After a few days on the way back to Beijing, Gu Cheng could be regarded as completely stabilizing his emotions.Gu Cheng didn't have any feelings about this situation, he didn't want to completely kill the 'Gu Cheng' in this life, so as not to affect his various ideas.This situation is the first time for Gu Cheng, but it should also be the last.Originally, he occupied other people's bodies, and he could have the opportunity to live again, and some causes and effects naturally had to be borne by himself.And over there, after Li Xiaozhun saw that Gu Cheng's mood had stabilized, he dared to talk to Gu Cheng, and at the same time told him some things that he needed to pay attention to as the commander of the Eastern Regions.In fact, it was not a very good time for Gu Cheng to take over the position of the commander of the Eastern Regions during this time period, because the atmosphere in the capital was very tense and busy now.In three months, it will be the ancestor worship ceremony every four years, and the ceremony is very important, and there is no room for a half-point difference, so during this period of time, the capital is all rumored, and the four domain commanders of the Jingye Division are in charge of the entire capital, so this time is also the busiest time.Gu Cheng's new official took office to put on such a thing, which can be said to be a great challenge.There is also a turbulence in the capital before the ancestor worship ceremony, and the open and secret battles between several princes and various forces are also continuous, including the dispute over the position of the ancestor worship ceremony to read the sacrifice.There is a process during the ancestor worship ceremony of the Great Qian, which requires the prince to read the sacrifice to the ancestors as a descendant, in order to show that the current Great Qianguo is peaceful and peaceful, the mountains and rivers are still there, the wind and rain are smooth, etc., which means that the ancestors will see that they have guarded the country and not embarrassed the ancestors.Usually the person who reads the sacrificial text is the crown prince, even if the current emperor does not like the prince, but according to the rules, he must let him come.But who would have thought that this time the prince seemed to have done something and angered the current emperor, so as early as a month ago, the emperor ordered that the candidate for the reading of the sacrifice at this ancestor worship ceremony should be changed.As soon as such a face-revealing thing came out, it immediately attracted the competition of many princes, but this position is very particular, and the age of the prince, the birth date and even the birth date of the mother concubine must meet the requirements, so in the end, there are only three people who meet the requirements.These three people are the second prince Li Xiaoming, the third prince Li Xiaoxuan and the fourth prince Li Xiaowu.Among them, the most fierce competition is Li Xiaoming and Li Xiaowu, these two have always been mortal rivals, and they have fought countless times.As for the strength of the third prince Li Xiaoxuan, although his mother is also from a noble background, she is similar to Gu Cheng's Zhongyong Marquis, a declining noble, with only one background, no power, and nothing to help him.So Li Xiaoxuan has been very close to the people of Jianghu since he was a child, and even once worshipped a real person in Baiyunguan as a teacher.But after all, the rivers and lakes are only rivers and lakes, and the influence on the court is weak, and he feels that he can't compete with those two, and he has already recognized the position of the substitute for the sacrificial text.This so-called substitute means that when the prince recites the memorial text, he stands behind the prince as a substitute.Because it is not allowed to be interrupted when reciting the sacrificial text, once it is stuck, it must be re-read by another prince.Of course, this kind of thing does not exist, and on such a major and serious occasion, no prince or prince will let himself be interrupted, and they are eager to memorize the sacrificial text backwards.Therefore, this position basically does not have the opportunity to recite the sacrificial text, but because it stands behind the prince who recites the sacrificial text, as well as the emperor's side, it is also an extremely face-revealing position, and it is also an opportunity to shine in the current state where the heir of Daqian is not yet clear.Along the way, Li Xiaozhun told Gu Cheng a lot of secrets about the current royal family struggle within Daqian, he is a prince, and he naturally knows these things well.Gu Cheng's position as the commander of the Eastern Regions can be regarded as a low authority, directly controlling a quarter of the territory of the capital, second only to the pacification envoys, and even more majestic than the pacification envoys of some remote and barren counties.But at the same time, this position is also very troublesome, not only to face all kinds of troublesome scenes when the princes from all walks of life are vying for power, but also the rich families in their own jurisdiction, the princes and nobles, the princes and ministers, etc., and it will feel more tricky when facing them.Gu Cheng and Li Xiaozhun talked all the way, but the speed was not slow, and they came to the capital quickly, and it only took a month to arrive.Looking at the dark and huge city wall of the Great Qianjing Capital, Gu Cheng took a deep breath.When he was forced to leave the capital, he said that he would come back.Now that he has finally returned after more than two years, and he is still back with the position of the commander of the Eastern Regions of the Jingye Division, but at this time, there is no surging excitement in his heart.With a sigh of relief, Gu Cheng said, "Let's go into the city." ”Li Xiaozhun nodded and said, "I'll go and report the matter to the fourth brother first, and then I'll come to you." ”Dismount and enter the city, the gate of the capital is very huge, and there is a black dragon engraved on both sides of the city gate, like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing pedestrians coming and going.Gu Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the gate of the city, he came to the capital at this time, it was not certain who would swallow whom.………… In the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, there is a middle-aged man with a square appearance, elegant and handsome sitting on the main seat of the lobby, he is Gu Cheng's second uncle Gu Yuanzhong, who was a general in Western Xinjiang before, and now he is transferred back to the capital Praetorian Guard as a military officer.The genes of the Gu family are quite good, whether it is Gu Cheng or his younger brother Gu Zheng, they are good-looking, and his second uncle is the same.At this time, Gu Yuanzhong frowned at the Zhang family and said, "I heard that you blocked all the letters from your mother to Gu Cheng?"
If you are known by outsiders like this, they will inevitably point fingers at my Gu family, saying that I, the second uncle, have gone too far, and I won't even let my grandmother want to see her grandson before she dies. ”Zhang's eyebrows were cold, and he said sharply: "Pointing fingers?
Is it important to point out or to give a title to the testimonial?
I didn't expect that Gu Cheng to leave the Hou Mansion was to let the tiger return to the mountain, and now he has a foundation in the Jingye Division, in case he comes back and reports to the imperial court to prepare to inherit the title, can you stop it?
”Gu Yuanzhong took a sip of tea and snorted lightly: "Woman's opinion!
To put it mildly, the title of our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion has been completely useless after three generations, it is just an empty title, it sounds good, but in fact it is not a fart.I am a big cadre to establish the country with martial arts, as long as you can make achievements, there are still fewer marquis and prime ministers?
As a husband, I seized the opportunity before and attached to His Royal Highness King Yan, the third prince, so that I was able to transfer into the Praetorian Guard.The three princes are the popular candidates for the throne, if the three princes can ascend to the throne in the future, what is the position of an empty marquis?
The generals of the first army are not a problem!
”Zhang pouted and said: "What are you proud of, it's not because Zheng'er worshiped in the Baiyun Temple, performed well in the Baiyun Temple, and was known by the three princes, so that the three princes could notice you when they inspected the Western Xinjiang."
And if I hadn't contacted my brother to match up and let Jiangnan Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall enter Beijing to support the Three Princes, how would the Three Princes feel that you are useful?
What else do you want to be a general, you can get the title of the Hou Mansion first. ”Although Gu Cheng's second uncle Gu Yuanzhong looks good, in fact, what is not good is that he is a straw bag that cannot be written or done.The position of the general of Western Xinjiang was obtained by virtue of the meritorious deeds made by Gu Cheng's father after he died in the previous battle.This time, he was able to transfer back to the Praetorian Guard, which actually had nothing to do with his own ability.The relationship between the three princes and the Baiyunguan is close, because they once worshiped the Baiyunguan because the real person was the teacher, so the Baiyunguan can be said to support the three princes by default.After Gu Zheng entered the Baiyun Temple, he was noticed by the three princes because of his outstanding performance, and when he went to inspect the garrison in Western Xinjiang, he found that Gu Zheng's father was actually in Western Xinjiang, so it was equivalent to selling Gu Zheng's face and transferring his father to the Praetorian Guard as an idle post to join the army.And Zhang's brother worshiped in the Jiangnan Sect Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall, and Gu Yuanzhong used Zhang's brother to thread the needle in it, so that the Jiangnan Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall joined forces with the Three Princes, and sent people to Beijing to help the Three Princes at such a critical moment, which is equivalent to a great achievement.Under this series of coincidences, the third prince actually felt that although Gu Yuanzhong's own strength was not very good, he was a little clever, so he took him under his command and became one of his henchmen, and his status could be said to be turned upside down in an instant.At this time, Gu Yuanzhong just wanted to argue, but Gu Zheng walked in and said, "Father and mother, Senior Brother Liu from the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall is here, saying that he wants to discuss the recent entry of other people from the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall into Beijing.There is no need to trouble His Royal Highness King Yan for these trivial matters, I can wait for my own help to arrange them. ”At this time, Gu Zheng was already a whole head taller than two years ago, wearing a snow-white robe, handsome and handsome, and similar to Gu Cheng.Gu Yuanzhong heard this: "Hurry up, invite people in, of course this little thing is not a problem." ”After a while, a young man in a golden brocade robe walked in and said with a smile: "I have just arrived in the Thunderbolt Hall, and I don't have any accommodation or real estate in the capital, so I have to ask General Gu's family to help arrange it." ”Senior Brother Liu shouted that General Gu Yuanzhong was smiling, and he hurriedly said: "What kind of general, it's just a member of the army, it can't be true." ”"Why not?
Now General Gu's father and son are doing things for His Royal Highness King Yan, once His Royal Highness King Yan ascends to the throne in the future, it will not be easy to become a general?
”Gu Yuanzhong was proud in his heart, but with a reserved face, he let Senior Brother Liu in, and discussed some arrangements after the people from the Shenxiao Thunderbolt Hall entered Beijing.
