Fake concubine, real queen

My own daughter said that she missed her father, and He Gu had no choice but to sigh in resignation. He could no longer bother with this little devil about listening to the wall, so he just hugged her in and put her on his lap and said softly, "Why don't you listen to Daddy?" If so, obediently follow Uncle Masano outside?"

As soon as Baoyin was hugged to He Gu's body, he was obviously happy and content, his head rubbed against his arm, and his fleshy short legs stretched out in all directions, then he turned to look at Pei Zhaoheng and said aggrievedly: "Both of you know, You are not allowed to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, and you are not allowed to peek at Daddy and the beautiful Daddy kissing each other. Both of them are not good, but... But since the Pretty Daddy became the emperor, it has been a long, long, long time, and he has not come to the princess mansion to see Daddy and Shuangshuang. Well, Shuangshuang also wants to have a pretty dad."

After complaining aggrievedly, she went to pull Pei Zhaoheng's sleeve.

When He Gu saw this situation, he was slightly taken aback, his breath was suffocated——

He really didn't expect that Shuangshuang came to listen to the corner of the two of them because he also missed Brother Heng, another father. Due to her background, Shuangshuang now has family affection for Brother Heng, which was also facilitated by him. He Gu should be happy, but at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasiness in his heart:

Baoyin knew that her "beautiful father" had become the emperor now, but seeing the coquettish and idiotic expression of the little daughter in front of him, the child was still young, so he obviously didn't understand the meaning of the ninety-five supreme position, Being the emperor's "beautiful daddy", the only difference to her is that she moved from Prince Ke's mansion to the palace, and she can no longer come to see her every day to play with him like before.

... After all, Baoyin's surname is He now, and she is He Gu's daughter. She is the jewel in the palm of him and the "Eldest Princess" who was recognized by the late Emperor. It can't be changed anyway, even if it can be changed, it is impossible to change it to the child born to the current emperor and his brother-in-law who is a man. Since it is a predestined matter, Baoyin is so attached to and dependent on Brother Heng. Did the father who couldn't recognize each other become his sin instead?

The experience of the previous life and the repeated reminders from his grandfather somehow came to He Gu's mind at this moment——

It was his first time as a father, and it was only now that He Gu began to be bewildered and afraid.

It doesn't matter how he congratulates Gu, after all, the great grievances are nothing compared to losing one's life, no matter how verbally and in writing those officials criticize him, they can't scold him for a piece of meat, but Baoyin is different, she is just a Little girl, if these incidents cause trouble again in the future, even if she is only slightly wronged, as long as He Gu thinks about it, he will feel uncomfortable.

He lowered his face, stretched out his hand to hold Baoyin to pull Pei Zhaoheng's fat little hand on the cuff of his robe, and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to call me 'beautiful daddy', and I have never taught you to bark like that. If someone hears it, what will happen?"

Baoyin pursed her lips when she heard the words, glanced at the pretty dad next to her, and said aggrievedly: "...but...but it's clear that a pretty dad is pretty, why can't you call him that? And...and even if both are called pretty dads' Father', isn't it the same that others can't hear? What's the difference between the two called beautiful daddy?"

He Gu was immediately speechless by her words.

Pei Zhaoheng looked amused at the side, stretched out his hand to gently rub Baoyin's hair, and said softly: "...she can be called whatever she wants, what does it matter? Zihuan was never the most open-minded in the past, why is she down now? Are you stuck on such trivial matters?"

He Gu was silent for a while, then asked: "Brother Heng, do you know the rumors about Baoyin's life experience in the court?"

Pei Zhaoheng said: "I know."

He Gu didn't want him to answer so quickly, instead he was slightly taken aback, and said: "Since you know...then..."

Pei Zhaoheng suddenly stopped talking, the emperor looked at He Gu so deeply with his pale peach eyes, there seemed to be a thousand words in it, and he didn't know how long it took before he paused and said in a low voice: " ...Zihuan, after all, you still refuse to believe me."

He Gu choked up and said, "Why did Your Majesty say that..."

Pei Zhaoheng looked at him, frowned little by little, and repeated in a low voice: "...Your Majesty?"

Baoyin also sensed the vaguely uncomfortable atmosphere between the fathers, so he didn't dare to say more, just looked at the two fathers with dull complexions, black and watery There was a bit of worry in the pair of eyes.

Pei Zhaoheng finished repeating the phrase "Your Majesty", but he didn't know which string in his heart was being pulled. There was a hint of anger in the color, but he still couldn't bear it. He just pulled the curtain of the car with a cold face, and called out the After the accompanying internal officials carried Baoyin out, and told them to take good care of the little princess, they closed the curtain and looked at He Gu, saying word by word: "Zihuan has been separated from me these days, do you really think you are I don't even know what you're thinking?"

"If you don't believe me, you always feel that one day, I will make another woman my queen, and that my feelings for you will always change one day. You say you are happy and flatter you, but you are always thinking about it in your heart. When did I go back on my word and become that heartless person who broke my promise, you will quietly take Baoyin and disappear from my world, and you will have nothing to do with me in the future, just be your loyal liver Commander He, who is courageous and brave enough to live and die for the court, can be invincible in this way, isn't it, He Zihuan?"

Pei Zhaoheng looked at him, his voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be knocking on He Gu's soul and the sky, it was almost impossible to ignore, it was deafening, and it was buzzing in his mind, he had never seen it like this before. Pei Zhaoheng had never been questioned word by word in such an aggressive manner, and was so startled that he almost forgot how to breathe, let alone respond.

The emperor's chariot was still moving, and the body was shaking slightly, but He Gu in the carriage was almost forced to retreat by the emperor.

He didn't answer, and when Pei Zhaoheng saw his expression, he confirmed his conjecture even more, knowing that his guess was indeed right, otherwise with He Gu's temperament, after hearing these words, he would never have reacted like he is now.

The young king's chest heaved up and down a few times, as if he had thousands of words in his heart, and he wanted to say nothing, but at the end, he only sighed, and suddenly buried his head in He Gu's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "... Zihuan, why... why can't you try to trust me more... expect more?"

He Gu's brain was still in a state of ignorance, and Pei Zhaoheng's almost coquettish act of showing weakness caught him off guard again. He seemed to have realized what happened just now, and he was a little tongue-tied and wanted to explain, but Just about to open his mouth, when he stretched his muscles, he immediately felt Pei Zhaoheng's warm breath on his neck and his slightly trembling body.

He Gu's mind went blank for a while, and soon his pupils tightened slightly, his tongue was a little awkward, and he said, "Brother Heng...you...are you crying? You...don't..."

He was a little flustered, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should be concerned about what was said to be the center of the matter, or whether he should admit his mistake first. He wanted to pull Pei Zhaoheng up to see if he was really crying, but Pei Zhaoheng didn't. He just hugged He Gu tightly, and He Gu couldn't move with a pair of slender arms. This battle and this stubbornness seemed to be a little boy who found his favorite thing with great difficulty, but was about to be taken away. refused to let go.

Passing through the bustling market outside the carriage, there was a din of voices, but there was a long silence between the two inside the carriage.

In the end, after an unknown amount of time, Pei Zhaoheng finally let go of He Gu when he approached the palace gate, and He Gu immediately looked up at him, and sure enough, he saw that the end of his eyes were slightly red, and his eyelashes were a little wet——

Seeing with his own eyes that Brother Heng was provoked so sad by him, He Gu felt so guilty and distressed that he wished he could confess his mistake to him on the spot and swear to never do it again.

He was anxious and somewhat knotted: "Your Majesty just now... um, Brother Cai Heng said just now, I... I dare to swear, I really never thought about it on purpose, it's just... just..."

Pei Zhaoheng didn't let him explain.

"Sub ring."

He suddenly closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. When he opened them again, his expression became much softer and calmer, and he returned to the handsome and calm Third Highness of the past—or, he is no longer The former Third Highness is now an upright and upright king.

He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if he was talking to He Gu, and also seemed to be muttering to himself: "Zihuan... When I think of my past life, I always feel in a daze, sometimes I think it's not true, it's just Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly can sometimes be so clear, recalling every moment of the previous life waiting for you to reappear in front of me."

"At that time... I always felt that after waiting for you all my life, as long as you can come back to life and appear in front of me with flesh and blood, who can cry and laugh, it would be God's mercy. I should be content and not expect too much."

"So the Taoist priest told me that even if we go back in time, you and I may be strangers in the next life. At that time...but I don't care anymore."

He whispered word by word, He Gu had almost never heard him mention a few words about his past life before, he thought it was just two lives apart, time was long, brother Heng couldn't remember clearly, but he didn't want to listen to him at this moment He said it, but it was clear that he had never forgotten it.

"I didn't care at that time, but I thought that after you came back to life, I wouldn't care... I should be satisfied with the fate I have with you in this life, but I am greedy. The more I want, the more unwilling I become..."

He just sat next to He Gu like this, as if recalling the desserts he ate in his childhood, speaking in a flat tone so that anyone who listens will feel the shocking and unimaginable past life——

He Gu looked at him, and in a trance, it seemed that through the still young body in front of him, he saw the lonely back of the old, chicken-skinned and gray-haired, lonely emperor in his dream.

He said: "Brother Heng... I'm sorry, I'm not... It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I... already... I..."

For the first time in his life, Lord He deeply hated his clumsy tongue——

Naturally, it's not that he doesn't believe in Pei Zhaoheng.

...It's just that after the cunning rabbits and lackeys cooked by the cunning rabbits in the previous life, the birds' best bows and all kinds of betrayals, the fear and defense of the royal family have long been engraved into the bone marrow at a time when even he himself didn't know it. inside.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that his defense and jealousy might only be for self-protection, but when defense became instinct, it became a harm to another person who loved him wholeheartedly.

He Gu figured it out, he looked at Pei Zhaoheng, he had never apologized so sincerely, full of love and guilt.

"I'm sorry, Brother Heng... Whether you believe me or not, I promise you, from now on... I will never do this again."

He was a little nervous after he finished speaking, for fear that Pei Zhaoheng would not believe it, he looked at him and added very seriously: "...really."

Zhai'er's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Commander He, we are going to the palace gate."

He Gu was taken aback, and was about to reply, but was suddenly pulled over by Pei Zhaoheng, who lowered his head and bit his earlobe moderately.

He was taken aback, and caught off guard by the emperor's bite, he gasped with a "hiss".

However, before he could open his mouth to ask Pei Zhaoheng what he was doing, the person on the other side quickly loosened his teeth.

"……Keep your word."

said the emperor.

---------

As soon as he went back to the princess mansion that day, He Gu immediately called someone to call Lan Xiao back from the bookstore, and asked her what happened to the portrait of the flower paper in Miss Yan's book "I and the General Untie the Battle Robe".

This fact was strange, and it happened in his own shop, so he didn't care whether he wanted to or not.

When Lan Xiao came back, she seemed to have guessed that He Gu was going to ask about this, so she had already prepared her speech, and told He Gu vividly that on the first day of the printed story book, a narrow portrait that popped out of nowhere was clipped into it. The manuscript was muddled and printed more than a hundred copies. It was not until one day later that the hundred or so storybooks were sold out that she realized what was wrong and explained it in great detail.

Lan Xiao was very guilty in his words, and his face was full of shame. He repeatedly reflected that he had made such a big mistake because of his slack, and caused so much trouble for He Gu. runny.

She had known about the relationship between the son-in-law and King Ke—that is, the current emperor, so she naturally knew that this matter was no small matter. One head is not enough for her to lose.

Lan Xiao had served in the palace before, so naturally she would not understand this truth.

So she also felt remorse and fear from the bottom of her heart, she only hated that she couldn't go back to the afternoon when the book was printed, and slapped herself who was dozing off and lazy.

But she is so guilty, He Gu can't bear to blame her when he sees it, and the rumors have spread around now, even if Lan Xiao is skinned and cramped, it doesn't make any sense, and Lan Xiao has been taking care of Jingzhong for him in the past few years The family business has been devoted to its responsibilities, and there has never been any concealment or pocketing. The princess's family is getting richer and richer, and the family's wealth is getting richer. Lan Xiao has contributed a lot. Such a thing happened, I don't think she did it on purpose For this reason, He Gu didn't really punish her, he just deducted two months' monthly money, that's all.

It's just that Lan Xiao can let it go, who is the person who put him and the emperor's portrait in the storybook, but it really makes people feel stuck in their throats.

Naturally, Lan Xiao had already searched Wensheng Bookstore back and forth, but it was a pity that he was still unable to find this person.

He Gu had no choice but to give up, but at the end, he remembered something again, and asked Lan Xiao, "Didn't I tell you not to print this script back then, why did you print it again later?"

Lan Xiao hesitated to speak, and finally said after a while: "This... originally... was not printed, but then by chance, it was called Empress Empress... Ah no, the queen mother has seen it once, and said yes, and the emperor will send it later. People came to spread the word, and said that it is enough to seal it, no one dares to find the wrong place in our bookstore, it is nothing serious, the slaves just...just..."

He Gu was stunned when he heard the words, and for some reason, when he came back to his senses, something happened in his mind, and a somewhat unbelievable guess appeared——

He recalled what the emperor had said to him in the car and horse the day before yesterday, and suddenly realized...

...The flower note, couldn't it be that Brother Heng called someone to stuff it into the manuscript, right? !

It's just that this time before He Gu went to the palace to meet him in person to testify, Gong Lizhai's father-in-law suddenly paid a visit and came to the mansion to pass the decree.

Zhai'er was still young, but already had a smile on his face. When he saw He Gu, he smiled even more, and cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to Commander, after today, two princesses came out of this princess mansion, which is even more true." Well deserved."

He Gu was taken aback for a moment——

Two princesses?

Before he could ask a question, Zhai'er corrected his complexion, took out the apricot-colored pocketbook from his sleeve, and said with a faint smile, "Commander He, accept the order."

He Gu vaguely guessed what Pei Zhaoheng was going to do, but this idea was too bold, he couldn't believe it for a moment, so he could only kneel down and bow his head to wait for the oracle.

... When He Guzhen heard the content of the imperial decree with his own ears, he looked up at Eunuch Zhai who was calm and beaming as he passed the decree, and he couldn't help but be impressed by it——

He was blind, as if he hadn't noticed at all what was wrong with the emperor's appointment of a girl not surnamed Pei as the princess of the dynasty, and he was not at all curious about the private affairs of the inner chamber and the relationship between the emperor and He Gu. It is enough to make people sigh, Eunuch Zhai was able to take over his master's class at a young age, and it was not all because he worshiped Wang Zhonglu. Master, it is because of Master's glory again.

It's just that Eunuch Zhai doesn't care about it, but it's impossible for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to ignore it, let alone turn a blind eye to the fact that Princess Fucheng suddenly became Princess Fucheng.

Looking at the ancient and modern world, there are kings with different surnames, but there have never been princesses with different surnames.

What's more, in the previous dynasties, every time there was a king with a different surname, it was because of his great contributions to the country and the country, so that the emperor had to seal it up and reward him. In case of disaster, never dare to do whatever you want.

Why is it that the emperor, just to get close to him, He Zihuan, can make his daughter a princess? Isn't this lawless?

And a few days ago, the rumors of the emperor having an affair with Commander He had already become very popular, just because of the fact that a group of officials in Yushitai urged the draft to be established first, and then they got pissed off and fell down. It only stopped for a few days, and I didn't want to think that the emperor came out again before he was in peace for a long time——

All of a sudden, a stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the government and the public were arguing like a pot of porridge——

That's right, He Gu didn't expect that he thought that he had long been an image of a male vixen who couldn't be washed clean, yet there would be civil servants willing to speak for him.

On the one hand, it is said that state-owned laws should not be ignored; on the other hand, it is said that Fucheng is a little girl, but she is only four or five years old, and the princess only enjoys the blessings and does not hold power. Isn't Fucheng also the child of His Majesty's own sister?What's wrong with being nice to her?

They were arguing fiercely, but Commander He, who was in the center of the eye of the storm, was caught and questioned every time, always asking three questions, with a blank face, so that people couldn't breathe, and punched the cotton , Scolding is not beating, let alone beating (after all, it is impossible to beat him), so the civil servants simply ignored him, and the two factions refused to give in to each other, and their faces were blushing and their necks were thick.

Unfortunately, the person who spoke to He Gu was the second elder brother Wang who just graduated from high school at the beginning of the year and was selected for editing by the Imperial Academy——

Second Prince Wang, you may be modest when it comes to other things, but if you want to compare arguments, it is God who rewards you with food. It is a talent and unique skill brought out of the mother's womb. He has never lost anyone in peeing. The few remaining old censors in Taishuo fought bitterly, and wrote seven or eight letters as long as foot wraps and handed them to the imperial court to scold each other. Debates are very frank, not cheap, not cold.

In the end, the plot ended with Lord Gong of the Yizheng Pavilion, several young editors and editors from the Imperial Academy, and several officials from the Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry gaining the upper hand——

The reason why it is said to have a slight upper hand is naturally because there is another person who ended the dispute.

The emperor seemed to be planning not to scare the courtiers to death, but there was a faint compromise between the ruling and opposition parties who agreed that Fucheng was only a girl after all, and when she was sealed, she suddenly threw a sentence .

"The recent disputes among the ministers are really unnecessary. In my eyes, Fucheng is my child. If she was granted the title of Jin, what does it have to do with men and women?"

Good guy, as soon as these words came out, several elders in Yushitai jumped up in anger, calling out the blood of the Pei clan, and now they are going to be in chaos in this dynasty, stop it!stop!

At one moment he was talking about how sorry he was to the first emperor, and at the other moment he was crying and shouting for the emperor to take back his life, and at the same time he tried his best to go to the palace of the government to bump into the pillar.

It's just that Pei Zhaoheng seems to have been prepared for a long time. The courtiers in the government palace wrapped a thick layer of velvet cushions, and selected more than a dozen strong internal officials to stand guard every time they came to these people. He stared at him with a good eye, so that even if these shriveled and skinny little old men wanted to bump into each other, they could only bump into the warm and generous embrace of the internal officials——

He Gu watched in amazement from the sidelines, and thought to himself that he didn't know how Brother Heng fought wits and courage with these people in the years when he was not around in his previous life, and now he can develop such skills.

It's just that although it's interesting to watch the excitement, it's not what He Gu wanted to ask the whole court to make a mess for him, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Brother Heng will be promoted to make Baoyin a princess. I am afraid that this matter is more or less related to the dispute between the two of them in the carriage when they returned to the palace from Prince Zhong's mansion that day. I think it is because Brother Heng wanted to reassure him and make himself believe in him, so he took such a risk. The world is so big that Baoyin should be given the title of princess.

Even though He Gu didn't care whether Baoyin would be a princess or not, it was hard not to be so considerate and caring for him. He was kind to him, of course he couldn't help but know what was good, so he said very tactfully: "I think this matter ...Is it enough to stop here? After all, they are all elderly, and it is normal for them to be pedantic, or Brother Heng, stop irritating them, and they can't really do anything to me."

When he said this, it was already dark, but the lights in the Lanzheng Palace were brightly lit. Pei Zhaoheng had just come out of the bath, and his body was still wet. Hearing this, he lightly threw a folder in his hand on the imperial case, and said, "It's okay to be scared." Can't be killed, isn't everyone who is old called Qianjiaowei one by one and sent people to follow? It can't scare people to death."

He Gu: "..."

He choked up, and said again: "Although this is the case, but this matter is so big, the relationship between you and me will be spread. You are the king of a country. After all, this is not an honorable thing. It is better to keep a low profile. It's not a problem to make trouble like this..."

Pei Zhaoheng sat down and raised the teacup to flip the lid of the cup, and said calmly: "Let's pass it on, Gaozu appointed a man as the queen, and I didn't see the Yushitai of Gaozu's dynasty, so I was so angry that I smashed the pillar to death. It can be seen that it is not a big deal, just let them make trouble, this little saliva can't drown people."

He Gu had that bad premonition in his heart again. He remembered the matter of asking Lan Xiao about the book a few days ago, and suddenly asked without beginning or end: "...that flower note, could it be Brother Heng?" Did you ask someone to let it in?"

Pei Zhaoheng was drinking tea, when he heard this, he raised his eyes to look at him, the corners of his eyes were bent with a three-pointed smile, and he didn't answer.

When He Gu saw this, he couldn't understand, he fainted immediately, and said: "So it was you who did it, you are..."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Pei Zhaoheng had just mentioned the matter of Emperor Gaozu's son-in-law just now, alarm bells were ringing in his heart, and he couldn't help saying: "Brother Heng...you won't be...you won't be..."

Pei Zhaoheng had already put down the teacup, stood up and walked to his side, saying, "What could it be?"

He Gu swallowed his saliva, and finally whispered: "You won't be, you want to imitate... emulate Gaozu..."

Pei Zhaoheng said: "The matter between you and me, why do you just follow the example of others?"

When He Gu heard this, one head and two grew bigger, and his head hurt even more: "So Brother Heng really intends to..."

... No, the point is that he congratulates someone, but he really doesn't want to be a male queen!

If he went back and let his grandfather and grandmother know that his elder grandson was going to be a queen, wouldn't he be scared to death?

Pei Zhaoheng originally wanted to tease him, but when he saw that He Gu had been tricked, his face was turning blue and white, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Today is only the fifteenth day, and Commander He has been quietly staying in the palace for seven or eight days this month. Although it is safe to have the emperor as a cover, and no one dares to hold him accountable, things have to be measured. , Enough is enough, or... Commander He simply had a sore back, so he left the palace before the key was released.

It's just that he never thought that it would be fine if he stayed in the palace to hang out with brother Heng this day, but he had a rare realization of his conscience, and he said the rules, but he was bumped into by someone on the way to leave the palace.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rituals said that it was almost the end of the year, and that the beginning of next year would be the first year of the new emperor's name change, and there were still some joints to discuss with the emperor about the rituals and rituals. Just happened to bump into Commander He who was walking out while wearing a robe from inside.

The ministers and workers of the Ministry of Rites: "..."

He Gu: "...It's getting late, so I'll spend more time with His Majesty to read the excerpts."

All the ministers of the Ministry of Rites: "... Commander He has worked hard."

He Gu: "..."

How does it feel weird...

Well, in the final analysis, his commander of the twelve guards is only working for the emperor in the Imperial Palace. It is really unnecessary to get off work every day, and he is still reluctant to leave the palace. It is indeed a bit suspicious——

In other words, it may not have been so suspicious before, but in recent days, the court has been arguing about him, and all the ministers are clear in their hearts. Now everyone is making a fuss about whether Fucheng is the princess or not. Princess; in fact, it is not the case. Lizi's troubles are actually caused by the fact that the emperor had an affair with a man, and he was also his own brother-in-law, and he spoiled the He family too much.

Now that I ran into several adults, it would be even more difficult to pick which pot was left unopened, making it difficult for people to pay attention or to think too much about it.

Commander He's head is getting bigger, and he can't help but start to seriously think about when such a day will be a head. Is it really necessary to wait for Brother Heng to make the relationship between the two public and tell the world?

And an urgent letter from eight hundred miles outside the customs, but at this time, was urged by the scouts, and even on the snowy night of the New Year, Zichenghe sent it back to Beijing in a hurry——

The Tartars violated the frontier on the eve of the New Year's Eve, and burned, killed and looted at the northern border. According to this urgent report, by the time Wen Xiuming led the garrison of the Chenghe Camp to fight back, it was already too late. The people were killed and injured countless times, and the seven cities on the edge of Wuling Mansion were devastated.

The worst thing is that Uncle Wen took the lead, and one of them was accidentally shot in the left shoulder by a Tartar rocket in Heitian's chaotic slashing. He almost died in Huangquan. Awake.

Back then when Yang Wenbing was dismissed, and later Luoling promoted a new general, Wen Xiuming led the order to go north and continue to take charge of the Chenghe Camp. Will Liu Jianshan represent the military affairs.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, this happened. At the morning court meeting on the second day, the atmosphere was very gloomy. No one could laugh. Princess, who are you dating these trivial housework again——

Wen Xiuming has led the army for more than ten years, with outstanding military exploits, unparalleled bravery, and almost no defeat. Otherwise, he would not have been treated with the same importance and courtesy as the late emperor. Baiguan is a reassurance, and it is for this reason that now that he has collapsed, it makes people panic.

Wen Xiuming is dying, and it's not that there will be no good generals to use in the Dayue Dynasty, but it's just that it's far-fetched to be transferred to Chenghe to top the tank at this moment, or it's too far away, and you have to cross the river from the south of Lingjiang to the south On the other hand, when we arrive at Chenghe, maybe the day lily over there will be cold; or it is too unsuitable, and we have never been in contact with Chenghe soldiers, and changing generals at the moment may not be able to achieve good results——

The courtiers discussed and discussed, and for a while, they really couldn't find a suitable candidate to go north to save the field. The only one who could barely count on it was Li Qiushan, the commander of the fifth division of the imperial army. It's a pity that he has been guarding Wei Zaijing almost never went out, so it seemed a bit difficult for him to go north to fight the Tartars.

One morning at the court meeting, He Gu heard that all the ministers were vying for recommendations, but in the end they couldn't choose a suitable one. The war in the Northland was imminent and could not be delayed for a moment. Bending down the jade steps beside him, he knelt down and kowtowed: "When I was young, I guarded Chenghe with my father. I also know the landscape of Chenghe and the situation of the Tartars very well. If His Majesty Meng does not give up, I am willing to go to the north to drive out the bandits. Take him into captivity, share your worries for His Majesty."

As soon as he said this, the hall was suddenly silent.

In normal times, there are probably not a few people who refute him, but today they have no better way, so naturally they have to keep silent.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "I am very relieved that you think so, but you are still young..."

Pei Zhaoheng was about to continue talking, but suddenly he saw He Gu, who was kneeling at the bottom, raised his head in the crowd, and he just looked at him straight in that way, with a firm look in his eyes that contained a hint of comfort, mixed with a little An imperceptible faint smile——

With just one glance, Pei Zhaoheng immediately understood what Zihuan meant.

...That's right, in the eyes of others now, Zihuan is indeed still young. Perhaps relying on the right time, place and people, he has had one or two brilliant achievements. It may be convincing, but it is not enough.

But apart from other people, Pei Zhaoheng knows He Gu's past clearly, knows that he used to go through fire and snow, galloped on the battlefield, and was a soldier for half his life in his previous life. In the world, he was the most trustworthy person.

In this world, no one can trust each other more than the two of them.

He looked back into He Gu's black pupils, he just looked at him quietly, was speechless for a short moment, and soon opened his mouth and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, since that's the case, let Qing go, Chenghe camp, the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in the north, today, I will entrust them all to Qing's hands!"
