It is said that I was cannon fodder

Qi Ran's expedition is imminent, but before he leaves Chang'an, Gu Jinyu still has something to deal with.

He left the palace in low clothes, and went back to Jing'an Palace with Gu Jinyu.

"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen the prince." Standing in front of the two of them was Princess Yuexi who was said to have committed suicide.

"Exemption." Gu Jinyu said lightly, "Daxi is about to send troops, are you ready?"

Yuexi looked complicated, "I have a question, I hope His Majesty can answer me truthfully."

"Just ask."

"Your Majesty is a man?"

"Yes, don't you think I'm a woman disguised as a man to deceive the world?"

Yuexi nodded, then shook her head again.

When Gu Jinyu first found her, he came up with a crazy idea.

He wants to use himself to get rid of obstacles in the way, and after Daxi calms down, he will send her back to the Kingdom of Jin as the third emperor brother. As long as she cooperates with Daxi's people to take down the Kingdom of Jin, Gu Jinyu will seal her as the king of history. The first Queen of the Lord, allowing her to display her ambitions.

This deal sounds very exciting, but it is also like a fantasy, and it seems that there is no guarantee at all.

But Yuexi finally agreed. Since Gu Jinyu had explained her plan to herself, she didn't have many choices.

Of course, she is not afraid of death, she was prepared to die in Daxi long before departure, but she was not willing to die in such an obscurity.

And she is very clear that even if the royal family is extinct, those people will not be willing to enshrine a woman as emperor, and what is before her now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if the hope is slim, she is willing to gamble on it. An important reason that prompted her to make this decision is that Gu Jinyu is a woman.

But after the other party ascended the throne, she knew it was just a lie, and her heart was shaken. As a man, would Gu Jinyu really consider women?

she does not know.

"As a man, Your Majesty really wants to see women over men?"

Gu Jinyu knew her hesitation, but she was not angry, and said with a light smile, "In troubled times, those who are capable live, as long as you are capable, princess, why can't you do it?"

After a pause, he continued: "The fall of the Kingdom of Jin is already doomed. In fact, if the Supreme Emperor hadn't been short-sighted and secretly obstructed, Daxi would probably have arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Jin by now. Whether the princess repents or not is irrelevant to the overall situation. But for the princess , but he can protect the people he wants to protect, and the people of the Kingdom of Jin don’t need to suffer more wars.”

Yuexi was silent for a long time, Fang said: "Okay, I will help you."

"This is also helping the princess herself. I believe the final result will not disappoint the princess." Gu Jinyu signaled Qi Ran to go outside and bring someone in, and that person was Guan Boyuan whose hands and feet were bound.

As if not seeing Yuexi's sudden change of expression, Gu Jinyu said: "The third prince will stay until the princess becomes king, and the princess will execute him herself."

"My third brother, he..."

"He knows too much, and he is the mastermind of assassinating the Supreme Emperor. If you don't kill him, why are the people angry?"

"I see." Yuexi turned her head away from Guan Boyuan's desperate and resentful eyes.

They are not brothers and sisters of the same mother, and their relationship cannot be said to be very good, and she is not an indecisive person. On the way to achieve great things, sacrifices are bound to be made. Guan Boyuan.

After everything was arranged, Qi Ran led the army on the journey with Gu Jinyu seeing him off.

The expected tragic war did not happen. After Qi Ran's army took out a weapon called explosives, it showed a one-sided state.

Seeing this, Princess Yuexi cut off her hesitation completely. With the help of the people arranged by Qi Ran, she stole the soldier talisman and opened the city gate to welcome the soldiers of Daxi into the city. After just one month, Daxi took the kingdom of Jin .

But Qi Ran didn't return to the court with this squadron. He directly integrated the surrendered troops of Jin State and attacked Jin State forcefully.

When the news spread back to Chang'an along with the good news, there was a strange atmosphere in the hall.

So when Gu Jinyu flipped through the book, first he saw a lot of praise for Qi Ran, and then most of them accused Qi Ran of being a wolf with ambition and self-respect.

These papers were still trivial things, he casually glanced at them and then put them aside, but in the early court, the ministers were arguing fiercely with each other.

At first, he just listened to it for fun, thinking they were talking about books, but the few words these people were arguing with each other gave him a headache.

Chu Yechen didn't join in. He was aware of the relationship between Gu Jinyu and Qi Ran. Seeing that Gu Jinyu seemed to be listening seriously, but actually didn't care, he knew that this matter was discussed by them.

The reason why he never mentioned it was that he had already seen the proposal to attack the Kingdom of Jin in the court earlier. If he proposed to attack the Kingdom of Jin at that time, I am afraid that even he would not be able to suppress it.

Moreover, as far as he is concerned, the ambitions of these two people are more than that.

However, it's not hopeless. I don't know how they fiddled with that thing called "explosives". It's so powerful that it's extremely suitable for use on the battlefield.

Of course, Chu Yechen was also a little disappointed. Gu Jinyu had never revealed these things to him.

After the loss, he summoned up his fighting spirit again. Now that Qi Ran is not in Chang'an, it is a good time for him to take advantage of it.

When Gu Jinyu was bored, Chu Yechen would stand up and be a peacemaker, trying to maintain peace in the court.

It was not useless for him to do so, at least it raised his status in Gu Jinyu's heart a little bit.

After the morning court, Gu Jinyu was thinking about whether he should sneak out of the palace for a walk, hearing people arguing about the same thing every day, he wanted to find something new to play.

As soon as he changed his clothes, he heard someone tell him that the Empress Dowager wanted to see him urgently.

After ascending the throne, he also gave Concubine Zhen the title of Queen Mother, but it was only a title. Like the Supreme Emperor, she was restricted by Gu Jinyu in the scope of her activities.

The Supreme Emperor is really poisonous, and he will live a good life in a few years, but the concubine Zhen can still live happily for many years. If she is honest and responsible, Gu Jinyu doesn't mind raising an idler there.

Of course, she doesn't want to touch the power of the queen mother at all. Whoever she wants to see needs Gu Jinyu's consent.

Concubine Zhen should bear the corresponding consequences for the choices she made herself, and she also knew that Gu Jinyu didn't want to see her, so she had always been honest, and this was the first time she was looking for him today.

Gu Jinyu thought about it, and thought it would be okay to meet her.

When he saw Concubine Zhen again, he found that she had obviously dressed up, but she still couldn't hide her conspicuous oldness.

Her own son became the emperor, and it stands to reason that she had already won over many concubines in the harem, and she succeeded in having the last laugh.

However, because of a wrong choice, everything became different. Her two children killed each other, one was imprisoned and complained all day long, and the other resented her and was not close to her, even with her mother who was not close to her. Home.

She is still trapped in this cage called the palace, not allowed to be free.

When she saw Gu Jinyu, she was genuinely delighted.She found that he had grown a little taller, looking handsome and upright, with a loose smile on his lips, no longer faintly melancholy as before.

She was a little relieved and a little sad, "Xiao Jin is here, please sit down."

"No, what do you want to say to me?"

Concubine Zhen paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly, "I heard that Wang Gang of Jing'an led his troops to win the battle, not only did he not return to the court immediately, he even turned his head to attack the state of Jin."

After saying this, seeing that Gu Jinyu didn't care about it, she probably had a bottom line in her mind.

"I don't know why you trust him so much, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. King Jing'an is willing to listen to you today, but after a long time, how can you guarantee that he will not change his mind? Don't take out your heart completely and give it to others. You are the emperor now, so you should know how to check and balance, if you let one family dominate, you will be the one who will suffer in the future..."

Gu Jinyu frowned, "That's enough, if you just want to talk about this, then I'm leaving."

Concubine Zhen showed a smile, but tears flowed down, "I'm sorry, it's the concubine mother who is long-winded. It's just that there are some things that the concubine mother doesn't say now, so I won't have a chance to say it. The person I'm most sorry for is you, you and the little concubine. Concubine Yu is my heart, Concubine Mu knew that Xiao Yu had done something wrong, and tried her best to protect you, but Concubine Mu is too useless, in the end no one can protect you."

Looking back, Jinyu listened silently, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen didn't look at him anymore, and said to herself: "Concubine Mother knows that you blame me, and you should blame me. Everything is Concubine Mother's fault. But your aunt and grandmother really love you. Speaking of which, they have always I want you to marry into the Song family because I am afraid that you will be bullied in other people's homes. And Xiaoyu, how good your brother's relationship was when you were young. When the sixth prince bullied you, he secretly went to beat the sixth prince and was punished. Your father punished you to copy books, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish copying... Cough cough!"

The corner of Concubine Zhen's mouth was already oozing blood, Gu Jinyu heard her say: "Mother concubine pays you for Xiaoyu's life, I just ask you to let Xiaoyu go, let him go, go far away, never again will bother you."

Gu Jinyu's face is expressionless. If the original owner is here at this moment, she will probably be disheartened after understanding what Zhenbi means. In the end, Zhenbi will still use her life to plot against him, hoping that he will feel guilty and blame himself, so as to let Gu Mingyu go .

Concubine Zhen never thought about what would happen to Gu Jinyu who forced her to death with her own hands.Even though Gu Jinyu didn't care about Concubine Zhen, she was still disgusted by her actions.

Seeing Concubine Zhen looking at him beggingly, hoping to get his promise, Gu Jinyu sneered and said: "Your son Gu Jinyu was forced to death by you and Gu Mingyu a long time ago, but I just happened to enter this body, even if you What's the use of dying and apologizing? The man has passed away, but fortunately he can't hear you. Don't worry, Gu Mingyu will accompany you soon."

After finishing speaking, he abruptly pulled his cuffs out of Concubine Zhen's suddenly tightened hands, and stopped looking at her again.

Queen Mother collapsed.

The rumor from the palace is that the queen mother went to see the former four princes who were imprisoned, and was lured by him to exchange one life for another, hoping that the emperor would release Gu Mingyu without guilt.

At the same time, some facts that had been covered up before were also revealed. For example, after the former fourth prince accidentally learned that the current emperor was the son of destiny, he sent people to assassinate him many times regardless of brotherhood, and it was the queen mother who covered up his tracks.

The former fourth prince also dispatched his concubine in an attempt to take away the credit of the present majesty's disaster relief. The present majesty tolerated him everywhere, but he didn't know how to repent, and now he bewitched the queen mother to die for him.

The empress dowager's funeral was held in a very low-key manner, and Gu Jinyu had always been indifferent to the empress dowager's death. He was not afraid of being seen to be displeased, and he was not afraid of being scolded for being unfilial by poking his spine.

Those evidences are real, which makes it difficult for those courteous ministers to say anything, after all, the queen mother is too partial.

After the funeral, Mrs. Song came to see Gu Jinyu once. She hoped that Gu Jinyu would forgive her for the sake of the Queen Mother's death.

And Gu Jinyu's reply made her speechless: "She also said similar things before she died, asking me to let Gu Mingyu go, she is trying to take advantage of my guilt, it's a pity, my heart has been tortured all these years Feeling cold and hard, guilty, no, but I will always remember her words."

After the old lady left, Chu Yechen came to him with exquisite and delicious snacks under the pretext of business. After spending time together, he also figured out Gu Jinyu's preferences. He was afraid that he would be too sad, so he deliberately found some new things. Come.

He probably knew something about Gu Jinyu's situation before, but he didn't expect the queen mother to be partial to this, and he felt more pity for Gu Jinyu in his heart. If possible, he wanted to hug her in his arms even more.

In the end, Gu Jinyu kicked him, saying that he was disgusted by his eyes.

Gu Jinyu didn't kick hard, but Chu Yechen followed his force and fell to the ground, grinning facelessly, making Gu Jinyu laugh.

He also laughed, "They have blind eyes and can't see your goodness. Don't worry, I will treat you well."

Gu Jinyu gave him a supercilious look to let him experience it for himself.

Chu Yechen didn't care too much, he just raised the food box and said with a smile: "Su Xin Zhai has a new lotus red bean cake tomorrow, do you want it?"

Gu Jinyu's eyes lit up, and she said in a trembling voice, "Yes!"
