each other like this, it was as if the sun and the moon were shining together, releasing an equal brilliance that made everyone else around them pale in comparison.
Then, Gu Jue extended his hand as a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Jia Lou, I have prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome you. We have met again after a long time, so let's reminisce about the past."
Wuhejialou agreed with a smile and rode his horse gracefully to Gu Jue's side. The two rode side by side and moved slowly towards the city gate.
Wuhejialou said: "I came to Daqi this time, in addition to congratulating Ling'ai on her full moon, I also want to discuss with you the exchange of learning between our two countries."
Wuhejialou and Gu Jue had long intended to recruit suitable young people from both countries to study in each other's country, both to learn from each other's strengths and to enhance exchanges between the two countries.
"No hurry, let's talk slowly." Gu Jue smiled slightly and asked casually, "How do you feel about revisiting the old place?"
"The scenery remains the same, and the prosperity is still there." Wuhejialou said as he looked around, at the surrounding environment and the people around him.
This time he came to Da Qi from Hao Kingdom, all the way up the Yangtze River to the capital. What he saw and heard made Wuhejialou and Qinglai and others who had come to Da Qi with him seven years ago deeply moved.
Da Qi has changed, very different from when they first went on a diplomatic mission to Da Qi seven years ago!
The once declining Da Qi has reversed its decline in the past few years and has become more prosperous. Not only are the businesses of the shops, stalls, etc. along the way more prosperous, and the population is more thriving, the prosperity of Da Qi is also reflected in the most ordinary people. Their clothing, complexion, and demeanor are all different from the past, and they are full of hope when talking about their lives.
Da Qi has been completely renewed!
Even Chiang Rai had to admit that compared to the current Dahao, Daqi is now superior, and Dahao still has a long way to go in the future.
Qinglai looked straight ahead at Gu Jue and Wuhejialou, and the past flashed back before his eyes, and he sighed sincerely: Da Qi and Da Hao were both reborn under the rule of these two very different emperors! Countdown
