Chapter 97 A gentleman’s choice
Peach Blossom Lady said she was going to buy some rouge and gouache. Her clothes were light and she quickly disappeared in front of Tai Yaoer.It wasn't that Tai Yao'er didn't want to accompany her, but he saw an acquaintance.

The man was eating wontons in front of a wonton stall. He added half a spoonful of spicy powder, which made passers-by think it was spicy. There was also a bowl placed opposite him, and it seemed that there was another person sitting opposite.

It was not cold in early autumn, but he was wearing thick clothes.

As soon as Tai Yaoer sat down in front of him, she heard him say, "Girl, I didn't treat you to something to eat."

Tai Yao'er took out a tael of silver and put it on the table. "No need to look for it. This is what I treat this hero to eat." She looked at the stall owner and said.

Leaning against the side of the table was a sword with a dark scabbard.

His eyes were originally cold, but when he saw Tai Yao'er's almond-shaped eyes, they lost their fierceness.

Qi Qi said softly, "Senior Brother Gu Mo."

"Why did you come to Liangzhu? Did you come to take me back?" Anyway, she had been playing for a long time. Even if he wanted to take her back, it would be nothing. He just had to wait for senior sister and Wen Yuanzhi to come home today before joining them again. Saying goodbye is.

"Do you still need me to arrest you?" he said.

"Senior sister is not at home today, are you here to see her?"

He didn't want to answer, "You don't have to worry about what I'm here for or who I'm here with. Just eat this bowl and go back early."

Who are you coming with?Tai Yao'er didn't want to ask him this originally, but he said it himself. It seems that he has a companion, who is his senior brother?

"Okay, then when you do something good, you come to me. Come to Lianhu Street, you can see a restaurant with three floors in total. It is the largest restaurant on that street, called Wangyue Tower. Then walk one mile south. You can see a small house, where my senior sister and I live. Remember to come find us." Tai Yao'er continued to chatter.

He looked at Tai Yao'er, and a trace of kindness flashed in his eyes. Tai Yao'er had never traveled far, and rarely even went to the mountains. Now that he saw that she was doing well, he was relieved, even though the master did not tell him to come. Take a look at her.

In the Changle Palace, the maid brought several plates of melons, which are the delicacies of Northern Chu. The Yan people eat sweet food but do not like overly sweet foods. The Chu people who followed the king's migration to Liangzhu also often miss the melons of Chu.

There was already a person with his toes hooked on the beam, and a bead curtain was hung on the beam.

However, there were no servants in the palace at this time.

There were only two people, one taking the seat and one sitting sideways.

One is the king of this world, and there is another he doesn’t know.

But seeing these two people sitting opposite each other, speechless.

After a while, the man sitting sideways raised his eyes slightly and twitched his ears, seeming to have noticed his presence. Just when he was about to take action, the man seemed not to know at all.

The emperor's eyes were bright and focused on the man. After a while, he said, "I got it specially for you, why don't you eat it?"

Gou Yue cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am a Yan person and I am not used to eating the food that Chu people like."

He sneered, "Really?"

Gou Yue said, "If Your Majesty wants me to eat some, I will do it."

He said, "I have a sister who likes to eat this honeydew melon very much."

"Princess Xuanqing is from Chu. I think she really likes to eat this kind of melon." Gou Yue replied.

"It's not her, it's my other sister."

Gou Yue was speechless and didn't ask further questions.

"My sister, when she was little, every time she got into a fight with someone, if she won, she would eat two in a row. Then she—"

"Your Majesty, I will continue teaching tomorrow, and today I will start the class for the princes." She interrupted him, not having the patience to listen any longer.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, his throat trembled slightly, and he changed his words, "I heard from Yuanzhi that you are from Jingui. Is the rice in Jingui growing well this year?"

Gou Yue said, "Very good, there will be no insect or drought this year."

After that, thinking of at least flattering him, he said, "I wish you great blessing, Your Majesty."

He laughed and said, "It's just you and me here. There's no need to talk about face. We Chu people don't like that."

Gou Yue corrected him, "The villain is from Yan, not Chu."

He said, oh, "But I see that the color of your eyes is not Yan Ren's."

Gou Yue frowned.

"Whether they are Yan people or Chu people, they are all common people of Chu now, don't you think so?"

"Exactly." She could only admit this.

Originally, the assassins on Liang Shang thought they were going to talk about some secrets, but now they heard that they were just talking about common things, and they became a little bit unpredictable.

"Why were you so afraid of me when you first met me?" he asked.

Gou Yue seemed to be unable to remember, "When did the villain get scared when he saw His Majesty?"

"A long time ago, in a wine shop in Liangzhu, you were competing with a woman. I helped you, but you turned around and saw me, as if you had seen a ghost."

It seems that he already knew that he came here in disguise. I wonder what Wen Yuanzhi told him.

Gou Yue thought of Wen Yuanzhi's tricks and said, "Although I don't know His Majesty's identity, I am aware of the majesty of the Emperor, so I am in awe."

He smiled helplessly, "Did he teach you to say this?"

Gou Yue said, "I don't know what your majesty means."

He looked at Gou Yue, hoping that she would raise her eyes to look at him, but she just lowered her eyes and did not turn around.

"A few days ago, Yuan Zhi and I had a big quarrel, did you know?"

She turned her head suddenly, why was there such a thing? Wen Yuanzhi never told her, "Why?"

Seeing that she was willing to look at him, he slowly said, "Because I killed someone."

"who?"

"The former author Zuo Lang Luyun Yun."

When she was still in Liangzhu, she heard that this man was good at writing poems and was well-known in Shengjing. After all these years, such a talented man died in the hands of the emperor.

"He is an upright man." Gou Yue said.

"I know that he is not only an upright man, but also a loyal minister."

"Then why did you kill him?"

Mo Du sighed, "It's a helpless move."

Gou Yue felt that he was really hypocritical, just like killing her back then, in his eyes, it was probably a helpless act. For the sake of his country, he would not regret killing anyone, but it would just be an act to mention it after many years.

"I killed him not because he was a villain, but because of his righteousness."

Gou Yue didn't even understand, "Since he is a righteous man, why do you want to kill him?"

"A gentleman who disrupts the government deserves to die even more."

Gou Yue's heart trembled, "What do you mean?"

"He is a spy of Nan Yan who intends to rebel. He wrote a lot of poems secretly to slander the Chu people, and he also kept a lot of weapons secretly in his home. He rebels against my government and wants to find Nan Yan, the heir of the Later Yan royal family, and unite The old officials of the Yan people want to destroy me, do you think I should kill him?" Gou Yue remained silent, the iron hooves of the Chu people stepped on the land of the Yan people, the Yan royal family was cowardly and betrayed the people and fled, but the people and old officials were willing Fight for Nanyan.

They can't be considered bad people, but now that the world has been settled, if the Yan people rebel, the Ruozhi people will definitely use this to invade the Yanruo border. In the previous war between Yan and Chu, the Ruozhi people did a lot of tricks. After several wars, the Yanruo people Chu Luo was not even as good as Ruozhi who took advantage of the situation.

"Do you know why the Yan people turned against me?"

Gou Yue knew it clearly, but shook her head.

"Because they feel that the Chu people are not the lords of the Central Plains, and they should not try to be the common lords of the world. After I came to the throne, I thought that my administration was far more beneficial than the Yan people. Many nobles in Yanchu hated me, just because I I am slowly weakening the power of the aristocratic families and changing the ancestral laws of the Yan people. But do you know? If I let the nobles do this, the land in the world will gradually be lost from the hands of the people, and they will all become slaves of the nobles. What I have to do It is to return the land that the people rely on for survival, which will inevitably affect the interests of the old Yan family."

When the assassin on Liang Shang heard what he said, the dagger in his hand swayed, and his heart also swayed.

Mo Du continued, "There are many Yan officials in the court. My informant came to report to me that many of them said something against the Chu people's politics and law, but I didn't kill them. Do you know why?"

"If you kill too many Yan ministers, the people of Yan will panic, the world will be in chaos, and the Central Plains will start war again." Gou Yue said.

"Yes, so I never take their words against me to heart. What I care about is what the people of the Central Plains think of me. The Chu people are the masters of the Central Plains, but I have forced the Chu people to unite with the Yan people. Integrating into the blood of the Central Plains people, in a few decades, Yan and Chu will be indistinguishable from each other. Do you think I am in charge of the world, am I better than the people of Nanyan?"

Gou Yue didn't reply.

He continued to mutter to himself, "As long as the people do not rebel, I will feel at ease. Those who are unjust will have few helpers, and as long as I do not lose the support of the people, I can be a good emperor. Although I cannot claim to be a wise king or a sage, I am not necessarily better than Those Yan people who have read the books of sages, do you think they are?"

Gou Yue pulled back, "Your Majesty is a wise king, Lord Kewen, and not a treacherous minister. Since he objects to you killing Lord Lu, he naturally has his considerations."

"Lu Yunyang's poems are fresh and elegant, with a worldly style, but his eyes are only on the book. His righteousness as a monarch and his ministers are only for the surname of the Nanyan royal family. When will he look at the lives of the people? What day is it?"

She remembered that the closer she went to Liangzhu, the more Chu people there were, and indeed the people lived better. On the contrary, far away from Liangzhu, where the Yan people still governed, there were endless corrupt officials.

Gou Yue felt a little irritated. She knew that what Mo Du said was right and that what he did for the people was real. To the people, he had done nothing wrong, but in order to ascend to the throne, he had killed those people. , isn’t it nothing?
Mo Du said slowly, "Lu Yunyun is a foolish and loyal person. He thought that if he pulled me down, Nan Yan would be able to recover. In fact, they just wanted the Nan Yan royal family to dominate the world, so that those aristocratic families could continue to take advantage of the people, regardless of the people. I am determined not to tolerate such a thing happening, so Lu Yunyun must die. Yuanzhi is worried that my step will be dangerous. Behind Lu Yunyun is Mr. Han, and his wife is the queen's aunt. If I move He, the Han family, will definitely take revenge, which is extremely dangerous."

She understood clearly that Modu wanted to scare the monkeys, but Ayuan felt that the old Yan court officials could not be regarded as a group of monkeys, and the consequences of irritating them were unpredictable.

In fact, these two people, one radical and the other steady, will definitely disrupt the chess game laid out by the old officials of the Yan people in seven to eight years at most and two or three years at least, so as to avoid being shackled again.

Gou Yue walked out of Changle Palace, her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. She sighed quietly and went to the west corridor.

After hearing what the palace official said, Wen Yuanzhi put down his pen and said, "She's already waiting for me in her carriage?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you go get my baggage for me, and I'll put the books back in their place, be quick," he said.

The palace man smiled when he saw this. Sure enough, he said the same thing as the man said, so he said, "Sir, don't be anxious. Lord Tai Gouyue outside said that you can take your time."

After she entered the palace, she no longer used Gou Yue's name, but changed her name to Gou Yue.

After getting on the carriage, she was still thinking about what Mo Du said just now.

Wen Yuanzhi sat next to her. The carriage was swaying on the palace road in the mountains. The palace driver said, "Two adults, take your seats."

"What's wrong, those kids bullied you today?" Wen Yuanzhi asked.

She said no, "Their tricks mean nothing, they can be resolved in an instant."

"Then what are you thinking?"

Gou Yue sighed, "I'm thinking about the assassin on the beam."

"What?!" He was shocked.

"Where's the assassin?" he asked.

Gou Yue said slowly, "The assassin of Changle Palace."

"Mo Du caught him?"

Gou Yue said, "I probably didn't notice it. His martial arts hasn't reached that level yet."

"You didn't remind him?"

"No."

Wen Yuanzhi opened the car curtain and said, "Go back!"

"Sir, we are already eight miles away. Are you sure you want to go back?"

Gou Yue said no, "Let's keep walking, we have to go back to eat."

She comforted him and said, "What are you afraid of? He raises the Twelve Guards. If he dies, the Twelve Guards will not survive. They will definitely save him."

Wen Yuanzhi was a little anxious and must go back.

Gou Yue had no choice but to say, "Well then, you can drive back."

Wen Yuan said, "Do you hate him that much?"

"Shouldn't I hate him?" She is not so kind and can forgive the person who killed her once.

Gou Yue looked at Wen Yuanzhi, "If I argue with him again and he wants to kill me, will you still stand by him?"

"No, I won't watch him kill you."

"You've already seen him once. It's not surprising that he would do anything for his throne."

Gou Yue said, "You are his minister, and you are always willing to stand by his side, but don't forget that you are my husband."

Wen Yuanzhi held her hand tightly and lowered his voice, "Believe me, I will never cause you such pain again. I will not sit idly by and ignore anyone in the world who wants to kill you. If he still refuses to let go, You, I will kill him without anyone noticing, and choose another one from the Yuan clan to be the emperor."

"Don't get involved in the old affairs between me and Modu Han Cheng. It depends on my mood. If I have the chance, I will take revenge. How they treated me back then, I just want to return the pain to them two or three times. This is It's not too much." Gou Yue said.

Wen Yuanzhi said nothing.

From her perspective, he really couldn't persuade her to be kind and let go of the past.

The carriage drove for a while, and while it was still on the mountain road, someone shouted loudly, "Is this Mr. Wen?"

Ji Pu recognized the carriage.

Wen Yuanzhi opened the car curtain and saw Ji Pu's face was injured, "What's wrong with you?"

Gou Yue has contacted the people in Liangshang of Changle Palace, and it seems that something is going on.

"Gou Yue, come with me to help Wu Zefei."

"Why?" Gou Yue said.

He couldn't explain a few words clearly and was so anxious, "There were more than one assassins in the palace. We followed closely and started fighting with him when we got to Wufeng Cliff. We didn't expect that his martial arts was so good. Then he came again." An assassin was recruited, and the two of them joined forces. Xuan Niang also came just now, and the three of us could barely deal with both of them. I was originally going to find Murong Wen."

Gou Yue nodded, "Then go ahead."

Ji Pu pulled her over and stood in front of her and said, "I can't walk that fast. I rushed back to call Murong Wen. I don't know where he is today. I didn't see him all the way from Changle Palace. You come with me." .”

Gou Yue pushed his hand away, "Where should I go with you?"
