Reject cannon fodder with the system [Rebirth]

Before Jiang Ting and the others arrived at the racecourse, Du Yanshan had already arrived in Yuanjing.

He rode a horse and stood at the gate of Yuanjing City, staring at the white gauze on the city wall in a daze, was he a step too late after all?

Du Yanshan had foreseen the early death of the emperor in that strange dream. He did not expect that the emperor in reality would die earlier than in the dream.

He couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, maybe he had prepared for it long ago, there was no accident, but he was a little more melancholy.

When he met the emperor for the first time, he was still an ignorant child.At that time, the old emperor had just passed away, and the prince was pushed to the throne by the ministers before he could reach the crown.

At the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, Du Yanshan stood behind the crowd, and the national teacher took his hand and pointed to the bright yellow figure above and said: "That is the emperor, and you will assist the person for the rest of your life."

Du Yanshan raised his head to look at the thin young man standing on the high platform, and firmly engraved the teacher's words in his heart.

It was many years later when I saw the emperor again. The 15-year-old Du Yanshan was outstanding in talent and appearance, famous all over the city, and he was officially received by the emperor for the first time.

The emperor in front of him was no longer the boy in his memory. He lost his childishness and became a tall and strong emperor, worthy of trust and loyalty.

The emperor is indeed a rare wise king. He has solved many problems in the past few years, not only alleviating the decline of the Shuo Kingdom, but also improving the overall national strength of the Shuo Kingdom.

After the old old national teacher resigned, Du Yanshan became the youngest national teacher in the history of Shuo Kingdom.They are like-minded and want to carry out a thorough reform of the decadent Shuo Kingdom.

The emperor gave Du Yanshan enough power and let him do it. Their plan was originally contrary to the ideas of many old ministers, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction and made many enemies back and forth.

Du Yanshan understood that the emperor regarded himself as the biggest target, but he didn't have any complaints, instead he was willing.

Eat the king's salary, be loyal to the king, share the king's worries.

This is what Du Yanshan's mentor taught him since he was a child, no matter what he does, the emperor and Shuo country should be the first.

"You have to remember," the old national teacher called Du Yanshan to the bed before he died, and stroked the top of his hair with his bony hand, just like when he was a child, "You are alive in this world. It is to live for Shuo Kingdom."

"Disciples keep in mind the teacher's teachings."

After Du Yanshan finished speaking, the old national teacher had died.He kowtowed three times to his teacher's body, his eyes were dry and astringent, but he couldn't cry.

When I live in this world, I live for Shuo Kingdom.

Du Yanshan got off his horse at the city gate and walked slowly into the city gate. After days of running around, he was very tired, and the wound on his shoulder was also aching.

Now the emperor he wanted to assist was gone, no prince had been born in the harem, there were only three princesses, and the ministers would support a new emperor soon.As expected, the new emperor must be Li Wang.

King Li is the younger brother of the first emperor, who has been entrenched in Beizhou, colluding with the old courtiers who are dissatisfied with the reform.

This is also one of the reasons why Du Yanshan hurried back to Yuanjing.

The last order that person gave him was to take the secret edict to find the missing eldest son of the emperor.

According to the report from the secret guards he sent out, the eldest son of the emperor had already found his whereabouts. He returned to Yuanjing regardless of the danger this time in order to stabilize the overall situation and pave the way for the eldest son of the emperor to return to Beijing.

The sky was gray, and the streets and alleys that had been bustling in the past were silent, and white cloth heads were hung on the door of every household, which looked lifeless.

The huge and cumbersome city gate was closed tightly, and it was the very season, and the gate was guarded by heavy soldiers.After his entourage showed the access token to the gate guards, the guards signaled to the sentinels on the city wall, and the soldiers inside the gate moved the latch and opened the gate forcefully to both sides.

Du Yanshan straightened his clothes and straightened his back, all the fatigue just now was gone.

Afterwards, he strode into the city gate in the posture of the national teacher of Shuo Guo.

A few days later, Jiang Ting and the others finally returned to the racecourse.

Dong Guoji got the news of the emperor's death from Yuanjing a few days ago. He couldn't sleep or eat for a few days. The ground is not working.

Thinking that he might have to be with this group of stinky horses for the rest of his life, he felt aggrieved.When the emperor died, I am afraid that Du Yanshan was still fighting with Lei Bo at the border, but he was not around as the emperor's confidant. Does this mean that Du Yanshan is about to fall out of favor?

As a faction of the national teacher, he will definitely make many enemies in the court. He was willing to go to Du Yanshanmi at the beginning to gamble, for the sake of future prosperity.But the emperor who supported Du Yanshan had passed away, and Du Yanshan lost his biggest backer and asylum.

The previous emperor did not have a prince, so the throne fell into the hands of several princes. As far as Dong Guoji knew, none of those princes had a good relationship with Du Yanshan, and the most promising emperors, Prince Li and Prince Ming, were both friends. hostile conservatives.

Thinking of this, Dong Guoji was secretly thankful that Yuanjing's national division faction would be purged, and he would not be implicated in this remote racecourse, but his future would be completely ruined.

After Jiang Ting came back, Dong Guoji naturally didn't look good.

"Are you willing to come back?" Dong Guoji sat on the stool with tea in his hand, waiting for Jiang Ting with a sullen expression on his face.He gently blew on the hot air above, took a sip and poured the tea directly on the ground. "How do you drink it when it's so hot?!"

The groom next to him bowed his head in silence, made another cup of tea and brought it to Dongguo Jishui.In the past few days, Dong Guoji simply smashed the jar, exposed his true nature, and stopped pretending to be the kind-hearted servant.

"My lord, I'm going to report to the Master of the State Teacher," Jiang Ting said.

"What letter to report?" Dong Guoji's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.Sure enough, this kid has a relationship with the national teacher in private!

"I accidentally discovered Ran Guo's secret agents hidden in the barracks. They have mastered the movements of our army, so as soon as our army sent troops, Ran Guo's soldiers retreated."

"Oh? Then why didn't you tell General Lei, but went after the national teacher by yourself?" Dong Guoji asked.

"After the little one thought about the identity of the spy, General Lei and the national division had already set off to encircle and suppress the enemy army, and the little one would drive after him when he was in a hurry."

That day, in fact, Jiang Ting left suddenly to inform Du Yanshan that there was a problem with the horse, but he can't reveal the truth to Dong Guoji now. Good times passed.

As for Du Yanshan, Dong Guoji and him will not be able to meet each other for a while, so they can only follow the plan.

"Your ability to take credit is not small." Dong Guoji snorted coldly. It seems that Jiang Ting has made a contribution in front of Du Yanshan again. It is unreasonable to punish him, but he is afraid that Jiang Ting will be spoiled in the future. Pride, ride on your own head.

"The younger one is the same as Mr. Dong Guo, all of them want to share the worries of Master Guoshi, but the younger one left his post without authorization this time, and he is willing to be punished."

Dong Guoji was thinking about whether to punish Jiang Ting, but he heard Jiang Ting said that he would be punished voluntarily. Since the other party gave him a step down, he didn't have to do too much to prevent any accidents in the future.

"Well, then I'll fine you twenty sticks, as a warning to others, and remember to discuss with me before making a decision, do you understand?" Dong Guoji deliberately emphasized the following words.

"Little one, understand!"
