My Favorite Manly Husband

The days when he worked as a editor in Hanlin Garden were quite leisurely. Taking advantage of his duties, Shen Yanbei read a lot of Daqi's history books and gained a deeper understanding of this country.

He was a little surprised when Daqi was founded, it was only a few decades!The emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and extravagant, and the common people had no food to eat, and their bones were frozen to death, which aroused public indignation, and people with lofty ideals rose up one after another.Zhao Yu's grandfather was one of the most resourceful. After he became emperor, he kept the promise of the year, recuperated and vigorously developed agriculture, so that the people had food and clothing, and the country began to be stable.

The second emperor was Zhao Yu's father, Emperor Zhao Xuanwen, whose reign was very short, only a few years.Although Emperor Xuanwen was not as ambitious as his father, he worked hard to implement the previous emperor's policy of governing the country, gradually consolidating the foundation of Daqi, and then he became the current Emperor Jianyuan Zhao Yu.

Shen Yanbei felt that Zhao Yu was an extremely ambitious man.It can be seen from his recruitment of talents, vigorous development of economy, trade and agriculture, and wide opening of Enke.Furthermore, Zhao Yuli and Gu Chang named a pair of sons as the heirs of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, which is even more eye-catching.It is not that there are voices of opposition from the court and the central government on this matter, but although the general has died of illness, his power is still there, and Gu Changfeng himself is well known to the court ministers.

Originally, Duke Zhen was a first-class Duke, not a hereditary successor, and his father's title was downgraded to one level and his son inherited it. It stands to reason that Gu Changfeng, who has become an adult, should also be granted the title directly as a Marquis instead of the Duke's son.But the emperor didn't play cards according to common sense, and still named Gu Changfeng as the son of the Duke's mansion.

If Shen Yanbei were to tell him, Zhao Yu might just want to take advantage of Gu Changfeng's father's remaining prestige.As a founding hero, the general was extremely brave, and he and the first emperor went through life and death to make great contributions to Daqi. Later, he abandoned his family and business and stationed on the frontier. !The general is simply a role model for all soldiers!Zhao Yu’s move is intended to show his benevolence and respect to the general to the millions of soldiers on the frontier——Although the general is gone, I still remember the great achievements of the general and everything he has done for me. The Great General will always live in my heart, so I named his son the crown prince.

Is it the emperor's land in the whole world, just a title, it's nothing to Zhao Yu at all.It's a good deal to win the hearts of all the soldiers on the frontier with one title, isn't it?

The above is Shen Yanbei's conjecture, but Zhao Yu's actions confirmed this conjecture.

Zhao Yu summoned Gu Changfeng.

That day when the ceremony of passing on the family was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the general Shen Yanbei saw with scars on his body and face was named Tai Qigang.When he returned in response to the imperial edict, he happened to meet with the uploading ceremony, so he also attended.

When Zhao Yu asked Gu Changfeng to enter the palace, Tai Qi happened to be in the imperial study.The moment he saw Gu Changfeng, the eyes of this tiger general who was over half a century old instantly turned red.

"The humble Tai Qi just met the prince!" Tai Qi just clasped his fists, his voice hoarse.

As the general's confidant and beloved general, Tai Qigang respects the general very much.When the great general died of illness, he grieved for a long time.Because the border news was blocked and the road was far away, when he learned of Gu Changfeng's accidental death, it was already two months later.Tai Qigang was shocked, it's not that he never thought of sending someone to look for Gu Changfeng.But at this time, it had been too long since the accident happened, and the Zhen Guo government had already announced Gu Changfeng's death and disappeared, and erected a tomb for him.Although he was heartbroken, he could only accept it.Later, the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo was born, a boy, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that the great general's bloodline would finally continue.

A few days ago, the emperor summoned him back to Beijing, and only then did he learn that Gu Changfeng was still alive!It's not that he doesn't want to meet Gu Changfeng, it's just that his identity is sensitive. Before the emperor made a statement, he couldn't act in private, so he never showed up.

A few days ago, the emperor announced to the world that Gu Chongxiao, the eldest son of the Liguo Duke's Mansion, was the eldest son of the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion. He was both surprised and delighted.Surprised by Zhao Yu's unexpected move, delighted by Gu Changfeng's ability to inherit his father's career!

Seeing that Gu Changfeng's brows are resolute and steady like his father's, the excitement in his heart is beyond words and can only be expressed in one sentence.

Gu Changfeng was startled, and hurriedly said: "Chongxiao has seen the general!"

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down." Zhao Yu rubbed his brows and said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Changfeng thanked Li and sat down.

"General Tai, please explain the situation again." Zhao Yu looked a little dignified.

"Yes!" Tai Qigang immediately said to Gu Changfeng: "The internal situation of the barbarians has changed, and they are afraid to attack with troops."

Barbarians are not the name of a country, but Daqi's collective name for the tribes on the grassland.

The barbarians lived in the north for a long time. They lived by herding horses and sheep, and lived by water and grass.Its folk customs are tough, brave and warlike, and even women and twins can go to the court to make gestures.The barbarians are a nation that grew up on horseback, and their ability to fight on horseback is extremely powerful.Relying on iron cavalry, the barbarians often invaded the border repeatedly after the autumn harvest. Wherever they went, they looted, burned, killed, and looted, even babies, and the methods were extremely cruel.In the last few years of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the barbarians took the opportunity to enter Guanzhong and occupy several counties.Later, Zhao Yu's grandfather proclaimed himself emperor and established the country, and ordered the general to send troops to drive out the barbarians.The general led an army of 15 to fight the barbarians, and only then drove the [-] barbarian cavalry out of Daqi.

But the barbarians are the most humble weeds, they will grow again in the spring breeze without cutting the roots, and they will attack again when their vitality recovers, posing a powerful threat to the Daqi regime.As the person in power, Zhao Yu naturally couldn't tolerate it.

Last winter, several major tribes of the barbarians fought in a melee, but it was freezing cold, the sky was full of ice and snow, and most of the soldiers had frostbite, so it was inconvenient to send troops.Moreover, the largest tribe, Ulatuo, sent envoys to marry Daqi with his noble daughter and conclude a Qin-Jin friendship with Daqi.Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China appeared the main war and the main peace faction.But now the situation has changed, and King Ulatuo is actually dead!

The other party was King Ulatuo's nephew Uso. Because he was dissatisfied with the peace agreement between King Ulatuo and Daqi, he simply joined forces with other tribesmen who had long been dissatisfied with King Ulatuo's cowardice and could not accept bowing to Daqi, and assassinated King Ulatuo.This person proclaimed himself king, and quickly married the princess of Longgetu, the second largest tribe in the grassland, and united with Longgetu to annex other small tribes. His prestige is so high that he is expected to become the new generation leader of the grassland.

This man has a lot of ambitions, if he really unites the tribes of the barbarian countries, it will definitely become a big problem for Daqi.

Taking precautions, after Zhao Yu received the news, he immediately called Tai Qigang back to the court to discuss countermeasures.

In the past few years, Daqi has recuperated and recuperated, and his military strength is not abundant.If you want to fight the barbarians, you have to conscript.But now it is spring, and the people are busy with spring plowing, so they cannot conscript.When the army was conscripted in the autumn, the barbarians were already strong.At that time, before the recruits of Daqi had been trained, the barbarians could lead their cavalry south to attack Qi again.

"What's your opinion?" Zhao Yu asked in a deep voice.

Gu Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, and said: "I think I still have to be drafted."

Zhao Yu didn't change his face, listening to him continue.

"Our court stipulates that all young and middle-aged men who have reached the age of seventeen must serve in the military. If the imperial court conscripts, each household must have one male. But the current situation is special. I wonder if there is another way to recruit recruits?" Gu Chang Feng stroked his thoughts, and said: "Can mandatory conscription be changed to recruiting? Voluntary registration, and corresponding rewards for applicants..." Shen Yanbei said that if you want to achieve a certain goal, you may change your thinking It might be easier to do.Just like his pickled capers and radishes, if they are only sold as fresh vegetables, the price is not high, but if they are packaged in a different way, they can be sold immediately.

As soon as Tai Qi's eyes lit up, Zhao Yu nodded: "It's possible." The people of Da Qi, each household has more than one male, and if they voluntarily join the army, there will be generous rewards, which will naturally attract redundant labor to sign up.It's just that how to set up this reward still needs to be considered.

Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Yu's next words made him stunned.

"Is your son willing to lead the recruits to the border for training?" Zhao Yu looked at him calmly and said.

"Chen..." Gu Changfeng opened his mouth, knelt down slowly for a while, his eyelashes drooping, and said, "I obey the order."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "It will take some time to recruit soldiers. During this time, the prince should prepare well."

"Yes, I will leave." Gu Changfeng turned around and walked out of the imperial study with heavy steps.

When Shen Yanbei comforted him that day, if he felt ashamed of his father, he would go and finish what his father hadn't finished. He thought that one day he would wipe out the barbarians and report to his father that he was in heaven, but he never thought that this day would come so soon. Come……

"Sir!"

When Gu Changfeng was about to leave the palace in a daze, a rough voice stopped him.

"General." Gu Changfeng regained his senses, and met Tai Qigang who rushed over in a hurry.

Tai Qi just waved his hand, with a smile on his weathered face: "Don't laugh at me, son, there is only one general, and that is your father. You should call me Uncle Gang!"

Gu Changfeng just smiled.Tai Qi just patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "My son, please listen to Uncle Gang! Before the general, he hated the barbarians the most. He once swore that he would never let the barbarians step into our Daqi territory. As the son of the general, I hope you It is the will of the father not to forget, and don't let the emperor trust you."

Gu Changfeng's eyes flickered: "I understand."

"The emperor asked me to get up and go to the border to monitor the actions of the barbarians, and I will wait at the border for your grandson!" Tai Qigang said.

Gu Changfeng's expression became serious, and he said sternly, "Okay, Uncle Gang, have a good journey."

Tai Qi had just hugged his fists towards him, and then left in a hurry.

Looking at the sky, Shen Yanbei is about to go down.Gu Changfeng went to the Imperial Academy without even thinking about it.

When Shen Yanbei walked out of the gate of the Imperial Academy, he saw Gu Changfeng standing tall under the cypress tree outside the Imperial Academy from a distance.The man pursed his lips slightly, his resolute and cold face was expressionless, and his dark eyes were staring at something in a daze.

"Huh!" Ouyang Yue, who was traveling with him, saw Gu Changfeng's subtle eyes.On the night of the Qionglin Banquet, he saw Shen Yanbei touch and kiss this man with his own eyes, but he didn't see it very clearly at night. Now that Gu Changfeng is in front of him, he can see it clearly, and he can't help but Mutter.With this body, he can be hit with one fist.

"Long seal!" Shen Yanbei was very pleasantly surprised.His wife actually came to pick him up from get off work!He walked over quickly: "Why are you here?"

"I want to see you." Gu Changfeng whispered.Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows, turned to Ouyang Yue and said, "I'll go first!"

Ouyang Yue laughed dryly.Seeing the two walking side by side in an intimate manner, I felt emotional.This number one scholar is extraordinary, and his hobbies are different from ordinary people!

Sensing that Gu Changfeng was depressed, Shen Yanbei couldn't help pulling him back: "Unhappy?"

Gu Changfeng shook his head, met his caring eyes, and said sullenly: "The emperor asked me to lead the recruits to the border for training..."

Shen Yanbei was startled, and after he understood what had happened, he frowned first and then relaxed: "This is a good thing. After all, you are going, instead of going with the guards in the name of the son of the Duke of Zhen, why not Walking with the recruits makes it easier to integrate into the soldiers."

Gu Changfeng remained silent.Shen Yanbei held his hand and asked softly, "Are you worried about me?"

Gu Changfeng looked at him and gave a soft "hmm".He was more afraid of making Shen Yanbei worry than he didn't want to leave Shen Yanbei.

"I am indeed worried, but I am even more worried that you will leave regrets in your heart." Shen Yanbei smiled slightly, "You must be extremely mighty when you wear armor and ride a horse to kill the enemy!" He has always regarded Gu Changfeng as a A real man, a man should be responsible.So he will not stop Gu Changfeng from doing what he wants to do.

Gu Changfeng's heart was moved, and his face softened.

Although Shen Yanbei's words were beautiful, in the next few days, he tried his best to think of ways to reduce casualties on the battlefield, and after all the experiments, he wrote down the useful ones to Gu Changfeng.Before Gu Changfeng could look at it in the future, Zhou Yu told him that they had found evidence that the child was not the son of the great general!
