It is said that I was cannon fodder

When Gu Jinyu came with Gu Xiang'an, she saw Chu Yechen very close to a painting, as if she wanted to see clearly who the painting was.

This painting was drawn by Gu Jinyu recently. On it is a young man half lying on a bed of clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, which makes the young man's face half hidden and half visible. Fairies in the clouds.

And the person in this painting is none other than himself, to be precise, the self in his previous memory.

Chu Yechen seemed to notice someone coming in, and asked dreamily, "Who is this?"

Gu Jinyu narrowed her eyes slightly, seeing the confusion and pain in Chu Yechen's eyes, her heart moved, "Do you know him?"

Chu Yechen shook his head, "No, I just feel very familiar, but I can't remember when I met him."

After a pause, he asked again, "Who is he?"

Gu Jinyu said calmly, "I don't know, I just dreamed about this scene one day, so I drew it."

Chu Yechen seemed to accept his statement, and no longer entangled in it, "This person's face is not clear, maybe I have seen a similar person a long time ago, by the way, is this your Highness?"

Gu Jinyu nodded and gestured to Gu Xiangan.

Just now, someone in the palace had taught him the etiquette of apprenticeship, now Gu Xiangan saluted in a regular manner, with anticipation and curiosity flashing in his big eyes.

Gu Jinyu signaled to Chu Yechen to take someone to teach in the Shang's study, and he stood in front of the painting, thinking for a long time.

Although there was too little evidence to make a conclusion, he guessed that Chu Yechen also knew him, or was familiar with him.

But this one seems to have no memory, and he doesn't know how to restore the other party's memory. Of course, if he really knows the method, he must do everything possible to prevent the other party from remembering everything.

If Chu Yechen really knew him, who would know if it was an enemy or a friend?He will not entrust his own safety to the momentary goodwill of others.

Of course, he can also find a way to wake up Qi Ran's memory, anyway, he has woken up once, and it doesn't matter if it happens again.The other party probably knew Chu Yechen's identity, but in the last world, he didn't ask, and the other party didn't say anything. It seems that the relationship is not too harmonious.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. He didn't have to worry about having too many debts. These one or two were all mixed up with him. Maybe a fight would break out one day, and he could still take the opportunity to run away.

Chu Yechen, who left with Gu Xiangan, didn't know that Gu Jinyu had started thinking about dangerous things in his mind. He did care a little about the person in the painting, but after Gu Jinyu appeared, the surging emotions in his heart subsided a lot. The impulse that supported him to explore the identity of the person in the painting disappeared.

But it's not that he doesn't care about it anymore, it's just that his intuition tells him that continuing to explore will lead to bad results, so he gave up.

After making the decision, he only felt his heart relax, and he relaxed a lot, and began to teach Gu Xiang'an seriously.

As he taught, he nodded secretly.

Gu Xiangan's foundation is poor, but he has a flexible mind and can learn things quickly. If Chu Yechen is a simple gentleman, he will naturally be very satisfied with such a student.

But he is not, and Gu Xiangan is not an ordinary student.

Chu Yechen paid more attention to Gu Xiang'an's character. He was worried that the child would be left unattended for many years and would be raised by those slaves.

At that time, if a white-eyed wolf is raised to attack Gu Jinyu, that would be bad.

The little radish-headed Gu Xiang'an was naturally no match for the old fox Chu Yechen, and it didn't take long for him to get rid of his old background.

Chu Yechen also heaved a sigh of relief. Although Gu Xiang'an was early-witted, but because of the protection of Furong, his temperament was not bad, and he had a good impression of Gu Jinyu who rescued him from the cold East Palace.

Every day after school, he would go to Gu Jinyu for dinner, and Chu Yechen would follow behind for his own benefit. Now, when he saw his sweetheart, he didn't need to make extra excuses.

This day was also the same as usual, Gu Xiangan quickly ran to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a little surprised that there were no other guards outside the door, and the door was even more tightly closed, but there were still candles in the room.

He didn't think too much in his little head, he just pushed the door open and went in, only to see a strange man pushing his uncle against the wall, the two of them were very close, their clothes were messy, and they were panting rapidly.

Gu Xiang'an thought that the emperor's uncle was being bullied, his eyes turned red immediately, and he ran over angrily, shouting and trying to beat the villain away.

"Let go of the emperor! You bad guy!"

Gu Xiang'an's small arms and legs can't hurt Qi Ran at all, but in this case, he can't do what he wants to do.

Some dissatisfied looked at the little brat who was still punching and kicking him, because he had not long since come down from the battlefield, his evil spirit was very terrifying, now that the breath escaped a little, Gu Xiangan was so frightened that he sat down on the ground directly.

Chu Yechen, who had already fallen not far behind Gu Xiangan, came in and saw Gu Jinyu's disheveled appearance, and vague red marks could still be seen on the open neckline.

And the person beside him was very familiar to him.

He felt a sudden pain in his heart, but when they looked over, he still tried his best to show a nonchalant smile, walked over and hugged Gu Xiangan who seemed to be frightened.

"Your uncle is reminiscing with old acquaintances, let's go outside and wait."

Seeing the person leave, Gu Jinyu kicked him, pointed to her messy clothes, "You made it, fix it for me."

Qi Ran leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then leaned on his neck and took a deep breath, saying, "I miss you."

"Oh, I know." Gu Jinyu inexplicably felt a little regretful.

Qi Ran didn't know what Gu Jinyu had been thinking about before he came back. Although he thought his tone was a bit strange, it didn't look like something had happened, so he didn't ask.

He continued to dawdle on Gu Jinyu's body, a bit like a big dog hugging its master and refusing to let go. Finally, under Gu Jinyu's urging, Fang tidied up the appearance of the two of them.

When Gu Jinyu let Chu Yechen in, the latter had already adjusted his facial expression, and explained to Gu Xiangan who Qi Ran was by the way.

At this moment, Gu Xiangan realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, and said with some anxiety: "I'm sorry, Uncle Huang, I shouldn't rush in recklessly today."

Gu Jinyu glanced at Qi Ran. If he hadn't driven all the palace people away, Gu Xiang'an wouldn't have broken in so smoothly. He wouldn't have blamed Gu Xiang'an. After comforting him, he asked the palace people to send him away. Back to the East Palace.

Immediately, there were only Gu Jinyu and the other three left in the hall.

Qi Ran waited, but seeing Chu Yechen leave, he couldn't help but said: "It's getting late, the Prime Minister should go back."

Although he is far away at the border, he is not ignorant of anything, and it is precisely because he is worried that his sweetheart will be robbed by others that he conquered several other countries so quickly.

Chu Yechen ignored the coldness in Qi Ran's eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, how can King Jing'an go overboard?"

"Didn't the Prime Minister see my relationship with His Majesty?"

"No name, no points, who knows who will have the last laugh?"

The two confronted each other, neither would let the other, and finally said in unison: "Your Majesty, who do you think should go?"

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other, then turned their eyes hostilely, and looked at Gu Jinyu expectantly.

Gu Jinyu, who was the focal point, said leisurely: "Prime Minister, please go back, King Jing'an is the same, the army will only enter the city tomorrow, so don't give in at this time."

After hearing these words, Chu Yechen's mood instantly turned cloudy, while Qi Ran's mood turned cloudy, and he tried to comfort himself. Gu Jinyu was thinking about him, and at least he didn't stay alone, which shows that Chu Yechen was not that important to him.

Gu Jinyu, who sent these two away, didn't have many complicated thoughts, he just wanted to have a good dinner, and those two people who would cause trouble, it's better to get rid of them as soon as possible.

At about three o'clock the next day, Qi Ran led the army into the city, and the people of Chang'an City lined the road to welcome them, and there was a sound of warm celebration, but he had no time to take care of it, he just wanted to see the person he had been thinking about for months.

It was really irritating to be disturbed yesterday before being gentle for a moment, but today he will die by Gu Jinyu's side no matter what.

The news that Qi Ran went to meet the emperor immediately after returning to the city spread quickly, and all the officials paid more or less attention to this matter, and then found that King Jing'an did not leave after entering the palace.

The minds of these ministers became active, guessing what King Jing'an wanted to do, whether the day would change again when they woke up.

Of course, a few ministers began to speculate about the relationship between King Jing'an and the emperor. Well, it is said that the previous two princes fell into trouble because of masculinity. It is not impossible for the new emperor to love masculinity.

Chu Yechen, who was the only one who knew the exact truth, smashed a set of teacups he had cherished for a long time after hearing the news, and couldn't sleep all night.

One night passed, and all the ministers went to the court with delicate thoughts, and soon found that there was no major change in the court except for the return of King Jing'an. Well, the two ministers who followed King Jing'an before the expedition failed to return. died.

All the ministers didn't care about this either. Hearing that the new emperor boasted of King Jing'an's achievements as usual, and then allowed him to make a request, they were all shocked and thought to themselves: The main event is coming!

Qi Ran bowed and said, "Your Majesty's permission, I sincerely hope that I can become His Majesty's wife."

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers were almost petrified, they turned their heads stiffly to look at Qi Ran, and were unable to raise any objections for a while.

And Chu Yechen suddenly went to see Qi Ran, remembering that the other party offered to go to the expedition, and within a few months, he cleared the obstacles for Da Xi... All of these are carefully prepared gifts!

When he saw Gu Jinyu's unsurprised face, he was sure of this, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

That's right, if it wasn't for Gu Jinyu's consent, how could a smart person like Qi Ran make such a request in public?

He lowered his head, hiding the sadness in his eyes.

Gu Jinyu took the reactions of the ministers into his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can make King Jing'an my queen, and you can always accompany me in the palace. I also allow King Jing'an to participate in government affairs, and everything will be as usual."

Without waiting for the ministers who returned to God to refute, he immediately announced that Gu Xiang'an, the son of the former prince, would be the crown prince. How could these ministers not understand that this matter was premeditated?

With the lessons learned by Fang and Shen, no one dares to be the first to oppose when the matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

They hoped that someone would take the lead in opposing it, but unfortunately the prime minister, who was considered active in the past, was extremely silent today, even his back was somewhat lonely, and it was even more impossible to count on King Jing'an, since the other party was one of the parties involved.

When Gu Jinyu announced that Chu Yechen was the prince's tutor and King Jing'an was the prince's tutor, there was no room for change in this matter.

After dealing with her own affairs, Gu Jinyu rewarded those who made great contributions in this battle, including Princess Yuexi, and named him Yingwu King, and his fiefdom was within the scope of the original Jin Kingdom.

When conferring the reward, Princess Yuexi had already changed her name and identity, and deliberately chose a neutral name. Gu Jinyu said that she has made great achievements, and being crowned king is not too much.

Of course, when they later found out that the heroic king was a woman, it was too late to object.

After the early court, the Ministry of Rituals began to prepare for the big wedding between Gu Jinyu and Qi Ran. The emperor's big wedding, especially the other partner was King Jing'an who had just won a big victory. Don't dare to neglect, on the contrary, the grander the better.

And when the news spread, the response among the people was beyond everyone's expectations. The people felt that it was these two who brought them peace and prosperity, and their union as men was a match made in heaven.

Of course, no one knows how much Qi Ran spent to achieve such a situation praised by everyone.

However, with the leadership of the two of them, some men who loved men bravely showed their hearts, which helped many couples in a short time, and the world also lost some poor women.

And on the day when Gu Jinyu and Qi Ran got married, he also received the origin from Gu Mingyu and Meng Yun, which was a double blessing.

After Gu Mingyu was imprisoned, Gu Jinyu sent Meng Yun to him again. Gu Mingyu, who had lost everything, attributed everything to Meng Yun and beat and scolded him frequently.

Meng Yun was weaker than Gu Mingyu in strength, so he could only bear it passively. He was afraid that he would be beaten to death one day. In order to protect himself, he could only feed Gu Mingyu the child Gu given to him by the mysterious person, and he himself swallowed the mother Gu.

His life was better for a while, but soon he found that Gu Mingyu would sometimes break free from the influence of the mother-child gu, and that time was also the worst time for him, and after beating him, Gu Mingyu would give him pain again. medicine.

There were new and old injuries on his body, and when he was most desperate, he thought of committing suicide, but Gu Mingyu found out, and the other party refused to let him die.

To this day, Gu Mingyu heard people talking about Gu Jinyu and Qi Ran's big marriage. Under the aggravation of grief and indignation, he beat Meng Yun to death, and once the host of the mother gu died, he would not be able to survive.

When the palace servants found their bodies that had been completely cooled, they found that one of them had a smile on the corner of his mouth, showing a look of relief, and the other had widened his eyes, as if he didn't expect that he would die like this, and there was still resentment in his eyes.

On such a day of great joy, the palace people did not dare to let the two of them collide with joy. They only quietly asked their superiors for advice, then wrapped the corpse in a straw mat and threw it to the mass grave.

Their deaths didn't even stir up any splashes. The emperor got married and the whole world celebrated together. After that, Daxi flourished day by day under the leadership of Gu Jinyu.

In the first year, the hidden resistance forces in various places were basically wiped out, some outdated systems were removed, and new systems that were more in line with the times were replaced. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the hearts of the people returned.

In the second year, King Yingwu's identity as a woman was exposed, and Gu Jinyu took advantage of the opportunity to propose that the female official system implemented by King Yingwu in his fiefdom be implemented nationwide.

Although there are not many female officials in the fief at the moment, they have already proved that their ability is not inferior to that of men. Although there are many diehards who insist that women should not show their faces too much, they are eliminated one by one by Gu Jinyu's strong means.

He perfected Daxi's imperial examination system, opened women's schools, and established an examination for women to enter the court as officials, giving women all over the world a chance.

In the third year, Gu Jinyu set his sights overseas and promoted the development of the shipbuilding and arms industries.

In the fourth year, Daxi's first large-scale voyage began.

In the fifth year, Daxi's sailing team returned, bringing new civilization and rich products.

Also in the same year, Gu Jinyu chose to leave and entrusted everything to Qi Ran and Chu Yechen, asking them to assist Gu Xiangan who came to the throne.

He is the emperor with the shortest reign in Daxi, but his achievements during his reign are also the most legendary.

On the day of his funeral, the whole country mourned, and the people mourned spontaneously without too much urging.

But in the palace, at the moment he left, the sadness in Qi Ran's eyes almost turned into reality, and turned into a more complicated emotion.

He smiled bitterly silently, and glanced at Chu Yechen, who was still immersed in grief, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He didn't know what he thought of, but in the end he still didn't make a move, turned around and stepped into the deep night.

"If this is your wish..." The bitter voice was inaudible, drifting in the cold wind.
