Chapter 1: The Most Powerful Noble of the Great Xia
It is said that each one is as beautiful as a flower, standing gracefully.
Gu Jinnian did not continue discussing this topic, but instead changed the subject
Of course, whether it is specific or not, Gu Jinnian does not know; at least this memory is gone
Uncle Liu, it's nothing, it's nothing, I've been taking care of it for half a month now, taking elixirs every day, and even the most serious illness has been cured
Gu Ningya replied
There is no need to continue to pursue this matter; one should show mercy where mercy is due
He thought carefully but still had no impression at all
Farewell
If it truly escalates, wouldn't it give off a sense of having the world under one's control
Either engage in assassination or recruit soldiers under a banner, in short, this is indeed an unsettling factor
Therefore, it is unnecessary to be arrogant in front of the Crown Prince; being a little arrogant in front of the Grandson of the Emperor is sufficient
The memories before falling into the water are a blank slate
Faced with such concern from Uncle Liu, Gu Jinnian was deeply moved, but still hurriedly put a stop to it
Jinnian, how could you be perfectly fine and yet have a headache
Hiss
Although this is likely to be an exaggeration, after all, throughout history, which emperor did not boast about themselves
He arrived here half a month ago, and at the time of his arrival, he was in an extremely weakened state
The other party is, after all, the Minister of Rites. Although the Gu family wields immense power, it ultimately amounts to the antics of the younger generation. Since they have offered their apologies, that should suffice
Are you tired of living?
He is a time traveler, who in his previous life was a screenwriter for films and television, possessing a high level of professional knowledge, earning a considerable income, and with a decent appearance, making him a young and wealthy individual
As a normal person, it is certainly impossible to accept the notion of time travel; even with such a noble identity, this world remains too unfamiliar to oneself.
Matters concerning the court are unrelated to him
Gu Jinnian spoke
Regardless of who is right or wrong, it is unacceptable to bully you
Either one is a useless person or a horse-rearing youth, but rather a person of power and influence
Jinnian, are you hurt?
The Minister of Rites, one of the six ministries, is naturally not comparable to a duke. However, who is the Minister of Rites? He is a subject of the emperor, one of the main pillars of the Great Xia. To have someone like him removed over such matters is certainly not a good thing
If one must speak, there are indeed some benefits. As the grandson of a duke and the only heir of the Gu family for three generations, despite being only fifteen and a half years old, my family has already begun to arrange for a suitable wife for me.
And this is one's own identity
However, fortunately
Gu Jinnian has already thought about how to introduce himself in the future
Moreover, it seems that the situation is not entirely the fault of others
It is no longer the case now, because of Gu Jinnian
But this breath, you can swallow it, your uncle cannot swallow it
However, the reason Gu Jinnian displayed a look of helplessness was primarily due to an inability to accept it all at once
Jinnian, please don't scare me
It is probably true that I have traveled through time
Investigating confidential matters, you need not inquire further, for I fear you may speak of it indiscriminately
Who the hell dares to bully my nephew
"It was the daughter of the Minister of Rites who pushed you into the water, wasn't it"
What is the matter
If this involves the Minister of Rites, then this matter will be handled by Uncle.
I have three female cousins and one younger female cousin
By the way, there is one more thing. Uncle Liu asked you to think carefully about March 12, the day you fell into the water. Did you notice anything unusual?
Recently, I engaged in an action that attracted a significant amount of negative commentary throughout the city, earning me the label of a prodigal son.
It is not that I am asking you casually; the place where the white rainbow connecting the sun finally disappears is at the Wenxin Study, which is also where you read. Therefore, Uncle Liu came to ask and see if you have any impressions.
This is the only good news; at least in the future, there will be no need for ancestral skills, and marrying seven or eight wives sounds delightful when you think about it
I never expected that one day I would encounter something like time travel myself
It is precisely for this reason that throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, apart from the Crown Prince, no one dared to be arrogant towards him
He is the true super elite of the Great Xia
If I were to die, it would be troublesome for the Minister of Rites, but if I survive, there would be no major issues, so there is no need to make a fuss about it
He arrived here half a month ago
The only memory is that there seemed to have been some verbal dispute, where it was said that one had spoken disrespectfully after seeing the daughter of the Minister of Rites, who was graceful and elegant, and thus uttered some inappropriate words
Ah, the Minister of Rites truly seems to have a long-standing disregard for life
There is nothing Gu Jinnian can do about this
Even after traveling through time, Gu Jinnian could still feel a sense of heartfelt familiarity enveloping her
At this thought, Gu Jinnian could not help but reveal a meaningful smile
According to the memories in my mind, this sixth uncle truly raised himself with great care and affection, resulting in a deep emotional bond
An anomaly has appeared in Kyoto, with a white rainbow piercing the sun. This is not a good omen. According to the calculations of the Bureau of Astronomy, it is likely that a treacherous minister will emerge in the court.
The person standing before you is the eldest son of the Duke of Linyang of the Great Xia, the grandson of the Duke of the State, with his mother being Princess Ningyue, his uncle the Emperor of Great Xia, his second uncle the commander of the Divine Machine Camp stationed outside the borders, his third uncle a deputy general of the Xuanwu Army also stationed outside, his fourth uncle a general of the left wing still outside, his fifth uncle the left deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice, the future minister of the Ministry of Justice, and his sixth uncle the deputy commander of the Lantern Hanging Office
During this period, Kyoto has been bustling with activity, and everyone seems to be on edge. This is likely the reason why the old gentleman has not caused any trouble; otherwise, given his temperament, the Minister of Rites would truly have a hard time.
However, it is understandable that neither the old man nor your father said anything about this incident, probably not wanting to make a big deal out of it
The higher the status, the greater the power, yet sometimes one must still exercise caution
Gu Jinnian nodded
Jin Nian, you wait here for Uncle Liu, he will be back shortly
The most extraordinary thing is
However, Gu Jinnian had little to persuade.
To be honest, after reading numerous online novels, Gu Jinnian instinctively began to doubt whether she had crossed over and become the villain.
A white rainbow spans the sun
Damn it, after all, he is my own sixth uncle, not my cousin, what kind of propriety is it to be touching around like this
Jian De, the second emperor of the Great Xia, who is also the nephew of the current sovereign, has been overthrown and his fate remains uncertain. There are rumors among the people that Emperor Jian De has escaped from the palace and is preparing to reclaim his throne.
In an instant, a sharp pain caused Gu Jinnian to furrow his brows
Uncle Liu is a member of the Lantern Suspense Department, and his primary responsibility is to apprehend and investigate. If he were to uncover something, it would be a difficult matter for the Minister of Rites to escape unscathed.
Do you really dislike having nine heads
The original self has a rather poor reputation, being a pure and typical wastrel, lacking intelligence, speaking impulsively, acting recklessly, and having a very negative public image, possibly even worse than that.
Gu Jinnian furrowed his brows and began to recall seriously
Gu Jinnian was somewhat curious, but quickly shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't remember, Sixth Uncle, what use is it to ask me about this?"
I just stepped out for a moment, and someone dares to bully my nephew
Dynasties, the path of immortality, the black and the white, all are interconnected
Gu Ningya inquired
Strange things
In an instant, a beam of white light flashed through my mind, and the fragmented memories were gradually reassembling.
Uncle Liu, I have a headache
In fact, I am already dead; otherwise, I would not be able to traverse.
Soon, this headache sensation became increasingly intense, growing stronger and stronger
The officials in the court indeed do not dare to get involved, as this is the most taboo matter for His Majesty; whoever touches it will meet their demise
Of course, if it is a conflict among peers, Gu Jinnian can seek to regain her honor, but involving the connections of the previous generation may lead to unnecessary troubles
Gu Jinnian instinctively grasped Gu Ningya's sleeve, causing the latter to panic at that moment
What piqued Gu Jinnian's curiosity was how a mere fall into the water could lead to such a sudden severe illness
Soon, Gu Ningya appeared before Gu Jinnian, her delicate features filled with concern, and she even directly began to examine him to see if there were any injuries on his body
Seeing Gu Jinnian full of vigor, Gu Ningya also breathed a slight sigh of relief
In any case, because of this matter, I have basically become a rat crossing the street, at least it was like that a few days ago, the entire Kyoto was criticizing me for being unlearned and incompetent, a good-for-nothing, and for bullying others with my power
A voice sounded, appearing exceedingly coarse, but following the sound, there was a handsome young man dressed in black, exuding a fierce aura. Between his brows, there was a concentration of power, a force that could only be cultivated by those who hold high positions, which can be referred to as the authority of an official
Of course, if necessary, it is not out of the question to boast a little in front of the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is of the same generation as oneself
Moreover, the most crucial point is that Gu Jinnian himself has also forgotten the exact reason for being pushed into the water, and he does not remember it very clearly
However, Gu Ningya was not uncomfortable; on the contrary, he enjoyed this feeling of growing up. After all, before Gu Jinnian was born, the entire family regarded him as a child.
It is not an exaggeration to claim that he is the foremost power broker of the Great Xia
I am the only male descendant of the Gu family in the third generation.
Gu Jinnian stared blankly at the lake surface not far away, his eyes filled with emotion and helplessness
However, Gu Jinnian is truly unclear about what exactly is happening. During this period, his memories have not yet fully integrated, but he remembers the past events distinctly.
Such a distinguished and glorious identity left Gu Jinnian somewhat bewildered
Uncle Liu, the Minister of Rites came over to apologize that day, and his daughter was also given a lesson. Moreover, I was not left unscathed.
Gu Ningya opened his mouth, and after saying this, he was about to rush out of the house to confront the Minister of Rites.
Gu Jinnian sees clearly; otherwise, would there still be a need to wait for Gu Ningya to come and scold in the streets
Uncle Liu, where have you been during this period?
Gu Ningya slowly began to speak, contemplating this matter.
Yes
seems to be overly dramatic
Yes, the only male heir.
This is Gu Jinnian's sixth uncle, Gu Ningya, and the books, twenty-seven years old, who was once the favored member of the Gu family
Having discussed the previous generation, let us now address the peers.
Because prior to this, I was pushed into the water by someone and fell into the lake, nearly losing my life
Not only is it unfamiliar, but more importantly, it is uncomfortable. After all, without computers or mobile phones, in this technologically backward era, it truly lacks any meaning
This is clearly unreasonable
However, if this statement were to reach the court, it would likely cause a great uproar
In the splendid year, someone has come to summon the imperial physician
Gu Jinnian does not remember at all
As she reminisced, Gu Jinnian felt a slight headache coming on
Recently, the uncle has been investigating the remnants of Jian De, and there are individuals within the court who have been in contact with these remnants, suggesting that they have not yet given up hope
A white rainbow spans the sun
The eldest cousin is the champion of the Hou family, the second cousin is a disciple of the Qingzhou Sword Immortal, the third cousin is the senior sister of the Linglong Immortal Palace, while the youngest cousin is somewhat lacking, being the saintess of the Qingwei Immortal Sect
Later, Gu Jinnian was born, and Gu Ningya was liberated. Moreover, she indulged herself in every possible way, choosing to selectively shield herself from any mistakes she made
As for the cousins, it is not worth mentioning, whether they are a princess or a prince
Gu Ningya replied
I am quite fortunate, not to the extent of those web novels that start off in a miserable state
pushed into the water by someone
Gu Ningya opened his mouth to inquire about Gu Jinnian
Certainly, there are also some shortcomings that must be mentioned
Wenxin Shuzhai
However, just as Gu Jinnian was pondering.
It is known that the Great Xia Dynasty is one of the three major dynasties within the Eastern Wilderness, possessing a strong national power and abundant martial virtue. According to rumors, the founding emperor of the Great Xia obtained a divine artifact that could ensure the eternal prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty
But soon, a fierce expression involuntarily appeared on his face
A familiar voice suddenly sounded
Gu Ningya's voice gradually became panicked, while Gu Jinnian fainted.
The main issue is that this identity is too exaggerated and absurd
In the capital of the Great Xia, within the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Wanshang Garden is adorned with a profusion of flowers.
In the twelfth year of Yongsheng, the Jian De Emperor has yet to make an appearance, but there are indeed quite a few remnants still at large.
