Gu Yuan still remembered that seven years ago, Mrs. Gu sent him to the academy, hoping that he would study in the imperial examinations to gain fame, and many people told him that his grandmother was doing it for his own good.

But Gu Yuan will never forget that his father once told him to learn how to ride and shoot well, so that they will go into battle as a father and son soldier.

When his father was thirteen years old, he abandoned his identity as the prince of Dingyuan Hou and entered the army incognito. He rose step by step from a small soldier to the youngest commander of the guard.

He also entered the army early, wanting to follow in his father's footsteps, and wanted to show his family that he could stand out on his own.

Gu Yanfei looked at his clear side face, his eyes were dark and deep.

In fact, she knew more about her second uncle's thoughts than Gu Yuan at the moment.

In her previous life, Gu Jian had always looked down upon the long house, except for Gu Yunxie who was under the long house's name at that time.

Gu Jian has been fearful and wary of Gu Yuan.

In his previous life, Gu Yuan was not transferred to the Shenji Camp. He would make a great contribution at the end of the next year. He could have been promoted smoothly, but Gu Jian planned to break one of his legs... completely blocking Gu Yuan's future!

In this life, because she saved Wei Guogong, Gu Yuan's future also changed by accident.

But even if Gu Yuan was transferred to the Shenji Camp, it was only a mere five-rank thousand households, and it should not hinder Gu Jian. Why did Gu Jian act in such a hurry?

Just thinking about it, Gu Yanfei felt sorry for his elder brother, raised his hand to brush off a fallen leaf on his shoulder, and took advantage of the situation to gently stroke his shoulder.

Gu Yuan turned his head to look at her, the moment his gaze met her pupils, it was as soft as spring water.

"Sister, don't worry, I will protect you!" Gu Yuan raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of Gu Yanfei's hair, his heart became softer.

He is the eldest brother, so he should protect his sister from wind and rain, and protect her well!

"Yeah." Gu Yanfei smiled at him brilliantly, "I will protect elder brother too."

The red plum trees around trembled in the slightly drunken wind at dusk, but they were overshadowed by the bright young girl.

Gu Yuan was pleased by his younger sister's words, his smile deepened, and he fondled her hair again.

The two brothers and sisters walked forward while talking, leaving Mingyi Courtyard behind.

Gu Yuan said again with a smile on his face: "Sister, I've already been transferred to the capital. When I find an opportunity, let's separate, okay?"

Separating the family is not as simple as talking about it. In fact, as early as Gu Yuan knew about the real and fake daughters, he was completely disappointed with Mrs. Gu, and had the idea of ​​​​separating the family and living alone.

But he also knew that Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian would not agree easily, and neither would the clan.

Since the family is to be separated, the long house must occupy the word "reasonable" and must be divided beautifully.

Moreover, he had to think about his sister.

Now that he has been transferred back to the capital, he doesn't have to stay in the army all year round, and he has the spare energy to take care of his sister.

"Okay." Gu Yanfei smiled and nodded.

A separation is necessary, but not now.

Most of the demons in her previous life came from the Gu family, from Gu Yunxie, so of course she couldn't just leave like this.

The master said that the biggest enemy of a monk is not the world, not others, but himself. On the way of cultivation, a monk has been fighting against himself all his life. If his concentration is a little weak and his Taoist heart recedes, he will be dominated by demons.

Evading, suppressing, forgetting, or taking aggressive killings will not help the demon in any way.

What she has to do is to sail against the current in the storm, ride the wind and waves, and stabilize the heart of the helm.

While talking, the brothers and sisters came to the Waiyi Gate.

Juan Bi and Gu Yuan's servant, Wu Tong, have already prepared their horses, and the red horse Hong Yu and Gu Yuan's black horse seem to know that they can go out, and they are all eager to try.

The two brothers and sisters went out happily, went to Fengyun Restaurant for dinner, and walked happily for half a circle before returning home.

However, as soon as he arrived outside the Hou's mansion, he saw Wutong, the little servant, huddled in the cold wind, waiting anxiously outside the corner gate.

"Young Master!" Seeing that the brothers and sisters finally came back, Wu Tong hurried over and said anxiously to Gu Yuan, "Master Hou, he has written a scripture to impeach you, Young Master..."

Gu Yuan didn't say a word, but held the rein tightly, his deep black phoenix eyes became darker and darker little by little, and the black horse on his crotch was breathing white gas from its mouth and nose, and neighing as it paced its hooves.

The last gleam of the setting sun fell, and the sky was as dark as the deep sea.

Gu Jian did hand over the booklet to the palace, and the booklet was sent to the emperor's imperial court that day, and it also reached Chu Yi's hands.

Lanterns were lit in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the candlelight was softly shining down, shining brightly, as bright as day.

"First day, what do you think?"

The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow straight gown embroidered with a golden dragon pattern, looked up at the young man in white sitting on the other side of the coffee table, and then turned to look at the small red clay stove next to him. There is a slight sound of boiling water.

When the water boiled, the emperor skillfully began to scald the cup, wash the tea, brew, seal the pot, and divide the cups... a whole set of tea-making movements was smooth and elegant.

The colorful parrots on the brass bird stand screamed "chirp", creating a warm and leisurely atmosphere.

Chu Yi sat upright on a red sandalwood grand master's chair, pinched the booklet in his right hand, and browsed ten lines at a glance.

The main text of the book is elegant and neat, but the handwriting becomes distorted when it reaches the inscription. It is obvious that the text and inscription were written by two people.

Next to the inscription, there is a big red seal representing Marquis Dingyuan, which is as red as blood.

This excerpt was written by Mrs. Gu, and stated in Gu Jian's tone. It began with an impassioned expression of loyalty to the Dajing Dynasty and the emperor, and then entered the main topic, showing that Gu Yuan was the sinful minister Gu Ce. When Gu Ce surrendered to the enemy and fell into the country's embarrassment, Enze, the first emperor, did not pursue Gu Ce's crime, but the Gu family did not dare to forget that although Gu Ce's son had a bit of martial power, he was brave and foolish, and he was stubborn. The important task of camping thousands of households is like this.

There was a lot written in the brochure, most of which were hypocritical nonsense, summed up in one sentence, that is, their mother and son felt that Gu Yuande was unworthy and promoted too fast, and wanted to decline on his behalf.

"Gu Yuan?" Chu Yi's indifferent eyes fell on the word "Gu Yuan" on the booklet, seemingly thoughtful.

Chu Yi didn't recognize Gu Yuan.

But from this scripture, it can be seen that Gu Yuan is the son of Gu Ce, the marquis of Xian Ding Yuan.

And Gu Yanfei is Gu Ce's daughter, that is to say, they are brothers and sisters.

"Gu Yuan!" The parrot imitated its tone brightly, the voice was so loud that the air seemed to shake.

Chu Yi looked at the fat parrot flapping its wings on the bird stand and smiled. His narrow eyes shone brightly in the candlelight, and his smile was pleasant and soft, yet meaningful.

At this time, the emperor also made tea, and happened to see this scene in his eyes.

It was rare to see his son showing such an expression. The emperor raised his frost-stained eyebrows, picked up one of the cups of tea, blew on the foam floating on the tea soup, took another sip, and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.

Because his son likes tea with a stronger tea flavor, he added five more tea leaves, which are just right now.

"Father, where did Gu Yuan originally work?" Gu Yuan casually put the booklet on the coffee table, and gently tickled the fluffy chin of the parrot twice with his slender index finger. The parrot is very good at acting like a baby. Rubbing Gu Yuan's fingers obediently.

Gu Yuan was just a small sixth-rank military officer, and he couldn't catch the emperor's eyes at all, and the emperor didn't know much about it either.

The eunuch who was waiting next to him was always good at observing the Sacred Heart, so he immediately said with a smile on his face, "Your Highness, Gu Yuan was originally the Chief Sixth Grade Thousand Chief of the Xishan Jiuxiao Camp."

After a pause, the eunuch continued to explain: "Gu Yuan's promotion to the Shenji Camp this time is the intention of Wei Guogong. When Gu Yuan went to the coast with the Jiuxiao Camp to suppress the Japanese the year before last, the bandit leader led the remaining 30% of the gangsters to escape their shells with golden cicadas. The absconding was spotted by Gu Yuanrui, and Gu Yuan led his men to wait for the rabbits on the boat, and killed them all in one fell swoop, making the first contribution..."

Before the eunuch sent this scripture to Dongnuan Pavilion, he had already investigated the ins and outs of the matter clearly, just to respond to the emperor's possible inquiries.

Speaking of this, the chief eunuch's eyes wandered for a while, it is not good to go on to explain why Gu Yuan was not rewarded for his meritorious service the year before, after all, this matter involved the late emperor, even the emperor could not criticize the late emperor.

After the chief eunuch finished speaking, the East Nuan Pavilion fell silent.

Only there was a slight crackling sound from the gauze lamp next to it, and a vague smell of candle oil wafted out, and was immediately overwhelmed by the elegant scent of incense in the air.

The emperor handed another cup of tea just brewed to Chu Yi. Chu Yi took the tea, and the sweet and mellow tea fragrance permeated his nose. It was his favorite Biluochun.

Chu Yi smelled the rich tea fragrance, and said sharply: "Your title."

"Inheritance of the title, if the virtue is not worthy, there will be troubles in the future."

Chu Yi's tone was downplaying, and he didn't mention his name, but he demoted Gu Jian to the dust with just one sentence.

Gu Jian keeps saying that Gu Yuan is "not worthy of virtue", but in fact the person who is really "unworthy of virtue" is himself.

The old lady at the side listened, lowered her head silently, and understood clearly.

If the person who accepts the title is not worthy of virtue, he will feel guilty and afraid in that position, always worrying that someone will come to snatch his title, which will lead to suspicion and even unnecessary attacks, causing internal and external restlessness.

While twirling his beard, the emperor nodded to Chu Yi in deep approval, smiling kindly.

He was smart in the first grade of junior high school, and Zhiwei saw him, even though he had never met Gu Jian, he could see through this book alone.

Gu Jian is indeed not as good as Gu Ce.

It should be said that the brothers of the Gu family can't be compared at all, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

In the past, he only thought that Gu Jian was mediocre and incompetent, but now it seems that he has to add a "no tolerance".

"It was a pity for Gu Ce back then." Thinking of the past eight years ago, the emperor also felt a little emotional, with complicated emotions showing in his warm eyes.

When his eyes fell on Chu Yi, his sadness was swept away, and his whole body became radiant again. Fortunately, his first day of junior high school came back safely!

After Chu Yi drank a few sips of tea, he put down the teacup, looked at the emperor fixedly, and asked, "What does the emperor think about Gu Ce's surrender to the enemy?"

"..." The emperor was slightly taken aback, his lips were straightened, and his originally leisurely and lazy figure tensed up in an instant.
