Kyoto Dongcheng Xingyebo is located in the northeast of Suzakubo, not far from the palace. Most of the buildings in the square are the residences of important officials of the court.

Guangping Marquis Mansion, inside the main hall.

Gu Liang looked at his wife and daughter who came in, and asked calmly: "Is the matter not done?"

The light in his eyes was restrained, and he did not appear upright and forthright in front of others.

Mrs. Zhao came to sit down next to him and said with a wry smile: "Master, this matter can't be done in the first place. There is no reason to leave me alone and only ask my son."

"Pei Rong?"

Gu Liang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Those who are drunk, lustful and wealthy are just withered bones in the grave. As the leader of the Ding country, he doesn't even dare to go into battle to kill the enemy. He is really a bastard who has tarnished the reputation of his ancestors. If the Duke of the country knows anything about it,

, most likely he will be so angry that he will get up and break the legs of this unworthy descendant."

Hearing this, Gu Zhen said in embarrassment: "Dad, you promised your daughter not to scold anyone."

Gu Liang has four sons, but none of them are in Kyoto. Three of them are working hard in the army. The youngest one has a weird temperament and spends his days wandering around the world as a knight-errant. However, this boy has the best martial arts talent.

This made Gu Liang angry. The only daughter in the family was Gu Zhen, so Gu Liang loved her very much. He immediately smiled and said: "Good girl, I won't do this again. Is there anyone who made you unhappy in the house over there today?"

Gu Zhen shook her head obediently and said, "No, the Pei family's sister is very good to her daughter."

Gu Liang glanced at Mrs. Zhao and said to Gu Zhen: "You have been out for a day and you are tired. Go back and rest."

Gu Zhen agreed, bowed and left.

When she left the main hall, Gu Liang's tiger eyes glanced at her, and all the maids serving in the hall lowered their heads and left quickly, no one dared to delay for a moment.

Seeing that he looked a little ugly, Mrs. Zhao asked worriedly: "Master, what happened?"

After Gu Liang was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "Please tell me in detail what you saw today."

Zhao thought about it and started talking about the banquet. When it came to Qin's proposal to let Pei Yue and others go into the back house to meet him, Gu Liang said coldly: "This woman is really stupid. She thinks

After currying favor with Mr. Li, he could let Li Biangzhong support Chang Si, but he didn't even think about it. Li Biangzhong himself was working under Zuo Junji. He was a master who couldn't tolerate disgrace in his eyes. How could he sit back and watch the powerful generals secretly transfer their power to him?

I often think that this person has nothing to offer, and his military training is ordinary, so he just wants to stay at home and do some evil things, which is extremely ridiculous."

Zhao laughed and said, "I don't quite understand what the master said, but that brother Yue is really amazing!"

Gu Liang immediately became interested and asked: "How did he do it?"

Zhao then explained in detail how Qin made trouble, how Li added fuel to the fire, and finally how Pei Yue handled the matter.

After Gu Liang finished listening, he pondered for a moment, then exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice: "He did a good job, and there is no better way to do it."

Zhao said with emotion: "Master, Brother Yue is only thirteen years old, but he talks and acts like he is thirty years old. He is extremely experienced. I really don't know how this little man does it. I think his wife feels pity for him.

, but won’t teach him this.”

Gu Liang smiled faintly, with mixed emotions in his tone: "What do you know? People like him are young and mature, and... he is different after all!"

However, Mrs. Zhao was a little confused by these words and asked: "Master, why do you treat this Yue brother so differently?"

Although she is an honest and responsible woman, she lives in the Hou Mansion and has a lot of experience. Why can't she see that Gu Liang pays special attention to Pei Yue? You know, even for his own four sons, Gu Liang

I've never been so concerned.

Gu Liang looked at the door with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Do you know why I had outstanding military achievements back then, but I could only be a small general, while those who were just flattering me were all climbing on top of me?

?”

Ms. Zhao knew the reason very well, but she looked worried and advised: "Master, we can't tell who was right or wrong about what happened back then, so why should you worry about it?"

Gu Liang shook his head and said resolutely: "Right is right and wrong is wrong. How can we not tell the difference? The four generations of my Gu family have sacrificed their lives and blood for his family's country. They are all loyal and have died in battles for hundreds of years.

There are no less than a hundred men on the battlefield! Father...he is different from me. I just looked stupid, but he was really stupid, otherwise he would not have died in that man's hands."

These words frightened Zhao to death, because the person Gu Liang was talking about was none other than the Emperor Zhongzong who ordered Gu Hao to die. She grabbed his arm and almost begged, "Master, stop talking!"

Gu Liang raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, that man has been dead for more than ten years. I can't dig him out of his grave and ask my Gu family if he is at fault. I want to say

What's more, in those dark years fourteen years ago, the reason why I didn't die on the battlefield or encounter a cold arrow from behind was all because of one person's kindness. Do you want me to repay the kindness?"

Zhao nodded first, then her eyes suddenly changed, and her voice trembled as she said, "Master, you mean, Brother Yue..."

Gu Liang said extremely calmly: "Besides you and me, I am afraid that only Pei Taijun knows the details of this matter. Pei Rong and the Li family, although they don't know the inside story, they probably guessed something. After all, it was

The Duke personally ordered it before he died, and I went to do it myself, but I didn't expect that things would change like that. If I had known it would happen, I would never have done that!"

Even though there were only two people in the hall, and with Gu Liang's ability and ability, the crows in Taishitai Pavilion couldn't get close to the main hall. Mrs. Zhao was still frightened. She was not the kind of person with deep thoughts, and she had no idea about the ups and downs outside.

She only wants to protect her husband and children and live a good life. But after marrying Gu Liang, she is destined to know some shocking past events.

Seeing the sad expression on her face, Gu Liang smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? I don't know how to do anything, I just want to take good care of Brother Yue. Even if those people have doubts, they will not think of those things.

After all, I am only taking care of the descendants of the Duke of Guo, and who in Kyoto doesn’t know that without the Duke of Guo, our Gu family would have been exterminated."

Unlike others, the Duke Gu Liang mentioned was Pei Yuan, the first Duke of Ding, and not Pei Taijun's husband, Pei Zhen, who was posthumously named Duke Ding.

It was Pei Yuan, who was over seventy years old, who personally entered the palace to dissuade Emperor Zhongzong, and the Gu family retained their lintel title. But even so, during the 19 years of Emperor Zhongzong's reign, Gu Liang's climb in the military was extremely difficult, even though he was

Although he made great contributions, in the end he only got the official position of an idle general. Until fourteen years ago, after Zhongzong died of illness, the late emperor transferred the thirty-six-year-old Gu Liang to the southern border army to face the million-strong army of the Zhou Dynasty.

, began to be promoted rapidly based on military merit.

In that year, Gu Zhen came to the world and became Gu Liang's most beloved daughter.

Zhao nodded and said, "Since I have a plan in mind, I naturally won't think too much about it. I just hope that when I act, I will think more about my family and Zhen'er."

Gu Liang smiled and said: "I know, Brother Yue, a brat, is trying to prevaricate you with his filial piety, so I'm afraid he may have doubts about me."

Zhao asked curiously: "Why does he doubt the master?"

Gu Liang touched his forehead and said angrily: "I originally thought that even if Pei Rong didn't love Brother Yue, he wouldn't treat him harshly. How could I have expected that the situation in that mansion would be like that! The same goes for Pei Taijun,

I didn't even look after him. So during the banquet, I said a few words to Brother Yue. This guy was too narrow-minded and would definitely not fully believe my good intentions, so he was on guard. But, he was on guard

It seemed like I was fine, but it messed up my plan."

"What's your plan, sir?"

"What do you think of Brother Yue and Zhen'er?"

Mrs. Zhao was really frightened. She said in surprise: "Master, how can this be done?"

Gu Liang frowned and said, "Why not?"

Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Master, Zhen'er looks weak, but she is very stubborn. If she doesn't like Brother Yue, you might be afraid that something will happen if you force her."

"You don't understand." Gu Liang chuckled softly, and then said: "Get the fourth child back and let him find an opportunity to take Zhen'er to Yue Geer's village and let them young people meet by themselves. If

If Zhen'er doesn't object, you are not allowed to stop her."

Ms. Zhao felt helpless. Although she admired Pei Yue's temperament, she never thought of asking him to be her son-in-law. What's more, Pei Yue's body was as thin as a chicken, and he didn't look like he would live a long life. She

How can I bear this with such a precious daughter?
