Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 154
The wind blew between the two, entangling their hair. Gu Jiusi looked at Liu Yuru who was looking up at her in the dim light, he suddenly couldn’t restrain himself, he suddenly threw the lamp, held the man’s face, and kissed deeply.
He knew what Liu Yuru meant.
Nezha used to be arrogant in those days, but in the end he still became a minion in the heaven; the Great Sage Equalling Heaven also laughed and cursed at Yunxiao, but in the end he became the Buddha of the Fighting Victory 500 years later.
Have a **** position, but lost his life and the spirit of his own heart. From being oppressed to being oppressed, everyone in this world seems to be reincarnated.
It is a pity that Liu Yuru is neither Nezha nor the Great Sage, but Gu Jiusi.
The next Wang Siyuan.
Today he gave up Shen Ming for his future, but he doesn’t know what he will give up tomorrow.
Boil the frog in warm water, and walk forward step by step with the head down. After a long time, I forget where I was going.
After Liu Yuru said this, he seemed to suddenly see a bright light in the dark night, and suddenly grabbed the life-saving straw in a desperate situation.
He hugged Liu Yuru stubbornly, then let go, then put on the cape that Liu Yuru put on him, turned around, and said with Liu Yuru: “You go back first, I want to enter the palace again One trip.”
Liu Yuru watched him rush towards the palace gate, couldn’t help laughing, and said loudly, “Come back by yourself.”
Gu Jiusi trotted and waved his hand, but replied without looking back: “Got it.”
Gu Jiusi ran all the way back to the palace, and asked to see Fan Xuan.
Fan Xuan was a little surprised that he came back, but he also met him, Gu Jiusi saw Fan Xuan, and immediately knelt down, Fan Xuan looked at Gu Jiusi and was a little surprised: “What do you mean? ?”
“Your Majesty, the case of Shen Ming, the minister cannot try.”
Fan Xuan frowned, Gu Jiusi knelt on the ground, and continued: “Your Majesty cherishes Weichen, I hope that Weichen will not be criticized, but what matters in life is what kind of person you are, not Others say what kind of person I am. Shen Ming is Wei Chen’s brother, and what he did was indeed taught by Wei Chen, and Wei Chen didn’t need to bear the infamy with him. How could he be qualified to judge him? In order to protect his own reputation, Da Yixian tried him personally, that would be unjust; if it was not righteous to personally try him, even if he was judged justly according to the law, because of my relationship with him, it would still be pointing out, so I ask Your Majesty to think twice and change One person presides over the case.”
“Master Gu,” Fan Xuan’s tone was a little unpleasant, “Have you thought about it?”
“Your Majesty’s meaning, the minister understands,” Gu Jiusi looked calm, “but your Majesty values the minister, isn’t it the integrity of the minister? If the minister is unjust to the friend today, how can the majesty dare Entrust the prince to Wei Chen?”
Fan Xuan did not speak. After a long time, Fan Xuan finally said: “So, you decided not to try Shen Ming’s case?”
“No trial.”
“What if I let someone try him for a death sentence?”
“According to the law, although Lord Shen is guilty, he has also made great achievements. Even if he is guilty of living, it should not be a capital crime.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“Avenge him.”
“You want to have people avenge the case that I let people handle?!”
“Your Majesty is a gentleman.”
After Gu Jiusi’s praise, there was a long silence in the room.
Gu Jiusi knelt quietly on the ground. After a long time, Fan Xuan’s helpless voice came: “Gu Jiusi, do you know that I want to support you as prime minister.”
“We are grateful to Your Majesty for your love.”
“In the future, Lord Zhou will be in charge of troops and horses, and you will be in charge of the world. I have too many expectations for you.”
“This minister has betrayed His Majesty’s trust.”
“You know what you gave up?”
“I know,” Gu Jiusi’s voice was sonorous and powerful, “I don’t regret it.”
“Why?” Fan Xuan seemed a little irritable, Gu Jiusi raised his head, looked at Fan Xuan, and said seriously, “I think that being a man is more important than being an official.”
Fan Xuan stopped talking, he stared at Gu Jiusi.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and finally said: “You go down.”
Gu Jiusi knew that there was a result, he kowtowed, stood up, and exited the palace.
He left the imperial study and went home. He seemed very happy. When he got home, he saw Liu Yuru settle accounts in the house. a circle.
Liu Yuru screamed out in shock, and hurriedly told him to put herself down, Gu Jiusi put her in her place, and said happily, “Let’s see Shen Ming tomorrow?”
“Okay.”
Liu Yuru laughed and said gently, “What did you say to Your Majesty when you entered the palace?”
“I told His Majesty that I quit my job and I don’t want to judge Shen Ming.”
Gu Jiusi said, and then told Liu Yuru about her and Fan Xuan, Liu Yuru listened quietly, Gu Jiusi hugged her, and said slowly: “I was from the palace at that time. I actually don’t know what to do when I came out. After being in the officialdom for a long time, I didn’t consciously pick up the temper in the officialdom. I weighed the pros and cons and became selfish. I thought so much at the time that I even forgot how I got here.”
“But it’s okay,” Gu Jiusi leaned against Liu Yuru, closed his eyes, and said with peace of mind, “I feel like I have a way when you are here.”
Liu Yuru listened, smiled softly, she stroked Gu Jiusi’s hair, thought about it, and slowly said: “But it’s strange, do you think Your Majesty is in a hurry?”
“Huh?”
“Let you repair the Yellow River, let you come back to try the case, and let you preside over Qiu Wei, a bit…” Liu Yuru frowned, Gu Jiusi smiled, and said directly: “It’s a little too much. .”
Liu Yuru nodded, Gu Jiusi leaned against him, closed his eyes, and said calmly: “Actually, it’s not difficult to understand. He needs someone who can balance Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou doesn’t like Fan Yu, He is also powerful, and His Majesty is afraid that they will argue. And the Prime Minister, Lord Zhang and Lord Zhou, has an old relationship and is a tumbler. He will not deliberately protect the Prince. If there is a conflict between Lord Zhou and the Prince in the future, Prime Minister Zhang will probably watch the fire from the other side. Therefore, Your Majesty A clear princeling is needed. This princeling cannot protect the prince too much, just like Luo Zishang, which will intensify the contradiction between Lord Zhou and the prince, but it cannot favor Zhou Gaolang, just like they are veteran ministers, they have to be capable and also Not the kind of ability like Li Yuchang Ye Shian’s, but the ability to reconcile everyone…”
Gu Jiusi said, slowly opening his eyes: “After thinking about it, it’s only me.”
“Isn’t he afraid that you have a good relationship with Zhou Ye and become Lord Zhou’s person in the future?” Liu Yuru was a little strange, Gu Jiusi laughed: “Isn’t it the relationship between me and Lord Zhou that he values? If I have nothing to do with Lord Zhou, how can I be the middleman? Your Majesty knows that I have experienced what happened in Yangzhou. Waiting for the assistant government with me, even if your majesty leaves, this big summer will continue safely. Although I don’t like Fan Yu, I will try my best to protect him, because by protecting him, the world will be safe. “
Liu Yuru was silent, she hesitated: “But what if he is disqualified?”
Gu Jiusi did not speak. After a while, he slowly said: “If the world is doomed to be in chaos, then it is natural to choose the bright master.”
“Your Majesty can’t think of it?” Liu Yuru couldn’t quite understand these bends, “Don’t he know that once the prince loses his sense, you won’t do this and the old things again?”
Gu Jiusi sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes: “Actually, His Majesty also has a hard choice. Fan Yu is his only son. Although he has an arrogant temper now, he has not committed any major crimes. Wrong, even an ordinary emperor would not abolish the crown prince for this reason, not to mention that the crown prince is now His Majesty’s only heir. If he is abolished, who will be established? A group of people supports Fan Yu’s ascension to the throne, unless Fan Yu is dead, it will be difficult for Da Xia.”
“But His Majesty also thinks long-term. The prince’s current temperament, when he ascends the throne, is too uncontrollable. No one can tell what he will do or not. If he really commits a big crime Wrong, with His Majesty’s current layout…”
“I’m afraid there is no way for the prince.”
A court, there is no complete princeling party, but the most suitable people are arranged in each position. In front of the hall, all inspected Zhou Gaolang, Prime Minister Zhang Jue, Minister of Household Gu Jiusi, Minister of Industry Liao Yanli, Minister of Punishment Li Yuchang…
He has done his best for this country, but he has always been selfish and hoped that his only son will be well. So he hopes that Gu Jiusi is not just a minister of the household, he also hopes that Gu Jiusi can gain a firm foothold and become a person who can balance with Zhou Gaolang.
Zhou Gaolang and Fan Yu did not deal with each other. Zhou Gaolang watched Fan Yu grow up. He always thought that Fan Yu was a child, but he didn’t think much of him. They are very opposed to the establishment of the prince. Fan Yu hates Zhou Gaolang to the core. Zhou Gaolang has a high position. Xia was turbulent again.
So this court needs a Gu Jiusi. He is on good terms with the Zhou family, can persuade Zhou Gaolang, and can coax Fan Yu, so that Fan Yu thinks that he has a chess that balances Zhou Gaolang, so that he will not go to a desperate situation. During this process, Fan Yu grew up slowly, and maybe one day, she could understand her father’s painstaking efforts.
Liu Yuru and Gu Jiusi talked about these twists and turns, Liu Yuru couldn’t help sighing: “This heavenly family is not easy, if your majesty is not your majesty, you don’t have to think so much.”
Speaking, Liu Yuru lowered her voice and whispered: “It’s just that you’re in such a hurry, Your Majesty is afraid…”
The words were not spoken, but Gu Jiusi already understood. Gu Jiusi sighed, shook his head, and said nothing.
In the early morning of the second day, Gu Jiusi went out to do some work, and asked Liu Yuru to see Shen Ming in the afternoon. Liu Yuru went to Shenxianxiang early in the morning and watched Shenxianxiang’s current business status with Ye Yun. After eating, Gu Jiusi sent someone to pick up Liu Yuru, Ye Yun couldn’t help but say: “It’s still so early, Master Gu is picking you up. to what?”
“Go and see Shen Ming,” Liu Yuru smiled and continued, “Are you going together?”
Ye Yun heard Shen Ming’s name and sighed: “Of course I want to go.”
Liu Yuru nodded, she led Ye Yun into the carriage, and sat on the carriage, Liu Yuru remembered Shen Ming’s earth-shattering cry before leaving Dongdu, she couldn’t help but pursed her lips and laughed, secretly looking at it Ye Yun. Seeing her eyes, Ye Yun said uncomfortably, “What kind of eyes do you have?”
“The day I left Dongdu, Lord Shen cried all day.”
When Ye Yun heard this, she knew what Liu Yuru was going to ask, and she coughed lightly: “He’s childish.”
“It’s quite similar to you in the past.”
Liu Yuru said something lightly, she thought about it, put her elbow on the small table, looked at Ye Yun and said, “What do you think? You are not too young, your uncle doesn’t care about you marriage?”
, I will marry whoever the family asks me to marry, and if my marriage can bring some happiness to others, it will be good.”
“You…” Liu Yuru frowned, Ye Yun smiled, “I’m not afraid of your jokes, the family used to show me Mr. Jiang. I also have some thoughts in my heart. of.”
Speaking, Ye Yun seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her head and said, “I think that if I marry, I will be considered relatives with you, and will take care of each other in the future. Come to our Ye family, Gu family, Jiang family. The family is really connected, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the family. It is decent to marry Mr. Jiang in the third time, and it is not sorry for the lintel. I just didn’t expect that there was someone in Mr. Jiang’s heart…”
Ye Yun said, sighed, and turned her head to look out the window: “I also figured it out later, I’m still young, and there are still many opportunities. Let’s take a look at the future. “
“Let’s talk about it,” Liu Yuru smiled, “Just don’t talk about Shen Ming.”
Ye Yun fell silent, she didn’t speak, and after a long time, she said: “He saved me, was good to me, loved me, I regard him as a friend. He said he likes me, I’m afraid to spoil me I am afraid of ruining his people.”
“You said it strangely.” Liu Yuru was a little puzzled, “I asked you to marry Uncle Jiang, don’t you think it was a waste, but asked you to respond to Shen Ming, are you afraid of ruining Shen Ming?”
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled bitterly: “You don’t understand.”
Ye Yun turned her head and whispered, “Shen Ming, he is very clean.”
Hearing this, Liu Yuru understood.
The current Ye Yun, like herself back then, always felt unworthy of Gu Jiusi’s feelings. Because she has a heavy mind, and Gu Jiusi’s feelings are the same as today’s Shen Ming, very clean.
She suddenly felt so much sympathy, but the strange thing was that back then, she felt that she was not worthy of Gu Jiusi, but now she has no such thoughts. Seeing her dazed, Ye Yun didn’t speak. After a while, Liu Yuru said slowly, “Just wait.”
“What are you waiting for?” Ye Yun was a little puzzled, but Liu Yuru laughed, “Wait, maybe you will know that for a person, being truly loved by a person, will How amazing.”
It will heal all your imperfections and make you reborn.
“Maybe.”
Ye Yun sighed, the two said, and went to the prison, after getting off the carriage, they saw Gu Jiusi and Ye Shian waiting for them at the door, Gu Jiusi saw Liu Yuru come out, hurriedly stepped forward, helped After Liu Yuru walked down, Ye Yun saw Ye Shian and greeted Ye Shian, Ye Shian said clearly: “Look at Shen Ming?”
Ye Yun responded, Ye Shian wanted to say something, but in the end she just frowned and said nothing.
The four entered the Heavenly Prison together, and before they entered, they heard Shen Ming’s voice.
He was knocking on the bowl inside, singing songs when he had nothing to do.
He doesn’t have much culture either, he sings all the songs in the cottage, and he sings a bit of a stockade in a living prison. It seems that two bandits will jump out anytime, anywhere, waving big knives and shouting : “I opened this mountain…”
The four people walked in, Shen Ming heard the voice, turned his back to the cell door, and said boredly: “Brother Shi’an, I want to eat peaches, bring some peaches in next time.”
“Okay.” Gu Jiusi opened his mouth.
Hearing Gu Jiusi’s voice, Shen Ming’s back suddenly froze, and then he turned back suddenly. After seeing Gu Jiusi, he quickly got up and said happily, “Ninth brother!”
Gu Jiusi sneered, looked at Shen Ming, and sneered: “You still know I’m your brother?”
“Brother,” Shen Ming quickly flattered, “You are my own brother. Why are you here? The matter is settled? Have the Wang family been cut off? Is Master Qin okay? What’s wrong with Xingyang? ?you…”
“You still have the face to ask so many questions,” Gu Jiusi interrupted him with a cold face, “Why don’t you reflect on what you have done?”
“I was wrong,” Shen Ming said quickly, “I won’t dare again next time.”
“Is there a next time?” Gu Jiusi looked at Shen Ming seriously and said seriously, “You really don’t have a next time.”
These words made Shen Ming stunned for a while, Ye Shian and Ye Yun were shocked when they heard this, Ye Shian immediately said: “Your Majesty…”
“Your Majesty asked me to preside over this case.” Gu Jiusi looked at Shen Ming, “The Xingyang case involves many officials in the Eastern Capital, and Your Majesty wants me to try the case. But because of your relationship, I am involved in it. , in order to clear the suspicion that I ordered you to kill Wang Siyuan, I have to do something, and then I can go to trial, make merit, and let His Majesty give me a chance to be promoted.”
“This is the test that His Majesty gave me.” Gu Jiusi didn’t joke at all, “Shen Ming, what should I do?”
“Jiusi…” Ye Shian spoke in a hurry, Gu Jiusi shouted angrily, “Let him speak!”
Shen Ming did not speak, and after a while, he calmly said: “Ninth brother is someone who wants to do great things, and he has accepted His Majesty’s test, and the ninth brother will preside over this case, and he will be able to rise steadily. Maybe it is the youngest prime minister in our Daxia. At that time, Brother Ninth will have to do more for the people as he does now.”
“I asked you what should I do.” Gu Jiusi didn’t let him escape, Shen Ming sighed: “Of course there is a heavy sentence. The most serious sentence in the law is to be sentenced. Nine Brother, don’t worry, I’ve read “The Great Law of Summer”. In my situation, the most important thing is the three tribes. I don’t have three tribes to barbarians, so you can judge like this, and no one dares to say that you ordered it. I am.”
“Do you think I dare not judge?”
Gu Jiusi was a little angry, Shen Ming looked at Gu Jiusi, his expression was clear: “Ninth brother, I know you are not feeling well. If possible, I can take care of myself, no It’s embarrassing for you. But if I finish it myself, it will be suicide in fear of crime, and your suspicion will be cleared. “
“I didn’t do it impulsive,” he quietly looked at Gu Jiusi, “From the time I did that, I made a plan, I won’t affect you, if you let me I’m tired, I might as well die on the road and not come back.”
Gu Jiusi stopped talking, he looked at Shen Ming in front of him, and after a while, he said to the guard next to him, “Open the door.”
The jailer was the one he arranged. The jailer opened the door and Gu Jiusi said, “Go to the door and I’ll say a few words in private.”
The jailer hesitated for a moment, but thinking about Gu Jiusi’s identity, he went out and waited at the door.
The jailer only went out for a while when he heard Shen Ming’s howling from inside.
“You brain! You brain!”
Gu Jiusi entered the cell and punched and kicked Shen Ming, Shen Ming howled and fled around the prison, Ye Shian, Ye Yun and Liu Yuru hurried in to stop Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi beat and scolded: ” You might as well be ignorant! You might as well not think about anything! Be your uncle’s hero! I’ll kill you today, forget it!”
“Does the Wang family deserve your life for something ignorant?!”
Gu Jiusi was stopped by three other people, but he still chased Shen Ming to fight. Ye Shian next to him repeatedly discouraged: “You can scold, don’t do it, don’t do it.”
Liu Yuru also hurriedly said: “Calm down, if you want to fight, go back and fight, it’s not good to fight here.”
Ye Yun heard Liu Yuru’s words and said, “He was stabbed several times when he came back. Now that he has just been raised, he will really be killed.”
Hearing these words, Gu Jiusi was also tired, he slowed his movements, sat on the bed, panting heavily: “Shen Ming, let me tell you, I really owe it in my last life. you.”
“Ninth Brother, I really knew I was wrong.”
Shen Ming held his head, squatted on one side, and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Gu Jiu thought for a while. He didn’t know why, but he suddenly realized the feeling that Gu Langhua had beaten him.
He really wanted to pick up a wooden stick to kill Shen Ming, even if he couldn’t kill him, maybe it would be more comfortable to break the stick.
Seeing that Gu Jiusi was silent, Shen Ming said in a low voice, “Brother Jiu, don’t be embarrassed.”
“I am embarrassing your uncle!”
Gu Jiusi scolded, and Ye Shian understood: “So this case, you don’t plan to try it?”
“No trial.”
Gu Jiusi turned his head and said, “What is the trial? I will go back to repair the Yellow River! I will stay in the Yellow River and not come back. I will stay with the Yellow River every day and it will last forever. After the Yangtze River and Huaihai Sea are repaired, I won’t go back to the East Capital in my life, I’ll forget about repairing the river all my life!”
Ye Yun was listening next to her, she couldn’t help laughing, Gu Jiusi gave her a cold look, Ye Yun hurriedly took a step back and hid behind Ye Shian.
Liu Yuru listened to Gu Jiusi’s angry words, restrained her smile, coughed lightly, and said with Shen Ming, “You plan to take care of everything yourself, but how could your ninth brother let you Carry it alone? Shen Ming, when you do things in the future, you have to know that people around you are thinking about you, and it is impossible to let you go. .”
“You are not a mountain bandit who used to feed the whole family alone on the mountain,” Liu Yuru said with a bit of helplessness, “Since you have come to Gu’s house, you have a home.”
Shen Ming did not speak, he squatted on one side, lowered his head, wrapped his arms around himself, and remained silent for a long time.
Ye Yun walked up to Shen Ming’s side, kicked him lightly, and whispered, “Speak, mute?”
“I see, sister-in-law.”
Shen Ming finally spoke, hoarsely, but repeated it again: “I really know, Ninth brother, sister-in-law.”
He knows that he is not alone, he has a home.
When Gu Jiusi heard this, he no longer wanted to look for Shen Ming, he sat on the bed, pursed his lips, and finally said: “You have been recovering well recently, as long as I don’t try this case, Your Majesty has no reason to convict you of a serious crime. He should send Li Yuchang to preside over this case, and he knows your situation. I guess, you ended up either in exile or in exile.”
“Hmm.” Shen Ming lowered his head and said nothing. Gu Jiusi continued: “I will help you find a way, try to enlist the army to go to Youzhou, and when you reach Brother Zhou’s territory, you can do things with Brother Zhou carefully. In the future, don’t always think about using brute force impulsively, and read more books. I don’t like to read books that are written and written, and I should read more about the art of war.”
“Good.”
Shen Ming no longer had the energy he used to live, and he said yes to everything, and everything was good, so Gu Jiusi couldn’t scold him anymore.
After a few people chatted for a while, Gu Jiusi walked out of the door, and when he arrived at the door, he said with Ye Shian: “Bring some books on the art of war from your house, throw them to him, don’t leave it in the prison. Living like old age, learning nothing.”
Gu Jiusi was silent for a moment, and after a long time, he said, “Your Majesty wanted me to be the chief examiner of this scientific examination.”
Ye Shian was stunned for a while, and after a while, he finally sighed and said, “Jiusi.”
Gu Jiusi turned to look at him, Ye Shian smiled: “May you and my brothers live forever.”
“Huh?” Gu Jiusi didn’t understand, Ye Shian seemed a little embarrassed, but still said, “Don’t worry, if I were you, I would do the same.”
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi also laughed.
He patted Ye Shian on the shoulder and could only say: “I really owe him in my last life, I think raising a son is enough.”
Speaking, he was a little sad: “Really,” he sighed with Ye Shian, “I feel that I have raised a rebellious son at a young age. My father’s mood back then, I really It was already felt in advance.”
“What’s your mood?”
Liu Yuru interjected with a smile, Gu Jiusi sighed: “I just want to kill him, I really want to kill him.”
