The Reborn Widow's Husband Search

Qu Yu never thought that he would hear such an unimaginable explanation, "This, how is this possible, you, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Xingji smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is it incredible?" Gu Xingji took a step back to put the distance between Qu Yu, "I still remember the feeling when the arrow pierced here, I thought I was going to die, but God favored me, I woke up. However, the one who wakes up is the second prince of the Wu Dynasty, and also the Erlang of the Zhang family." Gu Xingji compares his head, "There are not only the intrigues in the palace, but also the innocence of the Zhang family. happiness."

"This, this is impossible..." Qu Yu didn't know how to convince himself to accept Gu Xingji's words.

"Yes, it's impossible, so if you've heard it, forget it!" Gu Xingji clenched the fish pendant in his hand, not planning to keep any more.

"Wait, I..." Qu Yu subconsciously kept Gu Xingji, he knew that his performance had disappointed Gu Xingji.Gu Xingji told the biggest secret in his heart, but he didn't believe it. If the identities of the two were reversed, Qu Yu felt that he could do any gaffe.

"I already understand what you mean, is there anything else?" Gu Xingji asked Qu Yu with his back turned.

"I, it's not that I don't believe you." Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the words after the beginning are smoother, "I just can't accept it for a while. This is so unimaginable, you have to give me time to accept it."

Qu Yu's words gave Gu Xingji hope, and he turned to look at his daughter-in-law, "How long do you need?"

"This..." Qu Yu thought for a while, "Hundred days of filial piety is about to pass, and you have to observe filial piety for three years. Why don't you wait until your filial piety expires..."

Gu Xingji smiled wryly, what is the difference between this and rejecting him? "Follow you!" Gu Xingji said and wanted to leave again.

"Wait, I haven't finished yet!" Qu Yu took Gu Xingji's hand for the first time, "I mean, let's talk about marriage after your filial piety expires. I want you to think clearly, as the second The prince thinks clearly. I don't want Erlang's thoughts to influence your choice. You are now the emperor's elder brother, the prince conferred by the previous emperor, and the marshal of the soldiers and horses. To put it bluntly, the emperor is number one , you are second, you have many better choices, don't take Erlang's idea as your idea!"

Gu Xingji turned around and hugged him into his arms, "You think too much. Maybe when I saw you for the first time, I was kind to you because of Erlang, but later you and I fought side by side, and you risked your life to save me. At that time, you will walk into the second prince's heart!"

Qu Yu silently leaned on Gu Xingji's chest, for a long while, "I'll wait for you for three years!" It's not that Qu Yu doesn't like Gu Xingji, on the contrary, the two of them get along day and night, and the accumulation of bits and pieces, Gu Xingji Xingji definitely ranks in the top three in Qu Yu's weight.Otherwise, he wouldn't have done that thing with Gu Xingji half-heartedly, and he made a lot of determination to say the rejection today, but it was a pity that he was also defeated by Gu Xingji's big secret.

It is impossible to say that Qu Yu has no doubts about Gu Xingji's words. Two dead people became one living person?Who will believe it?It would be nice not to imprison you in the Madman Tower!No matter how superstitious you are, it is possible to burn you alive.In the end, Qu Yu chose to believe. On the one hand, he believed that Gu Xingji would not lie to him about this matter. Xingji, lonely life.

It doesn't matter whether he is selfish or selfish, or he is free to say that he "has set up a memorial archway after becoming a bitch", that's what he thinks, who doesn't want to be good for himself?He didn't get in the way of anyone else!

Gu Xingji kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, "Okay, as long as you say it, I will believe you!"

The tension just now passed, and there was a touch of warmth between the two who wanted to rely on. "You, since you are also Erlang, why do you treat Erlang's...flesh body like this?" Qu Yu thought for a while but couldn't hold back, but carefully changed the corpse into a fleshy body at the end.

Gu Xingji's body froze, and then he said reluctantly, "It's my own body, but I can't move it, and I have to watch others drag it around like it's dead... It's better to burn it clean, Anyway, that body has already started to rot, and I can't go back. If I can choose, I don't want to be a prince. I'm not as good as Erlang. The important thing is that I can own you openly!"

Gu Xingji's words made Qu Yu blush. "What nonsense are you talking about? Although the Zhang family is good, they are courtiers after all. You see, but what the first emperor said, you... Erlang..." Qu Yu was confused, and didn't know how to address Gu Xingji, "Anyway, it's the head. Neither did he escape the fate of dying on the battlefield!"

Gu Xingji was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, "Anyway, the previous emperor has passed away, and the new emperor will be a wise emperor! Such things will not happen again!"

"En!" Qu Yu is willing to believe Gu Xingji's words, but it's one thing if he wants to believe it, and another thing is whether he is wishful thinking. "I want to return the Seal of General Jinhe to His Majesty. Grandma said before she left that the Zhang family will no longer produce generals. I don't know if I will offend His Majesty by doing this!"

"It's okay, I'm here!" Gu Xingji didn't like his little daughter-in-law taking people to fight with others. These things should be done by a well-established man, and he didn't want his little wife to go. Beloved! "I am the marshal of the soldiers and horses, and I have the right to dispatch troops. You are my daughter-in-law who has never been married. If you serve as General Jinhe again, you will have the right to lead the troops. Then the soldiers and horses of the Wu Dynasty will become our husband and wife? No If the emperor agrees or disagrees, it is impossible for those officials in the court to agree. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the emperor’s disagreement. It’s just that the emperor has just ascended the throne and there are not many available people. For a while, the emperor's foundation in the court has been stabilized, so you can hand over the military power."

Gu Xingji's analysis made sense, but Qu Yu was embarrassed when he said "daughter-in-law" on the left and "sister-in-law" on the right, "If anything, sister-in-law, whether we want to marry you or not depends on three years later!"

After hearing this, Gu Xingji quit, "You said wait for me for three years, do you want to go back on your word?" He absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen!

Qu Yu angrily kicked Gu Xingji's calf, "I said we won't get married until three years later, we don't have much relationship now!"

Gu Xingji was even more reluctant, "Who said it doesn't matter? You accepted my betrothal gift, so you are my daughter-in-law who has never been married. Do you want anything else?" Gu Xingji straightened his back, letting his pride Poke the little daughter-in-law.

Qu Yu pushed Gu Xingji away in embarrassment, "Dirty, you are still doing things for...Erlang!" Thinking that Erlang is also the man in front of him, Qu Yu felt very awkward.He finally understood Gu Xingji's feeling when he had to collect his body even though he was still alive.

Speaking of the front, Gu Xingji stopped playing hooligans, "What are you going to do with that urn?"

Qu Yu thought for a while, "The fact that you are Erlang can't be exposed. People outside think that Erlang is dead. It was okay when he couldn't find the body. Now that he has found the body, he can't deal with it hastily. People will gossip about it. Besides. , according to your current status, you will definitely not be able to enter the Zhang family's ancestral grave in the future, and grandma will always think about her little grandson when she arrives, and she will always have her thoughts."

Gu Xingji thought for a while, and agreed with Qu Yu's idea, "It's fine, but you can't leave now, and you have to wait until you return the general seal to the emperor. I'll go with you, and pay homage to grandma. , last time I was in a hurry and only had time to kowtow to grandma, this time I can't save the proper etiquette."

After discussing for a while, the two fell asleep.In the following days, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the daily morning court has resumed.It's just that Qu Yu didn't go to court. During this period of time, he stayed in the Duke's mansion without leaving the gate, and outsiders couldn't spy on him. He only regarded him as guarding for his righteous brother at home.

But I don't know that since the two talked about it that day, Qu Yu has never done rituals again. Since Erlang's soul can be on Gu Xingji's body, can Gu Xingji's soul also leave the body?When performing deeds, he would always summon the soul, he was afraid that it would be bad for Gu Xingji.

As a courtier, Qu Yu did not go to court, but Gu Xingge had no objection. As long as Qu Yu still had [-] soldiers and horses in his hand, as long as Qu Yu was still in the capital, Gu Xingge would have no scruples. The carrion in the middle is cut off.

In the hundred days since the new emperor ascended the throne, the number of ministers and workers standing in the court hall has decreased by nearly half of the old faces compared to half a year ago, and there are also many new faces.The foundation of the new emperor in the imperial court became more and more stable.After gaining a firm foothold, Gu Xingge began to settle accounts. All officials and guards involved in the conspiracy, including Guo Hong, were all executed.On the day of the execution, the soil of the execution ground was repeatedly soaked with blood, and it never returned.

Give a sweet date with a stick, cut off those who have two hearts, Gu Xingge promoted a group of loyal officials and officials, and the court of Wu Dynasty was full of vitality again.Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Xingji asked his daughter-in-law to resign.

Qu Yu has made meritorious service no matter whether he stopped the palace change or quelled the rebellion. The emperor took over the military power as soon as he sat down on the stool, and his reputation was not good, so Gu Xingge dismissed Qu Yu without any hesitation. requirements.

"Qizou Your Majesty, I have already got a marriage contract with General Qu, and we will live together in the future, and there must be someone to take care of the family. If there is another war in the future, I will take the lead as the Marshal of the Army and Horses. If Qu Yu will also follow the minister to the front line , there will be no one to take care of the family." Gu Xingji came out to speak for the young daughter-in-law.

Although Gu Xingji said that he left people in the capital to take care of his family, it was actually because there was an unwritten rule in the past dynasties that if a general led an army to go out, his relatives and family members would be sent to the capital as hostages. This was because he was afraid of leading troops The general rebelled against the water before the battle.Gu Xingji said this to remind the emperor that he and his daughter-in-law have gone to war, and there will be no hostages in the capital!

"Isn't Yao'er the only one who is at home by himself? He is my own nephew. If the emperor's brother goes out to fight, let him enter the palace. I will not wrong him. He is. In the future, Yao'er will grow up. Interest, going out together with the emperor's brother has also made a good story of a father and son in battle!" The emperor's words showed his trust in Gu Xingji.

"Sir, thank you for your kindness, it's just... the military is tough, and I don't want my wife to suffer!" Gu Xingji didn't push his nose because of the emperor's kindness, but he didn't speak too politely.

Gu Xingge was stunned for a short time when he heard the words, and the time was so short that almost no one noticed, "Haha, Brother Erhuang is not afraid of being laughed at by the adults, so let's accept the invitation of Qu Qing's family. But , it will be my birthday in one month. Originally, my father, queen and mother had just passed away. I planned to keep everything simple, but some small and remote states did not have time to congratulate me when I ascended the throne. A few days ago, the Ministry of Rites received the letter of credence. Xiaobang will come to congratulate me on my birthday, which is considered a major event after I ascend the throne, and the Qu Qing family will have to share some of my worries at that time."

"But at His Majesty's command!" Qu Yu knelt down and bowed.That's it.

Afterwards, everyone in the DPRK was very busy with foreign countries coming to congratulate, with only two exceptions.These two people are naturally Gu Xingji and Qu Yu.Gu Xingji pushed Xu Shaoxian out, young people need experience, if you don't understand, just ask more questions!As for Qu Yu, Gu Xingji contributed Song Xuan, the guard commander beside him, to be responsible for the defense of the imperial city, replacing Qu Yu's duties.

After the Liaodong King's rebellion was put down, Xu Shaoxian was rewarded for his meritorious service, and with Gu Xingji's recommendation, he won several ranks in a row.He came forward to deal with the military affairs representative was Marshal Gu Xingji, and with Gu Xingji standing behind him, even if someone thought Xu Shaoxian was not qualified enough, he would not say anything.But Song Xuan was different.Although Song Xuan has a good background, he is only a first-rank bodyguard. Even if he represents Qu Yu, Qu Yu is still young and has insufficient qualifications!

The emperor knew that his second brother was there, so he didn't need to count on Qu Yu to help him defend the imperial city. Fortunately, the second brother was not too unreliable, at least he knew how to contribute his capable bodyguards.But the emperor still needs to find someone to help him keep the place down!The emperor thought about it for a while, and decided to let the eldest prince Gu Xingwen, who had already been named the loyal king, take full charge of the security work during the Longevity Festival, Song Xuan assisted, and each department fully cooperated.

The emperor's decree was spread out, and Gu Xingji, who had been accompanying his daughter-in-law to patrol the streets every day, was more at ease, and abducted his daughter-in-law and took his son and nephew to the Xingxiu Temple of the State Temple. , The new emperor's birthday prayer is actually just going out to hide.

Although King Ning Gu Xingji had an indifferent temperament, he was a product of the royal family and naturally had an extraordinary appearance.In comparison, Qu Yu's appearance is a little worse, but he was also raised by Nanguan's mother as a cash cow, no matter how bad he is, he won't be too bad. In addition, after taking care of children for a long time, his gentle temperament has increased a lot. Fraction.Ever since the two of them started patrolling the streets, more and more boudoir girls used the pretext of going to the streets to buy rouge and gouache, and hid in the places where the two passed by to make eye contact.

Since King Ning and General Jin He left Beijing, the people patrolling the streets have become King Zhong, who is gentle and elegant, and Song Xuan, who is full of heroism.Originally, because the patrollers had changed, the girls still held resentment, but after meeting the two, the number of girls taking to the street did not decrease, and they fantasized about how much it would be if one of these two was their husband. OK!

The days passed in the fantasy of the girls day after day.Fanbang Chaohe's envoys arrived in the capital one after another, and Gu Xingji and Qu Yu couldn't continue hiding on the mountain, so they could only end their prayers and return to the capital to shoulder their responsibilities.

Although the two of them finally had the consciousness to do something serious, the emperor was worried about them.Qu Yu came from a small place, and he has gained some knowledge by following Gu Xingji for more than a year, but it is still not enough for him to be the face of Wu Chao and deal with foreigners.As for Gu Xingji, needless to say, as a younger brother, Gu Xingge is very clear about how indifferent his brother is to outsiders. If the envoy from Fanbang doesn't open his eyes and annoys him, he might kick him over. .

These two people are not suitable, so the other two can only replace them.Needless to say, the replacements must be King Zhong and Song Xuan.Although King Zhong was a bit useless by Empress Yuan, he was brought up in the way of an emperor after all. He was not lacking in power and influence, and his temper was much better than King Ning.In addition, as a bodyguard, Song Xuan's ability to handle affairs has been affirmed by Gu Xingji. The most important thing is that he is smooth and will not offend others.Looking at it this way, Gu Xingwen and Song Xuan really are a suitable couple.

The emperor tried his best to keep King Ning's fiancé away from the envoys, so as to avoid troubles, but people are not as good as heaven, even if this person is the emperor.

After King Ning Gu Xingji and his fiancé Qu Yu returned to the capital, they took over the task of patrolling the streets again.On this day, they shook off the tails that followed them as usual, and the two of them were strolling on the street when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the horse is startled, get out of the way!"

People who heard it moved to the two sides one after another, but a girl dressed in a foreign land was attracted by the shops on both sides of the street, and did not hear the yells from not far away.Qu Yu's first reaction was to save someone, but Gu Xingji, who is so jealous, can let him touch other girls?I had to do it myself.

Seeing that the carriage was approaching, Qu Yu was worried that Gu Xingji would be injured by the horse, so he stepped forward a few times, turned over and rode on the horse, and restrained the frightened horse. When the horse raised its front hooves high, Pulling the reins hard, the horse's hooves barely landed on the open space beside Gu Xingji, and a disaster was resolved.

Gu Xingji quickly let go of the arms around the girl, hurriedly said "I'm sorry" and ran to the horse, reached out and hugged the little daughter-in-law off the horse's back, "Who allowed you to do such a dangerous thing? The horse is frightened, don't you know? Look, the hands are all red from the reins!"

Just now seeing the horse approaching, Qu Yu's only thought was not to let the horse hurt Gu Xingji, so he rushed up without thinking much.After the crisis passed, Qu Yu regained his strength, only to realize how dangerous what he had just done, he might be the one who was thrown off the horse and trampled!

It's just that Qu Yu was still very embarrassed when Gu Xingji talked about it in the street, so he could only casually say: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while!"

Gu Xingji was about to continue to criticize his little wife, when a soft female voice came in from the side, "Excuse me, may I ask which righteous man stopped the frightened horse?"

Neither Gu Xingji nor Qu Yu expected that someone would come to inquire about this, they were stunned for a moment, and Qu Yu replied subconsciously, "It's me, what's the matter?"

"Thank you benefactor for saving your life!" As soon as Qu Yu finished speaking, the girl knelt on the ground with the support of the maid. "The little girl and the servant girl were on the carriage just now. If the benefactor hadn't stopped the startled horse in time, the little girl and the maid would not have escaped the fate of the car being crashed and killed. Please beg the benefactor to be respected by the little girl!"

It is impossible for Qu Yu to make a weak little girl bow down, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "This is my duty, the girl doesn't need to do such a big gift!"

How can Gu Xingji tolerate his little daughter-in-law getting close to other women, and there are not too many examples of giving her body to repay the favor of saving her life!But before Gu Xingji stepped forward to help the little daughter-in-law out of the siege, he himself got into trouble.

It turned out that the foreign woman he had just rescued was a princess brought by a foreign mission.The princess lived outside the Great Wall since she was a child, without restraint. This time, she was tightly restrained all the way to the Wu Dynasty to get married. The naughty princess escaped from the post house while the people around her were not paying attention, and went for a walk on the street alone. disaster.

The efficiency of the Fanbang mission was also high. After finding out that the princess was missing, they immediately contacted the guards around the posthouse of Wu Dynasty and went out to look for the princess. Because the battle here was a bit big and there were many people watching the excitement, it was easy for the mission to leave. Found the slipping princess.Hearing what the princess told about what happened just now, the envoy immediately brought the princess over to thank the benefactor.

One of the two women is pretty and lively, the other is gentle and delicate, and the other is dragging a benefactor and thanking her non-stop.Seeing all the young ladies on the side gritted their silver teeth, why did I think of the strategy of being a hero to save the beauty and promise each other with my body! !

Just when the veins on Gu Xingji's forehead were throbbing, and his patience was about to run out, Song Xuan squeezed into the crowd in time, "My subordinates will see His Royal Highness King Ning, General Qu!"

As soon as Song Xuan revealed the names of the two, the women who were watching the fun just wanted to replace them with their own bodies, but now they have turned into gloating.Many of them are the daughters of the courtiers. Although the affair between King Ning and Duke Huguo's uncle was suppressed in time by the first emperor, the courtiers would talk to their wives and children when they got home, so these young ladies are rare. know the relationship between the two.Especially when King Ning gave such a high-profile betrothal gift, and the betrothal gift was carried back and forth several times, it was difficult for others to know.It's just that both of them are reclusive people, and the common people, especially the women in the boudoir, don't know what they look like.

However, the story of King Ning and General Jin He was also rumored in the capital. Needless to say, the two girls were dressed in Fanbang, so they definitely didn't know about it.The other one, seeing that shy and timid way of glancing at Qu Yu secretly out of the corner of his eye, must be someone who doesn't know.It's hot now!The people around were watching the excitement, and they all stared at the two men and two women in the middle of the crowd with excited faces.

Song Xuan deserved to be Gu Xingji's confidant bodyguard, he could tell at a glance that his master was going to explode.Immediately, he winked at the people around him, and dragged the weak lady beside Qu Yu aside, indicating that the guards would personally escort her home.Due to the noble status of the princess, Song Xuan could only go up in person, "The princess is frightened, please allow me to escort the princess back to the post house!"

Song Xuan's words were neither humble nor overbearing. If the princess herself was there, she might not be able to hear her at all, but the head of the mission they lead is here!The princess sneaked out, it was her own fault, and now I can't blame others for being rude, not to mention that there is no rudeness at all!

When the protagonist left, the spectators also dispersed.That night, Song Xuan went back to Prince Ning's mansion, "My lord, the woman General Qu rescued today is the daughter of Prince Leping in the south of the Yangtze River."

Gu Xingji frowned, "Why are there so many women in the capital recently?"

Song Xuan curled his lips secretly, "It's not because of the emptiness of the new empress's palace!"

"Nonsense, the first emperor died less than a year ago, and he started thinking about stuffing women into the emperor's harem?" Gu Xingji said that he didn't understand what these people were thinking.The previous emperor had just passed away, and the new emperor naturally had to be filial as a son of man. He would not draft a concubine for at least three years. What did these people send their daughters to the palace for?Really be a servant girl to serve the emperor?

"Even if it doesn't fit into the emperor's harem, didn't the princes choose their concubines!" Song Xuan whispered.As the eldest prince, King Zhong originally had a daughter-in-law, but later Zhao Yuansheng wanted to launch a palace coup, and at the same time sent someone disguised as a gangster to clean up dissidents. died.There is another prince who got married is the third prince. Unfortunately, because he was too happy before, he lost his sense of proportion. After he ascended the throne, the new emperor didn't stop. He was sent to open up wasteland in the northwest.

After hearing Song Xuan's words, Gu Xingji suddenly had a bad feeling.There was not much movement in the next few days, and Gu Xingji gradually forgot about it.

The envoys from various countries finally arrived three days before the Longevity Festival.The emperor specially set up a palace banquet to express his welcome to the envoys from various states.During the banquet, Xiaobang's envoy, who was rescued by Gu Xingji, proposed to marry Wu Chao, and the two married people were the princess and Gu Xingji!

To be honest, Gu Xingge looked down on these barbarian women, even if the other party was a princess, she was still a barbarian princess, after all, she was still a barbarian!How could he let his brother marry such a woman?Isn't this confusing the blood of the royal family!

However, in front of the envoys of various countries, the emperor naturally would not speak too harshly, "Our dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety. The first emperor has just returned from the west, and King Ning should observe filial piety for three years as a son. The wedding is only a few years away, so don't delay!"

This is a polite refusal, to be selected as the head of the envoy, how could he not have a few crooked intestines?Immediately stopped this topic, and changed to praising the emperor for his heroism.After a palace banquet, at least on the surface, it was peaceful.

On the second day, the emperor received officials and royal family members from all over the country who came to have an audience.As usual, it was another palace banquet.During the dinner, someone raised the issue of marriage again, but this time it was replaced by Prince Leping's eldest daughter Chunhui Princess Chunhui and Jinhe General Qu Yu!

After Prince Leping's words fell, the emperor didn't speak in a hurry, but glanced at Gu Xingji who was sitting on his lower left hand.Gu Xingji remained calm, but the chopsticks in his hand had already been cut in two.

The emperor pondered for a while, and was not in a hurry to reject Prince Leping.There is no suitable excuse to evade this matter. He can say that General Jin He has been betrothed to King Ning, but King Ning will lose face.Secondly, agreeing to Lord Leping is also beneficial.Prince Leping was the late emperor's half-brother. He was very favored back then, so he was able to get the affluent and fertile Jiangnan as his fief.Jiangnan is both a granary and a money jar, and it was given to others for nothing. Gu Xingge felt very distressed. He wanted to get it before he ascended the throne, but King Leping was very cunning, and he didn't leak any details. Gu Xingge spent a lot of effort .

It is rumored that Lord Leping loves this daughter very much. Even if his daughter gets married and wants to be closer to her father, King Leping will build a princess mansion next to the palace.In this way, Qu Yu will be able to get close to King Leping and find the prince's handle.

"This is a good thing, but it needs a long-term plan! I want to ask the man what he thinks!" the emperor said, and King Le Ping toasted happily and returned to his seat.In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with his daughter. It's too late for that brat surnamed Qu to be grateful, how could he not be happy?

After the palace banquet, Gu Xingji wanted to follow the emperor but was stopped by the little eunuch beside the emperor, "Your Highness, the emperor is too drunk, let's talk about it tomorrow morning if you have anything to do!"

Gu Xingge and Gu Xingji are brothers and have always been close. The emperor's success in ascending the throne is entirely dependent on Gu Xingji holding the military power behind him and guarding him. No ordinary eunuch would dare to block Gu Xingji's way.The little eunuch must have got the emperor's order to say that.It's not that Gu Xingji didn't understand, he stared at the little eunuch for a while, until the little eunuch's legs became weak, before turning around and leaving the palace.

Early the next morning, Gu Xingji entered the palace to ask to see the emperor.This time the emperor didn't say no, he even ordered the little eunuch to "please please". "Brother Huang, have you eaten breakfast? I am about to eat, why don't you accompany me to eat some?"

The emperor had spoken, no matter how anxious Gu Xingji was, he could only wait.After having breakfast with the emperor and drinking another cup of fragrant tea, Gu Xingji couldn't bear it anymore, but the emperor stopped him before he could open his mouth.

"I know what the emperor is going to say, but we have to ask the wishes of the parties, right?" The emperor smiled at Gu Xingji.

Gu Xingji wanted to say, "Don't ask, Xiaoyu will definitely not agree!", but although the emperor's words were asking for opinions, his attitude was solid and firm.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long before a young eunuch came to report to General Jinhe to see him.After Qu Yu came in, he gave him a seat, and then the emperor didn't gossip, and directly said what Prince Leping wanted.

Qu Yu looked at Gu Xingji, the emperor mentioned this matter in front of the two, did he want to cancel their engagement?

"Qu Qing's family doesn't need to look at Prince Ning anymore. I have agreed to Princess Mi Yuguo's marriage request, and Prince Ning will be engaged to Princess soon." As soon as the emperor's words came out, not only Qu Yu, but also Gu Xingji looked at his younger brother in amazement Well, didn't Princess Laoshizi's marriage request be rejected on the spot?

Seeing Gu Xingji's astonished expression, Qu Yu guessed what was going on.He got up from his seat, took off a purse hanging from his waist, and knelt down in front of the emperor, "The emperor once promised to let the humble ministers exchange the general's gold seal. Now there is one day left for the Longevity Festival. I don't think there will be any major events. Even if there is His Royal Highness King Zhong and Commander Song can also handle it very well, so I implore His Majesty to allow this humble minister to return the golden seal."

The emperor looked at Qu Yu for a while, then raised his hand to signal the people around him to take back the general seal, "Okay, I have already accepted the gold seal, when will the Qing family marry Princess Chunhui?"

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the princess is of the blood of the royal family, with a body of golden branches and jade leaves. The grass-roots despise a white man, and really dare not stand up to the princess. Moreover, the grass-roots is nominally the grandson of the old lady of the Zhang family. Erlang paid homage to his wife. Caomin traveled thousands of miles to the northwest to find Erlang's body. Thanks to the blessing of their ancestors, Caomin has found Erlang's ashes. Caomin only wants to guard Zhang's family in this life, and fulfill the duty of Erlang's survivor! Qu Yu finished the above paragraph with his head down, without looking at the emperor or Gu Xingji.

"Are you planning to resist the decree?"

"The emperor did not issue a decree to bestow a marriage, so the grass people cannot disobey the order and disrespect." Qu Yu did not give in at all, "Your Majesty, the grass people only want to be the Erlang of the Zhang family in this life!"

"Okay, okay, since you say that you are from the Zhang family, then I will make it possible for you to leave Beijing immediately with Zhang Erlang's ashes, and you are not allowed to step out of the Zhang family's ancestral house without my permission!" The emperor became angry from embarrassment.

"Grassmen thank the Lord Long En!" After saying that, Qu Yu bowed his head, got up and left.

"Brother Huang, did you hear that, he said that he only wants to be Zhang Erlang's man, do you still want to guard him?" After Qu Yu left, Gu Xingge immediately restrained his anger, and asked Gu Xingji with a normal expression.

Gu Xingji was stunned when he heard Qu Yu's words, and then he realized who this "Zhang Erlang" was!Therefore, when he heard the emperor's words, instead of being as angry as the emperor expected, he raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Your Majesty, how can you know the joy of fish if you are not a fish?"

"Even if he has someone else in his heart, does the Emperor still want him? Brother Emperor, you are my only real brother. In this Wu Dynasty, no one can surpass your status except me. As long as you think about it, the gods in the sky will also help you!" Why do you insist on him?" Gu Xingge didn't understand.

"Since the emperor can find anyone, why not find another person to approach King Leping?" Gu Xingji didn't save the emperor's face, and directly pointed out the emperor's careful thoughts. "Your Majesty, I will help you manage the military power in this world for three years. After three years, I hope that the emperor has established a solid foundation." After finishing speaking, Gu Xingji stood up and saluted, "I will retire!"

Gu Xingji who left the palace hesitated slightly, and rode to Duke Huguo's mansion.By coincidence when he went, Qu Yu had already packed up and saluted, ready to go.The two looked at each other from a distance without talking.Qu Yu calmly ordered to set off, and Gu Xingji calmly followed at the end of the team all the way to Shili Pavilion outside the capital.

Gu Xingji reined in the horse's reins at Shiliting and did not continue walking.But Qu Yu didn't call to stop, didn't even look back, just drove forward calmly.

Gu Xingji didn't say goodbye to Qu Yu either, he just watched Qu Yu leave silently.It wasn't until the group of people could no longer be seen that Gu Xingji turned his horse and drove back to Beijing.

On the second day of the emperor's birthday, Gu Xingji attended the emperor's birthday banquet as if nothing happened.In the next month, the missions from various countries left the capital one after another and returned to their own countries. During this period, Gu Xingji led people to patrol the streets as usual.

On the second day after the last envoy left, King Ning claimed to be recuperating from illness, and since then he has never been out of Prince Ning's mansion, let alone the early court.

After persisting like this for a month, the emperor came to Prince Ning's mansion in a micro-clothes, "Brother, are you angry with me?"

"I don't dare!" Gu Xingji bowed respectfully, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, but I just want to feel Xiaoyu's feelings." When mentioning the little daughter-in-law, Qu Yu couldn't help but curl his lips .

"Stupid!" Although Gu Xingge ascended the throne not long ago, he did not lack the aura of a superior person, but the aura that made ordinary people frightened did not make Gu Xingji flinch, he just looked up at Gu Xingge indifferently.

Gu Xingge also looked at his brother standing in front of him, when did it start?How could their brothers become so estranged?The older brother called himself a "weichen" to him, but he scolded his older brother without any scruples.Once upon a time, the reason why he wanted to be emperor was not to keep his brother away from calculations and live a comfortable life? "Brother..." Gu Xingge couldn't help calling out, his eyes full of longing...

Gu Xingji avoided Gu Xingge's eyes, lowered his head and stared at the ground under the emperor's feet.

"Forget it, I will exempt Qu Yu from the punishment." The emperor gave a wry smile and retreated a step, but did not say what would happen to Gu Xingji and Qu Yu's marriage.

"Weichen thanked His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of Xiaoyu!" It was over, the two brothers had nothing to say.The emperor sat for a while and then left.

The emperor's visit did not make King Ning's "illness" any better, and His Royal Highness King Ning still said that he was recuperating in the mansion.Folk rumors continued. Some said that Emperor Ning Wang was at odds with a woman, and some said that Ning Wang was disobedient to the emperor because of a heavy army in his hand, and was put under house arrest by the emperor...

In short, all kinds of rumors continued, but neither the emperor nor King Ning was moved.A year later, the King of Southwest rebelled, and King Ning put on his armor again and went into battle, defeating the King of Southwest.The rumors of discord between the monarch and his ministers are self-defeating.

After the Southwest King's rebellion was put down, King Ning returned to King Ning's mansion to recuperate.Three years after the new emperor ascended the throne, there was peace inside and outside the court, and King Ning passed away suddenly...
