Sun Gusheng's face was as calm as water, but suddenly he showed a smile of relief.
It seemed like he had been waiting for this day for a long, long time.
However, Gu Xiaotian just sat in his seat and looked at him calmly, without speaking or making any movements.
Neither of them spoke. One stood and the other sat. They stayed like this for a long time.
In the end, it was Sun Gusheng who asked first: "Don't you plan to take action?"
Gu Xiaotian said: "Since you want to die, you should give me a reason to kill you."
Sun Gusheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said calmly: "The people in the current government definitely don't want to see me live, because if I keep living, that position will definitely be my turn. They don't want to see this, I don’t hope either.”
Gu Xiaotian asked with a smile: "You are not a roundworm in their belly, how do you know that they don't want you to live?"
Sun Gusheng lamented and said with some helplessness: "After guarding the world for so many years, who can watch helplessly as a loser sits in that position?"
Since the apparent unification of Bahuang, many of the previous rules have actually been abolished.
For example, hereditary inheritance, the most famous one is the previous Minister of Rites. The previous Minister of Rites was extremely proficient in etiquette, but his son was uneducated and idle all day long. He only recognized a compilation in the palace. Location.
Logically speaking, after the death of the Minister of Rites, his son can directly take the title of Minister, even if he does not inherit the position of Minister.
But the other officials didn't think so, and started to report one after another, so this rule was abolished.
But there is only one rule. Even though many officials started to report it, the old emperor has not abolished it.
That means the prince wants to inherit the throne.
Sun Gusheng's eyes were gloomy. He left the palace just so that his father could abolish this rule and let truly capable people sit in this position.
Gu Xiaotian, who had been sitting all the time, finally stood up, patted Sun Gusheng's shoulder gently, and said clearly: "After saying so much, in fact, you still want to sit in that position, right? ?”
Sun Gusheng was stunned, quickly shook off Gu Xiaotian's hand, and said in a panic: "You are talking nonsense, I have never thought of it this way."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Since you have never thought about it, you should have gone to seek death long ago. How could you dress up as a beggar, just to eat a mouthful of food, let others beat you and scold you, and live a good life?"
Sun Gusheng said: "I just want to take a good look at my father's land before I die."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Why do you pretend to be confused because you understand?"
Sun Gusheng said nothing.
"With the weight of the old emperor, it is not difficult to find someone in the world, but he has never come to you. Do you know why?"
"He wants you to take a good look and take a good look at this country."
"The country will belong to you from now on!"
Gu Xiaotian said firmly: "You are just afraid. You are afraid that you do not have the martial arts achievements of your elder brother, and you are afraid that you do not have the literary talent of your third brother. You are afraid that you seem to be mediocre and will attract the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, but In fact, you have never thought that the person who is truly suitable to sit on the throne is never just a little outstanding."
Hearing this, Sun Gusheng's hands trembled slightly.
Has he thought about this?
It seems that I have thought about it, but it seems that I have never thought about it.
Of course, Gu Xiaotian was definitely right about one thing.
That means Sun Gusheng didn't want to die like this, at least not in such a mediocre way.
Sun Gusheng looked at Gu Xiaotian.
The young man's eyes were firm.
Gu Xiaotian pushed Sun Gusheng back to his seat, sat opposite him, and said with a smile, "You should be very curious about who I am."
Sun Gusheng nodded.
Gu Xiaotian smiled slightly and placed his Gu family card on the table.
Sun Gusheng murmured: "No wonder...if you said these words, I wouldn't be so surprised."
After all, Sun Gusheng is also a prince, and he has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child. Being able to survive alone in such a chaotic world is a matter of luck, but he must have the strength by his side.
Sun Gusheng had naturally heard of Gu Xiaotian's deeds. He had just heard that Gu Xiaotian had destroyed the Xing family in Beihuang not long ago, but he never expected that he would meet him tonight by chance.
Of course, Gu Xiaotian didn’t expect it either.
Fate, wonderful beyond words.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, I shouldn't say it. The reason why I want you to reach that position is that I hope you can help me more in the future. You have been walking alone in the world for so long. Some news Some people must have seen a lot of them.”
Sun Gusheng nodded.
He understood what Gu Xiaotian was referring to.
"Of course, there are some rules that I will not break. A minister is a minister. Although we can be friends in private, when it comes to some major matters, if you make a decision, I will naturally not question it."
Sun Gusheng asked: "Do you believe in me like this?"
Gu Xiaotian said firmly: "It seems that there is no one in the world who is more suitable for that position than you."
Sun Gusheng shook his head, "No...I can't do it yet."
Gu Xiaotian walked to sit next to Sun Gusheng and patted him on the shoulder, "You have to do everything slowly to grow. If I had always thought that I was not good, I would have died somewhere in the corner. "
Sun Gusheng looked at Gu Xiaotian.
The young man had fiery eyes.
From his eyes, Sun Gusheng seemed to see his unlimited expectations. The young man seemed to really want him to sit in that position.
Before Sun Gusheng could speak, Gu Xiaotian asked: "Senior brother, how about going directly to Kyoto instead of Qinchuan?"
Hao Hao took out the map, looked at it, and said, "It's not a big problem. At least it's much safer than Qinchuan, and there are far fewer mistakes."
Gu Xiaotian invited: "Your Highness, how about we go back to Kyoto together?"
Sun Gusheng was stunned for a long time and did not reply.
"Still confused?"
Sun Gusheng nodded dullly, then suddenly shook his head.
Seeing Sun Gusheng's behavior, Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Since you shake your head, it means you are no longer entangled."
"I've been away from home for a long time, so I have to go back to Kyoto and have a good look."
…
…
The next day.
The carriage slowly drove out of the town, and this time there was one more person in the carriage.
Sun Gusheng was a little restless in the carriage. When the carriage went further and further away, Sun Gusheng stood up and said, "Can I get off the carriage now?"
Gu Xiaotian said with a bad smile: "I got in my car, but I never said anything about getting off in the middle."
Sun Gusheng had no choice but to sit back, but his expression was still not good.
The further the carriage moved forward, the more nervous he became.
It actually took less than two days to get from the small town to Kyoto. Gu Xiaotian also deliberately asked Hao Hao to speed up the journey. He only rested for a while on the road at night before continuing on his journey.
When the fast-moving carriage slowed down, the young genius in the carriage stretched out, lifted the curtain and took a look, and said with a smile: "Kyoto is still lively."
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the streets of Kyoto are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and many officials from the Ministry of Rites are preparing for the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival.
Looking at all this, Gu Xiaotian felt very comfortable and said with emotion: "This is a good time to choose, the day of reunion is coming soon."
Sun Gusheng had been hiding in the carriage from beginning to end, not daring to look out. Because he was too nervous, his palms and forehead were already dripping with sweat. He was lowering his head at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the other hand, Xiao Yinyin on the side was like a curious baby, asking here and there.
Gu Xiaotian was actually not very familiar with things in Kyoto, so he looked at Sun Gusheng with a smile.
Sun Gusheng then raised his head and answered Xiao Yinyin's question softly.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the Gu family. Gu Xiaotian got out of the carriage. When the boy at the door saw it, he was very surprised. He immediately ran down the steps in three steps and two steps at a time, and said excitedly: "Master, why are you back?"
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I feel homesick, come back and have a look."
The boy immediately nodded and said, "I'll report it to the old man right now."
After the boy left, it didn't take long for Gu Le to run out from the front door, followed by Gu Le's servant, who was carrying a pair of shoes in his hand. He chased and shouted, "Old man, put on your shoes first, put them on first." shoe!"
Gu Le was very excited to see Gu Xiaotian. He pinched his grandson's arm and laughed loudly: "As expected of my grandson Gu Le, he has already transformed!"
As soon as this statement came out, many pedestrians passing by stopped and were surprised.
Such a young transformation state is really rare in Bahuang.
After chatting with Gu Le for a while, Gu Xiaocai noticed that Sun Gusheng was still sitting in the carriage. Then he walked to the side of the carriage, knocked on the carriage, and shouted inside: "How long do you plan to sit in there?"
Sun Gusheng in the carriage took a deep breath, finally made a decision in his heart, and stepped out of the carriage step by step.
Seeing Sun Gusheng, Gu Le was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The rest of the people also bowed immediately and called His Highness the Crown Prince.
Pedestrians passing by were even more surprised.
This is the legendary Crown Prince!
Although the clothes are a little shabby, the royal aura cannot be concealed no matter what.
In an instant, all the passers-by knelt down and kowtowed.
Sun Gusheng's expression was very unnatural, and he quickly took two steps forward, helped the kneeling pedestrians up, and sighed: "I am not a prince..."
Gu Le stepped forward and asked: "Your Highness, where have you been these years?"
Sun Gusheng wanted to answer immediately, but he didn't know where to start.
Gu Le did not continue to ask, but instead brought everyone into the mansion.
Gu Xiaotian is also very discerning and knows that his grandfather has a close relationship with the old emperor. The two of them have probably talked a lot in private. At this time, it is natural to leave room for the two of them to talk, so he found a As an excuse, he took Xiao Yinyin and Hao Hao away first.
There were only two people left in that corridor, Gu Le and Sun Gusheng.
Gu Le said as he walked: "His Royal Highness, you must have thought clearly when you come back this time?"
Sun Gusheng shook his head helplessly, "No, I just met him and he brought me back."
Gu Le laughed and asked, "How is my grandson?"
Sun Gusheng didn't think twice and said directly: "A born big shot."
Gu Le nodded in agreement repeatedly, then changed the subject and said: "Compared with His Highness the Crown Prince, my grandson is nothing."
Sun Gusheng waved his hand and said: "Master Gu, there is a huge gap between me and your grandson."
Gu Le touched his beard and said, "Not far or far away, you two will be the first-class big shots in the world in the future."
"Your Highness, will you still leave after this trip?"
"I don't know... maybe."
"His Royal Highness is really going to leave again? Your father's body won't last long."
"I have no face to see my father..."
Gu Le sighed and said: "There is no way in the world that a son would be ashamed to see his father if he did something wrong."
"Your Highness, your father once said something to me. Do you want to hear it?" 33
Sun Gusheng remained silent.
Gu Le did not continue.
The two of them walked slowly along the corridor, and Gu Le didn't stop until they reached the end of the corridor.
"Your Highness, when you come back from this trip, go and see your father. He misses you very much."
Some people died, but not completely...
