Chapter 185 [Gu Tianya said: I want to be emperor]
"Tianya, there is news from Wuyang County. It is said that the second brother personally spurred them and together they passed the three levels of questioning you set."
"At the last stage, many people chose to let the eldest son of the family stand up, kowtow on the ground, and hold a handful of earth. The second brother specifically ordered that Bo'er's mother's grave be set up as a national tomb, and every year thereafter
Sacrifice and be wary of the officials of the world."
"That night, Mr. Wang Tong played the piano himself, and our Tan Xiao danced under the moonlight, and everyone bowed their heads as he sang about the woes of the world."
"There is also Li Chongyi. This guy is not bad either. He is stern and questioning all the officials. With a big spoon in his hand, he forces everyone to drink the bitter and astringent bark soup."
"Cheng Chumo was more direct. Before blocking the road, he cut his wrists and wrote in blood. It shocked people's hearts. This boy is quite brave in what he does. I'm going to get him into the Women's Army for some training."
"Now, the second brother and the others are continuing on their way. It won't take long for them to arrive. They will be able to attend our baby's baptism and let them see the style of our Gu family."
"Tianya, Tianya, why don't you speak..."
"Brother, brother, why don't you speak like Tianya..."
…
At this time, the morning light was bright and the sun was rising. Gu Tianya and Li Jiancheng were sitting lazily on the steps in front of the confinement room, one on the left and the other on the right.
The two brothers looked at the red sun in the east in a trance, as if they didn't hear Zhao Ning's constant voice in the room.
In the confinement room, the female relatives were sitting beside the bed with Zhao Ning. Zheng Guanyin was holding a sewing basket in her hand and was concentrating on selecting silk threads. Next to her, Mrs. Yang was holding a small fan and gently driving away mosquitoes and flies for the tiger baby.
.
There is another little guy, Li Mingzhu, who is beating Mrs. Gu's back obediently. She occasionally looks up to see if the tiger cub has woken up.
What a picture of a lazy and self-sufficient life.
Obviously no one paid attention to the arrival of the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Only Zhaoning kept talking, like a nagging young daughter-in-law from the countryside, thinking about this and that. When she was satisfied, she blamed Gu Tianya for refusing to talk to her.
Postpartum women have weird tempers.
So everyone let her go.
After a long time, Gu Tianya stood up from the ground. First he patted the dust on his butt, then stretched his neck and took a look inside the house. He found that the tiger baby showed no signs of crying. Obviously, it would be impossible for a while.
After waking up, he smiled at Zhao Ning and joked: "Brother and I went out for a walk. If you haven't said enough, just keep talking. When you feel tired of talking, you will stop talking...
"
Zhaoning immediately snorted and said angrily: "Are you starting to hate me now? Men are indeed ruthless and meaningless. Tiger baby, look at your cruel father. You used to talk so sweetly, and now you can't even accompany me
My mother doesn’t even want to talk.”
Several female relatives in the room started laughing and joking, looking at Gu Tianya outside the door and winking.
Gu Tianya didn't care and turned around to go out with Li Jiancheng.
The two brothers seemed to be aimlessly wandering around the village. It was almost noon when the two of them walked from the village to the end of the village.
In the distance was a ditch with gurgling water, and in the distance was a ditch bank covered with bushes. The two brothers each took out their fishing gear from a bush at the edge of the forest, then sat down on the edge of the ditch to catch fish.
But the ditch was not big, so few fish took the bait. Fortunately, the two brothers were not interested in fishing. Each of them pulled a piece of foxtail grass and put it in his mouth to chew.
Li Jiancheng's eyes seemed to be staring at the fish mark, and he seemed to be very focused on catching a fish. Unfortunately, a long time passed without any fish movement. He sighed and said: "The ditch is too small.
It’s not suitable. If you’re a middle-aged person like me, that’s it. You can pass the time here in a very boring way, but you are still young and your whole family is waiting for you to make money to support everyone.”
Gu Tianya didn't seem to hear, he was digging at the soil with concentration, and finally found an earthworm from the soil, and he immediately happily picked up the fishing rod and hung it on the hook.
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued with some helplessness: "You are still young, so you must not have everything. This small ditch in front of you is not suitable for fishing at your age. You have to go to Taotao River, you have to swim in the river."
, even if there are three thousand angry waves, you should attack them. Before the two hundred thousand women's army has been returned to the court, you have to make a feat that can be passed down to the Gu family for ten generations..."
Gu Tianya shook the fishing rod vigorously, trying to throw the fishhook that had just been hung with earthworms far away. Unfortunately, the ditch was so wide that there was no need to shake the hook hard, so he swung it hard and threw the fishhook directly to the opposite ditch embankment.
superior.
But Gu Tianya was not tired of it, he retracted the fishhook and continued to throw it out with all his strength.
Li Jiancheng stopped talking and looked at Gu Tianya quietly. After a long time, he finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Erlang personally brought someone here, won't you send someone to greet him?"
This time Gu Tianya stopped swinging the pole and sat down on the ground to rest. He casually pulled off another piece of dogtail grass, chewed it and said with a smile: "How can you not pick it up? It would be rude not to pick it up. Didn't I send Cheng Chumo?
Are they? Four disciples are enough to represent my sincerity."
Li Jiancheng's face darkened and he said, "You should understand that that's not what I meant."
Gu Tianya glanced at Li Jiancheng and asked with a smile: "Brother, you want me to pick him up in person?"
Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Yes, you can pick him up in person. Now that Erlang is the prince, he will ascend the throne soon. Although he is your brother-in-law, there is no need to be too cautious between relatives, but when it is time to be cautious
You must be cautious and at least make some moves to cover up others. Otherwise, even if Erlang doesn't care, others will remember these things. Once they regard these things as rhetoric, you will bear the stain of not knowing etiquette.
If a person has a stain, it will be extremely detrimental to one's reputation. This will prevent you from entering the court. Even if you enter, it will be difficult to compare with the three princes..."
Gu Tianya slowly exhaled and said, "Brother, do you think I should enter the court?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
Li Jiancheng asked directly, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to display your ambitions, if you want to achieve your ambitions, the court is the best place, where you can gather the power of a country for your use."
He paused for a moment, then suddenly pointed at the ditch in front of him, and said: "Just like when we were fishing here, we haven't harvested anything for seven or eight days. Is it because the fishing gear is not good? Is it because our fishing skills are not high?
?No, it’s just because the fishing place limits the fishing harvest. Even in a small ditch, you can’t display your huge abilities. So you have to go to the big rivers, that’s where you can hit the water for thousands of miles..."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya smiled leisurely and said: "No matter how small a ditch is, the water flow has a source. For example, the ditch in front of us has its source from the big river outside the village. Although we are fishing in this small ditch, we still catch
Every fish in the world comes from the big river. But what about the big river? It is connected with the sea. If you think about it this way, what difference does it make if I enter the court or not?"
He paused as he spoke, looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "As long as I work hard, small trends can influence the big ones. It's better than entering the court and having to allocate part of my energy to scheming with people, or even all my energy to scheming with people."
, in that case I would not have the energy to do what I want to do.”
Li Jiancheng was a little angry. He suddenly threw the fishing rod to the ground and said angrily: "No more fishing."
Due to the excessive emotion, I coughed several times, my face became red and my breathing became heavy.
Gu Tianya was startled and said quickly: "Brother, don't be angry. Your disease has not been cured yet. Don't let these little things affect the progress of your treatment."
"It doesn't matter whether I die or not, but I can't be angry with you for being such a scumbag. How old are you? You will only be twenty years old after this year. Good man, why do you want to learn to be leisurely? You have to fight, you have to rob,
Although the Tang Dynasty belongs to my Li family, the interests of the world cannot be enjoyed exclusively by the royal family. Since the royal family cannot enjoy it exclusively, it must be shared with the officials of the world. If others can share it, why don't you get a share of it."
"Okay, okay, brother, I listen to you, I'm going to get a share of the pie, I'm going to make a lot of money, okay?"
"Are you willing to enter the court?"
"Brother, don't be angry. I really don't need to enter the court. Don't worry, I have my own planned path. As long as I follow this path, one day I will let you understand my intentions."
"So you still don't want to be an official?"
"Oh, brother, have you forgotten that agreement? The royal family and the aristocratic family each take a step back. I will never be allowed to enter the court in this life."
"That was before, this is now. After the battle at Xuanwu Gate, the family will never stop you from becoming an official."
"But brother, I really don't want to be an official."
…
Li Jiancheng finally became furious and shouted: "I have been trying to persuade you for so long, but you still refuse to listen. If you don't want to be an official, do you want to be the emperor?"
These words were meant to be angry, but Gu Tianya actually nodded slowly and said softly: "Brother, you are right, I do want to be the emperor."
hiss!
Li Jiancheng gasped.
Then he stood on the spot with a dull look on his face.
After a long time, Li Jiancheng was stunned and said subconsciously: "You want to rebel?"
Then he looked worried and said very eagerly: "Don't have this idea. The Li family can't become a royal family casually. Outsiders only think that it is a change of dynasties. In fact, only we ourselves know that it is succession. Regardless of the Sui Dynasty,
Regardless of whether it's the Tang Dynasty or not, it's all an internal matter of the Guanlong family, and the so-called change of dynasty is just a change of family."
He became more and more worried as he spoke, but he was not worried that the Tang Dynasty would be overthrown by Gu Tianya, but worried about Gu Tianya's safety, so he hurriedly said: "Good brother-in-law, give up your thoughts quickly. If you really want to rebel, I will
A hundred thousand women's army is definitely not enough. Maybe it only takes one battle, and you will be beaten to a pulp. Even if Erlang wants to protect you, the general trend of the world will force the Li family to kill you."
