Accompany the prince to study

After hastily finishing the funeral of Mrs. Gu, the entire Xianguo Mansion was rushed into preparations for Situ Rong and Wen Zhuan's wedding.

Brother Xie E was beaming all day long: "It's been a long time since the house has been so lively." His own family hasn't been this happy for a long time either.

Gu Qiao insisted not to let his cousin prepare these, at least not let his cousin participate in the command on the surface.

Because of Daqi, no noble lady would prepare for her wedding by herself.This has nothing to do with gender, but a popular ethos in Daqi - the more valued and loved a child is, the less he needs to worry about wedding preparations.

Neither the groom nor the bride will be involved in the preparations for the wedding. They will at most use their mouths to tell others what kind of wedding they want.

Qiren believes that wedding is one of the happiest states in a person's life.

Steadfastness is a sign of a prosperous life ahead.

This ethos is unreasonable and strange, but it has formed a consensus.Gu Qiao didn't want any vicious rumors that "female generals are not valued by the general's mansion or the Duke's mansion" to spread outside, even though Situ Rong didn't care what others said about her.If she cared, there wouldn't be a unique female general, but Gu Qiao cared.

"I hope that what is written in the history books is that my eldest cousin is the jewel in the palm of the two families, the proud daughter of heaven, she could have lived a life of leisure and prosperity like ordinary noble daughters, but she didn't, she chose to go to Serving the motherland and making great achievements! She is a real great husband, and she has not encountered any setbacks because of her strong character, love of armed forces but not red makeup, and her unique status as a general. Her whole life It’s just smooth sailing, parents are loving, brothers and sisters are respectful, husbands are respectful, happy and healthy!”

Gu Qiao is really fed up with those people who dodge their eyes after seeing his cousin, whispering and pointing that everyone can't hear, and who is inexplicably certain that such an excellent Situ Rong must be when talking about his cousin. There are problems and deficiencies in the field, and she will definitely not have a happy tone in the future.

"We are very tolerant! We will say goodbye to all of them!"

She can do whatever she likes!She is such a handsome girl!She is Gu Qiao's favorite eldest cousin and a well-deserved heroine!

Nobody can dislike her.

"No one will dislike you." Wen Daocheng followed Gu Qiao's words, he was willing to fulfill all wishes for Gu Qiao, no matter what.

"Then do you know how to prepare for the wedding?" Gu Qiao looked at the prince expectantly, there was no doubt that he came to ask for help.

No matter how passionate Gu Qiao said, he had to admit a reality - he didn't know how to prepare a suitable and perfect wedding for Situ Rong.Gu Qiao hadn't experienced this at all before, and among the loyal servants left in his house, there were almost no related experiences. The only uncle Ding had only followed his father to arrange what the man should do at the wedding.

Gu Qiao wanted to find some experienced people to help, but he was at a loss to find that he didn't even know where to find experienced people.Daqi discriminates against men too much in the marriage market.

The reason why she came to His Highness the Crown Prince for help was because Gu Qiao felt that the Crown Prince was omnipotent.If it was because of her own business, Gu Qiao might not be able to speak up.But for his cousin - she deserves the best, even if Gu Qiao doesn't want to trouble others, she will bite the bullet and ask for it.He has already asked Wen Tian, ​​who is the eldest princess's mother, and the old lady of the Zhou family to be his cousin's matchmaker, and also invited a first-line Taoist priest to fortune-tell auspicious times.

Most of the three media and six engagements for the wedding have already been carried out.

Within the scope of the wedding process that Gu Qiao knew, it was best to give Situ Rong as much as possible.

Hearing that Cheng pretended to be pretty, he nodded to say yes, no problem, it's all trivial.But after Gu Qiao left Wenhua Hall after school, Wen Daocheng turned around and begged the Queen Mother. The prince didn't know what the wedding should be like.Like Gu Qiao, his basic common sense is limited to three media and six employments, but that obviously doesn't tell people what a wedding should be like.

Fortunately, the queen mother really knew that although she was still recovering and couldn't bother her, she could point Gu Qiao to some really experienced people to help.

The Empress Dowager's unreasonable friendliness towards Gu Qiao has already aroused a lot of attention and waves in the palace.Even the third prince complained to King Changle several times - "How could he, Gu Qiao Hede, make the Queen Mother like him so much?" Obviously, the Queen Mother had never met Gu Qiao several times.But after waking up from the queen mother, the various rewards to Gu Qiao have not been cut off, especially after hearing that there is still poison in Gu Qiao's body, her old man will send the imperial doctor to take the pulse from time to time , can be said to be very attentive.

That's a little unfair.

What can King Changle say?I can only tell myself in my heart that the person is chosen by myself, and there is no way to return the product, let me accept my fate, no matter how stingy and naive the third prince is, I still have to make do with it, and I can't leave.

In fact, Wen Daocheng was also wondering why the queen mother was so kind to Gu Qiao, and thinking of the strange words the queen mother said when she first met Gu Qiao, it was impossible for Wen Daocheng not to be puzzled.

But before Wen Daocheng could figure out how to get to the bottom of the Queen Mother's secret, another incident broke out hastily and suddenly.

With the support of the remnants of the previous dynasty, the barbarians blatantly tore up the century-old agreement with Daqi. The cavalry went south, detoured to the northwest, and captured a small border town overnight.

Although things are in a hurry, the resurgence of war between the two countries is already a certainty.

The adults who were still asleep in An Ran were awakened by the constant knocking on the door, and rushed to the palace overnight in a hurry, some even put on their clothes while rushing on the road.

General Situ's family, who were on the way, had already hurried back to northern Xinjiang.Half of the dowry that was prepared will be transported to the capital as scheduled. General Situ said that there is no war in northern Xinjiang for the time being, and hopes that his daughter will insist on getting married first in Beijing.

But this was obviously a backup move by General Situ who felt threatened, didn't want his daughter to return to northern Xinjiang, and wanted to leave a spark for Situ's family.

Although now it seems that the barbarians are targeting the northwest, the northern border is the only place for the barbarian army to pass through, and sooner or later it will become the main battlefield.

Situ Rong refused to do what her father wanted her to do.

Fortunately, the imperial court was not completely caught off guard. They had already grasped all the discoveries made by Situ Rong after he entered Beijing, and they knew that the barbarians were in collusion with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and how much important strategic information on the frontier had been held by the previous dynasty. , Emperor Wu has roughly made a psychological preparation first.

Even including the excuse of this invasion, Emperor Wu also guessed it, but Emperor Wu did not know which natural barrier the barbarians would bypass to attack Daqi.

"We will win!"

The people sent by Emperor Wu and Wen Daocheng to follow them, on the day the barbarians launched their attack, destroyed several dens in Daqi territory of the remnants of the previous dynasty that they had mastered before, and found a lot of strange prescriptions in them .

Many of the ingredients in the medicine come from the Southwest where the Bai family guards, and they are a combination of Gu poison and traditional Chinese medicine.

Among them was the miracle medicine that made the empress dowager unconscious and the imperial physician helpless.

That is to say, the remnants of the previous dynasty are not only connected with the barbarians, they are also connected with the village in the southwest. Fortunately, they discovered it early and can arrange for the Bai family to take precautions in advance.

Wen Daocheng took the prescription and went to Emperor Wu overnight.

Straight to the point: "Father, look, the third kind, does the effect look familiar?" His fingers pinched on the written effect of the third prescription, so strong that it seemed that the parchment would be smashed at any time.

That was the cause of Queen Zhou's death!

Wen Daocheng had never been able to find any evidence to prove that his mother did not die of illness, but was killed by others.But he just had such a premonition that his mother would not die like that at such a young age.

Facts also proved that Wen Daocheng was right.

Put together with these weird prescriptions, there is also a list of people who have been cleared of the remnants of the previous dynasty.Gu Qiao's parents were among them.

"May I ask you now?" Wen Daocheng looked at Emperor Wu, "Why didn't Duke Xian get a posthumous title after his death?"

From Emperor Wu's attitude towards Gu Qiao, it can be seen that Emperor Wu actually has no ill feeling towards Duke Xian.

Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair, and he hadn't recovered from the blow that Queen Zhou was really killed by someone. He couldn't even protect his first wife.Emperor Wu's speech was like sleepwalking, and the preamble was inconsistent, but he still explained to his son what happened to Xian Guogong as much as possible.

"At that time, you couldn't introduce that your mother died of illness anyway, so why didn't I?" Emperor Wu was also affected by his son's resolute appearance.

It's just that Emperor Wu at that time still didn't think it was his harem who killed the queen. He suspected that the barbarians at the border were restless.

When Emperor Wu was fighting many years ago, in order to calm the troubles at the border, he directly killed the goddess believed by the barbarians. This goddess has been making "prophecies" to the barbarians-only when Daqi is invaded, the barbarians will enjoy the fertile land forever.

The barbarian has always wanted to avenge the goddess.

Killing Queen Zhou should be a testament to the barbarians from the remnants of the previous dynasty, proving their ability to kill Emperor Wu.Of course, Wang Shiwen was in the way, and the remnants of the previous dynasty failed to kill Emperor Wu until the end.

In short, Emperor Wu at that time didn't know about this, but he still turned his suspicious eyes on the barbarians. He ordered Xian Guogong to investigate secretly. The family has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for generations, and Emperor Wu wanted to combine the strengths of the two.

"But he let me down. After several months of investigation, there was no result." All the secret letters of Lord Xian were handed over to Emperor Wu by Wang Shiwen.

At that time, Emperor Wu was in a state of constantly blaming others, and the prince was arguing with him. He was really annoyed, so he directly issued a secret decree to show that the Duke was not good at handling affairs, and to demote according to circumstances.

But before Xian Guogong returned to Beijing, he and his wife "died in an accident."

"I believed Wang Shiwen's analysis at the time..." Emperor Wu didn't say any more, and his remorse was about to overwhelm him. Give it to Gu Qiao."

One drop and one rise are all carried out in secret, so it seems that there is no follow-up seal.

"I suspect now that Duke Xian has tracked down something, and Wang Shiwen changed the news when he sent the letter back." At that time, Emperor Wu completely resigned to his fate, mistakenly thought that his wife died of illness, and when he was deeply saddened, Wang Shiwen contacted the former court outside the palace. The remnants of the crimes silenced Xian Guogong and his wife.

Gu Qiao lowered her head silently after hearing most of the past that could only be speculated.

In this story, no one is wrong except Wang Shiwen.But because Wang Shiwen was behind the scenes, Gu Qiao didn't even have the chance to avenge his parents.

Do not!

"I want to go to northern Xinjiang with my cousin!" When Gu Qiao raised his head again, his inner thoughts were firm. His eyes were burning with flames of revenge. He had to admit that this was not the result of deliberation. Impulse.But he has nothing else but such urges, and he won't look back!

Wen Daocheng smiled: "Coincidentally, that's what I told my father too."

Wang Zhiwen is dead, but the remnants of the previous dynasty and the barbarians are still there.

It is absurd for the prince to lead the army, and it is unlikely that the whole court will agree, even Emperor Wu is not so willing.But Wen Daocheng felt that this was probably the opportunity he had been waiting for since he entered the court. After the quarrel in the court hall, the prince, who had been very quiet since entering the court, walked out slowly, using only one reason, Let other people, including Emperor Wu, have no way to refute.

——When Emperor Wu was still the prince, he also lived a life of fighting in the south and in the north.

Not only that, Emperor Wu also made great military exploits and unified the Central Plains.It is true that there were very few traditions of princes leading troops in the past dynasties, but Daqi never followed the tradition.They have always been unique like this.

"But you're only fourteen!"

"You were only fourteen when you followed Taizu to raise the flag against the previous dynasty!"

No one can stop a son from avenging his mother!

***

Compared with the embarrassment of Emperor Wu, when Gu Qiao expressed to his eldest cousin that he wanted to go back to northern Xinjiang with her, Situ Rong only seriously told Gu Qiao about the various threats that he might encounter. and the possibility of death, and then asked Gu Qiao again: "Do you still want to go now?"

"I think."

"Okay! I agree!" Situ Rong and the prince are really similar sometimes, they are both lunatics who do not play cards according to common sense.

However, the craziest one is probably Wen Zhuan. This young man who has always been rational and elegant, only showing a little love in front of his fiancée, made an amazing decision.

When Situ Rong rode a horse to Wen's mansion to explain that the wedding probably couldn't be held for the time being, Wen Zhuan said, "Yes, we will get married in northern Xinjiang!"

Wen Zhuan had already informed his parents and grandfather that the prince was going to the battlefield, and as a subject of the prince, he would follow the prince.He couldn't deny that one of the reasons he wanted to go to northern Xinjiang was Situ Rong, but Situ Rong was definitely not all the reasons.He has considered it carefully, and it is an opportunity for Situ Rong, the prince, and even his own future career.

"My grandfather has already agreed." As long as Mr. Wen opened his mouth, the matter would be settled. "I'm not a general, but I can make do with an idea and a strategy of war. If it doesn't work, I can do it." Do logistics for you."

In terms of preparing military supplies, Wen Zhuan has this confidence that they will need him.
